Growth hormone and epidermal growth factor in salivary glands of giant and dwarf transgenic mice

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) in rat salivary glands is regulated by testosterone, thyroxin, and growth hormone (GH). Salivary glands of 45-day-old giant and dwarf male and female transgenic mice were examined histologically and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for EGF. Male giants showed no significant differences from wild-type (WT) parotid and submandibular glands. However, their sublingual glands expressed EGF diffusely and strongly in granular cells within the striated ducts, where they were not found in WT mice. Submandibular gland ducts of female WT were different, having individual granular cells strongly positive for EGF and distributed sporadically along the striated duct walls. Neither female GH-antagonist dwarf mice nor GH-receptor knockout mice had any granular cells expressing EGF in any gland. Obvious presence of granular duct cells in the sublingual glands of giant male mice suggests GH-upregulated granular cell EGF expression. Furthermore, absence of granular duct cells from all glands in female GH-antagonist and GH-receptor knockout transgenic mice suggests that GH is necessary for the differentiation of the granular cell phenotype in female salivary glands.

Etr1-1 gene expression alters regeneration patterns in transgenic lettuce stimulating root formation

We have evaluated the transformation efficiency of two lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) cultivars, LE126 and Seagreen, using Agrobacterium tumefaciens- mediated gene transfer. Six- day- old cotyledons were co- cultivated with Agrobacterium cultures carrying binary vectors with two different genetic constructs. The first construct contained the beta- glucuronidase gene ( GUS) under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter ( CaMV 35S), while the second construct contained the ethylene mutant receptor etr1- 1, which confers ethylene insensitivity, under the control of a leaf senescence- specific promoter ( sag12). Tissues co- cultivated with the GUS construct showed strong regeneration potential with over 90% of explants developing callus masses and 85% of the calli developing shoots. Histochemical GUS assays showed that 85.7% of the plants recovered were transgenic. Very different results were observed when cotyledon explants were co- cultivated with Agrobacteria carrying the etr1- 1 gene. There was a dramatic effect on the regeneration properties of the cultured explants with root formation taking place directly from the cotyledon tissue in 34% of the explants and no callus or shoots observed initially. Eventually callus formed in 10% of cotyledons and some organogenic shoots were obtained ( 2.86%). These results indicate that the ethylene insensitivity conferred by the etr1- 1 gene alters the normal pattern of regeneration in lettuce cotyledons, inhibiting the formation of shoots and stimulating root formation during regeneration.
