[Carbohydrate metabolism in sheep when adding carboxyline to their diet].

The content of glycogen and glucose, as well as aldolase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activities in liver tissue and the same activities in skeletal muscle of sheep were determined under the influence of prolonged addition of carboxyline separately and in combination with methionine, diammonium phosphate and potassium iodine to their diet. It is established that under the influence of carboxyline the glycogen content as well as aldolase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activities rise significantly in the liver of the tested animals. In the skeletal muscle only aldolase activity increases.

Effect of immobilization on some glycolytic enzymes of skeletal muscle.

The effect of immobilization by plaster cast was studied on the activities of phosphoglucomutase (PGM), pyruvate kinase ( PyK ) and cAMP-dependent protein kinase in fast (extensor digitorum longus [EDL]), and slow (soleus) muscles of rats. In control untreated animals, PGM and PyK activities are 3 and 5 fold higher respectively in EDL than in soleus in correlation with the high glycolytic activity of fast muscles. During the four weeks period of immobilization a 20% decrease occurred in PGM activity, to which no limiting role in glycolysis is attributed, while PyK which has a regulatory function, showed a 35% decrease in EDL; at the same time in the soleus the activity of these enzymes did not change. The decrease of PGM and PyK activity in EDL diminished the difference between the slow and fast muscles, and it was evaluated as a tendency to dedifferentiation (transformation). The activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, in contrast to the glycolytic enzymes, was higher in the soleus than in the EDL and during immobilization it did not change significantly in either the muscles.

[Comparative investigations on polymorphism of the red cell enzymes in Franconia and West Hungary (author's transl)].

The distribution of the phenotypes of the red cell enzymes adenosine deaminase, adenylate kinase, glutamate pyruvate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphoglucomutase was studied in blood samples of 794 West Hungarian subjects and 955 subjects from Franconia in Bavaria. All enzymes were separated on cellulose acetate foil, SEP in starch gel. The method of separation has been described elsewhere. The phenotypes of all enzymes were found to be distributed according to the Hardy-Weinberg law. The calculated gene frequencies were in good agreement with data from the literature, according to the results of other investigations carried out in Germany and the central European region. No significant difference was found between the gene frequencies of these enzyme phenotypes in West Hungary and Franconia, although the PGM2 frequency level was higher in West Hungary than in Franconia.

Assignment of the gene for acid beta-glucosidase to human chromosome 1.

The structural gene for human acid beta-glucosidase (GBA) has been assigned to chromosome 1 using somatic cell hybridization techniques for gene mapping. The human enzyme was detected in mouse RAG cell-human fibroblast cell hybrids by a sensitive double antibody immunoprecipitation assay using a mouse antihuman GBA antibody. No cross-reactivity between mouse beta-glucosidase and human GBA or neutral beta-glucosidase (GBN) was observed. Fifty-two primary, secondary, and tertiary manmouse hybrid lines, derived from three separate fusion experiments, were analyzed for human GBA and enzyme markers for the human chromosomes. Without exception, the presence of human GBA in these hybrid clones was correlated with the presence of human chromosome 1 or its enzymatic markers, phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1), and fumarate hydratase (FH). All other human chromosomes were eliminated by the independent segregation of GBA and their respective enzyme markers and/or chromosomes. Using a RAG X human fibroblast line with a mouse-human rearrangement of human chromosome 1, the locus for GBA was limited to the region 1p11 to 1qter.

Conservation of the syntenic group enol - pgd - pgm in mammals: its assignment to chromosome 2 in the Chinese hamster.

Hybrids between cells from mouse permanent lines and Chinese hamster thymus cells explanted from animals maintained mouse chromosomes and lost most hamster chromosomes. In twenty-seven hybrids examined for expression of enolase 1. phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and phosphoglucomutase, the Chinese hamster forms of the three enzymes were either expressed together, or not expressed at all. Thus, the three genes eno1, pgd, and pgm appear syntenic in Chinese hamster as they are in man (chromosome 1p), and in mouse (chromosome 4). The three markers map on the Chinese hamster chromosome 2.

[Genetic studies of hydatidiform mole with 46,XY karyotype (author's transl)].

Complete hydatidiform moles are androgenetic in origin. The majority of them show a 46,XX karyotype, while some are 46,XY. Chromosome analysis of 75 complete moles revealed three (4.0%) to be so. The XY moles, the patients and their husbands were studied for various polymorphic markers, including chromosomal Q-banding heteromorphism, HLA antigen, phosphoglucomutase-1 and esterase D, in order to determine the origin of XY moles. In all of the three XY moles studied, some of the polymorphic markers were not inherited from the patients, but they were exclusively paternal. Thus, these moles were androgenetic in origin. They also showed both homozygous and heterozygous Q-banding patterns in their homozygous chromosome pairs. Therefore, they were of dispermic origin. In conclusion, XY moles are of dispermic origin.

Investigation on the distribution of genetic polymorphisms in Greece. 3. Red cell enzyme polymorphisms and genetic distances G.

