CA Investigators Multictr Study Hydro TI Hydroxyurea and Acute Painful Crises in Sickle Cell Anemia: Effects on Hospital Length of Stay and Opioid Utilization During Hospitalization, Outpatient Acute Care Contacts, and at Home SO JOURNAL OF PAIN AND SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT LA English DT Article DE Sickle cell anemia; hydroxyurea; painful crisis; opioid utilization; hospitalization ID ACUTE CHEST SYNDROME; HEALTH-CARE; VASOOCCLUSIVE CRISES; DISEASE; ADULTS; MEPERIDINE; FREQUENCY; QUALITY; COST; READMISSION AB Context. Exploratory findings from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of hydroxyurea (MSH) in sickle cell anemia (SS). Recurrent acute painful crises may be mild, moderate, or severe in nature and often require treatment at home, in acute care facilities as outpatients, and in the hospital with oral and/or parenteral opioids. Objectives. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of hydroxyurea (HU) on length of stay (LOS) in hospital and opioid utilization during hospitalization, outpatient acute care contacts, and at home. Methods. Data from patient diaries, follow-up visit forms, and medical contact forms for the 299 patients enrolled in the MSH were analyzed. Types and dosages of at home, acute care, and in-hospital analgesic usage were explored descriptively. Results. At-home analgesics were used on 40% of diary days and 80% of two-week follow-up periods, with oxycodone and codeine the most frequently used. Responders to HU used analgesics on fewer days. During hospitalization, 96% were treated with parenteral opioids, with meperidine the most frequently used; oxycodone was the most commonly used oral medication. The average LOS for responders to HU was about two days less than for other groups, and their cumulative time hospitalized during the trial was significantly less than for nonresponders or placebo groups (P < 0.022). They also had the lowest doses of parenteral opioids during acute care crises (P = 0.015). Conclusion. Beneficial effects of HU include shortening the duration of hospitalization because of acute painful episodes and reducing the net amount of opioid utilization. J Pain Symptom Manage 2010;40:870-882.

TI A Strategy To Advance the Evidence Base in Palliative Medicine: Formation of a Palliative Care Research Cooperative Group SO JOURNAL OF PALLIATIVE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID CONTROLLED-TRIAL; CLINICAL-TRIALS; STATIN THERAPY; CANCER; POPULATION; ATORVASTATIN; PREVALENCE; PREVENTION; RISK; PAIN AB Background: Palliative medicine has made rapid progress in establishing its scientific and clinical legitimacy, yet the evidence base to support clinical practice remains deficient in both the quantity and quality of published studies. Historically, the conduct of research in palliative care populations has been impeded by multiple barriers including health care system fragmentation, small number and size of potential sites for recruitment, vulnerability of the population, perceptions of inappropriateness, ethical concerns, and gate-keeping. Methods: A group of experienced investigators with backgrounds in palliative care research convened to consider developing a research cooperative group as a mechanism for generating high-quality evidence on prioritized, clinically relevant topics in palliative care. Results: The resulting Palliative Care Research Cooperative (PCRC) agreed on a set of core principles: active, interdisciplinary membership; commitment to shared research purposes; heterogeneity of participating sites; development of research capacity in participating sites; standardization of methodologies, such as consenting and data collection/management; agile response to research requests from government, industry, and investigators; focus on translation; education and training of future palliative care researchers; actionable results that can inform clinical practice and policy. Consensus was achieved on a first collaborative study, a randomized clinical trial of statin discontinuation versus continuation in patients with a prognosis of less than 6 months who are taking statins for primary or secondary prevention. This article describes the formation of the PCRC, highlighting processes and decisions taken to optimize the cooperative group's success. C1 [Abernethy, Amy P.; Wheeler, Jane L.; Zafar, S.

As an alternative to the largely unsuccessful search for individual polymorphisms associated with personality traits, the authors identified large sets of potentially related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and summed them to form molecular personality scales (MPSs) with from 4 to 2,497 SNPs. Scales were derived from two thirds of a large (N = 3,972) sample of individuals from Sardinia who completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (P. T. Costa, Jr., & R. R. McCrae, 1992) and were assessed in a genomewide association scan. When MPSs were correlated with the phenotype in the remaining one third of the sample, very small but significant associations were found for 4 of the 5e personality factors when the longest scales were examined. These data suggest that MPSs for Neuroticism, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness (but not Extraversion) contain genetic information that can be refined in future studies, and the procedures described here should be applicable to other quantitative traits.

The present study aimed at developing a novel and fast liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for the bioanalysis of p28 in mouse serum, and determining Azurin p28 stability and pharmacokinetics in mice after full method validation. Both Azurin p28 and its internal standard MP-1 were separated and extracted from serum by using perchloric acid (7%, v/v) without time-consuming reconstitution. Chromatographic separation of Azurin p28 and MP-1 from the serum matrix was achieved using a C18 column with a gradient elution profile consisting of 5 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile, both containing formic acid. Mass analysis was conducted using positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). It took 7.5 min to analyze one sample. The validated concentration range of the method extended from 100 to 10,000 ng/ml with accuracies of 85-115% and inter-day precision (CV) of <15%. Inter-day accuracy ranged from 96.4% to 103% and CV ranged from 4.61% to 6.90%. The average recovery of Azurin p28 from mouse serum at three concentrations (200, 1000, and 5000 ng/ml) was determined to be 96.4%. Incubation of Azurin p28 at 37 degrees C for 24 h resulted in its degradation 55% in monkey serum, 41% in human serum, and 32-34% in mouse and dog serum. Intravenous administration of Azurin p28 to mice showed its t(1/2 beta) 0.23 h, clearance 1.7 l/kg/h, and volume of distribution at steady state 4.1 l/kg. In conclusion, the novel and fast bioanalytical method was proven to be useful for pharmacokinetic profiling of Azurin p28. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Dexamethasone Enhances ATP-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Endothelial Cells SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID MESSENGER-RNA EXPRESSION; NUCLEOTIDE RECEPTOR; ADENOSINE-TRIPHOSPHATE; SIGNALING MOLECULES; INHIBITION; DISEASE; GAMMA; SHOCK; LINE; GLUCOCORTICOIDS AB The purinergic nucleotide ATP is released from stressed cells and is implicated in vascular inflammation. Glucocorticoids are essential to stress responses and are used therapeutically, yet little information is available that describes the effects of glucocorticoids on ATP-induced inflammation. In a human microvascular endothelial cell line, extracellular ATP-induced interleukin (IL)-6 secretion in a dose-and time-dependent manner. When cells were pretreated with dexamethasone, a prototypic glucocorticoid, ATP-induced IL-6 production was enhanced in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Mifepristone, a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist, blocked these effects. ATP-induced IL-6 release was significantly inhibited by a phospholipase C inhibitor [1-[6-[((17 beta)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5[10]-trien-17-yl)amino]hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122)] (63.2 +/- 3%, p < 0.001) and abolished by a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor [4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-imidazole (SB 203580)] (88 +/- 1%, p < 0.001). Cells treated with dexamethasone induced mRNA expression of the purinergic P2Y(2) receptor (P2Y(2)R) 1.8- +/- 0.1-fold and, when stimulated with ATP, enhanced Ca2+ release and augmented IL-6 mRNA expression. Silencing of the P2Y(2)R by its small interfering RNA decreased ATP-induced IL-6 production by 81 +/- 1% (p < 0.001). Dexamethasone enhanced the transcription rate of P2Y(2)R mRNA and induced a dose-related increase in the activity of the P2Y(2)R promoter. Furthermore, dexamethasone-enhanced ATP induction of adhesion molecule transcription and augmented the release of IL-8. Dexamethasone leads to an unanticipated enhancement of endothelial inflammatory mediator production by extracellular ATP via a P2Y(2)R-dependent mechanism. These data define a novel positive feedback loop of glucocorticoids and ATP-induced endothelial inflammation.

TI Dopamine Transporter-Dependent and -Independent Striatal Binding of the Benztropine Analog JHW 007, a Cocaine Antagonist with Low Abuse Liability SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID UPTAKE INHIBITORS COCAINE; GUINEA-PIG; HISTAMINE H1-RECEPTORS; RECOGNITION SITES; BRAIN MEMBRANES; RAT; RECEPTORS; IDENTIFICATION; CONFORMATION; MAZINDOL AB The benztropine analog N-(n-butyl)-3 alpha-[bis(4'-fluorophenyl)methoxy]-tropane (JHW 007) displays high affinity for the dopamine transporter (DAT), but unlike typical DAT ligands, has relatively low abuse liability and blocks the effects of cocaine, including its self-administration. To determine sites responsible for the cocaine antagonist effects of JHW 007, its in vitro binding was compared with that of methyl (1R,2S,3S,5S)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate (WIN 35428) in rats, mice, and human DAT (hDAT)-transfected cells. A one-site model, with K(d) values of 4.21 (rat) and 8.99 nM (mouse) best fit the [(3)H]WIN 35428 data. [3H] JHW 007 binding best fit a two-site model (rat, 7.40/4400 nM; mouse, 8.18/2750 nM), although a one-site fit was observed with hDAT membranes (43.7 nM). Drugs selective for the norepinephrine and serotonin transporters had relatively low affinity in competition with [(3)H]JHW 007 binding, as did drugs selective for other sites identified previously as potential JHW 007 binding sites. The association of [(3)H]WIN 35428 best fit a one-phase model, whereas the association of [(3)H]JHW 007 best fit a two-phase model in all tissues. Because cocaine antagonist effects of JHW 007 have been observed previously soon after injection, its rapid association observed here may contribute to those effects. Multiple [(3)H]JHW 007 binding sites were obtained in tissue from mice lacking the DAT, suggesting these as yet unidentified sites as potential contributors to the cocaine antagonist effects of JHW 007. Unlike WIN 35428, the binding of JHW 007 was Na(+)-independent. This feature of JHW 007 has been linked to the conformational status of the DAT, which in turn may contribute to the antagonism of cocaine.

TI Interaction of 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C Receptors in R(-)-2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine-Elicited Head Twitch Behavior in Mice SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID HALLUCINOGEN-LIKE ACTIONS; RATS; AGONISTS; 5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE; ANTAGONISTS; DRUGS; SUBTYPES; SUPERSENSITIVITY; PIRENPERONE; MODULATION AB Drug-elicited head-twitch behavior is a useful model for studying hallucinogen activity at 5-HT2A receptors in the mouse. Chemically diverse compounds active in this assay yield biphasic dose-effect curves, but there is no compelling explanation for the "descending" portion of these functions. A set of experiments was designed to test the hypothesis that the induction of head-twitch behavior is mediated by agonist actions at 5-HT2A receptors, whereas the inhibition of head-twitch behavior observed at higher doses results from competing agonist activity at 5-HT2C receptors. The effects of the phenethylamine hallucinogen R(-)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) on head-twitch behavior were studied over a range of doses in the mouse, generating a characteristic biphasic dose-response curve. Pretreatment with the selective 5-HT2A antagonist (+)-(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[2-(4-fluorophenylethyl)]-4-piperidine-methanol (M100907) shifted only the ascending limb of the DOI dose-effect function, whereas pretreatment with the nonselective 5-HT2A/2C antagonist 3-{2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]ethyl}quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (ketanserin) produced a parallel shift to the right in the DOI dose-response curve. Administration of the 5-HT2C agonist S-2-(chloro-5-fluoro-in-dol-L-yl)-1-methylethylamine (Ro 60-0175) noncompetitively inhibited DOI-elicited head-twitch behavior across the entire dose-effect function. Finally, pretreatment with the selective 5-HT2C antagonists 6-chloro-5-methyl-1-[(2-[2-methylpyrid-3-yloxy]pyrid-5yl)carbamoyl]indoline (SB242084) or 8-[5-(2,4-dimethoxy-5-(4-trifluoromethylphenylsulfonamido)phenyl-5-oxopentyl]-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4,5]decane-2,4-dione hydrochloride (RS 102221) did not alter DOI-elicited head-twitch behavior on the ascending limb of the dose-response curve but shifted the descending limb of the DOI dose-response function to the right. The results of these experiments provide strong evidence that DOI-elicited head-twitch behavior is a 5-HT2A agonist-mediated effect, with subsequent inhibition of head-twitch behavior being driven by competing 5-HT2C agonist activity.

The Web 2.0 paradigm, in which users contribute numerous ideas that may lead to new products, requires new methods of screening those ideas for their marketability, and preference markets offer just such a mechanism. For faster new product development decisions, a flexible prioritization methodology is implemented for product features and concepts, one that scales up in the number of testable alternatives, limited only by the number of participants. New product preferences for concepts, attributes, and attribute levels are measured by trading stocks whose prices are based upon share of choice of new products and features. A conceptual model of scalable preference markets is developed and tested experimentally. Benefits of the methodology are found to include speed (less than one hour per trading experiment), scalability (question capacity grows linearly in the number of traders), flexibility (features and concepts can be tested simultaneously), and respondent enthusiasm for the method.

The current study is the first to examine comorbidity of PTSD and BPD in a large nationally representative sample using a reliable and valid method of assessing Axis I and II mental disorders. Data came from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) Wave II (N = 34,653; response rate 70.2%). Multiple regression models were used to examine differences in psychopathology, traumatic events and health-related quality of life across individuals with PTSD alone (n = 1820), BPD alone (n = 1290) and those with comorbid PTSD-BPD (n = 643). The lifetime prevalence of PTSD and BPD were 6.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Of individuals with BPD, 30.2% were also diagnosed with PTSD, whereas 24.2% of individuals with PTSD were also diagnosed with BPD. Individuals with comorbid PTSD-BPD had a poorer quality of life, more comorbidity with other Axis I conditions, increased odds of a lifetime suicide attempt, and a higher prevalence of repeated childhood traumatic events than individuals with either condition alone. These results show that PTSD and BPD have a high degree of lifetime co-occurrence but are not entirely overlapping. Their concurrence is associated with poorer functioning compared to either diagnosis alone, emphasizing the clinical utility of diagnosing both conditions. Future research should explore the determinants of having either or both diagnoses with an aim toward improved identification, prevention, and intervention. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

However, few studies have used animated facial stimuli or explored sensitivity to facial expressions in depressed individuals. Moreover, limited research is available on facial processing in unipolar versus bipolar depression. In this study, 34 patients with DSM-IV major depressive disorder (MDD), 21 patients with DSM-IV bipolar disorder (BPD) in the depressed phase, and 24 never-depressed controls completed the Emotional Expression Multimorph Task, which presents facial emotions in gradations from neutral to 100% emotional expression (happy, sad, surprised, fearful, angry, and disgusted). Groups were compared in terms of sensitivity and accuracy in identifying emotions. Our preliminary findings suggest that subjects with bipolar depression may have emotional processing abnormalities relative to controls. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Characterizing the impact of pediatric bipolar disorder on cognitive function might aid in understanding the phenomenology of the disorder. While previous studies of pediatric bipolar disorder have reported deficits in cognitive control and reward behavior, little is understood about how affective processes influence behavioral control. Relative to prior studies using manual-response paradigms, eye movement tasks provide a more precise assessment of reward sensitivity and cognitive and motor control. The current study compares 20 youths with bipolar disorder (mean age = 13.9 years +/- 2.22) and 23 healthy subjects (mean age = 13.8 years +/- 2.49) on a mixed pro-antisaccade task with monetary incentives. On both types of saccades, participants were presented with three types of incentives: those where subjects can win money, lose money, or neither win nor lose money. Impaired reward processing was found in youths with bipolar disorder relative to controls, particularly on antisaccades. This difference was reflected in lower error rates during incentive trials in the control but not in the bipolar disorder group. By comparison, no group differences were found on prosaccade trials. The results provide further evidence for deficits in cognitive and reward processing in bipolar disorder.

Economic conditions dictate that as the mobile units age it will be harder to find donors willing or able to provide the financial resources for asset replacement. In order to maintain current levels of access for the underserved, consideration of replacement is paramount. A financial analysis for a new mobile unit was conducted to determine self-sustainability, return on investment (ROI), and feasibility of generating a cash reserve for its replacement in 12 years. Methods: Information on clinical income, operational and replacement costs, and capital costs was collected. A capital budgeting analysis (CBA) was conducted using the Net Present Value (NPV) methodology in four different scenarios. Depreciation funding was calculated by transferring funds from cash inflows and reinvested to offset depreciation at fixed compound interest. Results: A positive ROI was obtained for two scenarios. He depreciation fund did not generate a cash reserve sufficient to replace the mobile unit. Conclusions: Mobile dental programs can play a vital role in providing access to care to underserved populations and ensuring their mission requires long-term planning. Careful financial viability and CBA based on sound assumptions are excellent decision-making tools. C1 [Arevalo, Oscar] Univ Puerto Rico, Sch Dent Med, San Juan, PR 00936 USA.

TI On the roles of Mg in the activation of G proteins SO JOURNAL OF RECEPTORS AND SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION LA English DT Review DE Octahedral coordination shell; regulatory GTPase; GTPase fold; transition state ID SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION; CYCLASE AB In this review, we highlight the evolution of our knowledge about the way Mg(2+) participates in the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins, beginning with its requirement in hormonal stimulation of fat cell adenylyl cyclase (1969) and ending with knowledge that incorporates information obtained from site directed mutagenesis and examination of the crystal structures of G proteins (2010). Our current view is that, as it seeks to fill its octahedral coordination shell, Mg acts as a keystone locking the G protein-alpha subunits into a conformation in which G alpha dissociates from the G beta gamma dimer, is competent in regulating effectors, and acquires GTPase activity. The latter is the result of moving the backbone carbonyl group of the Mg-coordinating threonine into a location in space that positions the hydrolytic water so as to facilitate the water's nucleophilic attack that leads to hydrolysis of the link between the beta and gamma phosphates of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). The role of the backbone carbonyl group of the Mg-coordinating threonine is equi-hierarchical with a similar and long-recognized role of the Switch II glutamine delta amide carbonyl group. Disruption of either leads to loss of GTPase activity. C1 [Birnbaumer, Lutz; Zurita, Adolfo R.] NIEHS, Neurobiol Lab, NIH, DHHS, Res Triangle Pk, NC 27709 USA.

Since then, overall AMI care quality has improved. This study uses more recent data to determine whether rural-urban AMI quality gaps have persisted. Methods: Using inpatient records data for 34,776 Medicare beneficiaries with AMI from 2000-2001, unadjusted and logistic regression analysis compared receipt of 5 recommended treatments between admissions to urban, large rural, small rural, and isolated small rural hospitals as defined by Rural Urban Commuting Area codes. Results: Substantial proportions of hospital admissions in all areas did not receive guideline-recommended treatments (eg, 17.0% to 23.6% without aspirin within 24 hours of admission, 30.8% to 46.6% without beta-blockers at arrival/discharge). Admissions to small rural and isolated small rural hospitals were least likely to receive most treatments (eg, 69.2% urban, 68.3% large rural, 59.9% small rural, 53.4% isolated small rural received discharge beta-blocker prescriptions). Adjusted analyses found no treatment differences between admissions to large rural and urban area hospitals, but admissions to small rural and isolated small rural hospitals had lower rates of discharge prescriptions such as aspirin and beta-blockers than urban hospital admissions. Conclusions: Many simple guidelines that improve AMI outcomes are inadequately implemented, regardless of geographic location. In small rural and isolated small rural hospitals, addressing barriers to prescription of beneficial discharge medications is particularly important. The best quality improvement practices should be identified and translated to the broadest range of institutions and providers. C1 [Baldwin, Laura-Mae; Andrilla, C.

TI The bridge-region of the Ku superfamily is an atypical zinc ribbon domain SO JOURNAL OF STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE NHEJ; Zinc finger; Zinc ribbon; Protein flexibility; Segment-swapping ID DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS; NONHOMOLOGOUS END; DNA-END; STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION; BINDING DOMAIN; PSI-BLAST; PROTEIN; DATABASE; REPAIR; MOTIF AB Members of the Ku superfamily are DNA-end-binding proteins involved in non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair. The published crystal structure of human Ku-DNA complex reveals a heterodimer that forms a ring around dsDNA by means of the Ku core modules. These modules contain a highly conserved seven-stranded beta-barrel, which in turn contains an insertion, termed the bridge-region, between its second and third beta-strands. The bridge-region adopts an unusual beta-strand-rich structure critical for dsDNA-binding and Ku function, but its provenance remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the bridge-region of Ku is a novel member of the diverse Zn-ribbon fold group. Sequence analysis reveals that Ku from several Gram-positive bacteria and bacteriophages retain metal-chelating motifs, whereas they have been lost in the versions from most other organisms. Structural comparisons suggest that the Zn-ribbon from Ku-bridge-region is the first example of a circularly permuted, segment-swapped Zn-ribbon. This finding helps explain how Ku is likely to bind DNA as an obligate dimer. Further, we hypothesize that retention of the unusual conformation of the turns of the Zn-ribbons, despite loss of the Zn-binding sites, provides clues regarding the mechanism by which the Ku-bridge-regions sense the DNA state.

DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of NIA's grant portfolio. SETTING NIA. PARTICIPANTS NIA grantees. MEASUREMENTS NIA's grant portfolio was queried for the period 1999 to 2008 using a variety of search terms related to MOCs. Inclusion criteria were adherence to guiding principles for MOCs (comprehensive care, efficient care, older person as an active partner) or focus on innovative feature(s) of MOCs (interdisciplinary care, care management, chronic disease self-management, pharmaceutical management, preventive home visits, proactive rehabilitation, transitional care). Exclusion criteria were lack of focus on an intervention and focus on informal caregivers. Expert NIA staff reviewed and validated projects. RESULTS One hundred thirty-five grants were identified. These grants represent fewer than 1% of the approximate number of grants NIA has funded over this same period of time (similar to 24,000 grants). Forty-four percent focused on components of comprehensive care and 34% on active involvement of older adults. Approximately half specifically focused on innovative features of MOCs, ranging from chronic disease self-management (32%) and proactive rehabilitation (26%) to preventive home visits (1%) and transitional care (1%). The majority of projects were investigator-initiated grants (46%). CONCLUSION NIA has supported the development of many interventions that include components of MOCs related to recommendations from the IOM report. The challenge for the future will be determining which of the many components of comprehensive care systems are most effective for which subsets of the elderly population and assessing opportunities for enhanced collaboration between public and private aging research stakeholders.

We examined whether malnutrition or inflammation (M-I) modifies the risk relationship between cholesterol levels and CVD events in African Americans with hypertensive CKD and a GFR between 20 and 65 ml/min per 1.73 m(2). We stratified 990 participants by the presence or absence of M-I, defined as body mass index <23 kg/m(2) or C-reactive protein >10 mg/L at baseline. The primary composite outcome included cardiovascular death or first hospitalization for coronary artery disease, stroke, or congestive heart failure occurring during a median follow-up of 77 months. Baseline total cholesterol (212 +/- 48 versus 212 +/- 44 mg/dl) and overall incidence of the primary CVD outcome (19 versus 21%) were similar in participants with (n = 304) and without (n = 686) M-I. In adjusted analyses, the CVD composite outcome exhibited a significantly stronger relationship with total cholesterol for participants without M-I than for participants with M-I at baseline (P < 0.02). In the non M-I group, the cholesterol-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for CVD increased progressively across cholesterol levels: HR = 1.19 [95% CI; 0.77, 1.84] and 2.18 [1.43, 3.33] in participants with cholesterol 200 to 239 and >= 240 mg/dl, respectively (reference: cholesterol <200). In the M-I group, the corresponding HRs did not vary significantly by cholesterol level. In conclusion, the presence of M-I modifies the risk relationship between cholesterol level and CVD in African Americans with hypertensive CKD.

TI A Multi-Marker Approach to Predict Incident CKD and Microalbuminuria SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF NEPHROLOGY LA English DT Article ID CHRONIC KIDNEY-DISEASE; GLOMERULAR-FILTRATION-RATE; RISK-ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES; BRAIN NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE; CORONARY-HEART-DISEASE; SERUM CYSTATIN-C; CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOMES; RENAL-INSUFFICIENCY; VULNERABLE PATIENT; HYPERTENSIVE-RATS AB Traditional risk factors do not adequately identify individuals at risk for CKD. We related a multi-marker panel consisting of the following seven circulating biomarkers to the incidence of CKD and microalbuminuria (MA) in 2345 participants who attended the sixth Framingham Offspring Study examination (1995 to 1998): C-reactive protein, aldosterone, renin, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), plasminogen-activator inhibitor type 1, fibrinogen, and homocysteine. We defined CKD at follow-up (2005 to 2008) as estimated GFR (eGFR) <60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2); we defined MA as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 25 (women) or 17 (men) mg/g on spot urine samples. We identified a parsimonious set of markers related to outcomes adjusting for standard risk factors and baseline renal function, and we assessed their incremental predictive utility. During a mean 9.5-year follow-up, 213 participants developed CKD and 186 developed MA. In multivariable logistic regression models, the multi-marker panel was associated with incident CKD (P < 0.001) and MA (P = 0.003). Serum homocysteine and aldosterone both were significantly associated with CKD incidence, and log-transformed aldosterone, BNP, and homocysteine were significantly associated with incident MA. Biomarkers improved risk prediction as measured by improvements in the c-statistics for both CKD and MA and by a 7% increase in net risk reclassification. In conclusion, circulating homocysteine, aldosterone, and BNP provide incremental information regarding risk for incident CKD and MA beyond traditional risk factors.

TI Designing a Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate Personalized Medicine: A New Approach Based on Risk Prediction SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Editorial Material ID ADAPTIVE SIGNATURE DESIGN; CANCER AB We define personalized medicine as the administration of treatment to only persons thought most likely to benefit, typically those at high risk for mortality or another detrimental outcome. To evaluate personalized medicine, we propose a new design for a randomized trial that makes efficient use of high-throughput data (such as gene expression microarrays) and clinical data (such as tumor stage) collected at baseline from all participants. Under this design for a randomized trial involving experimental and control arms with a survival outcome, investigators first estimate the risk of mortality in the control arm based on the high-throughput and clinical data. Then investigators use data from both randomization arms to estimate both the effect of treatment among all participants and among participants in the highest prespecified category of risk. This design requires only an 18.1% increase in sample size compared with a standard randomized trial. A trial based on this design that has a 90% power to detect a realistic increase in survival from 70% to 80% among all participants, would also have a 90% power to detect an increase in survival from 50% to 73% in the highest quintile of risk.

TI Comparative Effectiveness of Prostate Cancer Treatments: Evaluating Statistical Adjustments for Confounding in Observational Data SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY; INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE METHODS; HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY; PROPENSITY SCORE; RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY; BREAST-CANCER; MEDICARE CLAIMS; SELF-SELECTION; LUNG-CANCER; MEN AB Background Using observational data to assess the relative effectiveness of alternative cancer treatments is limited by patient selection into treatment, which often biases interpretation of outcomes. We evaluated methods for addressing confounding in treatment and survival of patients with early-stage prostate cancer in observational data and compared findings with those from a benchmark randomized clinical trial. Methods We selected 14 302 early-stage prostate cancer patients who were aged 66-74 years and had been treated with radical prostatectomy or conservative management from linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare data from January 1, 1995, through December 31, 2003. Eligibility criteria were similar to those from a clinical trial used to benchmark our analyses. Survival was measured through December 31, 2007, by use of Cox proportional hazards models. We compared results from the benchmark trial with results from models with observational data by use of traditional multivariable survival analysis, propensity score adjustment, and instrumental variable analysis. Results Prostate cancer patients receiving conservative management were more likely to be older, nonwhite, and single and to have more advanced disease than patients receiving radical prostatectomy. In a multivariable survival analysis, conservative management was associated with greater risk of prostate cancer-specific mortality ( hazard ratio [HR] = 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.27 to 2.00) and all-cause mortality ( HR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.35 to 1.59) than radical prostatectomy. Propensity score adjustments resulted in similar patient characteristics across treatment groups, although survival results were similar to traditional multivariable survival analyses. Results for the same comparison from the instrumental variable approach, which theoretically equalizes both observed and unobserved patient characteristics across treatment groups, differed from the traditional multivariable and propensity score results but were consistent with findings from the subset of elderly patient with early-stage disease in the trial (ie, conservative management vs radical prostatectomy: for prostate cancer-specific mortality, HR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.08 to 6.73; for all-cause mortality, HR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.46 to 2.59). Conclusion Instrumental variable analysis may be a useful technique in comparative effectiveness studies of cancer treatments if an acceptable instrument can be identified.

TI Chlamydia trachomatis and Risk of Prevalent and Incident Cervical Premalignancy in a Population-Based Cohort SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID HUMAN-PAPILLOMAVIRUS INFECTION; SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; NESTED CASE-CONTROL; COSTA-RICA; INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA; HPV INFECTION; 10000 WOMEN; CANCER; DNA; SEROPREVALENCE AB Background Cofactors might affect the risk of the rare progression from infection with carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) to cervical premalignancy to invasive cancer. Some studies have observed that Chlamydia trachomatis infection is associated with increased risk for cervical cancer. In a large prospective cohort, we assessed the role of C trachomatis in cervical premalignancy and addressed confounding by HPV. Methods We identified 182 women with prevalent and 132 women with incident histological cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2), grade 3 (CIN3), or cervical cancer (CIN2+) in the Costa Rica HPV Natural History Study. Control subjects were 995 (approximately 10% of the 10 049) subjects who were randomly selected from the same study. Cervical HPV status at enrollment was determined by MY09/MY11 polymerase chain reaction amplification and dot-blot hybridization. The presence of C trachomatis DNA in cervical exfoliated cells at enrollment was determined by a novel serovar-specific polymerase chain reaction-based C trachomatis detection and genotyping assay. Plasma drawn at enrollment from each subject was used to determine C trachomatis immunoglobulin G (IgG) status. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between C trachomatis and CIN2+, taking into account possible confounding by HPV. Results C trachomatis positivity at enrollment was associated with CIN2+ and concurrent and subsequent carcinogenic HPV infection. To account for confounding by HPV status, we restricted the analysis to women positive for carcinogenic HPV DNA at enrollment and found no association between C trachomatis status (as assessed by DNA or IgG) at enrollment and combined prevalent and/or incident CIN2+ (for C trachomatis DNA positivity, odds ratio = 0.77, 95% confidence interval = 0.42 to 1.41; for C trachomatis seropositivity, odds ratio = 1.09, 95% confidence interval = 0.85 to 1.41). Conclusions We found no association between C trachomatis status, as assessed by DNA or IgG, and risk of cervical premalignancy, after controlling for carcinogenic HPV-positive status. Previous positive associations between C trachomatis and cervical premalignancy could have been caused, in part, by an increased susceptibility to HPV infection.

TI Chemoprevention of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer With Celecoxib: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; NONSTEROIDAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS; FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS; REGULAR SUNSCREEN USE; LOW-FAT DIET; BASAL-CELL; SOLAR KERATOSES; CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITOR; XERODERMA-PIGMENTOSUM; COLORECTAL ADENOMAS AB Background Preclinical studies indicate that the enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 plays an important role in ultraviolet-induced skin cancers. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, as a chemopreventive agent for actinic keratoses, the premalignant precursor of nonmelanoma skin cancers, and for nonmelanoma skin cancers, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Methods A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial involving 240 subjects aged 37-87 years with 10-40 actinic keratoses was conducted at eight US academic medical centers. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 200 mg of celecoxib or placebo administered orally twice daily for 9 months. Subjects were evaluated at 3, 6, 9 (ie, completion of treatment), and 11 months after randomization. The primary endpoint was the number of new actinic keratoses at the 9-month visit as a percentage of the number at the time of randomization. In an intent-to-treat analysis, the incidence of actinic keratoses was compared between the two groups using t tests. In exploratory analyses, we evaluated the number of nonmelanoma skin cancers combined and SCCs and BCCs separately per patient at 11 months after randomization using Poisson regression, after adjustment for patient characteristics and time on study. The numbers of adverse events in the two treatment arms were compared using chi(2) or Fisher exact tests. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results There was no difference in the incidence of actinic keratoses between the two groups at 9 months after randomization. However, at 11 months after randomization, there were fewer nonmelanoma skin cancers in the celecoxib arm than in the placebo arm (mean cumulative tumor number per patient 0.14 vs 0.35; rate ratio [RR] = .43, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.24 to 0.75; P = .003). After adjusting for age, sex, Fitzpatrick skin type, history of actinic keratosis at randomization, nonmelanoma skin cancer history, and patient time on study, the number of nonmelanoma skin cancers was lower in the celecoxib arm than in the placebo arm (RR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.23 to 0.72, P = .002) as were the numbers of BCCs (RR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.18 to 0.93, P = .032) and SCCs (RR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.19 to 0.93, P = .032). Serious and cardiovascular adverse events were similar in the two groups. Conclusions Celecoxib may be effective for prevention of SCCs and BCCs in individuals who have extensive actinic damage and are at high risk for development of nonmelanoma skin cancers.

Methods: Data from all live births with morphologic single right ventricle and systemic outflow obstruction screened for the Pediatric Heart Network's Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial were used to investigate prenatal diagnosis and preoperative risk factors. Demographics, gestational age, prenatal diagnosis status, presence of major extracardiac congenital abnormalities, and preoperative mortality rates were recorded. Results: Of 906 infants, 677 (75%) had prenatal diagnosis, 15% were preterm (<37 weeks' gestation), and 16% were low birth weight (<2500 g). Rates of prenatal diagnosis varied by study site (59% to 85%, P < .0001). Major extracardiac congenital abnormalities were less prevalent in those born after prenatal diagnosis (6% vs 10%, P = .03). There were 26 (3%) deaths before Norwood palliation; preoperative mortality did not differ by prenatal diagnosis status (P = .49). In multiple logistic regression models, preterm birth (P = .02), major extracardiac congenital abnormalities (P < .0001), and obstructed pulmonary venous return (P = .02) were independently associated with preoperative mortality. Conclusions: Prenatal diagnosis occurred in 75%. Preoperative death was independently associated with preterm birth, obstructed pulmonary venous return, and major extracardiac congenital abnormalities. Adjusted for gestational age and the presence of obstructed pulmonary venous return, the estimated odds of preoperative mortality were 10 times greater for subjects with a major extracardiac congenital abnormality.

TI Thoracic metastasectomy for adoptive immunotherapy of melanoma: A single-institution experience SO JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY LA English DT Article ID PULMONARY METASTATIC MELANOMA; PROGNOSTIC FACTORS; IMPROVED SURVIVAL; CELL THERAPY; LUNG-CANCER; RESECTION; INTERLEUKIN-2; CHEMOTHERAPY; REGRESSION; ANTIGEN-4 AB Objectives: Although refractory to chemotherapy, metastatic melanoma may respond to adoptive immunotherapy. As novel treatments evolve, surgeons may be asked to perform metastasectomy not only for palliation or potential cure but also for isolation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This study was undertaken to examine outcomes of patients with melanoma undergoing thoracic metastasectomy in preparation for investigational immunotherapy. Methods: A retrospective review identified 107 consecutive patients who underwent 116 thoracic metastasectomy procedures from April 1998 to July 2009. Indications for surgical intervention included procurement of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, rendering of patients to no evaluable disease status, palliation, and diagnosis. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria were used to assess tumor response. Results: Thoracotomy, lobectomy, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with nonanatomic resection were the most common procedures. Major complications included 1 death and 1 coagulopathy-induced hemothorax. Seventeen patients were rendered to no evaluable disease status. Virtually all patients with residual disease had tumor specimens cultured for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; approximately 70% of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte cultures exhibited antitumor reactivity. Of the 91 patients with residual or recurrent disease, 24 (26%) underwent adoptive cell transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, of whom 7 exhibited objective responses (29% response rate and 8% based on intent to treat). Rapid disease progression precluded tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy in most cases. Actuarial 1- and 5-year survival rates for patients rendered to no evaluable disease status or receiving or not receiving tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were 93% and 76%, 64% and 33%, and 43% and 0%, respectively. Conclusions: Relatively few patients currently having thoracic metastasectomy undergo adoptive cell transfer. Continued refinement of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte expansion protocols and improved patient selection might increase the number of patients with melanoma benefiting from these interventions.

