Abstract
The stomach, a hallmark of gnathostome evolution, represents a unique anatomical innovation characterized by the presence of acid- and pepsin-secreting glands. However, the occurrence of these glands in gnathostome species is not universal; in the nineteenth century the French zoologist Cuvier first noted that some teleosts lacked a stomach. Strikingly, Holocephali (chimaeras), dipnoids (lungfish) and monotremes (egg-laying mammals) also lack acid secretion and a gastric cellular phenotype. Here, we test the hypothesis that loss of the gastric phenotype is correlated with the loss of key gastric genes. We investigated species from all the main gnathostome lineages and show the specific contribution of gene loss to the widespread distribution of the agastric condition. We establish that the stomach loss correlates with the persistent and complete absence of the gastric function gene kit--H(+)/K(+)-ATPase (Atp4A and Atp4B) and pepsinogens (Pga, Pgc, Cym)--in the analysed species. We also find that in gastric species the pepsinogen gene complement varies significantly (e.g. two to four in teleosts and tens in some mammals) with multiple events of pseudogenization identified in various lineages. We propose that relaxation of purifying selection in pepsinogen genes and possibly proton pump genes in response to dietary changes led to the numerous independent events of stomach loss in gnathostome history. Significantly, the absence of the gastric genes predicts that reinvention of the stomach in agastric lineages would be highly improbable, in line with Dollo's principle.

Abstract
We demonstrated a neutral Mg-ATPase activity in human peroxisomal membranes. To establish the precise experimental conditions for detection of this ATPase, both cytochemical and biochemical characterizations were first carried out in liver peroxisomes from control and cipofibrate-treated rats. The results demonstrated an Mg-ATPase reaction in both normal and proliferated peroxisomes. The nucleotidase activity, with marked preference for ATP, was sensitive to the inhibitors N-ethylmaleimide and 7-chloro-4-nitro-benzo-2-oxadiazole (NBDCl). An ultrastructural cytochemical analysis was developed to evaluate the peroxisomal localization, which localized the reaction product to the peroxisomal membrane. These characteristics can help to differentiate the peroxisomal ATPase from the activity found in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. The conditions established for detecting the rat peroxisomal ATPase were then applied to human peroxisomes isolated from liver and skin fibroblasts in culture. A similar Mg-ATPase activity was readily shown, both cytochemically and biochemically, in the membranes of human peroxisomes. These results, together with previous evidence, strongly support the presence of a specific ATPase in the human peroxisomal membrane. This ATPase may play a crucial role in peroxisome biogenesis.

Abstract
Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) may regulate hepatocyte and cholangiocyte functions, and under some conditions it may have deleterious effects on bile secretion and cause cholestasis. The canalicular membrane enzyme Ca2+/Mg2+-ecto-ATPase (ecto-ATPase) hydrolyzes ATP/adenosine diphosphate (ATP/ADP) and regulates hepatic extracellular ATP concentration. Changes in liver ecto-ATPase in estrogen-induced cholestasis were examined in male rats receiving 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (E groups) for 1, 3, or 5 days (5 mg/kg/day, sc) and compared with changes in rats subjected to obstructive cholestasis (O groups) for 1, 3, or 8 days. Activity of ecto-ATPase, protein mass in canalicular membranes and bile (estimated by Western blotting), steady state mRNA levels (by Northern blotting), and cellular and acinar distributions of the enzyme (histochemistry and immunocytochemistry) were assessed in these groups. Activity of ecto-ATPase, protein mass in isolated canalicular membranes, and enzyme mRNA levels were significantly increased in E group rats as compared with controls. In contrast, these parameters were markedly decreased in O group rats, and the enzyme protein was undetectable in bile. The ecto-ATPase histochemical reaction was markedly increased in the canalicular membrane of E group rats, extending from acinar zone 2 to zone 1, whereas it decreased in the O group. The ecto-ATPase immunocytochemical reaction was present in the canalicular membrane and pericanalicular vesicles in control and E group hepatocytes, but it decreased in obstructive cholestasis and was localized only to the canalicular membrane. Thus, significant changes in liver ecto-ATPase were apparent in 17alpha-ethinylestradiol-induced cholestasis that were opposite to those observed in obstructive cholestasis. Assuming that the alterations observed in obstructive cholestasis are the result of the cholestatic phenomenon, we conclude that changes in ecto-ATPase in 17alpha-ethinylestradiol-treated rats might be either primary events or part of an adaptive response in 17alpha-ethinylestradiol-induced cholestasis.

