TI PapR peptide maturation: role of the NprB protease in Bacillus cereus 569 PlcR/PapR global gene regulation SO FEMS IMMUNOLOGY AND MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Bacillus cereus; Bacillus anthracis; PlcR; PapR regulation; quorum sensing; protease; peptide ID SIGNALING PEPTIDE; PHOSPHOLIPASE-C; LETHAL FACTOR; PLCR REGULON; ANTHRACIS; THURINGIENSIS; VIRULENCE; SUBTILIS; BACTERIA; SEQUENCE AB The global transcriptional regulator PlcR controls gene expression in Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis. Activity of PlcR is regulated by PapR, the product of an ORF located immediately downstream of plcR. To be active in B. cereus, PapR must be secreted and then processed to the mature peptide by an unknown protease. This peptide is transported by an oligopeptide permease into the cell, where it activates PlcR. In this study, we show that the neutral protease B (NprB) secreted by B. cereus 569 is required for extracellular PapR maturation. Purified recombinant NprB processed the synthetic PapR propeptide to produce a set of peptides derived from the C-terminal domain of PapR. Supplementation of growth media with synthetic PapR-derived C-terminal 5-, 7-, 8- and 27-amino acid (aa) peptides caused activation of intracellular PlcR in a PapR-deficient strain of B. cereus 569 while only the 5- and 7-aa peptides activated PlcR in a nprB mutant. The maximum activity was found for the 7-mer peptide. However, even the 7-mer peptide could not activate PlcR with a C-terminal truncation of as few as 6 aa. This indicates that interactions of the C-terminal regions of both PlcR and PapR are important in transcriptional activation of the B. cereus 569 PlcR regulon.

Humans ingest Cr(III) both as a natural dietary constituent and in dietary supplements taken for weight loss and antidiabetic effects. Chromium picolinate (CP), a widely used supplement, contains Cr(III) chelated with three molecules of picolinic acid and was formulated in an attempt to improve the absorption of Cr(III). In order to examine the potential for CP to induce chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity, the NTP conducted studies of the monohydrate form (CPM) in groups of 50 male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice exposed in feed to concentrations of 0, 2000, 10,000 or 50,000 ppm for 2 years; exposure concentrations were selected following review of the data from NTP 3-month toxicity studies. Exposure to CPM did not induce biologically significant changes in survival, body weight, feed consumption, or non-neoplastic lesions in rats or mice. In male rats, a statistically significant increase in the incidence of preputial gland adenoma at 10,000 ppm was considered an equivocal finding. CPM was not carcinogenic to female rats or to male or female mice. Published by Elsevier Ltd. C1 [Stout, M. D.; Collins, B. J.; Witt, K. L.; Kissling, G. E.; Malarkey, D. E.; Hooth, M.

TI Immuno-spin trapping of protein and DNA radicals: "Tagging" free radicals to locate and understand the redox process SO FREE RADICAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE LA English DT Review DE Reactive oxygen species; Free radicals; Spin trap; Immuno-spin trapping; Immunoassay; Mass spectrometry; Confocal microscopy; Molecular resonance imaging ID IN-VIVO DETECTION; HYDROGEN-PEROXIDE; MASS-SPECTROMETRY; OXIDATIVE DAMAGE; POTENTIAL MECHANISM; MEDIATED OXIDATION; TRYPANOSOMA-CRUZI; ELECTRON-TRANSFER; CYTOCHROME-C; IDENTIFICATION AB Biomolecule-centered radicals are intermediate species produced during both reversible (redox modulation) and irreversible (oxidative stress) oxidative modification of biomolecules. These oxidative processes must be Studied in situ and in real time to understand the molecular mechanism of cell adaptation or death in response to changes in the extracellular environment. In this regard, we have developed and validated immuno-spin trapping to tag the redox process, tracing the oxidatively generated modification of biomolecules, in situ and in real time, by detecting protein- and DNA-centered radicals. The purpose of this methods article is to introduce and Update the basic methods and applications of immuno-spin trapping for the study of redox biochemistry in oxidative stress and redox regulation. We describe in detail the production, detection, and location of protein and DNA radicals in biochemical systems, cells, and tissues, and in the whole animal as well, by using immuno-spin trapping with the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide.

TI Multiple endoscopic biopsies in research subjects: safety results from a National Institutes of Health series SO GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOSCOPY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Digestive Disease Week Meeting/109th Annual Meeting of the American-Gastroenterological-Association CY MAY 17-22, 2008 CL San Diego, CA SP Amer Gastroenterol Assoc ID GASTROINTESTINAL-ENDOSCOPY; COLONIC HEMORRHAGE; ULCERATIVE-COLITIS; COLD BIOPSY; COMPLICATIONS; COLONOSCOPY AB Background: Routine endoscopic mucosal biopsies are generally considered safe. However, the outcomes of performing large numbers of biopsies in Subjects enrolled in research protocols have not been reported. Objective: Our purpose was to assess the safety of taking numerous mucosal biopsy specimens during endoscopic procedures (eg, >20/endoscopic procedure) in research subjects. Design: Single-center retrospective chart review. Setting: Research hospital: National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center. Patients: Volunteers who underwent research protocol endoscopies with large numbers of biopsies during 2001 to 2008 at the NIH. Main Outcome Measurements: Charts were reviewed for the occurrence of procedure-related major/minor complications. Results: A total of 253 research endoscopies were performed on 133 patients: 169 colonoscopies, 64 sigmoidoscopies, and 20 upper endoscopies. A total of 9,661 biopsy specimens were obtained for research and histopathologic examination (mean 38.2 +/- 15.6 per procedure). No major complications were identified. Minor complications occurred with 13 (5.1%) lower endoscopic procedures and included self-limited bleeding (4), pain (5), or both (4). There was no statistically significant association between the number of biopsies, type of procedure, location of research biopsies, operator, polypectomy, or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the risk of complications. Limitations: Retrospective design, modest sample size. Conclusions: This is the first report on the safety of performing large numbers of endoscopic biopsies in research subjects. This practice is well tolerated and appears to have no more than minimal risk Without appreciably increasing the risk of otherwise routine endoscopy (Gastrointest Endosc 2009;69:906-10.)

TI Oral Facial Clefts and Gene Polymorphisms in Metabolism of Folate/One-Carbon and Vitamin A: A Pathway-Wide Association Study SO GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE cleft lip; cleft palate; dietary supplements; folic acid; genetics; metabolism; vitamin A ID GLUTAMATE-CARBOXYPEPTIDASE-II; GROWTH-FACTOR-ALPHA; CASE-PARENT TRIADS; OROFACIAL CLEFTS; RETINOIC ACID; MULTIVITAMIN USE; RISK-FACTORS; PALATE; LIP; POPULATION AB An increased risk of facial clefts has been observed among mothers with lower intake of folic acid or vitamin A around conception. We hypothesized that the risk of clefts may be further moderated by genes involved in metabolizing folate or vitamin A. We included 425 case-parent triads in which the child had either cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) or cleft palate only (CPO), and no other major defects. We analyzed 108 SNPs and one insertion in 29 genes involved in folate/one-carbon metabolism and 68 SNPs from 16 genes involved in vitamin A metabolism. Using the Triad Multi-Marker (TRIMM) approach we performed SNP, gene, chromosomal region, and pathway-Mde association tests of child or maternal genetic effects for both CL/P and CPO. We stratified these analyses on maternal intake of folic acid or vitamin A during the periconceptional period. As expected with this high number of statistical tests, there were many associations with P-values<0.05; although there were fewer than predicted by chance alone. The strongest association in our data (between fetal FOLH1 and CPO, P = 0.0008) is not in agreement with epidemiologic evidence that folic acid reduces the risk of CL/P in these data, not CPO. Despite strong evidence for genetic causes of oral facial clefts and the protective effects of maternal vitamins, we found no convincing indication that polymorphisms in these vitamin metabolism genes play an etiologic role.

TI Divergent patterns of selection on the DAB and DXB MHC class II loci in Xiphophorus fishes SO GENETICA LA English DT Article DE Swordtail fish; Major histocompatibility complex; Positive selection; Non-classical MHC II locus ID MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX; BALANCING SELECTION; NATURAL-SELECTION; GENE FAMILY; HLA-DM; POLYMORPHISM; RECOMBINATION; MOLECULES; LIKELIHOOD; DIVERSIFICATION AB Two MHC class II loci, DAB (a classical class II locus) and DXB (putatively a non-classical class II locus), were sequenced in samples of individuals from two populations of swordtail fish, Xiphophorus multilineatus and X. pygmaeus. The DAB locus showed higher levels of genetic variation in the B1-encoding region, (putative binding region) than the DXB locus. We used two methods to investigate d(N)/d(S) ratios. The results from a maximum likelihood method based on phylogenetic relationships indicated positive selection on the B1 region of DAB (this method could not be used on DXB). Results from a coalescent-based method also showed evidence for positive selection in the B1 region of DAB, but only weak evidence for selection on the DXB. Further analyses indicated that recombination is an important source of variation in the B1 region of DAB, but has a relatively small effect on DXB. Overall, our results were consistent with the hypothesis that the DAB locus is under positive selection driven by antagonistic coevolution, and that the DXB locus plays the role of a non-classical MHC II locus. We also used simulations to investigate the presence of an elevated synonymous substitution rate in the binding region. The simulations revealed that the elevated rate could be caused by an interaction between positive selection and codon bias.

Microsatellite markers with ail average spacing of 3 Mb were selected front sequence traces of the cat 1.9X whole genome sequence (WGS), including the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1). Extreme variation in recombination rates (centimorgans per megabase) was observed along the X chromosome, ranging from a virtual absence of recombination events in a region estimated to be >30 Mb to recombination frequencies of 15.7 cM/Mb in a segment estimated to be <0.3 Mb. This detailed linkage map was applied to position the X-linked orange gene, placing this locus on the q arm of the X chromosome, as opposed to a previously reported location on the p arm. Fine mapping placed the locus between markers at positions 106 and 116.8 Mb in the Current 1.9X-coverage sequence assembly of the cat genome. Haplotype analysis revealed potential recombination events that could reduce the size of the candidate region to 3.5 Mb and suggested Multiple Origins for the orange phenotype in the domestic cat. Furthermore, epistasis of orange over nonagouti was demonstrated at the genetic level.

However, with advances in genotyping and genome sequencing, genomic characterization of natural populations has become feasible. Using sequence data and SNP genotypes, we measured LD and modeled the demographic history of wild canid populations and domestic dog breeds. In I I gray Wolf Populations and one Coyote Population, we find that the extent of LD as measured by the distance at which r(2) = 0.2 extends <10 kb in outbred populations to >1.7 Mb in populations that have experienced significant founder events and bottlenecks. This large range in the extent of LD parallels that observed in 18 dog breeds where the r(2) value varies from similar to 20 kb to >5 Mb. Furthermore, in modeling demographic history under a composite-likelihood framework, we find that two of five wild canid populations exhibit evidence of a historical population contraction. Five domestic dog breeds display evidence for a minor population contraction during domestication and a more severe contraction during breed formation. Only a 5% reduction in nucleotide diversity was observed as a result of domestication, whereas the loss of nucleotide diversity with breed formation averaged 35%.

Methods: We conducted 10 racially concordant focus groups of primary care physicians in five metropolitan areas in the United States. Ninety board certified or eligible general internists (50 self-identified whites and 40 self-identified blacks) participated in the study, Analysis included a two-stage independent review and adjudication process. Results: Both black and white physicians concluded that the race of the patient is medically relevant but did not agree upon why race is important in clinical decisions. They were reticent to make connections among race, genetics, and disease and asserted that genetics has a limited role in explaining racial differences in health. However, they were enthusiastic about the future of genomic medicine, believing that the main benefit will be the potential to improve the efficacy of commonly used drugs. Conclusions: Understanding the similarities and differences between black and white physicians' attitudes and beliefs about race, health and genetics is important for the translation of genomics to clinical care.

Here, we use a mouse erythroleukemia cell (MEL) system for studying how repetitive DNA assumes or is assembled into different chromatin structures. We show that human gamma-satellite DNA arrays allow a transcriptionally permissive chromatin conformation in an adjacent transgene and efficiently protect it from epigenetic silencing. These arrays contain CTCF and Ikaros binding sites. In MEL cells, this gamma-satellite DNA activity depends on binding of Ikaros proteins involved in differentiation along the hematopoietic pathway. Given our discovery of gamma-satellite DNA in pericentromeric regions of most human chromosomes and a dynamic chromatin state of gamma-satellite arrays in their natural location, we suggest that gamma-satellite DNA represents a unique region of the functional centromere with a possible role in preventing heterochromatin spreading beyond the pericentromeric region.

TI A high-resolution cat radiation hybrid and integrated FISH mapping resource for phylogenomic studies across Felidae SO GENOMICS LA English DT Article DE Domestic cat; Radiation hybrid map; Comparative mapping; FISH mapping; Synteny; Chromosome rearrangement; Felidae ID MAMMALIAN CHROMOSOME EVOLUTION; DOMESTIC CAT; GENOME; MAP; MUTATION; TYROSINASE; PATTERNS; SEQUENCE; CANIDAE; DOG AB We describe the construction of a high-resolution radiation hybrid (RH) map of the domestic cat genome, which includes 2662 markers, translating to an estimated average intermarker distance of 939 kilobases (kb). Targeted marker selection utilized the recent feline 1.9x genome assembly, concentrating on regions of low marker density on feline autosomes and the X chromosome, in addition to regions flanking interspecies chromosomal breakpoints. Average gap (breakpoint) size between cat-human ordered conserved segments is less than 900 kb. The map was used for a fine-scale comparison of conserved syntenic blocks with the human and canine genomes. Corroborative fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) data were generated using 129 domestic cat BAC clones as probes, providing independent confirmation of the long-range correctness of the map. Cross-species hybridization of BAC probes on divergent felids from the genera Profelis (serval) and Panthera (snow leopard) provides further evidence for karyotypic conservation within felids, and demonstrates the utility of such probes for future studies of chromosome evolution within the cat family and in related carnivores. The integrated map constitutes a comprehensive framework for identifying genes controlling feline phenotypes of interest, and to aid in assembly of a higher coverage feline genome sequence.

TI An autosomal genetic linkage map of the domestic cat, Felis silvestris catus SO GENOMICS LA English DT Article DE Domestic cat; Genetic linkage map; STRs; Microsatellites ID RADIATION HYBRID MAP; GENOME; MICROSATELLITES; MOUSE; TYROSINASE; MUTATIONS; PHENOTYPE; EVOLUTION; DELETION AB We report on the completion of an autosomal genetic linkage (GL) map of the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus). Unlike two previous linkage maps of the cat constructed with a hybrid pedigree between the domestic cat and the Asian leopard cat, this map was generated entirely with domestic cats, using a large multigenerational pedigree (n=256) maintained by the Nestle Purina PetCare Company. Four hundred eighty-three simple tandem repeat (STR) loci have been assigned to linkage groups on the cat's 18 autosomes. A single linkage group spans each autosome. The length of the cat map, estimated at 4370 cM, is long relative to most reported mammalian maps. A high degree of concordance in marker order was observed between the third-generation map and the 1.5 Mb-resolution radiation hybrid (RH) map of the cat. Using the cat 1.9x whole-genome sequence, we identified map coordinates for 85% of the loci in the cat assembly, with high concordance observed in marker order between the linkage map and the cat sequence assembly. The present version represents a marked improvement over previous cat linkage maps as it (i) nearly doubles the number of markers that were present in the second-generation linkage map in the cat, (ii) provides a linkage map generated in a domestic cat pedigree which will more accurately reflect recombination distances than previous maps generated in a hybrid pedigree, and (iii) provides single linkage groups spanning each autosome. Marker order was largely consistent between this and the previous maps, though the use of a hybrid pedigree in the earlier versions appears to have contributed to some suppression of recombination. The improved linkage map will provide an added resource for the mapping of phenotypic variation in the domestic cat and the use of this species as a model system for biological research.

We used two microarray platforms to identify global gene expression changes associated with well-characterized occupational benzene exposure in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of a population of shoe-factory workers. Differential expression of 2692 genes (Affymetrix) and 1828 genes (Illumina) was found and the concordance was 50% (based on an average fold-change >= 1.3 from the two platforms), with similar expression ratios among the concordant genes. Four genes (CXCL16, ZNF331, JUN and PF4), which we previously identified by microarray and confirmed by real-time PCR, were among the top 100 genes identified by both platforms in the current study. Gene ontology analysis showed overrepresentation of genes involved in apoptosis among the concordant genes while pathway analysis identified pathways related to lipid metabolism. The two-platform approach allows for robust changes in the PBMC transcriptome of benzene-exposed individuals to be identified. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Expression of some mGluRs, such as Group II and III mGluRs, has been reported in microglia and may affect their activation. However, the expression and role of mGluR5 in microglia is unclear. Using immunocytochemistry and Western blot, we demonstrate that mGluR5 protein is expressed in primary microglial cultures. Activation of mGluR5 using the selective agonist (RS)-2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine (CHPG) significantly reduces microglial activation in response to lipopolysaccharide, as indicated by a reduction in nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species, and TNF alpha production. Microglial induced neurotoxicity is also markedly reduced by CHPG treatment. The anti-inflammatory effects of CHPG are not observed in microglial cultures from mGluR5 knockout mice and are blocked by selective mGluR5 antagonists, suggesting that these actions are mediated by the mGluR5 receptor. Anti-inflammatory actions of mGluR5 activation are attenuated by phospholipase C and protein kinase C inhibitors, as well as by calcium chelators, suggesting that the mGluR5 activation in microglia involves the G(alpha q)-protein signal transduction pathway. These data indicate that microglial mGluR5 may represent a novel target for modulating neuroinflammation, an important component of both acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders.

The presence of this widespread protein modification has been known for decades, yet identification of its biological functions has been hampered by the redundancy and complexity of the enzyme family controlling the initiation of O-glycosylation, as well as the diversity of extensions of the core sugar. Recent studies in organisms as diverse as mammals and Drosophila have yielded insights into the function of this highly abundant and evolutionarily-conserved protein modification. Gaining an understanding of mucin-type O-glycans in these diverse systems will elucidate crucial conserved processes underlying many aspects of development and homeostasis.

Past studies report variation in IGF levels among race/ethnic groups known to differ in disease incidence. This paper reports on race/ethnic variation in serum levels of IGF-I and IGF-BP3 in a nationally representative and ethnically diverse sample of US adults. Design: Serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels from the fasting subsamples (n = 6061) of respondents to the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Surgery III (NHANES III) were analyzed using an IGF-I ELISA (Diagnostic Systems Laboratory (DSL 10-5600) and an IGFBP-3 IRMA (DSN 6600). The NHANES is a combined examination and interview survery of a nationally representative sample of US adults. Regression analyses were used to estmiate cross-sectional associations between the IGF axis and demographic variables. Results: In unadjusted analysis, serum IGF-I levels were higher in males than in females, and IGFBP-3 levels were higher in females than in males. Both analytes were lower in older adults. Univariate analyses indicate that serum levels of IGF-I are lower in female Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) (256 [4,9]) and Hispanies (249 [6.6]) than in Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) (281 [4.9]). However, in males, IGF levels in NHWs (287 [3.6]) and NHBs (284 [4.3]) are similar and levels in Mexican Americans are only moderately reduced (265 [3.4]). Notably, NHB's have the highest molar ratio of IGF-I:IGFBP-3 at all ages. After adjustment for age and BMI, gender and race/ethnicity differences persist. Conclusions: These cross-sectional data support exploration of the IGF axis as an explanation for some race/ethnic differences in cancer incidence. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The authors therefore analyzed data of U. S. adults (N = 1,918) who reported working outside the home and eating lunch. The majority (84.0%) of workers had a break room. About one half (54.0%) purchased lunch = 2 times/week, with higher percentages for males, Blacks, younger (age 18-34 years) versus older adults (age 55 years or older), and obese versus normal-weight persons. The most important lunch food choice value was convenience (34.3%), followed by taste (27.8%), cost (20.8%), and health (17.1%). The typical source for purchasing lunch was a fast-food restaurant (43.4%), followed by on-site cafeteria/snack shop (25.3%), full-service restaurant (16.9%), supermarket (5.2%), vending machine (4.4%), and convenience store (4.0%); younger adults and those less educated relied more on fast-food places. This study identifies individual factors and values that may influence future dietary health initiatives in the work site.

Patients have very short germline telomeres, and approximately half have mutations in one of six genes encoding proteins that maintain telomere function. Accurate diagnosis of DC is critical to ensure proper clinical management, because patients who have DC and bone marrow failure do not respond to immunosuppressive therapy and may have increased morbidity and mortality associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The BTXs function by locking open sodium-ion channels of nerve and muscle, thereby depolarizing them. The structures and pharmacology of the BTXs were determined by a team led by John W. Daly. This research started a 40 year long study of alkaloids from frog skin, whereby John and his team identified and/or characterized more than 800 such alkaloids. The source of the BTXs, not synthesized but sequestered from diet by the frogs, is briefly discussed, in the context of the occurrence of BTXs in birds of Papua New Guinea and in a small melyrid beetle found there. Emphasized is the critical importance of maintaining and safe-guarding the large collection of frog-skin extracts and data accumulated since. C1 [Garraffo, H.

It is characteristic of opioids; however, in this instance it was not blocked by a morphine-antagonist, naloxone. Its site of action was soon shown to be a nicotinic receptor. The determination of the structure of this novel analgesic named epibatidine has led to a renaissance of research into controlling pain via nicotinic pathways (thereby minimizing the risk of tolerance/addiction) and the synthesis of many analogs, some of which are discussed.

Over the past 40 years, more than 800 alkaloids, which are generally organized into 28 structural classes, have been identified in several lineages of poison frogs worldwide. Originally, the presence of alkaloids in frogs was thought to be the result of biosynthesis, however research led largely by John W. Daly resulted in the discovery that most of these alkaloids are sequestered unchanged from dietary arthropods. In the present paper, we review the most significant findings and studies that led to the proposal of the 'dietary hypothesis'.

Koch) is a leguminous tree reputed to be toxic to livestock and to contain the toxic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist cytisine. Analysis of extracts of various tree parts by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry failed to reveal the presence of cytisine. Neither [H-3]-epibatidine binding in rat cerebral cortex nor functional fluorescence assays in cultured cells expressing nicotinic receptor subunits indicated significant activity. However, a novel purine alkaloid, 3-((E)-3-methylbuta-1,3-dienyl)-1,7-dimethylisoguanine, which we have named dioicine, was identified as the major lipophilic alkaloid in the methanolic extract from leaves and seeds. Dioicine and its hydrolysis products are likely to be responsible for the historical use of the tree's seeds as a coffee substitute. Herein we describe the isolation, structure elucidation and preliminary biological characterization of dioicine.

While bipyridyls have served as useful scaffolds for development of industrial and pesticidal chemicals, their biological properties are still not well understood. Only 2,3'-bipyridyl, of the six isomeric bipyridyls, has been reported as a natural product in tobacco plants and in a hoplonemertine marine worm, Amphiporus angulatus (Aa), which uses its pyridyl alkaloid-rich venom to paralyze its crustacean prey and chemically defend itself against predators. Here we report for the first time the synthesis and spectroscopic properties of all eight possible methyl 2,3'-bipyridyl isomers and use this data to identify a trace alkaloidal constituent of Aa as 3-methyl-2,3'-bipyridyl. This is only the second reported instance of a methyl-bipyridyl being found as a natural product, the first being the tobacco alkaloid 5-methyl-2,3'-bipyridyl.

The subcellular expression of maspin was determined in 80 resected pulmonary adenocarcinomas (Stage I, 46; Stage II, 10; Stage III, 20; Stage IV, 4) and correlated with histological grade, proliferative rate, p53 expression, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A levels, and prognosis (mean follow-up of 41.5 months). Cases with nuclear (N) maspin (n = 47), compared with the [N + cytoplasmic (C)] group (n = 28), showed lower (P <= 0.05): histological grade, proliferative rate, p53 expression and VEGF-A levels. Cox multivariate analysis revealed in stage I adenocarcinomas (N) maspin as the only predictor of improved survival.

Contemporary environments have predictable and Unlimited food availability, an attenuated seasonality due to artificial lighting, indoor heating during the winter and air conditioning during the summer, and promote sedentariness and overeating. In this setting the thrifty genes are constantly activated to enhance energy storage. Psychosocial stress and sleep deprivation are other features of modern societies. Stress-induced hypercortisolemia in the setting Of Unlimited food supply promotes adiposity. Modern man is becoming obese because these ancient mechanisms are efficiently promoting a positive energy balance. We propose that in today's plentifully provisioned societies, where sedentariness and mental stress have become typical traits, chronic activation of the neuroendocrine systems may contribute to the increased prevalence of obesity. We suggest that some of the yet Unidentified thrifty genes may be linked to highly conserved energy sensing mechanisms (AMP kinase, mTOR kinase). These hypotheses are testable. Rural societies that are becoming rapidly industrialized and are witnessing a dramatic increase in obesity may provide a historical opportunity to conduct epidemiological studies of the thrifty genotype. In experimental settings, the effects of various forms of psychosocial stress in increasing metabolic efficiency and gene expression can be further tested.

Patients with MEN2 PHEOs have a high incidence of paroxysmal attacks and a higher prevalence of hypertension and other cardiovascular problems than do patients with Von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) PHEOs. Compared to measurements of deconjugated metanephrines, plasma concentrations of free metanephrines are relatively independent of renal function and therefore more suitable for diagnosis of PHEO/PGL. Recently, the focus of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for these tumors has been the localization of PHEO. Although a limited number of studies are available, [F-18]-fluorodopamine ([F-18]DA) PET has been found to be the best overall imaging modality in the localization of PHEO. For adrenal PHEOs, this method seems to be comparable to other functional modalities such as [F-18]-fluorodopa ([F-18]DOPA) PET or [I-123]-metaiodobenzylguanidine ([I-123]MIBG) scintigraphy. For extraadrenal PHEOs, data are limited and more extensive studies are needed. In patients with metastatic PHEO, the sensitivity of [F-18] DA PET is superior to [I-123] MIBG. The so called "flip-flop" imaging showing superiority of non-specific [F-18] flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET over specific [F-18] DA PET has been described in rapidly progressive, often metastatic SDHB-associated PHEOs. Whether these data reflect PHEO cell dedifferentiation (e.g. losing Norepinephrine Transporter - NET) or increased metabolic rate remains to be established.

We analyze the accuracy of gray and white matter Volume measurements and their robustness against changes of image quality using the BrainWeb MRI database. These images are based on "gold-standard" reference brain templates. This allows us to assess between- (same data set, different method) and also within-segmenter (same method, variation of image quality) comparability, for both of which we find pronounced variations in segmentation results for gray and white matter volumes. The calculated volumes deviate up to >10% from the reference values for gray and white matter depending on method and image quality. Sensitivity is best for SPM5, volumetric accuracy for gray and white matter was similar in SPM5 and FSL and batter than in FreeSurfer. FSL showed the highest stability for white (<5%), FreeSurfer (6.2%) for gray matter for constant image quality BrainWeb data. Between-segmenter comparisons show discrepancies of Lip to >20% for the simulated data and 24% on average for the real data sets, whereas within-method performance analysis uncovered volume differences of tip to >15%. Since the discrepancies between results reach the same order of magnitude as volume changes observed in disease, these effects limit the usability of the segmentation methods for following volume changes in individual patients over time and should be taken into account during the planning and analysis of brain volume studies.

