Abstract The ETS oncogene family member PU.1 is a transcriptional activator that is dysregulated by Friend erythroleukemia virus insertion. Northern analysis found that PU.1 is highly expressed in cells of myeloid and B- lymphoid origin, but not expressed at all in a number of nonhematopoietic tissues. Interferon-gamma and retinoic acid downregulated PU.1 expression in marrow macrophages. In situ immunohistochemistry found that PU.1 is expressed only in early granulocytic and erythroid cells and megakaryocytes, but not in mature erythroid cells, mature granulocytes, endothelial cells, or osteocytes. Thus, its expression pattern makes PU.1 a candidate for a genetic determinant of lineage commitment and stage progression in blood cell development. It also lends insight into how PU.1 might play a role in Friend virus erythroleukemia.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg) is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily and has been shown in vitro to regulate genes involved in lipid metabolism and adipocyte differentiation. By Northern analysis, we and other researchers have shown that expression of this receptor predominates in adipose tissue in adult mice, and appears first in whole-embryo mRNA at 13.5 days postconception. In situ hybridization was used to find out in which developing tissues PPARg is specifically expressed.Digoxigenin-labeled riboprobes were generated using the Genius™ 4 RNA Labeling Kit from Boehringer Mannheim. Full length PPAR gamma, obtained by PCR from mouse liver cDNA, was inserted into pBluescript SK and used as template for the transcription reaction. Probes of average size 200 base pairs were made by partial alkaline hydrolysis of the full length transcripts. The in situ hybridization assays were performed as described previously with some modifications. Frozen sections (10 μm thick) of day 18 mouse embryos were cut, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and acetylated with 0.25% acetic anhydride in 1.0M triethanolamine buffer. The sections were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature in pre-hybridization buffer, and were then hybridized with a probe concentration of 200μg per ml at 70° C, overnight in a humidified chamber. Following stringent washes in SSC buffers, the immunological detection steps were performed at room temperature. The alkaline phosphatase labeled, anti-digoxigenin antibody and detection buffers were purchased from Boehringer Mannheim. The sections were treated with a blocking buffer for one hour and incubated with antibody solution at a 1:5000 dilution for 2 hours, both at room temperature. Colored precipitate was formed by exposure to the alkaline phosphatase substrate nitrobluetetrazoliumchloride/ bromo-chloroindlylphosphate.

The design code Eurocode 7 relies on semi-probabilistic calculation procedures, through utilization of the soil parameters obtained by in situ and laboratory tests, or by the means of transformation models. To reach a prescribed safety margin, the inherent soil parameter variability is accounted for through the application of partial factors to either soil parameters directly or to the resistance. However, considering several sources of geotechnical uncertainty, including the inherent soil variability, measurement error and transformation uncertainty, full probabilistic analyses should be implemented to directly consider the site-specific variability. This paper presents the procedure of developing fragility curves for levee slope stability and piping as failure mechanisms that lead to larger breaches, where a direct influence of the flood event intensity on the probability of failure is calculated. A range of fragility curve sets is presented, considering the variability of levee material properties and varying durations of the flood event, thus providing crucial insight into the vulnerability of the levee exposed to rising water levels. The procedure is applied to the River Drava levee, a site which has shown a continuous trend of increased water levels in recent years.

Abstract Murine erythroid precursor cells, stimulated to proliferate in vitro in the absence of added erythropoietin (EP) by the anemia strain of Friend virus (FVA), will subsequently respond to EP by complete erythrocyte differentiation. If not exposed to EP, the erythroid cells divide for about 120 hr in culture, and they maintain the potential for full differentiation in response to EP added at any time during the period from 72 to 120 hr. Between 96 and 120 hr of culture without added EP, the EP-sensitive erythroid precursor cells that have formed discrete erythroid bursts can be isolated in relatively large numbers from such cultures by plucking with a Pasteur pipette. The addition of EP initiates the final stages of erythroid differentiation, including heme synthesis in 70%-80% of these isolated cells. With respect to homogeneity of the precursor cells, quantity of EP-responsive cells obtainable, and uniformity of EP responsiveness, this system is uniquely favorable for biochemical studies of the late differentiation effects of EP. The overall changes in gene expression accompanying EP- induced terminal differentiation were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of proteins labeled for a short time with radioactive amino acids. Several new proteins are synthesized in these erythroid cells during terminal differentiation, but the number is a very small percentage of the total number of proteins being made. Thus, in this system, the effect of EP is to initiate expression of a small group of genes, including those for globins, spectrin, and other proteins involved in the final stages of erythroid differentiation.