Materials and Methods: The National Cancer Institute performed a population based case-control study in metropolitan Detroit and Chicago from 2002 through 2007. In 1,136 patients with renal cell carcinoma who consented to an epidemiological interview and medical record review we ascertained detailed information on social and medical history, methods of renal cell carcinoma detection and diagnosis, cancer severity and treatment(s) received. From these data we assessed the demographic and cancer specific characteristics of study cases, and trends in clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Results: Most patients with renal cell carcinoma had localized or regional tumors, including 52% with tumors 4 cm or less. The proportion of asymptomatic cases increased from 35% in 2002 to 50% in 2007 (p < 0.001). Hypertension and diabetes were common in patients (58% and 17%, respectively) and 24% had at least 2 significant comorbid conditions at cancer diagnosis. While the use of laparoscopic surgery increased with time (p < 0.001), fewer than 1/5 patients underwent nephron sparing surgery. Conclusions: The proportion of patients presenting with small, asymptomatic renal cell carcinoma continues to increase. Most of these cases are still treated with radical nephrectomy, although increasingly via a laparoscopic approach. Since most patients with small renal cell carcinomas have 1 or more renal function relevant comorbidities, there is an imperative to increase the use of nephron sparing surgery.

Materials and Methods: This is a nested case-control study of 1,159 cases and 1,353 controls from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, a randomized, placebo controlled trial testing whether the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride could decrease the 7-year prevalence of prostate cancer. During the course of the trial men underwent annual digital rectal examination and prostate specific antigen measurement. Prostate biopsy was recommended in all men with abnormal digital rectal examination or finasteride adjusted prostate specific antigen greater than 4.0 ng/ml. Cases were drawn from men with biopsy determined prostate cancer identified by for cause or end of study biopsy. Controls were selected from men who completed the end of study biopsy. Results: Mean CAG repeat length did not differ between cases and controls. The frequency distribution of cases and controls for the AR CAG repeat length was similar. There were no significant associations of CAG repeat length with prostate cancer risk when stratified by treatment arm (finasteride or placebo), or when combined. There was also no significant association between CAG repeat length and the risk of low or high grade prostate cancer. Conclusions: There is no association of AR CAG repeat length with prostate cancer risk. Knowledge of AR CAG repeat length provides no clinically useful information to predict prostate cancer risk.

TI Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis Receptor Protein (TWEAKR) Expression by Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus MicroRNA Prevents TWEAK-Induced Apoptosis and Inflammatory Cytokine Expression SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID NF-KAPPA-B; HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS; ENDOTHELIAL-CELLS; GENE-EXPRESSION; HUMAN-HERPESVIRUS-8 INFECTION; MULTIFUNCTIONAL CYTOKINE; FUNCTIONAL EXPRESSION; CHEMOKINE PRODUCTION; ENCODED MICRORNAS; FN14 AB Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the causative agent of KS, the second most common AIDS-associated malignancy. KSHV expresses at least 18 different mature microRNAs (miRNAs) during latency. To identify cellular targets of KSHV miRNAs, we have analyzed a previously reported series of microarrays examining changes in cellular gene expression in the presence of KSHV miRNAs. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) receptor (TWEAKR) was among the most consistently and robustly downregulated genes in the presence of KSHV miR-K12-10a (miR-K10a). Results from luciferase assays with reporter plasmids containing the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of TWEAKR suggest a targeting of TWEAKR by miR-K10a. The mutation of two predicted miR-K10a recognition sites within the 3' UTR of TWEAKR completely disrupts inhibition by miR-K10a. The expression of TWEAKR was downregulated in cells transfected with miR-K10a as well as during de novo KSHV infection. In a KS tumor-derived endothelial cell line, the downregulation of TWEAKR by miR-K10a resulted in reduced levels of TWEAK-induced caspase activation. In addition, cells transfected with miR-K10a showed less induction of apoptosis by annexin V staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays. Finally, the downregulation of TWEAKR by miR-K10a in primary human endothelial cells resulted in a decrease in levels of expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in response to TWEAK. These results identify and validate an important cellular target of KSHV miRNAs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a viral miRNA protects cells from apoptosis and suppresses a proinflammatory response, which may have significant implications in the complex context of KS lesions.

TI Structure of a Major Antigenic Site on the Respiratory Syncytial Virus Fusion Glycoprotein in Complex with Neutralizing Antibody 101F SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; F-PROTEIN; CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; YOUNG-CHILDREN; INFECTION; DISEASE; MOTAVIZUMAB; INFANTS; EPITOPE; IDENTIFICATION AB Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants and elderly people. Currently there is no effective vaccine against RSV, but passive prophylaxis with neutralizing antibodies reduces hospitalizations. To investigate the mechanism of antibody-mediated RSV neutralization, we undertook structure-function studies of monoclonal antibody 101F, which binds a linear epitope in the RSV fusion glycoprotein. Crystal structures of the 101F antigen-binding fragment in complex with peptides from the fusion glycoprotein defined both the extent of the linear epitope and the interactions of residues that are mutated in antibody escape variants. The structure allowed for modeling of 101F in complex with trimers of the fusion glycoprotein, and the resulting models suggested that 101F may contact additional surfaces located outside the linear epitope. This hypothesis was supported by surface plasmon resonance experiments that demonstrated 101F bound the peptide epitope similar to 16,000-fold more weakly than the fusion glycoprotein. The modeling also showed no substantial clashes between 101F and the fusion glycoprotein in either the pre- or postfusion state, and cell-based assays indicated that 101F neutralization was not associated with blocking virus attachment. Collectively, these results provide a structural basis for RSV neutralization by antibodies that target a major antigenic site on the fusion glycoprotein.

Annotation of the gene product B736L from chlorovirus NY-2A suggests that it is a glycosyltransferase. The structure of the recombinantly expressed B736L protein was determined by X-ray crystallography to 2.3-angstrom resolution, and the protein was shown to have two nucleotide-binding folds like other glycosyltransferase type B enzymes. This is the second structure of a chlorovirus-encoded glycosyltransferase and the first structure of a chlorovirus type B enzyme to be determined. B736L is a retaining enzyme and belongs to glycosyltransferase family 4. The donor substrate was identified as GDP-mannose by isothermal titration calorimetry and was shown to bind into the cleft between the two domains in the protein. The active form of the enzyme is probably a dimer in which the active centers are separated by about 40 angstrom.

To address this issue we undertook an extensive evolutionary analysis of 36 RCV-A1 samples collected from wild rabbit populations in southeast Australia between 2007 and 2009. Based on phylogenetic analysis of the entire capsid sequence, six clades of RCV-A1 were defined, each exhibiting strong population subdivision. Strikingly, our estimates of the time to the most recent common ancestor of RCV-A1 coincide with the introduction of rabbits to Australia in the mid-19th century. Subsequent divergence events visible in the RCV-A1 phylogenies likely reflect key moments in the history of the European rabbit in Australia, most notably the bottlenecks in rabbit populations induced by the two viral biocontrol agents used on the Australian continent, myxoma virus and rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). RCV-A1 strains therefore exhibit strong phylogeographic separation and may constitute a useful tool to study recent host population dynamics and migration patterns, which in turn could be used to monitor rabbit control in Australia.

TI Identification of Specific Determinants of Human APOBEC3F, APOBEC3C, and APOBEC3DE and African Green Monkey APOBEC3F That Interact with HIV-1 Vif SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID HUMAN-IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS; VIRION INFECTIVITY FACTOR; AMINO-ACID DIFFERENCE; FUSION INHIBITOR T-20; E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE; TYPE-1 VIF; REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION; CYTIDINE DEAMINASE; ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY; ANTIRETROVIRAL ACTIVITY AB Human APOBEC3F (hA3F) and human APOBEC3G (hA3G) are potent anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) host factors that suppress viral replication by hypermutating the viral genome, inhibiting reverse transcription, and hindering integration. To overcome hA3F and hA3G, HIV-1 encodes Vif, which binds and targets these host proteins for proteasomal degradation. Previously, we reported that the hA3F-Vif interactions that lead to hA3F degradation are located in the region comprising amino acids 283 to 300. We have now performed mutational analysis of this region and found that the (289)EFLARH(294) amino acids contribute to hA3F-Vif binding and are critical for A3F's sensitivity to Vif. Mutants in which E289 is mutated significantly increase hA3F's ability to inhibit viral infectivity in the presence of Vif, and coimmunoprecipitation assays show that binding of Vif to the E289K mutant is decreased. We examined the role of the EFLARH sequence in other A3 proteins, including human A3C (hA3C), human A3DE (hA3DE), African green monkey A3F (agmA3F), and rhesus macaque A3F (rhA3F). hA3C, hA3DE, and agmA3F were all susceptible to degradation induced by HIV-1 Vif, while rhA3F was not. Mutagenesis of the glutamate in the EFLARH sites of hA3C, hA3DE, and agmA3F decreases the susceptibilities of these proteins to Vif-induced degradation. Together, these results indicate that the EFLARH region in hA3F, hA3C, hA3DE, and agmA3F interacts with HIV-1 Vif and that this interaction plays a role in the Vif-mediated proteasomal degradation of these A3 proteins. These studies identify a conserved region in 3 of 7 human A3 proteins that is critical for degradation mediated by HIV-1 Vif and provide structural insights into the hA3F-Vif interactions that could facilitate the development of a novel class of anti-HIV agents.

TI Microevolution of Canine Influenza Virus in Shelters and Its Molecular Epidemiology in the United States SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID EQUINE INFLUENZA; A VIRUSES; SIALIC-ACID; HOST-RANGE; PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS; RESPIRATORY-DISEASE; SEROLOGICAL SURVEY; CELL GLYCOLIPIDS; RECEPTOR-BINDING; DOGS AB Canine influenza virus (CIV) emerged around 2000 when an equine influenza virus (EIV) was transmitted to dogs in Florida. After 2003, the canine virus was carried by infected greyhounds to various parts of the United States and then became established in several large animal shelters, where it has continued to circulate. To better understand the evolution of CIV since its emergence, and particularly its microevolution in spatially restricted populations, we examined multiple gene segments of CIV from dogs resident in two large animal shelters in New York City during the period 2006 to 2009. In particular, we focused on viruses circulating in the two shelters in 2008 and 2009, which we found shared a common ancestor. While viruses in each shelter were generally monophyletic, we observed some gene flow between them. These shelter sequences were compared to earlier CIV isolates. The shelter viruses differed in 1 to 6 amino acids in each gene segment compared to viruses isolated in Florida between 2003 and 2005 and in Colorado in 2006 and 2008. A comparison of the sequences of equine and canine viruses revealed amino acid replacements that distinguished the viruses from the two hosts, but no clear evidence of positive selection indicative of host adaptation was detected, suggesting that any host range adaptation in CIV occurred early in the emergence of this virus or even before it transferred to dogs.

TI Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Tax Protein Complexes with P-TEFb and Competes for Brd4 and 7SK snRNP/HEXIM1 Binding SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID RNA-POLYMERASE-II; CARBOXY-TERMINAL DOMAIN; HTLV-I; TRANSCRIPTIONAL ELONGATION; CREB BINDING; DEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTION; REGULATORY ELEMENTS; MYELOPATHY HAM/TSP; COACTIVATOR CBP; GENE-EXPRESSION AB Positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) plays an important role in stimulating RNA polymerase II elongation for viral and cellular gene expression. P-TEFb is found in cells in either an active, low-molecular-weight (LMW) form or an inactive, high-molecular-weight (HMW) form. We report here that human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax interacts with the cyclin T1 subunit of P-TEFb, forming a distinct Tax/P-TEFb LMW complex. We demonstrate that Tax can play a role in regulating the amount of HMW complex present in the cell by decreasing the binding of 7SK snRNP/HEXIM1 to P-TEFb. This is seen both in vitro using purified Tax protein and in vivo in cells transduced with Tax expression constructs. Further, we find that a peptide of cyclin T1 spanning the Tax binding domain inhibits the ability of Tax to disrupt HMW P-TEFb complexes. These results suggest that the direct interaction of Tax with cyclin T1 can dissociate P-TEFb from the P-TEFb/7SK snRNP/HEXIM1 complex for activation of the viral long terminal repeat (LTR). We also show that Tax competes with Brd4 for P-TEFb binding. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrated that Brd4 and P-TEFb are associated with the basal HTLV-1 LTR, while Tax and P-TEFb are associated with the activated template. Furthermore, the knockdown of Brd4 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) activates the HTLV-1 LTR promoter, which results in an increase in viral expression and production. Our studies have identified Tax as a regulator of P-TEFb that is capable of affecting the balance between its association with the large inactive complex and the small active complex.

TI Common Inbred Strains of the Laboratory Mouse That Are Susceptible to Infection by Mouse Xenotropic Gammaretroviruses and the Human-Derived Retrovirus XMRV SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID MURINE LEUKEMIA VIRUSES; CELL-SURFACE RECEPTOR; MAJOR GLYCOPROTEINS GP70; MUS-MUSCULUS-MOLOSSINUS; HOST-RANGE; C VIRUSES; IN-VITRO; MICE; ORIGIN; LOCI AB Laboratory mouse strains carry endogenous copies of the xenotropic mouse leukemia viruses (X-MLVs), named for their inability to infect cells of the laboratory mouse. This resistance to exogenous infection is due to a nonpermissive variant of the XPR1 gammaretrovirus receptor, a resistance that also limits in vivo expression of germ line X-MLV proviruses capable of producing infectious virus. Because laboratory mice vary widely in their proviral contents and in their virus expression patterns, we screened inbred strains for sequence and functional variants of the XPR1 receptor. We also typed inbred strains and wild mouse species for an endogenous provirus, Bxv1, that is capable of producing infectious X-MLV and that also contributes to the generation of pathogenic recombinant MLVs. We identified the active Bxv1 provirus in many common inbred strains and in some Japanese Mus molossinus mice but in none of the other wild mouse species that carry X-MLVs. Our screening for Xpr1 variants identified the permissive Xpr1(sxv) allele in 7 strains of laboratory mice, including a Bxv1-positive strain, F/St, which is characterized by lifelong X-MLV viremia. Cells from three strains carrying Xpr1(sxv), namely, SWR, SJL, and SIM.R, were shown to be infectable by X-MLV and XMRV; these strains carry different alleles at Fv1 and vary in their sensitivities to specific X/P-MLV isolates and XMRV. Several strains with Xpr1(sxv) lack the active Bxv1 provirus or other endogenous X-MLVs and may provide a useful model system to evaluate the in vivo spread of these gammaretroviruses and their disease potential in their natural host.

Rare HIV-1-infected individuals, termed HIV-1 controllers, have plasma HIV-1 RNA levels below the limit of detection by standard clinical assays (<50 to 75 copies/ml) without antiretroviral therapy. Although several recent studies have documented persistent low-grade viremia in HIV-1 controllers at a level not significantly different from that in HIV-1-infected individuals undergoing treatment with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), it is unclear if plasma viruses are undergoing full cycles of replication in vivo or if the infection of new cells is completely blocked by host immune mechanisms. We studied a cohort of 21 HIV-1 controllers with a median level of viremia below 1 copy/ml, followed for a median of 11 years. Less than half of the cohort carried known protective HLA types (B*57/27). By isolating HIV-1 RNA from large volumes of plasma, we amplified single genome sequences of both pro-rt and env longitudinally. This study is the first to document that HIV-1 pro-rt and env evolve in this patient group, albeit at rates somewhat lower than in HIV-1 noncontrollers, in HLA B*57/27-positive, as well as HLA B*57/27-negative, individuals. Viral diversity and adaptive events associated with immune escape were found to be restricted in HIV-1 controllers, suggesting that replication occurs in the face of less overall immune selection.

Codon usage limitation, rather than promoter type and the 3' untranslated region of the capsid genes, appears to be a key factor in capsid protein production in nonpermissive cells.

TI Gender and Age Disparities in the Prevalence of Chlamydia Infection Among Sexually Active Adults in the United States SO JOURNAL OF WOMENS HEALTH LA English DT Article ID SIMPLEX-VIRUS TYPE-2; TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS; DRUG-USE; NEISSERIA-GONORRHOEAE; BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS; YOUNG-ADULTS; RISK-FACTORS; SEX WORK; TRACHOMATIS; WOMEN AB Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) causes a costly and potentially recurrent bacterial infection that accounts for a considerable proportion of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Disparities by gender and age group in CT prevalence have been reported previously. The current study evaluates demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral risk and protective factors that may account for gender/age disparities in CT infections among sexually active young adults in the United States. Methods: Secondary analyses were performing using the 1999-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Results: A total sample of 5611 adults, 20-39 years of age, who participated in the 1999-2006 NHANES, reported lifetime sexual experience, and had valid laboratory-based CT status, was analyzed. CT prevalence did not differ significantly by gender and was estimated to be 1.6%. It was slightly higher for people <25 years vs. those >= 25 years of age; age disparities were reduced after controlling for demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral characteristics. Among those <25 years, non-Hispanic blacks had a higher odds of CT infection compared with other groups. Among those >= 25 years of age, not having had unprotected sex in the past month reduced the odds for CT infection, whereas non-Hispanic black race and never married status increased the odds for CT infection. Conclusions: Among sexually active adults, no gender disparities were observed in CT prevalence. Age group disparities were partly explained by personal characteristics associated with risk of STIs.

TI DNA Repair and the Accumulation of Oxidatively Damaged DNA Are Affected by Fruit Intake in Mice SO JOURNALS OF GERONTOLOGY SERIES A-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND MEDICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Aging; Oxidative stress; DNA repair; DNA damage; Dietary intervention ID BASE EXCISION-REPAIR; MITOCHONDRIA; GLYCOSYLASES; VEGETABLES; RADIATION; PATHWAY; PLUMS AB AGING is associated with elevated oxidative stress and DNA damage. To achieve healthy aging, we must begin to understand how diet affects cellular processes. We postulated that fruit-enriched diets might initiate a program of enhanced DNA repair and thereby improve genome integrity. C57Bl/6 J mice were fed for 14 weeks a control diet or a diet with 8% peach or nectarine extract. The activities of DNA repair enzymes, the level of DNA damage, and gene expression changes were measured. Our study showed that repair of various oxidative DNA lesions was more efficient in liver extracts derived from mice fed fruit-enriched diets. In support of these findings, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis revealed that there was a decrease in the levels of formamidopyrimidines in peach-fed mice compared with the controls. Additionally, microarray analysis revealed that NTH1 was upregulated in peach-fed mice. Taken together, these results suggest that an increased intake of fruits might modulate the efficiency of DNA repair, resulting in altered levels of DNA damage.

TI The Effect of Midlife Physical Activity on Cognitive Function Among Older Adults: AGES-Reykjavik Study SO JOURNALS OF GERONTOLOGY SERIES A-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND MEDICAL SCIENCES LA English DT Article DE Physical activity; Cognitive function; Longitudinal study ID INTERNATIONAL NEUROPSYCHIATRIC INTERVIEW; APOLIPOPROTEIN-E; RISK-FACTORS; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; DSM-IV; DEMENTIA; EXERCISE; HEALTH; BRAIN; MINI AB There are few studies on the long-term associations of physical activity (PA) to cognition. Here, we examine the association of midlife PA to late-life cognitive function and dementia. The sample consisted of a population-based cohort of men and women (born in 1907-1935) participating in the Age Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study. The interval between the midlife ascertainment of PA and late-life cognitive function was 26 years. Composite scores of speed of processing, memory, and executive function were assessed with a battery of neuropsychological tests, and dementia was diagnosed according to international guidelines. There were 4,761 nondemented participants and 184 (3.7%) with a diagnosis of dementia, with complete data for the analysis. Among the participants, no midlife PA was reported by 68.8%, < 5 hours PA by 26.5%, and > 5 hours PA by 4.5%. Excluding participants with dementia compared with the no PA group, both PA groups had significantly faster speed of processing (< 5 hours, beta = .22; > 5 hours, beta = .32, p trend < .0001), better memory (< 5 hours, beta = .15; > 5 hours, beta = .18, p trend < .0001), and executive function (< 5 hours, beta = .09; > 5 hours, beta = .18, p trend < .0001), after controlling for demographic and cardiovascular factors. The < 5 hours PA group was significantly less likely to have dementia in late life (odds ratio: 0.6, 95% confidence interval: 0.40-0.88) after adjusting for confounders. Midlife PA may contribute to maintenance of cognitive function and may reduce or delay the risk of late-life dementia.

Owen Wertheimer, Alan TI The Right to Withdraw from Research SO KENNEDY INSTITUTE OF ETHICS JOURNAL LA English DT Article AB The right to withdraw from participation in research is recognized in virtually all national and international guidelines for research on human subjects. It is therefore surprising that there has been little justification for that right in the literature. We argue that the right to withdraw should protect research participants from information imbalance, inability to hedge, inherent uncertainty, and untoward bodily invasion, and it serves to bolster public trust in the research enterprise. Although this argument is not radical, it provides a useful way to determine how the right should be applied in various cases. C1 [Schaefer, G.

SO KENNEDY INSTITUTE OF ETHICS JOURNAL LA English DT Article ID I CANCER TRIALS; INFORMED-CONSENT; CLINICAL-TRIALS; ONCOLOGY AB There has been long-standing, albeit largely implicit, debate over whether investigator intentions are relevant to the ethical appropriateness of clinical research. Some commentators argue that whether investigators intend to collect generalizable knowledge or to benefit subjects is central to the ethics of clinical research. Others do not even mention investigator intentions when evaluating what makes clinical research ethical. To shed light on this debate, the present paper considers the reasons why investigator intentions might be ethically relevant. This analysis reveals that investigator intentions are related to, but distinct from three ethical requirements: whether subjects understand that they are contributing to a project to help others, whether the included interventions have an appropriate risk/benefit ratio, and whether subjects' interests are adequately protected. Provided these three requirements are satisfied, the ethical appropriateness of clinical research does not depend on what intentions investigators have in conducting it.

TI Angiotensin II overcomes strain-dependent resistance of rapid CKD progression in a new remnant kidney mouse model SO KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE angiotensin II; blood pressure; glomerulosclerosis; interstitial fibrosis; telemetry ID CHRONIC-RENAL-FAILURE; FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS; ARTERIAL-BLOOD-PRESSURE; LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT; 9 GENE MYH9; CARDIAC-HYPERTROPHY; AFRICAN-AMERICANS; GROWTH-FACTOR; MOLECULAR-MECHANISMS; INDUCED HYPERTENSION AB The remnant kidney model in C57BL/6 mice does not develop progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study we modified the model to mimic features of human CKD and to define accelerants of disease progression using three strains of mice. Following the procedure, there was a progressive increase in albuminuria, progressive loss in renal function, severe glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis, hypertension, cardiac fibrosis, and anemia by 4 weeks in CD-1 mice and by 12 weeks in 129S3 mice. In contrast, even after 16 weeks, the C57BL/6 mice with a remnant kidney had modestly increased albuminuria without increased blood pressure and without developing CKD or cardiac fibrosis. The baseline blood pressure, determined by radiotelemetry in conscious animals, correlated with CKD progression rates in each strain. Administering angiotensin II overcame the resistance of C57BL/6 mice to CKD following renal mass reduction, displaying high blood pressure and albuminuria, severe glomerulosclerosis, and loss of renal function by 4 weeks. Decreasing blood pressure with olmesartan, but not hydralazine, in CD-1 mice with a remnant kidney reduced CKD progression and cardiac fibrosis. C57BL/6 mice with a remnant kidney and DOCA-salt hypertension developed modest CKD. Each strain had similar degrees of interstitial fibrosis in three different normotensive models of renal fibrosis. Thus, reducing renal mass in CD-1 or 129S3 mice mimics many features of human CKD. Angiotensin II can convert the C57BL/6 strain from CKD resistant to susceptible in this disease model.

Anticytokine autoantibodies may also develop against exogenously administered cytokines, sometimes diminishing their effects or inhibiting the activity of the endogenous cytokine. Unlike primary congenital immunodeficiencies, autoantibodies may develop over time, wax and wane, and may change in titre or avidity. Naturally occurring autoantibodies to interferons alpha, beta, and gamma, interleukins 1 alpha, 2, 6, and 10, tumour necrosis factor, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor have been reported in healthy individuals and have been identified in rheumatological diseases, graft-versus-host disease, and cancer. Therapeutic antibodies, growth factors, other biological agents, and cytokines used to treat acute, chronic, malignant, and immune diseases may elicit or overcome autoantibodies, hence influencing the primary intended therapy. The increasing number of biologically active anticytokine autoantibodies being reported suggests that currently "idiopathic" diseases may someday be explained by neutralising or agonising autoantibodies. Their protean roles in causing, treating, preventing, and responding to disease, as well as simply maintaining normal homoeostasis, offer fascinating insights into the biology of immunity, inflammation, and infection.

SO LASERS IN SURGERY AND MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE CO(2) laser; Ho:YAG laser; myocardial function; laser-tissue interaction ID REFRACTORY ANGINA-PECTORIS; RANDOMIZED-TRIAL; MEDICAL THERAPY; HOLMIUM; CO2; CO2-LASER; HEART AB Background: Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR) is currently clinically performed with either a CO(2) or Ho:YAG laser for the treatment of severe angina. While both lasers provide symptomatic relief, there are significant differences in the laser-tissue interactions specific to each device that may impact their ability to enhance the perfusion of myocardium and thereby improve contractile function of the ischemic heart. Methods: A porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia was employed. After collecting baseline functional data with cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dobutamine stress echo (DSE), 14 animals underwent TMR with either a CO(2) or Ho: YAG laser. Transmural channels were created with each laser in a distribution of 1/cm(2) in the ischemic zone. Six weeks post-treatment repeat MRI as well as DSE were obtained after which the animals were sacrificed. Histology was preformed to characterize the laser-tissue interaction. Results: CO(2) TMRled to improvement in wall thickening in the ischemic area as seen with cine MRI(40.3% vs. baseline, P < 0.05) and DSE (20.2% increase vs. baseline, P < 0.05). Ho: YAG treated animals had no improvement in wall thickening by MRI (-11.6% vs. baseline, P = .67) and DSE ( 16.7% vs. baseline, P = 0.08). Correlative semi-quantitative histology revealed a significantly higher fibrosis index in Ho: YAG treated myocardium versus CO(2) (1.81 vs. 0.083, P < 0.05). Conclusions: In a side-by-side comparison CO(2) TMR resulted in improved function of ischemic myocardium as assessed by MRI and echocardiography. Ho:YAG TMRled to no improvement in regional function likely due to concomitant increase in fibrosis in the lasered area. Lasers Surg. Med. 42:746-751, 2010. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

TI NOTCH1 and/or FBXW7 mutations predict for initial good prednisone response but not for improved outcome in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients treated on DCOG or COALL protocols SO LEUKEMIA LA English DT Article DE pediatric T-ALL; NOTCH1; FBXW7; TLX3; prednisone response; outcome AB Aberrant activation of the NOTCH1 pathway by inactivating and activating mutations in NOTCH1 or FBXW7 is a frequent phenomenon in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We retrospectively investigated the relevance of NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations for pediatric T-ALL patients enrolled on Dutch Childhood Oncology Group (DCOG) ALL7/8 or ALL9 or the German Co-Operative Study Group for Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia study (COALL-97) protocols. NOTCH1-activating mutations were identified in 63% of patients. NOTCH1 mutations affected the heterodimerization, the juxtamembrane and/or the PEST domains, but not the RBP-J-kappa-associated module, the ankyrin repeats or the transactivation domain. Reverse-phase protein microarray data confirmed that NOTCH1 and FBXW7 mutations resulted in increased intracellular NOTCH1 levels in primary T-ALL biopsies. Based on microarray expression analysis, NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations were associated with activation of NOTCH1 direct target genes including HES1, DTX1, NOTCH3, PTCRA but not cMYC. NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations were associated with TLX3 rearrangements, but were less frequently identified in TAL1- or LMO2-rearranged cases. NOTCH1-activating mutations were less frequently associated with mature T-cell developmental stage. Mutations were associated with a good initial in vivo prednisone response, but were not associated with a superior outcome in the DCOG and COALL cohorts. Comparing our data with other studies, we conclude that the prognostic significance for NOTCH1/FBXW7 mutations is not consistent and may depend on the treatment protocol given.

We assessed total serum IgE levels and atopy (IgE > 100 IU/ml) in recently diagnosed SLE patients (n = 228) compared with population controls (n = 293) and in relation to disease activity, autoantibodies, clinical features, total immunoglobulins, C-reactive protein, and allergy history. Multivariate models estimated determinants of IgE and atopy in patients and controls, and associations of SLE with allergy and atopy. Total IgE levels were higher in patients than controls (median = 42 vs. 29 IU/ml); 32% of patients and 25% of controls were atopic (p = 0.06). IgE levels were significantly higher in non-Whites and patients reporting childhood onset (< 18 years) asthma and hives, and in controls reporting childhood asthma, hay fever, eczema, and adult onset hives. After accounting for racial differences, atopy was not associated with SLE, nephritis, or other clinical and laboratory parameters. In sum, our findings provide limited evidence of a direct association between total serum IgE and SLE overall or with other disease characteristics after adjusting for demographic characteristics and allergy history. Future studies may want to explore potentially shared risk factors for development of allergy, atopy, and SLE. Lupus (2010) 19, 1614-1622. C1 [Parks, C.

In this study, theoretical analyses and experimental data at 9.4 T demonstrate that increasing labeling duration not only enhances the contrast of the arterial spin labeling signal but also minimizes the effect of variable postlabeling delays in multislice arterial spin labeling acquisitions. With a labeling duration of 6.4 sec, arterial spin labeling signal acquired in multislice mode (11 slices) is very similar to that acquired in single-slice mode. Previous studies have shown that inserting a delay between the spin labeling pulse and the image acquisition pulse could reduce confounds resulting from variable blood transit times at the expense of arterial spin labeling sensitivity. Our simulations suggest that enhancing the contrast of arterial spin labeling signal offers the opportunity for extending the postlabeling delay to a longer duration, minimizing systematic errors associated with a wide range of blood transit times, which could have significant implications for applying arterial spin labeling techniques to perfusion imaging of pathological conditions in animal models.

The method employs hardware-optimized gradient pulses, together with a novel phase-encoding strategy that simplifies the design and implementation of the optimized gradient waveforms. In particular, the waveforms for intermediate phase-encode steps are obtained by simple linear combination, rather than separate optimized waveform calculations. Gradient waveforms are redesigned in real time as the scan plane is manipulated, and the resulting sequence operates at the specified limits of the MRI gradient subsystem for each new scan-plane orientation. The implementation provides 14-25% improvement in the sequence pulse repetition time over the vendor-supplied interactive real-time imaging sequence for similar scan parameters on our MRI scanner.

Methods: We mailed a 39-item self-administered survey to the 1256 staff at 135 federally qualified health centers (FQHC) implementing the Health Disparities Collaboratives (HDC), a large-scale QI collaborative intervention. We asked about the extent to which the HDC yielded improvements or detriments beyond its condition(s) of focus, particularly for non-HDC aspects of patient care and FQHC function. Results: Response rate was 68.7%. The HDC was perceived to improve non-HDC patient care and general FQHC functioning more often than it was regarded as diminishing them. In all, 45% of respondents indicated that the HDC improved the quality of care for chronic conditions not being emphasized by the HDC; 5% responded that the HDC diminished that quality. Seventy-five percent stated that the HDC improved care provided to patients with multiple chronic conditions; 4% signified that the HDC diminished it. Fifty-five percent of respondents indicated that the HDC improved their FQHC's ability to move patients through their center, and 80% indicated that the HDC improved their FQHC's QI plan as a whole; 8% and 2% indicated that the HDC diminished these, respectively. Discussion: On balance, the HDC was perceived to yield more positive spillovers than negative ones. This QI intervention appears to have generated effects beyond its condition of focus; QI's unintended effects should be included in evaluations to develop a better understanding of QI's net impact.

Reasons for these low rates of screening frequently include low acculturation levels. However, screening rates remain low for most AA populations despite differences in acculturation levels, suggesting presence of other important modifiers such as access barriers. Objectives: To compare the relative impact of access versus acculturation on breast and cervical cancer screening for AA subgroups. Research Design: Multiple regressions models, controlling for sociodemographics, were developed for each AA subgroup. Subjects: Women ages 18 and older from the 2003 California Health Interview Survey were included in this study. We included women with Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Vietnamese origins. Measures: The dependent variables included clinical breast examination in the past year, mammogram in the past 2 years, and Pap test in the past 3 years. Independent variables included AA subgroup, access indicators, acculturation indicators, and other sociodemographics. Results: Access explained more variation that acculturation alone in cancer screening for most AA women. The exceptions were in mammograms for Japanese, Koreans and South Asians and Pap test among Japanese. No insurance reduced the likelihood of clinical breast examination for immigrant Chinese and Filipinos, and no usual source of care reduced likelihood of Pap test for Japanese and South Asians compared with US born. Conclusions: Access indicators represent the ability to navigate the US health care system but have a differential impact on AA groups. These differences should be integrated into interventions designed to improve cancer screening rates.

TI Automatic anatomy recognition via multiobject oriented active shape models SO MEDICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE object recognition; image segmentation; active shape models; live wire ID IMAGE SEGMENTATION; LEVEL SET; CT IMAGES; KNOWLEDGE; ATLAS; CONSTRUCTION; FRAMEWORK; PRIORS AB Purpose: This paper studies the feasibility of developing an automatic anatomy recognition (AAR) system in clinical radiology and demonstrates its operation on clinical 2D images. Methods: The anatomy recognition method described here consists of two main components: (a) multiobject generalization of OASM and (b) object recognition strategies. The OASM algorithm is generalized to multiple objects by including a model for each object and assigning a cost structure specific to each object in the spirit of live wire. The delineation of multiobject boundaries is done in MOASM via a three level dynamic programming algorithm, wherein the first level is at pixel level which aims to find optimal oriented boundary segments between successive landmarks, the second level is at landmark level which aims to find optimal location for the landmarks, and the third level is at the object level which aims to find optimal arrangement of object boundaries over all objects. The object recognition strategy attempts to find that pose vector (consisting of translation, rotation, and scale component) for the multiobject model that yields the smallest total boundary cost for all objects. The delineation and recognition accuracies were evaluated separately utilizing routine clinical chest CT, abdominal CT, and foot MRI data sets. The delineation accuracy was evaluated in terms of true and false positive volume fractions (TPVF and FPVF). The recognition accuracy was assessed (1) in terms of the size of the space of the pose vectors for the model assembly that yielded high delineation accuracy, (2) as a function of the number of objects and objects' distribution and size in the model, (3) in terms of the interdependence between delineation and recognition, and (4) in terms of the closeness of the optimum recognition result to the global optimum. Results: When multiple objects are included in the model, the delineation accuracy in terms of TPVF can be improved to 97%-98% with a low FPVF of 0.1%-0.2%. Typically, a recognition accuracy of >= 90% yielded a TPVF >= 95% and FPVF <= 0.5%. Over the three data sets and over all tested objects, in 97% of the cases, the optimal solutions found by the proposed method constituted the true global optimum. Conclusions: The experimental results showed the feasibility and efficacy of the proposed automatic anatomy recognition system. Increasing the number of objects in the model can significantly improve both recognition and delineation accuracy. More spread out arrangement of objects in the model can lead to improved recognition and delineation accuracy. Including larger objects in the model also improved recognition and delineation. The proposed method almost always finds globally optimum solutions. c 2010 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.

TI Non-toxic inhibition of HIV-1 replication with silver-copper nanoparticles SO MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE HIV; Nanoparticles; Silver; Copper ID GP120; CELLS; SULFADIAZINE; APOPTOSIS; SIZE AB Cu and Ag-Cu mixed alloy nanoparticles displayed significant inhibition to HIV-1 replication with limited toxicity to human cells at relatively low concentrations of metal. A previous study (Elechiguerra et al. in J Nanobiotechnol 3:6-16, 2005) suggested a size-specific Ag nanoparticle can be tailored to block or damage the glycoprotein (gp) 120/gp41 spike or, more specifically, the invariant epitope at the gp120 binding site. Two different protocols were employed to test whether nanoparticles block entry of HIV-1, and in both instances the nanoparticles acted at some point other than initial binding. This work shows that Ag, Cu, and Ag-Cu mixed alloy metals display a chemically dependent inactivation of the target virus.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from the 2003-2004 and 2005-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were combined and analyzed. Youth aged 6-19 yr with at least four 10-h days of PA measured by accelerometry were included (n = 3106). Outcomes included mean counts per minute and minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Results: Among the groups, the 6- to 11-yr-olds spent more time (88 min.d(-1)) in MVPA than the 12- to 15-yr-olds (33 min.d(-1)) and 16- to 19-yr-olds (26 min.d(-1); P < 0.001 for both). Females spent fewer minutes per day in MVPA than males (P < 0.001). Overall, obese youth spent 16 fewer minutes per day in MVPA than normal-weight youth. However, non-Hispanic white males spent three to four fewer minutes per day in vigorous PA than Mexican American (MA; P = 0.004) and non-Hispanic black (P < 0.001) males but had lower obesity rates and obese 12- to 15-yr-old MA recorded similar minutes in MVPA per day as normal-weight MA (P > 0.050). There was a significant three-way age-body mass index-race/ethnicity interaction for mean minutes per day in MVPA (P < 0.001). Adjustment for total energy intake did not qualitatively alter these results. Conclusions: Females and older youth were the least active groups. Obese youth were generally less active, but this did not hold uniformly across race/ethnic groups. Cultural or biological factors could moderate the association between PA and obesity in youth.