Abstract
Increased biliary secretion of cholesterol and lipid vesicles (unilamellae and multilamellae) induced by diosgenin (D), a plant-derived steroid, has cytoprotective effects in the rat liver subjected to obstructive cholestasis. In this study, our aims were to investigate the following: 1) the effects of D on the bile secretory process and on the cholestasis induced by estradiol-17beta-(beta-D-glucuronide) (E17G) or 17 alpha-ethynylestradiol (E) administration; 2) whether the potentially protective effects of D are related to D-induced increase of biliary cholesterol and lipid lamellae; and 3) whether D has other effects capable of modifying specific bile secretory processes or preventing the cholestatic effects of estrogens. Rats were fed a standard ground chow (control group) or chow containing D for 6 days. E17G was administered i.v. to control and D-fed rats and bile flow, bile salt output, and alkaline phosphatase excretion were examined. 17alpha-E was administered from days 4 to 6 to rats fed standard chow or chow plus D for 6 days and different functional parameters of the bile secretory process as well as the ultrastructure of hepatocytes and histochemistry of alkaline phosphatase and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were examined. D-treatment markedly increased cholesterol and lamellar structures in bile and attenuated the acute cholestatic effects of E17G. D-feeding prevented the decrease of taurocholate maximum secretory rate and the increase of biliary alkaline phosphatase and Ca2+,Mg2+-EctoATPase (EctoATPase) excretion, as well as the increase of cholesterol/ phospholipids ratio, alkaline phosphatase activity, and EctoATPase content in canalicular plasma membranes induced by E. D-feeding did not prevent E-induced decrease of basal bile flow, bile salt, cholesterol, and phospholipid secretory rates nor the decrease of Na+,K+-ATPase activity and Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (Ntcp) content in isolated sinusoidal membranes. Cholestatic alterations of canalicular domain were apparent in E-treated rats. D administration was also associated with changes of ultrastructure and histochemistry of hepatocytes. E-induced alterations in ultrastructure and acinar distribution and intensity of histochemical reaction of both enzymes were partially prevented by D-feeding. We conclude that D administration, in addition to inducing a marked increase of biliary cholesterol and lipid lamellar structures output, was associated to changes in hepatocyte morphology and plasma membrane composition, enzymes activity, and histochemistry. D-feeding attenuated the acute cholestatic effects of E17G. D-induced increase of bile cholesterol and lipid lamellae content was not apparent when D-fed rats received E. Despite this fact, D administration prevented some cholestatic effects of E, probably through different metabolic effects and/or direct membrane effects, not related to increased lipid lamellae excretion.

Abstract
The relation between gizzard erosion-black vomit (GE-BV) and gastric secretion is not completely understood. A pharmacological approach to reduce the presence of GE-BV in chicks due to fish meal in diets is also unknown. In this study the use of omeprazole, a H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor, and fish meals of different biotoxicological characteristics, showed that: 1) Omeprazole decreased total gastric acid content, GE scores and severe GE (SGE) cases, in a dose-dependent manner. This reduction was significant at levels higher than 20 mg omeprazole/Kg body weight (BW)/day (p < 0.01). The addition of 50 mg omeprazole/kg BW/day almost completely prevented the incidence of SGE cases and reduced in 50% GE score in chicks (p < 0.01). 2) A significant reduction in specific mortality, near 90%, was also seen with all toxic fish meals when omeprazole (50 mg/Kg BW/day) was added to experimental diets in comparison to control groups. However, no mortality was observed when omeprazole was added to diets containing non-toxic fish meals. 3) In chicks fed with toxic fish meals, addition of different amounts of omeprazole to diets changed the relative weight of proventriculus (p < 0.01) and gizzard (p < 0.05). Maximum effect was obtained with omeprazole concentration higher than 50 mg/Kg BW/day. 4) Omeprazole did not change feed intake in chicks fed with toxic fish meal. However, in some fish meal a reduction on weight gain was observed with the addition of omeprazole.

