The incidence of tumor relapse is particularly high after autologous BMT. Natural killer (NK) cells comprise various subsets that can express inhibitory receptors for MHC class I determinants. We have recently demonstrated that blockade of NW-cell inhibitory receptors can augment antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo. However, breakdown of tolerance and autoreactivity may occur as a result of the inhibition of NK-cell inactivation to self MHC determinants. We have utilized F(ab)2 fragments of monoclonal antibody, 5E6, against Ly49C/I inhibitory receptors, which are expressed on 35% to 60% of NK cells in H2(b) strains of mice and are specific for H2K(b), to investigate the effect of inhibitory-receptor blockade on syngeneic bone marrow cell (BMC) and tumor cell growth. We show that treatment of interleukin 2-activated C57BL/6 (B6, H2(b)) SCID-mouse NK cells with 5E6 F(ab')(2) fragments during 48-hour coculture resulted in autoreactivity against syngeneic BMCs as demonstrated by suppression of myeloid reconstitution on day 14 post-BMT. However, this suppressive effect was transient and normalized by day 21 post-BMT. In contrast, blockade of inhibitory receptors during 24-hour coculture had no adverse effects on myeloid reconstitution after BMT. Furthermore, under the same coculture conditions, NK cell-mediated purging of C 1498 leukemia cells contaminating syngeneic BMCs was more effective with inhibitory-receptor blockade, leading to a significantly higher proportion of animals with long-term survival compared to the control recipients. These results demonstrate that short-term in vitro blockade of inhibitory receptors can augment antitumor activity without long-term inhibitory effects on BMCs and thus may be of potential use in the purging of contaminating tumor cells prior to autologous BMT.

However, both agents can also mediate significant toxicities either when used following lethal TBI or when administered in combination with other agents such as IL-2. In this study, we assessed the effects of anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) and IL-12 in lethally irradiated mice. Acute lethal toxicity was observed following the administration of either 10 mug anti-CD40 MoAb (FGK45) or 0.5 mug of recombinant murine (rm)IL-12 that resulted in 100% mortality of all mice within 4 to 6 days. Histological evaluation revealed destruction of the normal gut architecture in both anti-CD40 MoAb- and rmIL-12-treated mice. Analysis of serum cytokine levels in the lethally irradiated mice receiving anti-CD40 MoAb demonstrated a marked increase of interferon (IFN)-gamma and IL-12 p40, whereas mice receiving rmIL-12 demonstrated a marked increase of IFN-gamma. Lethally irradiated IL-12 p40 knock-out mice were resistant to anti-CD40-induced toxicity, suggesting that the lack of IL-12 p40 with no possibility of making functional IL-12 p70 is key for this toxic reaction. Similarly, lethally irradiated IFN-gamma knock-out mice were completely resistant to rmIL-12-induced toxicity, suggesting that IFN-gamma is a major player in IL-12-mediated toxicity. These results suggest that both anti-CD40 MoAb and rmIL-12 induce an acute fatal toxicity characterized by similar intestinal pathology and mediated in part by IFN-gamma.

A low selenium intake during pregnancy and lactation produced reductions in maternal plasma selenium (33%, p = 0.0001), milk selenium (36%, p = 0.001), and corresponding neonatal plasma selenium (47%, p = 0.008). Thymocytes from neonates receiving low-selenium milk showed an impaired activation in vitro (p = 0.001). The percentages of CD8 cytotoxic T cells (p = 0.03), CD2 T cells (p = 0.09), panB cells (= 0.02), and natural killer cells (p = 0.07) were all decreased in neonates nursed by mothers fed a low-selenium diet. The results indicate that maternal selenium intake impacts neonatal selenium status which in turn influences the neonatal immune system development. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.

We used the smoothed-pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution to model the underlying dynamic autonomic nervous system changes during the intracarotid sodium amobarbital (ISA) or so-called Wada test. The Wada test involves injecting sodium amobarbitol into the internal carotid artery that results in inactivation of cerebral structures supplied by the ipsilateral anterior and middle cerebral arteries. Electrocardiogram (EKG) data were recorded during the entire procedure and the 10 minutes prior to each injection were used as baseline values for that hemisphere. Interbeat-interval time series were created from these data for a 13 year old patient and were examined using a smoothed-pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution. Inspection of these data indicated that sodium amobarbitol injection to either side produced decreased power in the vagally mediated high frequency band (.14-.40 Hz). Importantly, this decrease was greater when the right hemisphere was inactivated as compared to the left. These results are consistent with the known lateralized innervation of the heart such that right-sided autonomic inputs have greater influence on cardiac chronotropy. The present results also revealed the very rapid changes in autonomic control that characterized the inactivation and subsequent recovery of the cerebral hemispheres. These findings confirm the utility of time-frequency analysis in the investigation of cardiac time series. C1 NIA, NIH, Baltimore, MD 21224 USA.

The Fisher information under Type II censoring can also be used to characterize the exponential distribution among the exponentiated exponential family.

We present an efficient statistic for testing the strength of kappa agreement using likelihood scores, and derive asymptotic power and sample size formula. Exact evaluation shows that the score test is generally conservative and more powerful than a method based on a chi-square goodness-of-fit statistic (DONNER and ELIASZIW, 1992, Statistics in Medicine 11, 1511-1519). In particular, when the research question is one directional, the one-sided score test is substantially more powerful and the reduction in sample size is appreciable.

In this paper, a numerical approach is described by which the likelihood ratio test can be calculated for the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem. The approach taken here effectively reduces the number of parameters in the score equations to one by using a recursive formula for the remaining parameters. The resulting single dimensional problem can be solved numerically. The power of the likelihood ratio test is compared by simulation to that of a generalized Wilcoxon test of Brunner and Munzel. The tests have similar power for all alternatives considered when a simulated null distribution is used to generate cutoff values for the tests. The methods are illustrated on data on shoulder pain from a clinical trial. C1 NICHHD, Div Epidemiol Stat & Prevent Res, Biometry & Math Stat Branch, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Calculated log P (Clog P) values were used to evaluate the rank order of hydrophilicity for these analogues. Introducing oxygenated functionalities (delta -hydroxy or bis-beta -ethereal) into 1 gave more hydrophilic compounds, which had good affinity for the receptor. Introducing an amino group or shortening the alkyl side chain was detrimental to CRHR1 affinity. The alcohol 4-[ethyl[2,5,6-trimethyl-7-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d pyrimidin-4-yl]amino]butan-1-ol (3), bearing a terminal hydroxyl group on an N-alkyl side-chain, showed the highest CRHR1 binding affinity among these compounds (K-i=0.68 nM), and is one of the highest affinity CRHR1 ligands known. Compounds 3-5, and 8, which are likely to be less lipophilic than 1, have high CRHR1 affinity and may be valuable probes to further study the CRH system. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of partitioning are deduced from the effects of polymer addition on ion currents through single OmpF channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayer membranes. The equilibrium partition coefficient is inferred from the average reduction of channel conductance in the presence of PEG; rates of polymer exchange between the pore and the bulk are estimated from PEG-induced conductance noise. Partition coefficient as a function of polymer weight is best fitted by a "compressed exponential" with the compression factor of 1.65. This finding demonstrates that PEG partitioning into the OmpF channel pore has sharper dependence on polymer molecular weight than predictions of hard-sphere, random-flight, or scaling models. A 1360-Da polymer separates regimes of partitioning and exclusion. Comparison of its characteristic size with the size of a 2200-Da polymer previously found to separate these regimes for the alpha-toxin shows good agreement with the x-ray structural data for these channels. The PEG-induced conductance noise is compatible with the polymer mobility reduced inside the OmpF pore by an order of magnitude relatively to its value in bulk solution.

VDAC channels were reconstituted into planar phospholipid membranes bathed in 1.0 M NaCl. At a given nucleotide concentration, the average decrease in small-ion channel conductance induced by mononucleotides ATP, ADP, AMP, and UTP and dinucleotides beta- and alpha-NADH, NAD, and NADPH are very close. However, the excess current noise is about seven times higher in the presence of NADPH than in the presence of ATP and is about 40 times higher than in the presence of UTP. The nucleotide-generated low-frequency noise obeys the following sequence: beta-NADPH > beta-NADH = alpha-NADH > ATP > ADP > beta-NAD greater than or equal to AMP > UTP. Measurements of bulk-phase diffusion coefficients and of the effective charge of the nucleotides in 1.0 M NaCl suggest that differences in size and charge cannot be the major factors responsible for the ability to generate current noise. Thus, although the ability of nucleotides to partition into the channel's pore, as assessed by the reduction in conductance, is very similar, the ability to generate current noise involves a detailed recognition of the three-dimensional structure of the nucleotide by the VDAC channel. A possible mechanism for this selectivity is two noise-generating processes operating in parallel. C1 Univ Maryland, Dept Biol, College Pk, MD 20742 USA.

When isolated in vitro, this network spontaneously generates an inspiratory-related motor rhythm, with stable amplitude from cycle to cycle. We show that progressively elevating neuronal excitability in vitro causes periodic modulation of this inspiratory rhythm, evoking (in order): mixed-mode oscillations, quasiperiodicity, and ultimately disorganized aperiodic activity. Thus, the respiratory network oscillator follows a well defined sequence of behavioral states characterized by dynamical systems theory, which includes discrete stages of periodic and quasiperiodic amplitude modulation and progresses (according to theory) to aperiodic chaos-like behavior. We also observed periodic, mixed-mode periodic, and quasiperiodic breathing patterns in neonatal rodents and human infants in vivo, suggesting that breathing patterns generated by the intact nervous system reflect deterministic neural activity patterns in the underlying rhythm-generating network.

Since tubulin is the subunit protein of microtubules, the compounds are usually potently toxic to mammalian cells. Without exception, these (depsi)peptides disrupt cellular microtubules and prevent spindle formation. This causes cells to accumulate at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle through inhibition of mitosis. In biochemical assays, the compounds inhibit microtubule assembly from tubulin and suppress microtubule dynamics at low concentrations. Most of the (depsi)peptides inhibit the binding of Catharanthus alkaloids to tubulin in a noncompetitive manner, GTP hydrolysis by tubulin, and nucleotide turnover at the exchangeable GTP site on beta-tubulin. In general, the (depsi)peptides induce the formation of tubulin oligomers of aberrant morphology. In all cases tubulin rings appear to be formed, but these rings differ in diameter, depending on the (depsi)peptide present during their formation. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.*.

Using this system, the HTLV-1 tax mRNA load was compared with HTLV-1 proviral DNA load, HTLV-1 Tax protein expression, HTLV-1 Tax-specific CD8(+) T-cell frequency, and disease severity of HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). This approach was a sensitive and specific technique for the precise quantification of HTLV-1 tax mRNA. The total amount of HTLV-1 tax mRNA and mRNA expression level in HTLV-1-infected cells (mRNA/DNA ratio) were higher in HAM/TSP patients than in asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers. The HTLV-1 tax mRNA load correlated with the HTLV-1 proviral DNA load ex vivo, the Tax protein expression in vitro, and the Tax-specific CD8(+) T-cell frequency ex vivo. The HTLV-1 tax mRNA load also correlated with disease severity in HAM/TSP patients. These data suggest that increased HTLV-1 expression plays an important role In the pathogenesis of HAM/TSP, and the HTLV-1 tax mRNA level could be a useful predictor of disease progression In patients with HAW TSP.

PI3K gamma -mutant mice have hematologic defects and are predisposed to colon cancer. On the basis of these data, PIK3CG was evaluated as a candidate myeloid tumor suppressor gene (TSG). PIK3CG was mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization adjacent and telomeric to a commonly deleted segment defined previously in myeloid leukemias with breakpoints within 7q22. PIK3CG contains 10 exons and spans approximately 37 kilobases of genomic DNA. Forty leukemias with monosomy 7 or a del(7q) were screened for PIK3CG mutations. Two patients had missense variations affecting residue 859 in the N-terminal catalytic domain of the protein. This allele was also detected In unaffected parents and in 1 of 60 control alleles; It probably represents a polymorphism. PIK3CG Is unlikely to act as a recessive TSG In myeloid leukemias with monosomy 7. (Blood. 2002;99:372-374) (C) 2002 by The American Society of Hematology.

Noting that a number of adult patients with type I Gaucher disease also had gallstones, we reviewed the clinical records of 66 adult patients evaluated at the National Institutes of Health with type I Gaucher disease. Twenty-one patients were identified who had either gallstones or a history of cholecystectomy. Of the 21 patients, 6 were male. The age at which stones were noted ranged from 19 to 70 years (mean 39 years). Thirteen of the patients had a cholecystectomy performed. Several different factors may contribute to the development of gallstones in these patients, including anemia, prior splenectomy, and hepatic involvement. Eleven of the patients were found to have chronic anemia. Fifteen of the patients underwent splenectomy. An increased biliary excretion of glucosylceramide could also contribute to cholelithiasis. To determine whether our findings were specific to our referral population, the medical records of a second series of 80 adult patients of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with type 1 Gaucher disease followed in Northern Israel were reviewed. Sixteen of these patients (5 male, 11 female) were also noted to have gallstones. Thus, the frequency of gallbladder involvement in patients with Gaucher disease appears to be greater than previously appreciated. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

Recently the MLIV gene, NICOLN1, has been identified as a new member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel superfamily. Here we report the cloning and characterization of the mouse homologue, Mcoln 1, and report a novel splice variant that is not seen in humans. Results: The human and mouse genes display a high degree of synteny. Mcoln I shows 91% amino acid and 86% nucleotide identity to NICOLN1. Also, Mcoln I maps to chromosome 8 and contains an open reading frame of 580 amino acids, with a transcript length of approximately 2 kb encoded by 14 exons, similar to its human counterpart. The transcript that results from murine specific alternative splicing encodes a 611 amino acid protein that differs at the c-terminus. Conclusions: Mcoln I is highly similar to NICOLN1, especially in the transmembrane domains and ion pore region. Also, the late endosomal/lysosomal targeting signal is conserved, supporting the hypothesis that the protein is localized to these vesicle membranes. To date, there are very few reports describing species-specific splice variants. While identification of Mcoln I is crucial to the development of mouse models for MLIV, the fact that there are two transcripts in mice suggests an additional or alternate function of the gene that may complicate phenotypic assessment.

While orthologs of this enzyme have been found in some bacteria and archaea, it shows no detectable relationship to the classical nucleotide cyclases. Furthermore, the actual biological functions of these proteins are not clearly understood because they are also present in organisms in which there is no evidence for cyclic nucleotide signaling. Results: We show that the CyaB like adenylyl cyclase and the mammalian thiamine triphosphatases define a novel superfamily of catalytic domains called the CYTH domain that is present in all three superkingdoms of life. Using multiple alignments and secondary structure predictions, we define the catalytic core of these enzymes to contain a novel alpha+beta scaffold with 6 conserved acidic residues and 4 basic residues. Using contextual information obtained from the analysis of gene neighborhoods and domain fusions, we predict that members of this superfamily may play a central role in the interface between nucleotide and polyphosphate metabolism. Additionally, based on contextual information, we identify a novel domain (called CHAD) that is predicted to functionally interact with the CYTH domain-containing enzymes in bacteria and archaea. The CHAD is predicted to be an alpha helical domain, and contains conserved histidines that may be critical for its function. Conclusions: The phyletic distribution of the CYTH domain suggests that it is an ancient enzymatic domain that was present in the Last Universal Common Ancestor and was involved in nucleotide or organic phosphate metabolism. Based on the conservation of catalytic residues, we predict that CYTH domains are likely to chelate two divalent cations, and exhibit a reaction mechanism that is dependent on two metal ions, analogous to nucleotide cyclases, polymerases and certain phosphoesterases. Our analysis also suggests that the experimentally characterized members of this superfamily, namely adenylyl cyclase and thiamine triphosphatase, are secondary derivatives of proteins that performed an ancient role in polyphosphate and nucleotide metabolism.

Recently, they have been shown to form similar helical quaternary superstructures. However, despite the functional similarities between these diverse SSAPs, their actual evolutionary affinities are poorly understood. Results: Using sensitive computational sequence analysis, we show that the RecT and Redbeta proteins, along with several other bacterial proteins, form a distinct superfamily. The ERF and Rad52 families show no direct evolutionary relationship to these proteins and define novel superfamilies of their own. We identify several previously unknown members of each of these superfamilies and also report, for the first time, bacterial and viral homologs of Rad52. Additionally, we predict the presence of aberrant HhH modules in RAD52 that are likely to be involved in DNA-binding. Using the contextual information obtained from the analysis of gene neighborhoods, we provide evidence of the interaction of the bacterial members of each of these SSAP superfamilies with a similar set of DNA repair/recombination protein. These include different nucleases or Holliday junction resolvases, the ABC ATPase SbcC and the single-strand-binding protein. We also present evidence of independent assembly of some of the predicted operons encoding SSAPs and in situ displacement of functionally similar genes. Conclusions: There are three evolutionarily distinct superfamilies of SSAPs, namely the RecT/ Redbeta, ERF, and RAD52, that have different sequence conservation patterns and predicted folds. All these SSAPs appear to be primarily of bacteriophage origin and have been acquired by numerous phylogenetically distant cellular genomes. They generally occur in predicted operons encoding one or more of a set of conserved DNA recombination proteins that appear to be the principal functional partners of the SSAPs.

Linkage analysis has suggested chromosome 13q32 as one of the regions with evidence of linkage to Schizophrenia and, separately, to Bipolar disorder (BP). SLC15A1 and GPC5 are two of the candidate genes within an approximately 10-cM region of linkage on chromosome 13q32. In order to identify a possible role for these candidates as susceptibility genes, we performed mutation screening on the coding regions of these two genes in 7 families (n-20) affected with Bipolar disorder showing linkage to 13q32. Results: Genomic organization revealed 23 exons in SLC15A1 and 8 exons in GPC5 gene respectively. Sequencing of the exons did not reveal mutations in the GPC5 gene in the 7 families affected with BP. Two polymorphic variants were discovered in the SLC15A1 gene. One was T to C substitution in the third position of codon encoding alanine at 1403 position of mRNA in exon 17, and the other was A to G substitution in the untranslated region at position 2242 of mRNA in exon 23. Conclusions: Mutation analysis of 2 candidate genes for Bipolar disorder on chromosome 13q32 did not identify any potentially causative mutations within the coding regions or splice junctions of the SLC15A1 or GPC5 genes in 7 families showing linkage to 13q32. Further studies of the regulatory regions are needed to completely exclude these genes as causative for Bipolar disorder.

Results: The interactions were confirmed by co-precipitation assays demonstrating the physical interaction of BTBD1 and BTBD2 with 100 kDa topoisomerase I from HeLa cells. Deletion mapping using two-hybrid and GST-pulldown assays demonstrated that less than the C-terminal half of BTBD1 is sufficient for binding topoisomerase 1. The topoisomerase I sequences sufficient to bind BTBD2 were mapped to residues 215 to 329. BTBD2 with an epitope tag localized to cytoplasmic bodies. Using truncated versions that direct BTBD2 and TOP1 to the same cellular compartment, either the nucleus or the cytoplasm, co-localization was demonstrated in cotransfected Hela cells. The supercoil relaxation and DNA cleavage activities of topoisomerase I in vitro were affected little or none by co-incubation with BTBD2. Northern analysis revealed only a single sized mRNA for each BTBD1 and BTBD2 in all human tissues tested. Characterization of BTBD2 mRNA revealed a 255 nucleotide 90% GC-rich region predicted to encode the N-terminus. BTBD1 and BTBD2 are widely if not ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, and have two paralogs as well as putative orthologs in C elegans and D. melanogaster. Conclusions: BTBD1 and BTBD2 belong to a small family of uncharacterized proteins that appear to be specific to animals. Epitope-tagged BTBD2 localized to cytoplasmic bodies. The characterization of BTBD1 and BTBD2 and their interaction with TOP1 is underway. C1 Uniformed Serv Univ Hlth Sci, Dept Biochem & Mol Biol, Bethesda, MD 20814 USA.

Methods: We examined the functional blood flow response of the brain after visual stimulation (reversing checkerboard pattern), and cerebral vasoreactivity following acetazolamide (15 mg/kg) with [O-15]H2O and positron emission tomography (PET) in Fabry disease. Twenty-six hemizygous patients (age range 19-47 years) were enrolled in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 6-month trial of enzyme replacement therapy administered by intravenous infusion every two weeks. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured with PET at the beginning and end of the trial. Results: Fabry patients had a significantly greater increase in rCBF following visual stimulation and acetazolamide challenge compared to controls. Visual reactivity was normal. The time for recovery of the cerebral vasculature following acetazolamide was prolonged in Fabry patients compared to controls. The abnormal rCBF response induced by visual stimulation and acetazolamide decreased significantly following enzyme replacement therapy, as did the prolonged recovery of the cerebral vasculature. Conclusions: Enzyme replacement therapy reverses the exaggerated cerebrovascular response in Fabry disease.

Data acquired during activation with arterial CO2 levels stabilized to normal values suggest an invariant flow-metabolism coupling relationship, but CO2-related variations in cerebral blood flow combined additively with activation-related flow responses, with negligible interaction between focal and systemic effects. These findings are inconsistent with the existence of a strictly homeostatic feedback scheme for the regulation of cerebral blood flow, and support the existence of multiple independent pathways of cerebrovascular control.

Recent studies of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal responses have demonstrated nonlinear behavior with respect to stimulus duration. Specifically, shorter duration stimuli produce larger signal changes than expected from a linear system. The precise reasons for this nonlinearity are not clearly understood. The goal of this study is to further clarify the origin of dynamic BOLD contrast nonlinearities-either neuronal or hemodynamic or both, by a combined approach of task timing modulation, spatial mapping, and modeling/fitting of the BOLD response using the "Balloon model." In this study, we found that (1) in agreement with the literature, the dynamic BOLD "on" response is nonlinear and has significant spatial heterogeneity. Spatial maps of nonlinearity, while highly reproducible, do not correlate with maps of the BOLD response magnitude or latency, but do show some correlation with functional segregation; (2) the dynamic BOLD "off" response is sublinear; and (3) while data fitted with Balloon model hemodynamic parameters, assuming linear neuronal input, generally create nonlinear dynamic BOLD responses, the Balloon model was not able to fit all BOLD contrast response task timing modulations simultaneously. These findings suggest that the dynamic BOLD response may be a linear function of the neuronal input function and that the neuronal input function is not a simple "on/off" boxcar function, but rather a nonlinear function that has an initial overshoot that lasts for approximately 4 s until reaching a steady state.