Validity of a Physical Activity Questionnaire in Shanghai. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 42, No. 12, pp. 2222-2230, 2010. Purpose: In large epidemiologic studies, physical activity (PA) is often assessed using PA questionnaires (PAQ). Because available PAQ may not capture the full range of PA in which urban Chinese adults engage, a PAQ was developed for this purpose. We examined the validity of this PAQ and the 1-yr stability of PA in 545 urban Shanghai adults. Methods: The PAQ was interview-administered twice, approximately 1 yr apart, and participants also wore an accelerometer and completed a PA-log for seven consecutive days every 3 months during the same year. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the stability of PA across questionnaire administrations, and Spearman correlation coefficients (rho) and mean differences and 95% limits of agreement were used to examine the validity of the questionnaire compared against accelerometry and the PA-log. Results: When measured by accelerometry, estimates of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA were lower and estimates of time spent sedentary were higher than when self-reported on the PAQ (P < 0.001). Total PA (ICC = 0.65) and PA domains (ICC = 0.45-0.85) showed moderate to high stability across PAQ administrations. Total PA (rho = 0.30), moderate-to-vigorous activity (rho = 0.17), light activity (rho = 0.36), and sedentary behavior (rho = 0.16) assessed by PAQ and by accelerometry were significantly and positively correlated, and correlations of the PAQ with the PA-log (rho = 0.36-0.85) were stronger than those observed with accelerometry. Conclusions: The PAQ significantly overestimated time spent in moderate-to-vigorous activity and underestimated time spent in light activity and sedentary behavior compared with accelerometry, but it performed well at ranking participants according to PA level.

TI The Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio Fails to Predict Insulin Resistance in African-American Women: An Analysis of Jackson Heart Study SO METABOLIC SYNDROME AND RELATED DISORDERS LA English DT Article ID DIABETES-MELLITUS; GLUCOSE; MARKERS; ADULTS AB Background: Compared to whites, insulin-resistant African Americans have worse outcomes. Screening programs that could identify insulin resistance early enough for intervention to affect outcome often rely on triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Racial differences in TG and HDL-C may compromise the efficacy of these programs in African Americans. A recommendation currently exists to use the TG/HDL-C ratio >= 2.0 to predict insulin resistance in African Americans. The validity of this recommendation needs examination. Therefore, our aim was to determine the ability of TG/HDL-C ratio to predict insulin resistance in African Americans. Methods: In 1,903 African Americans [895 men, 1,008 women, age 55 +/- 12 years, mean +/- standard deviation (SD), range 35-80 years, body mass index (BMI) 31.0 +/- 6.4 kg/m(2), range 18.5-55 kg/m2] participating in the Jackson Heart Study, a population-based study of African Americans, Jackson, Mississippi tricounty region, insulin resistance was defined by the upper quartile (>= 4.43) of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) of >0.70 was required for prediction of insulin resistance by TG/HDL-C. The optimal test cutoff was determined by the Youden index. Results: HOMA-IR was similar in men and women (3.40 +/- 2.03 vs. 3.80 +/- 2.46, P = 0.60). Women had lower TG (94 +/- 49 vs. 109 +/- 65 mg/dL P < 0.001) and TG/HDL-C (1.9 +/- 1.4 vs. 2.7 +/- 2.1, P < 0.001). For men, AUC-ROC for prediction of insulin resistance by TG/HDL-C was: 0.77 +/- 0.01, mean +/- standard error (SE), with an optimal cutoff of >= 2.5. For women, the AUC-ROC was 0.66 +/- 0.01, rendering an optimal cutoff indefinable. When women were divided in two groups according to age, 35-50 years and 51-80 years, the results did not change. Conclusions: In African-American men, the recommended TG/HDL-C threshold of 2.0 should be adjusted upward to 2.5. In African-American women, TG/HDL-C cannot identify insulin resistance. The Jackson Heart Study can help determine the efficacy of screening programs in African Americans.

TI Genome-Wide Distribution of MacroH2A1 Histone Variants in Mouse Liver Chromatin SO MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INACTIVE X-CHROMOSOME; GENE-EXPRESSION; CORE HISTONE; HETEROCHROMATIN; TRANSCRIPTION; LOCALIZATION; ISOFORMS; SUBTYPES; REVEALS; DOMAINS AB Studies of macroH2A histone variants indicate that they have a role in regulating gene expression. To identify direct targets of the macroH2A1 variants, we produced a genome-wide map of the distribution of macroH2A1 nucleosomes in mouse liver chromatin using high-throughput DNA sequencing. Although macroH2A1 nucleosomes are widely distributed across the genome, their local concentration varies over a range of 100-fold or more. The transcribed regions of most active genes are depleted of macroH2A1, often in sharply localized domains that show depletion of 4-fold or more relative to bulk mouse liver chromatin. We used macroH2A1 enrichment to help identify genes that appear to be directly regulated by macroH2A1 in mouse liver. These genes functionally cluster in the area of lipid metabolism. All but one of these genes has increased expression in macroH2A1 knockout mice, indicating that macroH2A1 functions primarily as a repressor in adult liver. This repressor activity is further supported by the substantial and relatively uniform macroH2A1 enrichment along the inactive X chromosome, which averages 4-fold. Genes that escape X inactivation stand out as domains of macroH2A1 depletion. The rarity of such genes indicates that few genes escape X inactivation in mouse liver, in contrast to what has been observed in human cells.

Genome-wide profile analyses revealed FdUMP[10] resembles FdU most closely and shows dissimilarities with 5FU. FdUMP[10] had the largest dynamic range of any of these drugs across the NCI-60 indicative of cancer cell-specific activity. Genes involved in endocytosis, such as clathrin (CLTC), SNF8, annexin A6 (ANXA6), and amyloid protein-binding 2 (APPBP2) uniquely correlated with sensitivity to FdUMP[10], consistent with a protein-mediated cellular uptake of FdUMP[10]. Genes involved in nucleotide metabolism were enriched for the three fluoropyrimidine drugs, with the expression profile for 5FU correlated to an RNA-mediated cytotoxic mechanism, whereas expression of glycosyltransferases (XYLT2) that use UDP sugars as substrates and the nucleoside diphosphatase and metastasis suppressor NM23 (NME1) were associated with FdUMP[10] sensitivity. Topotecan and irinotecan had significant negative correlations with miR-24, a miRNA with a high aggregate P(CT) score for topoisomerase 1 (Top1). Our results reveal significant new correlations between FdUMP[10] and Top1 poisons, as well as new information on the unique cytotoxic mechanism and genomic signature of FdUMP[10].

TI Chemoprevention of Chemically Induced Skin Tumorigenesis by Ligand Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-beta/delta and Inhibition of Cyclooxygenase 2 SO MOLECULAR CANCER THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID PPAR-BETA/DELTA; GENE-EXPRESSION; CELL-PROLIFERATION; DIFFERENTIATION; INFLAMMATION; MICE; CARCINOGENESIS; KERATINOCYTES; MODULATION; GROWTH AB Ligand activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-beta/delta (PPAR beta/delta) and inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) activity by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) can both attenuate skin tumorigenesis. The present study examined the hypothesis that combining ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with inhibition of COX2 activity will increase the efficacy of chemoprevention of chemically induced skin tumorigenesis over that observed with either approach alone. To test this hypothesis, wildtype and Ppar beta/delta-null mice were initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene (DMBA), topically treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate to promote tumorigenesis, and then immediately treated with topical application of the PPAR beta/delta ligand GW0742, dietary administration of the COX2 inhibitor nimesulide, or both GW0742 and nimesulide. Ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with GW0742 caused a PPAR beta/delta-dependent delay in the onset of tumor formation. Nimesulide also delayed the onset of tumor formation and caused inhibition of tumor multiplicity (46%) in wild-type mice but not in Ppar beta/delta-null mice. Combining ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with dietary nimesulide resulted in a further decrease of tumor multiplicity (58%) in wild-type mice but not in Ppar beta/delta-null mice. Biochemical and molecular analysis of skin and tumor samples show that these effects were due to the modulation of terminal differentiation, attenuation of inflammatory signaling, and induction of apoptosis through both PPAR beta/delta-dependent and PPAR beta/delta-independent mechanisms. Increased levels and activity of PPAR beta/delta by nimesulide were also observed. These studies support the hypothesis that combining ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with inhibition of COX2 activity increases the efficacy of preventing chemically induced skin tumorigenesis as compared with either approach alone.

TI Metabolomics Identifies Novel Hnf1 alpha-Dependent Physiological Pathways in Vivo SO MOLECULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY LA English DT Article ID HEPATOCYTE NUCLEAR FACTOR-1-ALPHA; PHENYLALANINE-HYDROXYLASE GENE; FUNCTIONAL-CHARACTERIZATION; TARGETED DISRUPTION; ALPHA-GENE; EXPRESSION; MICE; MOUSE; METABOLISM; MUTATIONS AB Mutations in the HNF1A gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3, one of the most common genetic causes of non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus. Although the whole-body Hnf1a-null mouse recapitulates the low insulin levels and high blood glucose observed in human maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 patients, these mice also suffer from Laron dwarfism and aminoaciduria, suggesting a role for hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (Hnf1 alpha) in pathophysiologies distinct from non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus. In an effort to identify pathways associated with inactivation of Hnf1 alpha, an ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry-based metabolomics study was conducted on urine samples from wild-type and Hnf1a-null mice. An increase in phenylalanine metabolites is in agreement with the known regulation of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene by Hnf1 alpha. This metabolomic approach also identified urinary biomarkers for three tissue-specific dysfunctions previously unassociated with Hnf1 alpha function. 1) Elevated indole-lactate coupled to decreased xanthurenic acid also indicated defects in the indole and kynurenine pathways of tryptophan metabolism, respectively. 2) An increase in the neutral amino acid proline in the urine of Hnf1a-null mice correlated with loss of renal apical membrane transporters of the Slc6a family. 3) Further investigation into the mechanism of aldosterone increase revealed an overactive adrenal gland in Hnf1a-null mice possibly due to inhibition of negative feedback regulation. Although the phenotype of the Hnf1a-null mouse is complex, metabolomics has opened the door to investigation of several physiological systems in which Hnf1 alpha may be a critical regulatory component.

The disease manifests as a fatal cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle myopathy in infants; in milder late-onset forms skeletal muscle is the major tissue affected. We have previously demonstrated that autophagic inclusions in muscle are prominent in adult patients and the mouse model. In this study we have evaluated the contribution of the autophagic pathology in infants before and 6 months after enzyme replacement therapy. Single muscle fibers, isolated from muscle biopsies, were stained for autophagosomal and lysosomal markers and analyzed by confocal microscopy. In addition, unstained bundles of fixed muscles were analyzed by second harmonic imaging. Unexpectedly, the autophagic component which is so prominent in juvenile and adult patients was negligible in infants; instead, the overwhelming characteristic was the presence of hugely expanded lysosomes. After 6 months on therapy, however, the autophagic buildup becomes visible as if unmasked by the clearance of glycogen. In most fibers, the two pathologies did not seem to coexist. These data point to the possibility of differences in the pathogenesis of Pompe disease in infants and adults. Published by Elsevier Inc.

TI ELMO1 variants and susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in American Indians SO MOLECULAR GENETICS AND METABOLISM LA English DT Article DE Association analysis; Candidate gene study; End stage renal disease; Genetic susceptibility; Pima Indians ID STAGE RENAL-DISEASE; URINARY ALBUMIN EXCRETION; PIMA-INDIANS; GENE; MELLITUS; ASSOCIATION; PREVALENCE; IMPACT; ESRD AB Variants in the engulfment and cell motility 1 gene, ELMO1, have previously been associated with kidney disease attributed to type 2 diabetes. The Pima Indians of Arizona have high rates of diabetic nephropathy, which is strongly dependent on genetic determinants; thus, we sought to investigate the role of ELMO1 polymorphisms in mediating susceptibility to this disease in this population. Genotype distributions were compared among 141 individuals with nephropathy and 416 individuals without heavy proteinuria in a family study of 257 sibships, and 107 cases with diabetic ESRD and 108 controls with long duration diabetes and no nephropathy. We sequenced 17.4 kb of ELMO1 and identified 19 variants. We genotyped 12 markers, excluding those in 100% genotypic concordance with other variants or with a minor allele frequency <0.05, plus 21 additional markers showing association with ESRD in earlier studies. In the family study, the strongest evidence for association was with rs1345365 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.42 per copy of A allele [1.35-4.32]; P=0.001) and rs10951509 (OR = 2.42 per copy of A allele [1.31-4.48]; P=0.002), both of which are located in intron 13 and are in strong pairwise linkage disequilibrium (r(2) = 0.97). These associations were in the opposite direction from those observed in African Americans, which suggests that the relationship between diabetic kidney disease and ELMO1 variation may involve as yet undiscovered functional variants or complex interactions with other biological variables.

This decreased expression is due to defective potassium homeostasis. We further elucidate here the mechanism for regulation of gene expression by the intracellular level of K+. The leucine hypersensitivity of a ptsN (encoding EIIANtr) mutant was suppressed by deleting rpoS, encoding the stationary phase sigma factor. Despite intracellular levels of sigma factors comparable to the wild-type strain, most of the genes downregulated in a ptsN mutant are controlled by sigma 70, while all the upregulated genes are controlled by sigma S, implying that the balance of sigma activities is modified by ptsN deletion. This change of sigma factor activities in the deletion mutant was found to be due to increased levels of K+. In vitro transcription assays demonstrated that a sigma 70 controlled gene and a sigma S controlled gene were differentially affected by potassium concentration. Biochemical studies revealed that K+ is responsible for sigma factor competition by differentially influencing the binding of sigma 70 and sigma S to core RNA polymerase. Taken together, the data suggest that EIIANtr controls sigma factor selectivity by regulating the intracellular K+ level.

Mutations in the VHL gene are also found in the majority of sporadic clear cell renal carcinoma, the most common malignant neoplasm of the human kidney. Inactivation of VHL ubiquitin ligase is associated with normoxic stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha and 2-alpha (HIF-1 alpha and HIF-2 alpha), transcriptional regulators of tumor angiogenesis, invasion, survival, and glucose utilization. HIF-2 alpha has been particularly implicated in the development of CCRCC. Although several inhibitors of HIF-1 alpha have been described, these drugs typically have a minimal affect on HIF-2 alpha. 786-O is a VHL-deficient CCRCC cell line that constitutively expresses only HIF-2 alpha and is therefore suitable for the screening of novel HIF-2 alpha inhibitors. Using this cell line, we have identified emetine as a specific inhibitor of HIF-2 alpha protein stability and transcriptional activity. Without altering HIF-2 alpha mRNA level, emetine rapidly and dramatically down-regulated HIF-2 alpha protein expression in 786-O cells. HIF-2 alpha down-regulation was accompanied by HIF-2 alpha ubiquitination and was reversed by proteasome inhibition. Emetine-induced HIF-2 alpha down-regulation was confirmed in three additional VHL-renal cancer cell lines, was insensitive to the prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor dimethyloxaloyl glycine, and did not require neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated-8, suggesting that emetine accesses a previously undescribed cullin-independent proteasome degradation pathway for HIF-2 alpha. These data support the use of emetine or structurally related compounds as useful leads for the identification of novel HIF-2 alpha inhibitors.

It has been shown that production of new hippocampal neurons is necessary for amelioration of stress-induced behavioral changes by antidepressants in animal models of depression. The survival of newly born hippocampal neurons is decreased by chronic psychosocial stress and increased by exposure to enriched environments. These observations suggest the existence of a link between hippocampal neurogenesis, stress-induced behavioral changes, and the beneficial effects of enriched environment. To show causality, we subjected transgenic mice with conditionally suppressed neurogenesis to psychosocial stress followed by environmental enrichment. First, we showed that repeated social defeat coupled with chronic exposure to an aggressor produces robust and quantifiable indices of submissive and depressive-like behaviors; second, subsequent exposure to an enriched environment led to extinction of the submissive phenotype, while animals exposed to an impoverished environment retained the submissive phenotype; and third, enrichment was not effective in reversing the submissive and depressive-like behaviors in transgenic mice lacking neurogenesis. Our data show two main findings. First, living in an enriched environment is highly effective in extinguishing submissive behavioral traits developed during chronic social stress, and second, these effects are critically dependent on adult neurogenesis, indicating that beneficial behavioral adaptations are dependent on intact adult neurogenesis.

A unique subtype, NEM6, maps to chromosome 15q21-q23 in two pedigrees, but the causative gene has not been determined. We conducted clinical examination and myopathological studies in a new NEM family. Genotyping and gene screening were accomplished by searching known and 18 new candidate genes. The disease started in childhood by affecting proximal and distal muscles and causing slowness of movements. Muscle biopsies showed numerous nemaline rods and core-like formations. Suggestive linkage to chromosome 15q22-q23 was established. Genes known to be mutated in NEM or core-rod myopathy were screened and excluded. No pathogenic mutations were identified in other candidate genes. The disease in this Spanish family was classified as NEM6. It is phenotypically similar and probably allelic to the two previously reported NEM6 pedigrees. Further studies of these families will lead to the identification of the NEM6 gene.

A forward mutational assay was also developed, which is a gain of function assay that also detects bps exclusively. Later work with both assays focused on establishing that a mutation was fixed in vivo using single-burst analysis: determining the number of mutant progeny virus from an electroporated cell by dividing the culture into aliquots before scoring mutants. We review results obtained from single-burst analysis, including testing the hypothesis that high mutant frequencies (MFs) of G:C to A:T mutation recovered by transgenic targets include significant numbers of unrepaired G:T mismatches. Comparison between the Phi X174 and lad transgenes in mouse spleen indicates that the spontaneous bps mutation frequency per nucleotide (mf(n)) is not significantly lower for Phi X174 than for lacl; the response to ENU is also comparable. For the lad transgene, the spontaneous bps mf(n) is highly age-dependent up to 12 weeks of age and the linear trend extrapolates at conception to a frequency close to the human bps mf(n) per generation of 1.7 x 10(-8). Unexpectedly, we found that the lad somatic (spleen) bps mf(n) per cell division at early ages was estimated to be the same as for the human germ-line. The bps mf(n) in bone marrow for the gpt transgene is comparable to spleen for the lad and Phi X174 transgenes. We conclude that the G:C to A:T transition is characteristic of spontaneous in vivo mutation and that the MFs measured in these transgenes at early ages reflect the expected accumulation of in vivo mutation typical of endogenous mammalian mutation rates. However, spontaneous and induced mf(n)s per nucleotide for the cif gene in spleen are 5-10 times higher than for these other transgenes. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Materials & methods: PEG layers were attached to SWCNTs and dispersed in aqueous media and characterized using dynamic light scattering, scanning transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity was assessed in vitro using Annexin-V assay, and the distribution and clearance pathways in mice were studied by histological staining and Raman spectroscopy. Efficacy of PEG-SWCNT-cisplatin for tumor growth inhibition was studied in mice. Results & discussion: PEG-SWCNTs were efficiently dispersed in aqueous media compared with controls, and did not induce apoptosis in vitro. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, and Raman bands for SWCNTs in tissues from several vital organs from mice injected intravenously with nanotube bioconjugates revealed that control SWCNTs were lodged in lung tissue as large aggregates compared with the PEG-SWCNTs, which showed little or no accumulation. Characteristic SWCNT Raman bands in feces revealed the presence of bilary or renal excretion routes. Attachment of cisplatin on bioconjugates was visualized with Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy. PEG-SWCNT-cisplatin with the attached targeting ligand EGF successfully inhibited growth of head and neck tumor xenografts in mice. Conclusions: PEG-SWCNTs, as opposed to control SWCNTs, form more highly dispersed delivery vehicles that, when loaded with both cisplatin and EGF, inhibit growth of squamous cell tumors.

TI Positive feedback between p53 and TRF2 during telomere-damage signalling and cellular senescence SO NATURE CELL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID DNA-DAMAGE; BETA-CATENIN; STEM-CELLS; IN-VIVO; TUMOR SUPPRESSION; PROTEIN; UBIQUITIN; CANCER; DYSFUNCTION; SIAH-1 AB The telomere-capping complex shelterin protects functional telomeres and prevents the initiation of unwanted DNA-damage-response pathways. At the end of cellular replicative lifespan, uncapped telomeres lose this protective mechanism and DNA-damage signalling pathways are triggered that activate p53 and thereby induce replicative senescence. Here, we identify a signalling pathway involving p53, Siah1 (a p53-inducible E3 ubiquitin ligase) and TRF2 (telomere repeat binding factor 2; a component of the shelterin complex). Endogenous Siah1 and TRF2 were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, during replicative senescence with activated p53. Experimental manipulation of p53 expression demonstrated that p53 induces Siah1 and represses TRF2 protein levels. The p53-dependent ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of TRF2 are attributed to the E3 ligase activity of Siah1. Knockdown of Siah1 stabilized TRF2 and delayed the onset of cellular replicative senescence, suggesting a role for Siah1 and TRF2 in p53-regulated senescence. This study reveals that p53, a downstream effector of telomere-initiated damage signalling, also functions upstream of the shelterin complex.

TI AKAP-Lbc enhances cyclic AMP control of the ERK1/2 cascade SO NATURE CELL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PROTEIN-KINASE-A; SIGNALING PATHWAYS; IN-VIVO; B-RAF; ACTIVATION; CAMP; SCAFFOLD; INHIBITION; KSR AB Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades propagate a variety of cellular activities(1). Processive relay of signals through RAF-MEK-ERK modulates cell growth and proliferation(2,3). Signalling through this ERK cascade is frequently amplified in cancers, and drugs such as sorafenib (which is prescribed to treat renal and hepatic carcinomas) and PLX4720 (which targets melanomas) inhibit RAF kinases(4,5). Natural factors that influence ERK1/2 signalling include the second messenger cyclic AMP(6,7). However, the mechanisms underlying this cascade have been difficult to elucidate. We demonstrate that the A-kinase-anchoring protein AKAP-Lbc and the scaffolding protein kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR-1) form the core of a signalling network that efficiently relay signals from RAF, through MEK, and on to ERK1/2. AKAP-Lbc functions as an enhancer of ERK signalling by securing RAF in the vicinity of MEK1 and synchronizing protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of Ser 838 on KSR-1. This offers mechanistic insight into cAMP-responsive control of ERK signalling events. C1 [Smith, F.

Here we show that S-acyl-2-mercaptobenzamide thioester (SAMT) chemotypes inhibit HIV by modifying the NCp7 region of Gag in infected cells, thereby blocking Gag processing and reducing infectivity. The thiol produced by SAMT reaction with NCp7 is acetylated by cellular enzymes to regenerate active SAMTs via a recycling mechanism unique among small-molecule inhibitors of HIV.

TI Common variants in 22 loci are associated with QRS duration and cardiac ventricular conduction SO NATURE GENETICS LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; QT INTERVAL DURATION; RICH REPEAT PROTEIN; HEART-RATE; TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR; GENE-EXPRESSION; PR INTERVAL; SYSTEM; DISEASE; ELECTROCARDIOGRAM AB The QRS interval, from the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the S wave on an electrocardiogram, reflects ventricular depolarization and conduction time and is a risk factor for mortality, sudden death and heart failure. We performed a genomewide association meta-analysis in 40,407 individuals of European descent from 14 studies, with further genotyping in 7,170 additional Europeans, and we identified 22 loci associated with QRS duration ( P < 5 x 10(-8)). These loci map in or near genes in pathways with established roles in ventricular conduction such as sodium channels, transcription factors and calcium-handling proteins, but also point to previously unidentified biologic processes, such as kinase inhibitors and genes related to tumorigenesis. We demonstrate that SCN10A, a candidate gene at the most significantly associated locus in this study, is expressed in the mouse ventricular conduction system, and treatment with a selective SCN10A blocker prolongs QRS duration. These findings extend our current knowledge of ventricular depolarization and conduction. C1 [Sotoodehnia, Nona] Univ Washington, Dept Med, Div Cardiol, Seattle, WA 98195 USA.

In addition to the known loci at LIN28B (P = 5.4 x 10(-60)) and 9q31.2 (P = 2.2 x 10(-33)), we identified 30 new menarche loci (all P < 5 x 10(-8)) and found suggestive evidence for a further 10 loci (P < 1.9 x 10(-6)). The new loci included four previously associated with body mass index (in or near FTO, SEC16B, TRA2B and TMEM18), three in or near other genes implicated in energy homeostasis (BSX, CRTC1 and MCHR2) and three in or near genes implicated in hormonal regulation (INHBA, PCSK2 and RXRG). Ingenuity and gene-set enrichment pathway analyses identified coenzyme A and fatty acid biosynthesis as biological processes related to menarche timing.

This natural response protects against circulating subtypes but necessitates production of new vaccines annually. Newer vaccine approaches have succeeded in eliciting broadly neutralizing antibodies to highly conserved yet vulnerable regions of the hemagglutinin and suggest potential pathways for the development of universal influenza vaccines.

Recovery after stroke is associated with axonal sprouting in cortex adjacent to the infarct. The molecular program that induces a mature cortical neuron to sprout a new connection after stroke is not known. We selectively isolated neurons that sprout a new connection in cortex after stroke and compared their whole-genome expression profile to that of adjacent, non-sprouting neurons. This 'sprouting transcriptome' identified a neuronal growth program that consists of growth factor, cell adhesion, axonal guidance and cytoskeletal modifying molecules that differed by age and time point. Gain and loss of function in three distinct functional classes showed new roles for these proteins in epigenetic regulation of axonal sprouting, growth factor-dependent survival of neurons and, in the aged mouse, paradoxical upregulation of myelin and ephrin receptors in sprouting neurons. This neuronal growth program may provide new therapeutic targets and suggest mechanisms for age-related differences in functional recovery.

A third disorder, G6Pase-beta deficiency, shares similarities with this group of diseases. G6Pase-alpha and G6Pase-beta are G6P hydrolases in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, which depend on G6PT to transport G6P from the cytoplasm into the lumen. A functional complex of G6PT and G6Pase-alpha maintains interprandial glucose homeostasis, whereas G6PT and G6Pase-beta act in conjunction to maintain neutrophil function and homeostasis. Patients with GSD-Ia and those with GSD-Ib exhibit a common metabolic phenotype of disturbed glucose homeostasis that is not evident in patients with G6Pase-beta deficiency. Patients with a deficiency in G6PT and those lacking G6Pase-beta display a common myeloid phenotype that is not shared by patients with GSD-Ia. Previous studies have shown that neutrophils express the complex of G6PT and G6Pase-beta to produce endogenous glucose. Inactivation of either G6PT or G6Pase-beta increases neutrophil apoptosis, which underlies, at least in part, neutrophil loss (neutropenia) and dysfunction in GSD-Ib and G6Pase-beta deficiency. Dietary and/or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapies are available; however, many aspects of the diseases are still poorly understood. This Review will address the etiology of GSD-Ia, GSD-Ib and G6Pase-beta deficiency and highlight advances in diagnosis and new treatment approaches, including gene therapy.

Here we show that BRCA1 expression is controlled by a dynamic equilibrium between transcriptional coactivators and co-repressors that govern histone acetylation and DNA accessibility at the BRCA1 promoter. Eviction of the transcriptional co-repressor and metabolic sensor, C terminal-binding protein (CtBP), has a central role in this regulation. Loss of CtBP from the BRCA1 promoter through estrogen induction, depletion by RNA interference or increased NAD(+)/NADH ratio leads to HDAC1 dismissal, elevated histone acetylation and increased BRCA1 transcription. The active control of chromatin marks, DNA accessibility and gene expression at the BRCA1 promoter by this 'metabolic switch' provides an important molecular link between caloric intake and tumor suppressor expression in mammary cells.

This process is characterized by a slow initiation phase with specific pauses, followed by a fast elongation phase. We report a single-molecule study that monitors the dynamics of individual initiation complexes, comprised of vRNA, tRNA and HIV reverse transcriptase (RT). RT transitions between two opposite binding orientations on tRNA-vRNA complexes, and the prominent pausing events are related to RT binding in a flipped orientation opposite to the polymerization-competent configuration. A stem-loop structure within the vRNA is responsible for maintaining the enzyme predominantly in this flipped orientation. Disruption of the stem-loop structure triggers the initiation-to-elongation transition. These results highlight the important role of the structural dynamics of the initiation complex in directing transitions between early reverse transcription phases. (C) 2010 Nature America, Inc.

Histologic evaluation of baseline kidney biopsies is an inconsistent tool to predict graft outcomes, which might be assisted by gene expression analysis. Methods. We evaluated 49 consecutive kidney graft biopsies obtained post-reperfusion in 18 deceased donors (DD) and 31 living donors (LD) at our center. Biopsies were evaluated and scored using Banff criteria. Low-density real-time polymerase chain reaction arrays were used to measure intragraft expression of 95 genes associated with programmed cell death, fibrosis, innate and adaptive immunity and oxidative stress signaling. A pool of 25 normal kidney biopsies was used as control. We applied a stepwise forward selection procedure to build a multiple regression model predicting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 1 year after transplant using baseline clinical characteristics and gene expression levels. Results. DD grafts displayed a pattern of gene expression remarkably different from LD, including an increased expression of complement protein C3, and chemokines, CXCL1 and CXCL2, consistent with the proinflammatory setting of ischaemia-reperfusion injury. There was no association between any of the reperfusion biopsy histological features and either renal function at 1 year post-transplant or risk of acute rejection. Conversely, older donor age (R(2) = 0.17, P < 0.001) and higher integrin beta 2 gene expression levels (incremental R(2) versus Donor Age-only model = 0.23, P < 0.001) jointly predicted lower eGFR at 1 year after transplant (multiple regression R(2) = 0.40). Patients with higher ITG beta 2 expression levels in baseline biopsies showed lower eGFR, higher levels of proteinuria and more transplant glomerulopathy on the 1-year per-protocol biopsies. Conclusion. ITG beta 2 gene expression in reperfusion biopsies may represent a prognostic marker for kidney transplant recipients, potentially helpful in shaping patients' treatment. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings. C1 [Cravedi, Paolo] Mario Negri Inst Pharmacol Res, I-24100 Bergamo, Italy.

Human Neuralized1 (NEURL1) was investigated as a potential tumor suppressor in medulloblastoma (MB). The gene is located at 10q25.1, a region demonstrating frequent loss of heterozygosity in tumors. In addition, prior publications have shown that the Notch pathway is functional in a proportion of MB tumors and that Neurl1 is only expressed in differentiated cells in the developing cerebellum. In this study, NEURL1 expression was downregulated in MB compared with normal cerebellar tissue, with the lowest levels of expression in hedgehog-activated tumors. Control of gene expression by histone modification was implicated mechanistically; loss of 10q, sequence mutation, and promoter hypermethylation did not play major roles. NEURL1-transfected MB cell lines demonstrated decreased population growth, colony-forming ability, tumor sphere formation, and xenograft growth compared with controls, and a significant increase in apoptosis was seen on cell cycle and cell death analysis. Notch pathway inhibition occurred on the exogenous expression of NEURL1, as shown by decreased expression of the Notch ligand, Jagged1, and the target genes, HES1 and HEY1. From these studies, we conclude that NEURL1 is a candidate tumor suppressor in MB, at least in part through its effects on the Notch pathway.

Recent reports demonstrated improvements in motor function induced by noninvasive anodal direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) in young healthy adults. Here we tested the hypothesis that a single session of anodal tDCS over left M1 could facilitate performance of right upper extremity tasks required for activities of daily living (Jebsen-Taylor hand function test, JTT) in older subjects relative to Sham in a double-blind cross-over study design. We found (a) significant improvement in JTT function with tDCS relative to Sham that outlasted the stimulation period by at least 30 min, (b) that the older the subjects the more prominent this improvement appeared and (c) that consistent with previous results in younger subjects, these effects were not accompanied by any overt undesired side effect. We conclude that anodal tDCS applied over M1 can facilitate performance of skilled hand functions required for activities of daily living in older subjects. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

GluA1 knockout KO mice display schizophrenia- and depression-related abnormalities. Here, we asked whether GluA1 KO show mania-related abnormalities. KO were tested for behavior in approach/avoid conflict tests, responses to repeated forced swim exposure, and locomotor responses under stress and after psychostimulant treatment. The effects of rapid dopamine depletion and treatment with lithium or a GSK-3 beta inhibitor (SB216763) on KO locomotor hyperactivity were tested. Results showed that KO exhibited novelty- and stress-induced locomotor hyperactivity, reduced forced swim immobility and alterations in approach/avoid conflict tests. Psychostimulant treatment and dopamine depletion exacerbated KO locomotor hyperactivity. Lithium, but not SB216763, treatment normalized KO anxiety-related behavior and partially reversed hyperlocomotor behavior, and also reversed elevated prefrontal cortex levels of phospho-MARCKS and phospho-neuromodulin. Collectively, these findings demonstrate mania-related abnormalities in GluA1 KO and, combined with previous findings, suggest this mutant may provide a novel model of features of schizoaffective disorder.

TIP39-positive fibers from these areas do not form individual bundles or fascicles, they join other pathways to reach their innervated brain areas. Fibers arise from TIP39 perikarya located in the subparafascicular area and the posterior intralaminar complex of the thalamus could be followed to the hypothalamus. After uni- and bilateral posterolateral surgical deafferentations of the hypothalamus, accumulation of TIP39 immunoreactivity was observed in the fibers caudal to the knife cut, while it disappeared completely rostral to the transection. In serial sections of the forebrain, we could follow TIP39-ir fibers coursing within the zona incerta and the supraoptic decussations. TIP39-positive fibers that join the incerto-hypothalamic pathway reach the medio-dorsal part of the hypothalamus and form moderate to high density networks in the dorsomedial and paraventricular nuclei. The other set of TIP39-positive axons from the subthalamic area join the fibers of the supraoptic decussations and run in an antero-medial direction through the most ventral portion of the hypothalamus up to the retrochiasmatic area, where they crossover. A certain portion of these TIP39-positive fibers terminates in the territories of the arcuate and the medial preoptic nuclei, as well as in the retrochiasmatic area.

Abel and I met first in 1987 at a meeting in the United States. There, I had the opportunity to introduce myself to him who was a world-famous person, one of the leaders in neurochemistry. Abel was, as usual, very kind. After a long and friendly conversation, we both agreed that there was a need for mapping amino acids and various enzymes in the human, as well as in rat brains. Thus, we decided to do a little work together. We therefore pooled our expertise and entered upon a several-year journey in neuroscience that was both fascinating and somewhat exhausting. We eventually succeeded in publishing 15 articles. The high number of citations of these publications is a clear indication that our expectations were fulfilled. We are still interacting in neuroscience, hopefully we will continue these studies in the future. Abel is a great friend, always kind and very helpful. It is always an intellectual experience for me to meet him either in New York, or Budapest, or somewhere in the globe. I enjoy his great sense of humor and his attitude towards life. He is always positive, optimistic, never complaining-not like me. I feel lucky and privileged to have him for a scientific partner and be a friend of him. With profound appreciation, I wish Abel good health and further creative activity in research.

