Abstract

A method is given by means of which histological image contents can quantitatively be determined with the help of electronic image analysis. A case of a chronical liver disease is quoted as instance for the application of the method in routine diagnosis. A possibility is shown to open quantitative and reproducible computation to descriptive histopathology.

Decoding ALS from the tail end of RNA.

In this issue of Cell Genomics, McKeever et al.1 generate a single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of ALS/FTLD brain and reveal widespread alternative polyadenylation changes. Their findings highlight 3' end RNA processing as a central integrator of stress responses, cell-type specificity, and disease susceptibility, offering new mechanistic insight and potential therapeutic directions.

Generation of viroid conformational isomers that are stable to incubation with magnesium ions and in a nuclear extract from tomato plants.

We identified conditions for heating and quick cooling viroid RNAs in the presence of salt which lead to the production of conformational isomers stable to incubation for at least 45 minutes at 30 degrees in the presence of magnesium ions. Elution in 0.3 M NaCl allowed the purification of an electrophoretically slow form of an in vitro transcript carrying a complete copy of the potato spindle tuber viroid RNA sequence. Slow forms of this transcript and of kinase-labeled linear viroid RNA persisted for longer than 20 minutes when incubated with a protein-rich extract prepared from the nuclei of uninfected tomato plants, although both were slowly cleaved by a nuclease present in this extract. The fast form of the transcript was highly resistant to this tomato ribonuclease. The slow form of the transcript was much more susceptible to cleavage by RNase T1 than the fast form of this RNA, suggesting that the reduced gel mobility of the slow forms results from their relatively open structure. The ability to purify viroid conformational isomers from polyacrylamide gels will facilitate biochemical studies aimed at identifying host components interacting with RNAs of the viroid replication complex, which may not all be present in the most thermodynamically favored rodlike structure of mature viroids.

The use of nuclear morphometry to predict response to therapy in Wilms' tumor.

Using nuclear morphometric analysis, a retrospective study was made of 27 patients with Wilms' tumor. The blinded group consisted of 17 patients with Stage I and II favorable-histology Wilms' tumors who did not respond to therapy and ten patients with Stage III and IV favorable-histology Wilms' tumors who did respond. In this complex group of patients, multivariate analysis (with several morphologic descriptors) was used to predict which patients responded to therapy. No single-shape descriptor predicted the response to therapy (P greater than 0.5). However, three shape descriptors: maximum ellipticity (ME), standard error of bending energy (SEBE), and the range of chain code-maximum peak (RCCM), with the multivariate formula of (1131 x SEBE) + (-7 x ME) + (50 x RCCM) + 7.18, separated the two groups (P less than 0.004). This result was statistically significant. Using this multivariate equation and a cutoff value of 0.6 units, this test yielded a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 70%. This result, in a complex group of patients, suggests that nuclear morphometry may be useful in the initial assessment of patients with Wilms' tumor and warrants further analysis.