Immunohistochemistry was performed with anti-manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), anti-heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and antitumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in five different strains of rats and in rats that received lipopolysaccharide to activate their vessels. In both normal and activated brain vessels, immunoreactivity was present as concentric perivascular rings involving vessel wall and surrounding parenchyma that appeared to coincide with one another in serial sections. The ring patterns suggested radial expansion from the vessel lumen into the surrounding parenchyma in cyclic waves. The average number of vessels per high power field (HPF) (mean +/- SD) with perivascular cuffs of immunoreactive MnSOD increased from 51 +/- 28 in Wistar, 72 +/- 46 in Wistar-Kyoto, and 84 +/- 30 in Sprague-Dawley rats (no spontaneous strokes) to 184 +/- 72 in spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rats (SHR-SP) (spontaneous strokes). Perivascular immunoreactive cuffs are also increased in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by the induction of cytokine expression by lipopolysaccharide (64 +/- 15 vs. 131 +/- 32/HPF). The findings are interpreted to indicate that focal hemostatic balance normally fluctuates in brain vessels and influences surrounding parenchymal cells. Perivascular immunoreactive cuffs representing this process are more frequent in animals with LPS-induced endothelial activation or genetic stroke-proneness. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Given these potential fitness costs, we performed two studies aimed at elucidating the effects of CSF 5-HIAA on reproduction. Study 1 retrospectively evaluated over a four-year period, the relative reproductive outcome for pairs of adult male rhesus macaques (n = 15) who lived in social groups and who differed in concentrations of CSF 5-HIAA. Study 2 examined the relationship between CSF 5-HIAA and sperm motility and density (n = 12), as a potential mechanism for maintaining variability in CSF 5-HIAA. For Study 1, an average measure from two CSF 5-HIAA samples was calculated for the two males who were present during the time when conception most likely took place (offspring birth date -165 +/- 14 days). Within-pair comparisons of CSF 5-HIAA concentrations between the sire and the non-successful male were drawn for each of the 72 offspring in the study. We found that while sires were typically the male with relatively higher CSF 5-HIAA within the pair, there were no absolute differences in CSF 5-HIAA between males who sired at least one offspring (sires) and those who failed to reproduce (non-sires). Furthermore, while absolute age was not predictive of reproductive outcome, sires with relatively high CSF 5-HIAA also tended to be also relatively older than their competitors. By contrast, for the males with relatively low CSF 5-HIAA who reproduced, sires were relatively younger than the non-sires. These differences in reproductive outcome for males differing in CSF 5-HIAA could not be explained by variability in sperm quantity or quality as we did not find evidence of a relationship between CSF 5-HIAA and either sperm measure. The results of this study suggest that as serotonergic function affects many aspects of behavior and survivorship, it might also be associated with reproductive outcome and different life-history strategies for males differing in concentrations of CSF 5-HIAA.

A complex pattern of interactions of Brca1 with Trp53 has also emerged. Xu and coworkers found that haploid loss of Trp53 significantly reduces the embryonic lethality observed in mice with a homozygous in-frame deletion of Brca1 exon 11. They report that widespread apoptosis correlates with the embryonic lethality resulting from this homozygous 11 Brca1 mutation. A mechanism responsible for Brca1-associated carcinogenesis is proposed. These experiments extend our knowledge of a complex Brca1/Trp53 relationship. However, the precise mechanisms through which Brca1 interacts with Trp53 to suppress mammary tumor formation have yet to be elucidated. C1 NIEHS, Lab Womens Hlth, NIH, Res Triangle Pk, NC 27709 USA.

In this study we used cDNA microarray technology to examine gene expression profiles obtained from fine needle aspiration (FNA) of primary breast tumors before and after systemic chemotherapy. Our goal was to determine the feasibility of obtaining representative expression array profiles from limited amounts of tissue and to identify those expression profiles that correlate with treatment response. Methods: Repeat presurgical FNA samples were taken from six patients who were to undergo primary surgical treatment. Additionally, a group of 10 patients who were to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy underwent two FNAs before chemotherapy (adriamycin 60 mg/m(2) and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m(2)) followed by another FNA on day 21 after the first cycle. Total RNA was amplified with T7 Eberwine's procedure and labeled cDNA was hybridized onto a 7600-feature glass cDNA microarray. Results: We identified candidate gene expression profiles that might distinguish tumors with complete response to chemotherapy from tumors that do not respond, and found that the number of genes that change after one cycle of chemotherapy was 10 times greater in the responding group than in the nonresponding group. Conclusion: This study supports the suitability of FNA-derived cDNA microarray expression profiling of breast cancers as a comprehensive genomic approach for studying the mechanisms of drug resistance. Our findings also demonstrate the potential of monitoring post-chemotherapy changes in expression profiles as a measure of pharmacodynamic effect and suggests that these approaches might yield useful results when validated by larger studies.

We detected MDM2 oncoprotein in both nucleus and cytoplasm by frozen-section immunohistochemistry. There was a significant correlation between MDM2 overexpression and low-grade nuclear atypia, absence of lymph node involvement, and increased levels of ER alpha protein. Our molecular assays found no point mutations in Ser(1)7, but there was a correlation between MDM2 overexpression and the lack of splice variant mRNAs. These results suggest that the distribution of MDM2 reflects its nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling ability; that interaction between p53 and MDM2 for tumor progression is not enhanced by point mutations at codon 17; and that the expression of MDM2 splice variants is a reason for the lack of its overexpression. MDM2 overexpression correlates with favorable prognostic parameters. A decreased level of MDM2 will lead to a deviation from the ER alpha signaling pathway.

Methods: A cluster sampling design was used to select apartment buildings within housing estates for enumeration. All enumerated residents 60 years of age or over were invited for an eye examination and visual acuity measurement at a site within each estate. Visual functioning (VF) and vision related quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were administered to interview subjects who had undergone cataract surgery and to unoperated people with presenting visual acuity less than 6/60 in either eye, and a sample of those with normal visual acuity. Results: 36.6% of the 3 10 cataract operated individuals had presenting visual acuity 6/18 or better in both eyes, and 40.0% when measured by pinhole. 4.5% were blind, with presenting visual acuity less than 6/60 in both eyes. Of operated eyes, 59.6% presented with visual acuity 6/18 or better. 11.2% of the operated eyes were blind with vision less than 6/60. Visual acuity outcomes 6/18 or better were marginally associated with surgery in private versus public hospitals. Lens status (pseudophakic versus aphakic) and surgical period (within the most recent 3 years versus before) were not significantly related to vision outcomes. Mean VF and QOL scores decreased consistently with decreasing vision status. Spearman correlation with vision status was 0,420 for VF scores and 0.313 for QOL scores. Among VF/QOL subscales, correlation was strongest for visual perception (r = 0.447) among VF subscales and weakest for self care (r = 0. 171) among QOL subscales. Regression adjusted VF and QOL total scores for cataract operated individuals were slightly lower than for those of visually comparable unoperated individuals (p<0.05). Conclusions: Cataract operations in Hong Kong did not consistently produce good presenting visual acuity outcomes, suggesting that postoperative monitoring would be useful to minimise visual impairment in this population. Although vision outcomes were consistently correlated with all VF/QOL subscale scores, there was a differential impact with VF subscales usually being affected more by reduced acuity than the more general QOL subscales.

Methods: 296 of the 558 people classified as having diabetes by the American Diabetes Association criteria, from a population based cohort of adults (ranging in age from 69 to 102 years) living in four United States communities (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; Forsyth County, North Carolina; Sacramento County, California; and Washington County, Maryland) were studied from 1997 to 1998. Lesions typical of diabetic retinopathy were determined by grading a 45degrees colour fundus photograph of one eye of each participant, using a modification of the Airlie House classification system. Results: Retinopathy was present in 20% of the diabetic cohort, with the lowest prevalence (16%), in those 80 years of age or older. Retinopathy was detected in 20.3% of the 296 people with diabetes; 2.7% of the 296 had signs of proliferative retinopathy and 2.1% had signs of macular oedema, The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was higher in black people (35.4%) than white (16,0%). Controlling for age, sex, and blood glucose, retinopathy was more frequent in black people than white (odds ratio (OR) 2.26, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.01, 5.05), in those with longer duration of diabetes (OR (per 5 years of diabetes) 1.42, 95% Cl 1.18, 1.70), in those with subclinical cardiovascular disease (OR 1.49, 95% Cl 0.51, 4.31), or coronary heart disease or stroke (OR 3.23, 95% Cl 1.09, 9.56) than those without those diseases, in those with higher plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (OR (per 10 mg/dl of LDL cholesterol) 1.12, 95% Cl 1.02, 1.23), and in those with gross proteinuria (OR 4.76, 95% Cl 1.53, 14.86). Conclusion: Data from this population based study suggest a higher prevalence of retinopathy in black people than white people with diabetes and the association of cardiovascular disease, elevated plasma LDL cholesterol, and gross proteinuria with diabetic retinopathy. However, any conclusions or explanations regarding associations described here must be made with caution because only about one half of those with diabetes mellitus were evaluated.

Both species form obligate mutualisms with luminous bacteria from the environment. The embryonic period of S. robusta, which is at least double to that of E. scolopes at similar temperatures, produced additional features not reported to occur in the E. scolopes light organ, including an extended ciliated ridge at the base of the light organ, as well as additional crypt spaces to house symbiotic bacteria. Accessory structures, which are used to modify the bacteria-produced light, are not under the induction of symbiotic bacteria and appear in S. robusta before hatching, whereas in E. scolopes these tissues form post-hatching. At hatching the light organs of both species respond to symbiotically competent bacteria and undergo similar developmental remodeling. Specifically, the ciliated epithelial fields on the surface of the light organ undergo a program of cell death and regression that spans 4 to 5 d in E. scolopes, and over 9 d in S. robusta. Although the timing of embryogenesis differs between these two species, the results of these studies demonstrate that the influence of Vibrio fischeri, the specific symbiont, appears to be restricted to the initial stages of post-hatching development of both light organs.

Method Two-dose regimens of a locally produced, bivalent, anti-O1, anti-O139 killed oral whole-cell cholera vaccine (biv-WC) and of a commercially available, monovalent (anti-O1) oral recombinant B subunit-killed whole-cell cholera vaccine (rBS-WC) were compared in two trials in Viet Nam. In the first trial, 144 adults were randomized to biv-WC with or without buffer, rBS-WC with buffer, or placebo without buffer, In the second, 103 children aged 1-12 years were randomized to biv-WC without buffer, rBS-WC with buffer, or placebo without buffer. Findings No regimen was associated with significant side-effects. In adults, ca 60% of recipients of either vaccine exhibited at least fourfold serum anti-O1 vibriocidal antibody responses and ca 40% of recipients of biv-WC demonstrated anti-O139 vibriocidal responses, Both anti-O1 (ca 90% in each vaccine group and anti-O139 (68% in the biv-WC group) vibriocidal responses occurred more frequently in children, The responses to biv-WC were unaffected by the receipt of buffer. Conclusion It was concluded that biv-WC was safe and immunogenic, that it could be administered without buffer, and that it could elicit robust immune responses even in children, for whom the risk of endemic cholera is highest.

Methods Interviews were conducted in a total of 54 834 households: Balochistan, 20 486; NWFP, 26 175; and FATA, 8173. Trained interviewers administered questionnaires after obtaining verbal informed consent from the respondents. Verbal autopsy interviews were conducted for infant deaths reported for the previous year. Findings The infant mortality rate based on combined data from the different sites was 99.7 per 1000 live births (range 129.0-70.1). The contribution of neonatal deaths to all infant deaths was much higher for NWFP (67.2%), where the overall rate was lowest, than for Balochistan (50.8%) and FATA (56.8%). Around 70% of all neonatal deaths occurred in the early neonatal period. The three main clinical causes of infant deaths were diarrhoea syndrome (21.6%), tetanus (11.7%) and acute respiratory infections (11.6%). In the neonatal period, however, tetanus (18.3%), small size for gestational age or low birth weight (15.3%), and birth injury (12.0%) accounted for nearly half (45.6%) of all deaths, while the contributions of diarrhoea syndrome (5.1%) and acute respiratory infections (6.0%) were less significant (11.1%). Tetanus was the cause of death for 21.7% and 17.1% of all infant deaths in FATA and NWFP respectively. Conclusion The results suggest that there should be a shift in child survival programmes to give greater emphasis to maternal and neonatal health, in particular to maternal tetanus immunization, safe delivery and cord care.

Furthermore, the recognition that some women need specialist obstetric care to prevent maternal death has led to the search for indicators measuring the met need for obstetric care. Although intuitively appealing, the conceptualization and definition of the need for obstetric care is far from straightforward, and there is relatively little experience so far in the use and interpretation of indicators of service use or need for obstetric care, In this paper we review indicators of service use and need for obstetric care, and briefly discuss data collection issues.

The renewed interest has been stimulated by the recogniton that, although BCG is delivered to approximately 90% of all neonates globally through the Expanded Programme on immunization, Mycobacterium tuberculosis continues to cause over 8 million new cases of TB and over 2 million deaths annually. Over one hundred TB vaccine candidates have been developed, using different approaches to inducing protective immunity. Candidate vaccines are typically screened in small animal models of primary TB disease for their ability to protect against a virulent strain of M. tuberculosis.

This alteration is detectable in mice long before primary skin cancers induced by UV light begin to appear. The alteration results in the failure of UV-irradiated mice to reject highly antigenic, transplanted UV-induced tumors that are rejected by unirradiated syngeneic recipients. The immunologic aspect of this systemic alteration was demonstrated by transferring lymphoid cells from UV-irradiated mice to lethally x-irradiated recipients. These recipients were unable to resist a later challenge with a syngeneic UV-induced tumor, whereas those given lymphoid cells from normal donors were resistant to tumor growth. Parabiosis of normal mice with UV-irradiated mice, followed by tumor challenge of both parabionts with a UV-induced tumor, resulted in the growth of the challenge tumors in both UV-irradiated and unirradiated mice. Splenic lymphocytes from tumor-implanted UV-treated mice were not cytotoxic in vitro against UV-induced tumors, whereas under identical conditions cells from tumor-implanted, unirradiated mice were highly cytotoxic. Our findings suggest that repeated UV irradiation can circumvent an immunologic mechanism that might otherwise destroy nascent UV-induced primary tumors that are strongly antigenic.

Studies were performed in mice and rats to: (1) define the plasma pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and urinary excretion of 17DMAG after i.v. delivery; (2) define the bioavailability of 17DMAG after i.p. and oral delivery; (3) characterize the biliary excretion of 17DMAG after i.v. delivery to rats; and (4) characterize, if possible, any metabolites of 17DMAG observed in plasma, tissue, urine, or bile. Materials and methods: Studies were performed in female, CD2F1 mice or male Fischer 344 rats. In preliminary toxicity studies and subsequent i.v. pharmacokinetic studies in mice, 17DMAG i.v. bolus doses of 33.3, 50, and 75 mg/kg were used. In bioavailability studies, i.p. and oral 17DMAG doses of 75 mg/kg were used. In preliminary toxicity studies in rats, i.v. bolus doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg were used, and in i.v. pharmacokinetic studies 10 mg/kg was used. Compartmental and noncompartmental analyses were applied to the plasma concentration versus time data. In mice and rats, concentrations of 17DMAG were determined in multiple tissues. Urine was collected from mice and rats treated with each of the i.v. doses of 17DMAG mentioned above, and drug excretion was calculated until 24 h after treatment. Biliary excretion of 17DMAG and metabolites was studied in bile duct-cannulated rats given a 10 mg/kg i.v. bolus dose of 17DMAG. 17DMAG metabolites were identified with LC/MS. Results: A 75 mg/kg dose of 17DMAG caused no changes in appearance, appetite, waste elimination, or survival of treated mice as compared to vehicle-treated controls. Bolus i.v. delivery of 17DMAG at 75 mg/kg produced "peak" plasma 17DMAG concentrations between 18 and 24.2 mug/ml in mice killed at 5 min after injection. Sequential reduction in the 17DMAG dose to 50 and 33.3 mg/kg resulted in "peak" plasma 17DMAG concentrations between 9.4 and 14.4, and 8.4 and 10.5 mug/ml, respectively. Plasma 17DMAG AUC increased from 362 to 674 and 1150 mug/ml.min when the 17DMAG dose increased from 33.3 to 50 and 75 mg/kg, respectively, corresponding to a decrease in 17DMAG CLtb from 92 ml/min per kg to 75 and 65 ml/min per kg. Plasma 17DMAG concentration versus time data were best fit by a two-compartment open linear model. No potential 17DMAG metabolites were observed in plasma. 17DMAG bioavailability was 100% and 50% after i.p. and oral delivery. respectively. In rats, an i.v. bolus dose of 10 mg/kg produced peak plasma 17DMAG concentrations between 0.88 and 1.74 mug/ml. Plasma 17DMAG concentrations had fallen below the lower limit of quantitation by 180 min and were best fit by a one-compartment open linear model. The plasma 17DMAG AUC was 104 mug/ml.min, corresponding to a 17DMAG CLtb of 96 ml/min per kg. 17DMAG distributed rapidly to all mouse and rat tissues except brain and testes. Only mouse liver contained materials consistent with potential metabolites of 17DMAG, but their concentrations were below the limit of quantitation of the HPLC assay used. Within the first 24 h after delivery. urinary excretion of 17DMAG by mice and rats accounted or 10.6-14.8% and 12.5-16%. respectively, of the delivered dose. By 15 min after i.v. delivery of 10 mg/kg of 17DMAG, rat bile contained 11 new materials with absorbance similar to that of 17DMAG. Four of these proposed metabolites had an M, of 633, indicating addition of an oxygen. Two of these proposed metabolites had an M-r of 603. implying the loss of one methyl group, and one had an M-r of 589, implying the loss of two methyl groups. The remaining four proposed metabolites had an M-r of 566, 571, 629, and 645. respectively. Biliary excretion of 17DMAG and metabolites accounted for 4.7 +/- 1.4% of the delivered dose. with 17DMAG accounting for 50.7 +/- 3.4% of the biliary excretion. Conclusions: 17DMAG has excellent bioavailability when given i.p. and good bioavailability when given orally. 17DMAG is widely distributed to tissues and is quantitatively metabolized much less than is 17AAG. The pharmacokinetic and metabolite data generated should prove relevant to the design of additional preclinical studies as well as to contemplated clinical trials of 17DMAG and could be useful in their interpretation.

Using the vertical strip technique with silicone breast models and live patients, 4-day CBE training sessions were provided to 34 nurse-practitioners. Trainees perceived a significant decrease in the size of breast lesion they could detect after training (P < 0.0001). The size of the detectable lesion reported prior to training was correlated with the years of CBE experience (P < 0.05); however, the size of the detectable lesion after training was not significantly related to previous CBE experience. Trainees with less CBE experience prior to training reported greater improvement in the ability to detect smaller lesions (P < 0.05). Results indicate a significant CBE training effect on perceived competence, and suggest that nurse practitioners from all levels of experience can benefit significantly from CBE training.

These molecular changes are the basis for an evolving field of high-throughput cancer discovery techniques using microscopic amounts of patient-based materials. Laser capture microdissection allows pure populations of cells to be isolated from both the tumor and stroma in order to identify subtle differences in RNA and protein expression. Comparative, analysis of these alterations between normal, pre-invasive, and invasive tissue using powerful bioinformatics programs has allowed us to identify novel tumor markers, profile complex protein pathways, and develop new molecular-based therapies. Continued refinement of such high-throughput microtechnologies will enable us to rapidly query patient specimens to identify novel methods for early detection, treatment, and follow-up of a wide array of human cancers.

Here, we describe recombinant vaccines and vaccine strategies that have been developed to induce and potentiate T-cell responses of the host to such self-antigens. These strategies include: (a) the use of recombinant poxvirus vectors in which the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) is inserted as a transgene. Recombinant vaccinia vaccines and recombinant avipox (replication-defective) vaccines have been employed to break tolerance to a self-antigen; (b) the use of diversified prime and boost strategies using different vaccines; and (c) the insertion of multiple T-cell co-stimulatory molecules into recombinant poxvirus vectors, along with the TAA gene, to enhance T-cell immune responses to the TAA and induce anti-tumor immunity.

Factors evaluated included body weight gain, dietary phytoestrogen content, total metabolizable energy, and percent crude fiber. Fifteen to 147 mice per group, housed 5 per cage, were randomly assigned to each of the 20 test diets. The test diets were fed for 7 days to 15-day old immature female CD-1 mice and their body weight gain and uterine weights were determined. Analysis of covariance procedures were used to evaluate differences in uterine weights, after adjusting for body weight and time-related trends. Fisher's least significant difference test was used to compare adjusted uterine weights and weight gains among the test diets. Additionally, multiple linear regression procedures were used to identify those characteristics of the rodent diet that were most predictive of the adjusted uterine weights. Total metabolizable energy was significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with and was predictive of uterine weights. The following dietary variables were not significantly predictive of uterine weights: total daidzein and genistein content, percent protein, fat, N-FE (carbohydrates) or percent crude fiber. We concluded that: (1) total metabolizable energy (ME) in natural ingredient or purified diets has a significant (P < 0.01) effect on the uterine weights of immature mice used in 7-day uterotrophic bioassays; (2) a standardized, estrogen-free diet with a constant level of ME should be used for conducting uterotrophic assays when comparing results between different laboratories or when determining the estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity of endocrine disruptor compounds (3) the mouse uterotrophic assay remains a sensitive bioassay for assessing chemicals for estrogenic activity or for the detection of total estrogenic activity in rodent diets that may be contaminated with estrogenic compounds, and (4) chemical assays should be used to detect or measure low levels of the phytoestrogens in rodent diets.

We found HPV-16 or HPV-18 E7 DNA in 6.9% (11 of 175) of invasive cervical cancer cases (18.1% of cases positive for HPV-16 or HPV-18 at the genital tract), 1.8% (1 of 57) of carcinoma in situ, and 1.7% (1 of 60) of normal controls by conventional PCR. Quantitative PCR identified the highest concentrations of HPV DNA (copy number of HPV/ml of plasma) in patients with invasive cervical cancer (mean, 11,163; median, 183.5), followed by a level of 8 in the single carcinoma in situ case and 0 copies in the normal control initially positive by conventional PCR. HPV DNA can be detected in the plasma of some patients with HPV-positive cervical tumors. It remains to be demonstrated whether quantitative PCR analysis of HPV DNA in plasma may have utility in patients at high risk of recurrent disease.