We tested the behavioural consequences of activity disruption in left BA40 and BA44, key regions of the phonological loop, on language comprehension using 1 Hz rTMS. Comprehension was assessed by means of two tasks: a sentence-to-picture matching task, with sentences varying in length and syntactic complexity (Experiment 1), and a sentence verification task (Experiment 2). rTMS over left BA40 significantly reduced accuracy for syntactically complex sentences and long, but syntactically simpler sentences, while rTMS over left BA44 significantly reduced accuracy only for syntactically complex sentences. rTMS applied over left BA40 also impaired performance on sentences in which word order was crucial. We suggest that the neural correlates of the phonological loop, left BA40 and BA44, are both involved in the comprehension of syntactically complex sentences, while only left BA40, corresponding to the short-term store, is recruited for the comprehension of long but syntactically simple sentences. Therefore, in contrast with the dominant view, we showed that sentence comprehension is a function of the phonological loop. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. C1 [Lauro, Leonor J.

Longitudinal studies of children and adolescents demonstrate a general pattern of childhood peaks of gray matter followed by adolescent declines, functional and structural increases in connectivity and integrative processing, and a changing balance between limbic/subcortical and frontal lobe functions, which extends well into young adulthood. Twin studies have demonstrated that genetic factors are responsible for a significant amount of variation in pediatric brain morphometry. Longitudinal studies have shown specific genetic polymorphisms affect rates of cortical changes associated with maturation. Although over-interpretation and premature application of neuroimaging findings for diagnostic purposes remains a risk, converging data from multiple imaging modalities is beginning to elucidate the influences of genetic factors on brain development and implications of maturational changes for cognition, emotion, and behavior.

Other studies, however, have suggested that the neuropeptide oxytocin can specifically affect social behaviors, which would suggest separable mechanisms at the pharmacological level. Thus, we examined the hypothesis that oxytocin would specifically affect social and not financial information in a decision making task, in which participants learned which of the two faces, one smiling and the other angry or sad, was most often being rewarded. We found that oxytocin specifically decreased aversion to angry faces, without affecting integration of positive or negative financial feedback or choices related to happy vs sad faces.

TI Is Slow-Onset Long-Acting Monoamine Transport Blockade to Cocaine as Methadone is to Heroin? Implication for Anti-Addiction Medications SO NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cocaine; addiction; heroin; methadone; 31,345; DA transporter ID DRUG-SEEKING BEHAVIOR; HETEROLOGOUSLY EXPRESSING CELLS; HUMAN DOPAMINE TRANSPORTER; POTENTIAL MEDICATIONS; SURFACE EXPRESSION; BRAIN-STIMULATION; UPTAKE INHIBITORS; OPIOID AGONISTS; INDUCED RELAPSE; ABUSE AB The success of methadone in treating opiate addiction has suggested that long-acting agonist therapies may be similarly useful for treating cocaine addiction. Here, we examined this hypothesis, using the slow-onset long-acting monoamine reuptake inhibitor 31,345, a trans-aminotetralin analog, in a variety of addiction-related animal models, and compared it with methadone's effects on heroin's actions in the same animal models. Systemic administration of 31,345 produced long-lasting enhancement of electrical brain-stimulation reward (BSR) and extracellular nucleus accumbens (NAc) dopamine (DA). Pretreatment with 31,345 augmented cocaine-enhanced BSR, prolonged cocaine-enhanced NAc DA, and produced a long-term (24-48 h) reduction in cocaine self-administration rate without obvious extinction pattern, suggesting an additive effect of 31,345 with cocaine. In contrast, methadone pretreatment not only dose-dependently inhibited heroin self-administration with an extinction pattern but also dose-dependently inhibited heroin-enhanced BSR and NAc DA, suggesting functional antagonism by methadone of heroin's actions. In addition, 31,345 appears to possess significant abuse liability, as it produces dose-dependent enhancement of BSR and NAc DA, maintains a low rate of self-administration behavior, and dose-dependently reinstates drug-seeking behavior. In contrast, methadone only partially maintains self-administration with an extinction pattern, and fails to induce reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior. These findings suggest that 31,345 is a cocaine-like slow-onset long-acting monoamine transporter inhibitor that may act as an agonist therapy for cocaine addiction. However, its pattern of action appears to be significantly different from that of methadone. Ideal agonist substitutes for cocaine should fully emulate methadone's actions, that is, functionally antagonizing cocaine's action while blocking monoamine transporters to augment synaptic DA.

As PTSD patients have exaggerated startle responses, a fear-potentiated startle paradigm in rats may have face validity as an animal model to examine the efficacy of oxytocin in treating these symptoms. Oxytocin (0, 0.01, 0.1, or 1.0 mu g, subcutaneously) was given either 30 min before fear conditioning, immediately after fear conditioning, or 30 min before fear-potentiated startle testing to assess its effects on acquisition, consolidation, and expression of conditioned fear, respectively. Startle both in the presence and absence of the fear-conditioned light was significantly diminished by oxytocin when administered at acquisition, consolidation, or expression. There was no specific effect of oxytocin on light fear-potentiated startle. In an additional experiment, oxytocin had no effects on acoustic startle without previous fear conditioning. Further, in a context-conditioned test, previous light-shock fear conditioning did not increase acoustic startle during testing when the fear-conditioned light was not presented. The data suggest that oxytocin did not diminish cue-specific conditioned nor contextually conditioned fear, but reduced background anxiety. This suggests that oxytocin has unique effects of decreasing background anxiety without affecting learning and memory of a specific traumatic event. Oxytocin may have antianxiety properties that are particularly germane to the hypervigilance and exaggerated startle typically seen in PTSD patients.

The 100 mg/kg dose decreased both treadmill performance and locomotor activity, caused hypothermia, and potentiated pentobarbital-induced sleep. The last two effects and no toxicity were observed at 60 and 22 mg/kg, respectively. In chemical (pentylenetetrazole, picrotoxin, N-methyl-D-aspartate, pilocarpine) and electrical (maximal electroshock) seizure tests, neither seizures not death were prevented by 60 mg/kg alpha-asarone which, however, exhibited protective-like effects (delay in the onset of clonic and/or tonic seizures and/or in the death of mice). Magnesium deficiency-dependent audiogenic seizures responded to non-toxic doses of alpha-asarone (60 mg/kg and less): 22 mg/kg protecting 50% of tested animals. Because these seizures respond to both anti-seizure and antioxidant compounds, antioxidant properties of alpha-asarone were studied, indicating 5 Units of superoxide dismutase-like activity per mg alpha-asarone. Treatment of mice by alpha-asarone (daily dose of 100 mg/kg during 7 days) induced brain antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and reductase) in striatum and hippocampus and to a lesser extent in cortex. In view of recent findings about deleterious roles of chronic inflammatory/oxidant stresses in human epilepsy outcome, antioxidant and inductive properties of alpha-asarone are proposed to be coherent bases for traditional clinical efficacy.

We evaluated the compatibility of these two techniques by obtaining P-31 NMR spectra of iron-labeled and unlabeled immobilized C2C12 myoblast cells in vitro. Broadened but usable P-31 spectra were obtained and peak area ratios of resonances corresponding to intracellular metabolites showed no significant differences between labeled and unlabeled cell populations. We conclude that P-31 NMR spectra can be obtained from cells labeled with sufficient iron to permit visualization by H-1 imaging protocols and that these spectra have sufficient quality to be used to assess metabolic status. This result introduces the possibility of using localized P-31 MRS to evaluate the viability of iron-labeled therapeutic cells as well as surrounding host tissue in vivo.

This study examined differences in body fat distribution and adipocytokines in obese older persons with and without metabolic syndrome. Additionally, we examined whether adipocytokines mediate the association between body fat distribution and metabolic syndrome. Data were from 729 obese men and women (BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)), aged 70-79 participating in the Health, Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) study. Thirty-one percent of these obese men and women did not have metabolic syndrome. Obese persons with metabolic syndrome had significantly more abdominal visceral fat (men: P = 0.04; women: P < 0.01) and less thigh subcutaneous fat (men: P = 0.09; women: P < 0.01) than those without metabolic syndrome. Additionally, those with metabolic syndrome had significantly higher levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) than individuals without metabolic syndrome. Per standard deviation higher in visceral fat, the likelihood of metabolic syndrome significantly increased in women (odds ratio (OR): 2.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.59-2.94). In contrast, the likelihood of metabolic syndrome decreased in both men (OR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.39-0.80) and women (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.34-0.69) with each standard deviation higher in thigh subcutaneous fat. These associations were partly mediated by adipocytokines; the association between thigh subcutaneous fat and metabolic syndrome was no longer significant in men. In summary, metabolically healthy obese older persons had a more favorable fat distribution, characterized by lower visceral fat and greater thigh subcutaneous fat and a more favorable inflammatory profile compared to their metabolically unhealthy obese counterparts.

The aim of this study was to compare IMAT as measured at the erector spinae level by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a well-recognized gold standard method to evaluate fat content inside muscles, and histology estimates. In 18 healthy elderly men and women with a wide range of BMI (25.05-35.58 kg/m(2)), undergoing elective vertebral surgery, IMAT within the erector spinae muscle was evaluated by MRI, by body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and histological evaluation of intraoperative biopsy sample. The concordance between IMAT/total area (TA) ratio evaluated by MRI and histological examination was analyzed employing Lin's concordance correlation coefficient and the procedure proposed by Bland and Altman. Two thresholds to distinguish between muscle and IMAT calculated, respectively, by 20 and 10% reduction of the gray-level intensity evaluated by MRI from surrounding subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were used. With a 20% reduction, calculated IMAT/TA as evaluated by MRI on average exceeds histological evaluation by 21.79%, whereas by reducing the threshold by 10% agreement between MRI and histology improved with a 12.42% difference. Our data show a good degree of concordance between IMAT assessment by MRI and histology and seems to show that agreement between the two methods could be improved by using a more restrictive threshold between muscle and fat.

We sought to identify NAFLD-associated genes and elucidate gene networks and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Methods Quantitative global hepatic gene expression analysis was performed on 53 morbidly obese Caucasian subjects undergoing bariatric surgery (27 with NAFLD and 26 controls). After standardization of data, gene expression profiles were compared between patients with NAFLD and controls. The set of genes that significantly correlated with NAFLD was further analyzed by hierarchical clustering and ingenuity pathways analyses. Results There were 25,643 quantitative transcripts, of which 108 were significantly associated with NAFLD (p < 0.001). Canonical pathway analysis in the NAFLD-associated gene clusters showed that the hepatic fibrosis signaling was the most significant pathway in the up-regulated NAFLD gene cluster containing three (COL1A1, IL10, IGFBP3) significantly altered genes, whereas the endoplasmic reticulum stress and protein ubiquitination pathways were the most significant pathways in the down-regulated NAFLD gene cluster, with the first pathway containing one (HSPA5) and the second containing two (HSPA5, USP25) significantly altered genes. The four primary gene networks associated with NAFLD were involved in cell death, immunological disease, cellular movement, and lipid metabolism with several significantly altered "hub" genes in these networks. Conclusions This study reveals the canonical pathways and gene networks associated with NAFLD in morbidly obese Caucasians. The application of gene network analysis highlights the transcriptional relationships among NAFLD-associated genes and allows identification of hub genes that may represent high-priority candidates for NAFLD.

METHODS: Participants were healthy, sexually active women aged 18-40 years. Measured outcomes included pregnancy rates, continuation rates, adverse events, and acceptability. The primary study outcome was contraceptive efficacy. Sample size was calculated at a 2.5% significance level using a one-sided test based on assumed 6-month pregnancy probability of 15% in the nonoxynol-9 group. Sample size was sufficient to reject, with 80% power, the null hypothesis that pregnancy probability in the C31G arm would be more than 5% higher. RESULTS: Nine hundred thirty-two women were randomized in the C31G group and 633 in the nonoxynol-9 group. For randomized patients with at least one episode of coitus (modified intent-to-treat group), 6-month pregnancy probabilities were 12.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.3-14.7%) and 12.0% (95% CI 8.7-15.3%) for C31G and nonoxynol-9, respectively. Twelve-month pregnancy probabilities were 13.8% (95% CI 7.6-20%) for C31G and 19.8% (95% CI 10.9-28.7%) for nonoxynol-9. Two serious adverse events were deemed possibly related to study product and neither occurred in the C31G group. Three fourths of users in either group reported that they liked their assigned study product. Approximately 40% of patients discontinued prematurely for reasons other than pregnancy with 11% lost to follow-up. CONCLUSION: C31G demonstrated noninferior contraceptive efficacy compared with nonoxynol-9. C31G may provide another marketable option for women seeking spermicidal contraception.

CA Consortium Safe Labor TI Contemporary Patterns of Spontaneous Labor With Normal Neonatal Outcomes SO OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ABNORMAL LABOR; ACTIVE LABOR; MANAGEMENT; CERVICOGRAPHS; PRIMIGRAVIDAE; INDUCTION; ALERT; LINE AB OBJECTIVE: To use contemporary labor data to examine the labor patterns in a large, modern obstetric population in the United States. METHODS: Data were from the Consortium on Safe Labor, a multicenter retrospective study that abstracted detailed labor and delivery information from electronic medical records in 19 hospitals across the United States. A total of 62,415 parturients were selected who had a singleton term gestation, spontaneous onset of labor, vertex presentation, vaginal delivery, and a normal perinatal outcome. A repeated-measures analysis was used to construct average labor curves by parity. An interval-censored regression was used to estimate duration of labor, stratified by cervical dilation at admission and centimeter by centimeter. RESULTS: Labor may take more than 6 hours to progress from 4 to 5 cm and more than 3 hours to progress from 5 to 6 cm of dilation. Nulliparous and multiparous women appeared to progress at a similar pace before 6 cm. However, after 6 cm, labor accelerated much faster in multiparous than in nulliparous women. The 95(th) percentiles of the second stage of labor in nulliparous women with and without epidural analgesia were 3.6 and 2.8 hours, respectively. A partogram for nulliparous women is proposed. CONCLUSION: In a large, contemporary population, the rate of cervical dilation accelerated after 6 cm, and progress from 4 cm to 6 cm was far slower than previously described. Allowing labor to continue for a longer period before 6 cm of cervical dilation may reduce the rate of intrapartum and subsequent repeat cesarean deliveries in the United States.

METHODS: We used a cross-sectional nationally representative survey of 950 primary care physicians familiar with human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to assess adherence to management guidelines by analyzing responses to two clinical vignettes of a 35-year-old woman who had Pap and HPV tests results: 1) discordant (normal Pap and positive HPV) or 2) mildly abnormal (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance Pap and negative HPV). Analyses included multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS: For the discordant test results, 54.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 51-57.6%) of physicians recommended both Pap and HPV testing in 6-12 months, adhering to management guidelines. For the mildly abnormal results, only 12.2% (95% CI 10-14.7%) had a guideline-adherent recommendation of Pap testing in 12 months with no HPV test. In multivariable analyses, no significant difference among physicians' specialties was observed for the discordant results. For the mildly abnormal results, physician specialty was associated with guideline adherence in which obstetrician-gynecologists had the highest percent of adherence (19.8%) compared with family and general practitioners (9.3%) and internists (11%) (P<.001). CONCLUSION: Even for the most common abnormal results, many physicians reported recommendations that did not adhere to current management guidelines. Evidence-based interventions are needed to improve adherence to management guidelines for the newer HPV DNA test.

TI Intracellular Traffic of Oligodeoxynucleotides In and Out of the Nucleus: Effect of Exportins and DNA Structure SO OLIGONUCLEOTIDES LA English DT Article ID ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES; GENE-EXPRESSION; LEPTOMYCIN B; CELLS; INFLAMMASOME AB The delivery of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) into cells is widely utilized for antisense, antigene, aptamer, and similar approaches to regulate gene and protein activities based upon the ODNs' sequence-specific recognition. Short pieces of DNA can also be generated in biological processes, for example, after degradation of viral or bacterial DNA. However, the mechanisms that regulate intracellular trafficking and localization of ODNs are not fully understood. Here we study the effects of major transporters of microRNA, exportin-1 (Exp1) and exportin-5 (Exp5), on the transport of single-stranded ODNs in and out of the nucleus. For this, we employed a fluorescent microscopy-based assay to quantitatively measure the redistribution of ODNs between the nucleus and cytoplasm of live cells. By measuring the fluorescent signal of the nuclei we observed that after delivery into cells via cationic liposomes ODNs rapidly accumulated inside nuclei. However, after removal of the ODN/liposome containing media, we found re-localization of ODNs from the nuclei to cytoplasm of the cells over the time course of several hours. Downregulation of the Exp5 gene by siRNA resulted in a slight increase of ODN uptake into the nucleus, but the kinetics of ODN efflux to the cytoplasm was not affected. Inhibition of Exp1 with leptomycin B somewhat slowed down the clearance of ODNs from the nucleus; however, within 6 hours most of the ODN were still being cleared form the nucleus. ODNs that could form intramolecular G-quadruplex structures behaved differently. They also accumulated in nuclei, although at a lesser extent than unstructured ODN, but they remained there for up to 20 hours after transfection, causing significant cell death. We conclude that Exp1 and Exp5 are not the major transporters of our ODNs out of the nucleus, and that the transport of ODNs is strongly affected by their secondary structure.

There are many agents that inhibit IGF1R in oncology clinical development, and in some cases, they have been associated with rapid tumor regression. However, it is not clear by which process these targeted agents induce cancer cell death and how to predict such tumor responses. Here, we showed that IGF1R antibody led to rapid cell death and tumor regression in some rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells. Mechanistic analysis revealed a rapid onset of mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis, including mitochondrial depolarization, cytochrome C release and the activation of specific caspases. The antibody sensitive cells had greater dependence on AKT for maintaining downstream signaling and the expression of a constitutively active AKT, which restored AKT-signaling in these cells, inhibited anti-IGF1R induced cell death. Further analysis showed IGF1R antibody-induced hypophosphorylation of BAD and activation of downstream BAX. Interestingly, the examination of RMS cell lines and tumors revealed an inverse correlation between elevated IGF1R and Bcl-2 level (P = 0.033), with the sensitive cells lacking Bcl-2 expression. The overexpression of BAD specific target, Bcl-x(L), conferred resistance, whereas Bcl-x(L) knockdown sensitized cells lacking Bcl-2 to anti-IGF1R-induced cell death. We propose that RMS pathogenesis involves increased IGF1R expression that enhances AKT and Bcl-x(L)-mediated cell survival, and the blockage of IGF1R results in inhibition of survival signal from Bcl-x(L) and cell death in the sensitive Bcl-2 negative cells.

Observations of actin staining within thin, tubulin-based microtentacle (McTN) protrusions in suspended MDA-MB-231 tumor cells, prompted an investigation of whether McTNs are structural or functional analogs of invadopodia. We show here that MDA-MB-231 cells are capable of producing invadopodia and McTNs, both of which contain F-actin. Invadopodium formation was enhanced by the expression of a constitutively active c-Src kinase, and repressed by the expression of dominant-negative, catalytically inactive form of c-Src. In contrast, expression of inactive c-Src significantly increased McTN formation. Direct inhibition of c-Src with the SU6656 inhibitor compound also significantly enhanced McTN formation, but suppressed invadopodia, including the appearance of F-actin cores and phospho-cortactin foci, as well as completely blocking focal degradation of ECM. In addition, silencing of Tks5 in Src-transformed fibroblasts blocked invadopodia without affecting McTNs. Genetic modification of c-Src activity that promoted McTN formation augmented capillary retention of circulating tumor cells in vivo and rapid re-attachment of suspended cells in vitro, even though invadopodia were strongly suppressed. These results indicate that McTNs are capable of enhancing tumor cell reattachment, even in the absence of Tks5 and active Src, and define separate cytoskeletal mechanisms and functions for McTNs and invadopodia.

Hence, we sought to determine if CtBP1 affects expression of the tumor suppressor Brca1 in head and neck tissue, as downregulation of Brca1 begins at the early stages of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). We found that CtBP1 represses Brca1 transcription by binding to the E2F4 site of the Brca1 promoter. Additionally, the recruitment of CtBP1 to the Brca1 promoter is redox-dependent, that is, increased at high NADH levels in hypoxic conditions. Further, immunostaining using a human HNSCC tissue array revealed that nuclear CtBP1 staining began to accumulate in hyperplasic lesions and HNSCCs, this staining correlated with Brca1 downregulation in these lesions. Pharmacological disruption of CtBP1 binding to Brca1 promoter by the antioxidant Tempol, which reduces NADH levels, relieved CtBP1-mediated repression of Brca1, leading to increased DNA repair in HNSCC cells. As tumor cells are generally hypoxic with increased NADH levels, the dynamic control of Brca1 by a 'metabolic switch' found in this study not only provides an important link between tumor metabolism and tumor suppressor expression but also suggests a potential chemo preventative or therapeutic strategy for HNSCC by blocking NADH-dependent CtBP1 activity at early stages of HNSCC carcinogenesis.

GBM patients have a median survival of less than 2 years. GBM is characterized by fast cell proliferation, infiltrative migration, and by the induction of angiogenesis. MicroRNAs and polycomb group (PcG) proteins have emerged as important regulators of gene expression. Methods: Here we determined that miR-101 is down-regulated in GBM, resulting in overexpression of the miR-101 target PcG protein EZH2, a histone methyltransferase affecting gene expression profiles in an epigenetic manner. Results: Inhibition of EZH2 in vitro by pre-miR-101, EZH2 siRNA, or small molecule DZNep, attenuated GBM cell growth, migration/invasion, and GBM-induced endothelial tubule formation. In addition, for each biological process we identified ontology-associated transcripts that significantly correlate with EZH2 expression. Inhibition of EZH2 in vivo by systemic DZNep administration in a U87-Fluc-mCherry GBM xenograft mouse imaging model resulted in reduced tumor growth. Conclusion: Our results indicate that EZH2 has a versatile function in GBM progression and that its overexpression is at least partly due to decreased miR-101 expression. Inhibition of EZH2 may be a potential therapeutic strategy to target GBM proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis.cancer, microRNA, Policomb group, glioblastoma, angiogenesis C1 [Smits, Michiel; Nilsson, Jonas; Mir, Shahryar E.; van der Stoop, Petra M.; Hulleman, Esther; Hamer, Phillip C. de Witt; Cloos, Jacqueline; Noske, David P.; Wurdinger, Thomas] Vrije Univ Amsterdam Med Ctr, Canc Ctr Amsterdam, Dept Neurosurg, Neurooncol Res Grp, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

COX-2 promotes the release of the pro-inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which acts on its cell surface G protein-coupled receptors EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. Here, we investigated the role of PGE2 and its receptors in cellular proliferation in HNSCC. The expression of COX-2 and EP1-4 was examined in immortalized oral epithelial cells and in a representative panel of HNSCC cell lines, and based on these data EP1-EP3 and COX-2 expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a large clinical sample collection using HNSCC tissue microarrays. The ability of selective COX-2 inhibition to block PGE2 secretion was measured by ELISA specific assays. The effects of PGE2 on cell proliferation were evaluated using PGE2, its stable analog, and EP2 and EP3-specific synthetic agonists. The results presented here show that HNSCC tumoral lesions and their derived cell lines constitutively express COX-2 and the EP1, EP2 and EP3 receptors for PGE2. HNSCC cells secrete PGE2, which can be suppressed by low concentrations of COX-2 selective inhibitors, without inhibiting cell proliferation. Exogenously added stable PGE2 and EP3-specific agonists induce DNA synthesis in all HNSCC cell lines tested. Overall, our study supports the emerging notion that PGE2 produced in the tumor microenvironment by the overexpression of COX-2 in tumoral and inflammatory cells may promote the growth of HNSCC cells in an autocrine and paracrine fashion by acting on PGE2 receptors that are widely expressed in most HNSCC cancer cells. In particular, our findings suggest that EP3 receptor may play a more prominent role in HNSCC cell growth promotion, thus providing a rationale for the future evaluation of this PGE2 receptor as a target for HNSCC prevention strategies.

Unlike most existing monocular camera-based systems, a stereo vision system is constructed in our model to overcome the problems of illumination variation, shadow interference, and object occlusion. In each frame, a sparse set of feature points are identified in the camera coordinate system, and then projected to the 2D ground plane. A kernel-based clustering algorithm is proposed to group the projected points according to their height values and locations on the plane. By producing clusters, the number, position, and orientation of objects in the surveillance scene can be determined for online multi-object detection and tracking. Experiments on both indoor and outdoor applications with complex scenes show the advantages of the proposed system. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Sorafenib is an inhibitor of multiple kinases (e.g., VEGF receptors, PDGFR, FLT3, RET, BRAF, KIT) and is approved by FDA for treatment of two adult cancers. The activity of sorafenib was evaluated against the PPTP's in vitro and in vivo panels. Procedures. Sorafenib was evaluated against the PPTP in vitro panel using 96-hr exposure at concentrations ranging from 1.0 nM to 10.0 mu M. It was tested against the PPTP in vivo panels at a dose of 60 mg/kg administered by oral gavage daily for 5 days per week, repeated for 6 weeks. Results. In vitro sorafenib demonstrated cytotoxic activity, with a median IC(50) value of 4.3 mu M. Twenty of 23 cell lines had IC(50) values between 1.0 and 10.0 mu M. A single cell line (Kasumi-1) with an activating KIT mutation had an IC(50) value <1.0 mu M (IC(50) = 0.02 mu M). In vivo sorafenib induced significant differences in event-free survival (EFS) distribution compared to control in 27 of 36 (75%) of the evaluable solid tumor xenografts and in 1 of 8 (12.5%) of the evaluable ALL xenografts. Sorafenib induced tumor growth inhibition meeting criteria for intermediate activity (EFS T/C) in 15 of 34 (44%) evaluable solid tumor xenografts. No xenografts achieved an objective response. Conclusions. The primary in vitro activity of sorafenib was noted at concentrations above 1 mu M, with the exception of a more sensitive cell line with an activating KIT mutation. The primary in vivo effect for sorafenib was tumor growth inhibition, which was observed across multiple histotypes. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2010;55:1126-1133. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

For this report cytarabine was studied in vitro against a panel of 23 pediatric cancer cell lines and in vivo against 6 Ewing sarcoma xenografts. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines were the most sensitive to cytarabine in vitro (median IC(50) 9 nM), while Ewing sarcoma cell lines showed intermediate sensitivity (median IC(50) 232 nM). Cytarabine at a dose of 150 mg/kg administered daily 5x failed to significantly inhibit growth of five xenograft models, but reduced growth rate of the A673 xenograft by 50%. Cytarabine shows no differential in vitro activity against Ewing sarcoma cell lines and is ineffective in vivo against Ewing sarcoma xenografts at the dose and schedule studied.

Methods: Forty-nine prepubertal HIV-infected children had measurements of viral load (VL), CD4(+) lymphocyte count and percentage, serum lipids, apolipoprotein AI/B, IGF-1, IGFBP-1, and IGFBP-3, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and IL-6 at baseline and 48 weeks of ART. Results: Baseline levels were detectable (>0.1 pg/mL) for IL-1 beta in 28 of 48, and for TNF-alpha and Il-6 in all 49 children. TNF-alpha decreased with ART (P < 0.001) and IL-6 demonstrated a similar trend (P = 0.065). Children with 48-week VL <400 copies/mL had greater declines in TNF-alpha (mean 45%) than subjects with higher VL (5%; P = 0.009). Each 10% improvement in CD4% was associated with 26% lower TNF-alpha (P = 0.002) and 31% lower IL-6 (P = 0.016). Greater reductions in TNF-alpha were associated with lower total/HDL cholesterol ratio (P = 0.003) at week 48. Conclusions: In HIV-infected children initiating or changing ART, PIC were detectable at baseline and decreased over 48 weeks. Better immunologic responses were associated with greater reductions in TNF-alpha and IL-6. Reductions in TNF-alpha were associated with improved total/HDL cholesterol ratio.

METHODS: Data were collected prospectively for infants weighing 401 to 1500 g who were born and/or cared for at one of the study centers participating in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network in 1994-2008. Risk of death and morbidities, including patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late-onset sepsis (LOS), retinopathy of prematurity, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), were compared between VLBW infants with DS and infants in the other groups. RESULTS: Infants with DS were at increased risk of death (adjusted relative risk: 2.47 [95% confidence interval: 2.00-3.07]), PDA, NEC, LOS, and BPD, relative to infants with no BDs. Decreased risk of death (relative risk: 0.40 [95% confidence interval: 0.31-0.52]) and increased risks of NEC and LOS were observed when infants with DS were compared with infants with other non-DS chromosomal anomalies. Relative to infants with nonchromosomal BDs, infants with DS were at increased risk of PDA and NEC. CONCLUSION: The increased risk of morbidities among VLBW infants with DS provides useful information for counseling parents and for anticipating the need for enhanced surveillance for prevention of these morbidities.

Schneeweiss, Sebastian TI Identification of hospitalizations for intentional self-harm when E-codes are incompletely recorded SO PHARMACOEPIDEMIOLOGY AND DRUG SAFETY LA English DT Article DE intentional self-harm; suicide; depression ID SUICIDE; ADULTS; SAFETY; RISK AB Context Suicidal behavior has gained attention as an adverse outcome of prescription drug use. Hospitalizations for intentional self-harm, including suicide, can be identified in administrative claims databases using external cause of injury codes (E-codes). However, rates of E-code completeness in US government and commercial claims databases are low due to issues with hospital billing software. Objective To develop an algorithm to identify intentional self-harm hospitalizations using recorded injury and psychiatric diagnosis codes in the absence of E-code reporting. Methods We sampled hospitalizations with an injury diagnosis (ICD-9 800-995) from two databases with high rates of E-coding completeness: 1999-2001 British Columbia, Canada data and the 2004 US Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Our gold standard for intentional self-harm was a diagnosis of E950-E958. We constructed algorithms to identify these hospitalizations using information on type of injury and presence of specific psychiatric diagnoses. Results The algorithm that identified intentional self-harm hospitalizations with high sensitivity and specificity was a diagnosis of poisoning, toxic effects, open wound to elbow, wrist, or forearm, or asphyxiation; plus a diagnosis of depression, mania, personality disorder, psychotic disorder, or adjustment reaction. This had a sensitivity of 63%, specificity of 99% and positive predictive value (PPV) of 86% in the Canadian database. Values in the US data were 74, 98, and 73%. PPV was highest (80%) in patients under 25 and lowest those over 65 (44%). Conclusions The proposed algorithm may be useful for researchers attempting to study intentional self-harm in claims databases with incomplete E-code reporting, especially among younger populations.

Cannabinoid Receptors and Their Ligands: Beyond CB1 and CB2 SO PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS LA English DT Review ID PROTEIN-COUPLED-RECEPTOR; FREE FATTY-ACIDS; ANANDAMIDE-INDUCED VASORELAXATION; PROLIFERATOR-ACTIVATED RECEPTORS; VANILLOID TYPE-1 RECEPTORS; CA2+-ACTIVATED K+ CHANNELS; TRIGEMINAL SENSORY NEURONS; DEPENDENT VASCULAR ACTIONS; POTENTIAL CATION CHANNELS; N-ARACHIDONOYL-DOPAMINE AB There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2). Ligands activating these G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) include the phytocannabinoid Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, numerous synthetic compounds, and endogenous compounds known as endo-cannabinoids. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists have also been developed. Some of these ligands activate or block one type of cannabinoid receptor more potently than the other type. This review summarizes current data indicating the extent to which cannabinoid receptor ligands undergo orthosteric or allosteric interactions with non-CB1, non-CB2 established GPCRs, deorphanized receptors such as GPR55, ligand-gated ion channels, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, and other ion channels or peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptors. From these data, it is clear that some ligands that interact similarly with CB1 and/or CB2 receptors are likely to display significantly different pharmacological profiles. The review also lists some criteria that any novel "CB3" cannabinoid receptor or channel should fulfil and concludes that these criteria are not currently met by any non-CB1, non-CB2 pharmacological receptor or channel. However, it does identify certain pharmacological targets that should be investigated further as potential CB3 receptors or channels. These include TRP vanilloid 1, which possibly functions as an ionotropic cannabinoid receptor under physiological and/or pathological conditions, and some deorphanized GPCRs. Also discussed are 1) the ability of CB1 receptors to form heteromeric complexes with certain other GPCRs, 2) phylogenetic relationships that exist between CB1/CB2 receptors and other GPCRs, 3) evidence for the existence of several as-yet-uncharacterized non-CB1, non-CB2 cannabinoid receptors; and 4) current cannabinoid receptor nomenclature.

Adjunct medications may improve the effectiveness and/or safety of opioid analgesics. This study compared interactions between fentanyl and either the noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist ketamine or the delta-opioid receptor agonist SNC162 [(+)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-[(2S,5R)-2,5-dimethyl-4-(2-propenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-(3-phenyl)methyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide] in two behavioral assays in rhesus monkeys. An assay of thermal nociception evaluated tail-withdrawal latencies from water heated to 50 and 54 C. An assay of schedule-controlled responding evaluated response rates maintained under a fixed-ratio 30 schedule of food presentation. Effects of each drug alone and of three mixtures of ketamine + fentanyl (22:1, 65:1. 195:1 ketamine/fentanyl) or SNC162 + fentanyl (59:1, 176:1, 528:1 SNC162/fentanyl) were evaluated in each assay. All drugs and mixtures dose-dependently decreased rates of food-maintained responding, and drug proportions in the mixtures were based on relative potencies in this assay. Ketamine and SNC162 were inactive in the assay of thermal antinociception, but fentanyl and all mixtures produced dose-dependent antinociception. Drug interactions were evaluated using dose-addition and dose-ratio analysis. Dose-addition analysis revealed that interactions for all ketamine/fentanyl mixtures were additive in both assays. SNC162/fentanyl interactions were usually additive, but one mixture (176:1) produced synergistic antinociception at 50 C. Dose-ratio analysis indicated that ketamine failed to improve the relative potency of fentanyl to produce antinociception vs. rate suppression, whereas two SNC162/fentanyl mixtures (59:1 and 176:1) increased the relative potency of fentanyl to produce antinociception. These results suggest that delta agonists may produce more selective enhancement than ketamine of mu agonist-induced antinociception. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

However, proteins may also be functionally expressed in the defined Sf9 cell environment. According to the literature, the pharmacology of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) functionally reconstituted in 519 cells is similar to the receptor properties in mammalian cells. Sf9 cells express both recombinant GPCRs and G-proteins at much higher levels than mammalian cells. Sf9 cells can be grown in suspension culture, providing an inexpensive way of obtaining large protein amounts. Co-infection with various baculoviruses allows free combination of GPCRs with different G-proteins. The absence of constitutively active receptors in Sf9 cells provides an excellent signal-to background ratio in functional assays, allowing the detection of agonist-independent receptor activity and of small ligand-induced signals including partial agonistic and inverse agonistic effects. Insect cell G alpha(i)-like proteins mostly do not couple productively to mammalian GPCRs. Thus, unlike in mammalian cells, Sf9 cells do not require pertussis toxin treatment to obtain a G alpha(i)-free environment. Co-expression of GPCRs with G alpha(i1), G alpha(i2), G alpha(i3) or G alpha(o) in Sf9 cells allows the generation of a selectivity profile for these G alpha(i/o)-isoforms. Additionally. GPCR-G-protein combinations can be compared with defined 1:1 stoichiometry by expressing GPCR-G alpha fusion proteins. Sf9 cells can also be employed for ligand screening in medicinal chemistry programs, using radioligand binding assays or functional assays, like the steady-state GTPase- or [(35)S]GTP gamma S binding assay. This review shows that Sf9 cells are a versatile model system to investigate the pharmacological properties of GPCRs. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Although the first microphthalmia mutation was discovered among the descendants of a mouse that was irradiated for the purpose of mutagenesis, the mutation most likely was not radiation induced but occurred spontaneously in one of the parents of a later breeding. Although Mitf might eventually have been identified by other molecular genetic techniques, it was first cloned from a chance transgene insertion at the microphthalmia locus. And although Mitf was found to encode a member of a well-known transcription factor family, its analysis might still be in its infancy had Mitf not turned out to be of crucial importance for the physiology and pathology of many distinct organs, including eye, ear, immune system, bone, and skin, and in particular for melanoma. In fact, near seven decades of Mitf research have led to many insights about development, function, degeneration, and malignancies of a number of specific cell types, and it is hoped that these insights will one day lead to therapies benefitting those afflicted with diseases originating in these cell types.