Abstract
Cholestasis is associated with a marked increase in the release of canalicular membrane enzymes into bile. This phenomenon has been related to an increased lability of these canalicular membrane integral proteins to the solubilizing effects of secreted bile salts. To further characterize the effects of oral ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) administration on ethynylestradiol (EE)-induced cholestasis, the influence of this bile acid on changes in biliary excretion of membrane-bound enzymes was investigated. Bile flow, basal bile salt and biliary lipid secretory rates, the maximum secretory rate of taurocholate (TC SRm), and the biliary excretion of the canalicular membrane-bound ectoenzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) were measured in rats after EE and/or UDCA administration. The activities of ALP, GGT and Na+,K(+)-ATPase in purified isolated canalicular and sinusoidal membrane fractions and the ultrastructure of hepatic acinus, including histochemical studies of ALP distribution, were also examined. EE significantly reduced bile flow, bile salt and biliary lipid secretory rates, and TC SRm, and caused dilatation and loss of microvilli at the canalicular pole of hepatocytes. Biliary excretion of ALP increased 2-fold, whereas biliary excretion of GGT was unchanged. The relationship between biliary excretion of ALP or GGT and bile salt secretion (units of enzyme activity secreted per nanomole of bile salt) was greater in EE-treated rats compared with controls (2.1- and 1.5-fold greater for ALP and GGT, respectively), indicating that in EE-induced cholestasis more enzyme was released into bile per nanomole of bile salt. Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in sinusoidal membrane fraction was reduced significantly, whereas ALP activity increased in both membrane fractions in EE-treated rats. The histochemical distribution of ALP in the acinus showed a strong reaction in acinar zone 3 and at both the canalicular and sinusoidal membranes. Oral administration of UDCA prevented EE-induced bile secretory failure by normalizing bile flow, bile salt and biliary phospholipid secretory rates, and TC SRm. UDCA also prevented the EE-induced changes in the biliary excretion of enzymes. On the contrary, UDCA did not modify either the enzyme activity in isolated membrane fractions or the morphological or ALP histochemical changes associated with EE administration. These data indicate that in EE-induced cholestasis changes occur at the canalicular membrane, enabling this portion of the plasma membrane to be more susceptible to the solubilizing effect of bile salt, and that oral administration of UDCA prevents bile secretory failure and changes in the biliary excretion of ALP and GGT in EE-treated rats.

Abstract
The contribution of brush border cytoskeletal proteins (actin, villin, fimbrin, and brush border myosin-1) to organization of the cytoskeletal network underlying apical plications of oxynticopeptic cells was examined by immunohistochemical techniques in frozen sections of gastric mucosa from the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. Apical localization of F-actin with phalloidin in oxynticopeptic cells inhibited with cimetidine revealed small, punctate domains within the apical cytoplasm that were consistent with the presence of short microvilli revealed by electron microscopy. Localization of F-actin in cells stimulated with forskolin was limited to a wide continuous band of cytoplasm corresponding to the location of numerous long surface folds. Inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide did not prevent acid secretion or formation of actin filaments within surface folds in stimulated oxynticopeptic cells, suggesting that the formation of filaments does not require actin synthesis. Staining of gastric mucosae with fluorescent DNase-1 demonstrated that oxynticopeptic cells possess an unusually large pool of non-filamentous actin. Taken together, these results suggest that actin-filament formation in stimulated cells occurs by polymerization of an existing pool of non-filamentous actin. Localization of antibodies specific for villin and fimbrin revealed that these proteins were present within intestinal absorptive cells and gastric surface and neck cells but were not present within inhibited or stimulated oxynticopeptic cells. Brush border myosin-1, present in intestinal absorptive cells, was not present in gastric epithelium. Thus, we propose that actin-containing projections in oxynticopeptic cells are not organized like intestinal microvilli and that filament formation occurs after stimulation by modulating intracellular pools of filamentous and non-filamentous actin.