This study investigates the promoter of the human MTHFD1 gene in a bid to understand how this gene is controlled and regulated. Following a combination of in silico and molecular approaches, we report that MTHFD1 expression is controlled by a TATA-less, Initiator-less promoter and transcription is initiated at multiple start sites over a 126 bp region. We confirmed the presence of three database polymorphisms (dbSNP) by direct sequencing of the upstream region (rs1076991 C > T, rs8010584 G > A, rs4243628 G > T), with a fourth (dbSNP rs746488 A > T) not found to be polymorphic in our population and no novel polymorphisms identified. We demonstrate that a common SNP rs1076991 C > T within the window of transcriptional initiation exerts a significant effect on promoter activity in vitro. We investigated this SNP as a potential risk factor for NTDs in a large homogenous Irish population and determined that it is not an independent risk factor, but, it does increase both case (chi (2) = 11.06, P = 0.001) and maternal (chi (2) = 6.68, P = 0.01) risk when allele frequencies were analysed in combination with the previously identified disease-associated p.R653Q (c.1958 G > A; dbSNP rs2236225) polymorphism. These results provide the first insight into how MTHFD1 is regulated and further emphasise its importance during embryonic development.

TI Association of Y chromosome haplogroup I with HIV progression, and HAART outcome SO HUMAN GENETICS LA English DT Article ID IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1; AUTOIMMUNE-DISEASE; GENETIC RESTRICTION; INFECTIOUS-DISEASES; NATURAL-HISTORY; VIRAL LOAD; AIDS; ANTIGEN; SEROCONVERSION; POPULATIONS AB The host genetic basis of differential outcomes in HIV infection, progression, viral load set point and highly active retroviral therapy (HAART) responses was examined for the common Y haplogroups in European Americans and African Americans. Accelerated progression to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and related death in European Americans among Y chromosome haplogroup I (Y-I) subjects was discovered. Additionally, Y-I haplogroup subjects on HAART took a longer time to HIV-1 viral suppression and were more likely to fail HAART. Both the accelerated progression and longer time to viral suppression results observed in haplogroup Y-I were significant after false-discovery-rate corrections. A higher frequency of AIDS-defining illnesses was also observed in haplogroup Y-I. These effects were independent of the previously identified autosomal AIDS restriction genes. When the Y-I haplogroup subjects were further subdivided into six I subhaplogroups, no one subhaplogroup accounted for the effects on HIV progression, viral load or HAART response. Adjustment of the analyses for population stratification found significant and concordant haplogroup Y-I results. The Y chromosome haplogroup analyses of HIV infection and progression in African Americans were not significant. Our results suggest that one or more loci on the Y chromosome found on haplogroup Y-I have an effect on AIDS progression and treatment responses in European Americans.

These mutations lead to protein aggregation and formation of Rosenthal fibers, complex astrocytic inclusions that contain GFAP, vimentin, plectin, ubiquitin, Hsp27 and alpha B-crystallin. The small heat shock protein alpha B-crystallin (Cryab) regulates GFAP assembly, and elevation of Cryab is a consistent feature of AxD; however, its role in Rosenthal fibers and AxD pathology is not known. Here, we show in AxD mouse models that loss of Cryab results in increased mortality, whereas elevation of Cryab rescues animals from terminal seizures. When mice with Rosenthal fibers induced by over-expression of GFAP are crossed into a Cryab-null background, over half die at 1 month of age. Restoration of Cryab expression through the GFAP promoter reverses this outcome, showing the effect is astrocyte-specific. Conversely, in mice engineered to express both AxD-associated mutations and elevated GFAP, which despite natural induction of Cryab also die at 1 month, transgenic over-expression of Cryab results in a markedly reduced CNS stress response, restores expression of the glutamate transporter Glt1 (EAAT2) and protects these animals from death. In its most common form, AxD is a devastating neurodegenerative disease, with early onset, characterized by seizures, spasticity and developmental delays, ultimately leading to death. Cryab plays a critical role in tempering AxD pathology and should be investigated as a therapeutic target for this and other diseases with astropathology.

A large amount of data from diverse studies proves this perception inaccurate at best, and at worst, an impediment for further efforts to characterize the variation in the human genome. Because variation in genotype and environment are the fundamental basis to understand phenotypic variability and heritability at the population level, identifying the range of human genetic variation is crucial to the development of personalized nutrition and medicine. The Human Variome Project (HVP; http://www.humanvariomeproject.org/) was proposed initially to systematically collect mutations that cause human disease and create a cyber infrastructure to link locus specific databases (LSDB).

TI Transglutaminase-1 Gene Mutations in Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis: Summary of Mutations (Including 23 Novel) and Modeling of TGase-1 SO HUMAN MUTATION LA English DT Review DE autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis; ARCI; TGM1 gene; TGAse-1; molecular modeling; mutation update ID CORNIFIED CELL-ENVELOPE; BATHING-SUIT ICHTHYOSIS; CROSS-LINKED ENVELOPE; HUMAN EPIDERMAL-KERATINOCYTES; HEALING COLLODION BABY; LAMELLAR ICHTHYOSIS; TERMINAL DIFFERENTIATION; HARLEQUIN ICHTHYOSIS; DNA METHYLATION; TRANSPORTER ABCA12 AB Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a heterogeneous group of rare cornification diseases. Germline mutations in TGM1 are the most common cause of ARCI in the United States. TGM1 encodes for the TGase-1 enzyme that functions in the formation of the cornified cell envelope. Structurally defective or attenuated cornified cell envelop have been shown in epidermal scales and appendages of ARCI patients with TGM1 mutations. We review the clinical manifestations as well as the molecular genetics of ARCI In addition, we characterized 115 TGM1 mutations reported in 234 patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds (Caucasion Americans, Norwegians, Swedish, Finnish, German, Swiss, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Hispanics, Iranian, Tunisian, Moroccan, Egyptian, Afghani, Hungarian, African Americans, Korean, Japanese and South African). We report 23 novel mutations: 71 (62%) missense; 20 (17%) nonsense; 9 (8%) deletion; 8 (7%) splice-site,and 7 (6%) insertion. The c.877-2A>G was the most commonly reported TGM1 mutation accounting for 34% (147 of 435) of all TGM1 mutant alleles reported to date. It had been shown that this mutation is common among North American and Norwegian patients due to a founder effect. Thirty-one percent (36 of 115) of all mutations and 41% (29 of 71) of missense mutations occurred in arginine residues in TGase-1. Forty-nine percent (35 of 71) of missense mutations were within CpG dinucleotides, and 74% (26/35) of these mutations were C > Tor G >A transitions. We constructed a model of human TGase-1 and showed that all mutated arginines that reside in the two beta-barrel domains and two (R142 and R143) in the beta,sandwich are located at domain interfaces. In conclusion, this study expands the TGM1 mutation spectrum and summarizes the current knowledge of TGM1 mutations. The high frequency of mutated arginine codons in TGM1 may be due to the deamination of 5' methylated CpG dinucleotides. Hum Mutat 30, 537-547, 2009. Published 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

TI Hypo-Functional SLC26A4 Variants Associated with Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss and Enlargement of the Vestibular Aqueduct: Genotype-Phenotype Correlation or Coincidental Polymorphisms? SO HUMAN MUTATION LA English DT Article DE enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct; EVA; deafness; DFNB4; hearing; genotype-phenotype correlation; PDS; pendrin; SLC26A4 ID TRANSPORTER DTDST GENE; PENDRED-SYNDROME; PDS GENE; CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM; ENDOPLASMIC-RETICULUM; MOLECULAR ANALYSIS; MOUSE MODEL; 2 FAMILIES; MUTATIONS; DEAFNESS AB Hearing, loss with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA) can be associated with mutations of the SLC26A4 gene encoding pendrin, a transmembrane Cl(-)/I(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger. Pendrin's critical transport substrates are thought to be I(-) in the thyroid gland and HCO(3)(-) in the inner ear. We previously reported that bi-allelic SLC26A4 mutations are associated with Pendred syndromic EVA whereas one or zero mutant alleles are associated with nonsyndromic EVA. One study proposed a correlation of nonsyndromic EVA with SLC26A4 alleles encoding pendrin with residual transport activity. Here we describe the phenotypes and SLC26A4 genotypes of 47 EVA patients ascertained since our first report of 39 patients. We sought to determine the pathogenic potential of each variant in our full cohort of 86 patients. We evaluated the trafficking of I I missense pendrin products expressed in COS-7 cells. Products that targeted to the plasma membrane were expressed in Xenopus oocytes for measurement of anion exchange activity. p.F335L, p.C565Y, p.L597S, p.M775T, and p.R776C had Cl(-)/I(-) and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange rate constants that ranged from 13 to 93% of wild type values. p.F335L, p.L597S, p.M775T and p.R776C are typically found as mono-allelic variants in nonsyndromic EVA. The high normal control carrier rate for p.L597S indicates it is a coincidentally detected nonpathogenic variant in this context. We observed moderate differential effects of hypo-functional variants upon exchange of HCO(3)(-) versus I(-) but their magnitude does not support a causal association with nonsyndromic EVA. However, these alleles could be pathogenic in trans configuration with a mutant allele in Pendred syndrome. Hum Mutat 30, 599-608, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley,Liss, Inc.

Recent studies indicate that complete deficiency of the related murine Zic2 transcription factor can also be a contributing factor to variable midline deficiencies, presenting during mid-gastrulation, that could explain similar forebrain anomalies in this model system. Here we collect and summarize all available mutations in the human ZIC2 gene detected in HPE patients (21 published and 62 novel). Our analysis corroborates this mechanism proposed in mice by predicting loss-of-function as the likely pathogenetic mechanism common to most, if not all, of these mutations in HPE.

The mutations lead to replacement of arginine with cysteine (p.Arg49Cys) and aspartic acid with glycine (p.Asp86Gly). Functional analysis of recombinant proteins containing the mutations detected showed that both dramatically reduce AHCY activity. The p.Arg49Cys mutant protein forms intermolecular disulphide bonds, leading to macromolecular structures that can be prevented by reducing agent DTT. The p.Asp86Gly protein tends to form enzymatically inactive aggregates and the loss of a single negative charge as a result of the mutation is involved in enzyme inactivation. We show that replacing Gly86 with negatively charged Glu86 in mutant protein restores enzymatic activity to 70% of wild-type, whereas changing Gly86 to positively charged Lys86 or uncharged Leu86 does not improve enzyme activity, indicating that the negative charge is important for maintenance of such activity. These studies significantly extend knowledge about the importance of residue 86 for AHCY activity. Residue 86 has not been implicated before in this way and the results suggest that the present model of S- adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolysis may need refinement. Our functional studies provide novel insight into the molecular defect underlying AHCY deficiency and reveal that both low enzyme activity and protein stability of AHCY contribute to the clinical phenotype.

Classically, the immunophenotype of Burkitt lymphoma has been considered to be the germinal center type. In most reports, all cases of Burkitt lymphoma are reported to be multiple myeloma 1-negative. multiple myeloma 1 expression is seen in plasma cells and in a small fraction of B cells located in the light zone of germinal centers corresponding to the final step of intra-germinal center B-cell differentiation, and in activated T cells. Therefore, multiple myeloma 1 expression may denote the final step of intra-germinal center B-cell differentiation at the centrocyte stage, as well as the subsequent steps of B-cell maturation toward plasma cells. Unlike most normal germinal center B cells, in which the expression of multiple myeloma 1 and bcl-6 are mutually exclusive, the tumor cells in approximately 50% of multiple myeloma 1-positive DLBCL show coexpression of bcl-6, suggesting that the expression of these proteins may be deregulated. Twenty-five Burkitt lymphoma cases, including 19 associated with HIV, were reported in one of the few studies in the literature; 2 of these cases showed occasional Multiple myeloma 1-positive cells, less than the 20% cutoff for positivity. We studied 222 cases of well-characterized Burkitt lymphoma with the classic phenotype and C-MYC translocation and found 90 cases (40.5%) with multiple myeloma 1 nuclear expression, Suggesting a late germinal center stage of differentiation.

The aim of this study was to determine whether embryos developing from MI oocytes that mature post-retrieval display more chromosomal anomalies than those embryos that are generated from oocytes that are at MII at the time of retrieval. Rhesus macaque oocytes were obtained after hormonal ovarian stimulation. Immediately after retrieval, the oocytes were classified according to their maturational status. Following in vitro fertilization, Day 3 embryos with good morphology and development derived from oocytes maturing post-retrieval and those from oocytes that were mature at the time of retrieval were cytogenetically assessed using a five-color fluorescent in situ fluorescent hybridization assay developed for rhesus macaque chromosomes homologous to human chromosomes 13, 16, 18, X and Y. Blastomeres from 53 embryos were analyzed. Of the 27 embryos that developed from oocytes that were mature at collection, 18 embryos were chromosomally normal (66.7%), while from the 26 embryos that developed from oocytes that matured post-retrieval, only 9 embryos were chromosomally normal (34.6%). These results indicate that embryos developing from oocytes maturing post-retrieval display high rates of chromosomal abnormalities and have therefore a reduced developmental competence. As a result, the clinical relevance of using immature oocytes that are retrieved after stimulated cycles in human IVF warrants further investigation.

TI Antihypertensive Prescriptions for Newly Treated Patients Before and After the Main Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial Results and Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure Guidelines SO HYPERTENSION LA English DT Article DE hypertension; antihypertensive agents; thiazide diuretics; clinical trials; epidemiology ID CONVERTING ENZYME-INHIBITOR; CALCIUM-CHANNEL BLOCKER; ANTI HYPERTENSIVE DRUGS; ALPHA-BLOCKER; UNITED-STATES; END-POINT; ALLHAT; PHYSICIANS; OUTCOMES; HEALTH AB Main results of the Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial were published in December 2002. The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, published in May 2003, recommended thiazide-type diuretics as initial pharmacological treatment alone or in combination with another drug in most patients with hypertension. To assess changes from before to after these publications, we compared antihypertensive medication prescriptions filled by patients who initiated pharmacological antihypertensive treatment in a large managed care organization during 3 time periods: (1) July 1, 2001, to June 30, 2002 (before these publications; n=1354); (2) July 1, 2003, to June 30, 2004 (to assess short-term changes; n=1542); and (3) July 1, 2004, to June 30, 2005 (to assess extended changes; n=1865). The percentage of patients initiating antihypertensive treatment with a thiazide-type diuretic increased from 30.6% to 39.4% (P < 0.001) between 2001-2002 and 2003-2004, and the increase was maintained at 36.5% in 2004-2005 (P < 0.001 compared with 2001-2002 and P=0.33 compared with 2003-2004). Among patients without diabetes mellitus, renal disease, a history of myocardial infarction, or heart failure, the percentage initiating pharmacological antihypertensive treatment with a thiazide-type diuretic increased from 33.1% in 2001-2002 to 43.4% in 2003-2004 (P < 0.001) and remained increased (41.0%) in 2004-2005 (P < 0.001 and P=0.23 compared with 2001-2002 and 2003-2004, respectively). Despite a sustained increase in the use of thiazide-type diuretics, this study indicates that an opportunity exists to increase adherence to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure guidelines.

A combined approach is presented to automatically generate Cartesian/tetrahedral hybrid meshes for open and closed structures. This approach first generates a buffer zone that surrounds a target with specified tightness. The advancing-front technique with "sweep-and-retry" is subsequently applied to generate an initial tetrahedral mesh that fills the buffer zone. Finally, the tetrahedral mesh undergoes a combined quality improvement procedure. Due to the low profile of the resulting tetrahedral mesh, the sparse Cholesky decomposition can be applied effectively to solve the resulting FETD matrix. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the main features and the performance of the proposed automatic mesh-generation method.

TI Oriented Active Shape Models SO IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING LA English DT Article DE Active shape models (ASMs); dynamic programming; image-based segmentation; live wire; model-based segmentation ID POINT DISTRIBUTION MODELS; IMAGE SEGMENTATION; DEFORMABLE CONTOURS; APPEARANCE MODELS; LEFT-VENTRICLE; LIVE WIRE; SNAKES AB Active shape models (ASM) are widely employed for recognizing anatomic structures and for delineating them in medical images. In this paper, a novel strategy called oriented active shape models (OASM) is presented in an attempt to overcome the following five limitations of ASM: 1) lower delineation accuracy, 2) the requirement of a large number of landmarks, 3) sensitivity to search range, 4) sensitivity to initialization, and 5) inability to fully exploit the specific information present in the given image to be segmented. OASM effectively combines the rich statistical shape information embodied in ASM with the boundary orientedness property and the globally optimal delineation capability of the live wire methodology of boundary segmentation. The latter characteristics allow live wire to effectively separate an object boundary from other nonobject boundaries with similar properties especially when they come very close in the image domain. The approach leads to a two-level dynamic programming method, wherein the first level corresponds to boundary recognition and the second level corresponds to boundary delineation, and to an effective automatic initialization method. The method outputs a globally optimal boundary that agrees with the shape model if the recognition step is successful in bringing the model close to the boundary in the image. Extensive evaluation experiments have been conducted by utilizing 40 image (magnetic resonance and computed tomography) data sets in each of five different application areas for segmenting breast, liver, bones of the foot, and cervical vertebrae of the spine. Comparisons are made between OASM and ASM based on precision, accuracy, and efficiency of segmentation. Accuracy is assessed using both region-based false positive and false negative measures and boundary-based distance measures. The results indicate the following: 1) The accuracy of segmentation via OASM is considerably better than that of ASM; 2) The number of landmarks can be reduced by a factor of 3 in OASM over that in ASM; 3) OASM becomes largely independent of search range and initialization becomes automatic. All three benefits of OASM ensue mainly from the severe constraints brought in by the boundary-orientedness property of live wire and the globally optimal solution found by the 2-level dynamic programming algorithm.

TI Arginine-Induced Germ Tube Formation in Candida albicans Is Essential for Escape from Murine Macrophage Line RAW 264.7 SO INFECTION AND IMMUNITY LA English DT Article ID NITRIC-OXIDE PRODUCTION; SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE; TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR; UREA AMIDOLYASE; HELICOBACTER-PYLORI; FILAMENTOUS-GROWTH; GENE; FARNESOL; INFECTION; FUNGI AB The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a part of the normal flora but it also causes systemic candidiasis if it reaches the bloodstream. Upon being phagocytized by macrophages, an important component of innate immunity, C. albicans rapidly upregulates a set of arginine biosynthetic genes. Arginine, urea, and CO(2) induced hyphae in a density-dependent manner in wild-type, cph1/cph1, and rim101/rim101 strains but not in efg1/efg1 or cph1/cph1 efg1/efg1 strains. Arginase (Car1p) converts arginine to urea, which in turn is degraded by urea amidolyase (Dur1,2p) to produce CO(2), a signal for hyphal switching. We used a dur1,2/dur1,2 mutant (KWN6) and the complemented strain, KWN8 (dur1,2/dur1,2::DUR1,2/DUR1,2) to study germ tube formation. KWN6 could not make germ tubes in the presence of arginine or urea but did in the presence of 5% CO(2), which bypasses Dur1,2p. We also tested the effect of arginine on the interaction between the macrophage line RAW 264.7 and several strains of C. albicans. Arginine activated an Efg1p-dependent yeast-to-hypha switch, enabling wild-type C. albicans and KWN8 to escape from macrophages within 6 h, whereas KWN6 was defective in this regard. Additionally, two mutants that cannot synthesize arginine, BWP17 and SN152, were defective in making hyphae inside the macrophages, whereas the corresponding arginine prototrophs, DAY286 and SN87, formed germ tubes and escaped from macrophages. Therefore, metabolism of arginine by C. albicans controls hyphal switching and provides an important mechanism for escaping host defense. C1 [Ghosh, Suman; Navarathna, Dhammika H. M. L.

The B. mallei VirAG two-component regulatory system activates the transcription of similar to 60 genes, including a large virulence gene cluster encoding a type VI secretion system (T6SS). The B. mallei tssM gene encodes a putative ubiquitin-specific protease that is physically linked to, and transcriptionally coregulated with, the T6SS gene cluster. Mass spectrometry and immunoblot analysis demonstrated that TssM was secreted in a virAG-dependent manner in vitro. Surprisingly, the T6SS was found to be dispensable for the secretion of TssM. The C-terminal half of TssM, which contains Cys and His box motifs conserved in eukaryotic deubiquitinases, was purified and biochemically characterized. Recombinant TssM hydrolyzed multiple ubiquitinated substrates and the cysteine at position 102 was critical for enzymatic activity. The tssM gene was expressed within 1 h after uptake of B. mallei into RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, suggesting that the TssM deubiquitinase is produced in this intracellular niche. Although the physiological substrate(s) is currently unknown, the TssM deubiquitinase may provide B. mallei a selective advantage in the intracellular environment during infection.

The molecular mechanisms by which loss of function leads to tumorigenesis are not yet fully defined. The von Hippel-Lindau gene product is part of an ubiquitin ligase complex that targets hypoxia inducible factors for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, linking hypoxia response genes to renal cell carcinoma oncogenesis. Loss von Hippel-Lindau gene function also promotes cell invasiveness in response to hepatocyte growth factor, an important regulator of kidney development and renal homeostasis. Increased cell invasiveness is mediated by another ubiquitin ligase target with relevance to the molecular pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma: P-catenin. This discovery and other recent insights into kidney cancer oncogenesis implicate convergent developmental and homeostatic signaling pathways in tumorigenesis, tumor invasiveness and metastasis.

Over the last 3 decades, many studies have addressed specific hypotheses about these associations using population level data. This has been accomplished by assessing previous autoimmune history in case-control studies of patients with lymphoma (mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and myeloma, and by following cohorts of patients with various autoimmune diseases for subsequent development of lymphoma and multiple myeloma. In this article, we review our recently published series of association studies based on data from Scandinavia and from US Veterans and other relevant findings. We also discuss what these associations have revealed about the mechanisms and pathways underlying both autoimmunity and lymphoma. Finally, we discuss the future directions involving a combination of population and molecular studies that are needed to better define underlying biological mechanisms.

We used gene expression profiling of 48 breast cancer specimens that profoundly differed in their degree of genomic instability and identified a set of 12 genes that defines the 2 groups. The biological and prognostic significance of this gene set was established through survival prediction in published datasets from patients with breast cancer. Of note, the gene expression signatures that define specific prognostic subtypes in other breast cancer datasets, such as luminal A and B, basal normal-like and ERBB2+, and prognostic signatures including MammaPrint (R) and Oncotype DX, predicted genomic instability in our samples. This remarkable congruence suggests a biological interdependence of poor-prognosis gene signatures, breast cancer subtypes, genomic instability, and clinical outcome. (C) 2008 Wiley-Liss. Inc.

Studies have reported familial aggregation of NPC and have suggested the possible aggregation of NPC and other cancers. We evaluated familial aggregation of cancer in 358 high-risk families with two or more NPC cases enrolled in a NPC genetics study in Taiwan. Participants were linked to the Taiwan National Cancer Registry to identify incident cancers diagnosed after study enrollment (started in 1996) and before December 31, 2005, or death. In total, 2,870 individuals from the NPC Multiplex Family Study contributed 15,151 person-years over an average of 5.3 years of follow-up. One hundred ten incident cancers were identified. Multiple-primary standardized incidence ratios (MP-SIRs) were computed to evaluate overall cancer risk associated with infectious agents and with other tumors. The overall MP-SIR was 1.3 (95% CI: 1.1-1.6), which was largely explained by an excess in NPC (MP-SIR = 15; 95% CI: 10-23). Exclusion of incident NPC diagnoses led to an overall MP-SIR of 1.0 (95% CI: 0.83-1.3). Similarly, the observed excess risk of cancers associated with infectious agents (MP-SIR = 2.0; 95% CI: 1.5-2.6) was driven by the excess in NPC; exclusion of NPC cases led to a reduced MP-SIR that did not differ from 1.0. Analysis of the largest NPC multiplex family study to date confirms the presence of coaggregation of NPC within families in Taiwan but does not provide evidence for a broader familial syndrome involving NPC and other tumors.

To test this hypothesis, we genotyped 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) located at -3092 (AT, rs3741378), and exon 14 + 14 (C>T, rs746429), and examined them in relation to breast cancer risk and overall survival, stratified by tumor characteristics in 2 independent case-control studies conducted in Poland (1,995 cases, 2,296 controls) and in Britain (2,142 cases, 2,257 controls). Vital status (it = 396 deaths) was available for 911 Polish and 1,919 British breast cancer cases with an average follow-up time of 5.5 years. Overall, we found no significant associations between genetic variants of SIPA1 SNPs and breast cancer risk (per allele odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals (Cl): rs931127-0.99, 0.93-1.06; rs3741378-1.03, 0.94-1.13; and, rs74642-0.98, 0.92-1.04). In both studies, SIPA1 polymorphisms were not related to overall mortality (per allele hazard ratios, 95% CI: 1.02, 0.88-1.17; 0.90, 0.72-1.11; 1.04, 0.94-4.21, respectively). Our results do not support a relationship between SIPA1 polymorphisms and breast cancer risk or subsequent survival. Published 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Methods We interviewed 225 cases (aged 2075 years) notified to the New Zealand Cancer Registry during 200304, and 471 controls randomly selected from the Electoral Roll collecting demographic details, information on potential confounders and a comprehensive employment history. Associations between occupation and leukaemia were analysed using logistic regression adjusted for gender, age, ethnicity and smoking. Results Elevated odds ratios (ORs) were observed in agricultural sectors including horticulture/fruit growing (OR: 2.62, 95 confidence interval (CI): 1.51, 4.55), plant nurseries (OR: 7.51, 95 CI: 1.85, 30.38) and vegetable growing (OR: 3.14, 95 CI: 1.18, 8.40); and appeared greater in women (ORs: 4.71, 7.75 and 7.98, respectively). Elevated ORs were also observed in market farmers/crop growers (OR: 1.84, 95 CI: 1.12, 3.02), field crop/vegetable growers (OR: 3.98, 95 CI: 1.46, 10.85), market gardeners (OR: 5.50, 95 CI: 1.59, 19.02), and nursery growers/workers (OR: 4.23, 95 CI: 1.34, 13.35); also greater in women (ORs: 3.48, 7.62, 15.74 and 11.70, respectively). These elevated ORs were predominantly for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Several associations persisted after semi-Bayes adjustment. Elevated ORs were observed in rubber/plastics products machine operators (OR: 3.76, 95 CI: 1.08, 13.08), predominantly in plastic product manufacturing. CLL was also elevated in tailors and dressmakers (OR: 7.01, 95 CI: 1.78, 27.68), cleaners (OR: 2.04, 95 CI: 1.00, 4.14) and builders labourers (OR: 4.03, 95 CI: 1.30, 12.53). Conclusions These findings suggest increased leukaemia risks associated with certain agricultural, manufacturing, construction and service occupations in New Zealand.