These groups consist of women who are disproportionately older, poorer, of racial-ethnic minorities, have lower levels of formal education, and live in rural areas. We refer to them as diverse populations. The purpose of this report is to determine which types of mammography-enhancing interventions are most effective for these diverse populations. For this report, United States and international studies with concurrent controls that reported actual receipt of mammograms (usually based on self-report) as an outcome were eligible for inclusion. Intervention effects were measured by differences in intervention and control group screening rates postintervention and were weighted to reflect the certainty of each study's contribution. These effects differed significantly (Q = 218, 34 df), and the variation between studies was best explained by indicators of the use of access-enhancing approaches. Combined intervention effects were estimated for different categories of intervention types using random effects models for subgroups of studies. The strongest combination of approaches used access-enhancing and individual-directed strategies and resulted in an estimated 27% increase in mammography use (95% confidence interval, 9.9-43.9, nine studies). Additionally impressive was the access-enhancing and system-directed combination (20% increase and 95% confidence interval, 8.2-30.6, five studies). Access-enhancing strategies are an important complement to individual- and system-directed interventions for women with historically lower rates of screening.

To assess the clinical efficacy of AP-1 inhibition toward reversing drug resistance, we have developed an adenovirus expressing a dominant negative that inhibits AP-1 DNA binding, named AdA-FOS. We examined the consequence of AdA-FOS infection on two paired human cancer cell lines, each pair consisting of a parental cell and the drug-resistant derivative. The first pair of cells is the parental human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 and the cisplatin-resistant A2780/CP70 cell line. The second pair of cells is the parental epidermal carcinoma cell line KB8 and the multidrug-resistant (mdr) KB85 cell line. Because of an association of up-regulated AP-1 activity with their drug resistance, these ceII lines were considered good targets of AdA- FOS therapy. Following infection of the drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells, we observed a significant decrease in cell viability of KB85 and A2780/CP70 cells at drug (loses normally not lethal to the cell. The parental cell lines, A2780 and KB8 cells, were not similarly affected by AdA-FOS. This decrease in viability was specific to AdA-FOS as an adenovirus control (Advector) did not reverse drug resistance. Although the efficiency of AdA-FOS in therapy would need to be further analyzed with other cisplatin-resistant and mdr cell lines, these results suggest that AP-1 is a therapeutic molecular target and that inhibition of AP-1 DNA binding may be of clinical value in treating chemotherapeutic resistance.

In this article, we review mitochondrial genomic aberrations reported in solid tumors of the breast, colon, stomach, liver, kidney, bladder, head/neck, and lung. The tantalizing association of tumors with mDNA mutations implicates these mutations in the process of carcinogenesis. Alterations in expression of mtDNA transcripts in a variety of cancer types are also reviewed. In solid tumors, elevated expression Of mtDNA-genes coding for subunits of the mitochondrial electron respiratory chain may reflect mitochondrial adaptation to perturbations in cellular energy requirements. The role of mtDNA mutations and altered expression of mitochondrial genes in carcinogenesis is discussed. mitochondrial DNA mutations can initiate a cascade of events leading to a continuous increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (persistent oxidative stress), a condition that probably favors tumor development.

Background: The CI-980 is a synthetic mitosis inhibitor that acts via the colchicine binding site on tubulin. Broad in vitro activity has been seen in a variety of human and murine tumor models. Phase I studies have demonstrated schedule dependent toxicity of CI-980. Dose-limiting toxicity was neurologic when CI-980 was given as a 24-hr infusion and hematologic when given over 72 hr at higher doses. Methods: Twenty-four patients ages 29-65 entered this study. Six patients were treated on the phase I arm at three escalating dose levels ranging from 10.5 to 13.5 mg/m(2), given over 72 hr. Eighteen patients were then treated at the highest tolerated dose, 13.5 mg/m(2) per cycle. Treatment response was based on serial MRI imaging characteristics. Results: The phase II study was stopped at the end of the first stage due to poor treatment response. There were no partial or complete responses, (0/24) 95% CI = 0-14%. Four patients (4/24) had a best treatment response of stable disease/no change. Median time to progression for all patients was 6.4 weeks (95% CI: 6-9 weeks). Dose-limiting toxicity was grade 3-4 granulocytopenia. Three episodes of neurotoxicity manifested by a moderate cerebellar dysfunction were seen. Conclusions: These results fail to demonstrate the significant activity of CI-980 against recurrent glioma. C1 Univ Texas, MD Anderson Canc Ctr, Dept Neurooncol, Houston, TX 77030 USA.

In the first two decades of its use. dose-intensive chemotherapy alone was credited with curing those patients who achieved sustained remission following this procedure. However, more recently investigators have come to recognize that antineoplastic effects mediated by immunocompetent donor T-cells transplanted with the stem cell allograft can be induced against hematological malignancies. Indeed, this graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) or graft-vs-tumor (GVT) effect is now felt to represent the principal modality required to sustain durable remissions of hematological malignancies following this approach. The powerful and potentially curative nature of the GVT effect in hematological cancers has recently lured oncologists into exploring the therapeutic potential of allogeneic stem cell transplantation as an investigational approach for treatment-refractory solid tumors. We review here the development and early clinical results of allogeneic stem cell transplantation as potential immunotherapy for solid tumors. C1 NHLBI, NIH, Hematol Branch, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Because CTCF targets include oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, we screened over 100 human tumor samples for mutations that might disrupt CTCF activity. We did not observe any CTCF mutations leading to truncations/premature stops. Rather, in breast, prostate, and Wilms' tumors, we observed four different CTCF somatic missense mutations involving amino acids within the ZF domain. Each ZF mutation abrogated CTCF binding to a subset of target sites within the promoters/insulators of certain genes involved in regulating cell proliferation but did not alter binding to the regulatory sequences of other genes. These observations suggest that CTCF may represent a novel tumor suppressor gene that displays tumor-specific "change of function" rather than complete "loss of function.".

We have developed a cell culture model that demonstrates the role of stromal cells in the regulation of proliferation, hormone responsiveness, and differentiation of an endometrial adenocarcinoma cell line (Ishikawa). Conditioned medium (CM) was collected from normal primary human endometrial stromal cells grown on plastic or within the basement membrane extract, Matrigel. The CM produced by stromal cells cultured in contact with Matrigel markedly inhibited Ishikawa cell proliferation compared with CM from stromal cells cultured on plastic. Ishikawa cell proliferation varied with steroid hormone treatment in the presence of CM from stromal cells embedded in Matrigel. When the Ishikawa cells were placed in coculture in contact with stromal cells in Matrigel, production of a differentiated epithelial secretory product, glycodelin, was induced. Gene expression of stromal cell hormone receptors, growth factors, and integrins was analyzed, by reverse transcription-PCR in the presence of Matrigel to determine the potential factors involved in stromal regulatory function. These combined studies imply that the phenotype of the Ishikawa cells can be induced to differentiate to more closely resemble normal endometrial epithelium by reintroduction of stromal factors and appropriate extracellular matrix. Additionally, the study shows that basement membrane proteins influence the regulatory function of stromal cells as they mediate epithelial cell growth.

Fan et al., Science (Wash. DC), 284: 1354-1356, 1999). We now report that the ability of BRCA1 to repress ER-alpha activity correlates with its ability to induce down-regulation of the cellular levels of the transcriptional coactivator p300 in breast and prostate, but not in cervical cancer cells. On the other hand, BRCA1 failed to alter the expression of the CREB binding protein (CBP), the structural and functional homologue of p300, in any of these eel] types. Ectopic expression of either p300 or CBP "rescued" (i.e., reversed) the BRCA1 inhibition of ER-alpha activity, whereas two other nuclear receptor coactivators, the p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) and the glucocorticoid receptor-interacting protein-1 (GRIP1), failed to rescue the ER-alpha activity. The rescue function mapped to the cysteine-histidine rich domain CH3, a region of p300/CBP that we found to interact directly with the conserved COOH-terminal activation domain (AF-2) of ER-alpha. p300 and ER-alpha were also found to interact in vivo and to colocalize within the nucleus in breast cancer cells. These findings suggest that the cofactors p300 and CBP modulate the ability of the BRCA1 protein to inhibit ER-alpha signaling. They further suggest that the BRCA1 inhibition of ER-alpha activity may be attributable, at least in part, to the down-regulation of p300.

Tissue redox status and pO(2) are two factors that are hypothesized to be different in normal and malignant tissues. Methods that can detect subtle differences in the above physiological parameters would greatly aid in devising appropriate treatment strategies. We have previously used in vivo electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and imaging techniques and shown that tumor tissues are highly reducing and hypoxic compared with normal tissues (P. Kuppusamy et aL, Cancer Res., 58: 1562-1568, 1998). The purpose of the present study was to obtain spatially resolved redox data from normal and tumor tissues of radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF-1) tumor-bearing mice and to examine the role of intracellular glutathione (GSH) on the tissue redox status. Experiments were performed using low-frequency (1.3 GHz) in vivo EPR spectroscopy and imaging techniques with a nitroxide redox probe L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, was used,to deplete tissue GSH levels. The results show the existence of significant heterogeneity of redox status in the tumor tissue compared with normal tissue. The tumor tissues show at least 4-fold higher concentrations of GSH levels compared with normal tissues in the tumor-bearing mice. Also BSO treatment showed a differential depletion of GSH and reducing equivalents in the tumor tissue. Thus, it appears that there is significant heterogeneity of tumor redox status and that manipulation of the tumor redox status may be important in tumor growth and therapy.

Mach et al., Cancer Res., 57: 156-161, 1997) and the ability of some sigma ligands to inhibit proliferation (P. J. Brent and G. T. Pang, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 278: 151-160, 1995). We demonstrate here the ability of sigma-2 receptor agonists to induce cell death by a mechanism consistent with apoptosis. In breast tumor cell lines that are sensitive (MCF-7) and resistant (MCF-7/Adr-, T47D, and SKBr3) to antineoplastic agents, incubation with the sigma-2 subtype-selective agonists CB-64D and CB-184 produced dose-dependent cytotoxicity (measured by lactate dehydrogenase release into medium). The EC50 for this response was similar across cell lines, irrespective of p53 genotype and drug-resistance phenotype. CB-64D and the subtype nonselective sigma-2 agonists haloperidol and reduced haloperidol induced terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining in MCF-7 and T47D cells, indicating that cell death occurs via apoptosis. Apoptosis was also indicated by increases in Annexin V binding caused by CB-64D. In MCF-7 cells, cytotoxicity and Annexin V binding induced by the antineoplastics doxorubicin and actinomycin D was partially or completely abrogated by certain specific and general inhibitors of caspases. In contrast, caspase inhibitors had no effect on sigma-2 receptor-mediated (CB-64D and CB-184) cytotoxicity or Annexin V binding. Marked potentiation of cytotoxicity was observed when a subtoxic dose of CB-184 was combined with doxorubicin or actinomycin D, both in drug-sensitive (MCF-7) and drug-resistant (MCF-7/Adr-) cell lines. Haloperidol potentiated doxorubicin only in drug-resistant cells. These findings suggest the involvement of a novel p53- and caspase-independent apoptotic pathway used by sigma-2 receptors, which is distinct from mechanisms used by some DNA-damaging, antineoplastic agents and other apoptotic stimuli. These observations further suggest that sigma-2 receptors may be targets that can be therapeutically exploited in the treatment of both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant metastatic tumors.

These processes have been shown to be abnormally regulated during carcinogenesis. We have previously found aberrant expression of TRalpha and TRbeta mRNAs in renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC), suggesting possible involvement of TRs in the carcinogenesis of RCCC. To understand the molecular actions of TRs in RCCC, cDNAs for TRbeta1 and TRalpha1 were cloned from 22 RCCC tissues and 20 surrounding normal tissues. Mutations were found in seven TRbeta1 and three TRalpha1 cDNAs. Two TRbeta1 cDNAs had a single mutation, while five TRbeta1 and three TRalpha1 had two or three mutations. Most of the mutations were localized in the hormone-binding domain. Using the TRs prepared by in vitro transcription/translation, we found that these mutations led to a loss of T-3 binding activity and/or impairment in binding to thyroid hormone response elements (TREs). Furthermore, nuclear extracts from RCCC tissues also exhibited impairment in binding to TREs. These results indicate that the normal functions of TRs in RCCC tissues were impaired. Together with the aberrant expression patterns, these mutated TRs could contribute to the carcinogenesis of RCCC. C1 Polish Acad Sci, Med Res Ctr, Dept Endocrinol, Warsaw, Poland.

FA cells exhibit characteristic hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents such as mitomycin C (MMC), and FANCG is one of six known FA gene products. By immunocytochemical analysis of transfected cells, we discovered that although FANCG localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm, there was an increase in cells with predominantly cytoplasmic staining after treatment with MMC. Concurrently, while searching by two-hybrid analysis for proteins that associate with FANCG, we identified a novel interaction between FANCG and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). A member of the P450 superfamily, CYP2E1 is associated with the production of reactive oxygen intermediates and the bioactivation of carcinogens. High constitutive levels of CYP2E1 were found in a FA-G lymphoblast cell line, whereas complementation of the FA-G line with wild-type FANCG was associated with decreased CYP2E1. These findings suggested that the interaction of FANCG with CYP2E1 might alter redox metabolism and increase DNA oxidation. Using a fluorescent assay, we found a dose-dependent increase in the oxidized DNA base, 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), after treatment of mutant FA-G cells with H2O2 or MMC. Conversely, significantly lower levels of 8-oxoG were detected in FANCG-complemented FA-G cells. We conclude that the unknown function of FANCG involves at least transient interaction with cytoplasmic components, possibly including CYP2E1, and propose a role for FANCG in protection against oxidative DNA damage.

Ras genes are critical DNA targets for chemical carcinogens. We analysed the relationship between past occupational exposure to hydrocarbon solvents and mutations in codon 12 of the K-ras gene in 107 incident cases of EPC. Information on occupational factors and life-style was obtained from personal interviews conducted during hospital stay. Occupational exposure to hydrocarbon solvents (aliphatic, aromatic, chlorinated, benzene, other organic solvents) was examined using two methods: expert assessment and the Finnish job-exposure matrix (Finjem). Exposure among K-ras mutated EPC cases (n = 83) was compared with that of K-ras wild-type EPC cases (n = 24). An association between K-ras mutations and solvent exposure was observed with Finjem but barely so with the expert assessment. Over 7-fold increased odds ratios (OR) were found for every group of solvents evaluated with Finjem (all P < 0.05). On the basis of the expert assessment, K-ras mutations were significantly associated only with exposure to benzene in men (OR = 7.07, P < 0.05). When requiring exposure to have occurred according to both the experts and Finjem, over 4-fold risks were obtained for aromatic, aliphatic, and for `any hydrocarbon solvent'. A significantly higher proportion of cases with a mutation from glycine to valine (GGT-->GTT) or to aspartic acid (GGT-->GAT) were exposed to a hydrocarbon solvent. The results raise the possibility that hydrocarbon solvents might be involved in the pathogenesis of EPC, possibly through indirect modulation of K-ras activation. Since this is only the first study on occupational exposures and K-ras mutations in EPC, studies able to refute or to confirm the findings are required before public health implications, if any, are assessed.

Prior study showed that chronic arsenite exposure (500 nM, greater than or equal to18 weeks) induced malignant transformation in rat liver TRL 1215 cells. In the present work, these transformed cells were compared with passage-matched control cells. In addition, TRL 1215 cells were treated subchronically (up to 6 weeks) with arsenic (termed pre-transformed cells) to define events occurring prior to arsenic-induced transformation. Flow cytometry using annexin/FITC revealed that arsenic-induced apoptosis in transformed cells was markedly suppressed in comparison to control or pre-transformed cells. Ro318220, a strong activator of JNK, enhanced arsenite-induced apoptosis in transformed cells. Densitometric analysis of western blots revealed that the ratios of both Bcl-x(L)/Bax and Bcl-2/Bax were significantly increased (>2.5-fold) in arsenic-transformed cells. Transformed, pre-transformed and control cells were treated with arsenic and levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases, ERK1/2, JNK1/2 and p38 were determined by western blot analysis. The three mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) were phosphorylated in a dose-dependent fashion in all cell types. However, the levels of phosphorylated JNK1/2 were markedly decreased in the arsenic-transformed cells, whereas in pre-transformed cells the levels of phosphorylated MAPKs remained the same as in control cells. JNK kinase activity was suppressed in transformed cells whereas Ro318220 enhanced this activity. Thus, during arsenic-induced malignant transformation resistance to apoptosis develops, possibly due to perturbation of the JNK pathway.

Several of these chemicals were demonstrated to be carcinogenic in laboratory animal studies conducted by the Ramazzini Foundation (e.g., vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, styrene, styrene oxide, and benzene) and by the National Toxicology Program (e.g., ethylene oxide, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, chloroprene, acrylonitrile, glycidol, and benzene). The most common sites of tumor induction were lung, liver, harderian gland, and circulatory system in mice; Zymbal's gland and brain in rats; and mammary gland and forestomach in both species. Differences in cancer outcome among studies of epoxide chemicals may be related to differences in study design (e.g., dose, duration, and route of exposure; observation period; animal strains), as well as biological factors affecting target organ dosimetry of the DNA-reactive epoxide (toxicokinetics) and tissue response (toxicodynamics). N7-Alkylguanine, N1-alkyladenine, and cyclic etheno adducts, as well as K-ras and p53 mutations, have been detected in animals and/or workers exposed to several of these chemicals. The classifications of these chemical carcinogens by IARC and NTP are based on animal and human data and results of mechanistic studies. Reducing occupational and environmental exposures to these chemicals will certainly reduce human cancer risks. C1 NIEHS, Res Triangle Pk, NC 27709 USA.

Groups of 50 or more mice are assigned to control or treatment groups. Test substances are given at three dose levels by intubation, dietary or drinking water consumption, or dermal or inhalation exposure. Dosing starts at age 5-6 weeks and lasts for 2 years, when surviving animals receive a complete histopathologic examination. Statistical approaches accommodate survival differences and no longer require differentiation between fatal and incidental tumors. Photocarcinogenicity studies, employing SKH-1 hairless mice, evaluate onset of skin papillomas and incidences at 1 year. Top doses are chosen to expose animals to a minimally toxic challenge and lower doses to operate within the linear range of kinetics. This dosing allows comparison of results across studies. Bioassay and ancillary studies successfully identify tumor-causing agents in rodents, provide information on dose-response, and characterize other chemical-related toxicities. NTP and Ramazzini Foundation bioassay designs differ in several aspects, but bioassays at both institutions provide chemical-specific information for predicting human carcinogens, thus providing for protection of public health. Bioassays constitute an essential information reference set for new assay development and further investigations into mechanisms of action. The scientific community and the public owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr. Cesare Maltoni of the European Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences and to Dr. David P. Rail of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for their foresight and wisdom in creating and nurturing these bioassay programs.

Of these, 21 have been evaluated by both laboratories. The 14 chemicals for which both laboratories have designed, conducted, and reported bioassay results are: acrylonitrile, benzene, chlorine, diesel fuel, ethylbenzene, methylene chloride (dichloromethane), propylene, styrene, styrene oxide, toluene, trichloroethylene, trichloronuoromethane, vinylidene chloride, and xylenes. The other seven chemicals (two are fibers) were evaluated by both laboratories, but results have not vet been published. Results of these 14 interlaboratory studies were compared both to explore consistency of carcinogenic responses and to identify possible factors that may reveal reasons for any differences observed. Individual carcinogenesis results from each laboratory were duplicated and complementary. Of the 14 chemicals compared, 11 (80%) were either carcinogenic (9 chemicals) or noncarcinogenic (2 chemicals) in both studies. Eight of the paired chemicals had at least one carcinogenic target site in common. The other three were carcinogenic in one laboratory but not in the other. Possible explanations for these differences include dose, method of administration, duration of follow-up, and whether or not total tumors are counted. The collaboration between these two pioneering bioassay laboratory programs contributes greatly to our understanding of chemical carcinogenesis and results in better protection of workers and the general population from chemical diseases, especially cancers.

In our study published in 1998, we found that 100% of airway lesions 5mm in size or larger could be detected using a shape-based detection algorithm [4]. The specificity was 80%. This technology transferred readily to CT colonography, and in association with colleagues at Stanford University, we published a feasibility study showing that colonic polyps could be detected in a phantom model [5]. More recently, we published the first study of computer-aided polyp detection for CT colonography to appear in a peer-reviewed journal, in association with colleagues at Mayo Clinic [6]. These early results showed the feasibility of CT colonography computer-aided diagnosis. In addition, they suggested that computer-aided diagnosis might become an important pail of the radiologist's assessment of CT colonography studies.

Here we investigate the mechanism of both retraction and the 'C'-to-spot using Dictyostelium cells containing mutant forms of myosin that affect its polymerization. 3 x Asp-myosin forms few if any filaments. When 3 x Asp cells are added to a wild-type mound, the mutant cells move directionally, but rear retraction is markedly delayed, demonstrating that myosin II filaments are essential for efficient retraction. In addition, using a GFP-tagged 3 x Asp-myosin, we observed a posterior spot pattern associated with retraction, but no cortical 'C' pattern preceding it. This suggests that filamentous myosin is required to produce the 'C', and that its failure to form results in defective rear retraction. In contrast, an alternate mutant myosin that forms filaments constitutively, 3 x Ala-myosin, forms 'Cs' and then spot patterns at the posterior, but in the interim the spots do not disintegrate. This suggests that spot dissolution occurs by filament depolymerization. In summary our data demonstrate a role for myosin II and the 'C'-to-spot in efficient rear retraction, and define filament assembly as critical for formation of the 'C' and filament disassembly as critical for dissolution of the spot.

Amiloride, a competitive inhibitor of uPA, can inhibit endothelial cell (EC) outgrowth during angiogenesis. To address the question of whether amiloride blocked angiogenesis by inhibiting uPA, we undertook a study of uPA expression in sprouting EC in vitro and the effects of amiloride on both enzymatic and morphogenetic activity. As expected, amiloride inhibited soluble uPA (suPA) with an IC50 of 45-85 mum, however, receptor-bound uPA (rbuPA) from the sprouting EC was insensitive to amiloride. Removal of uPA from its receptors confers sensitivity to inhibition by amiloride suggesting that a reversible conformational change may mediate the insensitivity of rbuPA to amiloride and its analogs. In summary, we found no evidence to support the hypothesis that amiloride blocks capillary outgrowth by inhibition of uPA, but were able to successfully demonstrate a functional difference between two physiological forms of this important matrix-degrading enzyme.

