This release is generally thought to be mediated by an elevation of cytosolic \(Ca^{2+}\). Recent evidence suggests that there might be factors that modulate the coupling between \(Ca^{2+}\) levels and mediator release. The present report identifies adenosine as one such modulator. Adenosine and several of its metabolically stable analogues were shown to enhance histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells in response to stimuli such as concanavalin A. Metabolizing endogenous adenosine with adenosine deaminase dampened the response to stimuli, whereas trapping endogenous adenosine inside mast cells with nucleoside-transport inhibitors markedly enhanced stimulated histamine release. The metabolically stable adenosine analogue 5' -(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA) did not affect the initial steps in the sequence from IgE-receptor activation to mediator release, which are generation of inositol trisphosphate and increase of cytosolic \(Ca^{2+}\). However, NECA did enhance the release induced in ATP-permeabilized cells by exogenous \(Ca^{2+}\), but it had no effect on the release induced by phorbol esters. These data suggest that adenosine sensitizes mediator release by a mechanism regulating stimulus-secretion coupling at a step distal to receptor activation and second-messenger generation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KreuzerVejnarSchuessleretal.1988, author = {Kreuzer, Hans and Vejnar, Zdenek and Sch{\"u}ssler, Ulrich and Okrusch, Martin and Seidel, Eberhard}, title = {K-Ar dating of the last metamorphic events in different tectonic units of the western margin of the Bohemian Massif}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87527}, year = {1988}, abstract = {K-Ar dating on hornblendes and micas from the Tepl{\"a}Domazlice zone revealed a pattern of dates which significantly deviates from the mid-Carboniferous to early Permian one that is found in the adjacent low-pressure metamorphic Moldanubian and Saxothuringian.

Elimination of Tu-specific genes releases the transforming function of Tu and leads to melanoma formation. Southern blot analyses revealed a tight linkage of a v-erb B related gene to the Tu-locus and Northern blot analyses of RNA of solid melanomas indicated a coordinated deregulation and for mutational activation of several oncogenes. In order to get a better insight into the regulation of oncogene expression in normal and transformed cells of Xiphophorus, we studied the expression of Xsrc, Xras, Xmyc, Xerb A, Xsis, and the v-erb B related gene in a melanoma derived cell line (PSM) and an embryonic cell line (A2) under conditions of low growth factor supply. Both celllines express the Xsrc, Xmyc, and Xras genes, while PSM cells in addition express the v-erb B related gene and A2 cells the Xsis gene. In PSM cells serum deprivation leads to an accumulation of most of the oncogene mRNAs analysed. This is most apparent for a 5.0 kb transcript of the v-erb B related gene, probably due to an increase in transcript stability. The levels of these mRNAs returned to normal within 2h after stimulation with 10\% fetal calf serum. At the protein level we observed an initial decrease followed by an increase of the n-p60c-src kinase (the protein product of tbe Xsrc gene) activity in cells deprived of serum. Serum stimulation restored a normal pp60"-src kinase activity. In contrast serum deprivation of A2 cells reduced the transcript amounts of each of the oncogenes analysed. The same holds true for one beta-tubulin transcript, while the level of a second beta-tubulin transcript was unaffected. Serum stimulation led to a reactivation of Xras and Xsrc after a delay of approximately 48b. The pp60(c-src) kinase activity was found to be 6-10 times lower as compared to the PSM cells and did not differ between serum deprived and serum stimulated cells. Enzyme activities and isoenzyme patterns of several glycolytic enzymes were found to be not affected by serum deprivation and stimulation in both celllines.}, subject = {Schwertk{\"a}rpfling}, language = {en} } @article{MaeuelerRaulfSchartl1988, author = {M{\"a}ueler, Winfried and Raulf, Friedrich and Schartl, Manfred}, title = {Expression of proto-oncogenes in embryonic, adult, and transformed tissue of Xiphophorus (Teleostei: Poeciliidae)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-86233}, year = {1988}, abstract = {In Xiphophorus the causative, primary cellular oncogene for melanoma formation has been assigned by classical genetics to a sex-chromosomal locus, designated Tu.

In order to understand the role which known proto-oncogenes migbt play in this process, we have analysed the expression of src, erb A, erb B, ras, abl, sis and mil related genes from Xiphophorus during embryogenesis, in non-tumorous organs and in melanoma cells. For src, ras, erb B and sis a differential expression during embryogenesis and/or in normal organs was detected, with preferential expression of src in neural tissues, a high abundance of sis transcripts in an embryonal epitheloid cellline and of erbB transcripts in the head nephros. In melanoma cells ras, src and a v-erb B related gene were found to be expressed. The src gene most likely is more involved in secondary processes during tumor progression, while the expression of the v-erb B related gene might be transformation-specific because recently such a sequence was found to map to the close vicinity of the Tu-locus.}, subject = {Schwertk{\"a}rpfling}, language = {en} } @incollection{WeinertSchneiderKnopf1988, author = {Weinert, Franz E. and Schneider, Wolfgang and Knopf, Monika}, title = {Individual differences in memory development across the life-span}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-70666}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Experimental research on memory development has typically focused on the description of universal development trends across the life span and the identification of major sources of development within this domain.