Methods: A survey was developed and distributed to the members of the GCIG. The GCIG is a global association of cooperative groups involved in the research and treatment of gynecologic neoplasms. Results: Thirty-four surveys were returned from 13 different cooperative groups. For the treatment of endometrial cancer after hysterectomy, mean (SD) pelvic dose was 47.37 (2.32) Gy. The upper border of the pelvic field was L4/5 in 14 respondents, L5/S1 in 13 respondents, and not specified in 6 surveys. When vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) was used in conjunction with external beam radiotherapy, most groups used high dose rate versus low dose rate on 24 versus 5 respondents, respectively. Twenty-eight of the 34 respondents performed computed tomographic simulation. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy was used routinely in 3 of the 34 respondents. For a para-aortic field, the upper border was, most commonly, at the T12-L1 interspace (17 of the 28 respondents), and the mean (SD) dose was 46.15 (2.18) Gy. For VBT alone after hysterectomy, 23 groups performed high-dose-rate brachytherapy (27.57 [10.13] Gy in a mean of 4.3 insertions), and 5 groups used low-dose-rate brachytherapy (41.45 [17.5] Gy). Nineteen of the 28 respondents measured the doses to the bladder and the rectum when performing VBT. For brachytherapy, there was no uniformity in the fraction of the vagina treated or the doses and schedules used. Conclusions: Radiotherapy practices among member groups of the GCIG are similar in doses and dose per fraction with external beam. There is a moderate discrepancy in the brachytherapy practice after hysterectomy. There are no serious impediments to intergroup participation in radiation oncology practices among GCIG members with the use of external beam.

I suggest that coenzyme-like molecules (CLMs) performed hereditary functions before the emergence of nucleic acids. Autocatalytic CLMs modified (encoded) surface properties of hydrocarbon microspheres, to which they were anchored, and these changes enhanced autocatalysis and propagation of CLMs. Heredity started from a single kind of self-reproducing CLM, and then evolved into more complex coenzyme autocatalytic networks containing multiple kinds of CLMs. Polymerization of CLMs on the surface of microspheres and development of template-based synthesis is a potential evolutionary path towards the emergence of nucleic acids.

Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TGIF, lumican, TGFB1, and HGF genes have been declared to be associated with high myopia in Chinese living in southeast China, but none of them has been confirmed by additional studies. This study was conducted to verify the reported positive association results by analysis of subjects from the same region. METHODS. DNA was prepared from venous leukocytes of 288 patients with high myopia and 208 control subjects. The four SNPs (rs2229336, rs3759223, rs1982073, and rs3735520) in the four genes were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. The allele and genotype frequencies of these SNPs from patients and control subjects were compared by chi(2) test. RESULTS. Polymorphism at rs2229336 was not detected in all 496 subjects. There were no statistically significant differences between patients and control subjects for the other three SNPs: rs3759223, rs1982073, and rs3735520. CONCLUSIONS. The study does not support the association of high myopia with alleles of rs2229336 in TGIF, rs3759223 in lumican, rs1982073 in TGFB1, and rs3735520 in HGF. These results provide a view contrary to those in previous reports. Reasonable criteria as well as replication should be the first priority for genetic association studies to avoid excessive expansion of false-positive results, especially for high myopia.

TI Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-B, DRB1, and DQB1 Allotypes Associated with Disease and Protection of Trachoma Endemic Villagers SO INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY & VISUAL SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID OUTER-MEMBRANE PROTEIN; CD8(+) T-CELLS; HLA CLASS-I; CHLAMYDIA-TRACHOMATIS; ACTIVE TRACHOMA; RISK-FACTORS; INFECTION; WOMEN; CHILDREN; TANZANIA AB PURPOSE. Trachoma remains the leading preventable infectious cause of blindness in developing countries. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations with ocular disease severity and persistent Chlamydia trachomatis infection of Tanzanians living in trachoma-endemic villages were examined to determine possible protective candidate allotypes for vaccine development. METHODS. Buccal swab scrapes were taken from subjects in the Trichiasis Study Group (TSG), which studied females only, and the Family Trachoma Study (FTS), which compared persistently infected probands who had severe disease with disease-free siblings and parents. DNA was purified for polymerase chain reaction sequence-specific oligonucleotide identification of HLA-DRB1, DQB1, and B allotypes. Infection was detected from conjunctival scrapes using a C. trachomatis-specific PCR-enzyme immunoassay for the MOMP-1 gene. RESULTS. In the TSG, DR*B11 (odds ratio [OR], 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.26-0.90; P = 0.02) was significantly associated with lack of trichiasis, whereas HLA-B*07 (OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.42-7.49; P = 0.004) and HLA-B*08 (OR, 5.12; 95% CI, 1.74-15.05; P = 0.001) were associated with trichiasis. In addition, HLA-B*14 was significantly associated with inflammatory trachoma + follicular trachoma (OR, 3.76; 95% CI, 1.70-8.33; P = 0.04). There were no significant allele frequencies for the FTS. CONCLUSIONS. The data suggest that HLA-DRB*11 may offer protection from trichiasis in trachoma hyperendemic villages. Complete allotype identification and designation of its respective protective CD4(+) T-cell antigens could provide a testable candidate vaccine for blindness prevention. Additionally, buccal swab DNA was sufficiently stable when acquired under harsh field conditions and stored long term in the freezer for low-resolution HLA typing.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained by large volume blood drawn (500 mL) from 8 clinically successfully treated patients who had received uninterrupted HAART for up to 8.9 years. HIV-1 load was determined by Taqman real-time polymerase chain reaction. Drug resistance mutations were determined by sequencing and ultrasensitive, allele-specific, reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction. Results: HIV-1 DNA load was significantly higher in aged memory (CD45RO(+) CD57(+)) when compared with memory (CD45RO(+) CD57(-)) and naive (CD27(+) CD45RO(-)) CD4(+) T cells after HAART. Sequencing revealed no major drug resistance Mutations in protease in all patients and appearance of resistance Mutations in RT in just 1 patient. In 1 of 5 patients with undetectable viremia during treatment, RT M184 substitutions were detected. Phylogenetic analysis showed short genetic distances between patient sequences. Conclusions: During long-term HAART, HIV-1 is able to persist in terminally differentiated CD4(+) T cells as proviral DNA. Viral evolution was restricted, and in 80% of the patients with undetectable viremia, no sign of viral replication could be detected. C1 [Nottet, Hans S. L.

We hypothesize that functional sequence variation in the melanopsin gene could contribute to increasing the light needed for normal functioning during winter in SAD. Methods: Associations between alleles, genotypes, and haplotypes of melanopsin in SAD participants (n=130) were performed relative to controls with no history of psychopathology (n=90). Results: SAD participants had a higher frequency of the homozygous minor genotype T/T) for the missense variant rs2675703 (P10L) than controls, compared to the combined frequencies of C/C and C/T Individuals with the T/T genotype were 5.6 times more likely to he in the SAD group than the control group, and all 7 (5%) of individuals with the T/T genotype at P10L were in the SAD group. Limitations: The study examined only one molecular component of the non-visual light input pathway, and recruitment methods for the comparison groups differed. Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that melanopsin variants may predispose some individuals to SAD. Characterizing the genetic basis for deficits ill the non-visual light input pathway has the potential to define mechanisms underlying the pathological response to light in SAD, which may improve treatment.

The diagnosis and treatment of cockroach allergy has been impeded by the lack of standardized cockroach extracts. Objective: We investigated the utility of a mediator release assay based on rat basophil leukemia (RBL) cells for comparing the potency of German cockroach extracts. Methods: RBL cells (line 2H3) transfected with human Fc epsilon RI were passively sensitized with sera from subjects with cockroach allergy and stimulated with serial dilutions of 3 commercial cockroach extracts (1:10 weight/volume). In addition, the in-house prepared extract was tested in separate experiments with pooled sera that produced optimal performance in the RBL assay. N-hexosaminidase release (NHR) was used as a marker of RBL cell degranulation and was examined in relation to the intradermal skin test (ID(50)EAL) and serum cockroach-specific and total IgE levels. Results: The median cockroach-specific IgE concentration in 60 subjects was 0.72 kU(A)/L (interquartile range, 0.35-2.97 kU(A)/L); 19 sera (responders) produced a minimum 10% NHR to more than 1 extract. Responders had higher median cockroach-specific IgE (7.4 vs 1.0 kU(A)/L) and total IgE (429 vs 300 kU/L) levels than nonresponders. Ranking of extract potency was consistent between the mediator release assay and the ID50EAL. For the in-house prepared cockroach extract, the dose-response curves were shifted according to the concentration of the extract. NHR was reproducible between different experiments by using pooled sera. Conclusion: The mediator release assay measures biologic potency and correlates with the ID50EAL. It should be further evaluated to determine whether it could be used to replace intradermal skin test titration for assessing the potency of cockroach extract.

In mammals, transduction of the photic signal reaching the circadian oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) occurs through the release of glutamate and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP). The authors' study aimed at clarifying the role played by PACAP in photic resetting and entrainment. They investigated the circadian response to light of PACAP-null mice lacking the 5th exon of the PACAP coding sequence. Specifically, they examined free-running rhythms, entrainment to 12-h light:12-h dark (LD) cycles, the phase-response curve (PRC) to single light pulses, entrainment to a 23-h T-cycle, re-entrainment to 6-h phase shifts in LD cycles, and light-induced c-Fos expression. PACAP-null and wild-type mice show similar free-running periods and similar entrainment to 12:12 LD cycles. However, the PRC of PACAP-null mice lacks a phase-advance portion. Surprisingly, despite the absence of phase advance to single light pulses, PACAP-null mice are able to entrain to a 23-h T-cycle, but with a significantly longer phase angle of entrainment than wild types. In addition, PACAP-null mice re-entrain more slowly to a 6-h phase advance of the LD cycle. Nevertheless, induction of c-Fos by light in late night is normal. In all experiments, PACAP-null mice show specific behavioral impairments in response to phase-advancing photic stimuli. These results suggest that PACAP is required for the normal integration of the phase-advancing light signal by the SCN.

One approach has been to inhibit specific DNA repair proteins and their respective pathways to enhance chemotherapy and radiation therapy used to treat cancer patients. Synthetic lethality represents an approach that exploits pre-existing DNA repair deficiencies in certain tumors to develop inhibitors of DNA repair pathways that compensate for the tumor-associated repair deficiency. Since helicases play critical roles in the DNA damage response and DNA repair, particularly in actively dividing and replicating cells, it is proposed that the identification and characterization of synthetic lethal relationships of DNA helicases will be of value in developing improved anti-cancer treatment strategies. In this review, we discuss this hypothesis and current evidence for synthetic lethal interactions of eukaryotic DNA helicases in model systems. J. Cell. Biochem. 106: 758-763, 2009.

However, the rate of exchange between mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate/oxaloacetate and cytosolic glutamate/aspartate (V-x) extracted from metabolic modeling has been controversial. Because brain fumarase is exclusively located in the mitochondria, and mitochondrial fumarate is connected to cytosolic aspartate through a chain of fast exchange reactions, it is possible to directly measure V-x from the four-carbon side of the tricarboxylic acid cycle by magnetization transfer. In isoflurane-anesthetized adult rat brain, a relayed C-13 magnetization transfer effect on cytosolic aspartate C2 at 53.2 ppm was detected after extensive signal averaging with fumarate C2 at 136.1 ppm irradiated using selective radiofrequency pulses. Quantitative analysis using Bloch-McConnell equations and a four-site exchange model found that V-x approximate to 13-19 mu mol per g per min (>> V-TCA, the tricarboxylic acid cycle rate) when the longitudinal relaxation time of malate C2 was assumed to be within +/- 33% of that of aspartate C2. If V-x approximate to V-TCA, the isotopic exchange between mitochondria and cytosol would be too slow on the time scale of C-13 longitudinal relaxation to cause a detectable magnetization transfer effect.

RNases B and A were well resolved from each other with an aqueous-aqueous polymer phase system composed of 12.5%(w/w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000 and 12.5%(w/w)dibasic potassium phosphate (pH 9.2) as the mobile lower phase. The commercial RNase A samples obtained from three different companies were also highly purified using the 16.0% (w/w) PEG 1000-6.3% (w/w) dibasic potassium phosphate-6.3% (w/w) monobasic potassium phosphate system (pH 6.6) using the upper phase as the mobile phase. Recombinant RNase Po-1, an RNase T-1 family enzyme, was further successfully separated from the crude extract using the same solvent system with the lower phase used as the mobile phase. The RNase activities were well preserved during the CCC separation. The overall results demonstrate that the small-scale X-axis CPC is useful for a simple and rapid purification of various RNases in a preparative-scale. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The accuracy of this technique for localizing insulinomas was reported for all cases until 1996. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy and track record of the CaStim over time and in the context of evolving technology and to review issues related to result interpretation and procedure complications. CaStim was the only invasive preoperative localization modality used at our center. Endoscopic ultrasound (US) was not studied. Design and Setting: We conducted a retrospective case review at a referral center. Patients: Twenty-nine women and 16 men (mean age, 47 yr; range, 13-78) were diagnosed with an insulinoma from 1996-2008. Intervention: A supervised fast was conducted to confirm the diagnosis of insulinoma. US, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CaStim were used as preoperative localization studies. Localization predicted by each preoperative test was compared to surgical localization for accuracy. Main Outcome: We measured the accuracy of US, CT, MRI, and CaStim for localization of insulinomas preoperatively. Results: All 45 patients had surgically proven insulinomas. Thirty-eight of 45 (84%) localized to the correct anatomical region by CaStim. In five of 45 (11%) patients, the CaStim was falsely negative. Two of 45 (4%) had false-positive localizations. Conclusion: The CaStim has remained vastly superior to abdominal US, CT, or MRI over time as a preoperative localizing tool for insulinomas. The utility of the CaStim for this purpose and in this setting is thus validated.

Background: HCV-796 is a hepatitis C polymerase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for a phase 2 study of the treatment of hepatitis C in combination with PEG-Interferon and ribavirin. Results: The injury Occurred after more than 12 weeks of treatment, with a > 20-fold increase in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and a marked increase in total (and direct) bilirubin in the absence of cholestasis. There was no evidence of autoimmune or viral hepatitis. Involvement of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway was demonstrated by (1) release of cytochrome C into the cytosol; (2) association of cytochrome C with apoptotic protease activating factor-1 in the cytosol (3) activation of initiator caspase 9; (4) activation of effector caspase 3; (5) increased serum caspase-3 cleaved cytokeratin-18 peptide; (6) nuclear fragmentation;, (7) mitochondrial structural abnormalities; (8) expression of light chain 3 B. an indicator of autophagy; (9) probable autophagy of mitochondria by autophagosomes; and (10) probable phagocytosis of apoptotic hepatocytes by activated macrophages. Immunoglobulin G immune complexes were identified in the hepatocytes and localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi of these patients after the drug-induced liver disease, reflecting a primary or secondary target. Hepatitis C treatment was discontinued at weeks 15 and 19 in patients I and 2, respectively. After more than 6 months off the medication, both patients normalized the serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase. and total bilirubin with undetectable HCV RNA. Conclusions: HCV-796 may cause severe hepatocellular injury and apoptosis, with a marked immune reaction in susceptible patients.

Research is transforming our understanding of these disorders, as exemplified in the articles in this Review Series. Important, "disruptive" insights into pathophysiology are emerging from studies addressing these illnesses as brain disorders, developmental disorders, and complex genetic disorders - rather than only as psychological conflicts or chemical imbalances, as they were considered in the past. Current medications are not sufficient for most patients. A new and deep understanding of the pathophysiology of these disabling disorders is our best hope for a new generation of treatments that will help patients to recover.

It is characterized by recurrent obsessions and compulsions that create distress and interfere with daily life. The symptoms reported by children are similar to those seen among individuals who develop OCD in adulthood, and the two groups of patients are treated with similar symptom-relieving behavior therapies and medications. However, there are differences in sex ratios, patterns of comorbidity, and the results of neuroimaging studies that might be important. Here we review the diagnosis and treatment of childhood-onset OCD in light of pediatric and adult studies. We also discuss current knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disorder. Despite advances in this area, further research is needed to understand better the etiopathogenesis of the disorder and to develop new, more effective therapeutic options.

TI Wnt inhibitory factor 1 is epigenetically silenced in human osteosarcoma, and targeted disruption accelerates osteosarcomagenesis in mice SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION LA English DT Article ID TERMINAL OSTEOBLAST DIFFERENTIATION; RECEPTOR-RELATED PROTEIN-5; DE-NOVO METHYLATION; FACTOR-I; PARATHYROID-HORMONE; BETA-CATENIN; SIGNALING PATHWAY; BONE-FORMATION; GENE-EXPRESSION; CPG METHYLATION AB Wnt signaling increases bone mass by stimulating osteoblast lineage commitment and expansion and forms the basis for novel anabolic therapeutic strategies being developed for osteoporosis. These strategies include derepression of Wnt signaling by targeting secreted Wnt pathway antagonists, such as sclerostin. However, such therapies are associated with safety concerns regarding an increased risk of osteosarcoma, the most common primary malignancy of bone. Here, we analyzed 5 human osteosarcoma cell lines in a high-throughput screen for epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor genes and identified Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1), which encodes an endogenous secreted Wnt pathway antagonist, as a candidate tumor suppressor gene. In vitro, WIF1 suppressed P-catenin levels in human osteosarcoma cell lines, induced differentiation of human and mouse primary osteoblasts, and suppressed the growth of mouse and human osteosarcoma. cell Lines. Wif1 was highly expressed in the developing and mature mouse skeleton, and, although it was dispensable for normal development, targeted deletion of mouse Wif1 accelerated development of radiation-induced osteosarcomas in vivo. In primary human osteosarcomas, silencing of WIF1 by promoter hypermethylation was associated with loss of differentiation, increased P-catenin levels, and increased proliferation. These data lead us to suggest that derepression of Writ signaling by targeting secreted Wnt antagonists in osteoblasts may increase susceptibility to osteosarcoma.

TI Upregulation of SOX9 inhibits the growth of human and mouse melanomas and restores their sensitivity to retinoic acid SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION LA English DT Article ID HYDANTOIN PROSTAGLANDIN ANALOG; TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR SOX9; AUTOSOMAL SEX REVERSAL; CELL-CYCLE; CAMPOMELIC DYSPLASIA; EXPRESSION; GENE; ANTIGEN; LINES; DIFFERENTIATION AB Treatments for primary and metastatic melanomas are rarely effective. Even therapeutics such as retinoic acid (RA) that are successfully used to treat several other forms of cancer are ineffective. Recent evidence indicates that the antiproliferative effects of RA are mediated by the transcription factor SOX9 in human cancer cell lines. As we have previously shown that SOX9 is expressed in normal melanocytes, here we investigated SOX9 expression and function in human melanomas. Although SOX9 was expressed in normal human skin, it was increasingly downregulated as melanocytes progressed to the premalignant and then the malignant and metastatic states. Overexpression of SOX9 in both human and mouse melanoma cell lines induced cell cycle arrest by increasing p21 transcription and restored sensitivity to RA by downregulating expression of PRAME, a melanoma antigen. Furthermore, SOX9 overexpression in melanoma cell lines inhibited tumorigenicity both in mice and in a human ex vivo model of melanoma. Treatment of melanoma cell lines with PGD2 increased SOX9 expression and restored sensitivity to RA. Thus, combined treatment with PGD2 and RA substantially decreased tumor growth in human ex vivo and mouse in vivo.models of melanoma. The results of our experiments targeting SOX9 provide insight into the pathophysiology of melanoma. Further, the effects of SOX9 on melanoma cell proliferation and RA sensitivity suggest the encouraging possibility of a noncytotoxic approach to the treatment of melanoma.

TI Phase II Trial of Sorafenib in Metastatic Thyroid Cancer SO JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 42nd Annual Meeting of the American-Society-of-Clinical-Oncology CY JUN 02-06, 2006 CL Atlanta, GA SP Amer Soc Clin Oncol ID ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH-FACTOR; BRAF MUTATIONS; PAPILLARY CARCINOMAS; SOLID TUMORS; RET/PTC; VEGF; ANGIOGENESIS; EXPRESSION; INHIBITORS; THERAPY AB Purpose Based on the pivotal role of Ras-Raf-MAP-ERK signaling and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), we conducted a phase II clinical trial of sorafenib targeting RAF and VEGF receptor kinases in PTC. Patients and Methods The primary end point was the objective response rate. Secondary end points included response correlation with serum thyroglobulin (Tg); functional imaging; tumor genotype; and signaling inhibition in tumor biopsies. Using a Simon minimax two-stage design, 16 or 25 chemotherapynaive metastatic PTC patients were to be enrolled in arm A (accessible tumor for biopsy). Arm B patients had other subtypes of thyroid carcinoma or prior chemotherapy, and did not require tumor biopsies. Patients received 400 mg orally twice per day of sorafenib. Response was assessed every 2 months using RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). Results Of 41 PTC patients, six patients had a partial response (PR; 15%; 95% CI, 6 to 29) and 23 patients (56%; 95% CI, 40 to 72) had stable disease longer than 6 months. Median duration of PR was 7.5 months (range, 6 to 14). Median progression-free survival was 15 months (95% CI, 10 to 27.5). In 14 (78%) of 18 Tg-assessable PTC patients, Tg declined more than 25%. Common grade 3 adverse events included hand-foot skin reaction, musculoskeletal pain, and fatigue. BRAF mutation was detected in 17 (77%) of 22 PTCs analyzed. Four of 10 paired tumor biopsies from PTC patients showed a reduction in levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor phosphorylation, ERK phosphorylation, and in VEGF expression during sorafenib therapy. No PRs were noted among non-PTC patients. Conclusion Sorafenib is reasonably well-tolerated therapy with clinical and biologic antitumor activity in metastatic PTC.

In particular, when extremely positive results are seen and a boundary is crossed, the data monitoring committee may recommend releasing the results earlier to the public than at the definitive final analysis time specified in the protocol. For trials that are still accruing, this also means stopping accrual. Because the information about treatment efficacy is more limited in an early analysis than in a final analysis, questions have been raised about the appropriateness of incorporating early stopping for positive results in trial designs. In particular, there are concerns that treatment effects seen early may not be real or may be overly optimistic. To examine this issue, we collected information about treatment efficacy on National Cancer Institute Cooperative Group trials that were stopped early for positive results (information both at the time the trial was stopped/released and at times of further follow-up). Twenty-seven such trials were located. For 17 of 18 of these trials with sufficient follow-up information, the treatment effect was similar or only slightly smaller at last follow-up compared with the stopping/release time. We critically evaluate reasons why one might be concerned about early stopping for positive results. We conclude that for trials with well-designed interim monitoring plans, the ability to stop early for positive results is an important component of the trial design, allowing the public to benefit as soon as possible from the study conclusions.

Method: We diagnosed 517 patients hospitalized in a first psychotic illness by SCID-based criteria at baseline and at 24 months to assess stability of specific DSM-IV diagnoses. Results: Among 500 patients (96.7%) completing the study, diagnoses remained stable in 77.6%, ranking as follows: bipolar I disorder (96.5%) > schizophrenia (75.0%) > delusional disorder (72.7%) > major depressive disorder (MDD), severe, with psychotic features (70.1%) > brief psychotic disorder (61.1%) > psychotic disorder not otherwise specified (NOS) (51.5%) >> schizophreniform disorder (10.5%). Most changed diagnoses (22.4% of patients) were to schizoaffective disorder (53.6% of changes in 12.0% of subjects, from psychotic disorder NOS > schizophrenia > schizophreniform disorder = bipolar I disorder most recent episode mixed, severe, with psychotic features > MDD, severe, with psychotic features > delusional disorder > brief psychotic disorder > bipolar I disorder most recent episode manic, severe, with psychotic features). Second most changed diagnoses were to bipolar I disorder (25.9% of changes, 5.8% of subjects, from MDD, severe, with psychotic features > psychotic disorder NOS > brief psychotic disorder > schizophreniform disorder). Third most changed diagnoses were to schizophrenia (12.5% of changes, 2.8% of subjects, from schizophreniform disorder > psychotic disorder NOS > brief psychotic disorder = delusional disorder = MDD, severe, with psychotic features). These 3 categories accounted for 92.0% of changes. By logistic regression, diagnostic change was associated with nonaffective psychosis > auditory hallucinations > youth > male sex > gradual onset. Conclusions: Bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia were more stable diagnoses than delusional disorder or MDD, severe, with psychotic features, and much more than brief psychotic disorder, psychotic-disorder NOS, or schizophreniform disorder. Diagnostic changes mainly involved emergence of affective symptoms and were predicted by several premorbid factors. The findings have implications for revisions of DSM and ICD.

We present a case report of an immunocompromised patient Suffering from pneumonia, for which the causative agent was not identified by routine methods. Objectives: To identify the potential cause of the pneumonia using a degenerate oligonucleotide primer (DOP)-PCR assay that is designed to detect all viruses. Study design: DOP-PCR was applied to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from this patient. Generic PCR products were cloned and sequenced. Results: The novel universal virus assay detected human metapneumovirus in the clinical sample. The finding was confirmed by two independent metapneumovirus specific PCRs targeting different regions of the vital genome. Conclusions: The DOP-PCR Was used to detect and identify the sequence of an unidentified virus. This Study provides proof of concept for the use of clinically relevant specimens in this unbiased universal assay, which requires no previous viral sequence information. Published by Elsevier B.V.

However, little is known about the neural systems that process nonverbal cues that indicate status. Preliminary neuropsychological work has suggested a role for the ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VLPFC/VMPFC) and the superior temporal cortex (STC). We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to delineate the nature of these roles. Analyses revealed signal changes in the right VLPFC in connection with two primary functions attributed to status cues. Status cues moderate behavior and the right VLPFC showed increased signal for high-status relative to neutral and low-status cues. The VLPFC also showed increased signal for high-status cues displayed by individuals of the opposite gender to the perceiver; this may be relevant to the role status cues play in moderating mate choice behavior. Connectivity results indicated significant positive connectivity between the VLPFC and both the VMPFC and the STC. We suggest that the VLPFC retrieves information from these regions when processing hierarchy cues to facilitate socially adaptive behavior.

In contrast to previous works, our formulation allows asymmetric distances (quasi-metrics), originating from uneven weighting of strings, which may induce non-trivial partial orders on sets of biosequences. The distances considered are more general than traditional generalized string edit distances. In particular, our framework enables non-trivial conversion between sequence similarities, both local and global, and distances. Our constructions apply to a wide class of scoring schemes and require much less restrictive gap penalties than the ones regularly used. Numerous examples are provided to illustrate the concepts introduced and their potential applications.

Histologically, it featured a multifocal pattern. It recurred eight times in a period of 20 years. Tissue samples of the tumor were evaluated with monoclonal antibody Ber-EP4 and were compared with examples of oral mucosa, skin, oral and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, peripheral ameloblastoma, ameloblastoma and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Only neoplastic basal cells showed positive immunohistochemical staining. Additionally, microdissected neoplastic areas were evaluated for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the PTCH gene with markers D9S303, D9S252 and D9S287. PTCH gene mutations are reported in patients with Gorlin syndrome and sporadic cutaneous BCCs. Loss of one allele was observed with all three markers. Examples of conventional ameloblastomas did not show evidence of LOH. These observations support the inclusion of BCC in the differential diagnosis of appropriate oral mucosal neoplasms.