CA Australo-Anglo-Amer Spondyloarthrit Res Consortium TI Association of Variants at 1q32 and STAT3 with Ankylosing Spondylitis Suggests Genetic Overlap with Crohn's Disease SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION; INFLAMMATORY-BOWEL-DISEASE; SUSCEPTIBILITY LOCI; PSORIASIS; SACROILIITIS; PREVALENCE; SCAN AB Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory arthritic condition. Overt inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurs in about 10% of AS patients, and in addition 70% of AS cases may have subclinical terminal ileitis. Spondyloarthritis is also common in IBD patients. We therefore tested Crohn's disease susceptibility genes for association with AS, aiming to identify pleiotropic genetic associations with both diseases. Genotyping was carried out using Sequenom and Applied Biosystems TaqMan and OpenArray technologies on 53 markers selected from 30 Crohn's disease associated genomic regions. We tested genotypes in a population of unrelated individual cases (n = 2,773) and controls (n = 2,215) of white European ancestry for association with AS. Statistical analysis was carried out using a Cochran-Armitage test for trend in PLINK. Strong association was detected at chr1q32 near KIF21B (rs11584383, P = 1.66 x 10(-10), odds ratio (OR) = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.68-0.82). Association with disease was also detected for 2 variants within STAT3 (rs6503695, P = 4.6 x 10(-4). OR = 0.86 (95% CI: 0.79-0.93); rs744166, P = 2.6 x 10(-5), OR = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91)). Association was confirmed for IL23R (rs11465804, P = 1.2 x 10(-5), OR = 0.65 (95% CI: 0.54-0.79)), and further associations were detected for IL12B (rs10045431, P = 5.2 x 10(-5), OR = 0.83 (95% CI: 0.76-0.91)), CDKAL1 (rs6908425, P = 1.1 x 10(-4), OR = 0.82 (95% CI: 0.74-0.91)), LRRK2/MUC19 (rs11175593, P = 9.9 x 10(-5), OR = 1.92 (95% CI: 1.38-2.67)), and chr13q14 (rs3764147, P = 5.9 x 10(-4), OR = 1.19 (95% CI: 1.08-1.31)). Excluding cases with clinical IBD did not significantly affect these findings. This study identifies chr1q32 and STAT3 as ankylosing spondylitis susceptibility loci. It also further confirms association for IL23R and detects suggestive association with another 4 loci. STAT3 is a key signaling molecule within the Th17 lymphocyte differentiation pathway and further enhances the case for a major role of this T-lymphocyte subset in ankylosing spondylitis. Finally these findings suggest common aetiopathogenic pathways for AS and Crohn's disease and further highlight the involvement of common risk variants across multiple diseases.

TI Histone Deacetylases Suppress CGG Repeat-Induced Neurodegeneration Via Transcriptional Silencing in Models of Fragile X Tremor Ataxia Syndrome SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID FMR1 MESSENGER-RNA; CEREBELLAR-TREMOR/ATAXIA-SYNDROME; PREMUTATION CARRIERS; DROSOPHILA MODEL; FULL MUTATION; MOUSE MODEL; MEDIATED NEURODEGENERATION; INTRANUCLEAR INCLUSIONS; PROTEIN EXPRESSION; PERIPHERAL-BLOOD AB Fragile X Tremor Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is a common inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a CGG trinucleotide repeat in the 5'UTR of the fragile X syndrome (FXS) gene, FMR1. The expanded CGG repeat is thought to induce toxicity as RNA, and in FXTAS patients mRNA levels for FMR1 are markedly increased. Despite the critical role of FMR1 mRNA in disease pathogenesis, the basis for the increase in FMR1 mRNA expression is unknown. Here we show that overexpressing any of three histone deacetylases (HDACs 3, 6, or 11) suppresses CGG repeat-induced neurodegeneration in a Drosophila model of FXTAS. This suppression results from selective transcriptional repression of the CGG repeat-containing transgene. These findings led us to evaluate the acetylation state of histones at the human FMR1 locus. In patient-derived lymphoblasts and fibroblasts, we determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation that there is increased acetylation of histones at the FMR1 locus in pre-mutation carriers compared to control or FXS derived cell lines. These epigenetic changes correlate with elevated FMR1 mRNA expression in pre-mutation cell lines. Consistent with this finding, histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitors repress FMR1 mRNA expression to control levels in pre-mutation carrier cell lines and extend lifespan in CGG repeat-expressing Drosophila. These findings support a disease model whereby the CGG repeat expansion in FXTAS promotes chromatin remodeling in cis, which in turn increases expression of the toxic FMR1 mRNA. Moreover, these results provide proof of principle that HAT inhibitors or HDAC activators might be used to selectively repress transcription at the FMR1 locus.

TI Self-Mating in the Definitive Host Potentiates Clonal Outbreaks of the Apicomplexan Parasites Sarcocystis neurona and Toxoplasma gondii SO PLOS GENETICS LA English DT Article ID ENHYDRA-LUTRIS-NEREIS; FREE-RANGE CHICKENS; EQUINE PROTOZOAL MYELOENCEPHALITIS; GENETIC DIVERSITY; INTERMEDIATE HOSTS; SEA OTTERS; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION; CONGENITAL TOXOPLASMOSIS; SEXUAL RECOMBINATION; BACTERIAL PATHOGENS AB Tissue-encysting coccidia, including Toxoplasma gondii and Sarcocystis neurona, are heterogamous parasites with sexual and asexual life stages in definitive and intermediate hosts, respectively. During its sexual life stage, T. gondii reproduces either by genetic out-crossing or via clonal amplification of a single strain through self-mating. Out-crossing has been experimentally verified as a potent mechanism capable of producing offspring possessing a range of adaptive and virulence potentials. In contrast, selfing and other life history traits, such as asexual expansion of tissue-cysts by oral transmission among intermediate hosts, have been proposed to explain the genetic basis for the clonal population structure of T. gondii. In this study, we investigated the contributing roles self-mating and sexual recombination play in nature to maintain clonal population structures and produce or expand parasite clones capable of causing disease epidemics for two tissue encysting parasites. We applied high-resolution genotyping against strains isolated from a T. gondii waterborne outbreak that caused symptomatic disease in 155 immune-competent people in Brazil and a S. neurona outbreak that resulted in a mass mortality event in Southern sea otters. In both cases, a single, genetically distinct clone was found infecting outbreak-exposed individuals. Furthermore, the T. gondii outbreak clone was one of several apparently recombinant progeny recovered from the local environment. Since oocysts or sporocysts were the infectious form implicated in each outbreak, the expansion of the epidemic clone can be explained by self-mating. The results also show that out-crossing preceded selfing to produce the virulent T. gondii clone. For the tissue encysting coccidia, self-mating exists as a key adaptation potentiating the epidemic expansion and transmission of newly emerged parasite clones that can profoundly shape parasite population genetic structures or cause devastating disease outbreaks.

TI Quantifying the Spatial Dimension of Dengue Virus Epidemic Spread within a Tropical Urban Environment SO PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES LA English DT Article ID STRUCTURED ADDITIVE REGRESSION; MARK-RELEASE-RECAPTURE; AEDES-AEGYPTI DIPTERA; SPACE-TIME ANALYSIS; NORTH QUEENSLAND; PUERTO-RICO; POINT PATTERNS; AUSTRALIA; DISPERSAL; INFECTION AB Background: Dengue infection spread in naive populations occurs in an explosive and widespread fashion primarily due to the absence of population herd immunity, the population dynamics and dispersal of Ae. aegypti, and the movement of individuals within the urban space. Knowledge on the relative contribution of such factors to the spatial dimension of dengue virus spread has been limited. In the present study we analyzed the spatio-temporal pattern of a large dengue virus-2 (DENV-2) outbreak that affected the Australian city of Cairns (north Queensland) in 2003, quantified the relationship between dengue transmission and distance to the epidemic's index case (IC), evaluated the effects of indoor residual spraying (IRS) on the odds of dengue infection, and generated recommendations for city-wide dengue surveillance and control. Methods and Findings: We retrospectively analyzed data from 383 DENV-2 confirmed cases and 1,163 IRS applications performed during the 25-week epidemic period. Spatial (local k-function, angular wavelets) and space-time (Knox test) analyses quantified the intensity and directionality of clustering of dengue cases, whereas a semi-parametric Bayesian space-time regression assessed the impact of IRS and spatial autocorrelation in the odds of weekly dengue infection. About 63% of the cases clustered up to 800 m around the IC's house. Most cases were distributed in the NW-SE axis as a consequence of the spatial arrangement of blocks within the city and, possibly, the prevailing winds. Space-time analysis showed that DENV-2 infection spread rapidly, generating 18 clusters (comprising 65% of all cases), and that these clusters varied in extent as a function of their distance to the IC's residence. IRS applications had a significant protective effect in the further occurrence of dengue cases, but only when they reached coverage of 60% or more of the neighboring premises of a house. Conclusion: By applying sound statistical analysis to a very detailed dataset from one of the largest outbreaks that affected the city of Cairns in recent times, we not only described the spread of dengue virus with high detail but also quantified the spatio-temporal dimension of dengue virus transmission within this complex urban environment. In areas susceptible to non-periodic dengue epidemics, effective disease prevention and control would depend on the prompt response to introduced cases. We foresee that some of the results and recommendations derived from our study may also be applicable to other areas currently affected or potentially subject to dengue epidemics.

However, very little is known about the regulation of the enzyme. Here, we show that PDE3B is activated in response to high glucose, insulin and cAMP elevation in rat pancreatic islets and INS-1 (832/13) cells. Activation by glucose was not affected by the presence of diazoxide. PDE3B activation was coupled to an increase as well as a decrease in total phosphorylation of the enzyme. In addition to PDE3B, several other PDEs were detected in human pancreatic islets: PDE1, PDE3, PDE4C, PDE7A, PDE8A and PDE10A. We conclude that PDE3B is activated in response to agents relevant for beta-cell function and that activation is linked to increased as well as decreased phosphorylation of the enzyme. Moreover, we conclude that several PDEs are present in human pancreatic islets.

TI Inflammasome Sensor Nlrp1b-Dependent Resistance to Anthrax Is Mediated by Caspase-1, IL-1 Signaling and Neutrophil Recruitment SO PLOS PATHOGENS LA English DT Article ID BACILLUS-ANTHRACIS; LETHAL TOXIN; STERNE STRAIN; KINASE-KINASE; MOUSE MODEL; IN-VIVO; MICE; MACROPHAGES; SPORES; SUSCEPTIBILITY AB Bacillus anthracis infects hosts as a spore, germinates, and disseminates in its vegetative form. Production of anthrax lethal and edema toxins following bacterial outgrowth results in host death. Macrophages of inbred mouse strains are either sensitive or resistant to lethal toxin depending on whether they express the lethal toxin responsive or non-responsive alleles of the inflammasome sensor Nlrp1b (Nlrp1b(S/S) or Nlrp1b(R/R), respectively). In this study, Nlrp1b was shown to affect mouse susceptibility to infection. Inbred and congenic mice harboring macrophage-sensitizing Nlrp1b(S/S) alleles (which allow activation of caspase-1 and IL-1 beta release in response to anthrax lethal toxin challenge) effectively controlled bacterial growth and dissemination when compared to mice having Nlrp1b(R/R) alleles (which cannot activate caspase-1 in response to toxin). Nlrp1b(S)-mediated resistance to infection was not dependent on the route of infection and was observed when bacteria were introduced by either subcutaneous or intravenous routes. Resistance did not occur through alterations in spore germination, as vegetative bacteria were also killed in Nlrp1b(S/S) mice. Resistance to infection required the actions of both caspase-1 and IL-1 beta as Nlrp1b(S/S) mice deleted of caspase-1 or the IL-1 receptor, or treated with the Il-1 receptor antagonist anakinra, were sensitized to infection. Comparison of circulating neutrophil levels and IL-1 beta responses in Nlrp1b(S/S), Nlrp1b(R/R) and IL-1 receptor knockout mice implicated Nlrp1b and IL-1 signaling in control of neutrophil responses to anthrax infection. Neutrophil depletion experiments verified the importance of this cell type in resistance to B. anthracis infection. These data confirm an inverse relationship between murine macrophage sensitivity to lethal toxin and mouse susceptibility to spore infection, and establish roles for Nlrp1b(S), caspase-1, and IL-1 beta in countering anthrax infection.

Knowledge of the molecular structure of trimeric Env on intact viruses is important both for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying virus-cell interactions and for the design of effective immunogen-based vaccines to combat HIV/AIDS. Previous analyses of intact HIV-1 BaL virions have already resulted in structures of trimeric Env in unliganded and CD4-liganded states at similar to 20 angstrom resolution. Here, we show that the molecular architectures of trimeric Env from SIVmneE11S, SIVmac239 and HIV-1 R3A strains are closely comparable to that previously determined for HIV-1 BaL, with the V1 and V2 variable loops located at the apex of the spike, close to the contact zone between virus and cell. The location of the V1/V2 loops in trimeric Env was definitively confirmed by structural analysis of HIV-1 R3A virions engineered to express Env with deletion of these loops. Strikingly, in SIV CP-MAC, a CD4-independent strain, trimeric Env is in a constitutively "open" conformation with gp120 trimers splayed out in a conformation similar to that seen for HIV-1 BaL Env when it is complexed with sCD4 and the CD4i antibody 17b. Our findings suggest a structural explanation for the molecular mechanism of CD4-independent viral entry and further establish that cryo-electron tomography can be used to discover distinct, functionally relevant quaternary structures of Env displayed on intact viruses.

Such measurements have typically required prolonged bioassays in animals. Highly sensitive, but generally non-quantitative, prion detection methods have been developed based on prions' ability to seed the conversion of normally soluble protease-sensitive forms of prion protein to protease-resistant and/or amyloid fibrillar forms. Here we describe an approach for estimating the relative amount of prions using a new prion seeding assay called real-time quaking induced conversion assay (RT-QuIC). The underlying reaction blends aspects of the previously described quaking-induced conversion (QuIC) and amyloid seeding assay (ASA) methods and involves prion-seeded conversion of the alpha helix-rich form of bacterially expressed recombinant PrP(C) to a beta sheet-rich amyloid fibrillar form. The RT-QuIC is as sensitive as the animal bioassay, but can be accomplished in 2 days or less. Analogous to end-point dilution animal bioassays, this approach involves testing of serial dilutions of samples and statistically estimating the seeding dose (SD) giving positive responses in 50% of replicate reactions (SD(50)). Brain tissue from 263K scrapie-affected hamsters gave SD(50) values of 10(11)-10(12)/g, making the RT-QuIC similar in sensitivity to end-point dilution bioassays. Analysis of bioassay-positive nasal lavages from hamsters affected with transmissible mink encephalopathy gave SD(50) values of 10(3.5)-10(5.7)/ml, showing that nasal cavities release substantial prion infectivity that can be rapidly detected. Cerebral spinal fluid from 263K scrapie-affected hamsters contained prion SD(50) values of 10(2.0)-10(2.9)/ml. RT-QuIC assay also discriminated deer chronic wasting disease and sheep scrapie brain samples from normal control samples. In principle, end-point dilution quantitation can be applied to many types of prion and amyloid seeding assays. End point dilution RT-QuIC provides a sensitive, rapid, quantitative, and high throughput assay of prion seeding activity.

Cross-sectional data were collected from a national sample of 1,495 tenth graders who participated in the 2005/06 Health Behaviors in School-aged Children U.S. Survey. Victimization, depression and substance use were all measured as latent variables. Substance use was measured by drinking alcohol, being drunk, smoking cigarettes and using marijuana in the past 30 days. Multiple-group structural equation modeling showed that victimization was linked to substance use in both males and females. Among females, depression was positively associated with both victimization and substance use and mediated the association between the two latter variables. Among males, depression was associated with victimization but not with substance use. Results highlight the elevated risk for victimization and substance use problems that depression poses among adolescent females.

Through mutational analysis at the +2 amino acid position of recombinant Ig alpha, we examined the effect of all 20 amino acids on protein expression. The results showed that amino acids at the +2 position affected 10-fold in the recombinant protein expression. Specifically, Ala, Cys, Pro, Ser, Thr, and Lys at the +2 position resulted in significantly higher expression of recombinant Ig alpha than other amino acids, while Met, His and Glu resulted in greatly reduced protein expression. This expression difference depended on the amino acid instead of their codon usage. Consistent with the mutational results, a statistically significant enrichment in Ala and Ser at the +2 position was observed among highly expressed Escherichia coli genes. This work suggests a general approach to enhance protein expression by incorporating an Ala or Ser after the initiation codon. Published by Elsevier Inc.

The size and nature of these assemblies vary greatly and are affected by many factors. Here, we present models of soluble hexameric assemblies of A beta 42 and suggest how they can lead to larger assemblies and eventually to fibrils. The common element in most of these assemblies is a six-stranded beta-barrel formed by the last third of A beta 42, which is composed of hydrophobic residues and glycines. The hydrophobic core beta-barrels of the hexameric models are shielded from water by the N-terminus and central segments. These more hydrophilic segments were modeled to have either predominantly beta or predominantly alpha secondary structure. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to analyze stabilities of the models. The hexameric models were used as starting points from which larger soluble assemblies of 12 and 36 subunits were modeled. These models were developed to be consistent with numerous experimental results. C1 [Shafrir, Yinon; Durell, Stewart R.; Guy, H. Robert] NCI, Cell Biol Lab, CCR, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

A beta peptide forms assemble both in aqueous solution and in lipid membranes. It has been proposed that deleterious effects occur when the peptides interact with membranes, possibly by forming Ca(2+) permeant ion channels. In the accompanying manuscript, we propose models in which the C-terminus third of six A beta 42 peptides forms a six-stranded beta-barrel in highly toxic soluble oligomers. Here we extend this hypothesis to membrane-bound assemblies. In these A beta models, the hydrophobic beta-barrel of a hexamer may either reside on the surface of the bilayer, or span the bilayer. Transmembrane pores are proposed to form between several hexamers. Once the beta-barrels of six hexamers have spanned the bilayer, they may merge to form a more stable 36-stranded beta-barrel. We favor models in which parallel beta-barrels formed by N-terminus segments comprise the lining of the pores. These types of models explain why the channels are selective for cations and how metal ions, such as Zn(2+), synthetic peptides that contain histidines, and some small organic cations may block channels or inhibit formation of channels. Our models were developed to be consistent with microscopy studies of A beta assemblies in membranes, one of which is presented here for the first time. C1 [Shafrir, Yinon; Durell, Stewart; Guy, H.

In the past decade, clinical proteomics has significantly evolved in terms of technology development, optimization and standardization, as well as in advanced bioinformatics data integration and analysis. Great strides have been made for characterizing a large number of proteins qualitatively and quantitatively in a proteome, including the use of sample fractionation, protein microarrays and MS. It is believed that differential proteomic analysis of high-quality clinical biospecimen (tissue and biofluids) can potentially reveal protein/peptide biomarkers responsible for cancer by means of their altered levels of expression and/or PTMs. Multiple reaction monitoring, a multiplexed platform using stable isotope dilution-MS with sensitivity and reproducibility approaching that of traditional ELISAs commonly used in the clinical setting, has emerged as a potentially promising technique for next-generation high-throughput protein biomarker measurements for diagnostics and therapeutics.

TI The quality of cancer patient experience: perspectives of patients, family members, providers and experts SO QUALITY & SAFETY IN HEALTH CARE LA English DT Article ID BREAST-CANCER; UNITED-STATES; CARE; INTERVENTION; INFORMATION; INTERNET; IMPROVE; WOMEN; WEB AB Background Anecdotes and limited evidence suggest that a significant percentage of cancer patients encounter troublesome problems in the course of their care. Methods The authors collected data about barriers to and facilitators of high-quality cancer care and innovative solutions to improve quality from three sources: focus groups with patients, family members of cancer patients and providers; site visits to cancer care providers and organisations in three American communities; and expert interviews. Results The authors' respondents consistently described a similar list of problems facing the individual with a suspicion or diagnosis of cancer and his/her family: delays in and lack of coordination of care, patient information gaps and passivity, inadequate attention to emotional and social problems, and difficulty accessing services because of inadequate insurance, limited financial resources or rural residence. The fragmentation and uncertain accountability of cancer care contribute to these issues. Respondents recommended linking patients with a care navigator or manager, using computer technology to better inform and support patients and connect providers, and reforming provider reimbursement to encourage more patient-centred care. Conclusions Cancer patients and their families have urgent needs for information and support especially early in their course. To meet these needs, early cancer care must be better organised, integrated, and patient centred. The Institute of Medicine's Model for the Delivery of Psychosocial Services appears to provide a relevant guide to delivering cancer care that better meets patient and family needs.

TI THYROID MASS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS LIVING IN THE MOST EXPOSED AREAS TO CHERNOBYL FALLOUT IN BELARUS SO RADIATION PROTECTION DOSIMETRY LA English DT Article ID RECONSTRUCTION; ACCIDENT AB This paper aims to determine the thyroid volumes in children and teenagers living in Gomel and Mogilev Oblasts, which are the areas of Belarus that were most affected by the Chernobyl accident. Results of thyroid volume measurements performed in 1991-1996 by the Sasakawa Memorial Health Foundation were used to evaluate the variation by age of the thyroid volumes for girls and boys aged from 5 to 16 y. Thyroid volumes for age groups without measurements were also estimated. For a given age and gender, the differences between children from Gomel and Mogilev Oblasts do not exceed 12 %, which is relatively small when the variability of individual values is considered. For children of a given age, the individual values show a variability characterised by geometric standard deviation (GSD) of 1.25-1.4.

TI Risk of Second Primary Thyroid Cancer after Radiotherapy for a Childhood Cancer in a Large Cohort Study: An Update from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study SO RADIATION RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID IONIZING-RADIATION; CHEMOTHERAPY; EXPOSURE; DISEASE; ACCIDENT; UKRAINE; CERVIX AB Previous studies have indicated that thyroid cancer risk after a first childhood malignancy is curvilinear with radiation dose, increasing at low to moderate doses and decreasing at high doses. Understanding factors that modify the radiation dose response over the entire therapeutic dose range is challenging and requires large numbers of subjects. We quantified the long-term risk of thyroid cancer associated with radiation treatment among 12,547 5-year survivors of a childhood cancer (leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, central nervous system cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, kidney cancer, bone cancer, neuroblastoma) diagnosed between 1970 and 1986 in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study using the most current cohort follow-up to 2005. There were 119 subsequent pathologically confirmed thyroid cancer cases, and individual radiation doses to the thyroid gland were estimated for the entire cohort. This cohort study builds on the previous case-control study in this population (69 thyroid cancer cases with follow-up to 2000) by allowing the evaluation of both relative and absolute risks. Poisson regression analyses were used to calculate standardized incidence ratios (SIR), excess relative risks (ERR) and excess absolute risks (EAR) of thyroid cancer associated with radiation dose. Other factors such as sex, type of first cancer, attained age, age at exposure to radiation, time since exposure to radiation, and chemotherapy (yes/no) were assessed for their effect on the linear and exponential quadratic terms describing the dose response relationship. Similar to the previous analysis, thyroid cancer risk increased linearly with radiation dose up to approximately 20 Gy, where the relative risk peaked at 14.6-fold (95% CI, 6.8-31.5). At thyroid radiation doses >20 Gy, a downturn in the dose response relationship was observed. The ERR model that best fit the data was linear-exponential quadratic. We found that age at exposure modified the ERR linear dose term (higher radiation risk with younger age) (P < 0.001) and that sex (higher radiation risk among females) (P = 0.008) and time since exposure (higher radiation risk with longer time) (P < 0.001) modified the EAR linear dose term. None of these factors modified the exponential quadratic (high dose) term. Sex, age at exposure and time since exposure were found to be significant modifiers of the radiation-related risk of thyroid cancer and as such are important factors to account for in clinical follow-up and thyroid cancer risk estimation among childhood cancer survivors.

TI Prevalence of Hyperthyroidism after Exposure during Childhood or Adolescence to Radioiodines from the Chornobyl Nuclear Accident: Dose-Response Results from the Ukrainian-American Cohort Study SO RADIATION RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID THYROID-DISEASES; SUBCLINICAL HYPERTHYROIDISM; AUTOIMMUNE-THYROIDITIS; RADIATION; CHILDREN; CANCER; HYPOTHYROIDISM; FALLOUT; AUTOANTIBODIES; POPULATION AB Relatively few data are available on the prevalence of hyperthyroidism (TSH concentrations of <0.3 mIU/liter, with normal or elevated concentrations of free T4) in individuals exposed to radioiodines at low levels. The accident at the Chornobyl (Chernobyl) nuclear plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986 exposed large numbers of residents to radioactive fallout, principally to iodine-131 (I-131) (mean and median doses = 0.6 Gy and 0.2 Gy). We investigated the relationship between I-131 and prevalent hyperthyroidism among 11,853 individuals exposed as children or adolescents in Ukraine who underwent an in-depth, standardized thyroid gland screening examination 12-14 years later. Radioactivity measurements taken shortly after the accident were available for all subjects and were used to estimate individual thyroid doses. We identified 76 cases of hyperthyroidism (11 overt, 65 subclinical). Using logistic regression, we tested a variety of continuous risk models and conducted categorical analyses for all subjects combined and for females (53 cases, n = 5,767) and males (23 cases, n = 6,086) separately but found no convincing evidence of a dose-response relationship between I-131 and hyperthyroidism. There was some suggestion of elevated risk among females in an analysis based on a dichotomous dose model with a threshold of 0.5 Gy chosen empirically (OR = 1.86, P = 0.06), but the statistical significance level was reduced (P = 0.13) in a formal analysis with an estimated threshold. In summary, after a thorough exploration of the data, we found no statistically significant dose-response relationship between individual I-131 thyroid doses and prevalent hyperthyroidism.

Occupational radiation-related dose-response data and recent and lifetime cancer risk data are limited for radiologists and radiologic technologists and lacking for physicians and technologists performing fluoroscopically guided procedures. Survey data demonstrate that occupational doses to radiologists and radiologic technologists have declined over time. Eighty mostly small studies of cardiologists and fewer studies of other physicians reveal that effective doses to physicians per interventional procedure vary by more than an order of magnitude. For medical radiation workers, there is an urgent need to expand the limited information on average annual, time-trend and organ doses from occupational radiation exposures and to assess lifetime cancer risks of these workers. For physicians and technologists performing interventional procedures, more information about occupational doses should be collected and long-term follow-up studies of cancer and other serious disease risks should be initiated. Such studies will help optimize standardized protocols for radiologic procedures, determine whether current radiation protection measures for medical radiation workers are adequate, provide guidance on cancer screening needs, and yield valuable insights on cancer risks associated with chronic radiation exposure.

SO RADIATION RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID TECHA RIVER COHORT; ATOMIC-BOMB SURVIVORS; SOLID CANCER; MORTALITY RISK; DOSIMETRY AB Studies of Mayak workers and people who lived along the Techa River have demonstrated significant associations between low-dose-rate radiation exposure and increased solid cancer risk. It is of interest to use the long-term follow-up data from these cohorts to describe radiation effects for specific types of cancer; however, statistical variability in the site-specific risk estimates is large. The goal of this work is to describe this variability and provide Bayesian adjusted risk estimates. We assume that the site-specific estimates can be viewed as a sample from some underlying distribution and use Bayesian methods to produce adjusted excess relative risk per gray estimates in the Mayak and Techa River cohorts. The impact of the adjustment is compared to that seen in similar analyses in the atomic bomb survivors. Site-specific risk estimates in the Mayak and Techa River cohorts have large uncertainties. Unadjusted estimates vary from implausibly large decreases to large increases, with a range that greatly exceeds that found in the A-bomb survivors. The Bayesian adjustment markedly reduced the range of the site-specific estimates for the Techa River and Mayak studies. The extreme variability in the site-specific risk estimates is largely a consequence of the small number of excess cases. The adjusted estimates provide a useful perspective on variation in the actual risks. However, additional work on interpretation of the adjusted estimates, extension of the methods used in describing effect modification, and making more use of prior knowledge is needed to make these methods useful.

While it is well known that radiation exposure increases the risk of thyroid cancer, less is known about its effects in relation to non-malignant thyroid diseases. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of high- and low-dose radiation on benign structural and functional diseases of the thyroid. We examined the results of major studies from cancer patients treated with high-dose radiotherapy or thyrotoxicosis patients treated with high doses of iodine-131, patients treated with moderate- to high-dose radiotherapy for benign diseases, persons exposed to low doses from environmental radiation, and survivors of the atomic bombings who were exposed to a range of doses. We evaluated radiation effects on structural (tumors, nodules), functional (hyper- and hypothyroidism), and autoimmune thyroid diseases. After a wide range of doses of ionizing radiation, an increased risk of thyroid adenomas and nodules was observed in a variety of populations and settings. The dose response appeared to be linear at low to moderate doses, but in one study there was some suggestion of a reduction in risk above 5 Gy. The elevated risk for benign tumors continues for decades after exposure. Considerably less consistent findings are available regarding functional thyroid diseases including autoimmune diseases. In general, associations for these outcomes were fairly weak, and significant radiation effects were most often observed after high doses, particularly for hypothyroidism. A significant radiation dose response relationship was demonstrated for benign nodules and follicular adenomas. The effects of radiation on functional thyroid diseases are less clear, partly due to the greater difficulties encountered in studying these diseases.

Physicians completed questionnaires regarding documented infections, medications, immunizations and an open-ended question about other noted exposures within 6 months before illness onset for 285 patients with probable or definite JIIM. Medical records were reviewed for 81% of the patients. Phenotypes were defined by standard clinical and laboratory measures. Results. Sixty per cent of JIIM patients had a reported exposure within 6 months before illness onset. Most patients (62%) had one recorded exposure, 26% had two and 12% had three to five exposures. Patients older than the median age at diagnosis, those with a longer delay to diagnosis and those with anti-signal recognition particle autoantibodies had a higher frequency of documented exposures [odds ratios (ORs) 95% CI 3.4, 31]. Infections were the most common exposure and represented 44% of the total number of reported exposures. Non-infectious exposures included medications (18%), immunizations (11%), stressful life events (11%) and unusual sun exposure (7%). Exposures varied by age at diagnosis, race, disease course and the presence of certain myositis autoantibodies. Conclusion. The JIIMs may be related to multiple exposures and these appear to vary among phenotypes.

TI Antigen-Activated T Cells Induce IL-12p75 Production from Dendritic Cells in an IFN-gamma-Independent Manner SO SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID INTERFERON-GAMMA; INNATE RESISTANCE; ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY; HUMAN MONOCYTES; HELPER-CELLS; INTERLEUKIN-12; P35; EXPRESSION; CYTOKINE; REQUIRES AB The addition of IL-12p75 to naive CD4(+) T cells promotes their differentiation towards a T(H)1-type cytokine pattern. Dendritic cells stimulated by LPS generate IL-12p75, but only if the environment also contains IFN-gamma. Thus, it appears that IFN-gamma is needed to start the response that will result in further production of IFN-gamma. We previously reported that paradoxically DCs produce IL-12p75 only after engaging primed, but not naive T cells. This study examines the mechanism by which primed T cells trigger IL-12p75 secretion and asks whether this induction is also dependent on the presence of IFN-gamma. Here, we show that, in contrast to LPS, primed T cells induce IL-12p75 in an IFN-gamma-independent manner. Addition of rIFN-gamma to cocultures of naive T cells with DCs did not induce IL-12p75. Moreover, antigen-activated CD4(+) T cells from wild type or IFN-gamma-deficient mice both initiated IL-12p75 production from DCs. Surprisingly, we found that synergies between three T-cell-derived factors - CD40 Ligand, IL-4 and GM-CSF - were necessary and sufficient for IL-12p75 production. These results suggest that there are at least two distinct pathways for IL-12p75 production in vivo. Furthermore, the T-cell-dependent pathway of IL-12p75 production employs molecules that are not classically associated with a T(H)1-type response. C1 [Abdi, K.; Singh, N.

In this review we summarize our current understanding of the chromatin state of the IgH as it appears just prior to the initiation of V(D)J recombination, and the implications of this structure for regulation of recombination. We also examine the role of the intron enhancer, E mu, in establishing the pre-rearrangement chromatin structure. The emerging picture shows that the IgH locus consists of independently regulated domains, each of which requires multiple levels of epigenetic changes to reach the fully activated state.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most prevalent form of vaginal infection in women of reproductive age, affecting 8% to 23%, and is the most common etiology of vaginal symptoms prompting women to seek medical care. While traditional cultivation has identified numerous BV-associated bacteria involved in these processes, recent advances in molecular biology have facilitated the detection and identification of bacteria without cultivation, some of which have not previously been described or well characterized. A more complete understanding of vaginal microbial populations resulting from the adoption of molecular tools may lead to better strategies to maintain healthy vaginal microbial communities-thus enhancing women's health-and will create opportunities to explore the role of novel bacteria in reproductive tract diseases. On November 19-20, 2008, the NIH convened a workshop of experts in the field of research and clinical practice related to BV in order to discuss how these new advances should be interpreted and applied to research in progress and collaborations between relevant disciplines. This paper summarizes the presentations of this workshop and outlines general recommendations arising from the related discussions. Future studies of BV and its associated adverse outcomes should determine if specific combinations of organisms are more pathogenic than others, and causally associated with different adverse events. Moreover, determination of causality will depend not only on more precise categorization of the vaginal microbiota, but also on variations in the host environment that may be associated with changes in bacterial communities over time. In this report, we offer suggestions and recommendations that we hope will facilitate conduct of consistent approaches to collaborative efforts towards advancing our understanding of the vaginal microbiota and its impact on human health.

For example, estimates of the sizes of populations at highest risk for HIV and AIDS are needed for designing, evaluating and allocating funding for treatment and prevention programmes. A promising approach to size estimation, relatively new to public health, is the network scale-up method (NSUM), involving two steps: estimating the personal network size of the members of a random sample of a total population and, with this information, estimating the number of members of a hidden subpopulation of the total population. We describe the method, including two approaches to estimating personal network sizes (summation and known population). We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and provide examples of international applications of the NSUM in public health. We conclude with recommendations for future research and evaluation. C1 [Stroup, Donna F.] Data Solut Inc, Decatur, GA 30031 USA. [Bernard, H.

Although many types of vignettes have been used in previous studies on moral beliefs and judgment, what is missing is a set of standardized common vignettes based in real life. The goal of this study was to provide researchers with stimuli that have values on several dimensions pertaining to moral judgment and whose underlying components are known. These values will allow researchers to select stimuli based on standardized ratings rather than on the results of pilot studies, while avoiding the limitations of the classic, abstract moral scenarios. Our study was composed of three phases, (i) collecting and shortening the vignettes, (ii) obtaining ratings of the vignettes on several dimensions including emotional intensity, degree of social norm violation, and level of harm or benefit caused and (iii) determining the underlying components of the vignettes by performing a factor analysis. We found three components that accounted for most of the variance: norm violation, social affect and intention. The resulting vignettes can be used in future parametric studies on moral judgment in behavioral, neuropsychological and functional imaging experiments.

Mentalization can be assessed using action identification paradigms, in which observers choose mentalistic (goals-focused) or mechanistic (action-focused) descriptions of targets' actions. Neural structures that play key roles in inferring goals and intentions from others' observed or imagined actions include temporo-parietal junction, ventral premotor cortex and extrastriate body area. We hypothesized that these regions play a role in action identification as well. Data collected using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) confirmed our predictions that activity in ventral premotor cortex and middle temporal gyrus near the extrastriate body area varies both as a function of the valence of the target and the extent to which actions are identified as goal-directed. In addition, the inferior parietal lobule is preferentially engaged when participants identify the actions of mentalized targets. Functional connectivity analyses suggest support from other regions, including the medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala, during mentalization. We found correlations between action identification and Autism Quotient scores, suggesting that understanding the neural correlates of action identification may enhance our understanding of the underpinnings of essential social cognitive processes.

A 26-year-old male with known HIES presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Imaging showed sigmoid diverticulitis without abscess or perforation. Conservative management with antibiotics failed, and he developed a peridiverticular abscess, which was percutaneously drained with plans for elective resection. He returned four days later with progression of his diverticulitis, requiring partial colectomy with primary anastomosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of diverticulitis in HIES. Diverticulitis is rare in younger individuals, raising the possibility that the connective tissue abnormalities of HIES patients may predispose them to colonic diverticula. Although the majority of complications are sinopulmonary and skin infections, diverticulitis should be considered in the differential of intra-abdominal processes in HIES.