Comparison of cells with either mutant p53 or wt p53 indicated that inhibition of p53-dependent transcription is necessary and sufficient for wt p53 accumulation. In addition to Mdm-2, p21 is required for effective p53 degradation. Transient inhibition of transcription resulted in initial downregulation of p21 and Mdm-2 leading to accumulation of wt p53. This was followed by induction of p21 and Mdm-2, normalization of p53 levels, and p21-dependent growth arrest. Although simultaneous induction of p53 and p21 could be detected by immunoblot, levels of p53 and p21 were discordant in individual cells. By inducing p21 and Mdm-2, p53 discriminates between transient and sustained inhibition of transcription. Transient inhibition results in p21-dependent growth, while sustained inhibition of transcription leads to p53-facilitated cell death. One can envision p53 as a physiological sensor of transcriptional integrity. Transient inhibition of p53-stimulated transcription by numerous stimuli including nucleotide depletion, hypoxia, UV light may be an prevalent mechanism of activation of wt p53 and its downstream pathways.

Drug sensitivity is mediated by ErbB2's kinase domain and occurs subsequent to the disruption of Hsp90 interaction with this domain. Full-length ErbB2 is efficiently processed via the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi network, so that at steady state most of the detectable protein is plasma membrane associated. However, previous studies have also demonstrated the GA sensitivity of newly synthesized ErbB2, normally a minor component of the total cellular pool of the kinase. Drug sensitivity of nascent ErbB2 is distinguished by 2 characteristics-protein instability and inability to traverse the ER. As nascent ErbB2 can associate with both cytoplasmic Hsp90 and its ER luminal homolog Grp 94, also a GA-binding protein, the purpose of this study was to examine the relative contributions of the cytoplasmic and ER luminal domains of ErbB2 to the GA sensitivity of the nascent kinase. By studying the drug sensitivity of ErbB2/DK, a construct lacking ErbB2's cytoplasmic kinase domain, and by examining the activity of a GA derivative that preferentially binds Hsp90, we conclude that both the stability and the maturation of nascent ErbB2 are regulated by its cytoplasmic, Hsp90-interacting domain.

Previous studies using viral vectors to deliver GDNF in rodent models of PD have entailed administering the virus either prior to or immediately after neurotoxin-induced lesions, when the nigrostriatal pathway is largely intact, a paradigm that does not accurately reflect the clinical situation encountered with Parkinson's patients. In this study, recombinant adeno-associated virus carrying the gene encoding GDNF (rAAV-GDNF) was administered to animals bearing a maximal lesion in the nigrostriatal system, more closely resembling fully developed PD. Rats were treated with 6-hydroxydopamine into the medial forebrain bundle and assessed by apomorphine-induced rotational behavior for 5 weeks prior to virus administration. Within 4 weeks of a single intrastriatal injection of rAAV-GDNF, unilaterally lesioned animals exhibited significant behavioral recovery, which correlated with increased expression of dopaminergic markers in the substantia nigra, the medial forebrain bundle, and the striatum. Our findings demonstrate that rAAV-GDNF is capable of rescuing adult dopaminergic neurons from near complete phenotypic loss following a neurotoxic lesion, effectively restoring a functional dopaminergic pathway and diminishing motoric deficits. These data provide further support for the therapeutic potential of rAAV-GDNF-based gene therapy in the treatment of PD. C1 Med Univ S Carolina, Dept Physiol & Neurosci, Charleston, SC 29425 USA.

The purpose of the present experiment was to produce kidney cell lines that secrete GDNF. Genes encoding two truncated N-terminal fragments of SV40 large T antigen, T155, and T155c, which does not code for small t antigen, were used. T155g was transduced into E17 cultured fetal Sprague-Dawley rat kidney cortex cells using a plasmid vector, and T155c was transduced with a plasmid and a retroviral vector. Sixteen clones were isolated from cultures transfected with the T155g-expressing plasmid. No cell lines were obtained with T 155c. Four clones produced GDNF at physiological concentrations ranging from 55 to 93 pg/ml of medium. These four clones were transplanted into the ischemic core or penumbra of rats that had undergone middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Three of the four clones reduced the volume of infarction and the behavioral abnormalities normally resulting from MCAO. Blocking experiments with antibodies to GDNF and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) suggested that these growth factors contributed only minimally to the reduction in infarct volume and behavioral abnormality. These cell lines may be useful for intracerebral transplantation in animal models of brain injury, stroke, or Parkinson's disease.

Thus, large-scale, parallel gene-expression studies, made possible by advances in microarray technologies, have shown insights into the connection between specific genes, or sets of genes, and human diseases. The compulsive use of addictive substances despite adverse consequences continues to affect society, and the science underlying these addictions in general is intensively studied. Pharmacological treatment of drug and alcohol addiction has largely been disappointing, and new therapeutic targets and hypotheses are needed. As the usefulness of the pharmacotherapy of addiction has been limited, an emerging potential, yet controversial, therapeutic agent is the natural alkaloid ibogaine. We have continued to investigate programs of gene expression and the putative signaling molecules used by psychostimulants such as amphetamine in in vivo and in vitro models. Our work and that of others reveal that complex but defined signal transduction pathways are associated with psychostimulant administration and that there is broad-spectrum regulation of these signals by ibogaine. We report that the actions of methamphetamine were similar to those of cocaine, including the propensity to alter long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus of the rat brain. This action suggests that there may be a "threshold" beyond which the excessive brain stimulation that probably occurs with compulsive psychostimulant use results in the occlusion of LTP. The influence of ibogaine on immediate early genes (IEGs) and other candidate genes possibly regulated by psychostimulants and other abused substances requires further evaluation in compulsive use, reward, relapse, tolerance, craving and withdrawal reactions. It is therefore tempting to suggest that ibogaine signals addiction gene products. C1 William Paterson Univ, Dept Biol, Wayne, NJ 07470 USA.

The powerful addictive properties of METH are mediated by release of dopamine (DA) from nerve terminals in mesolimbic reward pathways. METH stimulates DA release by acting as a substrate for DA transporter (DAT) proteins, thereby triggering efflux of DA from cells into the synapse. We have shown that blocking DAT activity with high-affinity DA uptake inhibitors, like GBR12909, can substantially reduce METH-evoked DA release in vitro, suggesting GBR12909 may have potential as a pharmacotherapy for METH dependence. The purpose of the present study was to examine the neurobiological effects of a long-acting oil-soluble preparation of GBR12909 (1-[2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]-4-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl) piperazinyl decanoate, or GBR-decanoate). Male rats received GBR-decanoate (480 mg/kg, i.m.) or its oil vehicle, and were tested using a variety of methods one and two weeks later. Ex vivo autoradiography showed that GBR-decanoate decreases DAT binding in DA-rich brain regions. In vivo microdialysis in the nucleus accumbens revealed that GBR-decanoate elevates baseline levels of extracellular DA and antagonizes the ability of METH to evoke DA release. The dopaminergic effects of GBR-decanoate were sustained, lasting for at least two weeks. Rats pretreated with GBR-decanoate displayed enhanced locomotor responses to novelty at one week, but not two weeks, postinjection. Administration of the D-2/D-3 receptor agonist quinpirole (10 and 100 mug/kg, s.c.) decreased locomotor activity and suppressed plasma prolactin levels; quinpirole-induced responses were not altered by GBR-decanoate. Thus, GBR-decanoate is able to elevate basal synaptic DA levels and block METH-evoked DA release in a persistent manner, without significant perturbation of DA receptor function. The findings suggest that GBR-decanoate, or similar long-acting agents, should be evaluated further as potential treatment adjuncts in the management of METH addiction in humans.

According to the dual-deficit model, DA dysfunction during withdrawal underlies anhedonia and psychomotor disturbances, whereas 5-HT dysfunction gives rise to depressed mood, obsessive thoughts, and lack of impulse control. The model suggests that medications capable of normalizing stimulant-induced DA and 5-HT deficits should be effective treatment adjuncts. Furthermore, the model may explain why medications targeting only one neurotransmitter system (i.e., DA) have failed to treat cocaine dependence. Amphetamine-type appetite suppressants are logical choices for neurochemical normalization therapy of stimulant dependence, yet few clinical studies have tested anorectics in this regard. The chief purpose of the present work is to profile the activity of various anorectic agents at DA, 5-HT, and NE transporters, in order to identify possible medications for stimulant dependence. Compounds were tested in vitro for their ability to stimulate release and inhibit uptake of [H-3]DA, [H-3]NE, and [H-3]5-HT. Selected compounds were tested in vivo for their ability to elevate extracellular levels of DA and 5-HT in rat nucleus accumbens. The results show that clinically available appetite suppressants display a wide range of activities at monoamine transporters. However, no single medication possesses equal potency at DA and 5-HT transporters, suggesting that none of the anorectics is ideally suited for treatment of stimulant addictions. Future efforts should focus on developing new medications that possess the desired therapeutic activity but lack the adverse effects associated with older amphetamine-type anorectics.

Methamphetamine is a psychostimulant that induces dopamine overflow from dopamine terminals of the striatum. Mice were given four injections of methamphetamine (7.5 mg/kg of body weight) at two-hour intervals and were sacrificed three days after the treatment. Dopamine transporter levels in the striatum were assessed by receptor autoradiography with [I-125]RTI-121. Exposure to methamphetamine resulted in significant loss of dopamine transporters in the caudate-putamen. This loss was prevented by preexposure (30 min before the first injection of methamphetamine) of the neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist L-733,060. The inactive enantiomer of L-733,060 (L-733,061) failed to protect dopamine transporter sites from methamphetamine, suggesting specificity for the neurokinin-1 receptor. Moreover, the protective effect of L-733,060 was observed in mice that were 10 weeks of age or older (dopamine transporter sites in mice six and eight weeks old were not protected from methamphetamine by the neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist). The results demonstrate that the deleterious effect of methamphetamine on dopamine transporter sites of the striatum is mediated via the neurokinin-1 receptor. The involvement of the NK-1 receptor appears after the eighth week of postnatal life, suggesting that the link between dopamine transporters and the neurokinin-1 receptor becomes functional at approximately the time when the mouse reaches reproductive age.

Altered metabolism of betaAPP, resulting in increased Abeta production, appears central in the neuropathology of AD. The processing of the holoprotein betaAPP by different "secretase" enzymes results in three major carboxyl-truncated species. One species, which results from the cleavage of betaAPP by gamma-secretase, is secreted into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is called sAPPgamma as it contains an intact Abeta domain. Moreover, AD is characterized by cholinergic dysfunction and the loss of synaptic proteins. Reports of an inverse relation between nicotine intake, due to cigarette smoking, and the incidence of AD prompted us to investigate the effects of nicotine on betaAPP processing and synaptic proteins in rats and in cell culture. Nicotine, 1 and 8 mg/kg/day, doses commensurate with cigarette smoking, and a higher but well tolerated dose, respectively, was administered over 14 days to rats. Levels of sAPP in the CSF sample were evaluated by Western blot analysis. The higher dose significantly increased levels of total sAPP; however, both doses significantly reduced sAPPgamma, which contains the amyloidogenic portion of Abeta. These actions were blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonism. Nicotinic antagonists alone had no effect on either total sAPP or sAPPgamma levels in CSF. Nicotine did not significantly change the intracellular levels of total betaAPP in rat brain extracts, which is consistent with neuronal cell culture data. Similarly, levels of vesicular protein, such as synaptophysin, and presynaptic terminal protein sNAP-25 were unaffected by nicotine treatment both in vivo and in cell culture experiments. Taken together, these results suggest that nicotine modifies betaAPP processing away from the formation of potentially amyloidogenic products, without altering the levels of synaptic proteins, and that this can potentially offer therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease.

Each of these cysteines can be mutated individually to alanine or serine without loss of functional expression in transfected HEK293 cells. Yet sequential exchange starting from the amino terminal end of three or more cysteines results in reduced transport activity and surface expression. As more and more cysteines are replaced, transport activity and surface expression decrease in parallel, and the cysteineless mutant exhibits only traces of Na+/Ca2+ exchange activity and surface expression. No significant differences are detected in the amount of total cell exchanger protein between the wildtype exchanger and its functional or nonfunctional cysteine mutants. Reduced surface expression of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger NCX1 is also observed when HEK293 cells expressing the transporter are treated with cyclosporin A (CsA) or with PSC833. The reductions in transport activity and surface expression are concentration dependent and parallel. No reduction is obtained in the total amount of exchanger protein by CsA or PSC833 treatment, suggesting that the effects of these drugs on NCX1 expression are posttranslational. FK506 and rapamycin treatment of HEK293 cells expressing rat NCX1 isoforms has no effect on transport activity, surface expression, or the total amount of exchanger protein in the transfected cells.

By contrast, the PM Ca2+ pump (PMCA) is more uniformly distributed in the PM. At presynaptic nerve terminals, the NCX distribution is consistent with that observed in the neuronal somata, but the PMCA is clustered at the active zones. Thus, the PMCA, with high affinity for Ca2+ (K-d approximate to100 nM), may keep active zone Ca2+ very low and thereby "reprime" the vesicular release mechanism following activity. NCX, with lower affinity for Ca2+ (K-d approximate to1,000 nM), on the other hand, may extrude Ca2+ that has diffused away from the active zones and been temporarily sequestered in the endoplasmic reticulum. The PL microdomains that contain the NCX also contain Na+ pump high ouabain affinity alpha2 (astrocytes) or alpha3 (neurons) subunit isoforms (IC50 approximate to5-50 nM ouabain). In constrast, the alpha1 isoform (low ouabain affinity in rodents; IC50 >10,000 nM), like the PMCA, is more uniformly distributed in these cells. The sub-PM endoplasmic reticulum in neurons (and probably glia and other cell types as well) and the adjacent PM form junctions that resemble cardiac muscle dyads. We suggest that the PM microdomains containing NCX and alpha2/alpha3 Na+ pumps, the underlying jER, and the intervening tiny volume of cytosol (<10(-18) 1) form functional units (PLasmERosomes); diffusion of Na+ and Ca2+ between these cytosolic compartments and "bulk" cytosol may be markedly restricted. The activity of the Na+ pumps with alpha2/alpha3 subunits may thus regulate NCX activity and jER Ca2+ content. This view is supported by studies in mice with genetically reduced (by approximate to50%) alpha2 Na+ pumps: evoked Ca2+ transients were augmented in these cells despite normal cytosolic Na+ and resting Ca2+ concentrations ([Na+](CYT) and [Ca2+](CYT)). We conclude that alpha2/alpha3 Na+ pumps control PLasmERosome (local) [Na+](CYT). This, in turn, via NCX; modulates local [Ca2+](CYT), jER Ca2+ storage, Ca2+ signaling, and cell responses.

Manipulations that attenuate this increase in cytosolic Ca2+ reduce myocyte death and dysfunction. The increase in cytosolic Ca2+ during ischemia is dependent on an increase in intracellular Na+, suggesting a role for Na/Ca exchange. Typical ischemic values for ionized intra- and extracellular N+, Ca2+, and membrane potential are consistent with the Na/Ca exchanger operating near equilibrium during ischernia. Studies were undertaken using hearts from mice that overexpress the Na/Ca exchanger to determine if Na/Ca exchanger overexpression enhances or reduces ischemic injury. These studies suggest that overexpression of the Na/Ca exchanger enhances injury in males, but females are protected by a gender-related mechanism.

Viral recombinant vaccines based on E1-deleted adenovirus or vaccinia virus recombinants expressing p53 with wild-type sequences in the mutational hotspot domain and a single mutation in the tetramerization domain (p53(mu338)) failed to induce protection against progression of this tumor cell line. A DNA vaccine expressing a form of p53 carrying the same point mutations as the tumor cell line showed low efficacy that was comparable to that of a DNA vaccine expressing p53(mu338). Efficacy of the DNA vaccine was augmented upon expressing p53(mu338) as a fusion protein linked to a viral leader sequence. Other modifications such as fusion to the signal sequence of the lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) or ubiquitin failed to improve the efficacy of the vaccine to p53. Protection mediated by CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells was specific for p53. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved. C1 Wistar Inst Anat & Biol, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) has two of these specialized systems, which are encoded on separate Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPI-1 and SPI-2) and translocate unique sets of effectors. The specific roles of these systems in Salmonella pathogenesis remain undefined, although SPI-1 is required for bacterial invasion of epithelial cells and SPI-2 for survival/replication in phagocytic cells. However, because SPI-1 TTSS mutants are invasion-incompetent, the role of this TTSS in post-invasion processes has not been investigated. In this study, we have used two distinct methods to internalize a non-invasive SPI-1 TTSS mutant (invA) into cultured epithelial cells: (i) co-internalization with wild-type S. Typhimurium (SPI-1-dependent) and (ii) complementation with the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis invasin (inv) gene (SPI-1-independent). In both cases, internalized invA mutants were unable to replicate intracellularly, indicating that SPI-1 effectors are essential for this process and cannot be complemented by wild-type bacteria In the same cell. Analysis of the biogenesis of SCVs showed that vacuoles containing mutant bacteria displayed abnormal maturation that was dependent on the mechanism of entry. Manipulation of Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV) biogenesis by pharmacologically perturbing membrane trafficking in the host cell increased intracellular replication of wild-type but not mutant S. Typhimurium This demonstrates a previously unknown role for SPI-1 in vacuole biogenesis and intracellular survival in non-phagocytic cells.

Design: Prospective observer study, in which 18 thin-section helical CT scans of the trachea and bronchi of 11 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis were obtained. VB was performed using surface rendering and was evaluated by one bronchoscopist and one radiologist in a blinded fashion. Bronchoscopic correlation within an average of 1.8 days of CT was available. Measurements and results: VB displayed 188 of 198 bronchi (95%). Thirty-two of 40 stenoses (80%) were detected by VB by at least one of two physicians (double reading), and 22 of 40 stenoses (55%) were detected by a third physician reading only the CT. Conclusions: VB depicts bronchi to the segmental level and detects the majority of central airway stenoses in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. A team approach is useful to attain optimal clinical benefit from VB for these patients. C1 NIH, Warren Grant Magnuson Clin Ctr, Dept Diagnost Radiol, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

There is a growing interest in the roles of serine protease inhibitors, or serpins, as key regulators of their activity. We have cloned two neuroserpin cDNAs from a rat pituitary cDNA library and confirmed tissue plasminogen activator as a potential target for this inhibitor. We show that neuroserpin transcripts are expressed by endocrine cells in the adrenal and pituitary glands and that immunoreactive neuroserpin is stored in densely cored secretory granules in these cells. Overexpression of neuroserpin in an anterior pituitary corticotroph cell line results in the extension of neurite-like processes, suggesting that neuroserpin may play a role in cell communication, cell adhesion, and/or cell migration.

Here we present evidence that chromogranin A (CgA), one of the most abundant acidic glycoproteins ubiquitously present in neuroendocrine/endocrine cells, regulates dense-core secretory granule biogenesis. Specific depletion of CgA expression by antisense RNAs in PC12 cells led to a profound loss of secretory granule formation. An exogenously expressed prohormone, pro-opiomelanocortin, was neither stored nor secreted in a regulated manner in CgA-deficient PC12 cells. Overexpression of bovine CgA into CgA-deficient PC12 cells rescued regulated secretion. Other secretory granule proteins, such as chromogranin B (CgB), carboxypeptidase E, and synaptotagmin, were rapidly degraded, whereas nongranule proteins were not affected in CgA-deficient PC12 cells. Unlike CgA, another granin protein CgB could not substitute for the role of CgA in secretory granule biogenesis. Thus, we conclude that CgA is a master "on/off" switch regulating the formation of the dense-core secretory granule in neuroendocrine cells.

The mechanism of sorting POMC and PE to the RSP in neuroendocrine cells was investigated. Consensus sorting signals comprising two acidic residues and two hydrophobic residues exposed on the surface of N-POMC1-26 and N-PE1-32 were identified and shown to be sufficient and necessary for targeting POMC and PE to the RSP in PC12, Neuro2a, and AtT-20 cells. The acidic residues of these sorting signals bind specifically to basic residues on the sorting receptor membrane, carboxypeptidase E (CPE), to effect sorting to the RSP. Analysis of POMC and PE sorting in Neuro2a cells depleted of CPE by CPE antisense RNA, and Cpe(fat/fat) mouse pituitary cells lacking CPE showed missorting of both these molecules to the constitutive pathway in vivo. Thus, POMC and PE are sorted to the RSP at the TGN by a mechanism involving the interaction of a specific sorting signal on these molecules with the sorting receptor, CPE.

In particular, PACAP stimulates catecholamine biosynthesis as well as the expression of various genes, including chromogranin A, neuropeptide Y, enkephalins, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and PACAP itself. The mechanisms involved in the effects of PACAP on chromaffin cells have been investigated using rat pheochromocytoma PC 12 cells. This cell line turned out to be a suitable model in which to study the neurotrophic activities of PACAP. Recent studies using transgenic mice have shown that in the sympathoadrenal system, PACAP acts as an "emergency response" cotransmitter involved in the regulation of insulin-induced hypoglycemia.

Two neuropeptides whose biosynthesis is regulated by PACAP include enkephalin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). Occupancy of PAC1 PACAP receptors on chromaffin cells can result in elevation of cyclic AMP, inositol phosphates, and intracellular calcium. The proenkephalin A and VIP genes are transcriptionally responsive to signals generated within all three pathways, and potentially by combinatorial activation of these pathways as well. The characteristics of PACAP regulation of enkephalin and VIP biosynthesis were examined pharmacologically for evidence of involvement of several serine/threonine protein kinases activated by cAMP, IP3, and/or calcium, including calmodulin kinase II, protein kinase A, and protein kinase C. Evidence is presented for the differential involvement of these protein kinases in regulation of enkephalin and VIP biosynthesis in chromaffin cells, and for a prominent role of the mixed-function (tyrosine and serine/threonine) MAP kinase family in mediating transcriptional activation of neuropeptide genes by PACAP.

It is unclear whether time-averaged past BP measures incrementally improve CVD risk assessment. Methods and Results-We used sex- and age-specific multivariable Cox regression to evaluate the association of current BP (at baseline), recent antecedent BP (average of readings for all available examinations I to 10 years before baseline), and remote antecedent BP (average for all available examinations I I to 20 years before baseline) with the 10-year risk of CVD in 2313 Framingham Study subjects (910 men, 1403 women) free of CVD at baseline. During follow-up, 899 incident initial CVD events were observed (479 in women). In multivariable models incorporating established CVD risk factors, recent and remote antecedent BP predicted CVD risk incrementally over current BP. This effect was consistent in multiple subgroups: men and women, older and younger age groups, and lower and higher BP groups. The relations of antecedent BP to CVD risk were consistent for systolic BP, diastolic BP, and pulse pressure. Conclusions-Antecedent BP is an important determinant of future risk of CVD events above and beyond current BP. When available, use of long-term average BP may improve the prognostic utility of conventional CVD risk prediction that is based on current BP. Our findings suggest that effective prevention of CVD requires adequate control of BP throughout life. C1 Framingham Heart Dis Epidemiol Study, Natl Heart Lung & Blood Inst, Framingham, MA 01702 USA.