To identify their synergistic roles in enamel development, we generated Amel X(-/-)/Ambn(-/-) mice. These mice showed additional enamel defects in comparison with Amel X(-/-) or Ambn(-/-) mice. In 7-day-old Amel X(-/-)/Ambn(-/-) mice, not only was the ameloblast layer irregular and detached from the enamel surface, as in Ambn(-/-), but also, the enamel width was significantly reduced in the double-null mice as compared with Amel X(-/-) or Ambn(-/-) mice. Proteomic analysis of the double-null teeth revealed increased levels of RhoGDI (Arhgdia), a Rho-family-specific guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor, which is involved in important cellular processes, such as cell attachment. Both Amel X(-/-)/Ambn(-/-) mice and Ambn(-/-) mice displayed positive staining with RhoGDI antibody in the irregularly shaped ameloblasts detached from the matrix. Ameloblastin-regulated expression of RhoGDI suggests that Rho-mediated signaling pathway might play a role in enamel formation. C1 [Hatakeyama, J.; Haruyama, N.; Suzuki, S.; Kulkarni, A.

TI Phenotypic Variation in FAM83H-associated Amelogenesis Imperfecta SO JOURNAL OF DENTAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE enamel; FAM83H; amelogenesis imperfecta; hypocalcified; phenotype; craniofacial ID MANDIBULAR PROGNATHISM; MUTATION; ENAMEL AB FAM83H gene mutations are associated with autosomal-dominant hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta (ADHCAI), which is typically characterized by enamel having normal thickness and a markedly decreased mineral content. This study tested the hypothesis that there are phenotype and genotype associations in families with FAM83H-associated ADHCAI. Seven families segregating ADHCAI (147 individuals) were evaluated. Phenotyping included clinical, radiographic, histological, and biochemical studies, and genotyping was by mutational analysis. Multiple novel FAM83H mutations were identified, including two 2-bp-deletion mutations, the first non-nonsense mutations identified. Craniofacial deviation from normal was more prevalent in the affected individuals. Affected individuals having truncating FAMH3H mutations of 677 or fewer amino acids presented a generalized ADHCAI phenotype, while those having mutations capable of producing a protein of at least 694 amino acids had a unique and previously unreported phenotype affecting primarily the cervical enamel. This investigation shows that unique phenotypes are associated with specific FAM83H mutations. C1 [Wright, J. T.; Simmons, D.] Univ N Carolina, Sch Dent, Dept Pediat Dent, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 USA.

CBIR has a potential for making a strong impact in diagnostics, research, and education. Research as reported in the scientific literature, however, has not made significant inroads as medical CBIR applications incorporated into routine clinical medicine or medical research. The cause is often attributed (without supporting analysis) to the inability of these applications in overcoming the "semantic gap." The semantic gap divides the high-level scene understanding and interpretation available with human cognitive capabilities from the low-level pixel analysis of computers, based on mathematical processing and artificial intelligence methods. In this paper, we suggest a more systematic and comprehensive view of the concept of "gaps" in medical CBIR research. In particular, we define an ontology of 14 gaps that addresses the image content and features, as well as system performance and usability. In addition to these gaps, we identify seven system characteristics that impact CBIR applicability and performance. The framework we have created can be used a posteriori to compare medical CBIR systems and approaches for specific biomedical image domains and goals and a priori during the design phase of a medical CBIR application, as the systematic analysis of gaps provides detailed insight in system comparison and helps to direct future research.

TI Substance use and behaviour disorders in Puerto Rican youth: a migrant family study SO JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND COMMUNITY HEALTH LA English DT Article ID DIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEW SCHEDULE; TEST-RETEST RELIABILITY; NATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGIC SURVEY; IV PSYCHIATRIC-DISORDERS; ILLICIT DRUG-USE; UNITED-STATES; MEXICAN-AMERICANS; SOCIAL-ASSIMILATION; 12-MONTH PREVALENCE; ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE AB Background: Hispanics in the USA have higher rates of substance use disorders than similar ethnic groups residing in Latin American nations, and recent evidence suggests an increase in substance use among US Hispanic youth. This investigation examines the familial and societal correlates of this increase by comparing Puerto Rican families residing in the mainland USA and Puerto Rico. Methods: Using migrant and controlled family study methods, 279 probands in San Juan and 236 probands in New Haven were recruited from treatment clinics and the general community to compose four diagnostic groups: drug abuse/dependence; alcohol abuse/dependence; psychiatric controls; unaffected controls. 806 biological offspring aged 12-17 were then directly interviewed. Results: Total rates for alcohol use were greater among San Juan Youth than their migrant counterparts. By contrast, US migrant adolescents were more likely to use cannabis. A strong association was observed between parental and child substance use at both sites, particularly for boys, and offspring of probands with drug use disorders were at greatest risk for substance use and related disorders. Familial aggregation patterns did not vary substantially by site. Conclusions: Despite societal influences on the magnitude and patterns of substance use in migrant youth, the consistent influence of parental disorders across sites reveals that the cross-generational transmission of substance use disorders in prior studies extends to Hispanic families and is an important factor to consider in the development of prevention strategies.

Fifty nine women between the ages of 18-39 years were interviewed in this grounded theory study, 44 of those tested were found to have a mutation in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. Of those with a mutation, 23 had no history of cancer and 21 had a breast cancer diagnosis. Analysis of the 44 participants tested found that risk reducing decisions were related to the life trajectories that preceded genetic testing. These life trajectories included: 1) Long-standing awareness of breast cancer in the family, 2) Loss of one's mother to breast cancer at a young age, 3) Expression of concern by a health care provider, and 4) Personal diagnosis of breast cancer. Understanding possible influences behind decision making for genetic testing and risk reduction in young women may assist health care providers in offering age appropriate guidance and support.

To better understand the genetic regulation of gonadal development, we performed Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) to profile the genes and novel transcripts, and an average of 152,000 tags from male embryonic gonads at E10.5 (embryonic day 10.5), E11.5, E12.5, E13.5, E15.5 and E17.5 were analyzed. A total of 275,583 non-singleton tags that do not map to any annotated sequence were identified in the six gonad libraries, and 47,255 tags were mapped to 24,975 annotated sequences, among which 987 sequences were uncharacterized. Utilizing an unsupervised pattern identification technique, we established molecular staging of male gonadal development. Rather than providing a static descriptive analysis, we developed algorithms to cluster the SAGE data and assign SAGE tags to a corresponding chromosomal position; these data are displayed in chromosome graphic format. A prominent increase in global genomic activity from E10.5 to E17.5 was observed. Important chromosomal regions related to the developmental processes were identified and validated based on established mouse models with developmental disorders. These regions may represent markers for early diagnosis for disorders of male gonad development as well as potential treatment targets.

In addition to a genetic predisposition, environmental risk factors including repetitive use and musculoskeletal constraints are contributory. Although the underlying cause is unknown, recent studies have identified several key mechanisms that may play a part in its genesis. Failure of inhibition, abnormal sensorimotor integration, and maladaptive plasticity seen to be important. Understanding the underlying physiology may lead to the design of novel therapies.

TI Clinical trial design and evidence-based outcomes in the study of liver diseases SO JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT 2nd Annual Conference of the International-Liver-Cancer-Association CY SEP, 2008 CL Chicago, IL SP Int Liver Cancer Assoc DE Clinical design; Evidenced-based outcomes; Surrogate endpoints ID SURROGATE END-POINTS; COLORECTAL-CANCER; RISK; COFFEE AB Current medical training often does not include the formal study of trial design, forcing clinicians to acquire this knowledge independently. This article reviews the foundational elements of clinical trial design. An overarching hierarchy of clinical evidence is introduced, and the relative strengths and limitations of the major types of study designs are discussed. A corollary to the hierarchy of evidence in trial designs is proposed for trial outcomes: the "pyramid of endpoints." This pyramid represents a spectrum of outcomes from tangible health events to intermediate markers with no direct physical impact on an individual. The potential advantages and difficulties inherent in the use of surrogate endpoints for final health outcomes are explored. Randomized controlled trials utilizing "hard" clinical endpoints are advocated as the most efficient and reliable way to directly assess the benefits and harms of a therapy; however, using a case study of treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, we highlight the challenges that can complicate even the highest levels of evidence. All trials have a "signal-to-noise" ratio - this review emphasizes the need for careful and deliberate consideration of the potential limitations of every study, and provides basic tools to assist the practitioner in identifying common pitfalls of clinical trials.

Neuroimmunological mechanisms might be prominently involved in the endogenous homeostatic principles that control baseline levels of adult neurogenesis. We show in this study that this homeostasis is partially dependent on CD4-positive T lymphocytes. Systemic depletion of CD4-positive T lymphocytes led to significantly reduced hippocampal neurogenesis, impaired reversal learning in the Morris water maze, and decreased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in the brain. No such effect of CD8 or B cells was observed. Repopulation of RAG2(-/-) mice with CD4, but not with CD8 cells again increased precursor cell proliferation. The T cells in our experiments were non-CNS specific and rarely detectable in the healthy brain. Thus, we can exclude cell-cell contacts between immune and brain cells or lymphocyte infiltration into the CNS as a prerequisite for an effect. of CD4-T cells on neurogenesis. We propose that systemic CD4-T cell activity is required for maintaining cellular plasticity in the adult hippocampus and represents an evolutionary relevant communication route for the brain to respond to environmental changes.

TI Identification and Characterization of a Human CD5(+) Pre-Naive B Cell Population SO JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SYSTEMIC-LUPUS-ERYTHEMATOSUS; LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS; RHEUMATOID-FACTOR; PLASMA-CELLS; ANTIBODY; SELECTION; BLOOD; SIGNALS; RECONSTITUTION; COMPARTMENT AB We have identified a distinct pre-naive B cell population circulating in human peripheral blood that exhibits an intermediate phenotype between transitional and naive B cells. Like human transitional B cells, these cells express CD5 but have intermediate densities of CD38, CD10, CD9, and the ABCB1 transporter compared with transitional and naive B cells. These pre-naive B cells account for a majority of circulating human CD5(+) B cells. Importantly, CD5(+) pre-naive B cells could be induced to differentiate into cells with a naive phenotype in vitro. CD5(+) pre-naive B cells show only partial responses to BCR stimulation and CD40 ligation and undergo more spontaneous apoptosis and cell death than do naive B cells, whereas BAFF/BLyS (B cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family) did not enhance their survival compared with naive B cells. In contrast, CD5+ pre-naive B cells carry out certain functions comparable to naive B cells, including the capacity to differentiate into plasma cells and the ability to function as APCs. Notably, an increased proportion of CD5+ pre-naive B cells were found in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. These results have identified a unique intermediate in human naive B cell development within the peripheral blood and derangements of its homeostasis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

We administered the IDO inhibitor 1-methyl-D-trypitophan (D-1mT) for 13 days to SIV-infected rhesus macaques receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). D-1mT treatment increased the plasma levels of Trp, without reducing the levels of Kyn, suggesting only a partial effect on IDO enzymatic activity. Surprisingly, D-1mT significantly reduced the virus levels in plasma and lymph nodes of ART-treated animals with incomplete responsiveness to ART. In SIV-infected animals that were not receiving ART, D-1mT was ineffective in reducing the plasma viral load and had only a marginal effect on the plasma Kyn/Trp ratio. Increased IDO and TGF-beta mRNA expression in lymph nodes of ART-treated macaques after D-1mT treatment suggested that compensatory counterregulatory mechanisms were activated by D-1mT, which may account for the lack of effect on plasma Kyn. Finally, D-1mT did not interfere with the ART-induced T cell dynamics in lymph nodes (increased frequency of total CD4 T cells, increase of CD8 T cells expressing the antiapoptotic molecule Bcl2, and reduction of regulatory T cells). Thus, D-1mT appeared to synergize with ART in inhibiting viral replication and did not interfere with the beneficial immunologic effects of ART. Further studies are required to elucidate the immunologic or virologic mechanism by which D-1mT inhibited SIV replication in vivo. The Journal of Immunology, 2009, 182: 4313-4320.

TI Immunologic and Therapeutic Synergy of IL-27 and IL-2: Enhancement of T Cell Sensitization, Tumor-Specific CTL Reactivity and Complete Regression of Disseminated Neuroblastoma Metastases in the Liver and Bone Marrow SO JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID ESTABLISHED MURINE NEUROBLASTOMA; CHILDRENS CANCER GROUP; COLON-CARCINOMA CELLS; DOSE INTERLEUKIN-2; ANTITUMOR-ACTIVITY; DENDRITIC CELLS; IFN-GAMMA; IN-VIVO; REFRACTORY NEUROBLASTOMA; ANTIMETASTATIC ACTIVITY AB IL-27 exerts antitumor activity in murine orthotopic neuroblastoma, but only partial antitumor effect in disseminated disease. This study demonstrates that combined treatment with IL-2 and IL-27 induces potent antitumor activity in disseminated neuroblastoma metastasis. Complete durable tumor regression was achieved in 90% of mice bearing metastatic TBJ-IL-27 tumors treated with IL-2 compared with only 40% of mice bearing TBJ-IL-27 tumors alone and 0% of mice bearing TBJ-FLAG tumors with or without IL-2 treatment. Comparable antitumor effects were achieved by IL-27 protein produced upon hydrodynamic IL-27 plasmid DNA delivery when combined with IL-2. Although delivery of IL-27 alone, or in combination with M-2, mediated pronounced regression of neuroblastoma metastases in the liver, combined delivery of IL-27 and IL-2 was far more effective than IL-27 alone against bone marrow metastases. Combined exposure to IL-27 produced by tumor and IL-2 synergistically enhances the generation of tumor-specific CTL reactivity. Potentiation of CTL reactivity by IL-27 occurs via mechanisms that appear to be engaged during both the initial sensitization and effector phase. Potent immunologic memory responses are generated in mice cured of their disseminated disease by combined delivery of IL-27 and IL-2, and depletion of CD8(+) ablates the antitumor efficacy of this combination. Moreover, IL-27 delivery can inhibit the expansion of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory and IL-17-expressing CD4(+) cells that are otherwise observed among tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from mice treated with IL-2. These studies demonstrate that IL-27 and IL-2 synergistically induce complete tumor regression and long-term survival in mice bearing widely metastatic neuroblastoma tumors.

In both fundamental and applied research settings, methods for large-scale production of D. radiodurans are needed. In this study, a systematic investigation was carried out to optimize D. radiodurans production at the 20-L fermentor scale. In defined medium, the phosphate buffer typically used was found to be inhibitory to D. radiodurans growth, and caused cell aggregation. Substitution of HEPES and MOPS buffers for phosphate buffer improved D. radiodurans growth characteristics. Several antifoaming agents were investigated to support large-scale production with submerged aeration, and the defoamer KFO 673 was chosen based on its ability to prevent foaming without affecting D. radiodurans growth. The conventional undefined rich medium tryptone/glucose/yeast extract (TGY) maximally supported D. radiodurans growth to an OD(600) of 10. Using a 'design of experiments' approach, we found glucose, Mg and Mn to be critical in supporting high-density growth of D. radiodurans. The optimal pH and temperature for D. radiodurans growth in large-scale preparations were 7.0 and 37A degrees C, respectively. Growth was carried out in a 20-L fermentor using the newly developed media under the optimal conditions. With addition of 10 g/L glucose, 0.5 g/L MgSO(4) center dot A 7H(2)O, 5 A mu M MnCl(2) into TGY media, an OD(600) of 40 was achieved. C1 NHLBI, Biochem Lab, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

In a trial in Rakai, Uganda, 6396 men aged 15-49 years were evaluated for serological evidence of HSV-2, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis infections at enrollment and at 6, 12, and 24 months. The prevalence of HSV-2 infection was 33.76%, and the incidence was 4.90 cases per 100 person-years. HSV-2 incidence increased with alcohol use with sexual intercourse (adjusted incidence rate ratio [adjIRR], 1.92 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.46-2.53]), decreased with consistent condom use (adjIRR, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.36-0.89]) and male circumcision (adjIRR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.55-0.91]), and was not significantly affected by enrollment HIV status. Education on modifiable behavioral changes may reduce the acquisition of HSV-2. (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT00425984 and NCT00124878.) C1 [Tobian, Aaron A.

Each of these factors renders neonatal seizures more difficult to treat, and therapy has been a vexing area for recent advances in this seizure category. Conversely, specific metabolic disorders have very special therapeutic considerations in the clinical setting of neonatal seizures which require a high index of clinical suspicion and rapid intervention for a successful outcome. The prototype is pyridoxine dependency, although pyridoxal 5'-phosphate dependency is a recently recognized but treatable neonatal epilepsy that deserves earmarked distinction. Clinicians must remain vigilant for these possibilities, including atypical cases where apparent seizure-free intervals may occur. Folinic acid-dependent seizures are allelic with pyridoxine dependency. Serine-dependent seizures and glucose transporter deficiency may present with neonatal seizures and have specific therapy. A vital potassium channel regulated by serum ATP/ADP ratios in the pancreas and brain may be mutated with a resultant neuroendocrinopathy characterized by development delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes (DEND). This requires oral hypoglycaemic therapy, and not insulin, for neurological responsiveness. The startle syndrome of hyperekplexia, which mimics neonatal epilepsy, has been associated with laryngospasm and sudden death but is treated with benzodiazepines. C1 [Pearl, P.

The disorder is due to the deficiency of the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) 5-phosphatase, ocrl1. PIP(2) is critical for numerous cellular processes, including cell signalling, actin reorganization and protein trafficking, and is chronically elevated in patients with Lowe syndrome. The elevation of PIP(2) cells of patients with Lowe syndrome provides the unique opportunity to investigate the roles of this phospholipid in fundamental cellular processes. We previously demonstrated that ocrl1 deficiency causes alterations in the actin cytoskeleton. Since actin remodelling is strongly activated by [Ca(+2)], which increases in response to IP(3) production, we hypothesized that altered calcium signalling might contribute to the observed abnormalities in actin organization. Here we report a specific increase in bradykinin-induced Ca(+2) mobilization in Lowe fibroblasts. We show that the abnormal bradykinin signalling occurs in spite of normal total cellular receptor content. These data point to a novel role for ocrl1 in agonist-induced calcium release. C1 [Suchy, S.

Its possible involvement in appendage subtype determination and postinduction stage appendage development, however, has not been studied systematically. To address these issues we manipulated Eda-A1 transgene expression in a tetracycline-regulated conditional mouse model, where the transgene is the only source of active ectodysplasin (Eda). We find that Eda-A1 restores sweat glands and all hair subtypes in Tabby, but each requires its action at an idiosyncratic time of development: by E17 for guard, by E19 for awl, and starting at E18 for zigzag/auchen hair. Guard and awl hairs were indistinguishable from their wild-type counterparts; but restored zigzag and auchen hairs, although recognizable, were somewhat smaller and lacked characteristic bends. Notably, secondary hair follicle formation of awl, auchen, and zigzag hairs required higher Eda-A1 expression level than did guard hair or sweat glands. Furthermore, Eda-A1 expression is required until the early dermal papilla stage for guard hair germs to make follicles, but is dispensable for their maturation. Similarly, sweat gland pegs require Eda-A1 at an early stage to form mature glands. Thus we infer that EDA signaling is needed for the determination and development of various skin appendages at spatiotemporally restricted intervals.

We investigated the consequences of repetitive UV exposure of human skin in biopsies of 10 subjects with phototypes 2-3.5 taken 1-4 years later. The expression of melanogenic factors (TYR, MART1, MITF), growth factors/receptors (SCF/KIT, bFGF/FGFR1, ET1/EDNRB, HGF, GM-CSF), adhesion molecules (beta-catenin, E-cadherin, N-cadherin), cell cycle proteins (PCNA, cyclins D1, E2) as well as Bcl-2, DKK1, and DKK3, were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Most of those markers showed no detectable changes at >= 1 year after the repetitive UV irradiation. Although increased expression of EDNRB protein was detected in 3 of 10 UV-irradiated subjects, there was no detectable change in the expression of ET1 protein or in EDNRB mRNA levels. In summary, only the expression of TYR, MART1, and/or EDNRB, and only in some subjects, was elevated at >= 1 year after UV irradiation. Thus the long-term effects of repetitive UV irradiation on human skin did not lead to significant changes in skin morphology and there is considerable subject-to-subject variation in responses. The possibility that changes in the expression and function of EDNRB triggers downstream activation of abnormal melanocyte proliferation and differentiation deserves further investigation.

Their daily human dietary requirements are not clear, and their liver synthesis rates in humans and nonhumans are unknown. We estimated whole-body (presumably liver) synthesis rates in unanesthetized rats by infusing [U-(13)C]alpha-LNA intravenously for 2 h and measuring labeled and unlabeled n-3 PUFA in arterial plasma using negative chemical ionization GC-MS. Newly synthesized esterified [(13)C] DHA, [(13)C] EPA, and [(13)C] docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) appeared in arterial plasma after 60 min of infusion, then their concentrations rose in an S-shaped manner. Esterified concentration x plasma volume data were fit with a sigmoidal equation, whose peak first derivatives provided synthesis rates of unlabeled EPA, DPA, and DHA equal to 8.40, 6.27, and 9.84 mmol/day, respectively. The DHA synthesis rate exceeded the published daily rat brain DHA consumption rate by 30-fold, suggesting that liver synthesis from alpha-LNA could maintain brain DHA homeostasis were DHA absent from the diet. This stable isotope infusion method could be used to quantify whole-body DHA synthesis rates in human subjects.-Gao, F., D. Kiesewetter, L. Chang, K. Ma, J. M. Bell, S. I. Rapoport, and M. Igarashi.

Due to their small size, their identification and isolation have proved to be problematic. Their insolubility in nonionic detergents, such as Triton-X 100, at 4 degrees C has been the most common means of isolation. However, detergent presence can produce artifacts or interfere with ganglioside distribution. The direction is therefore toward the use of detergent-free protocols. We report an optimized method of raft isolation from lipid-rich brain tissue using a detergent-free method. We compared this to Triton-X 100-based isolation along sucrose or Optiprep (TM) gradients using the following endpoints: low protein content, high cholesterol content, presence of Flotillin 1 (Flot1), and absence of transferrin receptor (TfR) proteins. These criteria were met in raft fractions isolated in a detergent-free buffer along a sucrose gradient of 5%/35%/42.5%. The use of optiprep gave less consistent results with respect to protein distribution. We demonstrate that clean raft fractions with minimal myelin contamination can be reproducibly obtained in the top three low-density fractions along a sucrose step gradient. Persaud-Sawin, D-A., S.

Activation of sphingosine kinases (SphKs) by a variety of agonists increases intracellular S1P, which in turn can be secreted out of the cell and bind to and signal through S1P receptors (S1PRs) in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner. Recent studies suggest that this "inside-out" signaling by S1P may play a role in many human diseases. As the roles of the S1PRs in cell and organismal physiology are discussed elsewhere in this volume, we focus this review mainly on recent reports showing how SphKs are activated and S1P reaches its receptors, the role of SphKs and S1P in regulating sphingolipid homeostasis, and the potential importance of the SphK/S1P axis as a therapeutic target in human diseases.-Maceyka, M., S.

TI A signal transformational framework for breaking the noise floor and its applications in MRI SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE LA English DT Article DE MR noise floor; Signal transformation; Rician; NonCentral Chi; Gaussian; MRI ID MAGNETIC-RESONANCE IMAGES; AUTOMATIC PHASE CORRECTION; DIFFUSION; RESOLUTION; VARIANCE; RECONSTRUCTION; DISTRIBUTIONS; SYSTEMS; BRAIN AB A long-standing problem in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the noise-induced bias in the magnitude signals. This problem is particularly pressing in diffusion MRI at high diffusion-weighting. In this paper, we present a three-stage scheme to solve this problem by transforming noisy nonCentral Chi signals to noisy Gaussian signals. A special case of nonCentral Chi distribution is the Rician distribution. In general, the Gaussian-distributed signals are of interest rather than the Gaussian-derived (e.g., Rayleigh, Rician, and nonCentral Chi) signals because the Gaussian-distributed signals are generally more amenable to statistical treatment through the principle of least squares. Monte Carlo simulations were used to validate the statistical properties of the proposed framework. This scheme opens up the possibility of investigating the low signal regime (or high diffusion-weighting regime in the case of diffusion MRI) that contains potentially important information about biophysical processes and structures of the brain.

TI Pulsed EPR imaging of nitroxides in mice SO JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE LA English DT Article DE Nitroxide; Oximetry; Pulsed EPR; Redox; Single point imaging ID ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC-RESONANCE; SENSITIVE CONTRAST AGENTS; OVERHAUSER-ENHANCED MRI; TUMOR REDOX STATUS; TIME-DOMAIN EPR; RADICALS; OXYGENATION; RESOLUTION AB Nitroxides, unlike trityl radicals, have shorter T(2)s which until now were not detectable in vivo by a time-domain Pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer at 300 MHz since their phase memory times were shorter than the spectrometer recovery times. In the current version of the time-domain EPR spectrometer with improved spectrometer recovery times, the feasibility of detecting signals from nitroxide radicals was tested. Among the nitroxides evaluated, deuterated (15)N-Tempone ((15)N-PDT) was found to have the longest T(2). The signal intensity profile as a function of concentration of these agents was evaluated and a biphasic behavior was observed; beyond a nitroxide concentration of 1.5 mM, signal intensity was found to decrease as a result of self-broadening. Imaging experiments were carried out with (15)N-PDT in Solutions equilibrated with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 21% oxygen using the single point imaging (SPI) modality in EPR. The image intensity in these tubes was found to depend on the oxygen concentration which in turn influences the T(2) of (15)N-PDT. In vivo experiments were demonstrated with (15)N-PDT in anesthetized mice where the distribution and metabolism of (15)N-PDT could be monitored. This study, for the first time shows the capability to image a cell-permeable nitroxide in mice using pulsed EPR in the SPI modality. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Inc.

Vaginal and rectal microflora in Chinese rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) were analyzed, with cultivable bacteria identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Live lactobacilli were intravaginally administered to evaluate bacterial colonization. Chinese rhesus macaques harbored abundant vaginal Lactobacillus, with Lactobacillus johnsonii as the predominant species. Like humans, most examined macaques harbored only one vaginal Lactobacillus species. Vaginal and rectal Lactobacillus isolates from the same animal exhibited different genetic and biochemical profiles. Vaginal Lactobacillus was cleared by a vaginal suppository of azithromycin, and endogenous L. johnsonii was subsequently restored by intravaginal inoculation. Importantly, prolonged colonization of a human vaginal Lactobacillus jensenii was established in these animals. The Chinese rhesus macaque harbors vaginal Lactobacillus and is a potentially useful model to support the pre-clinical evaluation of Lactobacillus-based topical microbicides.