Abstract
1. Cimetidine was more potent 4 hr after a single injection of 25 or 100 mg/kg body wt in increasing gastric pH than other H2 receptor antagonists, ranitidine and famotidine but was less efficient than H+/K(+)-ATPase inhibitors. Omeprazole rose proventricular and gizzard pH at a lower dose than SCH 28080 and Ro 18-5364 (30, 50 and 200 mg/kg body wt, respectively). 2. Proventricular and gizzard pH values were maximal 1 and 4 hr after a single injection of 7.5 mumol/kg body wt omeprazole. Inhibition of acid secretion was maintained for 24 hr after an injection of 100 mumol/kg. 3. H+/K(+)-ATPase activity in vitro was 10 mumol Pi/hr/mg protein in the microsomal fractions of the proventriculus. It was doubled by nigericine and inhibited by SCH 28080. However, western blots by high specific H+/K(+)-ATPase monoclonal antibody 95-A3 and 95-111 recognized a 42 kDa band but hardly exhibited the specific 95 kDa band recognition. 4. Chickens and immature pullets showed a higher H+/K(+)-ATPase activity than laying hens. Calcium level of the diet did not affect the enzyme activity but coarse particles of calcium fed to pullets or laying hens enhanced the H+/K(+)-ATPase activity when compared with ground particles.

Abstract
The reversibility and time course of the adaptive changes in hepatic bile salt transport related to modifications of the bile salt enterohepatic circulation and bile salt pool size have not been previously studied. For this reason a model of reversible interruption of entero-hepatic circulation was characterized in unrestrained rats, which allowed the study of changes in hepatic bile salt transport following bile salt pool depletion and subsequent restoration by either the de novo synthesis of bile acids or i.v. administration of exogenous taurocholate. Rats subjected to biliary drainage for 24 h through a transduodenal common bile duct cannula, followed by removal of the cannula and restoration of the enterohepatic circulation were studied at 24, 48 and 72 h. Neither light and electron microscopy examination nor plasma biochemical parameters showed evidence of necrosis, fibrosis, cholestasis or inflammatory changes. Maximum taurocholate secretory rate decreased to 50% following 24-h bile salt depletion. After restoration of the enterohepatic circulation maximum taurocholate secretory rate progressively increased to normal values at 72 h, following the normalization of the bile salt pool size, which had a similar composition compared with controls. The same effect was obtained when the native bile salt pool was substituted with exogenous taurocholate. Thus, adaptive down-regulation of hepatic bile salt transport capacity is a reversible process, related to restoration of entero-hepatic circulation and normalization of bile salt pool size.

Abstract
Changes in ultrastructure and cytoskeletal organization by avian oxyntic cells, at the onset of HCl secretion, were analysed. Cells in resting state, induced by fasting and cimetidine, were compared with histamine stimulated secreting cells. Ultrastructural studies were done by transmission electron microscopy; the distribution of prekeratin, myosin, and filamin-like protein, by immunofluorescence; and that of F-actin using FITC-phalloidin. Resting cells show short pericellular clefts. These are increasingly deepened in secreting cells by a reorganization of the lateral cell borders involving displacement of the junctional complexes toward the cell base and incorporation of the tubular system to the luminal plasma membrane. In secreting cells, the processes of the secretory surface are concentrated in a pericellular groove. Histamine stimulation induces a drastic redistribution of cytoskeletal proteins. In chicken oxyntic cells, in addition to the F-actin cytoskeleton associated with the membranes of the secretory surface, there is a cytoskeletal ring containing F-actin, myosin, and a filamin-like protein, located at the level of the junctional complexes. In resting cells, filaments and masses of cytoskeletal matrix are associated with the zonula adherens. In secreting cells, the junctional complexes maintain their association with the filamentous ring, while the amorphous matrix is replaced by microfilaments that support the processes of the luminal surface. Intermediate filaments form a peripheral ring probably associated with the zonula adherens, and project from the ring toward the cell cytoplasm. Thus, with the onset of HCl secretion, the apical cytoskeletal ring of resting cells displaces toward the cell base. A role for this cytoskeletal ring in the changes in shape parallel to HCl secretion is discussed.