112 Greeks living in W. Germany and coming from various parts of Greece and 280 individuals from the Isle of Alonissos (northern Aegean Sea) have been typed for seven polymorphic red cell enzymes, namely red cell acid phosphatase (aP), phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) adenylate kinase (AK), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), esterase D (EsD), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), and glyoxylase I (GLO). The gene frequencies obtained in these two samples are compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other Greek populations. Finally genetic distances (basing on six polymorphic serum protein and red cell enzyme systems) have been computed for seven Greek population samples. The results of these distance measurements are discussed.

A statistical model for predicting response of breast cancer patients to cytotoxic chemotherapy.

A binary logistic model is used for predicting response to cytotoxic chemotherapy for a breast cancer patient on the basis of her tumor enzyme activity profile. The enzymes used in the model are lactate dehydrogenase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-isocitrate dehydrogenase, and phosphoglucomutase, all of which were measured on primary tumor specimens from each patient. The statistical model provides an estimate of the probability that an individual will respond to treatment. Chemotherapeutic treatment consisting of combination cytotoxic drugs and subsequent evaluation of patient response followed cooperative group protocol guidelines, including outside review to confirm the patient evaluation. The model based on this study, which represents 5 years of patient follow-up, correctly predicts clinical outcome in 32 of the 37 cases available.

Evidence of selection on PGM1 polymorphism in diabetic pregnancy.

Ninety-nine pregnant women with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, 83 women with gestational diabetes, and a control sample of 315 nondiabetic consecutive puerperae have been studied along with their newborn infants. Neonatal macrosomia is less frequent among diabetic mothers with phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) genotype PGM1*1/*2 than among mothers with other PGM1 genotypes. In gestational diabetes the association is more evident among younger women than among older women. Diabetic women with the PGM1*1/*2 genotype show a reduced proportion of heterozygous PGM1*1/*2 offspring. The phenomenon is much more evident among women under 28 years of age and does not depend on the quality of metabolic control. The data suggest that when both mother and fetus share the PGM1*1/*2 genotype, the deleterious effects of a diabetic environment on fetal development are more severe, leading to an early loss of zygotes. This may contribute to a decrease incidence of macromosomia among live-born infants delivered by PGM1*1/*2 mothers.

[Effect of saccharol glycosides on energy metabolism in animals with abnormal carbohydrate tolerance].

A trial has been performed of a new sweetening agent saccharol, glycosides complex, on energy metabolism in rats with experimental alloxan diabetes. Elevated glucose level observed in rats with insulin insufficiency was associated with hexokinase activity inhibition and changes in the activity of the enzymes involved in glucose-6-phosphate transformation: enhanced activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase against inhibition of phosphoglucomutase activity. Introduction of saccharose aggravated the above shifts in the rat liver, whereas saccharol possesses a protective action on hexokinase hepatic reaction and enzymes of glucose-6-phosphate conversion, reduced blood glucose. Positive changes induced by saccharol on energy metabolism in animals with insulin insufficiency can be attributed to the effect of saccharol glycosides.

Breeding of the gad-mdx mouse: influence of genetically induced denervation on dystrophic muscle fibers.

A new double mutant mouse strain, gad-mdx, was established. The transmission of mdx and gad genes was monitored by determining their chemical markers, creative kinase activity and phosphoglucomutase-1 isoenzyme, respectively, in blood samples. This new strain was characterized by high creatine kinase activity in the plasma, lack of dystrophin in the muscle, and the presence of axonal swellings in the neural tissue. Although the body weight and the limb muscle size of the mutant mice were significantly lower than those of either gad or mdx mice, the clinical signs were not evident until the animals were 80 days old. After that time, the disease followed the course seen in the gad strain, and muscle weakness was exhibited in the advanced stages. Histologic examination revealed that the prevalence of muscle fiber necrosis, a deleterious consequence of the mdx gene, was significantly lower in the double mutant strain than in the mdx strain. These results supported the idea that small-caliber muscle fibers, which are induced by gad gene expression, are resistant to dystrophic necrosis. We believe that this double mutant strain will be valuable for the analysis of neural influence on diseased muscle fibers, and that it will also provide an opportunity for the testing of new therapeutic strategies for human Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Is there a genetic basis for gestational diabetes?

Rh E-PGM1 (phosphoglucomutase locus 1) joint genotype frequencies (chromosome 1) have been determined in 90 women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and in 140 pregnant women with preexisting insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The pattern of Rh E-PGM1 association differs among types of diabetes. The distortion of the pattern tends to assume opposite values in GDM and NIDDM and this is particularly evident in PGM1*2,2 subjects. The proportion of PGM1*2,2 subjects homozygous for the Rh e allele is higher in GDM than in IDDM and NIDDM. IDDM women show an intermediate proportion and NIDDM women show the lowest proportion of this genotype. The opposite pattern is observed among PGM1*2,2 subjects carrying the Rh E allele. Genotype frequencies of the hypervariable region flanking the insulin gene (chromosome 11) have been determined in 77 women with GDM, in 52 pregnant women with preexisting diabetes (IDDM and NIDDM), and in 62 normal adults. In GDM and NIDDM subjects the frequencies are similar. In IDDM women the frequency of homozygotes for the class 1 allele is higher than the frequency found in GDM and NIDDM women. The data suggest a possible genetic basis for the differentiation of a subclass of GDM from both IDDM and NIDDM.