TI Phylogenetic Analysis of Novel G12 Rotaviruses in the United States: A Molecular Search for the Origin of a New Strain SO JOURNAL OF MEDICAL VIROLOGY LA English DT Article DE rotavirus; classification; evolution; genetic shift; vaccine ID POLYMERASE CHAIN-REACTION; GROUP-A ROTAVIRUSES; GENETIC-HETEROGENEITY; VP6 GENES; CHILDREN; DIARRHEA; EMERGENCE; SEROTYPE; INDIA; IDENTIFICATION AB Rotavirus serotype G12 was initially identified in the Philippines in 1987 and was not described again until it reemerged more than 13 years later. G12 strains were first detected in the United States in 2002 and have recently assumed a worldwide distribution. The high similarity between the sequence of the major outer capsid VP7 gene of human G12 strains and the single porcine G12 isolate raised the prospect that human strains may have arisen through reassortment with porcine strains or, alternatively, that the porcine strain originally came from humans. We sequenced portions of the remaining 10 segments of two human G12 strains (G12P[8] and G12P[61]) and a currently circulating common strain (GlP[8]) identified during the 2005-2006 surveillance season and compared the sequences with those of strains available through GenBank. By comparison, the three strains were all Wa-like and not porcine-like. A newly outlined classification system proposed genotypes for each gene segment based on nucleotide similarity. Using this approach, gene segments VP1-3, VP6 and NSP1-5 grouped within the same genotype, indicating that the three strains analyzed were closely related. These results suggest that the novel G12P[8] strain could have been formed by the solitary introduction of a VP7 gene into a globally common rotavirus strain, GlP[8]. Classifying rotavirus strains based only on VP7 (G) and VP4 (P) genotype potentially underestimates diversity and sequence analysis of the other segments is required to assess the complete genetic relationships between strains.

We have cloned and studied Slc26a9, a paralogue expressed mostly in lung and stomach. Immunohistochemistry shows that Slc26a9 is present at apical and intracellular membranes of lung and stomach epithelia. Using expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and ion-sensitive microelectrodes, we discovered that Slc26a9 has a novel function not found in any other Slc26 proteins: cation coupling. Intracellular pH and voltage measurements show that Slc26a9 is a nCl(-)-HCO (3) (-) exchanger, suggesting roles in gastric HCl secretion or pulmonary HCO (3) (-) secretion; Na+ electrodes and uptakes reveal that Slc26a9 has a cation dependence. Single-channel measurements indicate that Slc26a9 displays discrete open and closed states. These experiments show that Slc26a9 has three discrete physiological modes: nCl(-)-HCO (3) (-) exchanger, Cl- channel, and Na+-anion cotransporter. Thus, the Slc26a9 transporter channel is uniquely suited for dynamic and tissue-specific physiology or regulation in epithelial tissues.

Here, we find evidence that global SUMOylation is also involved in ischemic tolerance in primary cortical neuronal cultures (from rats and mice) and SHSY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Cultured cortical neurons preconditioned by sublethal oxygen/glucose deprivation (OGD) were less vulnerable to severe OGD than non-preconditioned neurons. Preconditioned neurons maintained elevated SUMO-1 conjugation levels (and, to a lesser extent those of SUMO-2/3) on western blots in contrast to non-preconditioned cells. Further, cortical neurons and SHSY5Y cells in which transfected SUMO-1 or SUMO-2 were over-expressed showed increased survival after severe OGD. In contrast, cell cultures subjected to depletion of endogenous SUMO-1 protein by RNAi had reduced survival after exposure to this form of in vitro ischemia and an attenuated protective response to preconditioning. These findings suggest that maintenance of a globally elevated SUMO-1 (and maybe SUMO-2/3) conjugation level as revealed by immunoblot assays is a component of ischemic tolerance.

Oxygen consumption was measured using an amperometric self-referencing platinum electrode adjacent to neurons in which [Ca2+](i) and m Delta psi were monitored with Fluo-4 and TMRE+, respectively, using a spinning disk laser confocal microscope. Excitotoxic doses of glutamate caused an elevation of [Ca2+](i) followed seconds afterwards by an increase in O-2 consumption which reached a maximum level within 1-5 min. A modest increase in m Delta psi occurred during this time period, and then, shortly before maximal O-2 consumption was reached, the m Delta psi, as indicated by TMRE+ fluorescence, dissipated. Maximal O-2 consumption lasted up to 5 min and then declined together with m Delta psi and ATP levels, while [Ca2+](i) further increased. m Delta psi and [Ca2+](i) returned to baseline levels when neurons were treated with an NMDA receptor antagonist shortly after the [Ca2+](i) increased. Our unprecedented spatial and time resolution revealed that this sequence of events is identical in all neurons, albeit with considerable variability in magnitude and kinetics of changes in O-2 consumption, [Ca2+](i), and m Delta psi. The data obtained using this new method are consistent with a model where Ca2+ influx causes ATP depletion, despite maximal mitochondrial respiration, minutes after glutamate receptor activation.

How does the brain represent a red circle? One possibility is that there is a specialized and possibly time-consuming process whereby the attributes of shape and color, carried by separate populations of neurons in low-order visual cortex, are bound together into a unitary neural representation. Another possibility is that neurons in high-order visual cortex are selective, by virtue of their bottom-up input from low-order visual areas, for particular conjunctions of shape and color. A third possibility is that they simply sum shape and color signals linearly. We tested these ideas by measuring the responses of inferotemporal cortex neurons to sets of stimuli in which two attributes-shape and color-varied independently. We find that a few neurons exhibit conjunction selectivity but that in most neurons the influences of shape and color sum linearly. Contrary to the idea of conjunction coding, few neurons respond selectively to a particular combination of shape and color. Contrary to the idea that binding requires time, conjunction signals, when present, occur as early as feature signals. We argue that neither conjunction selectivity nor a specialized feature binding process is necessary for the effective representation of shapecolor combinations.

Multiple rhythmic states in a model of the respiratory central pattern generator. J Neurophysiol 101: 2146-2165, 2009. First published February 4, 2009; doi:10.1152/jn.90958.2008. The three-phase respiratory pattern observed during normal breathing changes with alterations in metabolic or physiological conditions. A recent study using in situ perfused rat brain preparations demonstrated a reorganization of the respiratory pattern with sequential reduction of the brain stem respiratory network. Specifically, with removal of the pons, the normal three-phase pattern transformed to a two-phase inspiratory-expiratory pattern and, with more caudal transections, to one-phase, intrinsically generated inspiratory oscillations. A minimal neural network proposed to reproduce these transformations includes 1) a ringlike mutually inhibitory network composed of the postinspiratory, augmenting expiratory, and early-inspiratory neurons and 2) an excitatory preinspiratory neuron, with persistent sodium current (I(NaP))-dependent intrinsic bursting properties, that dynamically participates in the expiratory-inspiratory phase transition and inspiratory phase generation. We used activity-based single-neuron models and applied numerical simulations, bifurcation methods, and fast-slow decomposition to describe the behavior of this network in the functional states corresponding to the three-, two-, and one-phase oscillatory regimes, as well as to analyze the transitions between states and between respiratory phases within each state. We demonstrate that, although I(NaP) is not necessary for the generation of three- and two-phase oscillations, it contributes to control of the oscillation period in each state. We also show that the transitions between states can be produced by progressive changes of drives to particular neurons and proceed through intermediate regimes, featuring high-amplitude late-expiratory and biphasic-expiratory activities or ectopic burst generation. Our results provide important insights for understanding the state-dependent mechanisms for respiratory rhythm generation and control. C1 [Rubin, Jonathan E.; Ermentrout, G.

TI Subunit- and Pathway-Specific Localization of NMDA Receptors and Scaffolding Proteins at Ganglion Cell Synapses in Rat Retina SO JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE LA English DT Article ID LONG-TERM POTENTIATION; NR1 SPLICE VARIANTS; CEREBELLAR GRANULE NEURONS; IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL LOCALIZATION; SYNAPTIC LOCALIZATION; HIPPOCAMPAL SYNAPSES; GUANYLATE KINASES; MAMMALIAN RETINA; CAT RETINA; MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AB Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) receive excitatory glutamatergic input from ON and OFF bipolar cells in distinct sublaminae of the inner plexiform layer (IPL). AMPA and NMDA receptors (AMPARs and NMDARs) mediate excitatory inputs in both synaptic layers, but specific roles for NMDARs at RGC synapses remain unclear. NMDARs comprise NR1 and NR2 subunits and are anchored by membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs), but it is unknown whether particular NR2 subunits associate preferentially with particular NR1 splice variants and MAGUKs. Here, we used postembedding immunogold electron microscopy techniques to examine the subsynaptic localization of NMDAR subunits and MAGUKs at ON and OFF synapses onto rat RGCs. We found that the NR2A subunit, the NR1C2' splice variant, and MAGUKs PSD-95 and PSD-93 are localized to the postsynaptic density (PSD), preferentially at OFF synapses, whereas the NR2B subunit, the NR1C2 splice variant, and the MAGUK SAP102 are localized perisynaptically, with NR2B exhibiting a preference for ON synapses. Consistent with these anatomical data, spontaneous EPSCs (sEPSCs) recorded from OFF cells exhibited an NMDAR component that was insensitive to the NR2B antagonist Ro 25-6981. In ON cells, sEPSCs expressed an NMDAR component, partially sensitive to Ro 25-6981, only when glutamate transport was inhibited, indicating perisynaptic expression of NR2B NMDARs. These results provide the first evidence for preferential association of particular NR1 splice variants, NR2 subunits, and MAGUKs at central synapses and suggest that different NMDAR subtypes may play specific roles at functionally distinct synapses in the retinal circuitry.

Adult C57BI/6 male (n = 48) mice were subjected to bilateral common carotid artery stenosis with external microcoils (inner diameters: 0.16 mm, left; 0.18 mm, right). Mice were categorized according to left-side cerebral blood flow (CBF) value on day 6 into those with severe cerebral hypoperfusion (SCH; n = 16, < 30% of preoperative CBF baseline value) or moderate cerebral hypoperfusion (MCH; n = 21, 30-50% of preoperative value). Another 15 mice were sham operated. Neurological dysfunction was evaluated by Morris water maze, rotating rod, and open field tests. Histopathological examination was performed on day 35 after surgery. MCH animals showed persistent hyperlocomotion with reduced anxiety and spatial reference memory dysfunction. Rarefaction and small necrotic lesions were predominantly confined to the WM, with reactive astrocytosis, microglial infiltration, axonal loss, and myelin disruption, and these changes were dominant on the left side. SCH animals had persistent hyperlocomotion and motor dysfunction, and their ischemic lesions extended from the WM to the hippocampus and cortex. In MCH animals, myelin basic protein and neurofilament fiber densities in the WM were correlated with the time spent in the correct area in the water maze probe trials. Our MCH mouse model with the development of several types of neurological dysfunction with high reproducibility would be useful for investigating the pathomechanisms of WM injury in human SIVD.

Visceral adiposity and increased intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) are associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Aim: To determine whether prepubertal girls with PA have altered visceral adiposity and/or increased muscle lipid content compared to prepubertal girls without PA using proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (H-1 MRS). Patients and Methods: We performed total body dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, MRI of the trunk, and MRS of the tibialis anterior muscle in the right calf on six girls with PA and eight prepubertal controls. Results: Amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and VAT to SAT ratio did not differ significantly between the PA and control girls. Those with PA, however, had significantly greater IMCL than controls (p = 0.004). Conclusions: This study adds further evidence that PA is not a benign condition, and future studies investigating early intervention with dietary and exercise counseling may help diminish potential risk for diabetes mellitus and/or cardiovascular disease.

Major topics included targeting cell surface receptors, understanding and improving T-cell-based therapies, augmenting innate immune strategies, and enhancing graft-versus-leukemia for pediatric malignancies. As can be seen in the summaries of the individual presentations, significant progress has been made in developing preclinical models of pediatric tumors and a variety of novel immunobiologic therapies are approaching, or already in, the clinic. Although there is much excitement about the potential utility of these agents, a great deal of challenges lie ahead in improving the efficacy of each of these modalities and getting them to patients in a timely fashion. The resulting discussions will hopefully lead to new collaborations and insight for further translational and clinical studies.

Kenneth CA NICHD Neonatal Res Network TI Maternal Age, Multiple Birth, and Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants SO JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS LA English DT Article ID NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES; VITAL-STATISTICS; PREGNANCY; WOMEN; OLDER; RISK AB Objectives To compare the rates of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome or death at IS to 22 months among extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants born to mothers >= 40 years to the corresponding rates among infants of younger mothers. Study design Prospective evaluation of ELBW infants to quantify the relative risks of maternal age and multiple birth for death or adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Results The sample consisted of 14 671 live ELBW births divided into maternal age groups: <20, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, and >= 40 years. Of infants born to mothers >= 40 years, 20% were multiples. Mothers >= 40 years had high rates of obstetric interventions and medical morbidities compared with mothers <40 years. ELBW live births of mothers >= 40 years were 22% more likely to survive and bad a 13% decreased risk of neurodevelopmental impairment or death compared with mothers <20. Multiple birth, however, was associated with a 10% greater risk of neurodevelopmental impairment or death. Conclusion Although mothers >= 40 years had high pregnancy-related morbidities, we found no overall increased risk of the composite outcome of death or NDI. Multiple birth, however, was a predictor of all adverse outcomes examined, regardless of maternal age.

Study design We used the content specifications of the NRP material applicable to college-educated nurse midwives working in low-risk clinics in Zambia to develop performance and self-efficacy evaluations focused on principles of resuscitation, initial steps, ventilation, and chest compressions. These evaluations were administered to 127 nurse midwives before and after NRP training and 6-months later. Results After training, written scores (knowledge evaluation) improved from 57% +/- 14% to 80% +/- 12% (mean +/- SD; P < .0001); performance scores (skills evaluation) improved the most from 43% +/- 21% to 88% +/- 9% (P < .0001); self-efficacy scores improved from 74% +/- 14% to 90% +/- 10% (P < .0001). Written and performance scores decreased significantly 6 months after training, but self-efficacy scores remained high. Conclusions As conducted, the NRP training improved educational outcomes in college-educated practicing nurse mid-wives. Pre-training knowledge and skills scores were relatively low despite the advanced formal education and experience of the participants, whereas the self-efficacy scores were high. NRP training has the potential to substantially improve knowledge and skills of neonatal resuscitation.

TI Identification of Human CYP2C8 as a Retinoid-Related Orphan Nuclear Receptor Target Gene SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID CONSTITUTIVE ANDROSTANE RECEPTOR; PREGNANE-X-RECEPTOR; ROR-ALPHA; GLUCOCORTICOID-RECEPTOR; HUMAN HEPATOCYTES; TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION; CLINICAL-RELEVANCE; CIRCADIAN CLOCK; CROSS-TALK; EXPRESSION AB ` Retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptors (RORs) alpha and gamma (NR1F1, -3) are highly expressed in liver, adipose tissue, thymus, and brain and are involved in many physiological processes, such as circadian rhythm and immune function. Enzymes in the cytochrome P450 2C subfamily metabolize many clinically important drugs and endogenous compounds, such as the anticancer drug paclitaxel and arachidonic acid, and are highly expressed in liver. Here, we present the first evidence that RORs regulate the transcription of human CYP2C8. Overexpression of ROR alpha and ROR gamma in HepG2 cells significantly enhanced the activity of the CYP2C8 promoter but not that of the CYP2C9 or CYP2C19 promoters. Computer analyses, promoter deletion studies, gel shift assays, and mutational analysis identified an essential ROR-responsive element at -2045 base pairs in the CYP2C8 promoter that mediates ROR transactivation. Adenoviral overexpression of ROR alpha and -gamma significantly induced endogenous CYP2C8 transcripts in both HepG2 cells and human primary hepatocytes. Knockdown of endogenous ROR alpha and -gamma expression in HepG2 cells by RNA interference decreased the expression of endogenous CYP2C8 mRNA by similar to 50%. These data indicate that RORs transcriptionally upregulate CYP2C8 in human liver and, therefore, may be important modulators of the metabolism of drugs and physiologically active endogenous compounds by this enzyme in liver and possibly extrahepatic tissues where RORs are expressed.

TI Proerectile Effects of Dopamine D-2-Like Agonists Are Mediated by the D-3 Receptor in Rats and Mice SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID PENILE ERECTION; SEEKING BEHAVIOR; PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS; INDUCED REINSTATEMENT; SELECTIVE ANTAGONISM; COCAINE-SEEKING; APOMORPHINE; ACTIVATION; PD-168077; PIP3EA AB Dopamine D-2-like agonists induce penile erection (PE) and yawning in a variety of species, effects that have been suggested recently to be specifically mediated by the D-4 and D-3 receptors, respectively. The current studies were aimed at characterizing a series of D-2, D-3, and D-4 agonists with respect to their capacity to induce PE and yawning in the rat and the proerectile effects of apomorphine [(R)-(-)-5,6,6a, 7-tetrahydro-6-methyl-4H-dibenzo-[ de, g] quinoline-10,11-diol hydrochloride] in wild-type and D-4 receptor (R) knockout (KO) mice. All D-3 agonists induced dosedependent increases in PE and yawning over a similar range of doses, whereas significant increases in PE or yawning were not observed with any of the D-4 agonists. Likewise, D-2, D-3, and D-4 antagonists were assessed for their capacity to alter apomorphine-and pramipexole (N'-propyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole-2,6- diamine dihydrochloride)-induced PE and yawning. The D-3 antagonist, PG01037 [N-{4-[4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-trans-but-2-enyl}-4-pyridine-2-yl- benzamide hydrochloride], inhibited the induction of PE and yawning, whereas the D-2 antagonist, L-741,626 [3-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)4- hydroxypiperidin-L-yl] methyl-1H-indole], reversed the inhibition of PE and yawning observed at higher doses. The D-4 antagonist, L-745,870 [3-(4-[4-chlorophenyl] piperazin-1-yl)methyl- 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b] pyridine trihydrochloride], did not alter apomorphine-or pramipexole-induced PE or yawning. A role for the D-3 receptor was further supported because apomorphine was equipotent at inducing PE in wild-type and D-4 R KO mice, effects that were inhibited by the D-3 antagonist, PG01037, in both wild-type and D-4 R KO mice. Together, these studies provide strong support that D-2-like agonist-induced PE and yawning are differentially mediated by the D-3 (induction) and D-2 (inhibition) receptors. These studies fail to support a role for the D-4 receptor in the regulation of PE or yawning by D-2-like agonists.

TI Selective Suppression of Cocaine- versus Food-Maintained Responding by Monoamine Releasers in Rhesus Monkeys: Benzylpiperazine, (+)Phenmetrazine, and 4-Benzylpiperidine SO JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY AND EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS LA English DT Article ID CHRONIC D-AMPHETAMINE; DISCRIMINATIVE STIMULUS PROPERTIES; APPETITE-SUPPRESSANTS; OPIOID AGONISTS; CROSS-TOLERANCE; DEPENDENCE; ABUSE; SEROTONIN; RAT; PHARMACOTHERAPY AB Monoamine releasers constitute one class of drugs currently under investigation as potential agonist medications for the treatment of cocaine dependence. The efficacy and safety of monoamine releasers as candidate medications may be influenced in part by their relative potency to release dopamine and serotonin, and we reported previously that releasers with approximately 30-fold selectivity for dopamine versus serotonin release may be especially promising. The present study examined the effects of the releasers benzylpiperazine, (+)phenmetrazine, and 4-benzylpiperidine, which have 20- to 48-fold selectivity in vitro for releasing dopamine versus serotonin. In an assay of cocaine discrimination, rhesus monkeys were trained to discriminate 0.4 mg/kg i.m. cocaine from saline in a two-key, food-reinforced procedure. Each of the releasers produced a dose- and time-dependent substitution for cocaine. 4-Benzylpiperidine had the most rapid onset and shortest duration of action. Phenmetrazine and benzylpiperazine had slower onsets and longer durations of action. In an assay of cocaine self-administration, rhesus monkeys were trained to respond for cocaine injections and food pellets under a second order schedule. Treatment for 7 days with each of the releasers produced a dose- dependent and selective reduction in self-administration of cocaine (0.01 mg/kg/injection). The most selective effects were produced by phenmetrazine. Phenmetrazine also produced a downward shift in the cocaine self-administration dose effect curve, virtually eliminating responding maintained by a 30-fold range of cocaine doses (0.0032-0.1 mg/kg/injection) while having only small and transient effects on food-maintained responding. These findings support the potential utility of dopamine-selective releasers as candidate treatments for cocaine dependence. C1 [Negus, S.

Method: Parents were interviewed about their children using the K-SADS-PL, and they completed the early childhood inventory-4 (ECI-4) and child behavior checklist for ages 11/2-5 years (CBCL). Discriminant, divergent, and convergent validity of the K-SADS-PL were evaluated in 204 offspring ages 2-5 years old of parents from an ongoing study. Inter-rater reliability as well as predictive validity of intake diagnoses at second assessment approximately two years after intake were evaluated. Fourteen children were also assessed by the preschool age psychiatric assessment (PAPA). Results: Children who were diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, mood, or elimination disorders had significantly higher scores on the ECI-4 than children without these disorders. Significant correlations were found for all convergent CBCL scales. Divergent validity was acceptable for emotional disorders. Inter-rater kappa coefficients for all diagnoses were good. Above noted results were similar for children with at least one positive K-SADS-PL key screen symptom. A significantly higher percentage of children with an intake diagnosis had a diagnosis approximately two years after intake compared to those without an intake disorder. Overall, there was consistency between the PAPA and the K-SADS-PL Conclusions: Pending further testing, the K-SADS-PL may prove useful for the assessment of psychopathology in preschoolers.

The importance of students' social environments in the occurrence of physical aggression requires focused study. In this study, reports of physical aggression were examined in relation to social environment factors among national samples of students from Canada and the United States. Students in grades 6-10 from the United States (n = 14,049) and Canada (n = 7058) who had participated in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Survey (HBSC) were studied. Rates of students' physical aggression were compared between the 2 countries. School, family, socioeconomic, and peer-related factors were considered as potential risk factors. A simple social environment risk score was developed using the US data and was subsequently tested in the Canadian sample. Risks for physical aggression were consistently higher among United States versus Canadian students, but the magnitude of these differences was modest. The relative odds of physical aggression increased with reported environmental risk. To illustrate, US boys in grades 6-8 reporting the highest social environment risk score (5+) experienced a relative odds of physical aggression 4.02 (95% CI 2.7-5.9) times higher than those reporting the lowest score (adjusted OR for risk scores 0 through 5+ was 1.00, 1.19, 2.10, 2.01, 3.71, and 4.02, respectively, p(trend) < .001). Unexpectedly, rates of physical aggression and associations between social environments and students' aggression were remarkably similar in Canada and the United States. Family, peer, and school social environments serve as risk or protective factors, with significant cumulative impact on physical aggression in both countries. Given the observed high rates and the many negative effects of aggression on long-term health, school policies aimed at the reduction of such behavior remain a clear priority.

A good segmentation evaluation method would allow different segmentations not only to be compared, but to be combined to generate a "true" segmentation with higher consensus. Numerous multi-observer segmentation evaluation approaches have been proposed in the literature, and STAPLE in particular probabilistically estimates the true segmentation by optimal combination of observed segmentations and a prior model of the truth. An Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm, STAPLE's convergence to the desired local minima depends on good initializations for the truth prior and the observer-performance prior. However, accurate modeling of the initial truth prior is nontrivial. Moreover, among the two priors, the truth prior always dominates so that in certain scenarios when meaningful observer-performance priors are available, STAPLE can not take advantage of that information. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian decision formulation of the problem that permits the two types of prior knowledge to be integrated in a complementary manner in four cases with differing application purposes: (1) with known truth prior; (2) with observer prior; (3) with neither truth prior nor observer prior; and (4) with both truth prior and observer prior. The third and fourth cases are not discussed (or effectively ignored) by STAPLE, and in our research we propose a new method to combine multiple-observer segmentations based on the maximum a posterior (MAP) principle, which respects the observer prior regardless of the availability of the truth prior. Based on the four scenarios, we have developed a web-based software application that implements the flexible segmentation evaluation framework for digitized uterine cervix images. Experiment results show that our framework has flexibility in effectively integrating different priors for multi-observer segmentation evaluation and it also generates results comparing favorably to those by the STAPLE algorithm and the Majority Vote Rule.

Nonetheless, there is evidence that knowledge of how confinement modifies static behavior can aid in forecasting dynamics. Specifically, recent molecular simulation studies have shown that the relationship between excess entropy and self-diffusivity of a bulk equilibrium fluid changes only modestly when the fluid is isothermally confined, indicating that knowledge of the former might allow semi-quantitative predictions of the latter. Do other static measures, such as those that characterize free or available volume, also strongly correlate with single-particle dynamics of confined fluids? Here, we investigate this question for both the single-component hard-sphere fluid and hard-sphere mixtures. Specifically, we use molecular simulations and fundamental measure theory to study these systems at approximately 10(3) equilibrium state points. We examine three different confining geometries (slit pore, square channel, and cylindrical pore) and the effects of particle packing fraction and particle-boundary interactions. Although average density fails to predict some key qualitative trends for the self-diffusivity of confined fluids, we provide strong empirical evidence that a new generalized measure of available volume for inhomogeneous fluids correlates excellently with self-diffusivity across a wide parameter space in these systems, approximately independently of the degree of confinement. An important consequence, which we demonstrate here, is that density functional theory predictions of this static property can be used together with knowledge of bulk fluid behavior to semi-quantitatively estimate the self-diffusion coefficient of confined fluids under equilibrium conditions.