Infection of MCF-7 cells with the retroviral vector containing ABCG2 cDNA (G1-ABCG2) resulted in cells (MCF-7/ABCG2) that were resistant to mitoxantrone at levels similar to those observed in MCF-7/MitoR cells. Previous studies have shown that pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells overexpress the multidrug-resistant transport (MDR1) gene and efflux rhodamine, a substrate for the MDR1 transporter. Other studies have identified a primitive hematopoietic stem cell population, or side population (SP) cells, which are identified by their efflux of the fluorescent dye, Hoechst 33342. In an attempt to identify the transport genes responsible for this phenotype, we examined the uptake of Hoechst 33342 into MCF-7, MCF-7/MitoR, and MCF-7 cells infected with a retroviral vector expressing the ABCG2 gene (MCF-7/ABCG2). MCF-7/MitoR cells as well as MCF-7/ABCG2 cells demonstrated lower levels of Hoechst 33342 uptake compared with the parental MCF-7 cells. We also examined the level of the mouse Bcrp1 RNA in SP cells and non-SP cells isolated from mouse hematopoietic cells. Mouse SP cells expressed relatively high levels of Bcrp1 mRNA relative to non-SP cells. These results suggest that Hoechst 33342 is a substrate for the ABCG2 transporter and that ABCG2/Bcrp1 expression may serve as a marker for hematopoietic stem cells in hematopoietic cells.

One strategy to enhance the immunogenicity of a self-antigen such as PSA is to develop agonist epitopes that are potentially more immunogenic. The studies described here report the design and analysis of an agonist epitope designated PSA-3A ("A" for agonist) of the PSA-3 CTL epitope. Studies demonstrate that when compared with the native PSA-3 epitope, the PSA-3A agonist demonstrates enhanced binding to the MHC class I A2 allele as well as enhanced stability of the peptide-MHC complex. T-cell lines generated with either the PSA-3 or the PSA-3A peptide showed higher levels of lysis of targets pulsed with the PSA-3A peptide than those targets pulsed with the PSA-3 peptide; this was observed when both the concentration of peptide and the ratio of effector to target cells were titrated. T cells stimulated with dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with PSA-3A peptide produced higher levels of IFN-gamma than did DCs pulsed with PSA-3 peptide; however, no increase in apoptosis was seen in T cells stimulated with the PSA-3A agonist compared with those stimulated with PSA-3. Human T-cell lines generated with the PSA-3A agonist had the ability to lyse human prostate carcinoma cells expressing native PSA in an NHC-restricted manner. Recombinant vaccinia viruses were also constructed that contained the entire PSA transgene with and without the single amino acid change that constitutes the PSA-3A epitope; DCs infected with the recombinant vector containing the agonist amino acid change within the entire PSA gene (designated rV-PSA-3A) were more effective than DCs infected with the rV-PSA vector in enhancing IFN-gamma production by T cells. Finally, the PSA-3A agonist was shown to induce higher levels of T-cell activation, compared with the PSA-3 peptide, in an in vivo model using HLA-A2.1/K-b transgenic mice. These studies thus demonstrate the potential use of the PSA-3A agonist epitope in both peptide- and vector-mediated immunotherapy protocols for prostate cancer.

Bioavailability of the micronized formulation relative to a gelatin capsule (gelcap) formulation was assessed. The effects of food intake and timing on CAI steady-state plasma concentrations (C-ss) were also investigated. Experimental Design: Patients received continuous daily CAI (28-day cycles). Starting dose was 150 mg/m(2) daily and escalations were by 50 mg/m(2) increments. The first three patients enrolled were given test doses of the original gelcap formulation and two different micronized formulations to determine relative bioavailability. Toxicity and pharmacokinetic assessments were performed weekly. Additional cohorts were added after MTD) determination to assess the effect of food intake and duration of fast on CAI C-ss. Results: The micronized formulation was absorbed more slowly than the gelcap formulation. Twenty-nine patients were enrolled in the dose-escalation portion of the study. After dose escalation to 300 mg/m(2), dose-limiting neurotoxicities occurred including reversible vision loss in two patients. Other toxicities were mild. The final MTD was 150 mg/m(2). Pharmacokinetics appeared linear with significant inter- and intrapatient variability. Patients with C-ss of greater than or equal to 4.0 mg/liter were more likely to have neurotoxicity. Nine patients with renal cell cancer and one with hepatocellular cancer had prolonged stable disease. CAI plasma concentrations were higher when taken with food. Conclusions: Micronized CAI was well tolerated at the MTD of 150 mg/m(2). Higher doses were limited by significant neurotoxicity. The variability in CAI pharmacokinetics may be partially attributable to concomitant food intake and timing of the dose.

To address these issues, we reconstituted Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO-K1) cells with various components of the IL-4R by transient transfection and performed internalization assays using radiolabeled IL-4. Radiolabeled IL-4 internalized through the IL-4Ralpha chain in a time-dependent manner. When the IL-4Ralpha chain was cotransfected with the IL-13Ralpha1 or -gamma(c) chain, the IL-4 internalization level was identical to IL-4Ralpha transfectants, suggesting that the IL-4Ralpha chain plays a major role in IL-4 internalization. These results were confirmed by determining the cytotoxicity of a chimeric protein composed of IL-4 and a mutated form of Pseudomonas exotoxin [IL4(38-37)-PE38KDEL] in CHO-K1 cells transfected with increasing concentrations of IL-4Ralpha cDNA. To use the internalization property of the IL-4Ralpha chain in the context of IL-4R-targeted cytotoxin therapy, we transiently transfected pancreatic and brain tumor cells with IL-4Ralpha chain. Surprisingly, these tumor cells acquired 4-75-fold higher binding activity to IL-4 compared with control cells. Consequently, the cytotoxic activity of IL-4 toxin to these cancer cells was enhanced 5-13-fold compared with control cells as assessed by protein synthesis inhibition and clonogenic assays. Taken together, a combination approach that involves transfer of the IL-4Ra, gene and IL-4R-targeted cytotoxin therapy may serve as a novel approach for cancer therapy.

Early work defined the molecular and biological properties of thyroxinebinding prealbumin (TBPA). Its tetrameric structure, first recognized from a polymorphism in monkeys, was later elaborated by crystallographic studies, and the very different affinity of its two identical thyroxinebinding sites was explained by an allosteric effect upon occupation of the first site. The far higher concentration of TBPA in cerebrospinal fluid compared to blood was explained by the discovery, 30 years later, that TBPA is synthesized by cells of the choroid plexus, and its rapid turnover in the body made TBPA a convenient marker of malnutrition and chronic disease. Late in the 1960s it was learned that TBPA also carries vitamin A in the circulation by interacting with retinolbinding protein (RBP). TBPA then was renamed transthyretin (TTR), in recognition of its dual transport function, and it was shown that retinolRBPTTR interactions are mutually enhancing. Investigation of the molecular genetics of TTR began in 1980 and a large number of inherited variants were discovered in the ensuing years. Some affect thyroxine and/or RBP binding but the majority are associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy. Seizing on this discovery, structural biologists are now investigating why mutated TTR changes from a compact, soluble molecule into a fibrillar, insoluble polymer, and how this pathological transformation might be prevented.

This report presents the first analysis of the nm23-H1 promoter to identify sites which can increase its transcription. Deletion mapping of a 2.1 kb nm23-H1 promoter fragment tethered to a reporter gene identified three regions involved in its differential expression levels among a panel of human breast carcinoma cell lines: a 195 bp NheI-XbaI fragment responsible for basal expression levels, a 248 bp AvrII-NheI fragment which contributed to the elevated nm23-H1 expression observed in the high expressing cell lines, and a 544 bp AvrII fragment containing an inhibitory element. Examination of the 248 bp AvrII-NheI fragment revealed the unexpected presence of three transcription factor binding sites (MAF/Ets, CTF/NF1 half site and ACAAAG enhancer) previously identified in the MMTV-LTR, and in WAP and milk gene promoters, proposed to mediate mammary-specific gene expression. Mutation of the three sites, individually or together, resulted in two-fold reductions in reporter gene expression. As controls, the same panel of mutations caused a different pattern of reporter gene expression in a non-mammary cell line, and mutation of another nearby site was without effect on nm23-H1. Our data identify a complex regulatory pattern for nm23-H1 transcription, and suggest that a mammary-specific cassette of transcription factors contribute to its elevated expression C1 NCI, Womens Canc Sect, Pathol Lab, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Microarray analysis technology has the potential to classify tumors based on the differential expression of genes. In the current study, a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach was utilized to study the molecular determinants of human uveal melanoma invasion and metastasis. Uveal melanoma is considered the most common primary intraocular cancer in adults, resulting in the death of approximately 50% of patients affected. Unfortunately, at the time of diagnosis, many patients already harbor microscopic metastases, thus underscoring a critical need to identify prognostic markers indicative of metastatic potential. The investigative strategy consisted of isolating highly invasive vs. poorly invasive uveal melanoma cells from a heterogeneous tumor derived from cells that had metastasized from the eye to the liver. The heterogeneous tissue explant MUM-2 led to the derivation of two clonal cell lines: MUM-2B and MUM-2C. Further morphological and functional analyses revealed that the MUM-2B cells were epithelioid, interconverted (expressing mesenchymal and epithelial phenotypes) highly invasive, and demonstrated vasculogenic mimicry. The MUM-2C cells were spindle-like, expressed only a vimentin mesenchymal phenotype, poorly invasive, and were incapable of vasculogenic mimicry. The molecular analysis of the MUM-2B vs. the MUM-2C clones resulted in the differential expression of 210 known genes. Overall, the molecular signature of the MUM-2B cells resembled that of multiple phenotypes - similar to a pluripotent, embryonic-like genotype. Validation of select genes that were upregulated and down-regulated was conducted by semiquantitative RT-PCR measurement. This study provides a molecular profile that will hopefully lead to the development of new molecular targets for therapeutic intervention and possible diagnostic markers to predict the clinical outcome of patients with uveal melanoma.

Critical signaling messages can be initiated through cell-cell and cell-substratum contact, as well as using autocrine and paracrine activation. Cancer cells are known for their flexibility and autocrine functions, however, they still rely on a battery of important signaling events. The interaction between the tumor cell and the stroma provides an important signaling milieu and target zone for molecular therapeutic intervention. It is now recognized that malignant invasion requires that interaction for optimal signaling and function. New technologies are now available to allow more rapid dissection of these pathways and characterization of unique regulatory sites for therapeutic gain.

SO CLINICAL GENETICS LA English DT Article DE Gaucher disease; glucocerebrosidase; lysosomal storage disease; mutation; polymorphism ID GLUCOCEREBROSIDASE GENE; PSEUDOGENE; TYPE-1 AB Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the gene for human glucocerebrosidase, a lysosomal enzyme involved in the intracellular hydrolysis of glucosylceramide. While over 150 different glucocerebrosidase mutations have been identified in patients with Gaucher disease, not all reported mutations have been fully characterized as being causative. One such mutation is the E326K mutation, which results from a G to A nucleotide substitution at genomic position 6195 and has been identified in patients with type 1, type 2 and type 3 Gaucher disease. However, in each instance, the E326K mutation was found on the same allele with another glucocerebrosidase mutation. Utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening and restriction digestions of both patients with Gaucher disease and normal controls, we identified the E326K allele in both groups. Of the 310 alleles screened from patients with Gaucher disease, the E326K mutation was detected in four alleles (1.3%). In addition, screening for the E326K mutation among normal controls from a random population revealed that three alleles among 316 screened (0.9%) also carried the E326K mutation. In the normal controls with the E326K allele, the glucocerebrosidase gene was completely sequenced, but no additional mutations were found, Because the E326K mutation may be a polymorphism, we caution that a careful examination of any allele with this mutation should be performed to check for the presence of other glucocerebrosidase mutations.

We describe a female patient homozygous for a 4-bp deletion in exon 5 of IFNGR1 (561del4) who developed postvaccinal disseminated Bacille Calmette-Guerin infection. She was born to unrelated Argentinean parents, each of whom was heterozygous for this mutation. 561del4 has been previously described as a maternally inherited mutation in a compound heterozygous German patient. By single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of the areas surrounding the deletion, we showed the independent inheritance of 561del4 in three heterozygous carriers. Polypurine runs and "direct repeats," previously shown to be associated with areas of recurrent small deletions, were found in the flanking region of 561del4. The independent inheritance of three identical mutational events defines 561del4 as a new hotspot in the IFNGR1 gene. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science. C1 Hosp Garrahan, Buenos Aires, DF, Argentina.

However, there is substantial controversy concerning optimal diagnostic criteria for these IFIs. Therefore, members of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group formed a consensus committee to develop standard definitions for IFIs for clinical research. On the basis of a review of literature and an international consensus, a set of research-oriented definitions for the IFIs most often seen and studied in immunocompromised patients with cancer is proposed. Three levels of probability are proposed: "proven," "probable," and "possible." The definitions are intended for use in the context of clinical and/or epidemiological research, not for clinical decision making.

Whether the other predominant Ang II receptor, the type 2 Ang II receptor (AT(2)R), has a fibrotic or sparing role in adult human renal tissue is unknown. Materials and methods: We used the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to assess intragraft AT(2)R mRNA expression in biopsy samples from 23 renal transplant recipients. Potential correlations between intragraft AT(2)R mRNA, matrix-modulating genes and histologic evidence of chronic rejection were assessed. Results: AT(2)R mRNA was confirmed by sequence analysis of the RT-PCR product. AT(2)R mRNA expression directly correlated with angiotensinogen (Spearman correlation coefficient (r(s)) 0.72; p = 0.0011) mRNA expression, and interestingly, AT(2)R mRNA inversely correlated with inflammatory gene expression in the biopsy samples. However, AT(2)R mRNA directly correlated with transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-beta) (r(s) 0.59; p = 0.044), matrix metalloproteinase-I (MMP- 1) (r(s) 0.83; p = 0.001), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) (r(s) 0.74; p = 0.001) and TIMP-3 (r(s) 0.80; p = 0.001) mRNA expression. Moreover, AT(2)R mRNA and protein expression was significantly greater in the patients with biopsy-proven chronic allograft nephropathy (n = 9; p = 0.045 vs. no chronic allograft nephropathy and donor biopsy samples for mRNA analyses). Conclusions: These data demonstrate that AT(2)R mRNA is expressed in adult human renal tissue in the setting of renal transplantation. Its apparent association with matrix-modulating genes raises the hypothesis that AT(2)R mRNA expression may be linked with extracellular matrix regulation in the setting of chronic allograft nephropathy.

Patients develop skin cancer because of unrepaired DNA damage produced by the ultraviolet radiation (UV) in sunlight. Many XP children also develop XP neurological disease (ND), consisting of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and a primary neuronal degeneration of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Since the harmful UV in sunlight cannot reach the nervous system, the cause of the death of XP neurons has been hypothesized to result from the inability to repair their DNA that has been damaged by endogenous metabolites. Progressive XP ND originating in an adult has been identified in only a single case. Although clinically asymptomatic at the age of 47 years, the patient had audiometric evidence of a developing mild SNHL together with elicited signs and electrophysiologic evidence of a peripheral neuropathy. She died of metastatic endocervical adenocarcinoma at 49 years of age. We describe here the neuropathological findings in this patient, including examination of the inner ear. Despite clinical evidence of SNHL, there were no anatomic abnormalities of the inner ear. However, the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) showed ongoing neuronal loss. Our findings indicate that XP ND originating in this adult is, like XP ND in children, a primary neuronal degeneration that manifests first in the peripheral nervous system.

One possibility is increased cardiac work related to the sympathoneural or adrenomedullary hormonal responses. In awake human volunteers, the present study assessed the effects of mild core hypothermia on these responses, and on the associated changes in indices of cardiac work. A total of 11 healthy men were studied on two separate days. On one day, core temperature (T-c) was decreased by the intravenous infusion of cold normal saline (4 degreesC; 60 ml/kg over 30 min) through a central venous catheter. On the other day (normothermic control), warm normal saline (37 degreesC; 60 ml/kg over 30 min) was given intravenously. Transthoracic echocardiograms, the sympathoneural response (noradrenaline) and the adrenomedullary response (adrenaline) were evaluated before, during and after the intravenous infusions. Echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular function and cardiac output. Compared with the normothermic control treatment, core cooling of 0.7 degreesC was associated with increased plasma noradrenaline (220% increase; P = 0.001), whereas adrenaline, cardiac output, heart rate and the rate-pressure product were unchanged. After core cooling of 1.0 degreesC, increases in noradrenaline (by 230%; P = 0.001), adrenaline (by 68%; P = 0.05), cardiac output (by 23%; P = 0.04), heart rate (by 16%; P = 0.04) and rate-pressure product (by 25%; P = 0.007) were all significant compared with the normothermic control treatment. In conclusion, there is a T, threshold, below which an adrenomedullary (adrenaline) response is triggered in addition to the sympathoneural (noradrenaline) response. This T-c threshold (1 degreesC below the normothermic baseline) is also associated with an increase in haemodynamic indices of cardiac work. Mild core hypothermia therefore constitutes a catecholamine-mediated cardiovascular 'stress test'. C1 Johns Hopkins Med Inst, Dept Anesthesia & Crit Care Med, Baltimore, MD 21287 USA.

Hormonal therapy (HT) is often used to treat hormone receptor-positive MBC, with the primary treatment goal of reducing both disease burden and patient suffering. Objective: This article reviews the instruments used to assess QOL in patients with breast cancer, the adverse effects of HTs, and the clinical trials that assess QOL in patients with MBC receiving various HTs. Methods: Articles were identified for inclusion in this manuscript through the following searches, limited to English-language publications: MEDLINE (mid 1960s to January 2002), American Society of Oncology abstracts (1997-2001), and San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium abstracts (2001 and 2002). The following search terms were used: quality of life, breast cancer, hormonal therapies, tamoxifen, toremifine, letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, and megestrol acetate. Conclusions: QOL assessment following MBC treatment has become an important indicator of treatment effectiveness, and numerous clinical trials have studied the impact of HT on QOL. In general, the older HTs, such as the progestins and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), produce more adverse effects than do the newer HTs, such as the aromatase inhibitors (AIs) and estrogen receptor (ER) antagonists. QOL data regarding tamoxifen, a SERM associated with a high incidence of vasomotor symptoms and vaginal discharge, are limited, although tamoxifen has not been associated with significant psychological distress when administered as a chemopreventive or adjuvant MBC therapy in clinical trials. QOL studies comparing the third-generation AIs with tamoxifen or megestrol acetate show that the AIs produce a more favorable QOL, probably because these agents target the aromatase enzyme, which results in a lower incidence of thromboembolism and vaginal bleeding. Although QOL studies of the ER antagonist fulvestrant have not been conducted, several attributes of this new HT may contribute to the retention of a good QOL in patients with MBC. A variety of QOL-assessment tools to measure the impact of HTs on patients with MBC are available. Clinical trial data regarding QOL in patients with MBC receiving HT will be useful for both clinicians and patients in evaluating treatment options and developing treatment strategies.

In many BSE and MBSE infected lemurs, but not in animals inoculated with normal bovine brain, persistent behavioral changes occurred as early as 3 months, and neurological signs as early as 13 months after infection. Immunohistochemical examination of animals sacrificed during the incubation period revealed an abnormal accumulation of 'prion' protein (PrP) in the intestinal wall, intestinal nervous plexus, mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen, and in the clinical stage, also in the brain. In MBSE-inoculated animals, proteinase K resistance of the PrP (PrPres) was confirmed by Western blot in the spleen and the brain. Obvious signs of neurodegeneration were observed in all infected animals characterized by hyperaggregated and paired-helical filaments-immunoreactive Tau proteins, beta42-amyloid plaques and astrogliosis. Additionally, PrPres was present in the ganglion cells of the retina in diseased animals after either intracerebrally or oral infection by the BSE or MBSE agent. These results show that the microcebe is susceptible to the BSE infectious agent via intracerebral and oral routes with comparatively short incubation periods compared to simians, and could be a useful animal model to study the pathophysiology of disease transmission in primates.

It is commonly believed that statistical potentials based on reduced atomic models are better able to discriminate native-like from misfolded decoys than scoring functions based on more detailed molecular mechanics models. Recent benchmark tests, however, suggest otherwise. Further analysis of the effectiveness of all atom molecular mechanics scoring functions for detecting misfolded decoys and direct comparison with results obtained using a statistical potential derived for a reduced atomic model are presented in this report. The OPLS all-atom force field is used as a scoring function to detect native protein folds among the Park & Levitt large decoy sets. Solvent electrostatic effects are included through the Surface Generalized Born (SGB) model. The OPLS potential with SGB solvation (OPLS-AA/SGB) provides good discrimination between native-like structures and non-native decoys. Rom an analysis of the individual energy components of the OPLS-AA/SGB potential for the native and the best-ranked decoy, it is determined that a roughly even balance of the terms of the potential is responsible for distinguishing the native from the misfolded conformations. Different combinations of individual energy terms provide less discrimination than the total energy. The effects of scoring decoys using several dielectric models are compared also. With the SGB solvation model, close to 100% of the structures with energies within 100 kcal/mol of the native state minimum are native-like. In contrast, only 20% of the low energy structures are found to be native-like when a distance dependent dielectric is used instead of SGB to model solvent electrostatic effects. The results are consistent with observations that all-atom molecular potentials coupled with intermediate level solvent dielectric models are competitive with knowledge-based potentials for decoy detection and protein modeling problems such as fold recognition.