Survivorship and gene frequencies of Drosophila melanogaster populations in abnormal oxygen atmospheres.

Vestigial wing and wild type populations of Drosophila melanogaster were exposed to 5%, 20%, and 60% oxygen at normal atmospheric pressure. Adult mortality rates, larval production, and allele frequency changes in four gene-enzymes were examined in the populations. All flies in 60% oxygen survived as well as controls until day 20 and then died out within the next 10 to 12 d. In 5% oxygen, vestigial wing flies had mortality rates greater than the 20% controls initially, but the rate eventually approached that of the controls. Wild type flies in 5% oxygen survived as well as controls. Larval production and rate of eclosure in 60% oxygen were similar to controls, but reduced in 5% oxygen. Allele frequency shifts to 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and phosphoglucomutase were observed in 5% oxygen, and a shift of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase allele frequencies occurred in 60% oxygen. There was no evidence of in vivo inactivation of ADH, 6-PGD, alpha-GPD or PGM in 60% oxygen.

Effect of trehalose during stress in a heat-shock resistant mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Cells of a heat-shock resistant mutant were approximately 1000-times more resistant to lethal heat shock than those of the parental strain. We observed that exponentially growing cells of the mutant synthesized trehalose and showed increased osmotolerance, dehydration tolerance an ethanol tolerance, a fact not observed in wild type strains. The mutant synthesizes constitutively six proteins, among them two proteins of 56 and 63 kDa. Interestingly these molecular weights could correspond to the subunit of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase and to phosphoglucomutase II, respectively. Our results showed that glucose-growing cells of the hsr 1 mutant possessed high levels of activity of these enzymes when compared to the control strain.

PGM1 subtypes in Cantabria (middle N Spain).

A sample of 500 unrelated individuals from Cantabria (middle north Spain) has been studied for red cell Phosphoglucomutase (PGM1) using isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide. The allele frequencies observed were: PGM1*1 +: 0.643, PGM1*1-: 0.121, PGM1*2 +: 0.195, PGM1*2-: 0.041 and are similar to those reported for other European and Spanish populations. The theoretical exclusion rate in cases of disputed paternity is 30.24%.

Comparative electrophoretic investigation of Rana temporaria, R. graeca and R. dalmatina.

The results of comparative electrophoretic analysis on muscle esterases, superoxide dismutases, lactate dehydrogenases, malate dehydrogenases-NAD-dependent, phosphoglucomutases and myogens in the brown frogs Rana temporaria, R. graeca and R. dalmatina are described. The coefficient of similarity and indices of divergence among the species investigated were estimated. It was established that in relation to the protein systems analysed R. graeca differed more significantly from R. dalmatina than from R. temporaria. It is suggested that the higher electrophoretic similarity of R. temporaria and R. dalmatina is a result of a greater divergence of the latter in comparison with R. graeca.

[Genetic aspects of endometriosis: features of the distribution of polymorphic gene frequencies].

In a group of patients with endometriosis and in a control group of healthy women, the polymorphism of the following systems were studied: ABO and RH blood-group systems; serum proteins haptoglobin (HP), transferrin (TF), vitamin D-transporting protein (GC), protease inhibitor (PI), and the third component of the complement (C3); serum enzymes-amylase of the loci 1 and 2 (AMY1 and AMY2), pseudocholinesterase (E2), and alkaline phosphatase (PP); erythrocytic enzymes-acid phosphatase (ACP1), phosphoglucomutase (PGM1), superoxide dismutase (SOD-A), esterase D (ESD), and glyoxalase (GLO1). Statistically significant differences between the groups compared were established for five genetic systems: ABO, E2, C3, TF, and PGM1. Among patient with endometriosis, the rare alleles of the locus ESD-ESD5 and ESD7-were found, along with ESD 5-5 homozygotes. Several genetic loci can be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis; their products can be specifically realized due to peculiarities of biochemical reactions in the organisms of people predisposed to this pathology.

[Carbohydrate content and glycolysis enzymatic activity in the liver of young purebred and hybrid cattle of both sexes].

It is established that the content of glycogen, glucose, fructose and the activity of phosphoglucomutase and phosphogexoisomerase is considerably higher in the heifer liver and the content of pentoses of adenylic system and the activity of aldolase is essentially lower than in the liver of bulls of the same breed. In the liver of growing hybrid young cattle (except of the Hereford heifers) as compared to the purebred ones the value of the total pentoses: glycogen and pentoses of adenylic system: glycogen ratios are significantly higher. These values in the bull liver of all the breed groups are essentially higher than in the heifer liver. The data obtained evidence for possibility of applying the values of ratio of total pentoses and especially of pentoses of adenylic system to glycogen as well as the activity of aldolase in the liver tissue as biochemical test for estimating the high rate of growth and prognosing the meat productivity of young cattle of different sex.