Modeling prostate cancer in the mouse has shown that while Pten deletion in prostate epithelial cells leads to adenocarcinoma, combined loss of Pten and TP53 results in rapidly developing disease with greater tumor burden and early death. TP53 contributes significantly to the regulation of stem cell self-renewal, and we hypothesized that loss of Pten/TP53 would result in measurable changes in prostate cancer stem/progenitor cell properties. Clonogenic assays that isolate progenitor function in primary prostate epithelial cells were used to measure self-renewal, differentiation, and tumorigenic potential. Pten/TP53 null as compared with wild-type protospheres showed increased self-renewal activity and modified lineage commitment. Orthotopic transplantation of Pten/TP53 null cells derived from protospheres produced invasive Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN)/adenocarcinoma, recapitulating the pathology seen in primary tumors. Pten/TP53 null progenitors relative to wild type also demonstrated increased dependence on the AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and androgen receptor (AR) pathways for clonogenic and tumorigenic growth. These data demonstrate roles for Pten/TP53 in prostate epithelial stem/progenitor cell function, and moreover, as seen in patients with castrate-resistant prostate cancer, suggest for the involvement of an AR-dependent axis in the clonogenic expansion of prostate cancer stem cells.

TI Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid Agonist Regulates Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Adipocytes Through Activation of HO-1-pAKT Signaling and a Decrease in PPAR gamma SO STEM CELLS AND DEVELOPMENT LA English DT Article ID IMPROVES INSULIN SENSITIVITY; INCREASES ADIPONECTIN LEVELS; NF-KAPPA-B; HEME OXYGENASE-1; EPOXIDE HYDROLASE; ENDOTHELIAL-CELLS; ARACHIDONIC-ACID; 11,12-EPOXYEICOSATRIENOIC ACID; EPOXYGENASE METABOLITES; HYPERPOLARIZING FACTORS AB Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) expressed substantial levels of CYP2J2, a major CYP450 involved in epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) formation. MSCs synthesized significant levels of EETs (65.8 +/- 5.8 pg/mg protein) and dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) (15.83 +/- 1.62 pg/mg protein), suggesting the presence of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). The addition of an sEH inhibitor to MSC culture decreased adipogenesis. EETs decreased MSC-derived adipocytes in a concentration-dependent manner, 8,9- and 14,15-EET having the maximum reductive effect on adipogenesis. We examined the effect of 12-(3-hexylureido) dodec-8(Z)-enoic acid, an EET agonist, on MSC-derived adipocytes and demonstrated an increased number of healthy small adipocytes, attenuated fatty acid synthase (FAS) levels (P < 0.01), and reduced PPAR gamma, C/EBP alpha, FAS, and lipid accumulation (P < 0.05). These effects were accompanied by increased levels of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and adiponectin (P < 0.05), and increased glucose uptake (P < 0.05). Inhibition of HO activity or AKT by tin mesoporphyrin (SnMP) and LY2940002, respectively, reversed EET-induced inhibition of adipogenesis, suggesting that activation of the HO-1-adiponectin axis underlies EET effect in MSCs. These findings indicate that EETs decrease MSC-derived adipocyte stem cell differentiation by upregulation of HO-1-adiponectin-AKT signaling and play essential roles in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation by inhibiting PPAR gamma, C/EBP alpha, and FAS and in stem cell development. These novel observations highlight the seminal role of arachidonic acid metabolism in MSCs and suggest that an EET agonist may have potential therapeutic use in the treatment of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome.

Conditioned medium (CM) from a human embryonic germ-cell-derived cell culture, SDEC, was observed to support the growth of hESC on type I collagen (COL I) and on Matrigel (MAT) biomatricies. After 1 month, the population doubling of hESC grown in SDEC CM on COL I was equivalent to that of hESC grown in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) CM on MAT. hESC grown in SDEC CM on COL I expressed OCT4, NANOG, SSEA-4, alkaline phosphatase (AP), and TRA-1-60; retained a normal karyotype; and were capable of forming teratomas. DNA microarray analysis was used to compare the transcriptional profiles of SDEC and the less supportive WI38 and Detroit 551 human cell lines. The mRNA level of secreted frizzled-related protein (sFRP-1), a known antagonist of the WNT/beta-catenin signaling pathway, was significantly reduced in SDEC as compared with the other 2 cell lines, whereas the mRNA levels of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2 or COX-2) and prostaglandin I(2) synthase (PGIS), two prostaglandin biosynthesis genes, were significantly increased in SDEC. The level of sFRP-1 protein was significantly reduced, and levels of 2 prostaglandins that are downstream products of PTGS2 and PGIS, prostaglandin E2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1 alpha), were significantly elevated in SDEC CM compared with WI38, Detroit 551, and MEF CM. Further, addition of purified sFRP-1 to SDEC CM reduced the proliferation of hESC grown on COL I as well as MAT in a dose-dependent manner.

TI Lysine 419 targets human glucocorticoid receptor for proteasomal degradation SO STEROIDS LA English DT Article DE Glucocorticoid receptor; Proteasome inhibitor; Dexamethasone; PEST ID DOWN-REGULATION; ESTROGEN-RECEPTOR; MULTIPLE-MYELOMA; GENE-EXPRESSION; MESSENGER-RNA; 26S PROTEASOME; LIVING CELLS; PROTEIN; PHOSPHORYLATION; TRANSACTIVATION AB Glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) are members of a highly conserved family of ligand dependent transcription factors which following hormone binding undergo homologous down-regulation reducing the levels of receptor protein. This decline in human GR (hGR) is due in part to a decrease in protein receptor stability that may limit cellular responsiveness to ligand. To examine the role of the proteasome protein degradation pathway in steroid-dependent hGR responsiveness, we utilized the proteasomal inhibitors MG-132, p-lactone, and epoxomicin. HeLa cells and COS cells were treated with proteasome inhibitors in the presence of the GR agonist dexamethasone (Dex), or were pretreated with proteasomal inhibitor and then Dex. Dexamethasone induced glucocorticoid responsive reporter activity significantly over untreated controls, whereas cells treated with proteasomal inhibitors and Dex together showed 2-3-fold increase in activity. Protein sequence analysis of the hGR protein identified several candidate protein degradation motifs including a PEST element. Mutagenesis of this element at lysine 419 was done and mutant K419A hGR failed to undergo ligand dependent down-regulation. Mutant K419A hGR displayed 2-3-fold greater glucocorticoid responsive reporter activity in the presence of Dex than wild type hGR. These differences in transcriptional activity were not due to altered subcellular localization, since when the mutant K419A hGR was fused with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) it was found to move in and out of the nucleus similarly to wild type hGR. Together these results suggest that the proteasome and the identified PEST degradation motif limit steroid-dependent human glucocorticoid receptor signaling. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Approximately 30% of fine needle aspiration biopsies of the thyroid have inconclusive results. We conducted a prospective trial to determine whether clinical and molecular markers could be used in combination to improve the accuracy of thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy. Methods. Clinical, tumor genotyping for common somatic mutations (BRAF V600E, NRAS, KRAS, RET/PTC1, RET/PTC3, and NTRK1), and the gene expression levels of 6 candidate diagnostic markers were analyzed by univariate and multivariate methods in 341 patients to determine whether they could distinguish reliably benign from malignant thyroid neoplasms, and a scoring model was derived. Results. By a multivariate analysis, fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology classification, the presence of a NRAS mutation, and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 expression level were associated jointly with malignancy. The overall accuracy of the scoring model, including these 3 variables, to distinguish benign from malignant thyroid tumors was 91%, including 67% for the indeterminate and 77% for the suspicious FNA subgroups. Conclusion. Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology classification, the presence of NRAS mutation, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 messenger RNA expression levels in combination provide a greater diagnostic accuracy than fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology alone to allow selection of more definitive initial operative treatment. The sensitivity of the scoring model, however, was too low to avoid the need for diagnostic thyroidectomies for indeterminate fine needle aspiration biopsy findings. (Surgery 2010; 148:1170-7.)

TI Cannabinoid-1 Receptor Gene Deletion Has a Compartment-Specific Affect on the Dendritic and Axonal Availability of mu-Opioid Receptors and on Dopamine Axons in the Mouse Nucleus Accumbens SO SYNAPSE LA English DT Article DE development; mouse; reward; drug addiction; immunolabeling ID VENTRAL TEGMENTAL AREA; CAUDATE-PUTAMEN NUCLEUS; LONG-TERM POTENTIATION; KNOCKOUT MICE; ULTRASTRUCTURAL-LOCALIZATION; ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM; SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY; PERFORATED SYNAPSES; PROJECTION NEURONS; BRAIN-DEVELOPMENT AB Cannabinoid-type 1 (CB1) receptors are implicated in mu-opioid receptor (mu-OR)-dependent reward ascribed partially to mesolimbic dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (Acb) shell. Thus, CB1 receptor gene deletion may preferentially alter the availability of mu-ORs and/or dopamine innervation in this brain region, which is functionally distinct from the motor-associated Acb core. To test this hypothesis, we examined the electron microscopic immunolabeling of the mu-OR and the dopamine-synthesizing enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in Acb shell, and core of adult C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) and CB1-knock-out (KO) mice. The mu-OR-immunogold particles were observed in the cytoplasm and on the plasmalemma in dendrites, dendritic spines, and axon terminals throughout the Acb. Compared to WT, the Acb shell of CB1-KO mice showed a lower cytoplasmic density of mu-ORs in dendrites and fewer mu-OR labeled, but not unlabeled, dendritic spines. In this region, the CB1-KO's had a significantly enhanced plasmalemmal density of mu-OR-immunogold in axon terminals, 70% of which formed excitatory-type synapses. However, the number of both mu-OR-labeled terminals and TH-labeled small varicosities was significantly reduced in the Acb shell of CB1-KO's. These adaptations were not seen in the Acb core, where CB1-KO's had a preferentially lower dendritic plasmalemmal and total spine density of mu -OR immunogold. Our results indicate that constitutive deletion of the CBI receptor gene has a major impact on the pre and postsynaptic availability of mu-ORs at axospinous synapses and on the dopamine innervation of the Acb shell as well as the dendritic surface expression of mu-ORs in Acb core of mature rodents.

The proteasome is a high molecular weight multicatalytic protease that serves as the catalytic core of the complex Ub-dependent protein degradation pathway and is an exciting new target for the development of novel anticancer therapies. Inhibition of the proteasome, and consequently Ub-dependent proteolysis, with the small molecule pharmacologic agent bortezomib led to approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) that has subsequently been extended to other hematologic malignancies. Inhibition of the proteasome results in the intracellular accumulation of many ubiquitinated proteins that control essential cellular functions such as cellular growth and apoptosis. The accumulation of high molecular weight Ub similar to protein conjugates eventually triggers apoptosis, with tumor cells more susceptible to proteasome inhibition than non-malignant cells. The defined mechanism of action for proteasome inhibitors has not been completely characterized, not all patients respond to proteasome inhibitor-based therapy, and inevitably patients develop resistance to proteasome inhibitors. Further investigation of the Ub+proteasome system (UPS) is needed to develop more effective inhibitors, to develop agents that overcome bortezomib resistance and to avoid adverse effects such as neuropathy. Furthermore, there are newly uncovered pathways, e.g., the SUMOylation and NEDDylation pathways, which similarly attach Ub-like proteins (ULPs) to protein substrates. The functional consequence of these modifications is only beginning to emerge, but these pathways have been linked to tumorigenesis and may similarly provide therapeutic targets. The immunoproteasome is a specialized form of the proteasome that produces peptides that are presented at the cell surface as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens. Proteasome inhibitors decrease the presentation of antigenic peptides to reduce tumor cell recognition by cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) but unexpectedly increase tumor cell recognition by natural killer (NK) cells. Inhibitors of the UPS are validated, cytotoxic agents that may be further exploited in immunotherapy since they modulate tumor cell recognition by effectors of the immune system. Targeting the UPS, SUMOylation and NEDDylation pathways offers great promise in the treatment of hematologic and solid malignancies.

To investigate the effects of the Thr92Ala polymorphism on intrathyroidal thyroxine (T4) to triiodothyronine (T3) conversion, we designed prospective pharmacogenomic intervention aimed to detect differences in T3 levels after thyrotropin (TSH)-releasing hormone (TRH)-mediated TSH stimulation of the thyroid gland. Methods: Eighty-three healthy volunteers were screened and genotyped for the Thr92Ala polymorphism. Fifteen volunteers of each genotype (Thr/Thr, Thr/Ala, and Ala/Ala) underwent a 500 mcg intravenous TRH stimulation test with serial measurements of serum total T3 (TT3), free T4, and TSH over 180 minutes. Results: No differences in baseline thyroid hormone levels were seen among the study groups. Compared to the Thr/Thr group, the Ala/Ala group showed a significantly lower TRH-stimulated increase in serum TT3 at 60 minutes (12.07 +/- 2.67 vs. 21.07 +/- 2.86 ng/dL, p = 0.029). Thr/Ala subjects showed an intermediate response. Compared to Thr/Thr subjects, the Ala/Ala group showed a blunted rate of rise in serum TT3 as measured by mean time to 50% maximum delta serum TT3 (88.42 +/- 6.84 vs. 69.56 +/- 6.06 minutes, p = 0.028). Subjects attained similar maximal (180 minutes) TRH-stimulated TT3 levels. TRH-stimulated TSH and free T4 levels were not significantly different among the three genotype groups. Conclusions: The commonly occurring Thr92Ala D2 variant is associated with a decreased rate of acute TSH-stimulated T3 release from the thyroid consistent with a decrease in intrathyroidal deiodination. These data provide a proof of concept that the Thr92Ala polymorphism is associated with subtle changes in thyroid hormone homeostasis.

The purpose of this publication is to provide a standardized nomenclature and differential diagnosis for classifying microscopic lesions observed in the hepatobiliary system of laboratory rats and mice, with color microphotographs illustrating examples of some lesions. The standardized nomenclature presented in this document is also available for society members electronically on the internet (http://goreni.org). Sources of material included histopathology databases from government, academia, and industrial laboratories throughout the world. Content includes spontaneous and aging lesions as well as lesions induced by exposure to test materials. A widely accepted and utilized international harmonization of nomenclature for lesions of the hepatobiliary system in laboratory animals will decrease confusion among regulatory and scientific research organizations in different countries and provide a common language to increase and enrich international exchanges of information among toxicologists and pathologists.

TI Thyroid Follicular Lesions Induced by Oral Treatment for 2 Years with 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds in Female Harlan Sprague-Dawley Rats SO TOXICOLOGIC PATHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE carcinogenesis; dioxin; follicular cell hypertrophy; rat; thyroid ID TOXIC EQUIVALENCY FACTORS; POLYCHLORINATED-BIPHENYLS; CHLORINATED DIOXINS; POSTNATAL EXPOSURE; RISK ASSESSMENT; HORMONE STATUS; DOSE LEVELS; FOLLOW-UP; TCDD; CARCINOGENICITY AB 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and structurally-similar dioxin-like compounds affect thyroid function and morphology and thyroid hormone metabolism in animals and humans. The National Toxicology Program conducted eight 2-year gavage studies in female Harlan Sprague-Dawley rats to determine the relative potency of chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity of TCDD, 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF), 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB118), 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachloro-biphenyl (PCB153), a tertiary mixture of TCDD/PCB126/PeCDF, and two binary mixtures (PCB126/PCB153 and PCB126/PCB118). Administration of these compounds was associated with increased incidences of thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy, variably observed in the 14-, 31-, and 53-week interim and 2-year sacrifice groups. In all studies, the incidences of follicular cell adenoma and carcinoma were not increased. Decreased levels of serum thyroxine were primarily noted in the 14-or-later - week interim groups of all chemicals. Serum triiodothyronine (T3) levels were increased in the TCDD, PCB126, PeCDF, TCDD/PCB126/PeCDF, and PCB126/PCB153 studies, while decreased levels were noted in the PCB153 and PCB126/PCB118 studies. TCDD, PCB126, PCB126/PCB153, and PCB126/PCB118 increased levels of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone almost in a dose-dependent manner in the 14-week groups. These data suggest that although dioxin-like compounds alter thyroid hormones and increase follicular cell hyperplasia, there is not an increase in thyroid adenoma or carcinoma in female Sprague-Dawley rats.

In the rats, no treatment-related mortality was noted. In the mice, treatment-related mortality occurred in male and female mice in the 1,000 mg/kg dose groups. The cause of early deaths was likely related to liver necrosis. Treatment-related histopathological changes were seen in both species in the liver, nose, mesenteric lymph nodes, and thymus. In addition, in mice, changes were seen in the Peyer's patches, spleen, and mandibular lymph nodes. The no adverse effect level (NOAEL) for the liver in both species was 500 mg/kg. In the nose of rats, the NOAEL in males was 62.5 mg/kg, and in females no NOAEL was found. No NOAEL was found in the nose of female or male mice. The changes in the liver and nose were considered primary toxic effects of GTE, while the changes in other organs were considered to be secondary effects. The nose and liver are organs with high metabolic enzyme activity. The increased susceptibility of the nose and liver suggests a role for GTE metabolites in toxicity induction.

In contrast, exposure to trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] at much higher concentrations may have been carcinogenic in male rats but was not carcinogenic in mice or female rats. As part of these studies, total chromium was measured in tissues and excreta of additional groups of male rats and female mice. These data were used to infer the uptake and distribution of Cr(VI) because Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr(III) in vivo, and no methods are available to speciate tissue chromium. Comparable external doses resulted in much higher tissue chromium concentrations following exposure to Cr(VI) compared with Cr(III), indicating that a portion of the Cr(VI) escaped gastric reduction and was distributed systemically. Linear or supralinear dose responses of total chromium in tissues were observed following exposure to Cr(VI), indicating that these exposures did not saturate gastric reduction capacity. When Cr(VI) exposure was normalized to ingested dose, chromium concentrations in the liver and glandular stomach were higher in mice, whereas kidney concentrations were higher in rats. In vitro studies demonstrated that Cr(VI), but not Cr(III), is a substrate of the sodium/sulfate cotransporter, providing a partial explanation for the greater absorption of Cr(VI).

HNF4a is important in regulating hepatic expression of certain cytochrome P450s. The purpose of this study was to use mice lacking HNF4a expression in liver (HNF4a-HNull) to elucidate the role of HNF4a in regulating hepatic expression of phase II enzymes and transporters in mice. Compared with male wild-type mice, HNF4a-HNull male mouse livers had (1) markedly lower messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding the uptake transporters sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, organic anion transporting polypeptide (Oatp) 1a1, Oatp2b1, organic anion transporter 2, sodium phosphate cotransporter type 1, sulfate anion transporter 1, sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 1, the phase II enzymes Uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase (Ugt) 2a3, Ugt2b1, Ugt3a1, Ugt3a2, sulfotransferase (Sult) 1a1, Sult1b1, Sult5a1, the efflux transporters multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 6, and multidrug and toxin extrusion 1; (2) moderately lower mRNAs encoding Oatp1b2, organic cation transporter (Oct) 1, Ugt1a5, Ugt1a9, glutathione S-transferase (Gst) m4, Gstm6, and breast cancer resistance protein; but (3) higher mRNAs encoding Oatp1a4, Octn2, Ugt1a1, Sult1e1, Sult2a2, Gsta4, Gstm1-m3, multidrug resistance protein (Mdr) 1a, Mrp3, and Mrp4. Hepatic signaling of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 and pregnane X receptor appear to be activated in HNF4a-HNull mice. In conclusion, HNF4a deficiency markedly alters hepatic mRNA expression of a large number of phase II enzymes and transporters, probably because of the loss of HNF4a, which is a transactivator and a determinant of gender-specific expression and/or adaptive activation of signaling pathways important in hepatic regulation of these phase II enzymes and transporters.

However, transgenic mice expressing a constitutively active PPAR alpha in hepatocytes (VP16PPAR alpha) do not develop hepatocellular carcinomas in spite of hepatocyte proliferation and hepatomegaly; this suggests that activation of genes in nonparenchymal cells may have a critical role in PP-induced carcinogenesis. VP16PPAR alpha mice exhibited massive peroxisome proliferation and hepatomegaly as well as increased mortality upon Wy-14,643 treatment. Several genes involved in cell cycle or DNA damage repair, such as Chek1, Prkdc, Mcm, and Rad51, were significantly induced to a similar extent between wild-type and VP16PPAR alpha mice after Wy-14,643 administration. This induction was completely abolished in Ppar alpha-null mice, suggesting a PPAR alpha-dependent pathway. These data revealed a DNA damage response signaling network as an early event upon PP treatment and provide novel putative mechanisms for PP-induced hepatocellular carcinoma.

We carried out experiments to elucidate the capacity of C. elegans to metabolically activate important promutagens via CYPs. Phylogenetic comparisons confirmed an earlier report indicating a lack of CYP1 family enzymes in C. elegans. Exposure to aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)), which is metabolized in mammals by CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 family enzymes, resulted in significant DNA damage in C. elegans. However, exposure to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), which is metabolized in mammals by CYP1 family enzymes only, produced no detectable damage. To further test whether BaP exposure caused DNA damage, the toxicities of AFB(1) and BaP were compared in nucleotide excision repair (NER)-deficient (xpa-1) and NER-proficient (N2) strains of C. elegans. Exposure to AFB(1) inhibited growth more in xpa-1 than N2 nematodes, but the growth-inhibitory effects of BaP were indistinguishable in the two strains. Finally, a CYP-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reductase-deficient strain (emb-8) of C. elegans was found to be more resistant to the growth-inhibitory effect of AFB(1) exposure than N2, confirming that the AFB(1)-mediated growth inhibition resulted from CYP-mediated metabolism. Together, these results indicate that C. elegans lacks biologically significant CYP1 family-mediated enzymatic metabolism of xenobiotics. Interestingly, we also found that xpa-1 nematodes were slightly more sensitive to chlorpyrifos than were wild type. Our results highlight the importance of considering differences between xenobiotic metabolism in C. elegans and mammals when using this alternative model in pharmaceutical and toxicological research.

Exocytosis and endocytosis, mitochondrial fusion and fission, entry of enveloped viruses into host cells and release of the newly assembled virions, cell-to-cell fusion and cell division, and budding and fusion of transport carriers all proceed via topologically similar, but oppositely ordered, membrane rearrangements. The biophysical similarities and differences between membrane fusion and fission become more evident if we disregard the accompanying biological processes and consider only remodeling of the lipid bilayer. The forces that determine the bilayer propensity to undergo fusion or fission come from proteins and in most cases from membrane-bound proteins. In this review, we consider the mechanistic principles underlying the fusion and fission reactions and discuss the current hypotheses on how specific proteins act in the two types of membrane remodeling.

The molecular and cellular alterations associated with impaired neurogenesis in the aging brain are discussed. Dysfunction of presenilin-1, misprocessing of amyloid precursor protein and toxic effects of hyperphosphorylated tau and beta-amyloid probably contribute to impaired neurogenesis in AD. Because factors such as exercise, environmental enrichment and dietary energy restriction enhance neurogenesis, and protect against age-related cognitive decline and AD, knowledge of the underlying neurogenic signaling pathways could lead to novel therapeutic strategies for preserving brain function. In addition, manipulation of endogenous neural stem cells and stem cell transplantation, as stand-alone or adjunct treatments, seems promising.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrion signaling affects intramitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis and cellular bioenergetics. ER-nucleus signaling attenuates ER stress. ER-plasma membrane signaling regulates cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis and ER-mitochondrion-plasma membrane signaling regulates hippocampal dendritic spine formation. Here, we propose that the sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R), an ER chaperone protein, acts as an inter-organelle signaling modulator. Sig-1Rs normally reside at the ER-mitochondrion contact called the MAM (mitochondrion-associated ER membrane), where Sig-1Rs regulate ER-mitochondrion signaling and ER-nucleus crosstalk. When cells are stimulated by ligands or undergo prolonged stress, Sig-1Rs translocate from the MAM to the ER reticular network and plasmalemma/plasma membrane to regulate a variety of functional proteins, including ion channels, receptors and kinases. Thus, the Sig-1R serves as an inter-organelle signaling modulator locally at the MAM and remotely at the plasmalemma/plasma membrane. Many pharmacological/physiological effects of Sig-1Rs might relate to this unique action of Sig-1Rs.

These multivalent GPCR ligand-dendrimer (GLiDe) conjugates display qualitatively different pharmacological properties in comparison with monomeric drugs. They might be useful as novel tools to study GPCR homodimers and heterodimers as well as higher aggregates. The structure of the conjugate determines the profile of biological activity, receptor selectivity, and physical properties such as water solubility. Prosthetic groups for characterization and imaging of receptors can be introduced without loss of affinity. The feasibility of targeting multiple adenosine and P2Y receptors for synergistic effects has been shown.

Cats that are infected with a poorly replicating, apathogenic FIV (PLV) prior to exposure to a virulent FIV strain (FIVC) maintain CD4 numbers by mechanisms that are not correlated with a measurable adaptive immune response or reduction in circulating viral load. We employed population genetic approaches based on the 3' portion of the viral genome to estimate the population structure of FIVC from single and dual infected cats. In dual infected cats, FIVC effective population size was decreased during the initial viral expansion phase, and after three weeks of infection, the population declined sharply. The FIVC population recovered to pre-bottleneck levels approximately seven weeks post-FIVC infection. However, the population emerging from the bottleneck in dual infected cats was distinct based on estimates of temporal population structure and substitution profiles. The transition to transversion rate ratio (kappa) increased from early to late phases in dual infected cats due primarily to a decrease in transversions whereas in single infected cats,. declined over time. Although one clone with extensive G to A substitutions, indicative of host cytidine deaminase editing, was recovered from a dual infected cat during the bottleneck, the post bottleneck population had an overall reduction in G to A substitutions.

Infection is aborted in the absence of integration, making integrase an attractive antiviral target. Recently approved inhibitors of integrase bind tightly to integrase assembled in a nucleoprotein complex with the viral DNA ends (intasome), but have only low affinity for free integrase. High-resolution structures of HIV-1 intasomes are therefore required to understand the detailed mechanisms of inhibition and resistance. Although the structure of the HIV-1 intasome has not yet been determined, the structure of the related prototype foamy virus (PFV) intasome was recently solved. A new study [1] exploits the PFV structure to model the HIV-1 intasome. The model provides the most reliable picture to date of the active site region of the HIV-1 intasome and is an important advance in studies of inhibition of this essential HIV-1 enzyme.

In this study, we evaluated the response of human epithelial cells to sequential infections with human respiratory syncytial virus strains A2 and B to determine if a primary infection with one strain will impact the ability of cells to be infected with the second as a function of virus strain and time elapsed between the two exposures. Infected cells were visualized with fluorescent markers, and location of all cells in the tissue culture well were identified using imaging software. We employed tools from spatial statistics to investigate the likelihood of a cell being infected given its proximity to a cell infected with either the homologous or heterologous virus. We used point processes, K-functions, and simulation procedures designed to account for specific features of our data when assessing spatial associations. Our results suggest that intrinsic cell properties increase susceptibility of cells to infection, more so for RSV-B than for RSV-A. Further, we provide evidence that the primary infection can decrease susceptibility of cells to the heterologous challenge virus but only at the 16 h time point evaluated in this study. Our research effort highlights the merits of integrating empirical and statistical approaches to gain greater insight on in vitro dynamics of virus-host interactions.

TI Enforced Expression of Simian Virus 40 Large T-Antigen Leads to Testicular Germ Cell Tumors in Zebrafish SO ZEBRAFISH LA English DT Article ID MYCOBACTERIUM SPP.; TRANSGENIC MICE; DANIO-RERIO; MALIGNANCIES; FACILITIES; MUTANTS; CANCER; GENES AB Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common malignancy in young men. However, there are few in vivo animal models that have been developed to study this disease. We have used the pufferfish (fugu) lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (flck) promoter, which has been shown to enforce high-level expression in the testes of transgenic mice, to express Simian virus 40 large T-antigen in zebrafish testes. Zebrafish that express T-antigen develop TGCTs after a long latency of >1 year. Although overt TGCTs are only evident in 20% of the fish, occult TGCTs can be detected in 90% of the transgenic fish by 36 month of age. The TGCTs resemble the human disease in terms of morphology and gene expression pattern, and can be transplanted to healthy wild-type recipient fish. In addition, enforced expression of the zebrafish stem cell leukemia (scl) gene in the zebrafish testes also generated TGCTs in transgenic fish. These results demonstrate the feasibility of studying TGCTs in a model organism. C1 [Aplan, Peter D.] NCI, Genet Branch, Ctr Canc Res, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20889 USA. [Liu, P.

The disease is largely controlled with interventions managing atherogenic lipids including LDL and triglycerides. However a number of studies have shown that increasing HDL levels is likely to provide better outcomes for patients suffering from this disease. There has been an extensive research effort into understanding how HDL levels are regulated in the body and which pathways can be targeted therapeutically. The HDL metabolic pathway is however overwhelmingly complex. This has provided only limited success in trialing drugs designed to raise HDL. To add to the complexity HDL itself is a heterogeneous population of particles and there is controversy surrounding which HDL particle is the most cardio-protective. In addition there are varying opinions on which of the HDL cellular receptors are more important in humans (as opposed to what has been discovered in mice) in regulating these effects. In this article we explore the evidence for and against using the currently suggested methods of raising HDL and provide some evidence for how the adverse effects of these drugs could be corrected.

In a previous study, we found that indolizinoquinoline-5,12-dione derivatives show significant biological activity against several human cancer cell lines. To understand their mechanism of inhibition of cancer cell growth, one indolizinoquinoline-5,12-dione derivative, CY13II, was further studied as lead. Our present results indicate that CY13II shows more potent antiproliferative activity against K562 cells than camptothecin. Additionally, K562 cells were arrested in G2/M, and their growth rate decreased after treatment with CY13II at micromolar concentration. Biochemical Top1 assays indicate that CY13II exhibits a different inhibitory mechanism from camptothecin. Unlike camptothecin, CY13II specifically inhibits the catalytic cleavage activity of Top 1 instead of forming the drug-enzyme-DNA covalent ternary complex.

The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans encodes a heme oxygenase, Hmx1, that is specifically induced by the host protein hemoglobin, suggesting a role in the pathogenesis of disseminated bloodstream infections. We show that exposing mice to therapeutic levels of CO increases C. albicans virulence, whereas an HMX1 null strain has decreased virulence in murine disseminated candidiasis. Levels of several regulatory cytokines and chemokines are decreased in mice infected with the null strain, and initial lesions in the kidney are more rapidly cleared after polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration. Reconstitution of one or both alleles restores virulence to the level of wild type. Growth in vitro and initial organ burdens in infected mice are not decreased and host iron overload does not restore virulence for the null strain, suggesting that early growth in the host is not limited by Hmx1-mediated iron scavenging. In contrast, inhaled CO partially reverses the virulence defect of the null strain and restores several host cytokine responses to wild-type levels. Collectively, these results show that C. albicans Hmx1 expression and CO production limit the host immune response and contribute to the pathogenesis of candidemia. Published by Elsevier Inc.

However, if the molecules are assumed to be flexible, two additional multipolar atomic forces arise because of (1) the transfer of torque between neighboring atoms and (2) the dependence of multipole moment on internal geometry (bond lengths, bond angles, etc.) for geometry-dependent multipole models. In this study, atomic force expressions for geometry-dependent multipoles are presented for use in simulations of flexible molecules. The atomic forces are derived by first proposing a new general expression for Wigner function derivatives partial derivative D(m'm)(l)/partial derivative Omega. The force equations can be applied to electrostatic models based on atomic point multipoles or Gaussian multipole charge density. Hydrogen-bonded dimers are used to test the intermolecular electrostatic energies and atomic forces calculated by geometry-dependent multipoles fit to the ab initio electrostatic potential. The electrostatic energies and forces are compared with their reference ab initio values. It is shown that both static and geometry-dependent multipole models are able to reproduce total molecular forces and torques with respect to ab initio, whereas geometry-dependent multipoles are needed to reproduce ab initio atomic forces. The expressions for atomic force can be used in simulations of flexible molecules with atomic multipoles. In addition, the results presented in this work should lead to further development of next generation force fields composed of geometry-dependent multipole models. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

HTLV-1 is transmitted to T cells through the virological synapse and by extracellular viral assemblies. Here, we uncovered an additional mechanism of virus transmission that is regulated by the HTLV-1-encoded p8 protein. We found that the p8 protein, known to anergize T cells, is also able to increase T-cell contact through lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 clustering. In addition, p8 augments the number and length of cellular conduits among T cells and is transferred to neighboring T cells through these conduits. p8, by establishing a T-cell network, enhances the envelope-dependent transmission of HTLV-1. Thus, the ability of p8 to simultaneously anergize and cluster T cells, together with its induction of cellular conduits, secures virus propagation while avoiding the host's immune surveillance. This work identifies p8 as a viral target for the development of therapeutic strategies that may limit the expansion of infected cells in HTLV-1 carriers and decrease HTLV-1-associated morbidity.

CGA is ubiquitous within neuronal cell bodies, with no obvious anatomical or chemically-coded subdivision of the nervous system in which CGA is not expressed in most neurons. CGA expression is essentially absent from catecholaminergic terminal fields in the CNS, suggesting a relative paucity of large dense-core vesicles in CNS compared to peripheral catecholaminergic neurons. Extensive synaptic co-localization with classical transmitter markers is not observed even in areas such as amygdala, where CGA fibers are numerous, suggesting preferential segregation of CGA to peptidergic terminals in CNS. Localization of CGA in dendrites in some areas of CNS may indicate its involvement in regulation of dendritic release mechanisms. Finally, the ubiquitous presence of CGA in neuronal cell somata, especially pronounced in GABAergic neurons, suggests a second non-secretory vesicle-associated function for CGA in CNS. We propose that CGA may function in the CNS as a prohormone and granulogenic factor in some terminal fields, but also possesses as-yet unknown unique cellular functions within neuronal somata and dendrites.

CgA is a "prohormone" that is synthesized at the rough endoplasmic reticulum and transported into the cisternae of this organelle via its signal peptide. It is then trafficked to the Golgi complex and then to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) where CgA aggregates at low pH in the presence of calcium. The CgA aggregates provide the physical driving force to induce budding of the TGN membrane resulting in dense core granule (DCG) formation. Within the granule, a small amount of the CgA is processed to bioactive peptides, including a predicted C-terminal peptide, serpinin. Upon stimulation, DCGs undergo exocytosis and CgA and its derived peptides are released. Serpinin, acting extracellularly is able to signal the increase in transcription of a serine protease inhibitor, protease nexin-1 (PN-1) that protects DCG proteins against degradation in the Golgi complex, which then enhances DCG biogenesis to replenish those that were released. Thus CgA and its derived peptide, serpinin, plays a significant role in granule formation and regulation of granule biogenesis, respectively, in (neuro) endocrine cells.

Most, but not all, isolates have typical xenotropic or polytropic host range, and these two MLV tropism types have now been detected in humans as viral sequences or as infectious virus, termed XMRV, or xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus. The mouse xenotropic MLVs (X-MLVs) were originally defined by their inability to infect cells of their natural mouse hosts. It is now clear, however, that X-MLVs actually have the broadest host range of the MLVs. Nearly all nonrodent mammals are susceptible to X-MLVs, and all species of wild mice and several common strains of laboratory mice are X-MLV susceptible. The polytropic MLVs, named for their apparent broad host range, show a more limited host range than the X-MLVs in that they fail to infect cells of many mouse species as well as many nonrodent mammals. The co-evolution of these viruses with their receptor and other host factors that affect their replication has produced a heterogeneous group of viruses capable of inducing various diseases, as well as endogenized viral genomes, some of which have been domesticated by their hosts to serve in antiviral defense.