First, Golgi cells were specifically eliminated in transgenic mice in which Golgi cells expressed human interleukin-2 receptor alpha subunit (IL2Ralpha). Injection of exotoxin coupled to anti-IL2Ralpha antibody in the cerebellum of the transgenic mouse eliminated Golgi cells and abolished GABA and synaptic inhibition in the granular layer. After elimination of Golgi cells, acute severe ataxia and subsequent mild motor discoordination were observed. In the latter chronic phase, NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic response was reduced in granule cells. Our findings indicate that elimination of GABAergic inhibition in the granular layer caused overexcitation of granule cells resulting in severe ataxia, and then NMDA receptors in granule cells were downregulated, compensating for the reduction of GABAergic inhibition and improving motor control. In the second part, we report on the regulation mechanism of synaptic plasticity at inhibitory synapses on Purkinje cells (PCs). Inhibitory synaptic transmission on a PC is potentiated after repetitive PC depolarization. This synaptic plasticity (rebound potentiation, RP) was suppressed when a presynaptic neuron was activated during the PC depolarization. This synaptic regulation is unique in the sense that the homosynaptic activity suppresses the induction of synaptic plasticity. The mechanism of how presynaptic activity suppresses RP was examined. GABA released from the presynaptic terminal activated not only GABA(A) receptor but also GABA(B) receptor. The latter was coupled to Gi/o proteins, which downregulated adenylyl cyclase reducing cAMP and inactivated cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Downregulation of PKA suppressed RP induction.

Our proposition explains the molecular basis of cold denaturation, and of intermediate states in heat and their absence in cold denaturation. The exposure of non-polar surface reduces the entropy and enthalpy of the system, at low and at high temperatures. At low temperatures the favorable reduction in enthalpy overcomes the unfavorable reduction in entropy, leading to cold denaturation. At high temperatures, folding/unfolding is a two-step process: in the first, the entropy gain leads to hydrophobic collapse, in the second, the reduction in enthalpy due to protein-protein interactions leads to the native state. The different entropy and enthalpy contributions to the Gibbs energy change at each step at high, and at low, temperatures can be conveniently explained by a two-state model of the water structure. The model provides a clear view of the dominant factors in protein folding and stability. Consequently, it appears to provide a microscopic view of the hydrophobic effect and is consistently linked to macroscopic thermodynamic parameters.

Thanks to the discovery of tumor-associated antigens (TAA) and the consequent development of active-specific immunization protocols, TAA-specific T-cell responses can now be induced reproducibly in cancer patients. However, clinical responses directly ascribable to TAA-specific T cells occur only occasionally. It is not clear why TAA-specific T cells do not eliminate tumor cells in vivo. This paradoxical coexistence of antigen-bearing tumor cells and antigen-specific T cells constitutes a critical point of current investigation. In recent years, protein-ligand interaction-based methods aimed at the identification and characterization of T cells using antibodies (cell surface phenotyping, intracellular and secreted cytokine detection), or HLA-peptide multimers, have significantly improved the analysis of TAA-specific T cells. These methods, however, seem to have reached the limit of their usefulness. Transcriptional analysis may add sensitivity and resolution and may provide global pictures of the multifactorial. requirements for an efficient immune response against tumors. In this review, we describe the use of molecular genetic methods, such as real time qRT-PCR, cDNA microarrays, and TCR repertoire analysis. In addition, we describe techniques for high-fidelity messenger RNA amplification that allow high-throughput analysis of samples obtained from minimal sources, such as HLA/peptide tetramer sorted antigen-specific T cells, laser capture dissection, or fine needle aspirates. Recent work discussed in this review summarizes the complementarity of transcriptional analysis as an essential tool that, in addition to conventional methods, may deepen and broaden the characterization of tumor-specific T cells.

In addition to regulating normal cell cycle progression decisions, p21(WAF1) integrates genotoxic insults into growth arrest and apoptotic signaling pathways that ultimately determine cell fate. As a result of its complex interactions with cell cycle machinery and response to mutagenic agents, p21(WAF1) also has stage-specific roles in epithelial carcinogenesis. Finally, a view is emerging of p21(WAF1) as not merely a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, but also as a direct participant in regulating genes involved in growth arrest, senescence, and aging, thus providing an additional layer of control over matters of the cell cycle. This review discusses these various roles played by p21(WAF1) in cell cycle control, and attempts to relate these to epithelial cell biology, with special emphasis on keratinocytes.

TI Natural Products and Derivatives as Leads to Cell Cycle Pathway Targets in Cancer Chemotherapy SO CURRENT CANCER DRUG TARGETS LA English DT Article AB The influence of natural products upon drug discovery in general has been quite impressive; one only has to look at the number of clinically active drugs that are in use in cancer therapy to see how many either are natural products or have a natural product pharmacophore. What is now becoming quite apparent is that materials from natural sources are excellent probes (indicators) for cellular targets that when modulated, may well have a deleterious effect upon the cycling of a tumor cell through the conventional cell cycle. If the particular target is not expressed in normal cell cycling, then a directed "perturbation" of the tumor cell's cycle may well lead to a novel method of treatment for specific tumor types. In this review we have not attempted to be exhaustive but have given a current overview of how natural products from marine, microbial and plant sources have permitted in-depth analyses of various parts of the cell cycle under varying conditions with the ultimate aims of attempting to "control or perturb" the cycling of tumor cells in a fashion that permits their ultimate removal via cellular death, with a minimum of trauma to the host.

The two polymorphic probes, N-acetyltransferases-2 (NAT2) and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19), were respectively used in HIV+/AIDS patients and patients with advanced cancer. The results of the studies suggest that advanced disease produces discordances between genotype and phenotype, indicating a reduction in the metabolic capabilities of these individuals. Thus, polymorphic enzymes such as CYP2C19 and NAT2 can be used to probe changes in drug-metabolizing enzyme capacities. The development of genotype/phenotype discordances should reflect general changes in metabolic capabilities and, thus, alterations in the activities of other important enzymes such as CYP3A. The data also suggest that the genotype/phenotype probes can be used to optimize the clinical treatment of patients with advanced disease states.

However, with the expanding armamentarium of therapeutic options that do not affect reproductive function, it is anticipated that more vasculitis patients will entertain the possibility of conception and consider the outcomes of pregnancy. Relevant issues include the effects of the vasculitis on pregnancy, the effects of the pregnancy on vasculitic disease activity, and the impact of medications used during the peripartum period. Although available data are limited and fall short in many regards, there is support for successful outcomes of pregnancy when conception occurs in disease remission. Maternal and fetal outcome is optimized by the establishment of a multidisciplinary team that can provide preconception evaluation and counseling followed by frequent monitoring throughout the pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Preclinical studies have shown that the epothilones are more potent than the taxanes and active in some taxane-resistant models. Similar to paclitaxel and other taxanes, the epothilones block cells in mitosis, resulting in cell death. The chief components of the fermentation process are epothilones A and B, with epothilones C and D found in smaller amounts. Trace amounts of other epothilones have also been detected. Pre-clinical studies have shown that epothilone B is the most active form, exhibiting significantly higher antitumor activity than paclitaxel and docetaxel. Several phase I and phase It clinical trials are ongoing with epothilone B and BMS 247550, an epothilone B analog. Preliminary reports indicate these agents are active against human cancers in heavily pretreated patients. The epothilones appear to be well tolerated, with a side effect profile that is similar to that reported with the taxanes. This article will review some basic aspects of epothilone chemistry and biology, and pre-clinical and preliminary clinical experience with epothilone B and its analog, BMS 247550.

The "danger" model of immunity describes antigen-specific cellular immunity engendered by an inflammatory milieu. Dendritic cells (DCs) are attracted to this microenvironment, undergoing maturation after internalizing apoptotic and necrotic cellular debris. Mature DCs mediate antigen-specific cellular immunity via presentation of processed antigen to T cells. Administration of radiation has been utilized in vitro and in vivo to create an inflammatory setting, via induction of apoptosis, necrosis, cell surface molecules, and secretory molecules. Caspase-mediated cellular apoptosis is induced by radiation through multiple signaling pathways. Radiation upregulates expression of immunomodulatory surface molecules (MHC, costimulatory molecules, adhesion molecules, death receptors, heat shock proteins) and secretory molecules (cytokines, inflammatory mediators) in tumor, stromal, and vascular endothelial cells. Results of animal studies indicate possible radiation-mediated modulation of tumor antigen-specific immunity. Experimental data could indicate that the radiation-induced "danger" microenvironment engenders a DC-mediated antigen-specific immune response. Further enhancement of radiation-mediated inflammation and cell death can be achieved via administration of radiosensitizing pharmaceuticals. Radiation-mediated immune modulation currently remains unquantified and poorly understood. A major research effort will be required to elucidate mechanisms of action. With a thorough understanding of this phenomenon, we believe that ionizing radiation could be optimized for use with cancer vaccines and generate turner antigen-specific cellular immunity.

Mutated Ras oncogenes encoding proteins that are constitutively active can induce malignancies in a variety of laboratory models. In human malignancies, Ras mutations are common, having been identified in approximately 30% of cancers. Given the importance of Ras and downstream targets Raf and MEK in the development of malignancies and their frequent expression in human cancers, it is not surprising that a variety of agents disrupting signaling through Ras and downstream proteins are under development. These agents can be broadly classified structurally as small molecules and anti-sense oligonucleotides. They can be characterized functionally as those inhibiting Ras protein expression such as the oligodeoxynucleotide ISIS 2503, those inhibiting Ras processing, in particular the farnesyl transferase inhibitors R1 15777, SCH 66336 and BMS 214662, and those inhibiting downstream effectors Raf, such as ISIS 5132 and MEK, which is inhibited by CI-1040. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advances in the development of these agents. C1 NCI, Canc Therapy Evaluat Program, Rockville, MD 20852 USA.

These effects are mediated through a specific class of plasma membrane receptors called P2 receptors that, according to the molecular structure, are further subdivided into two subfamilies: P2Y and P2X. Specifically, P2X-receptors are ligand-gated ion channels, whereas P2Y-receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors. In this review, we focus our attention to GPCRs molecular architecture, with the special emphasis on our work on the human P2Y(1) receptor. In fact, despite an enormous amount of research on the structure and function of these receptors, fundamental understanding of the molecular details of ligand/GPCR interactions remains very rudimentary. How agonist binding transforms a resting GPCR into its active form and the microscopic basis of binding site blockade by an antagonist are generally still unclear. In the absence of high-resolution structural knowledge of GPCRs, such questions only can be addressed by building models, which are tested through pharmacological and biochemical studies. In this review, we underline how different molecular modeling approaches can help the investigation of both receptor architecture and ligand/receptor molecular recognition.

In this study, we describe a new, unusually large gene on chromosome 7p12.3, ABCA13. This gene spans over 450 kb and is split into 62 exons. The predicted ABCA13 protein consists of 5,058 amino acid residues making it the largest ABC protein described to date. Like the other ABCA subfamily members, ABCA13 contains a hydrophobic, predicted transmembrane segment at the N-terminus, followed by a large hydrophilic region. In the case of ABCA13, the hydrophilic region is unexpectedly large, more than 3,500 amino acids, encoded by 30 exons, two of which are 4.8 and 1.7 kb in length. These two large exons are adjacent to each other and are conserved in the mouse Abca13 gene. Tissue profiling of the major transcript reveals the highest expression in human trachea, testis, and bone marrow. The expression of the gene was also determined in 60 tumor cell lines and the highest expression was detected in the SR leukemia, SNB-19 CNS tumor and DU-145 prostate tumor cell lines. ABCA13 has high similarity with other ABCA subfamily genes which are associated with human inherited diseases: ABCA 1 with the cholesterol transport disorders Tangier disease and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia, and ABCA4 with several retinal degeneration disorders. The ABCA 13 gene maps to chromosome 7p12.3, a region that contains an inherited disorder affecting the pancreas (Shwachman-Diamond syndrome) as well as a locus involved in T-cell tumor invasion and metastasis (INM7), and therefore is a positional candidate for these pathologies.

Both isoforms are predicted to have two ATP-binding domains (nucleotide binding domain, NBD) and two transmembrane (TM) domains, features shared by all other ABCA subfamily proteins. ABCA12 is most closely related to ABCA1, with an amino acid similarity of 47%. Northern blot analysis demonstrates that a 9.5-kb transcript is mainly expressed in the stomach. ABCA12 was mapped to human chromosome 2q34. Two other genes from ABCA subfamily are associated with human inherited diseases, ABCA1 with the cholesterol transport disorders Tangier disease and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia, and ABCA4 with several retinal degeneration disorders. The ABCA12 gene is located in a region of chromosome 2q34 that harbors the genes for lamellar ichthyosis, polymorphic congenital cataract, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM 13), and therefore is a positional candidate for these pathologies.

In this study we report the analysis of SIL (SCL interrupting locus) as a candidate gene for HPE. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using a BAC 246e16 confirmed the assignment of SIL to 1p32. Computational analysis of SIL at the protein level revealed a 73% overall identity between the human and murine proteins. Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) techniques were used to screen for mutations and these studies identified several common polymorphisms but no disease-associated mutations, suggesting that SIL is not a common factor in HPE pathogenesis in humans.

In this study, the genomic structure and expression patterns of Ugrp2 and its alternative spliced form were characterized. The authentic Ugrp2 gene has three exons and two introns, similar to the Ugrp1 gene, which produces a secreted protein. The Ugrp2 variant uses a sequence located between authentic exons 1 and 2, resulting in a cytoplasmic form due to a termination codon within the inserted sequence. Both mouse and human UGRP2 mRNAs are expressed in lung. In the case of human, the mRNA is expressed at the highest level in trachea, followed by salivary gland at a level similar to lung. Weak expression was also found in fetal lung and mammary gland. Ugrp2 was mapped by fluorescence in situ hybridization to mouse chromosome 11A5-B1 and human chromosome 5q35. These regions are known to be homologous. Interspecific mouse backcross mapping was also performed to obtain further detailed localization of mouse Ugrp1 and Ugrp2.

Farmacotherapy to prevent or treat CMV reaction and infection is only partially effective, and has considerable toxicity. Adoptive transfer of ex vivo generated CMV specific T cells is a new approach to the management of Of CMV post-allo-SCT Methods A comprehensive review, of the published literature describing 1) the recovery of CMV immunity post-allo-SCT and 2) new strategies for the production of Of V specific T cells for adoptive immunotherapy. Results CMV specific T cells can be generated using a variety of systems comprising different antigen presenting cells and antigens. Discussion The ability to raise CMV specific T cells on a clinical scale will have a major impact on the management of CMV post-allo-SCT, but will have to be compared to current pharmacological approaches. Further the raising of CMV specific T cells may serve as a model, to generate other antigen specific T cells including other anti-viral and anti-tumor T cells.

Methods Frequencies of T cells producing cytokines after stimulation by CMV Ag were measured in hematopoietic stem-cell donors using flow cytometry. Results In seropositive individuals (n = 75) the mean number of CD8(+) (CD8(bright), CD8(dim)) and CD4(+) cells producing IFN-gamma was respectively 3.1% (12.6 /muL) and 0.38% (3.2/muL), over 10-fold higher than in seronegative subjects (n = 22). CMV stimulation induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells (usually together), with a shift from memory- to effector-cell phenotype, while only a small proportion of CD4(+) cells produced IL-4. Although the normal range was wide, neither age, sex nor HLA type affected the frequency. Discussion These quantitative studies and the recognition of CD4(+) cells as potential effectors of CMV immunity are of relevance for immunotherapeutic approaches to prevent CMV disease after stem-cell transplantation.

Our goal was to develop data on two variables monocyte-enrichment method and culture container, which could be used to design a closed-system process for ex vivo generation of immature DCs. Methods Mononuclear cells were collected by leukapheresis and enriched for monocytes by either counterflow centrifugal elutriation, or immunomagnetic selection using Isolex, an automated closed-system device. Monocytes were cultured for 7 days in serum-free medium with GM-CSF and IL-4, using either plastic flasks or gas-permeable Stericell bags. Monocytes and cultured DCs were evaluated for yield flow cytometric phenotype, and in vitro function in MLR, and autologous recall responses to tetanus toxoid and influenza virus. Results Enriched monocyte products from elutriation and immunomagnetic selection were equivalent in yield and purity, and were capable of generating immature DCs in either flasks or bags. DCs from all jour culture conditions were equivalent in yield, phenotype, and in vitro function. Mean DC yield was 67-80% per seeding monocyte, and 11-13% per starting mononuclear cell (MNC). A leukapheresis product containing 5 x 10(9) MNCs processed by this method could therefore yield approximately 5 x 10(8) immature DCs. Discussion In this manufacturing process, the Isolex system was equivalent to elutriation,and Stericell bags were equivalent to flasks. Together, the Isolex system and Stericell bags can be incorporated into a closed-system process to generate immature DCs.

Fifty-two outpatients, who met DSM-III-R criteria for bipolar disorder, were randomly assigned in a double-blind design to an intended 1 year of treatment with lithium or carbamazepine, a crossover to the opposite drug in the second year; and theca to a combination of both agents in the third year. For each patient, the LCM-p was initiated upon admission and was continued on a daily basis. Overall therapeutic effect for each phase (intended year) was assessed by using the Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar Version (CGI-BP) scale. Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used to examine the detailed course-of-illness variables derived from the LCM-p (e.g., percentage of time ill, average severity of illness, episodes per year, and mood switches per year) in relation to the global assessments of treatment response (CGI-BP). Most of the individual LCM-p-derived illness variables varied significantly (P < .05) as a function of global treatment response. Since global ratings of the degree of improvement can represent very different proportions of improvement in percentage of time ill, average severity of mania or depression, or. frequency of manic and depressive episodes, the LCM-p provides the basis for a comprehensive description of both the illness course and the response to treatment. The LCM-p appears to have considerable utility in clinical trials of pharmacological and other interventions of bipolar disorder. It provides a detailed characterization of the severity, frequency, and duration of manic and depressive episodes, which facilitates the assessment of global improvement and allows for the quantification of separate components of the illness, which are or are not responsive to a given treatment.

Data were drawn from the National Comorbidity Survey (n = 8,098), a representative sample of adults of age 18-54 years in the United States. Sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric comorbidity, and panic symptomotology associated with three clinically derived panic subtypes (early-onset, agoraphobia, and dyspnea) were compared using two-way ANOVA and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Among those with panic attacks in the community, 51.2% bad early-onset, 32.6% bad agoraphobia, and 64.4% bad dysthymia. Significant differences in sociodemographic characteristics, psychiatric comorbidity, and panic symptomotology emerged between the three groups. Early-onset panic was associated with significantly increased likelihood of bipolar disorder and substance dependence but was not distinguished from the other two subtypes by panic symptoms. Panic attack with agoraphobia was associated with significantly higher odds of several comorbid anxiety disorders, and panic with dyspnea was more common among married females with less education and high levels of comorbid alcohol and depressive disorders. These data suggest that clinically derived panic subtypes are generalizable and may be associated with several unique sociodemographic and psychiatric correlates in the general population. Observed differences between these subtypes may influence results from clinical samples. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. C1 Columbia Univ, Coll Phys & Surg, Dept Psychiat, New York, NY USA.

Although high levels of erythropoietin receptor are produced in embryonic brain, the role of erythropoietin during brain development is uncertain. We now provide evidence that erythropoietin acts to stimulate neural progenitor cells and to prevent apoptosis in the embryonic brain. Mice lacking the erythropoietin receptor exhibit severe anaemia and defective cardiac development, and die at embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5). By E12.5, in addition to apoptosis in foetal liver, endocardium and myocardium, the erythropoietin receptor null mouse shows extensive apoptosis in foetal brain. Lack of erythropoietin receptor affects brain development as early as E10.5, resulting in a reduction in the number of neural progenitor cells and increased apoptosis. Corresponding in vitro cultures of cortical cells from Epor(-/-) mice also exhibited decreases in neuron generation compared with normal controls and increased sensitivity to low oxygen tension with no surviving neurons in Epor(-/-) cortical cultures after 24 hour exposure to hypoxia. The viability of primary Epor(+/+) rodent embryonic cortical neurons was further increased by erythropoietin stimulation. Exposure of these cultures to hypoxia induced erythropoietin expression and a tenfold increase in erythropoietin receptor expression, increased cell survival and decreased apoptosis. Cultures of neuronal progenitor cells also exhibited a proliferative response to erythropoietin stimulation. These data demonstrate that the neuroprotective activity of erythropoietin is observed as early as E10.5 in the developing brain, and that induction of erythropoietin and its receptor by hypoxia may contribute to selective cell survival in the brain.

We report the identification and analysis of a new par gene, par-5. We show that par-5 is required for asynchrony and asymmetry in the first embryonic cell divisions, normal pseudocleavage, normal cleavage spindle orientation at the two-cell stage, and localization of P granules and MEX-5 during the first and subsequent cell cycles. Furthermore, par-5 activity is required in the first cell cycle for the asymmetric cortical localization of PAR-1 and PAR-2 to the posterior, and PAR-3, PAR-6, and PKC-3 to the anterior. When PAR-5 is reduced by mutation or by RNA interference, these proteins spread around the cortex of the one-cell embryo and partially overlap. We have shown by sequence analysis of par-5 mutants and by RNA interference that the par-5 gene is the same as the ftt-1 gene, and encodes a 14-3-3 protein. The PAR-5 14-3-3 protein is present in,gonads, oocytes, and early embryos, but is not asymmetrically distributed. Our analysis indicates that the par-5 14-3-3 gene plays a crucial role in the early events leading to polarization of the C. elegans zygote. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science.