Abstract
The Drosophila mutant, shibirets1 (shits1), is paralyzed at restrictive temperatures (greater than 29 degrees C) by a reversible block in synaptic transmission. Heat pulses deplete synaptic vesicles in nerve terminals and inhibit endocytic internalization of plasma membrane in garland cells and oocytes. In dissociated cultures of larval central nervous system (CNS), a temperature-sensitive defect is also expressed in shits1 neurons: at 30 degrees C, growth cone formation is retarded and neurite outgrowth is arrested. We now report that we have examined constitutive endocytosis in Drosophila CNS culture and have demonstrated directly an endocytic defect in shits1 neurons. At the permissive temperature, 20-22 degrees C, both shits1 and wild-type neurons actively endocytosed fluorescein-labelled dextran (40 KD, 5%) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP, 1%). Within 5 min, HRP was seen in vesicles, cup-shaped bodies, tubules and multivesicular bodies in neurites and cell bodies. In contrast, endocytosis was inhibited in cultures derived from the temperature-sensitive paralytic shits1 by a 15 min heat pulse (30 degrees C). Even after 30 min of HRP exposure at 30 degrees C, HRP-containing membranes were absent from almost all shits1 neurites; a minority of cell bodies had a few HRP-containing vesicles. The temperature-dependent block in endocytosis was readily reversed at 20 degrees C. Interestingly, the block was overcome by high concentration of external cations: shits1 neurons in culture actively took up HRP in numerous vesicles at 30 degrees C if 18 mM Ca2+ or Mg2+ was added to the medium. Our results support the notion that membrane recycling plays a critical role in regulating neurite outgrowth. This study also provides baseline information for further mutational analysis of the mechanism underlying the membrane cycling process in cultured neurons.

Abstract
The garland cell of Drosophila is a nephrocyte which takes up waste products from the haemolymph. Endocytosis is thought to occur by the pinch-off of coated vesicles from deep invaginations of the plasma membrane called labyrinthine channels. Electron microscopic studies show that the length of these channels is variable, depending on the relative rates of membrane pinch-off and reinsertion (recycling). Thus, in wild-type garland cells, if the temperature is raised from 19 degrees C to 30 degrees C, the channels shorten, because at high temperature the pinch-off rate exceeds the reinsertion rate. On the other hand, in garland cells of the temperature-sensitive, single-gene mutant shibirets1 (shi), in which endocytosis is reversibly blocked at the pinch-off stage at 30 degrees C, the labyrinthine channels elongate considerably, as membrane insertion proceeds while pinch-off is blocked. The rates of membrane pinch-off and insertion were quantitated in living garland cells by observing the changes in the capacitance of the whole cell membrane which occur as a result of changes in the total area of the plasma membrane. In wild-type cells, the capacitance gradually decreased as the temperature was raised to 30 degrees C, reflecting the shortening of the channels. In shi cells, the capacitance decreased between 19 degrees C and 26 degrees C but then began to increase at higher temperatures as the blockage of endocytosis caused by the shi gene took effect, causing the channels to elongate. The observations suggest that in shi cells the surface area of the cell more than doubles in 12 min by channel elongation. Estimates of the amount of membrane which is pinched off and reinserted were made.
