Fm1-43 reveals membrane recycling in adult inner hair cells of the mammalian cochlea.

Neural transmission of complex sounds demands fast and sustained rates of synaptic release from the primary cochlear receptors, the inner hair cells (IHCs). The cells therefore require efficient membrane recycling. Using two-photon imaging of the membrane marker FM1-43 in the intact sensory epithelium within the cochlear bone of the adult guinea pig, we show that IHCs possess fast calcium-dependent membrane uptake at their apical pole. FM1-43 did not permeate through the stereocilial mechanotransducer channel because uptake kinetics were neither changed by the blockers dihydrostreptomycin and d-tubocurarine nor by treatment of the apical membrane with BAPTA, known to disrupt mechanotransduction. Moreover, the fluid phase marker Lucifer Yellow produced a similar labeling pattern to FM1-43, consistent with FM1-43 uptake via endocytosis. We estimate the membrane retrieval rate at approximately 0.5% of the surface area of the cell per second. Labeled membrane was rapidly transported to the base of IHCs by kinesin-dependent trafficking and accumulated in structures that resembled synaptic release sites. Using confocal imaging of FM1-43 in excised strips of the organ of Corti, we show that the time constants of fluorescence decay at the basolateral pole of IHCs and apical endocytosis were increased after depolarization of IHCs with 40 mm potassium, a stimulus that triggers calcium influx and increases synaptic release. Blocking calcium channels with either cadmium or nimodipine during depolarization abolished the rate increase of apical endocytosis. We suggest that IHCs use fast calcium-dependent apical endocytosis for activity-associated replenishment of synaptic membrane.

Zinc, iron, and sodium in hair of deer from areas of contrasting soil productivity.

Jones RL.

The contribution of soils to animal biology through the soil's effect on the ecosystem is an important concept in ecology. Zinc, Fe, and Na contents were determined in autumnal collections of hair of fawn white-tailed doe deer (Virginianus odocoilcus) from two areas of contrasting soil productivity. The area-weighted soil productivity of one area was 40 compared with 79 for the other area. Hair collections were made in each of 8 consecutive years. The mean difference in dressed weight of fawn does collected from these areas in late autumn over 4 yr amounted to 7.2 kg. Some of this weight difference was presumed to be accounted for by a difference in the level of mineral nutrition because the amount of forage was not limiting in either area. Considering the total sample of 8 yr, the mean contents of Zn were 96 and 98, of Fe were 42 and 45, and of Na were 38 and 36 mg/kg for the respective areas. None of the elements was significantly different each year over the observation period. In 3 yr, at least one of the elements differed, and in 1 yr all three differed. The contents of the elements were not related to April through August precipitation, which was considered a measure of plant-available water thought to be important in mineral absorption by forage vegetation. Zinc was significantly different in 29 of the 56 between-year comparisons within areas; Fe differed in 2 and Na in 14 comparisons. The site of collection of the doe was known within a 2.6-km2 area for about 80% of the samples for one of the areas and 90% for the other; therefore, either a soil series or soil association could be identified with the deer. Soils were grouped into two categories in each sampling area; the groupings reflected the intensity of weathering and leaching in one area, and in the other case where soil weathering was not as well developed, substantial soil taxonomic contrast related to grass or deciduous tree vegetation associated with soil development. Only Fe in hair from does collected in the more intensively weathered soil area was significantly different, perhaps reflecting higher levels of plant-available Fe made available to plants because of breakdown of Fe-bearing minerals.

Mated Crl:CD VAF/Plus female rats, in a range-finding study (n = 5-6 per dose) and a subsequent definitive study (n = 30 per dose) were used to determine the developmental toxicity, including the teratogenic potential of levo-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM) hydrochloride, in tolerant rats. Tolerance was induced by initially administering the drug by gavage (10 ml/kg) at 2 mg/kg/day and increasing the dose every 2 weeks for 12 weeks until the doses of 2, 6, 9, 12, and 15, or 2, 6, and 12 mg/kg/day were achieved in the range-finding or definitive study, respectively. Females were then mated to stock males and treated throughout mating and gestation. Controls received distilled water on a similar regimen. The range-finding experiment was used for initial clinical evaluations and to determine tissue concentrations of LAAM and metabolites. In plasma, liver, and brain collected from dams and fetuses pooled by litter on gestation day 20, LAAM and its two N-demethylated metabolites, norLAAM and dinorLAAM, showed dose-dependent increases in concentration and in tissue to plasma ratios. Tissue to dam plasma ratios were highest in dam liver (17-60), intermediate in fetal liver (3-16), and fetal brain (3-14), and lowest in dam brain (0.8-5.6) and fetal plasma (0.3-2.1). In the definitive study, caesarean section examinations were performed following euthanization on gestation day 20 on all surviving females followed by teratologic examination of the fetuses. Drug-related outcomes, including increased activity, secondary hair loss, scabbing, focal swelling, and material around the nose, were exhibited by all groups receiving LAAM. Maternal toxicity was evident as decreased body weights, with maximum reduction at the 6-mg/kg/day dose, and reduction in feed consumption. There was also evidence of developmental toxicity in the form of postimplantation losses at all doses of LAAM. There were no deaths attributable to LAAM. No grossly observable visceral or skeletal anomalies related to LAAM were observed in the fetuses. In conclusion, the no-observable-effect level when administered to tolerant rats was less than 2 mg/kg/day with regard to clinical signs, body weight, body weight gain, and feed consumption, and with regard to developmental toxicity as reflected by postimplantation losses. Despite maternal and developmental toxicity, there was no evidence of selective fetal toxicity or teratogenic activity attributable to LAAM.

Dissection of a complex enhancer element: maintenance of keratinocyte specificity but loss of differentiation specificity.

Kaufman CK, Sinha S, Bolotin D, Fan J, Fuchs E.

In this report, we explored the mechanisms underlying keratinocyte-specific and differentiation-specific gene expression in the skin. We have identified five keratinocyte-specific, open chromatin regions that exist within the 6 kb of 5' upstream regulatory sequence known to faithfully recapitulate the strong endogenous keratin 5 (K5) promoter and/or enhancer activity. One of these, DNase I-hypersensitive site (HSs) 4, was unique in that it acted independently to drive abundant and keratinocyte-specific reporter gene activity in culture and in transgenic mice, despite the fact that it was not essential for K5 enhancer activity. We have identified evolutionarily conserved regulatory elements and a number of their associated proteins that bind to this compact and complex enhancer element. The 125-bp 3' half of this element (referred to as 4.2) is by far the smallest known strong enhancer element possessing keratinocyte-specific activity in vivo. Interestingly, its activity is restricted to a subset of progeny of K5-expressing cells located within the sebaceous gland. The other half of HSs 4 (termed 4.1) possesses activity to suppress sebocyte-specific expression and induce expression in the channel (inner root sheath) cells surrounding the hair shaft. Our findings lead us to a view of keratinocyte gene expression which is determined by multiple regulatory modules, many of which contain AP-2 and/or Sp1/Sp3 binding sites for enhancing expression in skin epithelium, but which also harbor one or more unique sites for the binding of factors which determine specificity. Through mixing and matching of these modules, additional levels of specificity are obtained, indicating that both transcriptional repressors and activators govern the specificity.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors. Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs. However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals. The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime. Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.














DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older. various health benefits: To deter aging, improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance, facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions, and treat depression.