TI A mixed-effects model approach for estimating the distribution of usual intake of nutrients: The NCI method SO STATISTICS IN MEDICINE LA English DT Article DE statistical distributions; diet surveys; nutrition assessment; mixed-effects model; nutrients; percentiles ID EPISODICALLY CONSUMED FOODS; MULTIPLE-PASS METHOD; MEASUREMENT ERROR; POPULATION; BIOMARKER; VARIANCE; DESIGN AB It is of interest to estimate the distribution of usual nutrient intake for a population from repeat 24-h dietary recall assessments. A mixed effects model and quantile estimation procedure, developed at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), may be used for this purpose. The model incorporates a Box-Cox parameter and covariates to estimate usual daily intake of nutrients; model parameters are estimated via quasi-Newton optimization of a likelihood approximated by the adaptive Gaussian quadrature. The parameter estimates are used in a Monte Carlo approach to generate empirical quantiles; standard errors are estimated by bootstrap. The NCI method is illustrated and compared with current estimation methods, including the individual mean and the semi-parametric method developed at the Iowa State University (ISU), using data from a random sample and computer simulations. Both the NCI and ISU methods for nutrients are superior to the distribution of individual means. For simple (no covariate) models, quantile estimates are similar between the NCI and ISU methods. The bootstrap approach used by the NCI method to estimate standard errors of quantiles appears preferable to Taylor linearization. One major advantage of the NCI method is its ability to provide estimates for subpopulations through the incorporation of covariates into the model. The NCI method may be used for estimating the distribution of usual nutrient intake for populations and subpopulations as part of a unified framework of estimation of usual intake of dietary constituents.

TI Mitochondrial membrane potential regulates PINK1 import and proteolytic destabilization by PARL SO JOURNAL OF CELL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID RECESSIVE JUVENILE PARKINSONISM; SUBCELLULAR-LOCALIZATION; OXIDATIVE STRESS; DISEASE; MUTATIONS; MITOPHAGY; PROTEASES; MUTANTS; DROSOPHILA-PINK1; INACTIVATION AB PINK1 is a mitochondrial kinase mutated in some familial cases of Parkinson's disease. It has been found to work in the same pathway as the E3 ligase Parkin in the maintenance of flight muscles and dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila melanogaster and to recruit cytosolic Parkin to mitochondria to mediate mitophagy in mammalian cells. Although PINK1 has a predicted mitochondrial import sequence, its cellular and submitochondrial localization remains unclear in part because it is rapidly degraded. In this study, we report that the mitochondrial inner membrane rhomboid protease presenilin-associated rhomboid-like protein (PARL) mediates cleavage of PINK1 dependent on mitochondrial membrane potential. In the absence of PARL, the constitutive degradation of PINK1 is inhibited, stabilizing a 60-kD form inside mitochondria. When mitochondrial membrane potential is dissipated, PINK1 accumulates as a 63-kD full-length form on the outer mitochondrial membrane, where it can recruit Parkin to impaired mitochondria. Thus, differential localization to the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes appears to regulate PINK1 stability and function.

Here we show that actin polymerization occurs in an asymmetric and cell type specific manner between a muscle founder cell and a fusion-competent myoblast (FCM). In the FCM, a dense F-actin enriched focus forms at the site of fusion, whereas a thin sheath of F-actin is induced along the apposing founder cell membrane. The FCM-specific actin focus invades the apposing founder cell with multiple finger-like protrusions, leading to the formation of a single-channel macro fusion pore between the two muscle cells. Two actin nucleation promoting factors of the Arp2/3 complex, WASP and Scar, are required for the formation of the F-actin foci, whereas WASP but not Scar promotes efficient foci invasion. Our studies uncover a novel invasive podosome-like structure (PLS) in a developing tissue and reveal a previously unrecognized function of PLSs in facilitating cell membrane juxtaposition and fusion.

TI Effects of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Metapneumovirus, Parainfluenza Virus 3 and Influenza Virus on CD4+T Cell Activation by Dendritic Cells SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID T-HELPER TYPE-1; IN-VITRO; YOUNG-CHILDREN; DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE; FLOW-CYTOMETRY; CILIATED CELLS; TRACT DISEASE; HUMAN NAIVE; INFECTION; LYMPHOCYTES AB Background: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), and to a lesser extent human metapneumovirus (HMPV) and human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3), re-infect symptomatically throughout life without antigenic change, suggestive of incomplete immunity. One causative factor is thought to be viral interference with dendritic cell (DC)-mediated stimulation of CD4+ T cells. Methodology, Principal Findings: We infected human monocyte-derived DC with purified HRSV, HMPV, HPIV3, or influenza A virus (IAV) and compared their ability to induce activation and proliferation of autologous CD4+ T cells in vitro. IAV was included because symptomatic re-infection without antigenic change is less frequent, suggesting that immune protection is more complete and durable. We examined virus-specific memory responses and superantigen-induced responses by multiparameter flow cytometry. Live virus was more stimulatory than inactivated virus in inducing DC-mediated proliferation of virus-specific memory CD4+ T cells, suggesting a lack of strong suppression by live virus. There were trends of increasing proliferation in the order: HMPV, HRSV, HPIV3, IAV, and greater production of interferon-gamma c and tumor necrosis factor-alpha by proliferating cells in response to IAV, but differences were not significant. Exposure of DC to HRSV, HPIV3, or IAV reduced CD4+ T cell proliferation in response to secondary stimulus with superantigen, but the effect was transitory and greatest for IAV. T cell cytokine production was similar, with no evidence of Th2 or Th17 skewing. Conclusions, Significance: Understanding the basis for the ability of HRSV in particular to symptomatically re-infect without significant antigenic change is of considerable interest. The present results show that these common respiratory viruses are similar in their ability to induce DC to activate CD4+ T cells. Thus, the results do not support the common model in which viral suppression of CD4+ T cell activation and proliferation by HRSV, HMPV, and HPIV3 is a major factor in the difference in re-infectability compared to IAV.

Recently our group identified estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) expression as an independent prognostic factor in the progression of human Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MMe), but the underlying mechanism by which ER beta expression in tumors determines clinical outcome remains largely unknown. This study is aimed at investigating the molecular mechanisms of ER beta action in MMe cells and disclosing the potential translational implications of these results. Methods: We modulated ER beta expression in REN and MSTO-211H MMe cell lines and evaluated cell proliferation and EGF receptor (EGFR) activation. Results: Our data indicate that ER beta knockdown in ER positive cells confers a more invasive phenotype, increases anchorage independent proliferation and elevates the constitutive activation of EGFR-coupled signal transduction pathways. Conversely, re-expression of ER beta in ER negative cells confers a more epithelioid phenotype, decreases their capacity for anchorage independent growth and down-modulates proliferative signal transduction pathways. We identify a physical interaction between ER beta, EGFR and caveolin 1 that results in an altered internalization and in a selective reduced activation of EGFR-coupled signaling, when ER beta is over-expressed. We also demonstrate that differential expression of ER beta influences MMe tumor cell responsiveness to the therapeutic agent: Gefitinib. Conclusions: This study describes a role for ER beta in the modulation of cell proliferation and EGFR activation and provides a rationale to facilitate the targeting of a subgroup of MMe patients who would benefit most from therapy with Gefitinib alone or in combination with Akt inhibitors.

TI DNA polymerase structure-based insight on the mutagenic properties of 8-oxoguanine SO MUTATION RESEARCH-GENETIC TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS LA English DT Review DE Base excision repair; DNA polymerase; Structure; Fidelity; Endogenous DNA damage ID ACTIVE-SITE; FIDELITY; LESION; BETA; 8-HYDROXYGUANINE; OPPOSITE; RESIDUE; BYPASS; REPAIR; DAMAGE AB An aerobic environment burdens DNA polymerase substrates with oxidized substrates (DNA and nucleotide pools). A major promutagenic lesion resulting from oxidative stress is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxoG). Guanine oxidation alters the hydrogen bonding properties of the base and glycosidic-preference of the nucleotide. The favored glycosidic syn-conformation exposes the Hoogsteen edge of the base for hydrogen bonding with adenine during DNA synthesis. The cell has recognized the threat of this lesion and has evolved an intricate surveillance system to provide DNA polymerases with unmodified substrates. Failure to do so leads to transversion mutations. Since the mutagenic properties of the base are dictated by the anti-syn-conformation of the nucleotide, the molecular interactions of 8-oxoG in the confines of the DNA polymerase active site are expected to influence its coding potential. Recent structural characterization of DNA polymerases from several families with this lesion in the nascent base pair binding pocket has provided insight to the mutagenic properties of this modified nucleotide. These structures reveal that flexibility around the template-binding pocket can permit 8-oxoG to assume an anti- or syn-conformation and code for cytosine or adenine incorporation, respectively. In contrast, the binding pocket for the incoming nucleotide does not have this flexibility so that 8-oxodGTP insertion opposite cytosine is strongly discouraged. Published by Elsevier B.V.

TI Rebound of plasma viremia following cessation of antiretroviral therapy despite profoundly low levels of HIV reservoir: implications for eradication SO AIDS LA English DT Article DE antiretroviral therapy; discontinuation of therapy; eradication; human immunodeficiency virus; viral reservoirs ID EXTENDED PERIODS; PERSISTENCE; INFECTION; REPLICATION; SUPPRESSION; VIRUS AB Objectives: Sustained suppression of plasma viremia in HIV-infected individuals is attainable with antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, eradication of virus that would allow discontinuation of ART has been hampered by the persistence of HIV reservoirs. It is of great interest to identify individuals who had received ART for prolonged periods of time with extremely low or undetectable HIV reservoirs and monitor plasma viremia following discontinuation of therapy. Methods: We measured the size of HIV reservoirs in CD4(+) T cells of individuals on long-term ART and monitored plasma viremia following cessation of ART in one individual with an exceptionally low viral burden after a decade of therapy. Results: We demonstrated undetectable levels of HIV DNA in the blood of eight of 45 infected individuals on long-term ART. Among those eight individuals, the frequency of cells carrying infectious virus was significantly lower in those who initiated ART during the early versus the chronic phase of infection. One individual with undetectable HIV DNA in both blood and tissue and a profoundly low level of infectious virus experienced plasma viral rebound 50 days following discontinuation of ART. Conclusions: Our data suggest that a significant reduction in the size of viral reservoirs may be achievable in selected individuals who initiate standard ART early in infection. However, given re-emergence of plasma viremia in an individual with an extraordinarily low viral burden, therapeutic strategies aimed at specifically targeting these extremely rare HIV-infected cells with novel interventions may be necessary in order to achieve eradication of virus.

We previously found that monomethylation of p53 at lysine 382 (p53K382me1) by the protein lysine methyltransferase (PKMT) SET8/PR-Set7 represses p53 transactivation of target genes. However, the molecular mechanism linking p53K382 monomethylation to repression is not known. Here we show in biochemical and crystallographic studies the preferential recognition of p53K382me1 by the triple malignant brain tumor (MBT) repeats of the chromatin compaction factor L3MBTL1. We demonstrate that SET8-mediated methylation of p53 at Lys-382 promotes the interaction between L3MBTL1 and p53 in cells, and the chromatin occupancy of L3MBTL1 at p53 target promoters. In the absence of DNA damage, L3MBTL1 interacts with p53K382me1 and p53-target genes are repressed, whereas depletion of L3MBTL1 results in a p53-dependent increase in p21 and PUMA transcript levels. Activation of p53 by DNA damage is coupled to a decrease in p53K382me1 levels, abrogation of the L3MBTL1-p53 interaction, and disassociation of L3MBTL1 from p53-target promoters. Together, we identify L3MBTL1 as the second known methyl-p53 effector protein, and provide a molecular explanation for the mechanism by which p53K382me1 is transduced to regulate p53 activity.

Angiogenesis is crucial during tissue remodeling in multiple pathologies; however, the knowledge about the regulation of neovascularization by the complement components is scarce. Here we studied the involvement of complement in pathological angiogenesis. Strikingly, we found that mice deficient in the central complement component C3 displayed increased neovascularization in the model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and in the in vivo Matrigel plug assay. In addition, antibody-mediated blockade of C5, treatment with C5aR antagonist, or C5aR deficiency in mice resulted in enhanced pathological retina angiogenesis. While complement did not directly affect angiogenesis-related endothelial cell functions, we found that macrophages mediated the antiangiogenic activity of complement. In particular, C5a-stimulated macrophages were polarized toward an angiogenesis-inhibitory phenotype, including the up-regulated secretion of the antiangiogenic soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1. Consistently, macrophage depletion in vivo reversed the increased neovascularization associated with C3- or C5aR deficiency. Taken together, complement and in particular the C5a-C5aR axes are potent inhibitors of angiogenesis.

The receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) was identified as a highly expressed gene in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), but not normal B cells, suggesting it may serve as a tumor-specific target for therapy. We analyzed ROR1-expression in normal nonhematopoietic and hematopoietic cells including B-cell precursors, and in hematopoietic malignancies. ROR1 has characteristics of an oncofetal gene and is expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells, B-CLL and mantle cell lymphoma, but not in major adult tissues apart from low levels in adipose tissue and at an early stage of B-cell development. We constructed a ROR1-specific chimeric antigen receptor that when expressed in T cells from healthy donors or CLL patients conferred specific recognition of primary B-CLL and mantle cell lymphoma, including rare drug effluxing chemotherapy resistant tumor cells that have been implicated in maintaining the malignancy, but not mature normal B cells. T-cell therapies targeting ROR1 may be effective in B-CLL and other ROR1-positive tumors. However, the expression of ROR1 on some normal tissues suggests the potential for toxicity to subsets of normal cells.

We use a new technique combining immunofluorescent cell-surface staining and fluorescent in situ hybridization to quantify both EBV copy number per cell and cell types in blood from patients with high EBV DNA loads. In addition to CD20(+) B cells, EBV was present in plasmablast/plasma cells in the blood of 50% of patients, in monocytes or T cells in a small proportion of patients, and in "non-B, non-T, non-monocytes" in 69% of patients. The mean EBV copy number in B cells was significantly higher than in plasmablast/plasma cells. There was no correlation between EBV load and virus copy number per cell. Although we detected CD21, the EBV B-cell receptor, on EBV-infected B cells, we could not detect it on virus-infected T cells. These findings expand the range of cell types infected in the blood. Determining the number of EBV genomes per cell and the type of cells infected in patients with high EBV loads may provide additional prognostic information for the development of EBV lymphoproliferative diseases.

We therefore reviewed our clinical experience with adoptive transfer of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor-derived virus-specific CTLs in 153 recipients, including 73 instances where there was an HLA mismatch. There was no de novo acute graft-versus-host disease after infusion, and incidence of graft-versus-host disease reactivation was low and not significantly different in recipients of matched or mismatched CTL. However, we found that virus-specific T cell lines recognized up to 10% of a panel of 44 HLA disparate targets, indicating that virus-specific T cells can have cross-reactivity with HLA-mismatched targets in vitro. These data indicate that the adoptive transfer of partially HLA-mismatched virus-specific CTL is safe despite in vitro recognition of recipient HLA molecules.

The pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-cyano-4,4-diethoxybutanoate and acetamidine, which in turn was chlorinated and reacted with the appropriate anilines to afford 1 and 2. The cyclopenta[d]pyrimidines were obtained from 3-methyladapic acid, followed by reaction with acetamidine to afford the cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine scaffold. Chlorination and reaction with appropriate anilines afforded (+/-)-3 center dot HCl-(+/-)-7 center dot HCl. Compounds 1 and (+/-)-3 center dot HCl had potent antiproliferative activities in the nanomolar range. Compound (+/-)-3 center dot HCl is significantly more potent than 1. Mechanistic studies showed that I and (+/-)-3 center dot HCl cause loss of cellular microtubules, inhibit the polymerization of purified tubulin, and inhibit colchicine binding. Modeling studies show interactions of these compounds within the colchicine site. The identification of these new inhibitors that can also overcome clinically relevant mechanisms of drug resistance provides new scaffolds for colchicine site agents.

The histograms are approximated by a sum of Gaussians with the parameters explicitly determined by the FRET efficiencies of the states and the rates of the transitions between the states. The theory, which has been tested against exact histograms for two conformational states and simulated data for three and four conformational states, accurately describes how the peaks in the histograms collapse as the bin time or the transition rates increase.

TI Nanoscale architecture of integrin-based cell adhesions SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID FOCAL ADHESIONS; ACTIN-FILAMENTS; PROTEIN; FORCE; TALIN; MICROSCOPY; PROBES AB Cell adhesions to the extracellular matrix (ECM) are necessary for morphogenesis, immunity and wound healing(1,2). Focal adhesions are multifunctional organelles that mediate cell-ECM adhesion, force transmission, cytoskeletal regulation and signalling(1-3). Focal adhesions consist of a complex network(4) of trans-plasma-membrane integrins and cytoplasmic proteins that form a <200-nm plaque(5,6) linking the ECM to the actin cytoskeleton. The complexity of focal adhesion composition and dynamics implicate an intricate molecular machine(7,8). However, focal adhesion molecular architecture remains unknown. Here we used three-dimensional super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (interferometric photo-activated localization microscopy)(9) to map nanoscale protein organization in focal adhesions. Our results reveal that integrins and actin are vertically separated by a similar to 40-nm focal adhesion core region consisting of multiple protein-specific strata: a membrane-apposed integrin signalling layer containing integrin cytoplasmic tails, focal adhesion kinase and paxillin; an intermediate force-transduction layer containing talin and vinculin; and an uppermost actin-regulatory layer containing zyxin, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein and alpha-actinin. By localizing amino- and carboxyterminally tagged talins, we reveal talin's polarized orientation, indicative of a role in organizing the focal adhesion strata. The composite multilaminar protein architecture provides a molecular blueprint for understanding focal adhesion functions.

In this report, we examined how RNA export factors UAP56 and URH49, and RNA export cofactors RBM15 and OTT3, function in modulating KSHV ORF57 expression. We found that knockdown of each factor by RNAi led to decreased ORF57 expression. Specifically, reduced expression of either UAP56 or RBM15 led to nuclear export deficiency of ORF57 RNA. In the context of the KSHV genome, the near absence of UAP56 or RBM15 reduced the expression of both ORF57 and ORF59 (an RNA target of ORF57), but not ORF50. Collectively, our data indicate that the expression of KSHV ORF57 is regulated by cellular RNA export factors and cofactors at the posttranscriptional level. Published by Elsevier Inc.

HPV vaccines can prevent infection by some but not other sexually transmitted HPVs but are too costly for use in much of the world at greatest risk to HPV-associated cancers. Microbicides provide an inexpensive alternative to vaccines. In a high throughput screen, drugs that inhibit the cellular protein complex known as gamma secretase were identified as potential HPV microbicides. gamma Secretase inhibitors (GSIs) inhibited the infectivity of HPV pseudoviruses both in human keratinocytes and in mouse cells, with IC(50) values in the picomolar to the nanomolar range. Using a mouse model, we observed that a GSI could inhibit EIPV infection to the same degree as its effectiveness in inhibiting gamma secretase activity in vivo. We conclude that gamma secretase activity is required for HPV infection and that GSIs are effective microbicides against anogenital HPVs. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This knowledge is then further used in order to generate molecular mechanistic hypotheses for an organism when it is exposed to different conditions. Several different methods have been proposed to analyze these data under different distributional assumptions on gene expression. However, the empirical validation of these assumptions is lacking. Results: Best fit hypotheses tests, moment-ratio diagrams and relationships between the different moments of the distribution of the gene expression was used to characterize the observed distributions. The data are obtained from the publicly available gene expression database, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to characterize the empirical distributions of gene expressions obtained under varying experimental situations each of which providing relatively large number of samples for hypothesis testing. All data were obtained from either of two microarray platforms - the commercial Affymetrix mouse 430.2 platform and a non-commercial Rosetta/Merck one. The data from each platform were preprocessed in the same manner. Conclusions: The null hypotheses for goodness of fit for all considered univariate theoretical probability distributions (including the Normal distribution) are rejected for more than 50% of probe sets on the Affymetrix microarray platform at a 95% confidence level, suggesting that under the tested conditions a priori assumption of any of these distributions across all probe sets is not valid. The pattern of null hypotheses rejection was different for the data from Rosetta/Merck platform with only around 20% of the probe sets failing the logistic distribution goodness-of-fit test. We find that there are statistically significant (at 95% confidence level based on the F-test for the fitted linear model) relationships between the mean and the logarithm of the coefficient of variation of the distributions of the logarithm of gene expressions. An additional novel statistically significant quadratic relationship between the skewness and kurtosis is identified. Data from both microarray platforms fail to identify with any one of the chosen theoretical probability distributions from an analysis of the l-moment ratio diagram.

This incorporation is mediated by the conserved SWR1 complex, which replaces histone H2A in canonical nucleosomes with H2A.Z in an ATP-dependent manner. Here, we show that promoter-proximal nucleosomes are highly heterogeneous for H2A.Z in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with substantial representation of nucleosomes containing one, two, or zero H2A.Z molecules. SWR1-catalyzed H2A.Z replacement in vitro occurs in a stepwise and unidirectional fashion, one H2A.Z-H2B dimer at a time, producing heterotypic nucleosomes as intermediates and homotypic H2A.Z nucleosomes as end products. The ATPase activity of SWR1 is specifically stimulated by H2A-containing nucleosomes without ensuing histone H2A eviction. Remarkably, further addition of free H2A.Z-H2B dimer leads to hyperstimulation of ATPase activity, eviction of nucleosomal H2A-H2B, and deposition of H2A.Z-H2B. These results suggest that the combination of H2A-containing nucleosome and free H2A.Z-H2B dimer acting as both effector and substrate for SWR1 governs the specificity and outcome of the replacement reaction.

The tubules are shaped by the curvature-stabilizing proteins reticulons and DP1/Yop1p, but how the sheets are formed is unclear. Here, we identify several sheet-enriched membrane proteins in the mammalian ER, including proteins that translocate and modify newly synthesized polypeptides, as well as coiled-coil membrane proteins that are highly upregulated in cells with proliferated ER sheets, all of which are localized by membrane-bound polysomes. These results indicate that sheets and tubules correspond to rough and smooth ER, respectively. One of the coiled-coil proteins, Climp63, serves as a "luminal ER spacer'' and forms sheets when overexpressed. More universally, however, sheet formation appears to involve the reticulons and DP1/Yop1p, which localize to sheet edges and whose abundance determines the ratio of sheets to tubules. These proteins may generate sheets by stabilizing the high curvature of edges.

We find that Stk25, a modifier of Reelin-Dab1 signaling, regulates Golgi morphology and neuronal polarization as part of an LKB1-Stk25-Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130) signaling pathway. Overexpression of Stk25 induces Golgi condensation and multiple axons, both of which are rescued by Reelin treatment. Reelin stimulation of cultured neurons induces the extension of the Golgi into dendrites, which is suppressed by Stk25 overexpression. In vivo, Reelin and Dab1 are required for the normal extension of the Golgi apparatus into the apical dendrites of hippocampal and neocortical pyramidal neurons. This demonstrates that the balance between Reelin-Dab1 signaling and LKB1-Stk25-GM130 regulates Golgi dispersion, axon specification, and dendrite growth and provides insights into the importance of the Golgi apparatus for cell polarization.

A novel FAAH inhibitor, AM3506, normalizes the elevated blood pressure and cardiac contractility of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) without affecting these parameters in normotensive rats. These effects are due to blockade of FAAH and a corresponding rise in brain anandamide levels, resulting in CB, receptor-mediated decrease in sympathetic tone. The supersensitivity of SHR to CB1 receptor-mediated cardiovascular depression is related to increased G protein coupling of CB1 receptors. Importantly, AM3506 does not elicit hyperglycemia and insulin resistance seen with other FAAH inhibitors or in FAAH(-/-) mice, which is related to its inability to inhibit FAAH in the liver due to rapid hepatic uptake and metabolism. This unique activity profile improved therapeutic value in hypertension.

Objective To determine whether familial occurrence of AF is associated with new-onset AF beyond established risk factors. Design, Setting, and Participants The Framingham Heart Study, a prospective community-based cohort study started in 1948. Original and Offspring Cohort participants were aged at least 30 years, were free of AF at the baseline examination, and had at least 1 parent or sibling enrolled in the study. The 4421 participants in this analysis (mean age, 54 [SD, 13] years; 54% women) were followed up through December 31, 2007. Main Outcome Measures Incremental predictive value of incorporating different features of familial AF (any familial AF, premature familial AF [onset <65 years old], number of affected relatives, and youngest age of onset in a relative) into a risk model for new-onset AF. Results Across 11 971 examinations during the period 1968-2007, 440 participants developed AF. Familial AF occurred among 1185 participants (26.8%) and premature familial AF occurred among 351 participants (7.9%). Atrial fibrillation occurred more frequently among participants with familial AF than without familial AF (unadjusted absolute event rates of 5.8% and 3.1%, respectively). The association was not attenuated by adjustment for AF risk factors (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio, 1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-1.74) or reported AF-related genetic variants. Among the different features of familial AF examined, premature familial AF was associated with improved discrimination beyond traditional risk factors to the greatest extent (traditional risk factors, C statistic, 0.842 [95% CI, 0.826-0.858]; premature familial AF, C statistic, 0.846 [95% CI, 0.831-0.862]; P=.004). Modest changes in integrated discrimination improvement were observed with premature familial AF (2.1%). Net reclassification improvement (assessed using 8-year risk thresholds of <5%, 5%-10%, and >10%) did not change significantly with premature familial AF (index statistic, 0.011; 95% CI, -0.021 to 0.042; P=.51), although categoryless net reclassification was improved (index statistic, 0.127; 95% CI, 0.064-0.189; P=.009). Conclusions In this cohort, familial AF was associated with an increased risk of AF that was not attenuated by adjustment for AF risk factors including genetic variants. Assessment of premature familial AF was associated with a very slight increase in predictive accuracy compared with traditional risk factors.

TI Selective Ablations Reveal That Orbital and Lateral Prefrontal Cortex Play Different Roles in Estimating Predicted Reward Value SO JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PRIMATE ORBITOFRONTAL CORTEX; NEURONAL-ACTIVITY; FRONTAL-CORTEX; DECISION-MAKING; WORKING-MEMORY; CONDITIONED REINFORCEMENT; BASOLATERAL AMYGDALA; EXPECTED REWARD; ECONOMIC VALUE; LESIONS AB Subregions of prefrontal cortex are important for estimating reward values and using these values to guide behavior. The present studies directly tested whether orbital prefrontal cortex (O-PFC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (L-PFC) are necessary for evaluating trial-to-trial changes in the reward values predicted by visual cues. We have compared intact rhesus monkeys, those with bilateral O-PFC lesions (n = 3), and those with bilateral L-PFC lesions (n = 3). We used three versions of a visually cued color discrimination task: we varied reward size, delay to reward, or both. O-PFC lesions altered estimations of predicted reward value in all versions of the task. L-PFC lesions disrupted performance only when both reward size and delay to reward were varied together. Neither lesion directly affected basic internal drive states (satiation curves). Our results suggest that O-PFC is essential for establishing independent, context-specific scales with which predicted reward values are measured. L-PFC appears necessary for integration of predicted reward value across these different scales.

TI Dual Mechanisms of HNO Generation by a Nitroxyl Prodrug of the Diazeniumdiolate (NONOate) Class SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article ID NITRIC-OXIDE; ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE; CARDIOVASCULAR-SYSTEM; BIOLOGICAL-SYSTEMS; NITROSYL HYDRIDE; AQUEOUS-SOLUTION; N-HYDROXYUREA; RELEASE; DONORS; INHIBITORS AB Here we describe a novel caged form of the highly reactive bioeffector molecule, nitroxyl (HNO). Reacting the labile nitric oxide (NO)- and HNO-generating salt of structure iPrHN-N(O)=NO-Na+ (1, IPA/NO) with BrCH2OAc produced a stable derivative of structure iPrHN-N(O)=NO-CH2OAc (2, AcOM-IPA/NO), which hydrolyzed an order of magnitude more slowly than 1 at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. Hydrolysis of 2 to generate HNO proceeded by at least two mechanisms. In the presence of esterase, straightforward dissociation to acetate, formaldehyde, and 1 was the dominant path. In the absence of enzyme, free 1 was not observed as an intermediate and the ratio of NO to HNO among the products approached zero. To account for this surprising result, we propose a mechanism in which base-induced removal of the N-H proton of 2 leads to acetyl group migration from oxygen to the neighboring nitrogen, followed by cleavage of the resulting rearrangement product to isopropanediazoate ion and the known HNO precursor, CH3-C(O)-NO. The trappable yield of HNO from 2 was significantly enhanced over 1 at physiological pH, in part because the slower rate of hydrolysis for 2 generated a correspondingly lower steady-state concentration of HNO, thus, minimizing self-consumption and enhancing trapping by biological targets such as metmyoglobin and glutathione. Consistent with the chemical trapping efficiency data, micromolar concentrations of prodrug 2 displayed significantly more potent sarcomere shortening effects relative to 1 on ventricular myocytes isolated from wild-type mouse hearts, suggesting that 2 may be a promising lead compound for the development of heart failure therapies.

In contrast to RNase H1 that requires four ribonucleotides for cleavage, RNase H2 can nick duplex DNAs containing a single ribonucleotide, suggesting different in vivo substrates. We report here the crystal structures of a type 2 RNase H in complex with substrates containing a (5')RNA-DNA(3') junction. They revealed a unique mechanism of recognition and substrate-assisted cleavage. A conserved tyrosine residue distorts the nucleic acid at the junction, allowing the substrate to function in catalysis by participating in coordination of the active site metal ion. The biochemical and structural properties of RNase H2 explain the preference of the enzyme for junction substrates and establish the structural and mechanistic differences with RNase H1. Junction recognition is important for the removal of RNA embedded in DNA and may play an important role in DNA replication and repair.

TI THE EFFECT OF Delta(9)-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL ON 5-HT3 RECEPTORS DEPENDS ON THE CURRENT DENSITY SO NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article DE Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol; cannabinoid; 5-HT3A receptor; Xenopus oocytes; nodose ganglion neuron. ID MEDIATED ION CURRENT; XENOPUS OOCYTES; CANNABINOID RECEPTORS; HIPPOCAMPAL-NEURONS; SUBUNIT-A; ANANDAMIDE; INHIBITION; CHANNELS; RESPONSES; GANGLION AB The effects of :Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis, on the function of 5-HT type 3 (5-HT3) receptors were investigated using a two-electrode voltage clamp technique in Xenopus oocytes, and a whole-cell patch clamp technique in rat nodose ganglion neurons. In oocytes injected with 3 ng cRNA of 5-HT3A receptor, THC reversibly inhibited currents evoked with 5-HT (1 mu M) in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=1.2 mu M). The extent of THC inhibition was inversely correlated with the amount of cRNA injected and the mean 5-HT3A receptor current densities. Pretreatment with actinomycin D, which inhibits transcription, decreased the mean 5-HT3 receptor current density and increased the extent of THC inhibition on 5-HT3 receptor-mediated currents. The IC50 values for THC increased from 285 nM to 1.2 mu M in oocytes injected with 1 and 3 ng of 5-HT3A cRNA, respectively. In radioligand binding studies on membrane preparations of oocytes expressing 5-HT3A receptors, THC did not alter the specific binding of a 5-HT3A receptor antagonist, [H-3]GR65630. In the presence of 1 mu M THC, the maximum 5-HT-induced response was also inhibited without a significant change in 5-HT potency, indicating that THC acts as a noncompetitive antagonist on 5-HT3 receptors. In adult rat nodose ganglion neurons, application of 1 mu M THC caused a significant inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors, extent of which correlated with the density of 5-HT-induced currents, indicating that the observed THC effects occur in mammalian neurons. The inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors by THC may contribute to its pharmacological actions in nociception and emesis. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of IBRO.

N-e-Methylation of lysine residues on histone tails is one of a number of post-translational modifications that together enable transcriptional regulation. Histone lysine demethylases antagonize the action of histone methyltransferases in a site-and methylation state-specific manner. N-e-Methyllysine demethylases that use 2-oxoglutarate as co-factor are associated with diverse human diseases, including cancer, inflammation and X-linked mental retardation; they are proposed as targets for the therapeutic modulation of transcription. There are few reports on the identification of templates that are amenable to development as potent inhibitors in vivo and large diverse collections have yet to be exploited for the discovery of demethylase inhibitors. Principal Findings: High-throughput screening of a similar to 236,000-member collection of diverse molecules arrayed as dilution series was used to identify inhibitors of the JMJD2 (KDM4) family of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent histone demethylases. Initial screening hits were prioritized by a combination of cheminformatics, counterscreening using a coupled assay enzyme, and orthogonal confirmatory detection of inhibition by mass spectrometric assays. Follow-up studies were carried out on one of the series identified, 8-hydroxyquinolines, which were shown by crystallographic analyses to inhibit by binding to the active site Fe(II) and to modulate demethylation at the H3K9 locus in a cell-based assay. Conclusions: These studies demonstrate that diverse compound screening can yield novel inhibitors of 2OG dependent histone demethylases and provide starting points for the development of potent and selective agents to interrogate epigenetic regulation.

The aim of this study was to examine the relation between neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and all-cause, cancer-and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific mortality for men and women after accounting for education and other important person-level risk factors. Methods: In the longitudinal NIH-AARP Study, we analyzed data from healthy participants, ages 50-71 years at study baseline (1995-1996). Deaths (n = 33831) were identified through December 2005. Information on census tracts was obtained from the 2000 US Census. Cox models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for quintiles of neighborhood deprivation. Results: Participants in the highest quintile of deprivation had elevated risks for overall mortality (HR(men) = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.24; HR(women) = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.22) and marginally increased risk for cancer deaths (HR(men) = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.20; HR(women) = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.22). CVD mortality associations appeared stronger in men (HR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.49) than women (HR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.38). There was no evidence of an effect modification by education. Conclusion: Higher neighborhood deprivation was associated with modest increases in all-cause, cancer-and CVD-mortality after accounting for many established risk factors.

TI The Use of Gamma-H2AX as a Biodosimeter for Total-Body Radiation Exposure in Non-Human Primates SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS; PERIPHERAL-BLOOD LYMPHOCYTES; IONIZING-RADIATION; DNA-DAMAGE; IN-VIVO; HAIR-FOLLICLES; FOCI; BIOMARKER; SKIN; FRAGMENTATION AB Background: There is a crucial shortage of methods capable of determining the extent of accidental exposures of human beings to ionizing radiation. However, knowledge of individual exposures is essential for early triage during radiological incidents to provide optimum possible life-sparing medical procedures to each person. Methods and Findings: We evaluated immunocytofluorescence-based quantitation of gamma-H2AX foci as a biodosimeter of total-body radiation exposure (Co-60 gamma-rays) in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) model. Peripheral blood lymphocytes and plucked hairs were collected from 4 cohorts of macaques receiving total body irradiation doses ranging from 1 Gy to 8.5 Gy. Each cohort consisted of 6 experimental and 2 control animals. Numbers of residual gamma-H2AX foci were proportional to initial irradiation doses and statistically significant responses were obtained until 1 day after 1 Gy, 4 days after 3.5 and 6.5 Gy, and 14 days after 8.5 Gy in lymphocytes and until 1 day after 1 Gy, at least 2 days after 3.5 and 6.5 Gy, and 9 days after 8.5 Gy in plucked hairs. Conclusion: These findings indicate that quantitation of gamma-H2AX foci may make a robust biodosimeter for analyzing total-body exposure to ionizing radiation in humans. This tool would help clinicians prescribe appropriate types of medical intervention for optimal individual outcome. These results also demonstrate that the use of a high throughput gamma-H2AX biodosimeter would be useful for days post-exposure in applications like large-scale radiological events or radiation therapy. In addition, this study validates a possibility to use plucked hair in future clinical trials investigating genotoxic effects of drugs and radiation treatments.

To explore their function and mechanism, we determined crystal structures of a representative member, GIMAP2, in different nucleotide-loading and oligomerization states. Nucleotide-free and GDP-bound GIMAP2 were monomeric and revealed a guanine nucleotide-binding domain of the TRAFAC (translation factor associated) class with a unique amphipathic helix alpha 7 packing against switch II. In the absence of alpha 7 and the presence of GTP, GIMAP2 oligomerized via two distinct interfaces in the crystal. GTP-induced stabilization of switch I mediates dimerization across the nucleotide-binding site, which also involves the GIMAP specificity motif and the nucleotide base. Structural rearrangements in switch II appear to induce the release of alpha 7 allowing oligomerization to proceed via a second interface. The unique architecture of the linear oligomer was confirmed by mutagenesis. Furthermore, we showed a function for the GIMAP2 oligomer at the surface of lipid droplets. Although earlier studies indicated that GIMAPs are related to the septins, the current structure also revealed a strikingly similar nucleotide coordination and dimerization mode as in the dynamin GTPase. Based on this, we reexamined the relationships of the septin-and dynamin-like GTPases and demonstrate that these are likely to have emerged from a common membrane-associated dimerizing ancestor. This ancestral property appears to be critical for the role of GIMAPs as nucleotide-regulated scaffolds on intracellular membranes.