TI Genome-wide analysis of DHEA- and DHT-induced gene expression in mouse hypothalamus and hippocampus SO JOURNAL OF STEROID BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA); Androgen receptor; Genomics; CNS; Mechanism of action ID KINASE-C-DELTA; MELANIN-CONCENTRATING HORMONE; NEURAL ANDROGEN RECEPTOR; PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE DHEA; TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVITY; ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY; RAT-BRAIN; ENERGY HOMEOSTASIS; FEEDING-BEHAVIOR AB Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most abundant steroid in humans and a multi-functional neuroactive steroid that has been implicated in a variety of biological effects in both the periphery and central nervous system. Mechanistic studies of DHEA in the periphery have emphasized its role as a prohormone and those in the brain have focused on effects exerted at cell surface receptors. Recent results demonstrated that DHEA is intrinsically androgenic. It competes with DHT for binding to androgen receptor (AR), induces AR-regulated reporter gene expression in vitro, and exogenous DHEA administration regulates gene expression in peripheral androgen-dependent tissues and LnCAP prostate cancer cells, indicating genomic effects and adding a level of complexity to functional models. The absence of information about the effect of DHEA on gene expression in the CNS is a significant gap in light of continuing clinical interest in the compound as a hormone replacement therapy in older individuals, patients with adrenal insufficiency, and as a treatment that improves sense of well-being, increases libido, relieves depressive symptoms, and serves as a neuroprotective agent. In the present study, ovariectomized CF-1 female mice, an established model for assessing CNS effects of androgens, were treated with DHEA (1 mg/day), dihydrotestosterone (DHT, a potent androgen used as a positive control; 0.1 mg/day) or vehicle (negative control) for 7 days. The effects of DHEA on gene expression were assessed in two regions of the CNS that are enriched in AR, hypothalamus and hippocampus, using DNA microarray, real-time RT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry. RIA of serum samples assessed treatment effects on circulating levels of major steroids. In hypothalamus, DHEA and DHT significantly up-regulated the gene expression of hypocretin (Hcrt; also called orexin), pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (Pmch), and protein kinase C delta (Prkcd), and down-regulated the expression of deleted in bladder cancer chromosome region candidate I (Dbccr1) and chitinase 3-like 3 (Chi313). Two-step real-time RT-PCR confirmed changes in the expression of three genes (Pmch, Hcrt and Prkcd) using the same RNA sample employed in the microarray experiment. Immunohistochemistry showed augmentation of prepto-hypocretin (pHcrt) neuropeptide protein expression by DHEA and DHT in hypothalamus, consistent with the localization of orexin neurons. In hippocampus, DHT down-regulated the expression of Prkcd, while DHEA did not have significant effects. RIA results supported the view that DHEA-induced effects were mediated through AR. The current study identified neurogenomic effects of DHEA treatment on a subset of genes directly implicated in the regulation of appetite, energy utilization, alertness, apoptosis, and cell survival. These changes in gene expression in the CNS represent a constellation of effects that may help explain the diverse benefits attributed to replacement therapy with DHEA. The data also provide a new level of detail regarding the genomic mechanism of action of DHEA in the CNS and strongly support a central role for the androgen receptor in the production of these effects. More broadly, the results may be clinically significant because they provide new insights into processes that appear to mediate the diverse CNS effects attributed to DHEA. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

We are using ion-abrasion scanning electron microscopy (IA-SEM) to visualize this hierarchical organization in an approach that combines focused ion-beam milling with scanning electron microscopy. Here, we extend our previous studies on imaging yeast cells to image subcellular architecture in human melanoma cells and melanocytes at resolutions as high as similar to 6 and similar to 20 nm in the directions parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the direction of ion-beam milling. The 3D images demonstrate the striking spatial relationships between specific organelles such as mitochondria and membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, and the distribution of unique cellular components such as melanosomes. We also show that 10 nm-sized gold particles and quantum dot particles with 7 nm-sized cores can be detected in single cross-sectional images. IA-SEM is thus a useful tool for imaging large mammalian cells in their entirety at resolutions in the nanometer range. Published by Elsevier Inc. C1 [Heymann, Jurgen A.

We analyzed the general principles by which these resections are planned. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients with sarcomas located in the femoral triangle (15), sartorial canal ( 16), and the popliteal fossa (22). These lesions were grouped into three categories based on involvement of spatial structure; neurovascular involvement = 13, musculofascial involvement = 19 and no involvement = 11. Results: Limb sparing Surgery was feasible in lesions that had either 110 Structural or musculofascial involvement. Amputation, however, was required in 3 of 13 patients with neurovascular involvement because of gross involvement of the surrounding tissues. Overall, limb sparing, was feasible in 94% (50 of 53 patients). The 2- and 5-year local recurrence rates were 10% and 14%, respectively. Five-year survival was 88%. Conclusions: Limb sparing resection of space sarcomas is feasible in the majority of extra-compartmental sarcomas by utilizing a systematic approach which emphasizes specific planes of resection. J.

Method: The NCS-A is a national psychiatric epidemiological survey of adolescents aged 13 to 17 years. Results: The NCS-A was designed to provide the first nationally representative estimates of the prevalence, correlates, and patterns of service use for DSM-IV mental disorders among U.S. adolescents and to lay the groundwork for follow-up studies of risk and protective factors, consequences, and early expressions of adult mental disorders. The core NCS-A diagnostic interview, the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview, is a fully structured research diagnostic interview designed for use by trained lay interviewers. A multiconstruct, multimethod, and multi-informant battery was also included to assess risk and protective factors and barriers to service use. Design limitations due to the NCS-A evolving as a supplement to an ongoing survey of mental disorders of U.S. adults include restricted age range of youths, cross-sectional assessment, and lack of full parental/surrogate informant reports on youth mental disorders and correlates. Conclusions: Despite these limitations, the NCS-A contains unparalleled information that can be used to generate national estimates of prevalence and correlates of adolescent mental disorders, risk and protective factors, patterns of service use, and barriers to receiving treatment for these disorders. The retrospective NCS-A data on the development of psychopathology can additionally complement data from longitudinal studies based on more geographically restricted samples and serve as a useful baseline for future prospective studies of the onset and progression of mental disorders in adulthood.

Method: The NCS-A is a nationally representative face-to-face household survey of the prevalence and correlates of DSM-IV mental disorders among U.S. adolescents (aged 13-17 years) that was performed between February 2001 and January 2004 by the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. The sample was based on a dual-frame design that included 904 adolescent residents of the households that participated in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (response rate 85.9%) and 9,244 adolescent students selected from a representative sample of 320 schools in the same nationally representative sample of counties as the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (response rate 74.7%). Results: Comparisons of sample and population distributions on census sociodemographic variables and, in the school sample, school characteristics documented only minor differences that were corrected with poststratification weighting. Comparisons of DSM-IV disorder prevalence estimates among household versus school sample respondents in counties that differed in the use of replacement schools for originally selected schools that refused to participate showed that the use of replacement schools did not introduce bias into prevalence estimates. Conclusions: The NCS-A is a rich nationally representative dataset that will substantially increase understanding of the mental health and well-being of adolescents in the United States. J. Am. Acad.

TI National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A): III. Concordance of DSM-IV/CIDI Diagnoses With Clinical Reassessments SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY LA English DT Article DE National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement; Composite International Diagnostic Interview; mental disorders; epidemiology; validity ID PSYCHIATRIC-ASSESSMENT CAPA; WORLD-HEALTH-ORGANIZATION; DISORDER SEVERITY SCALE; PARENT-CHILD AGREEMENT; INTERVIEW SCHEDULE; MAJOR DEPRESSION; UNITED-STATES; K-SADS; VALIDITY; CIDI AB Objective: To report results of the clinical reappraisal study of lifetime DSM-IV diagnoses based on the fully structured lay-administered World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) Version 3.0 in the U.S. National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A). Method: Blinded clinical reappraisal interviews with a probability subsample of 347 NCS-A respondents were administered using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children (K-SADS) as the gold standard. The DSM-IV/CIDI cases were oversampled, and the clinical reappraisal sample was weighted to adjust for this oversampling. Results: Good aggregate consistency was found between CIDI and K-SADS prevalence estimates, although CIDI estimates were meaningfully higher than K-SADS estimates for specific phobia (51.2%) and oppositional defiant disorder (38.7%). Estimated prevalence of any disorder, in comparison, was only slightly higher in the CIDI than K-SADS (8.3%). Strong individual-level CIDI versus K-SADS concordance was found for most diagnoses. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, a measure of classification accuracy not influenced by prevalence, was 0.88 for any anxiety disorder, 0.89 for any mood disorder, 0.84 for any disruptive behavior disorder, 0.94 for any substance disorder, and 0.87 for any disorder. Although area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was unacceptably low for alcohol dependence and bipolar I and II disorders, these problems were resolved by aggregation with alcohol abuse and bipolar I disorder, respectively. Logistic regression analysis documented that consideration of CIDI symptom-level data significantly improved prediction of some K-SADS diagnoses. Conclusions: These results document that the diagnoses made in the NCS-A based on the CIDI have generally good concordance with blinded clinical diagnoses. J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc.

We test the hypothesis that oppositionality encompasses an Irritable, a Headstrong, and a Hurtful dimension, each with distinct predictions. Method: Longitudinal design combining data from two British national surveys and their respective 3-year follow-ups (N = 7,912). The Developmental and Well-Being Assessment was used to generate DSM-IV diagnoses. Results: The Irritable dimension was the sole predictor of emotional disorders at follow-up and was particularly associated with distress disorders (depression and anxiety) rather than fear disorders (phobias, separation anxiety, and panic disorder), both before and after adjustment for baseline psychopathology. The Headstrong dimension was the only predictor of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder at follow-up. Both Headstrong and Hurtful predicted conduct disorder, although only the Headstrong dimension did so after adjustment for baseline psychopathology. The Hurtful dimension was the strongest predictor of aggressive conduct disorder symptoms. Conclusions: Our data suggest a developmental model of mental disorder whereby oppositionality is an interim shared manifestation of different dimensions of psychopathology with distinct outcomes. J.

TI Personality Traits of Centenarians' Offspring SO JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN GERIATRICS SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE personality; longevity; centenarian; extraversion; neuroticism; agreeableness ID ALL-CAUSE; MORTALITY; LONGEVITY; PREDICTORS AB To determine whether the offspring of centenarians have personality characteristics that are distinct from the general population. Case-control. Nationwide U.S. sample. Unrelated offspring of centenarians (n=246, mean age 75) were compared with published norms. Using the NEO-Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) questionnaire, measures of the personality traits neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were obtained. T-scores and percentiles were calculated according to sex and used to interpret the results. Male and female offspring of centenarians scored in the low range of published norms for neuroticism and in the high range for extraversion. The women also scored comparatively high in agreeableness. Otherwise, both sexes scored within normal range for conscientiousness and openness, and the men scored within normal range for agreeableness. Specific personality traits may be important to the relative successful aging demonstrated by the offspring of centenarians. Similarities across four of the five domains between male and female offspring is noteworthy and may relate to their successful aging. Measures of personality are an important phenotype to include in studies that assess genetic and environmental influences of longevity and successful aging.

The optimal treatment for this condition is controversial. Forty-two patients with LMN participated in a randomized, controlled trial to compare adjunctive immunosuppressive drugs with prednisone alone. Adjunctive regimens included either cyclosporine (CsA) for 11 mo or alternate-month intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide (IVCY) for six doses; the control group received alternate-day prednisone alone. Median proteinuria was 5.4 g/d (range 2.7 to 15.4 g/d). We assessed the primary outcome, time to remission of proteinuria during the 12-mo protocol, by univariate survival analysis. At 1 yr, the cumulative probability of remission was 27% with prednisone, 60% with IVCY, and 83% with CsA. Although both IVCY and CsA were more effective than prednisone in inducing remissions of proteinuria, relapse of nephrotic syndrome occurred significantly more often after completion of CsA than after IVCY. By multivariate survival analysis, treatment with prednisone and high-grade proteinuria (> 5 g/d) but not race or ethnicity were independently associated with a decreased probability of remission. Adverse effects during the 12-mo protocol included insulin-requiring diabetes (one with prednisone and two with CsA), pneumonia (one with prednisone and two with CsA), and localized herpes zoster (two with IVCY). In conclusion, regimens containing CsA or IVCY are each more effective than prednisone alone in inducing remission of proteinuria among patients with LMN.

TI The great contribution: Index Medicus, Index-Catalogue, and IndexCat SO JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LA English DT Article AB Objective: The systematic indexing of medical literature by the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office (now the National Library of Medicine) has been called "America's greatest contribution to medical knowledge.'' In the 1870s, the library launched two indexes: the Index Medicus and the Index-Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office. Index Medicus is better remembered today as the forerunner of MEDLINE, but Index Medicus began as the junior partner of what the library saw as its major publication, the Index-Catalogue. However, the Index-Catalogue had been largely overlooked by many medical librarians until 2004, when the National Library of Medicine released IndexCat, the online version of Index-Catalogue. Access to this huge amount of material raised new questions: What was the coverage of the Index-Catalogue? How did it compare and overlap with the Index Medicus? Method: Over 1,000 randomly generated Index Medicus citations were cross-referenced in IndexCat. Results: Inclusion, form, content, authority control, and subject headings were evaluated, revealing that the relationship between the two publications was neither simple nor static through time. In addition, the authors found interesting anomalies that shed light on how medical literature was selected and indexed in "America's greatest contribution to medical knowledge.''

TI Human Papillomavirus Genotype Distributions: Implications for Vaccination and Cancer Screening in the United States SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID SQUAMOUS-CELL CARCINOMAS; INVASIVE CERVICAL-CANCER; INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA GRADE-2; LINE PROBE ASSAY; UTERINE CERVIX; PARTICLE VACCINE; HPV INFECTION; RISK-FACTORS; BLOT ASSAY; WOMEN AB Limited data are available describing human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distributions in cervical cancer in the United States. Such studies are needed to predict how HPV vaccination and HPV-based screening will influence cervical cancer prevention. We used the New Mexico Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Registry to ascertain cases of in situ (n = 1213) and invasive (n = 808) cervical cancer diagnosed during 1985-1999 and 1980-1999, respectively, in the state of New Mexico. HPV genotyping was performed using two polymerase chain reaction-based methods on paraffin-embedded tissues from in situ and invasive cancers and on cervical Papanicolaou test specimen from control subjects (ie, women aged 18-40 years attending clinics for routine cervical screening [n = 4007]). Relative risks for cervical cancer were estimated, and factors associated with age at cancer diagnosis and the prevalence of HPV genotypes in cancers were examined. The most common HPV genotypes detected in invasive cancers were HPV type 16 (HPV16, 53.2%), HPV18 (13.1%), and HPV45 (6.1%) and those in in situ cancers were HPV16 (56.3%), HPV31 (12.6%), and HPV33 (8.0%). Invasive cancer case subjects who were positive for HPV16 or 18 were diagnosed at younger ages than those who were positive for other carcinogenic HPV genotypes (mean age at diagnosis: 48.1 [95% confidence interval {CI} = 46.6 to 49.6 years], 45.9 [95% CI = 42.9 to 49.0 years], and 52.3 years [95% CI = 50.0 to 54.6 years], respectively). The proportion of HPV16-positive in situ and invasive cancers, but not of HPV18-positive cancers, declined with more recent calendar year of diagnosis, whereas the proportion positive for carcinogenic HPV genotypes other than HPV18 increased. HPV16 and 18 caused the majority of invasive cervical cancer in this population sample of US women, but the proportion attributable to HPV16 declined over the last 20 years. The age at diagnosis of HPV16- and HPV18-related cancers was 5 years earlier than that of cancers caused by carcinogenic HPV genotypes other than HPV16 and 18, suggesting that the age at initiation of cervical screening could be delayed in HPV-vaccinated populations.

TI Total and Cancer Mortality After Supplementation With Vitamins and Minerals: Follow-up of the Linxian General Population Nutrition Intervention Trial SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID PRIMARY LIVER-CANCER; RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED-TRIAL; DISEASE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY; BETA-CAROTENE SUPPLEMENTS; BASE-LINE CHARACTERISTICS; RETINOL EFFICACY TRIAL; GASTRIC-CARDIA CANCER; LUNG-CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE; ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL AB The General Population Nutrition Intervention Trial was a randomized primary esophageal and gastric cancer prevention trial conducted from 1985 to 1991, in which 29 584 adult participants in Linxian, China, were given daily vitamin and mineral supplements. Treatment with "factor D," a combination of 50 mu g selenium, 30 mg vitamin E, and 15 mg beta-carotene, led to decreased mortality from all causes, cancer overall, and gastric cancer. Here, we present 10-year follow-up after the end of active intervention. Participants were assessed by periodic data collection, monthly visits by village health workers, and quarterly review of the Linxian Cancer Registry. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the cumulative effects of four vitamin and mineral supplementation regimens were calculated using adjusted proportional hazards models. Through May 31, 2001, 276 participants were lost to follow-up; 9727 died, including 3242 from cancer (1515 from esophageal cancer and 1199 from gastric cancer). Participants who received factor D had lower overall mortality (HR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.91 to 0.99; P = .009; reduction in cumulative mortality from 33.62% to 32.19%) and gastric cancer mortality (HR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.79 to 1.00; P = .043; reduction in cumulative gastric cancer mortality from 4.28% to 3.84%) than subjects who did not receive factor D. Reductions were mostly attributable to benefits to subjects younger than 55 years. Esophageal cancer deaths between those who did and did not receive factor D were not different overall; however, decreased 17% among participants younger than 55 (HR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.71 to 0.98; P = .025) but increased 14% among those aged 55 years or older (HR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.30; P = .47). Vitamin A and zinc supplementation was associated with increased total and stroke mortality; vitamin C and molybdenum supplementation, with decreased stroke mortality. The beneficial effects of selenium, vitamin E, and beta-carotene on mortality were still evident up to 10 years after the cessation of supplementation and were consistently greater in younger participants. Late effects of other supplementation regimens were also observed. C1 [Taylor, Philip R.] NCI, Genet Epidemiol Branch, Div Canc Epidemiol & Genet, Natl Inst Hlth, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

TI The Impact of Underreported Veterans Affairs Data on National Cancer Statistics: Analysis Using Population-Based SEER Registries SO JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE LA English DT Article ID RATES AB Reduced cancer reporting by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals in 2007 (for patients diagnosed through 2005) impacted the most recent US cancer surveillance data. To quantify the impact of the reduced VA reporting on cancer incidence and trends produced by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, we estimated numbers of missing VA patients in 2005 by sex, age, race, selected cancer sites, and registry and calculated adjustment factors to correct for the 2005 incidence rates and trends. Based on our adjustment factors, we estimated that as a result of the underreporting, the overall cancer burden was underestimated by 1.6% for males and 0.05% for females. For males, the percentage of patients missing ranged from 2.5% for liver cancer to 0.4% for melanoma of the skin. For age-adjusted male overall cancer incidence rates, the adjustment factors were 1.015, 1.012, and 1.035 for all races, white males, and black males, respectively. Modest changes in long-term incidence trends were observed, particularly in black males.

TI Vorinostat (NSC# 701852) in Patients with Relapsed Non-small Cell Lung Cancer A Wisconsin Oncology Network Phase II Study SO JOURNAL OF THORACIC ONCOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Non-small cell lung cancer; Relapsed disease; Histone deacetylase inhibitors; Phase II ID HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS; SUBEROYLANILIDE HYDROXAMIC ACID; CLINICAL-EXPERIENCE; POTENTIAL ROLE; TRIAL; APOPTOSIS; COMBINATION; CARCINOMA; LYMPHOMA; SAHA AB Introduction: Vorinostat is a small molecule inhibitor of historic deacetylase, and has shown preclinical activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Patients with relapsed NSCLC were eligible. Patients received oral vorinostat, 400 mg daily. The primary objective was response rate, with the goal of at least one responder in the first 14 evaluable patients, according to the two-stage minimax design. Secondary objectives included time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), and safety. Results: Sixteen patients enrolled from January 2006 to April 2007. The median age was 59.5 years. Thirteen patients were female. Two patients were not evaluable for response due to progressive disease within Cycle 1. No objective antitumor responses were seen in the 14 evaluable patients. Eight patients experienced stable disease (median 3.7 months, range 1.4-19.4). Median TTP was 2.3 months (range 0.9-19.4 months), median OS was 7.1 months (range 1.4-30.0+ months), and estimated I year OS rate was 19% (SE 10%). One patient died on Study from an acute ischemic stroke; this event was deemed possibly related to treatment. Grade 3/4 adverse events possibly related to vorinostat included neutropenia, lymphopenia, fatigue, pulmonary embolus/deep vein thrombosis, dehydration, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and hypokalemia. Conclusions: No objective antitumor activity was detected with single agent vorinostat in this setting; however, it yields TTP in relapsed NSCLC similar to that of other targeted agents. Further Studies in NSCLC should focus on combining vorinostat with other antitumor agents.

SO JOURNAL OF UROLOGY LA English DT Article DE prostate-specific antigen; early detection of cancer; prostatic neoplasms; aged ID UNITED-STATES; CANCER; MEN; MANAGEMENT AB Purpose: Prostate specific antigen testing is common in the elderly despite evidence that older men without aggressive prostate cancer are unlikely to benefit from diagnosis and treatment. We evaluated the relationship between prostate specific antigen and the risk of aggressive prostate cancer developing in men of various ages. Materials and Methods: This longitudinal cohort study consisted of 849 men (122 with and 727 without prostate cancer) with serial prostate specific antigen measurements participating in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of men by prostate specific antigen and age who died of prostate cancer or in whom aggressive prostate cancer developed (death from prostate cancer, a prostate specific antigen 20 ng/ml or greater, or Gleason score 8 or greater). Results: No participants between 75 and 80 years old with a prostate specific antigen less than 3.0 ng/ml died of prostate cancer. In contrast, men of all ages with a prostate specific antigen of 3.0 ng/ml or greater had a continually increasing probability of death from prostate cancer (Fisher's exact test p <0.001). The time to death or diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer after age 75 years was not significantly different between the prostate specific antigen categories of 3 to 3.9 and 4 to 9.9 ng/ml (p = 0.634), whereas the time to death or diagnosis of high risk prostate cancer was significantly longer for the prostate specific antigen category of less than 3 vs 3 ng/ml or greater (p = 0.019). Conclusions: Men 75 to 80 years old with a prostate specific antigen less than 3 ng/ml are unlikely to die of or experience aggressive prostate cancer during their remaining life, suggesting that prostate specific antigen testing might be safely discontinued for these men.

Methods: The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Health Services Committee (HSC), ASCO Cancer Prevention Committee, and the American Urological Association Practice Guidelines Committee jointly convened a Panel of experts, who used the results from a systematic review of the literature to develop evidence-based recommendations on the use of 5-ARIs for prostate cancer chemoprevention. Results: The systematic review completed for this guideline identified 15 randomized clinical trials that met the inclusion criteria; nine of which reported prostate cancer period prevalence. Conclusion: Asymptomatic men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) <= 3.0 ng/mL who are regularly screened with PSA or are anticipating undergoing annual PSA screening for early detection of prostate cancer may benefit from a discussion of both the benefits of 5-ARIs for 7 years for the prevention of prostate cancer and the potential risks (including the possibility of high-grade prostate cancer). Men who are taking 5-ARIs for benign conditions such as lower urinary tract [obstructive] symptoms (LUTS) may benefit from a similar discussion, understanding that the improvement of LUTS relief should be weighed with the potential risks of high-grade prostate cancer from 5-ARIs (although the majority of the Panel members judged the latter risk to be unlikely). A reduction of approximately 50% in PSA by 12 months is expected in men taking a 5-ARI; however, because these changes in PSA may vary across men, and within individual men over time, the Panel cannot recommend a specific cut point to trigger a biopsy for men taking a 5-ARI. No specific cut point or change in PSA has been prospectively validated in men taking a 5-ARI. C1 [Kramer, Barnett S.] Natl Inst Hlth, Bethesda, MD USA. Amer Soc Clin Oncol, Alexandria, VA USA.

TI Regulatory T Cells Promote Early Influx of CD8(+) T Cells in the Lungs of Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Infected Mice and Diminish Immunodominance Disparities SO JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY LA English DT Article ID RESPONSES; DISEASE; MEMORY; EPITOPE; PATHOGENESIS; DEPLETION; IMMUNITY; INFANTS; ILLNESS; LAVAGE AB In addition to regulating autoimmunity and antitumor immunity, CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) natural regulatory T (Treg) cells are global regulators of adaptive immune responses. Depletion of these cells with the anti-CD25 antibody PC61 prior to primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection was partial but had several effects on the RSV-specific CD8(+) response in a hybrid mouse model. Mediastinal lymph node and spleen epitope-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses were enhanced in Treg-cell-depleted mice at all time points following infection, but responses of Treg-cell-depleted lung show a strikingly different pattern than lymphoid organ responses, with an initial delay in the CD8(+) T-cell response. The delay in the CD8(+) T-cell response correlated with a delay both in the early phase of viral clearance and in illness in Treg-cell-depleted mice compared to isotype-treated controls. The lungs of Treg-cell-depleted mice were shown to have increased lung chemokine and cytokine levels 7 days postinfection despite lower CD8(+) T-cell responses. Following the early delay in the lung response, CD8(+) T-cell responses at later infection time points were enhanced and increased the severity of illness in depleted mice. Finally, decreasing regulatory T-cell control of the CD8(+) T-cell response had a greater effect on response of the dominant K-d-restricted M2 epitope consisting of amino acids 82 to 90 (K(d)M2(82-90)) than on the subdominant (DM187-195)-M-b epitope response, indicating that regulatory T cells modulate immunodominance disparities in epitope-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses following primary RSV infection.

In an HIV-1 preparation selected with APV (33 passages, yielding HIV(APVp33)), we identified six mutations in protease and six apparently critical mutations at cleavage and non-cleavage sites in Gag. An infectious recombinant clone carrying the six protease mutations but no Gag mutations failed to replicate, indicating that the Gag mutations were required for the replication of HIV(APVp33). An infectious recombinant clone that carried wild-type protease and a set of five Gag mutations (rHIV(WTpro)(12/75/219/390/409gag)) replicated comparably to wild-type HIV-1; however, when exposed to APV, rHIV(WTpro)(12/75/219/390/409gag) rapidly acquired APV resistance. In contrast, the five Gag mutations significantly delayed the acquisition of HIV-1 resistance to ritonavir and nelfinavir (NFV). Recombinant HIV-1 clones containing NFV resistance-associated mutations, such as D30N and N88S, had increased susceptibilities to APV, suggesting that antiretroviral regimens including both APV and NFV may bring about favorable antiviral efficacy. The present data suggest that the preexistence of certain Gag mutations related to PI resistance can accelerate the emergence of resistance to the PI and delay the acquisition of HIV resistance to other PIs, and these findings should have clinical relevance in the therapy of HIV-1 infection with PI-including regimens.

The HA protein critically contributes to the exceptionally high pathogenicity of the 1918 influenza virus, but the mechanisms underlying cleavage activation of the 1918 HA have not been characterized. The neuraminidase (NA) protein of the 1918 influenza virus allows trypsin-independent growth in canine kidney cells (MDCK). However, it is at present unknown if the 1918 NA, like the NA of the closely related strain A/WSN/33, facilitates HA cleavage activation by recruiting the proprotease plasminogen. Moreover, it is not known which pulmonary proteases activate the 1918 HA. We provide evidence that NA-dependent, trypsin-independent cleavage activation of the 1918 HA is cell line dependent and most likely plasminogen independent since the 1918 NA failed to recruit plasminogen and neither exogenous plasminogen nor the presence of the A/WSN/33 NA promoted efficient cleavage of the 1918 HA. The transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS4 was found to be expressed in lung tissue and was shown to cleave the 1918 HA. Accordingly, coexpression of the 1918 HA with TMPRSS4 or the previously identified HA-processing protease TMPRSS2 allowed trypsin-independent infection by pseuodotypes bearing the 1918 HA, indicating that these proteases might support 1918 influenza virus spread in the lung. In summary, we show that the previously reported 1918 NA-dependent spread of the 1918 influenza virus is a cell line-dependent phenomenon and is not due to plasminogen recruitment by the 1918 NA. Moreover, we provide evidence that TMPRSS2 and TMPRSS4 activate the 1918 HA by cleavage and therefore may promote viral spread in lung tissue.

The virus encodes a Tax oncoprotein that functions in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle control, and transformation. ATL is a highly virulent cancer that is resistant to chemotherapeutic treatments. To understand this disease better, it is important to comprehend how HTLV-1 promotes cellular growth and survival. Tax activation of NF-kappa B is important for the proliferation and transformation of virus-infected cells. We show here that prolyl isomerase Pin1 is over expressed in HTLV-1 cell lines; Pin1 binds Tax and regulates Tax-induced NF-kappa B activation.

