The applicability of hematoxylin-eosin staining plus fluorescence or confocal laser scanning microscopy to the study of elastic fibers in cartilages.

This study focuses on the use of hematoxylin-eosin staining plus fluorescence microscopy for the investigation of elastic fibers in some elastic cartilages. We have observed that elastic fibers are consistently imaged by the proposed procedure and the resolution attained is similar to that obtained with the classical Weigert's fuchsin-resorcin. The results also demonstrate that elastin autofluorescence gives little or no contribution to the final fluorescence and that the use of the confocal laser scanning microscope adds to the resolution, permits the use of thicker sections and reveals of minute structural at features. We conclude that this is a relevant tool in elastin research.

Interference in the Coomassie Brilliant Blue and Pyrogallol Red protein dye-binding assays is increased by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate to the dye reagents.

We have investigated the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) upon the response of the Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and Pyrogallol Red-molybdate (PRM) protein dye-binding assays to interference from aminoglycosides, ampholytes, detergents, phenothiazines, reducing agents, and miscellaneous substances previously reported to interfere with the assays. The CBB assay was less prone to interference than the PRM assay but gave positive interference with the detergents and the phenothiazines and negative interference with dextran sulfate. The PRM assay gave positive interference with the aminoglycosides, ampholytes, and phenothiazines and negative interference with SDS, citric acid, dextran sulfate, EDTA, oxalic acid, and tartaric acid. The level of interference varied in the presence of different proteins (albumin, gamma globulin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, or lysozyme) and increased when SDS was added to the dye reagents.

The effects of inhibitors upon pore formation by diphtheria toxin and diphtheria toxin T domain.

The formation of pores by membrane-inserted diphtheria toxin is closely linked to the translocation of its catalytic chain across membranes. In this report a number of aromatic polyanionic molecules were identified that inhibit toxin-induced leakage of molecules from model membrane vesicles. One inhibitor, Cibacron blue, totally blocked pore formation. Aniline blue and Fast Green decreased the size of the molecule released by a given concentration of toxin. Amaranth appeared to reduce the maximal amount of leakage, without greatly affecting the size of the molecule released at a given toxin concentration. Finally, Ponceau S and Cibacron brilliant red appeared to exhibit a mixture of these various types of inhibition. The inhibitors neither prevented the conformational transition of the toxin to form a hydrophobic state at low pH, nor (with the exception of Cibacron Brilliant Red) appeared to strongly inhibit toxin binding to model membranes. Additional experiments showed release of trapped materials from model membranes by isolated T domain of the toxin was similar to that by whole toxin. The effects of inhibitors on T domain induced release was also similar to that they have on whole toxin. Therefore, it is likely that the inhibition of pore formation by whole toxin involves inhibitor interaction with the T domain. The inhibitors identified in this study may be helpful for development of agents that interfere with toxin action in vivo.

Detecting microdamage in bone.

Fatigue-induced microdamage in bone contributes to stress and fragility fractures and acts as a stimulus for bone remodelling. Detecting such microdamage is difficult as pre-existing microdamage sustained in vivo must be differentiated from artefactual damage incurred during specimen preparation. This was addressed by bulk staining specimens in alcohol-soluble basic fuchsin dye, but cutting and grinding them in an aqueous medium. Nonetheless, some artefactual cracks are partially stained and careful observation under transmitted light, or epifluorescence microscopy, is required. Fuchsin lodges in cracks, but is not site-specific. Cracks are discontinuities in the calcium-rich bone matrix and chelating agents, which bind calcium, can selectively label them. Oxytetracycline, alizarin complexone, calcein, calcein blue and xylenol orange all selectively bind microcracks and, as they fluoresce at different wavelengths and colours, can be used in sequence to label microcrack growth. New agents that only fluoresce when involved in a chelate are currently being developed--fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensors. Such agents enable microdamage to be quantified and crack growth to be measured and are useful histological tools in providing data for modelling the material behaviour of bone. However, a non-invasive method is needed to measure microdamage in patients. Micro-CT is being studied and initial work with iodine dyes linked to a chelating group has shown some promise. In the long term, it is hoped that repeated measurements can be made at critical sites and microdamage accumulation monitored. Quantification of microdamage, together with bone mass measurements, will help in predicting and preventing bone fracture failure in patients with osteoporosis.