Genomic analyses have identified low CpG promoters that are both methylated and transcriptionally active, but the mechanism underlying the activation of these methylated promoters remains unclear. Here we show that CpG methylation of the CRE sequence (TGACGTCA) enhances the DNA binding of the C/EBP alpha transcription factor, a protein critical for activation of differentiation in various cell types. Transfection assays also show that C/EBP alpha activates the CRE sequence only when it is methylated. The biological significance of this observation was seen in differentiating primary keratinocyte cultures from newborn mice where certain methylated promoters are both bound by C/EBP alpha and activated upon differentiation. Experimental demethylation by either 5-azacytidine treatment or DNMT1 depletion diminished both C/EBP alpha binding and activation of the same methylated promoters upon differentiation suggesting that CpG methylation can localize C/EBP alpha. Transfection studies in cell cultures using methylated tissue-specific proximal promoters identified half-CRE (CGTCA) and half-C/EBP (CGCAA) sequences that need to be methylated for C/EBP alpha mediated activation. In primary dermal fibroblasts, C/EBP alpha activates a different set of methylated tissue-specific promoters upon differentiation into adipocytes. These data identify a new function for methyl CpGs: producing DNA binding sites at half-CRE and half-C/EBP sequences for C/EBP alpha that are needed to activate tissue-specific genes.

This process is facilitated by microtubule attachment to each chromosome via its centromere. In centromeres, canonical histone H3 is replaced in nucleosomes by a centromere-specific histone H3 variant (CENH3), providing the unique epigenetic signature required for microtubule binding. Due to recent findings of alternative CENH3 nucleosomal forms in invertebrate centromeres, it has been debated whether the classical octameric nucleosomal arrangement of two copies of CENH3, H4, H2A, and H2B forms the basis of the vertebrate centromere. To address this question directly, we examined CENH3 [centromere protein A (CENP-A)] nucleosomal organization in human cells, using a combination of nucleosome component analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and immunoelectron microscopy (immuno-EM). We report that native CENP-A nucleosomes contain centromeric alpha satellite DNA, have equimolar amounts of H2A, H2B, CENP-A, and H4, and bind kinetochore proteins. These nucleosomes, when measured by AFM, yield one-half the dimensions of canonical octameric nucleosomes. Using immuno-EM, we find that one copy of CENP-A, H2A, H2B, and H4 coexist in CENP-A nucleosomes, in which internal C-terminal domains are accessible. Our observations indicate that CENP-A nucleosomes are organized as asymmetric heterotypic tetramers, rather than canonical octamers. Such altered nucleosomes form a chromatin fiber with distinct folding characteristics, which we utilize to discriminate tetramers directly within bulk chromatin. We discuss implications of our observations in the context of universal epigenetic and mechanical requirements for functional centromeres.

TI Mechanisms of protein oligomerization, the critical role of insertions and deletions in maintaining different oligomeric states SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article DE homodimer; homooligomer protein; protein structural evolution ID CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; QUATERNARY STRUCTURE; EVOLUTION; DOMAIN; AGGREGATION; SPECIFICITY; INTERFACES; BINDING; DIMERIZATION; SUPERFAMILY AB The main principles of protein-protein recognition are elucidated by the studies of homooligomers which in turn mediate and regulate gene expression, activity of enzymes, ion channels, receptors, and cell-cell adhesion processes. Here we explore oligomeric states of homologous proteins in various organisms to better understand the functional roles and evolutionary mechanisms of homooligomerization. We observe a great diversity in mechanisms controlling oligomerization and focus in our study on insertions and deletions in homologous proteins and how they enable or disable complex formation. We show that insertions and deletions which differentiate monomers and dimers have a significant tendency to be located on the interaction interfaces and about a quarter of all proteins studied and forty percent of enzymes have regions which mediate or disrupt the formation of oligomers. We suggest that relatively small insertions or deletions may have a profound effect on complex stability and/or specificity. Indeed removal of complex enabling regions from protein structures in many cases resulted in the complete or partial loss of stability. Moreover, we find that insertions and deletions modulating oligomerization have a lower aggregation propensity and contain a larger fraction of polar, charged residues, glycine and proline compared to conventional interfaces and protein surface. Most likely, these regions may mediate specific interactions, prevent nonspecific dysfunctional aggregation and preclude undesired interactions between close paralogs therefore separating their functional pathways. Last, we show how the presence or absence of insertions and deletions on interfaces might be of practical value in annotating protein oligomeric states.

Although these organelles share some components of their division machinery, it is not known whether a common regulator coordinates their remodeling and biogenesis. Here we show that in response to thermogenic stimuli, peroxisomes in brown fat tissue (BAT) undergo selective remodeling and expand in number and demonstrate that ectopic expression of the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1 alpha recapitulates these effects on the peroxisomal compartment, both in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, beta-adrenergic stimulation of PGC-1 alpha(-/-) cells results in blunted induction of peroxisomal gene expression. Surprisingly, PPAR alpha was not required for the induction of critical biogenesis factors, suggesting that PGC-1 alpha orchestrates peroxisomal remodeling through a PPAR alpha-independent mechanism. Our data suggest that PGC-1 alpha is critical to peroxisomal physiology, establishing a role for this factor as a fundamental orchestrator of cellular adaptation to energy demands.

TI Ubiquitination regulates MHC class II-peptide complex retention and degradation in dendritic cells SO PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LA English DT Article ID MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES; DOWN-REGULATION; INFLAMMATORY STIMULI; IA ANTIGENS; IN-VIVO; ENDOCYTOSIS; EXPRESSION; TRANSPORT; RECEPTOR; COMPARTMENTS AB The expression and turnover of MHC class II-peptide complexes (pMHC-II) on the surface of dendritic cells (DCs) is essential for their ability to activate CD4 T cells efficiently. The half-life of surface pMHC-II is significantly greater in activated (mature) DCs than in resting (immature) DCs, but the molecular mechanism leading to this difference remains unknown. We now show that ubiquitination of pMHC-II by the E3 ubiquitin ligase membrane-associated RING-CH 1 (March-I) regulates surface expression, intracellular distribution, and survival of pMHC-II in DCs. DCs isolated from MarchI- KO mice express very high levels of pMHC-II on the plasma membrane even before DC activation. Although ubiquitination does not affect the kinetics of pMHC-II endocytosis from the surface of DCs, the survival of pMHC-II is enhanced in DCs obtained from March-I-deficient and MHC-II ubiquitination-mutant mice. Using pMHC-II-specific mAb, we show that immature DCs generate large amounts of pMHC-II that are remarkably stable under conditions in which pMHC-II ubiquitination is blocked. Thus, the cellular distribution and stability of surface pMHC-II in DCs is regulated by ubiquitin-dependent degradation of internalized pMHC-II.

Here, microRNA (miR) expression profiling of 65 HBs evidenced differential patterns related to developmental stage and Myc activity. Undifferentiated aggressive HBs overexpressed the miR-371-3 cluster with concomitant down-regulation of the miR-100/let-7a-2/miR-125b-1 cluster, evoking an ES cell expression profile. ChIP and Myc inhibition assays in hepatoma cells demonstrated that both miR clusters are regulated by Myc in an opposite manner. We show that the two miR clusters exert antagonistic effects on cell proliferation and tumorigenicity. Moreover, their combined deregulation cooperated in modulating the hepatic tumor phenotype, implicating stem cell-like regulation of Myc-dependent miRs in poorly differentiated HBs. Importantly, a four-miR signature representative of these clusters efficiently stratified HB patients, and when applied to 241 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), it identified invasive tumors with a poor prognosis. Our data argue that Myc-driven reprogramming of miR expression patterns contributes to the aggressive phenotype of liver tumors originating from hepatic progenitor cells.

TI Validation of an Atrial Fibrillation Risk Algorithm in Whites and African Americans SO ARCHIVES OF INTERNAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID CONGESTIVE-HEART-FAILURE; ATHEROSCLEROSIS RISK; PREVALENCE; POPULATION; COHORT; ADULTS; PREVENTION; PROGNOSIS; STROKE; TRENDS AB Background: We sought to validate a recently published risk algorithm for incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in independent cohorts and other racial groups. Methods: We evaluated the performance of a Framing-ham Heart Study (FHS)-derived risk algorithm modified for 5-year incidence of AF in the FHS (n= 4764 participants) and 2 geographically and racially diverse cohorts in the age range 45 to 95 years: AGES (the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study) (n= 4238) and CHS (the Cardiovascular Health Study) (n= 5410, of whom 874 [16.2%] were African Americans). The risk algorithm included age, sex, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, electrocardiographic PR interval, hypertension treatment, and heart failure. Results: We found 1359 incident AF events in 100 074 person-years of follow-up. Unadjusted 5-year event rates differed by cohort (AGES, 12.8 cases/1000 person-years; CHS whites, 22.7 cases/1000 person-years; and FHS, 4.5 cases/1000 person-years) and by race (CHS African Americans, 18.4 cases/1000 person-years). The strongest risk factors in all samples were age and heart failure. The relative risks for incident AF associated with risk factors were comparable across cohorts and race groups. After recalibration for baseline incidence and risk factor distribution, the Framingham algorithm, reported in C statistic, performed reasonably well in all samples: AGES, 0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64-0.71); CHS whites, 0.68 (95% CI, 0.66-0.70); and CHS African Americans, 0.66 (95% CI, 0.61-0.71). Risk factors combined in the algorithm explained between 47.0% (AGES) and 63.6% (FHS) of the population-attributable risk. Conclusions: Risk of incident AF in community-dwelling whites and African Americans can be assessed reliably by routinely available and potentially modifiable clinical variables. Seven risk factors accounted for up to 64% of risk. C1 [Schnabel, Renate B.] Johannes Gutenberg Univ Mainz, Dept Med 2, Mainz, Germany.

TI Knowledge-based biomedical word sense disambiguation: comparison of approaches SO BMC BIOINFORMATICS LA English DT Article AB Background: Word sense disambiguation (WSD) algorithms attempt to select the proper sense of ambiguous terms in text. Resources like the UMLS provide a reference thesaurus to be used to annotate the biomedical literature. Statistical learning approaches have produced good results, but the size of the UMLS makes the production of training data infeasible to cover all the domain. Methods: We present research on existing WSD approaches based on knowledge bases, which complement the studies performed on statistical learning. We compare four approaches which rely on the UMLS Metathesaurus as the source of knowledge. The first approach compares the overlap of the context of the ambiguous word to the candidate senses based on a representation built out of the definitions, synonyms and related terms. The second approach collects training data for each of the candidate senses to perform WSD based on queries built using monosemous synonyms and related terms. These queries are used to retrieve MEDLINE citations. Then, a machine learning approach is trained on this corpus. The third approach is a graph-based method which exploits the structure of the Metathesaurus network of relations to perform unsupervised WSD. This approach ranks nodes in the graph according to their relative structural importance. The last approach uses the semantic types assigned to the concepts in the Metathesaurus to perform WSD. The context of the ambiguous word and semantic types of the candidate concepts are mapped to Journal Descriptors. These mappings are compared to decide among the candidate concepts. Results are provided estimating accuracy of the different methods on the WSD test collection available from the NLM. Conclusions: We have found that the last approach achieves better results compared to the other methods. The graph-based approach, using the structure of the Metathesaurus network to estimate the relevance of the Metathesaurus concepts, does not perform well compared to the first two methods. In addition, the combination of methods improves the performance over the individual approaches. On the other hand, the performance is still below statistical learning trained on manually produced data and below the maximum frequency sense baseline. Finally, we propose several directions to improve the existing methods and to improve the Metathesaurus to be more effective in WSD.

TI A requirement for Lim domain binding protein 1 in erythropoiesis SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR GATA-1; ERYTHROID GENE-EXPRESSION; HEMATOPOIETIC STEM-CELLS; POSITIVE ROLE; YOLK-SAC; SCL GENE; MICE; DIFFERENTIATION; MOUSE; LDB1 AB During erythrocyte development, the nuclear cofactor Lim domain binding protein 1 (Ldb1) functions as a core subunit of multiprotein DNA binding complexes that include the transcription factors Scl and Gata-1 and the Lim-only adapter Lmo2. Scl, Gata-1, and Lmo2 are each required for erythropoiesis, suggesting that Ldb1-nucleated transcription complexes regulate key steps during erythropoiesis. We documented a requirement for Ldb1 in erythropoiesis in mice. Analysis of ldb1(-/-) embryos revealed a critical requirement for Ldb1 during primitive erythropoiesis, and conditional inactivation of ldb1 at later stages of gestation and in adult mice demonstrated that Ldb1 is continuously required for both definitive erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis. Down-regulation of Ldb1 in erythroblasts inhibited the expression of multiple erythroid-specific and prosurvival genes. These results represent the first unequivocal demonstration of a role for Ldb1 in erythropoiesis in vivo and establish a critical function for Ldb1-nucleated complexes in regulating the erythroid/megakaryocyte transcriptional program.

TI Esophageal Cancer in Young People: A Case Series of 109 Cases and Review of the Literature SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Review ID SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMA; BARRETTS-ESOPHAGUS; SOUTH-AFRICA; ADENOCARCINOMA; CHILDHOOD; RISK; IRAN; POPULATION; OESOPHAGUS; MORTALITY AB Certain geographically distinct areas of the world have very high rates of esophageal cancer (EC). Previous studies have identified western Kenya as a high risk area for EC with an unusual percentage of cases in subjects 30 years of age or younger. To better understand EC in these young patients, we abstracted available data on all 109 young patients diagnosed with EC at Tenwek Hospital, Bomet District, Kenya from January 1996 through June 2009, including age at diagnosis, sex, ethnicity, tumor histology, residence location, and medical interventions. We also attempted to contact all patients or a family member and obtained information on ethnicity, tobacco and alcohol use, family history of cancer, and survival. Sixty (55%) representatives of the 109 young patients were successfully interviewed. The median survival time of these 60 patients was 6.4 months, the most common tumor histology was esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (98%), the M: F ratio was 1.4:1, and only a few subjects used tobacco (15%) or alcohol (15%). Seventy-nine percent reported a family history of cancer and 43% reported having a family history of EC. In summary, this case series describes the largest number of young EC patients reported to date, and it highlights the uniqueness of the EC experience in western Kenya.

Patients and Methods We evaluated second cancer and leukemia risks among 43,145 1-year survivors of CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or follicular lymphoma (FL) from 11 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) population-based registries during 1992 to 2006. Results Among patients without HIV/AIDS-related lymphoma, lung cancer risks were significantly elevated after CLL/SLL and FL but not after DLBCL (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], CLL/SLL = 1.42, FL = 1.28, DLBCL = 1.00; Poisson regression P for difference among subtypes, P(Diff) = .001). A similar pattern was observed for risk of cutaneous melanoma (SIR: CLL/SLL = 1.92, FL = 1.60, DLBCL = 1.06; P(Diff) = .004). Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia risks were significantly elevated after FL and DLBCL, particularly among patients receiving initial chemotherapy, but not after CLL/SLL (SIR: CLL/SLL = 1.13, FL = 5.96, DLBCL = 4.96; P(Diff) < .001). Patients with HIV/AIDS-related lymphoma (n = 932) were predominantly diagnosed with DLBCL and had significantly and substantially elevated risks for second anal cancer (SIR = 120.50) and Kaposi's sarcoma (SIR = 138.90). Conclusion Our findings suggest that differing immunologic alterations, treatments (eg, alkylating agent chemotherapy), genetic susceptibilities, and other risk factors (eg, viral infections, tobacco use) among lymphoma subtypes contribute to the patterns of second malignancy risk. Elucidating these patterns may provide etiologic clues to lymphoma as well as to the second malignancies. J Clin Oncol 28:4935-4944.

TI Antitumor Activity of Hu14.18-IL2 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Neuroblastoma: A Children's Oncology Group (COG) Phase II Study SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article ID COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR; TARGETED INTERLEUKIN-2 THERAPY; MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODY CH14.18; BONE-MARROW-TRANSPLANTATION; HIGH-RISK NEUROBLASTOMA; STAGE-IV NEUROBLASTOMA; PLUS INTERLEUKIN-2; CANCER GROUP; REFRACTORY NEUROBLASTOMA; CELLULAR CYTOTOXICITY AB Purpose The hu14.18-IL2 fusion protein consists of interleukin-2 molecularly linked to a humanized monoclonal antibody that recognizes the GD2 disialoganglioside expressed on neuroblastoma cells. This phase II study assessed the antitumor activity of hu14.18-IL2 in two strata of patients with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma. Patients and Methods Hu14.18-IL2 was given intravenously (12 mg/m(2)/daily) for 3 days every 4 weeks for patients with disease measurable by standard radiographic criteria (stratum 1) and for patients with disease evaluable only by [(123)I] metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy and/or bone marrow (BM) histology (stratum 2). Response was established by independent radiology review as well as BM histology and immunocytology, and durability was assessed by repeat evaluation after more than 3 weeks. Results Thirty-nine patients were enrolled (36 evaluable). No responses were seen in stratum 1 (n = 13). Of 23 evaluable patients in stratum 2, five patients (21.7%) responded; all had a complete response (CR) of 9, 13, 20, 30, and 35+ months duration. Grade 3 and 4 nonhematologic toxicities included capillary leak, hypoxia, pain, rash, allergic reaction, elevated transaminases, and hyper-bilirubinemia. Two patients required dopamine for hypotension, and one patient required ventilatory support for hypoxia. Most toxicities were reversible within a few days of completing a treatment course and were expected based on phase I results. Conclusion Patients with disease evaluable only by MIBG and/or BM histology had a 21.7% CR rate to hu14.8-IL2, whereas patients with bulky disease did not respond. Hu14.18-IL2 warrants further testing in children with nonbulky high-risk neuroblastoma. J Clin Oncol 28:4969-4975.

However, how RSV exerts its beneficial health effects remains largely unknown. Here, we show that RSV inhibits insulin-and leucine-stimulated mTOR signaling in C2C12 fibroblasts via a Sirt1-independent mechanism. Treating C2C12 cells with RSV dramatically inhibited insulin-stimulated Akt, S6 kinase, and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation but had little effect on tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and activation of the p44/42MAPK signaling pathway. RSV treatment also partially blocked mTOR and S6 kinase phosphorylation in TSC1/2-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, suggesting the presence of an inhibitory site downstream of TSC1/2. Knocking out PDK1 or suppressing AMP-activated protein kinase had little effect on leucine-stimulated mTOR signaling. On the other hand, RSV significantly increased the association between mTOR and its inhibitor, DEPTOR. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of RSV on leucine-stimulated mTOR signaling was greatly reduced in cells in which the expression levels of DEPTOR were suppressed by RNAi. Taken together, our studies reveal that RSV inhibits leucine-stimulated mTORC1 activation by promoting mTOR/DEPTOR interaction and thus uncover a novel mechanism by which RSV negatively regulates mTOR activity.

Recently, short, noncoding, microRNAs have been identified as key regulators of lymphocyte function; however, it is unknown whether glucocorticoids regulate noncoding microRNAs and whether this regulation contributes to lymphocyte apoptosis. We now show by both microarray and deep sequencing analysis that microRNAs are substantially repressed during glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of primary rat thymocytes. Mechanistic studies revealed that primary microRNA transcripts were not repressed, whereas the expression of the key microRNA processing enzymes: Dicer, Drosha, and DGCR8/Pasha, were significantly reduced at both the mRNA and protein levels during glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. To delineate the role of Dicer depletion and microRNA repression in apoptosis, we silenced Dicer expression in two human leukemic cell lines and demonstrated that Dicer depletion significantly enhanced glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in both model systems. Finally, in vitro and in vivo overexpression of the conserved miR-17-92 polycistron, which was repressed significantly by dexamethasone treatment in both our microarray and deep sequencing studies, blunted glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. These studies provide evidence of altered post-transcriptional microRNA expression and the repression of the microRNA bioprocessing pathway during glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes, suggesting a role for microRNA processors and specific microRNAs in cell life/death decisions.

It was previously shown that SIRT6 mutant mice die before 4 weeks of age, displaying profound abnormalities, including low insulin, hypoglycemia, and premature aging. To investigate mechanisms underlying the pleiotropic phenotypes associated with SIRT6 deficiency, we generated mice carrying targeted disruption of SIRT6. We found that 60% of SIRT6(-/-) animals had very low levels of blood glucose and died shortly after weaning. The remaining animals, which have relatively higher concentrations of glucose, survived the early post-weaning lethality, but most died within one year of age. Significantly, feeding the mice with glucose-containing water increased blood glucose and rescued 83% of mutant mice, suggesting that the hypoglycemia is a major cause for the lethality. We showed that SIRT6 deficiency results in more abundant membrane association of glucose transporters 1 and 4, which enhances glucose uptake. We further demonstrated that SIRT6 negatively regulates AKT phosphorylation at Ser-473 and Thr-308 through inhibition of multiple upstream molecules, including insulin receptor, IRS1, and IRS2. The absence of SIRT6, consequently, enhances insulin signaling and activation of AKT, leading to hypoglycemia. These data uncover an essential role of SIRT6 in modulating glucose metabolism through mediating insulin sensitivity.

The extracellular domain of TLR3 dimerizes when it binds dsRNA, and the crystal structure of the dimeric complex reveals three sites of interaction on each extracellular domain, two that bind dsRNA and one that is responsible for dimer formation. The goal of this study was to determine which amino acid residues are essential for forming a stable receptor.ligand complex and whether dimerization of TLR3 is required for dsRNA binding. Using a novel ELISA to analyze dsRNA binding by mutant TLR3 constructs, we identified the essential interacting residues and determined that the simultaneous interaction of all three sites is required for ligand binding. In addition, we show that TLR3 is unable to bind dsRNA when dimerization is prevented by mutating residues in the dimerization site or by immobilizing TLR3 at low density. We conclude that dimerization of TLR3 is essential for ligand binding and that the three TLR3 contact sites individually interact weakly with their binding partners but together form a high affinity receptor.ligand complex.

In addition to fibril-forming oligomers, other soluble A beta forms (amyloid beta-derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs)) were also suggested to form and to present different morphologies and mechanisms of toxicity. One ADDL type, the "globulomer," apparently forms independently of the fibril aggregation pathway. Even though many studies argue that such soluble A beta oligomers are off fibril formation pathways, they may nonetheless share some structural similarity with protofibrils. NMR data of globulomer intermediates, "preglobulomers," suggested parallel in-register C-terminal beta-sheets, with different N-terminal conformations. Based on experimental data, we computationally investigate four classes of A beta dodecamers: fibril, fibril oligomer, prefibril/preglobulomer cluster, and globulomer models. Our simulations of the solvent protection of double-layered fibril and globulomer models reproduce experimental observations. Using a single layer A beta fibril oligomer beta-sheet model, we found that the C-terminal beta-sheet in the fibril oligomer is mostly curved, preventing it from quickly forming a fibril and leading to its breaking into shorter pieces. The simulations also indicate that beta-sheets packed orthogonally could be the most stable species for A beta dodecamers. The major difference between fibril-forming oligomers and ADDL-like oligomers (globulomers) could be the exposure of Met-35 patches. Although the Met-35 patches are necessarily exposed in fibril-forming oligomers to allow their maturation into fibrils, the Met-35 patches in the globulomer are covered by other residues in the orthogonally packed A beta peptides. Our results call attention to the possible existence of certain "critical intermediates" that can lead to both seeds and other soluble ADDL-like oligomers.

Dissecting the order and timing of these cleavage events and the steps leading up to them is difficult because the cleavage reaction is readily reversible. Here, we describe assays using activated Sin mutants and a DNA substrate with a 3'-bridging phosphorothiolate modification that renders Sin-mediated DNA cleavage irreversible. We find that activating Sin mutations promote DNA cleavage rather than simply stabilize the cleavage product. Cleavage events at the scissile phosphates on complementary strands of the duplex are tightly coupled, and the overall DNA cleavage rate is strongly dependent on Sin concentration. When combined with analytical ultracentrifugation data, these results suggest that Sin catalytic activity and oligomerization state are tightly linked, and that activating mutations promote formation of a cleavage-competent oligomeric state that is normally formed only transiently within the full synaptic complex.

TI Targeted Disruption of Ing2 Results in Defective Spermatogenesis and Development of Soft-Tissue Sarcomas SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID HISTONE-DEACETYLASE INHIBITOR; CHROMOSOME LONG ARM; TUMOR-SUPPRESSOR; GERM-CELL; CHROMATIN MODIFICATION; TESTICULAR CANCER; EPIGENETIC EVENTS; MEIOTIC PROPHASE; MALE-INFERTILITY; GENE-EXPRESSION AB ING2 (inhibitor of growth family, member 2) is a member of the plant homeodomain (PHD)-containing ING family of putative tumor suppressors. As part of mSin3A HDAC corepressor complexes, ING2 binds to tri-methylated lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) to regulate chromatin modification and gene expression. ING2 also functionally interacts with the tumor suppressor protein p53 to regulate cellular senescence, apoptosis and DNA damage response in vitro, and is thus expected to modulate carcinogenesis and aging. Here we investigate the developmental and physiological functions of Ing2 through targeted germline disruption. Consistent with its abundant expression in mouse and human testes, male mice deficient for Ing2 showed abnormal spermatogenesis and were infertile. Numbers of mature sperm and sperm motility were significantly reduced in Ing2(-/-) mice (similar to 2% of wild type, P<0.0001 and similar to 10% of wild type, P<0.0001, respectively). Their testes showed degeneration of seminiferous tubules, meiotic arrest before pachytene stage with incomplete meiotic recombination, induction of p53, and enhanced apoptosis. This phenotype was only partially abrogated by concomitant loss of p53 in the germline. The arrested spermatocytes in Ing2(-/-) testes were characterized by lack of specific HDAC1 accumulation and deregulated chromatin acetylation. The role of Ing2 in germ cell maturation may extend to human ING2 as well. Using publicly available gene expression datasets, low expression of ING2 was found in teratozoospermic sperm (>3-fold reduction) and in testes from patients with defective spermatogenesis (>7-fold reduction in Sertoli-cell only Syndrome). This study establishes ING2 as a novel regulator of spermatogenesis functioning through both p53- and chromatin-mediated mechanisms, suggests that an HDAC1/ING2/H3K4me3-regulated, stage-specific coordination of chromatin modifications is essential to normal spermatogenesis, and provides an animal model to study idiopathic and iatrogenic infertility in men. In addition, a bona fide tumor suppressive role of Ing2 is demonstrated by increased incidence of soft-tissue sarcomas in Ing2(-/-) mice.

TI Structure of the Human Dopamine D3 Receptor in Complex with a D2/D3 Selective Antagonist SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTORS; ANGSTROM CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE; 2ND EXTRACELLULAR LOOP; DRUG-SEEKING BEHAVIOR; BINDING-SITE CREVICE; D-3 RECEPTOR; BETA(2)-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR; INDUCED REINSTATEMENT; COCAINE-SEEKING; IONIC LOCK AB Dopamine modulates movement, cognition, and emotion through activation of dopamine G protein-coupled receptors in the brain. The crystal structure of the human dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) in complex with the small molecule D2R/D3R-specific antagonist eticlopride reveals important features of the ligand binding pocket and extracellular loops. On the intracellular side of the receptor, a locked conformation of the ionic lock and two distinctly different conformations of intracellular loop 2 are observed. Docking of R-22, a D3R-selective antagonist, reveals an extracellular extension of the eticlopride binding site that comprises a second binding pocket for the aryl amide of R-22, which differs between the highly homologous D2R and D3R. This difference provides direction to the design of D3R-selective agents for treating drug abuse and other neuropsychiatric indications. C1 [Chien, Ellen Y.

TI The common ancestry of life SO BIOLOGY DIRECT LA English DT Article ID ADAPTIVE EVOLUTION; LYSOZYMES; PROTEINS; SETS AB Background: It is common belief that all cellular life forms on earth have a common origin. This view is supported by the universality of the genetic code and the universal conservation of multiple genes, particularly those that encode key components of the translation system. A remarkable recent study claims to provide a formal, homology independent test of the Universal Common Ancestry hypothesis by comparing the ability of a common-ancestry model and a multiple-ancestry model to predict sequences of universally conserved proteins. Results: We devised a computational experiment on a concatenated alignment of universally conserved proteins which shows that the purported demonstration of the universal common ancestry is a trivial consequence of significant sequence similarity between the analyzed proteins. The nature and origin of this similarity are irrelevant for the prediction of "common ancestry" of by the model-comparison approach. Thus, homology (common origin) of the compared proteins remains an inference from sequence similarity rather than an independent property demonstrated by the likelihood analysis. Conclusion: A formal demonstration of the Universal Common Ancestry hypothesis has not been achieved and is unlikely to be feasible in principle. Nevertheless, the evidence in support of this hypothesis provided by comparative genomics is overwhelming.

TI Eradication of B-lineage cells and regression of lymphoma in a patient treated with autologous T cells genetically engineered to recognize CD19 SO BLOOD LA English DT Article ID CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR; HUMAN BONE-MARROW; IN-VIVO; ADOPTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY; ANTITUMOR-ACTIVITY; LYMPHOCYTES; ANTIBODY; DIFFERENTIATION; PERSISTENCE; EFFICACY AB Adoptive transfer of genetically modified T cells is an attractive approach for generating antitumor immune responses. We treated a patient with advanced follicular lymphoma by administering a preparative chemotherapy regimen followed by autologous T cells genetically engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that recognized the B-cell antigen CD19. The patient's lymphoma underwent a dramatic regression, and B-cell precursors were selectively eliminated from the patient's bone marrow after infusion of anti-CD19-CAR-transduced T cells. Blood B cells were absent for at least 39 weeks after anti-CD19-CAR-transduced T-cell infusion despite prompt recovery of other blood cell counts. Consistent with eradication of B-lineage cells, serum immunoglobulins decreased to very low levels after treatment. The prolonged and selective elimination of B-lineage cells could not be attributed to the chemotherapy that the patient received and indicated antigen-specific eradication of B-lineage cells. Adoptive transfer of anti-CD19-CAR-expressing T cells is a promising new approach for treating B-cell malignancies. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00924326.

As microbial products have been shown to translocate from the gastrointestinal tract into circulation in chronically HIV/Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected individuals, we conducted a study of V delta 1 and V delta 2 T-cell frequency, phenotype, and function in blood, spleen, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal mucosa, and bronchoalveolar lavage of uninfected and chronically SIVsmE543-infected rhesus macaques (RMs). We found: (1) SIV-associated inversion of V delta 1/V delta 2 T cells occurs in blood and in several tissues; (2) gamma delta T cells are not infected by SIV in vivo; (3) the V delta 1/V delta 2 inversion involves expansion of V delta 1 T cells; (4) expanded V delta 1 T cells are phenotypically and functionally different from V delta 1 T cells from uninfected RMs; and (5) the stimulus underlying expansion of V delta 1 T cells appears to be microbial translocation. These data highlight the importance of microbial translocation-induced immune activation in chronically infected individuals and provide new insights into an immune dysregulation phenomenon that is a hallmark of HIV/SIV infection. These findings may lead to novel therapeutic interventions that improve the immune responses against microbial antigens, and thus, decrease microbial translocation-induced immune activation.

TI Th17 immune responses contribute to the pathophysiology of aplastic anemia SO BLOOD LA English DT Article ID BONE-MARROW FAILURE; REGULATORY T-CELLS; GROWTH-FACTOR-BETA; CLINICAL-RELEVANCE; FAMILY-MEMBERS; MOUSE MODEL; IL-17; DISEASE; INTERLEUKIN-17; INFLAMMATION AB T helper type 17 (Th17) cells have been characterized based on production of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and association with autoimmune diseases. We studied the role of Th17 cells in aplastic anemia (AA) by isolating Th17 cells from patients blood (n = 41) and bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cells (n = 7). The frequency and total number of CD3(+)CD4(+)IL-17-producing T cells were increased in AA patients at presentation compared with healthy controls (P = .0007 and .02, respectively) and correlated with disease activity. There was an inverse relationship between the numbers of Th17 cells and CD4(+)CD25(high)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the blood of AA patients. Concomitant with the classical Th1 response, we detected the presence of CD4(+) and CD8(+) IL-17-producing T cells in a mouse model of lymph node infusion-induced BM failure. Although anti-IL-17 treatment did not abrogate BM failure, early treatment with the anti-IL-17 antibody reduced the severity of BM failure with significantly higher platelet (P < .01) and total BM cell (P < .05) counts at day 10. Recipients that received anti-IL-17 treatment had significantly fewer Th1 cells (P < .01) and more Treg cells (P < .05) at day 10 after lymph node infusion. Th17 immune responses contribute to AA pathophysiology, especially at the early stage during disease progression.

There are no effective therapies for this illness, and pathogenetic mechanisms remain undefined. Here we report that the survivin was highly expressed in both aggressive and chronic leukemic NK cells but not in normal NK cells. In vitro treatment of human and rat NK-LGL leukemia cells with cell-permeable, short-chain C-6-ceramide (C-6) in nanoliposomal formulation led to caspase-dependent apoptosis and diminished survivin protein expression, in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Importantly, systemic intravenous delivery of nanoliposomal ceramide induced complete remission in the syngeneic Fischer F344 rat model of aggressive NK-LGL leukemia. Therapeutic efficacy was associated with decreased expression of survivin in vivo. These data suggest that in vivo targeting of survivin through delivery of nanoliposomal C-6-ceramide may be a promising therapeutic approach for a fatal leukemia.

TI InterLymph hierarchical classification of lymphoid neoplasms for epidemiologic research based on the WHO classification (2008): update and future directions SO BLOOD LA English DT Article ID NON-HODGKIN-LYMPHOMA; B-CELL LYMPHOMA; GENE-EXPRESSION; POOLED ANALYSIS; UNDETERMINED SIGNIFICANCE; MONOCLONAL GAMMOPATHY; CONSORTIUM INTERLYMPH; FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMAS; PROGNOSTIC INDEX; UNITED-STATES AB After publication of the updated World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues in 2008, the Pathology Working Group of the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) now presents an update of the hierarchical classification of lymphoid neoplasms for epidemiologic research based on the 2001 WHO classification, which we published in 2007. The updated hierarchical classification incorporates all of the major and provisional entities in the 2008 WHO classification, including newly defined entities based on age, site, certain infections, and molecular characteristics, as well as borderline categories, early and "in situ" lesions, disorders with limited capacity for clinical progression, lesions without current International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition codes, and immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders. WHO subtypes are defined in hierarchical groupings, with newly defined groups for small B-cell lymphomas with plasmacytic differentiation and for primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. We suggest approaches forapplying the hierarchical classification in various epidemiologic settings, including strategies for dealing with multiple coexisting lymphoma subtypes in one patient, and cases with incomplete pathologic information. The pathology materials useful for state-of-the-art epidemiology studies are also discussed. We encourage epidemiologists to adopt the updated InterLymph hierarchical classification, which incorporates the most recent WHO entities while demonstrating their relationship to older classifications.

TI Anthrax Toxin Targeting of Myeloid Cells through the CMG2 Receptor Is Essential for Establishment of Bacillus anthracis Infections in Mice SO CELL HOST & MICROBE LA English DT Article ID CAPILLARY MORPHOGENESIS PROTEIN-2; LETHAL TOXIN; MACROPHAGE SENSITIVITY; KINASE-KINASE; SUSCEPTIBILITY; INACTIVATION; SUFFICIENT; ANTIBODY AB Bacillus anthracis kills through a combination of bacterial infection and toxemia. Anthrax toxin working via the CMG2 receptor mediates lethality late in infection, but its roles early in infection remain unclear. We generated myeloid-lineage specific CMG2-deficient mice to examine the roles of macrophages, neutrophils, and other myeloid cells in anthrax pathogenesis. Macrophages and neutrophils isolated from these mice were resistant to anthrax toxin. However, the myeloid-specific CMG2-deficient mice remained fully sensitive to both anthrax lethal and edema toxins, demonstrating that targeting of myeloid cells is not responsible for anthrax toxin-induced lethality. Surprisingly, the myeloid-specific CMG2-deficient mice were completely resistant to B. anthracis infection. Neutrophil depletion experiments suggest that B. anthracis relies on anthrax toxin secretion to evade the scavenging functions of neutrophils to successfully establish infection. This work demonstrates that anthrax toxin uptake through CMG2 and the resulting impairment of myeloid cells are essential to anthrax infection.
