Interphase cytogenetic analysis in Argentinean B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients: association of trisomy 12 and del(13q14).

We have evaluated genomic aberrations by conventional cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis in a series of 57 Argentinean B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients. The studies were performed on stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes. FISH analysis for trisomy 12, 13q14 deletion, and monosomy of TP53 (also known as p53) was performed according to standard protocols. Our results showed 46.3% of patients with clonal chromosomal alterations by conventional cytogenetics and 80.7% by FISH. Trisomy 12 was found in 21.9% of patients by G-banding analysis and in 35% by FISH studies. Allelic loss of 13q14 was observed in 63.2% patients, most of them showing D13S319 and D13S25 deletion; 11% of patients showed TP53 monosomy. Coexistence of trisomy 12 and 13q14 deletion was found in 17.5% of patients. In this group, deletion 13q14 was the prevalent clone, with percentages 25-35% higher than those observed for trisomy 12, suggesting clonal evolution. The coexistence of trisomy 12 with deletion 13q14 was observed in a higher frequency than reported in the literature. A probable adverse prognosis is suggested for this group of patients, likely related to clonal evolution.

Healing of experimental excisional wounds in the rat palate. (I) Histological study of the interphase in wound healing after sharp dissection.

Healing of standardized, excisional wounds in the rat palate has been studied in 40 rats for a period of 3 weeks. The excisional wound were made with a specially constructed biopsy instrument with a diameter of 3 mm. The soft tissue was removed by sharp dissection and uncovered bone tissue was left for secondary healing. 5 rats were killed at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 19, 14 and 21 days after the surgical procedure. Photometric measurements were made of the wound at the different control times and serial sections from blocks including the palate, alveolar process and teeth were subjected to light-microscopical examination. Clinical healing was completed within 3 weeks. Photometric measurements showed an almost 50% reduction of the defect between the 7th and 10th days. Histological examination initially revealed a pronounced inflammatory reaction both in the sub-epithelial connective tissue and in the haversian canals of the bone tissue. The epithelialization progressed from the wound borders, the epithelial cells trying to avoid interference with the inflammatory cell infiltrate. Reduction of the wound surface proceeded by contraction of the wound margins as well as by epithelial cell migration. Empty osteocyte lacunae in the surface layer of the bone tissue beneath the wound and the presence of small nectrotic bone fragments indicated that damage to the bone tissue had occurred during the exposure period. After 3 weeks, the defect was completely covered with epithelium although epithelial rete pegs had not yet developed in the central part of the former defect.

Photoelectric response of purple membrane fragments adsorbed on a lipid monolayer supported by mercury and characterization of the resulting interphase.

Purple membrane (PM) fragments were adsorbed on a dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) monolayer supported by mercury to investigate the kinetics of light-driven proton transport by bacteriorhodopsin (bR). PM fragments were also adsorbed on a mercury-supported triethyleneoxythiol (TET) monolayer. On both monolayers, the light-on current exhibits a finite, potential dependent stationary component that decreases linearly with a positive shift in the applied potential. The light-on and light-off capacitive photocurrents were interpreted on the basis of a simple equivalent circuit, which accounts for the potential dependence of the stationary light-on current. The potential of zero stationary current is about equal to +0.010 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) on DOPC-coated mercury. The absolute potential difference across the PM fragments adsorbed at this applied potential was estimated on the basis of extrathermodynamic considerations and amounts to about +260 mV; it compares favorably with the value, +250 mV, of the transmembrane potential of zero stationary current across an oocyte plasma membrane incorporating bR [Biophys. J. 74 (1998) 403.]. The effect of the proton pumping activity of photoexcited PM fragments on the electroreduction kinetics of ubiquinone-10 incorporated in the DOPC monolayer underlying the PM fragments was investigated.

Four-dimensional imaging of chromatin dynamics during the assembly of the interphase nucleus.

Large-scale chromatin organization is likely to play an important role in epigenetic control of gene expression. This implies that after mitosis the correct chromatin organization must be re-established in the nuclei of the two daughter cells. Here we analyze the dynamic behavior of chromatin during the transition from late anaphase to G1 in dividing HeLa cells, which express green fluorescent protein-tagged histone H2B. Time-lapse confocal microscopy was used to image the movement and the decondensation of chromatin as cell division progresses. Typically, time series of over 100 three-dimensional images (4D images) were collected, spanning a time period of up to three hours. Special care was taken to avoid photodamage, since cell cycle progression is exquisitely sensitive to photochemical damage. Quantitative analysis of the 4D images revealed that during the anaphase to G1 transition the movement of chromatin domains relative to other chromatin is remarkably limited. Chromatin dynamics can best be described as a radial expansion of the cluster of chromosomes that is present in late anaphase. We find that decondensation occurs in two phases. First a rapid decondensation by about a factor of two, followed by a slower phase in which part of the chromatin does not decondense any further, whereas the remaining chromatin decondenses further about two fold.