We investigate the functional role of Itih-4 in liver formation, regeneration (LR) and examine its role in calcium and hyaluronic acid binding. Itih-4 expression is prominent in early liver development at E9 and later at E16 being restricted to hepatoblasts, immature hepatocytes, and differentiated hepatocytes. We note a marked and differential increase in Itih-4 labeling in proliferating hepatocytes, compared with bile duct cells in liver explant cultures treated with interleukin-6 (IL-6). After partial hepatectomy, maximal Itih-4 expression occurs in a bimodal manner at 30 min and at 12 hr, with a predominant centrizonal distribution. There is no detectable binding of glutathione transferase-fusion Itih-4 protein to calcium and hyaluronic acid, indicating a possible requirement for posttranslational modifications for these functions. These results suggest that in LR, Itih-4 expression corresponds to that of immediate early genes and may contribute to the entry of normally quiescent hepatocytes into the early stages of the cell cycle. The markedly high expression of Itih-4 in early liver development and in explants treated with IL-6 suggests a prominent role for Itih-4 at key points in liver formation. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - Of the 4,549 Strong Heart Study participants examined at baseline, 3,638 returned for a similar examination after an average of 4 years. The 1985 World Health Organization criteria for diabetes were used to identify new diabetes cases. Rates of diabetes among participants who did not have diabetes at baseline examination were determined. The relationships between the incidence rates of diabetes and a number of risk factors measured at baseline examination were studied. RESULTS - Significant variables associated with the development of diabetes included triglycerides, obesity, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and degree of American Indian blood among participants With NGT at baseline. For those with IGT at baseline, significant predictors included fasting plasma glucose, 2-h glucose, BMI, degree of American Indian blood, and albuminuria. CONCLUSIONS - The high incidence rates found in this study were alarming. To slow down the rapid increase of this disease in the American Indian population, preventive programs must be designed and implemented. Patients with IGT should be treated with diabetes medication or put on a rigid weight-reduction program to reduce the risk of progression to diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - in this cross-sectional study, 460 men and women with PAD (147 with diabetes) were recruited from three academic medical centers. Assessments included ankle brachial index (ABI), neuropathy score, 6-min walk distance 4-m walking velocity, Walking Impairment Questionnaire (0-100 scale, 100 = best), and summary performance score (SPS) (0-12 scale, 12 = best). RESULTS - The mean ABI was similar in PAD patients with and without diabetes. PAD patients with diabetes were younger, had a higher BMI, had a worse neuropathy score, and had a greater number of cardiovascular comorbidities compared with those without diabetes. Participants with diabetes were less likely to report classical symptoms of intermittent claudication and more likely to report exertional leg pain, which sometimes started at rest. After adjusting for age, those with diabetes had a shorter mean 6-min walk distance (1,040 vs. 1,168 feet, P < 0.001), slower fast-pace 4-m walk velocity (0.83 vs. 0.90 m/sec, P < 0.001), and a lower SPS (7.3 vs. 8.6, P < 0.001) than those without diabetes. Patients with diet-controlled diabetes performed better than those on diabetes medications. Differences in lower extremity functioning between patients with and without diabetes were largely attenuated but not abolished for SPS and fast-pace 4-m walk velocity after adjustment for type of exertional leg pain, neuropathy score, and number of cardiovascular comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS - Subjects with PAD and diabetes have poorer lower extremity function than those with PAD alone. This difference in functioning appears to be largely explained by diabetes-associated neuropathy, differences in exertional leg symptoms, and greater cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes.

Smears, cytospins, cell blocks, and, monolayer preparations have all been used in various published studies; thus, there is no consistency in the immunostaining process for cytology to compare with the surgical pathology "gold standard" results. We sought to evaluate optimal specimen preparation for the immunostaining of effusion samples. Fourteen reactive,and 15 malignant effusion samples (various epithelial/inesothelial neoplasms) were each prepared in three forms: air-dried cytospins (postfixed in ethanol), formalin -fixed, paraffin -embedded cell blocks, and liquid-based thin-layer (ThinPrep(TM), CYTYC, Boxborough, MA) processing. All slides were immunostained with antibodies commonly used in effusion cytology: HBME-1, calretinin, E-cadherin, BerEP4, B72.3, LeuM1, and CA19-9. Cytospin and ThinPrep samples performed in a similar manner: high background staining it-as encountered in 66% of cases, most evident in three-dimensional clusters of cells. In addition, membrane staining patterns were difficult to interpret. Cell blocks provided the best milieu for morphologic interpretation, with less background staining (only 17% of Cases) and results that most closely approximated those reported in the surgical pathology literature. The cost per test for cell block immunocytochemistry was also the most economical for our laboratory. Published 2002 Wiley-Liss. Inc.(dagger). C1 NCI, Cytopathol Sect, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Most of the cases reported to date were associated with adenocarcinoma and acute or chronic pancreatitis. We here present an 88-year-old man who was admitted to our institution with a nonfunctional neuroendocrine carcinoma of the pancreas. He subsequently developed pancreatic panniculitis and arthritis. Treatment with octreotide did not have an effect neither on progression of the carcinoma nor on development of new skin lesions. Two months after the diagnosis of pancreatic panniculitis had been made, the patient died from progressing carcinoma. A review of the literature shows that there is no congruent hypothesis for the pathogenesis of pancreatic panniculitis. Vascular damage seems to induce lipolysis by pancreatic enzymes. This eventually leads to fat necrosis. The diversity of disorders that can go along with pancreatic panniculitis suggests an unspecific damage of pancreatic tissue as a first step in the chain of events. Copyright (C) 2002 S.

Since the up-regulation appears to be one of the candidate processes of sensitization, it is necessary to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanism of the GNB1 gene regulation for a better understanding the establishment of sensitization. In the present study, we describe the isolation and nucleotide sequence analysis of the GNB1 gene promoter region. We have isolated approximately 10kb of the 5'-flanking region of the mouse of GNB1 gene and found potential elements involved in putative transcriptional control of the GNB1 such as AP1, AP2, Sp1, cyclic AMP response element, and nuclear factor kappaB recognition sites, within the sequences 0.3 kb upstream from the putative transcription start site. This region was highly rich in G + C content, but lacked TATA or CATT boxes. Comparing the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA clone with the human genome databases using the BLAST program a region containing putative exon 1 and promoter of the human GNB1 gene in chromosome 1 was found. The cloning and sequence analysis of an extensive portion of the 5-flanking regulatory region of the GNB1 gene provides new insights into the factors involved in the regulation by psychostimulants of GNB1 expression.

The results of clinical studies have been inconclusive. Neuroimaging studies offer a quantitative approach. In patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown volume reductions ipsilateral to the epileptic focus in hippocampal and extrahippocampal regions; the former, in cross-sectional studies, increase with increasing epilepsy duration. Other factors associated with increasing hippocampal atrophy include a history of complex or prolonged febrile seizures, and generalized tonic-clonic seizure number. Positron emission tomography (PET) has shown supporting results. However, these studies have been cross-sectional rather than longitudinal. Preliminary results from prospective imaging studies using fluorodeoxyglucose PET and volumetric MRI show that patients with more recent seizure onset are less likely to have hypometabolism or volume loss than those with a long history of epilepsy. Alternate interpretations of these data include a possible progressive effect of epilepsy, or a tendency for patients with structural or functional findings at seizure onset to be more likely to develop uncontrolled epilepsy. In addition to the human studies that have been performed, parallel investigations in animal models using some of the same imaging techniques may help to unravel the factors associated with neuronal injury due to seizures, and aid in interpreting results of clinical studies.

This system consists of automated processes to extract the article title, author names, affiliations and abstract, and manual workstations for the entry of other required fields such as pagination, grant support information, databank accession numbers and others needed for a completed bibliographic record in MEDLINE. Labor and time data are given for (1) a wholly manual keyboarding process to create the records, (2) an OCR-based system that requires all fields except the abstract to be manually input, and (3) a more automated system that relies on document image analysis and understanding techniques for the extraction of several fields. It is shown that this last, most automated, approach requires less than 25% of the labor effort in the first, manual, process. C1 Natl Lib Med, Bethesda, MD 20894 USA.

Forty-five HIV negative (HIV-) cocaine abusers, 36 HIV positive (HIV+) cocaine abusers (CD4; mean 378, +/-229) and 27 control HIV- subjects were studied. Blood flow velocity and pulsatility were determined for the anterior and middle cerebral arteries using transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD). Psychological assessments, which included the psychiatric symptom checklist (SCL-90R), hopelessness (Beck) and well-being (Ellison) questionnaires revealed greater psychiatric distress in HIV+ cocaine abusers than the other groups. HIV - cocaine abusers and HIV+ cocaine abusers not receiving antiviral medications (n = 25 of 36) had elevated pulsatility values, indicating increased resistance in the cerebral blood vessels in comparison to control subjects. HIV+ cocaine abusers using antiviral medications (n = 11 of 36) had pulsatility values similar to HIV- control subjects, Interestingly, there was no significant relationship between intensity of psychiatric distress reported by HIV+ cocaine abusers and perfusion deficits. Our findings suggest that unmedicated HIV+ cocaine abusers have cerebrovascular deficits, which are similar to HIV- cocaine abusers. In addition, the use of antiviral medications appears to be associated with a reduction of these deficits in HIV+ cocaine abusers. Nevertheless, more studies will be needed before any conclusion can be reached regarding possible beneficial effects of these agents on the cerebral vasculature.

In the present study, 73 highly stable methadone maintenance patients were randomly assigned to either a routine methadone treatment, MMM - a once monthly reporting schedule - at the methadone maintenance program or MMM at a physician office. A 'stepped care' intensified treatment approach was used for patients who had drug-positive urine specimens or failed the medication recall procedure. Patients left two urine specimens for analysis each month (at least one on a random basis) and responded to one medication recall each month. Results are presented for the first 6 months of the 1-year trial. Only 1% of urine specimens were positive for illicit drugs, there was no evidence of methadone diversion and there were very low rates of medication misuse, with no between group differences. MMM patients initiated more new employment or family/social activities than the routine care patients. MMM patients were more satisfied with their treatment than the routine treatment patients, but all patients rated themselves satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment. Stepped care was well-tolerated and helped match patients to an appropriate intensity of service. The good outcomes observed with the present sample suggest that MMM can be implemented effectively as part of a continuum of care in clinic and office-based sites.

To date, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been the most successful therapeutic approach for lysosomal storage disorders. ERT reverses systemic manifestations of Gaucher disease but does not effectively treat the neurological complications. Recently, ERT produced a reduction of severe neuropathic pain, stabilisation of renal disease, and improved vascular function and structure in short-term, placebo-controlled trials in patients with Fabry's disease. Long-term studies are necessary to evaluate the full potential of ERT in this disease. In patients with Pompe disease, a fatal cardiac and skeletal muscle disorder, ERT improved cardiac function and structure, and increased overall muscle strength. It has already increased survival in a small number of affected infants. ERT also decreased liver and spleen size, joint mobility and quality of life in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, but when the therapeutic protein is administered intravenously, it is unlikely to modify the neurological outcome in this or in other similar disorders. Bone marrow transplantation continues to be effective in Gaucher disease, in some forms of mucopolysaccharidosis and in mild forms of Krabbe disease, but it has high morbidity and mortality that limits its use in lysosomal storage disorders. Drugs that slow the rate of formation of accumulating glycolipids are being developed and one of them, OGT-918 (N-butyldeoxynojirimycin), is showing promise in patients with Gaucher disease. Gene therapy for lysosomal storage disorders holds promise as a replacement for the other therapies described here but requires much more development before clinical efficacy trials.

It has been suggested that a common mechanism may be responsible for all of these pathological states since all of these conditions often cluster in the same individual. Epidemiological and clinical data have consistently demonstrated an association between insulin resistance and/or hyperinsulinaemia and glucose intolerance, dyslipidaemia and elevated systolic blood pressures. Therefore, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia have been proposed as the causal link among the elements of the clusters. The elderly are more glucose intolerant and insulin resistant, but it remains controversial whether this decrease in function is due to an inevitable consequence of 'biological ageing' or due to environmental or lifestyle variables, noticeably increased adiposity/altered fat distribution and physical inactivity. An increase of these modifiable factors has been shown to result in increases in insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia and vice versa. However, insulin secretion appears to decrease with age even after adjustments for differences in adiposity, fat distribution and physical activity. The glucose intolerance of ageing may be due, in part, to decreased insulin sensitivity of pancreatic beta cells to insulinotropic gut hormones (GLP1/GIP) and in part to alterations of hepatic glucose production.

About 10 percent of pheochromocytomas are familial and occur as part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1). A subset of paragangliomas, tumors that can also produce and secrete catecholamines, are also familial and occur in patients with germline mutations in genes that encode subunits of the mitochondrial complex II. The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of chromaffin cell tumors remain widely unknown, although recent studies in hereditary tumors help elucidate their development. In MEN 2, overrepresentation of mutant RET in selected adrenomedullary cells may be an important mechanism in initiating the formation of a pheochromocytoma. In VHL disease, pheochromocytoma development appears to occur according to Knudson's two-hit model, a VHL germline mutation and wildlype allelic deletion. Tumorigenesis of NF1-associated pheochromocytomas remains unknown, as does tumor formation (i.e., carotid body tumor) in patients with germline mutations in SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD, genes that encode subunits of the mitochondrial complex 11, the smallest complex in the respiratory chain. Many genetic alterations have been found in sporadic chromaffin cell tumors. However, at present such genetic changes are difficult to place into context with regard to tumor formation and progression. C1 NICHHD, Pediat & Reprod Endocrinol Branch, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

The resulting low prevalence of the tumor among tested populations and the inadequacies of commonly used biochemical tests make excluding or confirming the tumor an often difficult and time-consuming task. Recognition that catecholamines are metabolized to free metanephrines within pheochromocytoma tumor cells, and that this process is independent of catecholamine release, provides a rationale for use of these metabolites in the biochemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Here we briefly review the history of biochemical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in relation to recent data about the diagnostic utility of plasma free metanephrines for detection of these tumors. Measurements of urinary or plasma catecholamines have reasonable sensitivity for detection of most pheochromocytomas, particularly those in patients with sustained hypertension. False-negative test results can, however, occur in asymptomatic patients tested because of an adrenal incidentaloma or a familial predisposition for pheochromocytoma, or when sampling is carried out between episodes of paroxysmal hypertension. Measurements of urinary total metanephrines or vanillylmandelic acid are less reliable and are of little value as initial screening tests. In contrast, measurements of plasma concentrations or free metanephrines or 24-hour urinary outputs of fractionated normetanephrine and metanephrine almost always reveal the tumor. Although, both tests have similarly high sensitivity, the relatively low specificity of urinary fractionated metanephrines means that pheochromocytomas can be more efficiently excluded or confirmed using measurements of plasma free metanephrines.

Modern medical blockade has significantly improved patient survival and morbidity. The last decade has seen the identification of the genes responsible for several hereditary causes of pheochromocytoma. Evaluation of these patients has demonstrated different catecholamine profiles associated with the different syndromes. Genetic testing and new, more sensitive catecholamine tests are allowing better, earlier diagnosis of affected patients. Some patients with small tumors deemed nonfunctional by traditional methods may be safely observed until function is demonstrated. Laparoscopic surgery has supplanted the use of open surgery in the management of these tumors. Adrenocortical-sparing surgery may be performed using laparoscopy in patients with hereditary forms of pheochromocytoma. C1 NCI, Urol Oncol Branch, DCS, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

The actions of these hormones are mediated by the specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GRs). Pathologic conditions associated with changes of tissue sensitivity to these hormones have been described. The syndrome of familial/sporadic glucocorticoid resistance is characterized by hypercortisolism without Cushing syndrome stigmata. Many of the patients present with hypertension, with or without hypokalemic alkalosis, as a result of elevated concentrations of cortisol and other salt-retaining steroids. The molecular defects of 4 kindreds and one sporadic case have been elucidated as inactivating mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the GR. In two patients in whom the GR was mutated at amino acid isoleucine 559 to aspartic acid (GRalphaI559N) and isoleucine 747 to methionine (GRalphaI747M), respectively, glucocorticoid resistance developed at the heterozygous state, with transdominant negative activity of each of the mutant receptors upon the wild-type protein. Retention of the wild-type receptor in the cytoplasm by the mutant receptor was found in the former, while inappropriate accumulation of p160-type coactivators on the promoter region of glucocorticoid-responsive genes, because of a defective interaction between the AF2 region of the mutant receptor and the LXXLL motif of the coactivators, was determined in the latter. These results suggest that the pathologic mechanisms of glucocorticoid resistance is quite broad, and this is reflected in the wide variability of the clinical picture in patients with the syndrome.

If a patient presents with typical clinical features such as weight gain with truncal obesity and supraclavicular fat deposition, wide purple striae, and proximal muscle weakness, the diagnosis is clear-cut and is nearly always substantiated by a 24-hour urine free cortisol excretion value more than four times the normal level. However, many patients present with signs and symptoms that are common in the general population, such as hypertension, generalized weight gain, reproductive abnormalities, and depression. Many of these patients have normal cortisol excretion and do not have Cushing's syndrome. Others have mild hypercortisolism caused by psychiatric disorders, obligate exercise, morbid obesity, sleep apnea, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. These patients may be confused with those with the true Cushing's syndrome, and thus are considered to have a "pseudo-Cushing" state. Additional observation over time, and testing with midnight cortisol measurements, the 2-day-2-mg dexamethasone suppression test, or the dexamethasone suppression-CRH stimulation test may be useful to identify true Cushing's syndrome in these patients.

Hypertension contributes to the marked increased mortality risk of past or current Cushing's syndrome, largely because of increased cardiovascular risk. Observation of the pathophysiological effect of chronically elevated ACTH and cortisol values in patients with ectopic ACTH secretion complements the available data from acute studies of the effects of ACTH and glucocorticoid infusions in normal volunteers. In a retrospective case review, we identified 58 patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH secretion, who were treated at the National Institutes of Health between 1983-1997. The diagnosis of an ectopic ACTH cause was confirmed by inferior petrosal sinus sampling and/or pathologic examination of tumor. The commonest causes were bronchial carcinoid (40%) and thymic carcinoid (10%), but 18 of 58 (31%) patients had an unknown source of ectopic ACTH. Hypertension (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg in adults) was noted in 45 of 58 (78%) ectopic Cushing's patients, a prevalence similar to that noted in other endogenous Cushing's syndrome etiologies. Hypertension was severe, deemed to require 3 or more drugs by the treating physicians, in 26 of 58 (45%) patients. Hypokalemia was much more prevalent than in patients with other causes of Cushing's syndrome, affecting 33 of 58 (57%) patients. The range of plasma ACTH (17-1557 pg/mL, normal <60) and 24-hour urine cortisol (UC) excretion (192-1600 mcg/24 hr, normal <90) allowed analysis of the influence of these hormones on blood pressure and plasma potassium. There was a significant relationship between 24-hour UC excretion and the presence of hypokalemia (P = 0.003). Eight of nine patients with a UC >6000 mcg/24 hr had hypokalemia. There was no relation between ACTH level and hypokalemia. In addition, we did not find blood pressure severity to be related to UC excretion or ACTH levels. Urine and plasma cortisol and cortisol metabolite measurements suggest that cortisol may act as a mineralocorticoid when in excess, perhaps by saturating the 11beta-hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase (11beta-HSD2 enzyme) that inactivates cortisol at the renal tubule. The current data suggest that high cortisol levels may be the principal cause of hypokalemic alkalosis in Cushing's syndrome, rather than inhibition of the 11betaHSD2 enzyme by ACTH or the effects of adrenal steroid biosynthetic intermediaries with mineralococorticoid activity.

This tumor constitutes a surgically curable cause of hypertension. Therefore, correct localization of pheochromocytoma is essential for effective management of this tumor. Several conventional and nuclear imaging modalities are currently available to localize pheochromocytoma. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have good sensitivity but poor specificity for detecting pheochromocytoma, and nuclear imaging approaches such as I-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy or [In-111]-DTPA-D-Phe-pentetreotide (Octreoscan) have limited sensitivity. However, specificity of I-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy is very good and this means of imaging provides a method for confirming that a tumor is a pheochromocytoma and rules out metastatic disease. Recently, we introduced a new imaging method, 6-[F-18] fluorodopamine positron emission tomography, that can be used successfully for the detection of solitary and metastatic pheochromocytomas. Our preliminary data suggest that this method is superior to other nuclear imaging methods including metaiodobenzylguanidine and octreotide scintigraphy. In this report we provide an update regarding nuclear imaging of primary and metastatic pheochromocytoma, particularly using 6-[F-18]fluorodopamine positron emission tomographic scanning.

Genomic medicine has the potential to revolutionize diagnosis and therapy of a variety of human diseases, including endocrine disorders. Hypertension is the presenting feature of some of these disorders, such as congenital adrenal diseases, and adrenal and pituitary tumors. Preclinical data indicate that gene transfer to both the adrenal gland and the pituitary is not only feasible but also quite efficient. Research in this field is only in its infancy, but with the ever-increasing advances in DNA technologies, genomic therapies for endocrine hypertension may become available within the next few decades.

We investigated the association of genetic polymorphisms in NAT1 and NAT2, alone and in combination, with human prostate cancer. Incident prostate cancer cases and controls in a hospital-based case-control study were frequency-matched for age, race, and referral pattern. The frequency of slow acetylator NAT1 genotypes (NAT1 * 14, * 15, * 17) was 5.8% in controls but absent in cases. In contrast, in comparison with all other NAT1 genotypes the putative rapid acetylator NAT1 genotype (NAT1 * 10) was significantly higher in prostate cancer cases than controls (OR, 2.17; 95% Cl, 1.08-4.33; P = 0.03). Combinations of NAT1 * 10 with NAT2 slow acetylator genotypes (OR, 5.08; 95% Cl, 1.56-16.5; P = 0.008) or with NAT2 very slow (homozygous NAT2 * 5) acetylator genotypes (OR, 7.50; 95% Cl, 1.55-15.4; P = 0.016) further increased prostate cancer risk. The results of this small pilot study suggest increased susceptibility to prostate cancer for subjects with combinations of NAT1 * 10 and slow (particularly very slow) NAT2 acetylator genotypes. This finding should be investigated further in larger cohorts and in other ethnic populations. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Male B6C3F(1) mice hemizygous for the lambda/lacI transgene were treated weekly with 100 mg/kg body weight of the mammalian germ cell mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). The cumulative dose for each treated animal was 300 mg ENU/kg body weight. Ten weeks later the treated mice were mated to T stock females and the resulting offspring were screened for specific-locus mutations at six loci affecting external appearance, as well as for mutations in the loci transgene in multiple somatic tissues and germ cells. Five offspring carrying recessive specific-locus mutations were observed among 597 offspring screened (mutant frequency = 139.6 x per locus). Four offspring carrying lacI mutations were observed among 280 offspring screened (mutant frequency = 35.7 x 10(-5) per locus (assuming 40 target loci)). Each of the four lacI mutant offspring carried a different mutation. Three of the mutations were A:T-->G:C transitions and one a G:C -->A:T transition. Consistent with the expectation that a mutation induced in a parental germ cell and transmitted to a conceptus would exist in every cell of the offspring, each mutant mouse had identical mutations in all somatic tissues sampled, as well as in its germ cells. These data provide preliminary evidence for the biological validity of assessing induced, heritable mutations using transgenic mice, without the need for generating an F-1 generation.