Intravenous (i.v.) inoculation of a 1-ml aliquot of diluted ramp-up-stage plasma containing 20 vRNA copies infected 2 of 2 rhesus macaques, while for the set-point-stage plasma, i.v. inoculation with 1,500 vRNA copies was needed to transmit infection. Further, when the heat-inactivated set-point-stage plasma pool was mixed with ramp-up-stage virions, infection of inoculated macaques was blocked. Notably, 2 of 2 animals inoculated with 85 ml of a pre-ramp-up plasma pool containing < 3 SIV RNA copies/ml developed SIV infections characterized by high levels of viral replication, demonstrating that "vRNA-negative" plasma collected from macaques in the pre-ramp-up stage is infectious. Furthermore, there is a high ratio of infectious virions to total virions in ramp-up-stage plasma (between 1: 1 and 1: 10) and a lower ratio in set-point-stage plasma (between 1: 75 and 1: 750). Heat-inactivated chronic-stage plasma can "neutralize" the highly infectious ramp-up-stage virions. These findings have implications for the understanding of the natural history of SIV and human immunodeficiency virus infection and transmission.

Methods: 1994 Diethylstilbestrol-Adenosis (DESAD) cohort data are used to assess the degree of recommended compliance of breast cancer screenings found in 3140 DES-exposed and 826 unexposed women. Participants were enrolled at four sites: Houston, Boston, Rochester, and Los Angeles. Logistic regression modeling was used to analyze mailed questionnaire data that included reported frequency over the preceding 5 years (1990-1994) of breast-self examinations (BSEs), clinical breast examinations (CBEs), and mammograms. Results: DES-exposed women exceeded annual recommendations for CBEs (aOR 2.20, 95% CI, 1.04-4.67) among women without a history of benign breast disease (BBD) compared with unexposed women. There were no other statistically significant differences between exposed and unexposed women who reported performing BSEs, CBEs(<40 years of age), and mammographies, regardless of BBD history. Conclusions: The majority of DES-exposed women receive breast cancer screenings at least at recommended intervals, but over two thirds do not perform monthly BSEs. Future efforts should be focused on further educating this and other at-risk populations through mailed reminders and during patient consultations on the benefits of screening examinations.

The study objective was to evaluate whether multiple- or high-dose CNS medication use in older adults was associated with a higher risk of recurrent (>= 2) falls. This longitudinal cohort study included 3,055 participants from the Health, Aging and Body Composition study who were well functioning at baseline. CNS medication use (benzodiazepine and opioid receptor agonists, antipsychotics, antidepressants) was determined annually (except Year 4) during in-person interviews. The number and summated standard daily doses (SDDs; low, medium, and high) of CNS medications were computed. Falls 1 year later were ascertained annually for 5 years. For a period of 5 years, as many as 24.1% of CNS medication users took 2+ agents annually, whereas as no more than 18.9% of CNS medication users took high doses annually (3+ SDDs). Yearly, as many as 9.7% of participants reported recurrent falls. Multivariable Generalized Estimating Equation analyses showed that multiple CNS medication users compared with never users had an increased risk of sustaining 2+ falls (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-2.81). Those taking high (3+) CNS SDDs also exhibited an increased risk of 2+ falls (adjusted OR 2.89; 95% CI 1.96-4.25). Higher total daily doses of CNS medications were associated with recurrent falls. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of reducing the number of CNS medications and/or dosage on recurrent falls.

TI Polymorphisms in the non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) are strongly associated with end-stage renal disease historically attributed to hypertension in African Americans SO KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article DE African American; end-stage renal disease; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; hypertension; hypertensive nephrosclerosis; MYH9 ID FOCAL SEGMENTAL GLOMERULOSCLEROSIS; CHRONIC KIDNEY-DISEASE; BLOOD-PRESSURE; NEPHROSCLEROSIS; TRIAL; RISK; POPULATION; MUTATIONS; ADMIXTURE; MEN AB African Americans have high incidence rates of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) labeled as due to hypertension. As recent studies showed strong association with idiopathic and HIV-related focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) gene polymorphisms in this ethnic group, we tested for MYH9 associations in a variety of kidney diseases. Fifteen MYH9 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were evaluated in 175 African Americans with chronic glomerulonephritis-associated ESRD, 696 African Americans reportedly with hypertension-associated ESRD, and 948 control subjects without kidney disease. Significant associations were detected with 14 of the 15 polymorphisms in all 871 non-diabetic patients with ESRD. In hypertension-associated ESRD cases alone, significant associations were found with 13 MYH9 polymorphisms and the previously reported E1 haplotype. Thus, hypertension-associated ESRD in African Americans is substantially related to MYH9 gene polymorphisms and this may explain the poor response to blood pressure control in those diagnosed with hypertensive nephrosclerosis. It is possible that many African Americans classified as having hypertension-associated ESRD have occult MYH9-associated segmental or global glomerulosclerosis. Our study shows that gene-environment and/or gene-gene interactions may initiate kidney disease in genetically susceptible individuals, because African Americans homozygous for MYH9 risk alleles do not universally develop kidney disease.

The regimen consisted of cytarabine 100 mg/m(2)/day continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion on days 1-7, daunorubicin 60 mg/m(2)/day i.v. push x 3 on days 6-8 and tipifarnib twice daily on days 6-15. Tipifarnib was escalated over four dose levels (200, 300, 400 and 600 mg). Patients achieving complete response (CR) were eligible to receive one consolidation using the same regimen. The following dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were identified during induction: dose level I: 2/6 (hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory arrest), level II: 0/3, level III: 0/3 and level IV: 4/10 (one each of diarrhea, neutropenic enterocolitis, arrhythmia and delayed hematologic recovery post-consolidation). There were no DLTs due to delayed hematologic recovery post-induction. Of 22 evaluable patients, there were 10 CR, 2 morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS), 2 partial remission (PR) and 8 non-responders. Of seven patients with adverse risk cytogenetics, there were four CR/MLFS and one PR. In summary, this regimen was well tolerated and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached, although somewhat more severe gastrointestinal toxicity was seen at dose level IV. Tipifarnib 600 mg b.i.d. is considered the recommended dose for further study using this regimen. C1 [Brandwein, J. M.; Schimmer, A. D.; Schuh, A. C.; Gupta, V.; Yee, K. W.

The proposed method utilizes the relatively long T-2 relaxation of SPIO-labeled cells and acquires a series of spin echo images with the readout echo shifted to sample the T-2* decay curve. MRI experiments in phantoms and rats with SPIO-labeled tumors demonstrated that it can detect ultrashort T-2* down to 1 ms or less. The measured T-2* values were about 10% higher than those from the ultrashort TE (LITE) technique. The shorter the TE, the less the measurements deviated from the UTE T-2* mapping. Combined with the regular T-2* mapping, this technique is expected to provide quantitation of highly concentrated iron-labeled cells from direct cell transplantation. Magn Reson Med 61:761-766, 2009.

Here, water compartments in normal and trypsin-degraded bovine nasal cartilage were identified using a nonnegative least squares multiexponential analysis of T-2 relaxation. Three components were detected: T-2,T-1 = 2.3 ms, T-2,T-2 = 25.2 ms, and T-2,T-3 = 96.3 ms, with fractions w(1) = 6.2%, w(2) = 14.5%, and w(3) = 79.3%, respectively. Trypsinization resulted in increased (P < 0.01) values of T-2,T-2 = 64.2 ms and T-2,T-3 = 149.4 ms, supporting their assignment to water compartments that are bound and loosely associated with PG, respectively. The T-2 of the rapidly relaxing component was not altered by digestion, supporting assignment to relatively immobile collagen-bound water. Relaxation data were simulated for a range of TE, number of echoes, and SNR to guide selection of acquisition parameters and assess the accuracy and precision of experimental results. Based on this, the expected experimental accuracy of measured T(2)s and associated weights was within 2% and 4% respectively, with precision within 1% and 3%. These results demonstrate the potential of multiexponential T-2 analysis to increase the specificity of MR characterization of cartilage. Magn Reson Med 61:803-809, 2009. (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Delay time for a full magnetization recovery is not required in the sequence, saving acquisition time significantly for high-resolution T-1 mapping. Imaging parameters of the IR LL-EPI SS sequence were optimized to minimize the bias from the excitation pulses imperfection and to maximize the accuracy and reliability of T-1 measurements, which are critical for its applications. Compared with the conventional inversion recovery Look-Locker echo-planar imaging (IR LL-EPI) sequence, IR LL-EPI SS method preserves similar accuracy and reliability, while saving 20% in acquisition time.

Modifiers in the genetic background affect the severity of the disease and we have previously mapped two modifier loci, Nstr1 and Nstr2, that influence resistance to PNSTs in the Nf1-/+;Trp53-/+cis mouse model of NF1. We report here the analysis of Nstr1 in isolation from other epistatic loci using a chromosome substitution strain, and further show that a modifier locus (or loci) on chromosome 19 influences resistance to both PNSTs and astrocytomas. This modifier locus interacts with sex, resulting in sex-specific modification of tumors. Allele variability on chromosome 19 affects both the timing and the penetrance of the growth of different tumor types associated with NF1, specifically PNSTs and astrocytoma. These results indicate that modifiers of cancer susceptibility interact and affect tumorigenesis under different genetic conditions and demonstrate the power of chromosome substitution strains to study genetic modifiers.

Because epidemiologic studies usually rely on reported history of previous breastfeeding, data on the accuracy and precision of recalled histories allow improved interpretation of the epidemiologic findings. We evaluated the reliability of two reported breastfeeding durations in 567 reproductive-aged women from Mexico using information obtained from nearly identical sets of questions applied at different times after weaning. We compared differences between reports, and examined the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for any and for exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Logistic regression was used to evaluate the determinants of poor recall (difference between reports of > 20%). The reliability of duration of any breastfeeding was high (ICC 0.94). Overall, differences between reports of duration were usually < 1 month, and for 385/567, the difference was <= 0.5 months. Predictors of poorer recall were having >= 4 children, and time between reports of > 2 months. The only predictor of better recall was greater age of the baby at weaning. The reliability of EBF duration was lower (ICC 0.49). In this population with a relatively long duration of breastfeeding, reliability of any breastfeeding duration was high. Age, education and previous breastfeeding were not important predictors of recall, in contrast to findings in earlier studies. Consistent with previous reports, however, parity and length of recall were associated with poorer recall of duration of any breastfeeding. Future studies that use reported breastfeeding duration may want to consider the effect of these variables on recall.

The method requires an estimate of the generation interval probabilities density function (pdf),which specifies the probabilities for the times between symptom onset in a primary case and symptom onset in a corresponding secondary case. Other methods to estimate R-t are based on explicit models such as the SIR model; therefore, one might expect the WT method to be more robust to departures from SIR type behavior. This paper uses simulated data to compare the quality of daily R-t estimates based on a SIR model to those using the WT method for both structured (classical SIR assumptions are violated) and nonstructured (classical SIR assumptions hold) populations. By using detailed simulations that record the infection day of each new infection and the donor-recipienti dentities, the true R-t and the generation interval pdf is known with negligible error. We find that the generation interval pdf is time dependent in all cases, which agrees with recent results reported else where. We also find that the WT method performs essentially the same in the structured populations (except for a spatial network) as it does in the nonstructured population. And, the WT method does as well or better than a SIR-model based method in three of the four structured populations. Therefore, even if the contact patterns are heterogenous as in the structured populations evaluated here, the WT method provides reasonable estimates of R-t, as does the SIR method.

Using DSPP/biglycan (Dspp(-/-)Bgn(-/0)) and DSPP/decorin (Dspp(-/-)Dcn(-/-)) double knockout mice, here we determined that the enlarged predentin layer in Dspp(-/-) teeth is rescued in the absence of decorin, but not in the absence of biglycan. However, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis reveals similar hypomineralization of dentin in both Dspp(-/-)Bgn(-/0) and Dspp(-/-)Dcn(-/-) teeth. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of collagen fibrils in dentin shows subtle differences in the collagen fibril morphology in these genotypes. The reduction of enlarged predentin in Dspp(-/-)Dcn(-/-) mice suggests that the elevated level of decorin in Dspp(-/-) predentin interferes with the mineralization process at the dentin mineralization front. On the other hand, the lack of DSPP and biglycan leads to the increased number of calcospherites in Dspp(-/-)Bgn(-/0) predentin, suggesting that a failure in coalescence of calcospherites was augmented in Dspp(-/-)Bgn(-/0) teeth as compared to Dspp(-/-) teeth. These findings indicate that normal expression of small leucine rich proteoglycans, such as biglycan and decorin, plays an important role in the highly orchestrated process of dentin mineralization.

Purpose: This study examined the relationship between age and gender with physical activity (PA) and how meeting of PA guidelines (PAGL) is related to socioeconomic status (SES) and sedentary behaviors (SB). Methods: Data were collected from 11-, 13-, and 15-yr-old students in 32 countries participating in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey 2001/2002. A self-completed questionnaire assessed weekly moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and SB for the past 7 d and MVPA for a typical week. SES was assessed using the Family Affluence Scale (FAS). Results: None of the countries averaged enough M7VPA to meet PAGL. The pattern of MVPA across age and gender was consistent among all countries. In all countries, older children were less active when compared with the youngest children; girls were significantly less active than boys were (mean hours per week of MVPA 3.52 +/- 1.88 vs 4.13 +/- 1.95) and were more likely to not meet the PAGL. SES was significantly associated with the amount of reported MVPA. SES and PAGL were not significantly related in seven countries, and a significant decrease in the influence of age was observed in these countries compared with other countries. Conclusions: Levels of MVPA during adolescence showed consistent patterns across countries in relation to age, gender, and social class. The limited effect of age on PA in countries where the influence of social class was less strong suggests the possibility of a moderating effect of context in the development of habits acquired during childhood.

TI Adenoviral expression of human lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in nonhuman primates leads to an antiatherogenic lipoprotein phenotype by increasing high-density lipoprotein and lowering low-density lipoprotein SO METABOLISM-CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL LA English DT Article ID CORONARY-HEART-DISEASE; DOSE-DEPENDENT MANNER; E KNOCKOUT MICE; TRANSGENIC RABBITS; HDL METABOLISM; A-I; LECITHINCHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE; ENHANCED ATHEROSCLEROSIS; PLASMA LECITHIN; LDL RECEPTOR AB Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), it key enzyme in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism, has been proposed to have atheroprotective properties by promoting reverse cholesterol transport. Overexpression of LCAT in various animal models, however, has led to conflicting results Oil its, overall effect on lipoproteins and atherosclerosis. In this study, the effect of overexpression of LCAT in nonhuman primates on lipoprotein metabolism is examined. Human LCAT was expressed with adenovirus in squirrel monkeys (n = 8), resulting on day 4 in a 22-fold increase of LCAT activity (257 +/- 23 vs 5618 +/- 799 nmol mL(-1) h(-1), P <.0001). At its peak, LCAT was found to nearly double the level of HDL cholesterol from baseline (113 +/- 7 vs 260 +/- 24 mg/dL, P <.01). High-density lipoprotein formed after treatment with the adenovirus wits larger in size, as assessed by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) analysis. By kinetic studies, it was determined that there was a decrease in apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I resident time (0.373 +/- 0.027 vs 0.685 +/- 0.045 d(-1), P <.0001) and almost a doubling in the ApoA-I synthetic rate (22 +/- 2 vs 41 +/- 3 mg kg(-1) d(-1), P <.0001), but no overall change in ApoA-I levels. In addition, increased expression of LCAT was associated with a 37% reduction of ApoB levels (12 +/- 1 vs 19 +/- 1 mg/dL, P <.05) due to increased low-density lipoprotein catabolism (fractional catabolic rate = 1.7 +/- 0.1 d(-1) in controls vs 4.2 +/- 0.3 d(-1) in LCAT-treated group, P <.05). In summary, overexpression of I-CAT in nonhuman primates leads to an antiatherogenic lipoprotein profile by increasing HDL cholesterol and lowering ApoB, thus making, LCAT a potential drug target for reducing atherosclerosis.

The viral DNA, made by reverse transcription in the cytoplasm, forms part of a large nucleoprotein complex called the preintegration complex (PIC). The viral integrase protein is the enzyme within the PIC that is responsible for integrating the viral DNA into the host genome. Integrase is tightly associated with the viral DNA within the PIC as demonstrated by functional assays. Integrase protein catalyzes the key DNA cutting and joining steps of integration in vitro with DNA substrates that mimic the ends of the viral DNA. Under most in vitro assay conditions the stringency of the reaction is relaxed; most products result from "half-site" integration in which only one viral DNA end is integrated into one strand of target DNA rather than concerted integration of pairs of DNA as Occurs With PICs and in vivo. Under these relaxed conditions catalysis appears to Occur without formation of the highly stable nucleoprotein complexes that is characteristic of the association of integrase with viral DNA in the PIC. Here we describe methods for the assembly of nucleoprotein complex intermediates in HIV-1 DNA integration from purified HIV-1 integrase and substrates that mimic the viral DNA ends.

Characterization of this new subset, referred to as Th17, has provided exciting new insights into immunoregulation, host defense and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Additionally, the discovery of this T cell subset has offered a fresh look at such concepts as lineage commitment and terminal differentiation. The transcriptional regulatory events and epigenetic modifications that control these processes are diverse and complex, and despite the rapid pace at which data continue to accumulate, many questions remain to be answered. Here we review our current understanding of the signaling pathways, molecular interactions and transcriptional events that lead to Th17 differentiation and effector function, as well as the epigenetic modifications that accompany them.

However, the regulation of premeiotic S phase remains poorly defined in metazoa. Here, we identify the p21(Cip1)/p27(Kip1)/p57(Kip2)-like cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) Dacapo (Dap) as a key regulator of premeiotic S phase and genomic stability during Drosophila oogenesis. In dap(-/-) females, ovarian cysts enter the meiotic cycle with high levels of Cyclin E/cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 2 activity and accumulate DNA damage during the premeiotic S phase. High Cyclin E/Cdk2 activity inhibits the accumulation of the replication-licensing factor Doubleparked/Cdt1 (Dup/Cdt1). Accordingly, we find that dap(-/-) ovarian cysts have low levels of Dup/Cdt1. Moreover, mutations in dup/cdt1 dominantly enhance the dap(-/-) DNA damage phenotype. Importantly, the DNA damage observed in dap(-/-) ovarian cysts is independent of the DNA double-strands breaks that initiate meiotic recombination. Together, our data suggest that the CKI Dap promotes the licensing of DNA replication origins for the premeiotic S phase by restricting Cdk activity in the early meiotic cycle. Finally, we report that dap(-/-) ovarian cysts frequently undergo an extramitotic division before meiotic entry, indicating that Dap influences the timing of the mitotic/meiotic transition.

Endothelial activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, c-jun NH(2)-terminal kinase, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways is central to this process, and thus presents an attractive target for the development of angiogenesis inhibitors. Anthrax lethal toxin (LeTx) has potent catalytic mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibition activity. Preclinical studies showed that LeTx induced potent tumor growth inhibition via the inhibition of xenograft vascularization. However, LeTx receptors and the essential furin-like activating proteases are expressed in many normal tissues, potentially limiting the specificity of LeTx as an antitumor agent. To circumvent nonspecific LeTx activation and simultaneously enhance tumor vascular targeting, a substrate preferably cleaved by the gelatinases class of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) was substituted for the furin LeTx activation site. In vivo efficacy studies showed that this MMP-activated LeTx inhibited tumor xenografts growth via the reduced migration of endothelial cells into the tumor parenchyma. Here we have expanded on these initial findings by showing that this MMP-activated LeTx reduces endothelial proangiogenic MMP expression, thus causing a diminished proteolytic capacity for extracellular matrix remodeling and endothelial differentiation into capillary networks. Additionally, our data suggest that inhibition of the c-jun NH2-terminal kinase and p38, but not extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2, pathways is significant in the antiangiogenic activity of the MMP-activated LeTx. Collectively, these results support the clinical development of the MMP-activated LeTx for the treatment of solid tumors.

To determine whether an oxygen level more consistent with in situ conditions affects their stem cell-like characteristics, we compared GB TSCs grown under conditions of 20% and 7% oxygen. Growing CD133(+) cells sorted from three GB neurosphere cultures at 7% O-2 reduced their doubling time and increased the self-renewal potential as reflected by clonogenicity. Furthermore, at 7% oxygen, the cultures exhibited an enhanced capacity to differentiate along both the glial and neuronal pathways. As compared with 20%, growth at 7% oxygen resulted in an increase in the expression levels of the neural stem cell markers CD133 and nestin as well as the stem cell markers Oct4 and Sox2. In addition, whereas hypoxia inducible factor la was not affected in CD133(+) TSCs grown at 7% O-2, hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha was expressed at higher levels as compared with 20% oxygen. Gene expression profiles generated by microarray analysis revealed that reducing oxygen level to 7% resulted in the up-regulation and down-regulation of a significant number of genes, with more than 140 being commonly affected among the three CD133(+) cultures. Furthermore, Gene Ontology categories up-regulated at 7% oxygen included those associated with stem cells or GB TSCs. Thus, the data presented indicate that growth at the more physiologically relevant oxygen level of 7% enhances the stern cell-like phenotype of CD133(+) GB cells.

Because many laboratories around the world rely on data from the NCI-60 cells, confirmation of their genetic identities represents an essential step in validating results from them. Given the consequences of cell line contamination or misidentification, quality control measures should routinely include DNA fingerprinting. We have, therefore, used standard DNA microsatellite short tandem repeats to profile the NCI-60, and the resulting DNA fingerprints are provided here as a reference. Consistent with previous reports, the fingerprints suggest that several NCI-60 lines have common origins: the melanoma lines MDA-MB-435, MDA-N, and M14; the central nervous system lines U251 and SNB-19; the ovarian lines OVCAR-8 and OVCAR-8/ADR (also called NCI/ADR); and the prostate lines DU-145, DU-145 (ATCC), and RC0.1. Those lines also show that the ability to connect two fingerprints to the same origin is not affected by stable transfection or by the development of multidrug resistance. As expected, DNA fingerprints were not able to distinguish different tissues-of-origin. The fingerprints serve principally as a barcodes.

Cancer vaccines containing the Tin antigen as a single tumor antigen or as a component of a polyvalent vaccine have progressed into phase I and II clinical trials. One major focus of Tn-based vaccines is the treatment of prostate cancer patients. Although expression of the antigen on prostate tumors is a critical prerequisite, previous reports investigating Tn expression in prostate tumors have produced conflicting results. Using a combination of immunohistochemistry and carbohydrate microarray profiling, we show that only 4% to 26% of prostate tumors express the Tn antigen. Based on our results, the majority of prostate cancer patients do not express the appropriate antigen. Therefore, efforts to preselect the subset of prostate cancer patients with Tn-positive tumors or apply Tin vaccines to other cancers with higher rates of antigen expression could significantly improve clinical response rates. Because conflicting information on carbohydrate expression is a general problem for the field, the approach described in this article of analyzing antigen expression with multiple antibodies and using carbohydrate microarray profiles to interpret the results will be useful for the development of other carbohydrate-based cancer vaccines and diagnostics.

However, inbreeding depression has been observed in this population and in the absence of additional immigrants, its long-term viability is questioned. To study the effects of inbreeding and selection on genomic diversity, we performed a genomic scan with approximately 250 microsatellite markers distributed across all autosomes and the X chromosome. We found linkage disequilibrium (LD) that extended up to distances of 50 Mb, exceeding that of most outbreeding species studied thus far. LD was particularly pronounced on the X chromosome. Overall levels of observed genomic heterozygosity did not deviate significantly from simulations based on known population history, giving no support for a general selection for heterozygotes. However, we found evidence supporting balancing selection at a number of loci and also evidence suggesting directional selection at other loci. For markers on chromosome 23, the signal of selection was particularly strong, indicating that purifying selection against deleterious alleles may have occurred even in this very small population. These data suggest that population genomics allows the exploration of the effects of neutral and non-neutral evolution on a finer scale than what has previously been possible.

To facilitate Studies germane to this genetic disorder, we developed two in vitro Pompe models: myotubes derived from cultured primary myoblasts isolated from Pompe (GAA KO) mice, and myotubes derived from primary myoblasts of the same genotype that had been transduced with cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4). This latter model is endowed with extended proliferative capacity. Both models showed extremely large alkalinized, glycogen-filled lysosomes as well as impaired trafficking to lysosomes. Although both Pompe tissue culture models were derived from fast muscles and were fast myosin positive, they strongly resemble slow fibers in terms of their pathologic phenotype and their response to therapy with recombinant human GAA (rhGAA). Autophagic buildup, a hallmark of Pompe disease in fast muscle fibers, was absent, but basal autophagy was functional. To evaluate substrate deprivation as a strategy to Prevent the accumulation of lysosomal glycogen, we knocked down Atg7, a gene essential for autophagosome formation, via siRNA, but we observed no effect on the extent of glycogen accumulation, thus confirming our recent observation in autophagy-deficient Pompe mice [N.

The in vitro Pompe models Should be useful in addressing fundamental questions regarding the pathway of glycogen to the lysosomes and testing panels of small molecules that could affect glycogen biosynthesis or speed delivery of the replacement enzyme to affected lysosomes.

The nuclear transport protein karyopherin alpha 1 (KPNA1) binds to RAG1 upstream of its ubiquitin ligase domain, but this interaction is not required for nuclear localization of RAG1. We found that the isolated ubiquitin ligase domain of RAG1 (amino acids 218-389) promoted ubiquitylation of purified KPNA1. While RAG1 auto-ubiquitylation is dependent on the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme CDC34, ubiquitylation of KPNA1 was best supported by UbcH2/Rad6 and UbcH5a. Ubiquitylation of KPNA1 required the lysine/arginine-rich region spanning RAG1 amino acids 218-263 upstream of the RAG1 ubiquitin ligase domain, but RAG1 was still able to undergo auto-ubiquitylation in this region even in the presence of KPNA1. This is the first putative substrate identified for the RAG1 ubiquitin ligase, and to our knowledge it is the first reported case of ubiquitylation of KPNA1. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC) may mediate these changes. Despite good understanding of the biochemical and biophysical properties, the genetic basis of PSAC activity remains unknown. Functional polymorphisms in laboratory isolates and two mutants generated by in vitro selection implicate a parasite-encoded channel, although parasite-induced modifications of endogenous channels have not been formally excluded. Here, we identified stable differences in furosemide efficacy against PSAC activity induced by HB3 and 3D7A parasites. This difference was apparent in both single PSAC patch-clamp recordings and in sorbitol-mediated osmotic lysis measurements, confirming that Cl(-) and sorbitol are transported by a single-channel type. Examination of 19 progeny from a genetic cross between HB3 and 3D7A revealed complex inheritance with some cloned progeny exhibiting furosemide affinities outside the range of parental values. Isolates generated by selfing of the 3D7A clone also exhibited altered furosemide affinities, implicating changes in one or more alleles during meiosis or passage through a primate host. PSAC may be encoded by multiple parasite genes (e.g. a multi-gene family or multiple genes that encode distinct channel subunits) or a single polymorphic gene under strong selective pressure.

