Stimulation of changes in cytosolic free calcium by parathyroid hormone was determined in three opossum kidney (OK) cell types, OK wild-type, OKP clone, and OKH clone. All three types of OK cells express parathyroid hormone (PTH)-sensitive adenylate cyclase and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production. However, only the OK wild-type and the OKP clone respond to PTH with inhibition of sodium-dependent Pi transport and transient increase in cytosolic calcium. Characterization of the increases in cytosolic calcium in the wild-type and OKP clones revealed they were due in part to stimulation of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, probably by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which was stimulated by PTH. PTH-stimulated Ca2+ transients were also inhibited by protein kinase C activation. These data are compatible with PTH receptor-mediated phospholipase C activation and its feedback inhibition by protein kinase C. The OKH cells demonstrated a slow increase in cytosolic calcium when stimulated by cyclic nucleotides but no evidence for PTH stimulation of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. Thus the absence of an inhibitory response of sodium-dependent Pi transport to PTH in the OKH cells is associated with the absence of the rapid transient elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ such as those produced by IP3 production. These data suggest an important cooperative role for cAMP and the phospholipase C-stimulated Ca2(+)-protein kinase C message system in the regulation of Pi transport.

Article Synopsis
- * A study isolated 29 phages from sewage that effectively target these CPE strains, finding that most have a broad host range among the tested bacteria.
- * Phage therapy using a cocktail of 10 phages showed promise by delaying resistance in one strain (Kp21), while another strain (Kp22) was less affected, highlighting the complexity of phage interactions and potential trade-offs in resistance development.
Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a Vero cell culture-derived whole-virus H7N9 vaccine in mice and guinea pigs.

Background: A novel avian H7N9 virus with a high case fatality rate in humans emerged in China in 2013. We evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a candidate Vero cell culture-derived whole-virus H7N9 vaccine in small animal models.
Methods: Antibody responses induced in immunized DBA/2J mice and guinea pigs were evaluated by hemagglutination inhibition (HI), microneutralization (MN), and neuraminidase inhibition (NAi) assays.
A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 activity sheds the ectodomain of the amyloid precursor-like protein 2 and regulates protein expression in proximal tubule cells.

A disintegrin and metalloprotease 10 (ADAM10) is a zinc protease that mediates ectodomain shedding of numerous receptors including Notch and members of the amyloid precursor protein family (APP, APLP1, and APLP2). Ectodomain shedding frequently activates a process called regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) that links cellular events with gene regulation. To characterize ADAM10 in kidney and in opossum kidney proximal tubule (OKP) cells, we performed indirect immunofluorescence microscopy and immunoblotting of renal membrane fractions using specific antibodies.

Heat tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana (WT) and its mutants, crr2-2, lacking NADPH-dehydrogenase (Ndh-pathway), and pgr5, deficient in proton gradient regulation and/or ferredoxin-quinone-reductase (FQR-pathway), was studied from 30 to 46°C. Chlorophyll fluorescence revealed that thermal damage to photosystem II (PSII) was maximal in WT plants following short-term exposure of leaves to moderate or high temperature stress. Thermal stress impaired the photosynthetic electron flow at oxidizing and reducing sides of PSII.

Background: Angiotensin II is a potent stimulator of the proximal tubule apical membrane Na/H antiporter, encoded by NHE3. The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, c-Src, plays a key role in regulation of NHE3 by acidosis in the proximal tubule, and in signaling effects of angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle.
Methods: The present studies examined the role of c-Src in mediating angiotensin II-induced NHE3 activation in cultured OKP cells.