Similarly, our knowledge about the stability of interindividual differences across the life span as well as the sources and the amount of intraindividual variability across memory tasks is scarce. In the present chapter, we concentrate on these neglected issues. First, theoretical assumptions concerning the interindividual and intraindividual variability of memory development are discussed. Next, empirical evidence is presented that seems suited to document the importance of these neglected issues. While we try to give a representative account of the literature, the emphasis is on more recent studies of memory development in children and elderly adults conducted in our laboratory. The results demonstrate that age-related changes and individual differences in the knowledge base are particularly important for describing and explaining individual differences in memory develoment. In comparison, the rote of stable individual differences in basic memory capacities in explaining variations in memory development is less clear given tbe conflicting empirical evidence.

Iridophores and nitrogen metabolism}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-78094}, year = {1988}, abstract = {Ofall amphibians living in arid habitats, reed frogs (belonging to the super species Hyperolius viridiflavus) are the most peculiar. Froglets are able to tolerate dry periods of up to 35 days or longer immediately after metamorphosis, in climatically exposed positions. They face similar problems to estivating juveniles, i.e. enduranee of long periods of high temperature and low RH with rather limited energy and water reserves. In addition, they must have had to develop meehanisms to prevent poisoning by nitrogenous wastes that rapidly accumulate during dry periods as a metabolie consequenee of maintaining a non-torpid state. During dry periods, plasma osmolarity of H. v. taeniatus froglets strongly increased, mainly through urea accumulation. Urea accumulation was also observed during metamorphic climax. During postmetamorphic growth, chromatophores develop with the density and morphology typical of the adult pigmentary pattern. The dermal iridophore layer, which is still incomplete at this time, is fully developed within 4-8 days after metamorphosis, irrespective of maintenance conditions. These iridophores mainly contain the purines guanine and hypoxanthine. The ability of these purines to reflect light provides an excellent basis for the role of iridophores in temperature regulation. In individuals experiencing dehydration stress, the initial rate of purine synthesis is doubled in eomparison to specimens continuously maintained under wet season conditions. This increase in synthesis rate leads to a rapid increase in the thiekness of the iridophore layer, thereby effectively reducing radiation absorption. Thus, the danger of overheating is diminished during periods of water shortage when evaporative cooling must be avoided. After the development of an iridophore layer of sufficient thickness for effective radiation reflectance, synthesis of iridophore pigments does not cease. Rather, this pathway is further used during the remaining dry season for solving osmotic problems eaused by accumulation of nitrogenous wastes. During prolonged water deprivation, in spite of reduced metabolic rates, purine pigments are produced at the same rate as in wet season conditions. This leads to a higher relative proportion of nitrogen end products being stored in skin pigments under dry season conditions. At the end of an experimental dry season lasting 35 days, up to 38\% of the accrued nitrogen is stored in the form of osmotically inactive purines in thc skin. Thus the osmotic problems caused by evaporative water loss and urea production are greatly reduced.}, subject = {Biologie}, language = {en} } @article{LinsenmairSchmuck1988, author = {Linsenmair, Karl Eduard and Schmuck, R.}, title = {Adaptations of the reed frog Hyperbolius viridiflavus to its arid environment.

Despite their small size (300-700 mg), estivating reed frogs do not avoid stressful conditions above ground by burrowing into the soil, but endure the inhospitable climate relatively unprotected, clinging to mostly dry grass sterns. They must have emcient mechanisms to enable them to survive e.g. very high temperatures, low relative hurnidities, and high solar radiation loads. Mechanisms must also have developed to prevent poisoning by the nitrogenous wastes that inevitably result from protein and nucleotide turnover. In contrast to fossorial amphibians, estivating reed frogs do not become torpid. Reduction in metabolism is therefore rather Iimited so that nitrogenous wastes accumulate faster in these frogs than in fossorial amphibians. This severely aggravates the osmotic problems caused by dehydration. During dry periods total plasma osmolarity greatly increases, mainly due to urea accumulation. Of the total urea accumulated over 42 days of experimental water deprivation, 30\% was produced during the first 7 days. In the next 7 days rise in plasma urea content was negligible. This strong initial increase of urea is seen as a byproduct of elevated amino acid catabolism following the onset of dry conditions. Tbe rise in total plasma osmolarity due to urea accumulation, however, is not totally disadvantageous, but enables fast rehydration when water is available for very short periods only. Voiding of urine and feces eeases once evaporative water loss exceeds 10\% of body weight. Tberefore, during continuous water deprivation, nitrogenous end products are not excreted. After 42 days of water deprivation, bladder fluid was substantially depleted, and urea coneentration in the remaining urine (up to 447 mM) was never greater than in plasma fluid. Feces voided at the end of the dry period after water uptake contained only small amounts of nitrogenous end products. DSF (dry season frogs) seemed not to be uricotelic. Instead, up to 35\% of the total nitrogenous wastes produced over 42 days of water deprivation were deposited in an osmotically inert and nontoxic form in iridophore crystals. The increase in skin purine content averaged 150 µg/mg dry weight. If urea had been the only nitrogenous waste product during an estivation period of 42 days, lethal limits of total osmolarity (about 700 mOsm) would have been reached 10-14 days earlier. Thus iridophores are not only involved in colour change and in reducing heat load by radiation remission, but are also important in osmoregulation during dry periods.