Despite extensive studies, the fundamental control mechanisms that regulate intracellular Ca(2+) movement remain enigmatic. We have found recently that activation of the (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase markedly potentiates intracellular Ca(2+) transients and contractility of rat heart cells. Little is known about the pathway responsible for the activation of the (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase-initiated Ca(2+) signaling. Here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism in which activation of the (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase is coupled to increased L-type Ca(2+) channel function through a signaling cascade involving Src and ERK1/2 but not well established regulators of the channel, such as adrenergic receptor system or activation of PKA or CaMKII. We have also identified Ser(1928), a phosphorylation site for the alpha 1 subunit of the L-type Ca(2+) channel that may participate in the activation of the (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase-mediated Ca(2+) signaling. The findings reported here uncover a novel molecular cross-talk between activation of the (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase and L-type Ca(2+) channel and provide new insights into Ca(2+) signaling mechanisms for deeper understanding of the nature of cellular Ca(2+) handling in heart.

Aoyama, Toshifumi TI Bezafibrate at Clinically Relevant Doses Decreases Serum/Liver Triglycerides via Down-Regulation of Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein-1c in Mice: A Novel Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha-Independent Mechanism SO MOLECULAR PHARMACOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PPAR-ALPHA; SECONDARY PREVENTION; OXYSTEROL RECEPTORS; X-RECEPTOR; LXR-ALPHA; LIVER; CHOLESTEROL; GENE; HEPATOCARCINOGENESIS; DEHYDROGENASE AB The triglyceride-lowering effect of bezafibrate in humans has been attributed to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha activation based on results from rodent studies. However, the bezafibrate dosages used in conventional rodent experiments are typically higher than those in clinical use (>= 50 versus <= 10 mg/kg/day), and thus it remains unclear whether such data can be translated to humans. Furthermore, because bezafibrate is a pan-PPAR activator, the actual contribution of PPAR alpha to its triglyceride-lowering properties remains undetermined. To address these issues, bezafibrate at clinically relevant doses (10 mg/kg/day; low) was administered to wild-type and Ppara-null mice, and its effects were compared with those from conventionally used doses (100 mg/kg/day; high). Pharmacokinetic analyses showed that maximum plasma concentration and area under the concentration-time curve in bezafibrate-treated mice were similar to those in humans at low doses, but not at high doses. Low-dose bezafibrate decreased serum/liver triglycerides in a PPAR alpha-independent manner by attenuation of hepatic lipogenesis and triglyceride secretion. It is noteworthy that instead of PPAR activation, down-regulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)-1c was observed in mice undergoing low-dose treatment. High-dose bezafibrate decreased serum/liver triglycerides by enhancement of hepatic fatty acid uptake and beta-oxidation via PPAR alpha activation, as expected. In conclusion, clinically relevant doses of bezafibrate exert a triglyceride-lowering effect by suppression of the SREBP-1c-regulated pathway in mice and not by PPAR alpha activation. Our results may provide novel information about the pharmacological mechanism of bezafibrate action and new insights into the treatment of disorders involving SREBP-1c.

Here, we present a genome-wide copy number variant (CNV) survey of 1001 cases and 1034 controls using the Affymetrix single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) 6.0 SNP and CNV platform. Singleton deletions ( deletions that appear only once in the dataset) more than 100 kb in length are present in 16.2% of BD cases in contrast to 12.3% of controls ( permutation P = 0.007). This effect was more pronounced for age at onset of mania <= 18 years old. Our results strongly suggest that BD can result from the effects of multiple rare structural variants.

The mood stabilizers lithium and valproate activate the ERK pathway in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus and potentiate ERK pathway-mediated neurite growth, neuronal survival and hippocampal neurogenesis. Here, we examined the role of the ERK pathway in behavioral plasticity related to facets of bipolar disorder. Mice with ERK1 ablation acquired reduced phosphorylation of RSK1, an ERK substrate, in prefrontal cortex and striatum, but not in hippocampus or cerebellum, indicating the ablation-induced brain region-specific ERK signaling deficits. ERK1 ablation produced a behavioral excitement profile similar to that induced by psychostimulants. The profile is characterized by hyperactivity, enhanced goal-directed activity and increased pleasure-related activity with potential harmful consequence. ERK1-ablated mice were hyperactive in multiple tests and resistant to behavioral despair in the forced swim test. These mice displayed more home-cage voluntary wheel running activities, rearings in a large arena and open-arm visits in an elevated plus maze. Treatments with valproate and olanzapine, but not lithium reduced baseline activities in ERK1-ablated mice. All three treatments attenuated amphetamine-induced hyperactivity in ablated mice. These data indicate a profound involvement of ERK1 signaling in behavioral excitement and in the behavioral action of antimanic agents. The extent to which ERK pathway perturbation contributes to the susceptibility, mood switch mechanism(s) and symptom pathophysiology of bipolar disorder requires further investigation. Whether there is a shared mechanism through which mood stabilizers produce their clinical actions on mood, thought and behavioral symptoms of mania also requires further investigation. C1 [Engel, S.

For the pulmonary field, nanotechnology promises better delivery of drugs and nucleic acid-based therapeutics to disease sites. Administration of therapeutics via inhalation provides the opportunity for direct delivery to the lung epithelium, the lining of the respiratory tract. By appropriate selection of particle size, deep lung delivery can be obtained with control of phagocytic uptake, the removal of particles by resident macrophages. Nanotechnology can also help in pulmonary therapies administered by intravenous and oral routes through targeting specific cell types and controlling bioavailability and release kinetics. In the hematology field, nanotechnology can counter multiple drug resistance in leukemia by blocking drug efflux from cancer cells, and provide effective delivery of siRNA into lymphocytes to block apoptosis in sepsis. Controlling the surface properties of materials on devices such as valves and stents promises improved biocompatibility by inhibition of thrombosis, the formation of blood clots, and regulating cell adhesion and activation. Nanoparticle-based thrombolytic agents have the potential to improve the effectiveness of clot removal. Treatment of both lung and blood diseases is also likely to benefit from nano-scaffold-based methods for controlling the differentiation and proliferation of stem and progenitor cells.

Here we report that espin 1, an ankyrin repeat-containing isoform of espin(6), colocalizes with myosin IIIa at stereocilia tips and interacts with a unique conserved domain of myosin IIIa. We show that combined overexpression of these proteins causes greater elongation of stereocilia, compared with overexpression of either myosin IIIa alone or espin 1 alone. When these two proteins were co-expressed in the fibroblast-like COS-7 cell line they induced a tenfold elongation of filopodia. This extraordinary filopodia elongation results from the transport of espin 1 to the plus ends of F-actin by myosin IIIa and depends on espin 1 WH2 activity. This study provides the basis for understanding the role of myosin IIIa and espin 1 in regulating stereocilia length, and presents a physiological example where myosins can boost elongation of actin protrusions by transporting actin regulatory factors to the plus ends of actin filaments.

TI HIV-1 and microvesicles from T cells share a common glycome, arguing for a common origin SO NATURE CHEMICAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID IMMUNODEFICIENCY-VIRUS TYPE-1; IMMUNOAFFINITY DEPLETION; LECTIN MICROARRAY; BINDING-PROTEINS; PLASMA-MEMBRANE; INFECTIVITY; GLYCANS; MACROPHAGES; RECOGNITION; GALECTIN-1 AB HIV-1 is a master at deceiving the immune system and usurping host biosynthetic machinery. Although HIV-1 is coated with host-derived glycoproteins, only glycosylation of viral gp120 has been described. Here we use lectin microarray technology to analyze the glycome of intact HIV-1 virions. We show that the glycan coat of human T cell line-derived HIV-1 matches that of native immunomodulatory microvesicles. The carbohydrate composition of both virus and microvesicles is cell-line dependent, which suggests a mechanism to rapidly camouflage the virus within the host. In addition, binding of both virus and microvesicles to antiviral lectins is enriched over the host cell, raising concern about targeting these glycans for therapeutics. This work also sheds light on the binding of HIV-1 to galectin-1, an important human immune lectin. Overall, our work strongly supports the theory that HIV-1 co-opts the exocytic pathway of microvesicles, thus potentially explaining why eliciting a protective antiviral immune response is difficult.

We conducted a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies in 13,685 individuals of European ancestry from the Framingham Heart Study, the Rotterdam Study and the Cardiovascular Health Study, as part of the QTGEN consortium. We observed associations at P < 5 x 10(-8) with variants in NOS1AP, KCNQ1, KCNE1, KCNH2 and SCN5A, known to be involved in myocardial repolarization and mendelian long-QT syndromes. Associations were found at five newly identified loci, including 16q21 near NDRG4 and GINS3, 6q22 near PLN, 1p36 near RNF207, 16p13 near LITAF and 17q12 near LIG3 and RFFL. Collectively, the 14 independent variants at these 10 loci explain 5.4-6.5% of the variation in QT interval. These results, together with an accompanying paper, offer insights into myocardial repolarization and suggest candidate genes that could predispose to sudden cardiac death and drug-induced arrhythmias.

A common variant in NOS1AP is known to influence repolarization. We analyze genome-wide data from five population-based cohorts (ARIC, KORA, SardiNIA, GenNOVA and HNR) with a total of 15,842 individuals of European ancestry, to confirm the NOS1AP association and identify nine additional loci at P < 5 x 10(-8). Four loci map near the monogenic long-QT syndrome genes KCNQ1, KCNH2, SCN5A and KCNJ2. Two other loci include ATP1B1 and PLN, genes with established electrophysiological function, whereas three map to RNF207, near LITAF and within NDRG4-GINS3-SETD6-CNOT1, respectively, all of which have not previously been implicated in cardiac electrophysiology. These results, together with an accompanying paper from the QTGEN consortium, identify new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias and SCD.

However, these intersections represent only the tip of the iceberg. Emerging global analytical methods are providing an even richer and more complete picture of the many components that measurably interact in a network manner to produce cellular responses. Here we highlight the pieces in this Focus, emphasize the limitations of the present canonical pathway paradigm, and discuss the value of a systems biology approach using more global, quantitative experimental design and data analysis strategies. Lastly, we urge caution about overly facile interpretation of genome-and proteome-level studies. C1 [Fraser, Iain D. C.] NIAID, Mol & Cell Biol Grp, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

At present, eight kinase inhibitors have been approved in the United States, each of which shows nanomolar potency. Although the initial goal was to generate inhibitors with a high degree of selectivity, recent experience has revealed that many of these approved compounds target more than one kinase. Surprisingly, this promiscuity is less problematic than one would have imagined; indeed, it opens new therapeutic opportunities. In this Perspective, we discuss the present status of Janus kinase inhibitors-a new class of immunosuppressive drugs-and the advantages and disadvantages of selectively inhibiting this class of kinase.

Here we found after viral infection or immunization, inflammatory monocytes were recruited into lymph nodes directly from the blood to become CD11c(+) CD11b(hi)Gr-1(+) inflammatory DCs, which produced abundant interleukin 12p70 and potently stimulated T(H)1 responses. This monocyte extravasation required the chemokine receptor CCR2 but not the chemokine CCL2 or receptor CCR7. Thus, the accumulation of inflammatory DCs and T(H)1 responses were much lower in Ccr2(-/-) mice, were preserved in Ccl2(-/-) mice and were relatively higher in CCL19-CCL21-Ser-deficient plt mutant mice, in which all other lymph node DC types were fewer in number. We conclude that blood-derived inflammatory DCs are important in the development of T(H)1 immune responses.

TI House dust mite allergen induces asthma via Toll-like receptor 4 triggering of airway structural cells SO NATURE MEDICINE LA English DT Article ID THYMIC STROMAL LYMPHOPOIETIN; DENDRITIC CELLS; EPITHELIAL-CELLS; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; INHALED ENDOTOXIN; TYPE-2 RESPONSES; TH2 RESPONSES; LYMPH-NODES; T-CELLS; INFLAMMATION AB Barrier epithelial cells and airway dendritic cells (DCs) make up the first line of defense against inhaled substances such as house dust mite (HDM) allergen and endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS). We hypothesized that these cells need to communicate with each other to cause allergic disease. We show in irradiated chimeric mice that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression on radioresistant lung structural cells, but not on DCs, is necessary and sufficient for DC activation in the lung and for priming of effector T helper responses to HDM. TLR4 triggering on structural cells caused production of the innate proallergic cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-25 and interleukin-33. The absence of TLR4 on structural cells, but not on hematopoietic cells, abolished HDM-driven allergic airway inflammation. Finally, inhalation of a TLR4 antagonist to target exposed epithelial cells suppressed the salient features of asthma, including bronchial hyperreactivity. Our data identify an innate immune function of airway epithelial cells that drives allergic inflammation via activation of mucosal DCs.

TI VEGF inhibitors in the treatment of cerebral edema in patients with brain cancer SO NATURE REVIEWS CLINICAL ONCOLOGY LA English DT Review ID ENDOTHELIAL-GROWTH-FACTOR; VASCULAR-PERMEABILITY FACTOR; APPARENT DIFFUSION-COEFFICIENT; TYROSINE KINASE INHIBITOR; MAGNETIC-RESONANCE; TUMOR ANGIOGENESIS; IN-VIVO; BARRIER PERMEABILITY; PERITUMORAL EDEMA; OVARIAN-CARCINOMA AB Most brain tumors oversecrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which leads to an abnormally permeable tumor vasculature. This hyperpermeability allows fluid to leak from the intravascular space into the brain parenchyma, which causes vasogenic cerebral edema and increased interstitial fluid pressure. increased interstitial fluid pressure has an important role in treatment resistance by contributing to tumor hypoxia and preventing adequate tumor penetration of chemotherapy agents. in addition, edema and the corticosteroids needed to control cerebral edema cause significant morbidity and mortality. Agents that block the VEGF pathway are able to decrease vascular permeability and, thus, cerebral edema, by restoring the abnormal tumor vasculature to a more normal state. Decreasing cerebral edema minimizes the adverse effects of corticosteroids and could improve clinical outcomes. Anti-VEGF agents might also be useful in other cancer-related conditions that increase vascular permeability, such as malignant pleural effusions or ascites.

However, the statistics used during the discovery phase of research (such as odds ratios or p values for association) are not the most appropriate measures for evaluating the predictive value of genetic profiles. We argue that other measures - such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values - are more useful when proposing a genetic profile for risk prediction.

In addition to the progressive depletion and dysfunction of CD4(+) T cells, HIV infection also leads to extensive defects in the humoral arm of the immune system. The lack of immune control of the virus in almost all infected individuals is a great impediment to the treatment of HIV-associated disease and to the development of a successful HIV vaccine.

Detailed molecular, biochemical and genetic analyses have outlined the molecular framework involved in cellular DNA-repair pathways, but recent cell-biological approaches have revealed important roles for the spatial and temporal organization of the DNA-repair machinery during the recognition of DNA lesions and the assembly of repair complexes. It has also become clear that local higher-order chromatin structure, chromatin dynamics and non-random global genome organization are key factors in genome maintenance. These cell-biological features of DNA repair illustrate an emerging role for nuclear architecture in multiple aspects of genome maintenance. C1 [Misteli, Tom] NCI, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Recently, it has become clear that endosomes have key roles in such diverse processes as cytokinesis, polarization and migration, in which their functions might be distinct from those classically associated with endosomes. We speculate that endosomes function as multifunctional platforms on which unique sets of molecular machines are assembled to suit different cellular roles.

Many men with localized disease wish to avoid the adverse effects of whole-gland therapy; therefore, focal therapy for prostate cancer is being considered as a treatment option. For focal treatment to be viable, accurate imaging is required for diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of treatment. Developments in MRI and PET have brought more attention to prostate imaging and the possibility of improving the accuracy of focal therapy. in this review, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of conventional methods for imaging the prostate, new developments for targeted imaging, and the possible role of image-guided biopsy and therapy for localized prostate cancer.

Although the mechanism by which La binds pre-tRNA 3' trailers is known, the function of the RNA binding beta-sheet surface of the RNA-recognition motif (RRM1) is unknown. How La dissociates from UUU-3'OH-containing trailers after 3' processing is also unknown. Here we show that La preferentially binds pre-tRNAs over processed tRNAs or 3' trailer products through coupled use of two sites: one on the La motif and another on the RRM1 beta-surface that binds elsewhere on tRNA. Two sites provide stable pre-tRNA binding, whereas the processed tRNA and 3' trailer are released from their single sites relatively fast. RRM1 loop-3 mutations decrease affinity for pre-tRNA and tRNA, but not for the UUU-3'OH trailer, and impair tRNA maturation in vivo. We propose that RRM1 functions in activities that are more complex than UUU-3'OH binding. Accordingly, the RRM1 mutations also impair an RNA chaperone activity of La. The results suggest how La distinguishes precursor from product RNAs, allowing it to recycle onto a new pre-tRNA.

In this paper, we assessed the specificity of muscarinic receptor (MR) antibodies in immunohistochemical labelling on tissue sections by analysing specimens from wild-type and respective gene-deficient mice. Of 24 antibodies evaluated in this study, 16 were tested at 18 different conditions each, and eight of them in 21 different protocols, resulting in a total number of 456 antibody/protocol combinations. Each of them was tested at four antibody dilutions at minimum, so that finally, at least 1,824 conditions were evaluated. For each of them, dorsal root ganglia, urinary bladder and cross-sections through all thoracic viscera were investigated. In all cases where the antigen was available, at least one incubation condition was identified in which only select cell types were immunolabelled in the positive control but remained unlabelled in the pre-absorption control. With two exceptions (M2R antibodies), however, all antibodies produced identical immunohistochemical labelling patterns in tissues taken from corresponding gene-deficient mice even when the pre-absorption control in wild-type mice suggested specificity. Hence, the present data demonstrate the unpleasant fact that reliable immunohistochemical localisation of MR subtypes with antibodies is the exception rather than the rule. Immunohistochemical detection of MR subtype localisation in tissue sections of peripheral organs is limited to the M2R subtype utilising the most commonly used methodological approaches.

Detection of subjects with early chronic kidney disease (CKD) is important because some will progress up to stage 5 CKD, and most are at high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While validity and precision of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in tracking true GFR have been repeatedly investigated, their prognostic performance for mortality has not been hitherto compared. This is especially relevant in an elderly population in whom the risk of death is far more common than progression. Methods. We analysed data of participants in the InCHIANTI study, a community-based cohort study of older adults. Twenty-four-hour creatinine clearance (Ccr), Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)-derived equations (six and four input variables) were calculated at enrolment (1998-2000), and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were prospectively ascertained by Cox regression over a 6-year follow-up. Results. Of the 1270 participants, 942 (mean age 75 years) had complete data for this study. The mean renal function ranged from 77 ml/min/1.73 m(2) by Ccr to 64 ml/min/1.73 m(2) by C-G. Comparisons among equations using K/DOQI staging highlight relevant mismatches, with a prevalence of CKD ranging from 22% (MDRD-4) to 40% (C-G). Reduced renal function was a strong independent predictor of death. In a Cox model-adjusted for demographics, physical activity, comorbidities, proteinuria and inflammatory parameters-participants with Ccr 60-90 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and Ccr <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) were, respectively, 1.70 (95% CI: 1.02-2.83) and 1.91 (95% CI: 1.11-3.29) times more likely to die over the follow-up compared to those with Ccr >90 ml/min/1.73 m(2). For the C-G, the group with values <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) had a significant higher all-cause mortality compared to those with values >90 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (HR 2.59, 95% CI: 1.13-5.91). The classification based on the MDRD formulae did not provide any significant prognostic information. The adjusted risk of all-cause mortality followed a similar pattern when Ccr and estimating equations were introduced as continuous variables or dichotomized as higher or lower than 60 ml/min. C-G was the best prognostic indicator of cardiovascular mortality. Possibly, Ccr and C-G are better prognostic indicators than MDRD-derived equations because they incorporate a stronger effect of age. Conclusions. In a South-European elderly population, the prevalence of CKD is high and varies widely according to the method adopted to estimate GFR. Researchers and clinicians who want to capture the prognostic information on mortality related to kidney function should use the Ccr or C-G formula and not MDRD equations. These results highlight the importance of strategies for early detection and clinical management of CKD in elderly subjects.

The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of oxalate deposits in native and renal allograft biopsies, and its impact on graft function. Methods. The renal biopsy files at The Johns Hopkins University between 2000 and 2006 were searched to identify biopsies with oxalate deposits, determine the density of oxalate deposits in renal graft biopsies, compare graft histology and function between allograft recipients with oxalate in the graft biopsies, and a control group of recipients without oxalate in the graft. Results. Oxalate crystal deposits were observed in 61 of 5160 biopsies of native kidneys, and in 76 of 1621 renal allograft biopsies, with a frequency of 1 and 4%, respectively. Sixty-three (9%) of 680 transplant recipients showed oxalate in graft biopsies obtained within the first year from transplantation, with 1.3 +/- 1.2 average number of oxalate deposits per mm(2) of biopsy tissue. The high oxalate density and decreased renal function were correlated in the first 2 years post-transplant (P = 0.037-0.05). Compared with a control group of 70 kidney graft recipients, the renal function was significantly lower in the oxalate group at 1 year, but not at 2 years post-transplant. High tubulo-interstitial scarring (P < 0.0001) was noted in repeated biopsies in the oxalate group, and was significantly greater than that in the control group (P = 0.027). No significant difference in graft loss was observed between oxalate and control groups, and although mortality was higher in the oxalate group, the difference was not significant. Conclusions. In summary, this study defines the frequency of oxalate deposition in native and allograft kidney biopsies, and suggests its possible negative impact on graft function beyond the early post-transplant period.

It remains unclear whether thyroid dysfunction results from, or contributes to, Alzheimer pathology. We determined whether thyroid function is associated with dementia, specifically AD, and Alzheimer-type neuropathology in a prospective population-based cohort of Japanese-American men. Thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine were available in 665 men aged 71-93 years and dementia-free at baseline (1991), including 143 men who participated in an autopsy sub-study. During a mean follow-up of 4.7 (S.D.: 1.8) years, 106 men developed dementia of whom 74 had AD. Higher total and free thyroxine levels were associated with an increased risk of dementia and AD (age and sex adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) per S.D. increase in free thyroxine: 1.21 (1.04; 1.40) and 1.31 (1.14; 1.51), respectively). In the autopsied sub-sample, higher total thyroxine was associated with higher number of neocortical neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. No associations were found for thyrotropin. Our findings suggest that higher thyroxine levels are present with Alzheimer clinical disease and neuropathology. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

CA Hlth ABC Study TI Estrogen receptor genotype and risk of cognitive impairment in elders: Findings from the Health ABC study SO NEUROBIOLOGY OF AGING LA English DT Article DE Estrogen; Dementia; Genetics; Aging ID ALPHA GENE POLYMORPHISMS; SPORADIC ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; CENTRAL-NERVOUS-SYSTEM; POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN; CAUCASIAN WOMEN; MESSENGER-RNA; HUMAN BRAIN; ASSOCIATION; BETA; ESR1 AB Objective: To determine whether variants in the estrogen receptors 1 (alpha) and 2 (beta) (ESR1 and ESR2) genes are associated with cognitive impairment in non-demented elderly men and women. Background: Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on ESR1 and ESR2 genes have been associated with a range of hormone sensitive diseases such as breast cancer and osteoporosis. Genetic variations in ESR may also influence cognitive aging but are less studied, especially among men. Methods: We studied 2527 participants enrolled in an ongoing prospective study of community-dwelling elders. Four SNPs from ESR1 and four from ESR2 were analyzed. We measured cognitive function with the Modified Mini-Mental Status Examination (3MS) at baseline and biannually cognitive impairment was defined as it decline of live or more points over 4 years. We calculated odds of developing cognitive impairment across SNPS using gender-stratified logistic regression and adjusted analyses for age, education, baseline 3MS score and in addition for race. Results: One thousand three hundred and forty-three women (mean age 73.4) and 1184 men (mean age 73.7) comprised Our cohort. Among women, after multivariate adjustment, two of the ESR1 SNPs (rs8179176, rs9340799) and two of the ESR2 SNPs (rs1256065, rs1256030) were associated with likelihood of developing cognitive impairment., although the association for rs8179176 was of trend level significance. In men, one of the ESR1 SNPs (rs729524) and two of the ESR2 (rs1255998, rs1256030) were associated with cognitive impairment. Further adjustment for race attenuated the results somewhat. There was no association between any ESR SNP and level of bioavailable estradiol but testosterone level did vary among two of the SNPs (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We found that among non-demented Community elders, several SNPs in the ESR1 and ESR2 genes were associated with risk of developing cognitive impairment. These findings suggest that estrogen receptor genetic variants may play it role in cognitive aging. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Up to 40% of patients have a family history of disease demonstrating a large genetic component to its etiology. Linkage to chromosome 9p21 has recently been reported in families with this disorder. We undertook a large scale two-stage linkage disequilibrium mapping approach of this region in the Manchester FTLD cohort. We identified association of ubiquitin associated protein 1 (UBAP1; OR 1.42 95% CI 1.08-1.88, P = 0.013) with FTLD in this cohort and we replicated this finding in an additional two independent cohorts from the Netherlands (OR 1.33 95% CI 1.04-1.69, P = 0.022), the USA (OR 1.4 95% CI 1.02-1.92, P = 0.032) and a forth Spanish cohort approached significant association (OR 1.45 95% CI 0.97-2.17, P = 0.064). However, we failed to replicate in a fifth cohort from London (OR 0.99 95% CI 0.72-1.37, P = 0.989). Quantitative analysis of UBAP1 mRNA extracted from tissue from the Manchester cases demonstrated a significant reduction of expression from the disease-associated haplotype. In addition, we identified a case of familial FTLD that demonstrated colocalisation of UBAP1 and TDP-43 in the neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in the brain of this individual. Our data for the first time identifies UBAP1 as a genetic risk factor for FTLD and suggests a mechanistic relationship between this protein and TDP-43. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We previously observed abundant AT(1)-like binding sites and intense expression of AT(1) immunoreactivity in perikarya of the dorsal root ganglion and ventral horn of the rat spinal cord. We have now examined the receptor in rat sciatic nerve, including the dynamics of its axonal transport. Ligand-binding autoradiography of resting nerve showed "hot spots,, of (125)I-Ang II binding that could be specifically blocked by the AT(1) antagonist, losartan. Immunohistochemistry with an AT(1)-antibody validated by Western blots also showed patches of AT(1)-reactivity in nerve. These patches were localized around large myelinated axons with faint immunoreactivity in their lumens. Sixteen hours after nerve ligation there was no change in the patches or hot spots, but luminal AT(1)-reactivity increased dramatically in a narrow zone immediately above the ligature. With double ligation there was a pronounced accumulation of AT(1) immunoreactivity proximal to the upstream ligature and a very slight accumulation distal to the second ligature. This asymmetric pattern of accumulation, confirmed by quantitative receptor binding auto radiography, probably reflected axonal transport rather than local production of receptor. Retrograde tracing and stereological analysis to determine the source of transported AT(1) indicated that many AT(1)-positive fibers arise in the ventral horn, and a larger number arise in dorsal root ganglia. A corresponding result was obtained with double-label immunohistochemistry of ligated nerve, which showed AT(1) accumulations in both motor and sensory fibers. We conclude that somatic sensory and motor neurons of the rat export substantial quantities of AT(1) into axons, which transport them to the periphery. The physiologic implications of this finding require further investigation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