A forward mutational assay exists for PhiX174 that requires an altered, Functional PhiX174 protein and therefore should have fewer targets (sense, base-pair substitutions) than forward assays that inactivate a protein. We investigated this assay to determine the number of targets and their suitability for detecting a known mutagen, N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). We identified 25 target sites and 33 different mutations in PhiX174 gene A after sequencing over 350 spontaneous and ENU-induced mutants, mostly from mouse embryonic cell line PX-2 isolated from mice transgenic for PhiX174 am3, cs70 (line 54). All six types of base-pair substitution were represented among both the spontaneous and ENU-treated mutant spectra. The mutant spectra from cells treated with 200 and 400 mug/ml ENU were both highly different from the spontaneous spectrum (P < 0.000001) but not from each other. The dose trend was significant (P < 0.0001) fora linear regression of mutant Frequencies (R-2 = 0.79), with a ninefold increase in mutant frequency at the 400 mug/ml dose. The spontaneous mutant frequency was 1.9 X 10(-5) and the spontaneous spectrum occurred at 11 target base pairs with 15 different mutations. Thirteen mutations at 12 targets were identified only from ENU-treated cells. Seven mutations had highly significant increases with ENU treatment (P < 0.0001) and 15 showed significant increases. The results suggest that the PhiX174 forward assay might be developed into a sensitive, inexpensive in vivo mutagenicity assay. Published 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

In the United States, the 1958 Food Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 requires food manufacturers to demonstrate the safety of food additives to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Amendment contains a provision that prohibits approval of an additive if it is found to cause cancer in humans or animals. In the present study, data from the National Toxicology Program rodent bioassay (NTPRB) were used to identify a sample of approximately 50 rodent-tested additives and other chemicals added to food that had been evaluated independently of the FDA/food industry. Surprisingly, the sample shows more than 40% of these food chemicals to be carcinogenic in one or more rodent groups. If this percentage is extrapolated to all substances added to food in the United States, it would imply that more than 1000 of such substances are potential rodent carcinogens. The NTP and FDA test guidelines use similar, though not necessarily identical, rodent test procedures, including near lifetime exposures to the maximum tolerated dose. The FDA specifies that test chemicals should be administered by the oral route. However, the oral route includes three methods of delivering chemicals, that is, mixed in the food or water or delivered by stomach tube (gavage). The NTP data show only I of 18 food chemicals mixed in the food are rodent carcinogens, but 16 of 23 govage-administered food chemicals are carcinogenic to rodents. The distribution suggests that among orally delivered chemicals, those administered in the feed will more likely prove to be noncarcinogens than chemicals given by gavage. The rodent data also reveal that effects may vary according to dose and genotype, as well as by route of administration, to further complicate extrapolation to humans. Human experience with known carcinogens such as tobacco, asbestos, and benzidine convinces us that environmental carcinogens constitute a real threat to human health, although predicting human carcinogens from rodent tests involves a number of uncertainties. These uncertainties do not mean that we should simply ignore the presence of carcinogens. Rather, in the interests of public safety, a serious effort should be made to resolve the questions surrounding the presence of chemicals identified as rodent carcinogens in our food.

Its 192,000 cases and 40,000 deaths in 2001 make it the most common incident cancer (excluding superficial skin cancers) and second leading cause of cancer death. Over one-half of the 300,000 breast cancer deaths worldwide in 1990 (the latest year with such data) occurred in developed countries, but annual mortality rates ranged from 27/100,000 women in northern Europe to 41100,000 women in Asia. Incidence data are less complete, although 1988-1992 rates varied threefold: low in Asia, intermediate in South America and Eastern Europe, and high in North America and Western Europe. Migrant studies suggest that lifestyle factors largely explain these international differences. U.S. incidence rates are generally 20%-40% higher in white women than in non-white women, but are higher in young (under age 40) black women than in young white women. Incidence rates rose in the 1970s, leveled off in the 1990s, and are declining for young women. Women in some areas of the northeast U.S. have twofold higher mortality than that of other U.S. women, but reproductive and socioeconomic characteristics explain much of that difference. In the 1970s and 1980s, mortality rates held steady in developed countries but rose in developing countries. Since 1987 mortality rates fell by 25% as a result of earlier detection and improved treatment. Age-period-cohort analyses indicate that changes in recognized risk factors may affect mortality patterns. Continued analysis of international and intranational trends may reveal targets for multidisciplinary intervention and prevention efforts. Published 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) was established in 1978 to coordinate research and testing of potential human carcinogens and to publish the Report on Carcinogens, which lists human carcinogens. The results for over 500 chemicals tested in the NTP 2-year bioassays have been published in Technical Reports and include data for chemical, agent, or complex mixture exposures. The bioassays have identified 42 chemicals that induce tumors in the rodent mammary gland. The physical and chemical characteristics of the carcinogens vary, but epoxides (including chemicals metabolized to epoxides) and nitro-containing compounds are well represented. The 9th Report on Carcinogens, issued in 2000, lists 21 of the 42 chemicals as human carcinogens including benzene, ethylene oxide, 1,3-butadiene, isoprene, chloroprene, C.I. basic red 9, and C.I. acid red 114. Ethylene oxide was associated with increased breast cancer risk in an epidemiologic study, whereas other listed chemicals, for which human data are available display different target organ specificity. Bioassays other than those conducted by the NTP also provide information about rodent mammary gland carcinogens. Several carcinogen exposures are associated with breast tumor induction in both humans and rodents including radiation, diethylstilbestrol, and estrogens. These studies demonstrate that route, timing and frequency of exposure, and genetic factors contribute to the overall susceptibility to breast cancer development. More information is needed on the effects of chemicals to which humans are exposed and the manner by which they influence breast cancer risks.

Targeted mutations of Brca1 in the mouse result in embryonic lethality primarily attributed to cellular proliferation defects, raising questions about the mechanisms by which Brca1 represses tumor formation. To overcome the early lethality, we engineered Brca1 by flanking its exon 11 with loxP sites. We showed that deletion of the exon by EIIA-Cre, which expresses Cre in the germline, causes p53-dependent lethality at late gestation. On the other hand, MMTV-Cre, which expresses Cre in mammary epithelium, resulted in tumorigenesis at low frequency after a long latency, accompanied by increased epithelial cell apoptosis and abnormal ductal development. Mammary tumor formation was significantly accelerated in a p53(+/-) genetic background; however, it still appeared in a stochastic fashion, suggesting the involvement of additional factors. Notably, the tumors were highly diverse in histopathology and displayed extensive genetic/molecular alterations, including overexpression of ErbB2, c-Myc, p27, and Cyclin D1, and downregulation of p16 in the majority of tumors. This observation suggests roles for these proteins in Brca1-associated tumorigenesis. Published 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. C1 NIDDK, Genet Dev & Dis Branch, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

In the mouse model, the most frequently used chemical carcinogen has been 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), which activates the Ha-ras gene but does not alter the p53 tumor-suppressor gene. However, on an existing background of p53 gene alteration, low doses of DMBA are strongly cocarcinogenic. Using a transgenic model system, in which the p53 gene was deleted in the mammary gland, we examined the carcinogenic effects of a variety of external agents and internal factors given at either low doses or physiological doses. These agents/factors included DMBA, gamma-radiation, Brca2 heterozygosity, and steroid hormones. All agents/factors increased the tumorigenic response of the p53 null mammary cells, even under conditions where no tumorigenic response was observed in the p53 wildtype mammary cell. The strongest cocarcinogenic effect was observed with the steroid hormone progesterone. The majority of tumors were highly aneuploid and composed of nuclear igh-grade cells. The mechanism for the aneuploidy and secondary events associated with high tumorigenicity were examined using array technology, These results demonstrate that, on a background of underlying genetic instability, very low doses of environmental mutagens and mitogens can produce strong cocarcinogenic effects.

Tamoxifen is also associated with a threefold increased risk of endometrial cancer. Raloxifene, a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has not been associated with endometrial cancer risk, and is currently study in a large, multi-institutional, randomized of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene (STAR) for breast cancer prevention in postmenopausal women. A pilot trial of raloxifene in premenopausal women to assess the safety, tolerability, effects on bone mineral density, mammographic density, and other biological end-points is ongoing. The retinoids have been shown to decrease mammary tumors in rodent carcinogenesis models. The Italian trial of fenretinide (4-HPR) in women with stage I breast cancer randomized women to fenretinide or no intervention. This study did not show an overall effect of decreasing the risk of contralateral breast cancer. However, a protective effect was suggested in premenopausal women. It has been suggested that this effect may be related to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which has been shown to be modulated by fenretinide in premenopausal but not postmenopausal women. Pilot studies of SERMs alone and in combination with refinoids or other agents provide a model for testing the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and biomarker modulation in high-risk women. These studies can provide information as to both the pathophysiology of carcinogenesis and the mechanism of action of chemopreventive agents, and help select agents and doses for testing in large randomized studies.

In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the occurrence of DNA adducts in exfoliated bladder cells of currently exposed, nonsmoking rubber workers (n = 52) and their relationship with occupational exposure estimates and acetylation phenotype (NAT2). Four DNA adducts were identified, with the proportion of positive samples (e.g., DNA samples with quantifiable levels of a specific DNA adduct) ranging from 3.8 to 79%. The highest proportion of positive samples and the highest relative adduct labeling levels were in workers involved in the production functions "mixing" and "curing," areas with potential for substantial exposure to a wide range of chemical compounds used in rubber manufacturing (P < 0.05 for adducts 2 and/or 3, compared to all other departments). No statistically significant relationships were found between identified DNA adducts and urinary mutagenicity or personal inhalable and dermal exposure estimates. Interestingly, subjects with a fast NAT2 acetylation phenotype tended to have higher levels of DNA adducts. This study suggests that rubber workers engaged in mixing and curing may be exposed to compounds that can form DNA adducts in urothelial cells. Larger studies among rubber workers should be conducted to study in more detail the potential carcinogenicity of exposures encountered in these work areas.

We also conducted a prospective substudy of 219 participants of the same parent cohort to determine whether 12-week and 30-week exposure assessments were similar. We evaluated wire codes, area measures, and three personal meter metrics: (1) the average difference between consecutive levels (a rate,of-change metric), (2) the maximum level, and (3) the time-weighted average. For wire codes and area measures we found little association. For the personal metrics (30 weeks after last menstrual period), we found positive associations. Each exposure was divided into quartiles, with the lowest quartile as referent. Starting with the highest quartile, adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were 3.1 (95% CI = 1.6-6.0), 2.3 (95% CI = 1.2-4.4), and 1.5 (95% CI = 0.8-3.1) for the rate-ofchange metric; 2.3 (95% CI = 1.24-4), 1.9 (95% CI = 1.0-3.5), and 1.4 (95% CI = 0.7-2.8) for the maximum value; and 1.7 (95% CI = 0.9-3.3), 1.7 (95% CI = 0.9-3.3), and 1.7 (95% CI = 0.9-3.3) for the time-weighted average. The odds ratio conveyed by being above a 24-hour time-weighted average of 2 milligauss was 1.0 (95% Cl = 0.5-2.1). Exposure assessment measurements at 12 weeks were poorly correlated with those taken at 30 weeks. Nonetheless, the prospective substudy results regarding miscarriage risk were consistent with the nested study results. C1 Calif Dept Hlth Serv, Environm Hlth Invest Branch, Oakland, CA 94612 USA.

A cohort of 21,796 male smokers was drawn from the Alpha-Tocopherol Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study, which examined the effects of 50 mg per day vitamin E and 20 mg per day beta-carotene on lung cancer, Diet and background characteristics were recorded at the study entry, and subjects were queried three times per year on common cold episodes. We modeled the total number of colds during a 4-year follow-up period with Poisson regression, adjusting for covariates of dietary intake. Dietary vitamins C and E and beta,carotene had no meaningful association with common cold incidence. Long-term vitamin E and beta-carotene supplementation had no overall effect. Among subjects 65 years of age or older, the incidence of colds was slighty tower in the vitamin E group (RR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.90-1.00); this reduction was greatest among, older city dwellers who smoked fewer than 15 cigarettes per day (RR = 0.72; 95% CI = 0.62-0.83). In this male smoking population, vitamins C and E and beta-carotene had no overall association with the incidence of common cold episodes.

We examined this question in a prospective cohort of 31,377 Iowa women 55-69 years of age at baseline. Relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated through Cox regression. We identified 181 incident epithelial ovarian cancers through 13 years of follow-up. At baseline, 14% of the women reported breast or ovarian cancer in a first-degree relative, and an additional 12% reported a family history in a second-degree relative. Among women without a family history of breast or ovarian cancer in a first-degree relative, nulliparous women were at slightly increased risk of ovarian cancer (RR = 1.4, 95% CI = 0.9-2.4) compared with parous women, whereas among women with a family history, nulliparous women were at a much higher risk (RR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1-6.6) than parous women. Similar results were seen when family history included first- or second-degree relatives with breast or ovarian cancer or a first- or second degree relative with ovarian cancer only. Nulliparity may be more strongly associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer among women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, compared with women who do not have a family history of those cancers.

Self-completed questionnaires were administered 1 year apart when participants returned to county agricultural extension offices for pesticide certification or training. Percentage agreement for ever-/never-use of specific pesticides and application practices was quite high, generally ranging from 70% to more than 90%, and did not vary by age, educational level, or farm size. Agreement was lower (typically 50-60%) for duration, frequency, or decade of first use of specific pesticides. Level of agreement regarding pesticide use in this population is similar to that generally found for factors typically used in epidemiologic studies such as tobacco use and higher than typically reported for diet, physical activity, and medical conditions.

It consists of a complex combination of movements that are either innately endowed or acquired by learning. Innate and learned actions are controlled by different levels of neural networks: innate actions are controlled by reflex mechanisms and pattern generators in the spinal cord and brainstem, whereas learned actions are controlled by the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. However, these mechanisms are by no means independent. Recent studies have shown that multiple brain areas contribute to the implementation of learned actions. Based on a series of studies using a sequenced learning task with trial and error, we propose a hypothetical scheme in which a sequential procedure is acquired independently by two cortical systems, one using spatial coordinates, and the other using motor coordinates. They are active preferentially in the early and late stages of learning, respectively. Both of the systems are supported by loop circuits formed with the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, the former for reward-based evaluation and the latter for processing of timing. The proposed neural architecture would operate in a flexible manner to acquire and execute multiple sequential procedures. C1 Juntendo Univ, Sch Med, Dept Physiol, Tokyo 113, Japan.

However, the extent of this effect on other cell types has not been evaluated in vitro. In this study, we evaluated the effect of ECP on 13 mammalian cell lines. ECP inhibited the growth of several cell lines including those derived from carcinoma and leukemia in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values on A431 cells, MDA-MB-453 cells, HL-60 cells and K562 cells were estimated to be approximate to1-5 muM. ECP significantly suppressed the size of colonies of A431 cells, and decreased K562 cells in G(1)/G(0) phase. However, there was little evidence that ECP killed cells in either cell line. These effects of ECP were not enhanced by extending its N-terminus. Rhodamine B isothiocyanate-labeled ECP started to bind to A431 cells after 0.5 h and accumulated for up to 24 h, indicating that specific affinity for the cell surface may be important. ne affinity of ECP for heparin was assessed and found to be reduced when tryptophan residues, one of which is located at a position in the catalytic subsite of ribonuclease in ECP, were modified. The growth-inhibitory effect was also attenuated by this modification. These results suggest that growth inhibition by ECP is dependent on cell type and is cytostatic.

Forskolin, an activator of the cAMP/PKA pathway, results in antagonism of Fas-dependent, activation-induced cell death (AICD) by suppressed expression of the FasL. We report that forskolin-mediated induction of inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER) correlates with transcriptional attenuation of FasL expression in the AICD model 2134 T cell hybridoma. ICER is inducible in human peripheral blood CD3(+) T cells, but in CD19(+) B cells, its induction is less responsive to forskolin treatment. Increased expression of ICER correlates with decreased FasL expression in both T and NK cells. ICER binds specifically to the proximal DNA binding site of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) in the FasL promoter and in the presence of the minimal NFAT DNA-binding domain, the proximal NFAT motif allows ICER and NFAT to form an NFAT/ICER ternary complex in vitro. Moreover, in the activated 2B4 T cell hybridoma, the proximal INFAT motif participates in the down-regulation of the FasL promoter mediated by ICER.

Immunoblotting analysis of purified forebrain terminals from tottering mice revealed an 85% reduction in the protein expression level of the mutated alpha1A subunit compared to expression of the alpha1A subunit in wild-type terminals, In contrast, the expression of the alpha1B subunit of the N-type Ca2+-channels was unchanged. Release of the amino acids glutamate and GABA and of the neuropeptide cholecystokinin (CCK) induced by a short (100 ms) depolarization pulse was unchanged in the terminals of tottering mice. Studies using specific blockers of Ca2+-channels however, revealed a reduced contribution of P- and Q-type Ca2+-channels to glutamate and cholecystokinin release, whereas a greater reliance on N-type Ca2+-channels for release of these transmitters was observed. In contrast, the contribution of the P-, Q- and N-type Ca2+-channels to the release of GABA was not altered in tottering mice. These results indicate that the expression of the alpha1A subunit was decreased in terminals from tottering mice, and that a decreased contribution of P- and Q-type Ca2+-channels to the release of glutamate and cholecystokinin was functionally compensated by an increased contribution of N-type Ca2+-channels.

In the rodent brain, expression of trkB(TK+) decreases and trkB(TK-) increases during postnatal life. We hypothesized that both forms of trkB receptor mRNA would be present in the human neocortex and that the developmental profile of trkB gene expression in human may be distinct from that in rodent. We detected both trkB(TK+) and trkB(TK-) mRNA in RNA extracted from multiple human brain regions by Northern blot. Using in situ hybridization, we found trkB(TK+) mRNA in all cortical layers, with highest expression in layer IV and intermediate-to-high expression in layers III and V of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. trkB(TK+) mRNA was present in neurons with both pyramidal and nonpyramidal shapes in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. trkB(TK+) mRNA levels were significantly increased in layer III in young adults as compared with infants and the elderly. In the elderly, trkB(TK+) mRNA levels were reduced markedly in all cortical layers. Unlike the mRNA encoding the full-length form of trkB, trkB(TK-) mRNA was distributed homogeneously across the grey matter, and trkB(TK-) mRNA levels increased only slightly during postnatal life. The results suggest that neurons in the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are responsive to neurotrophins throughout postnatal life and that this responsiveness may be modulated during the human lifespan.

The model is based on the assumption that representations in the ventral visual stream are organized hierarchically, such that representations of simple features of objects are stored in caudal regions of the ventral visual stream, and representations of the conjunctions of these features are stored in more rostral regions. We propose that a function of these feature conjunction representations is to help to resolve 'feature ambiguity', a property of visual discrimination problems that can emerge when features of an object predict a given outcome (e.g. reward) when part of one object, but predict a different outcome when part of another object. Several recently reported effects of lesions of perirhinal cortex in monkeys have provided key insights into the functions of this region. In the present study these effects were simulated by comparing the performance of connectionist networks before and after removal of a layer of units corresponding to perirhinal cortex. The results of these simulations suggest that effects of lesions in perirhinal cortex on visual discrimination may be due not to the impairment of a specific type of learning or memory, such as declarative or procedural, but to compromising the representations of visual stimuli. Furthermore, we propose that attempting to classify perirhinal cortex function as either 'perceptual' or 'mnemonic' may be misguided, as it seems unlikely that these broad constructs will map neatly onto anatomically defined regions of the brain.

The model predicts that lesions of perirhinal cortex should disrupt complex visual discriminations with a high degree of 'feature ambiguity', a property of visual discrimination problems that can emerge when features of an object are rewarded when they are part of one object, but not when part of another. As feature ambiguity is thought to be the critical factor, such effects should be independent of the number of objects to be discriminated. This was tested directly, by assessing performance of control monkeys and monkeys with aspiration lesions of perirhinal cortex on a series of concurrent discriminations in which the number of object pairs was held constant, but the degree of feature ambiguity was varied systematically. Monkeys were tested in three conditions: Maximum Feature Ambiguity, in which all features were explicitly ambiguous (AB+, CD+, BC-, AD-; the biconditional problem); Minimum Feature Ambiguity, in which no features were explicitly ambiguous (AB+, CD+, EF-, GH-); and Intermediate Feature Ambiguity, in which half the features were explicitly ambiguous (AB+, CD+, CE-, AF-). The pattern of results closely matched that predicted by simulations using a connectionist network: monkeys with perirhinal cortex lesions were unimpaired in the Minimum Feature Ambiguity condition, mildly impaired in the Intermediate Feature Ambiguity condition and severely impaired in the Maximum Feature Ambiguity condition. These results confirm the predictions of the PMFC model, and force a reconsideration of prevailing views regarding perirhinal cortex function.

These expressions allow for the helical symmetry of charge distribution on DNA molecules and reveal chiral and non-chiral interaction terms. Asymptotic expressions at small twist angles axe applied to evaluate the cholesteric pitch and the twist elastic constant and their dependence on the length of DNA fragments. These estimates suggest an explanation for the large value of the cholesteric pitch and its nonmonotonic variation with the density of the liquid crystal. An analysis of biaxial correlations rationalizes the driving force of the transition from the cholesteric to hexagonal phase upon dehydration. C1 Forschungszentrum Julich, D-52425 Julich, Germany.

Studies using the cold cataract model showed this new device to be more sensitive than the Scheimpflug cataract imaging system in detecting the earliest cataractous changes. A miniaturized clinical DLS device developed by NASA using fiber optic probes was mounted on a Keratoscope (Optikon 2000), which has a 3-dimensional aiming system for accurate repeated sampling of the same area of the lens. A test/retest study was then conducted on the nuclear region of the lenses of 12 normal eyes. After a full, dilated eye examination, DLS data were obtained using the new device on the same eyes twice, 30-60 min apart. Particle size distributions and mean log particle size data were obtained. The mean percent differences between the larger and smaller of the test-retest pairs was 6.4 % (range 0.05-10.8 %); the between-test S.D. was 0.116. Actual numerical margin of error was +/-0.023. In addition, the mean coefficient of variation was 4.2 % (range 0.3-7.3 %), A useful clinical end point obtained from data produced by the device was the mean log particle size. These results suggest that the DLS will be useful in the detection and study of the beginning and earliest stages of cataract formation in humans.

Because powerful immune effects can be generated against hematological malignancies following allogeneic stem cell transplantation, we investigated for similar anti-tumor responses in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma following the transplantation of an allogeneic immune system from a healthy HLA-matched family donor. Early laboratory and clinical results have demonstrated that following a reduced-intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant, donor T-cell mediated anti-tumor effects, resulting in sustained and sometimes complete tumor regression, can be generated against renal cell carcinoma (RCC) refractory to conventional cytokine-based therapy. Early data indicate that cytotoxic T cells of donor origin are the mediators of these anti-tumor effects. These preliminary studies provide additional evidence supporting the susceptibility of RCC to immune attack and lay the foundation for future targeted allo-immune-based cancer strategies.

IFN-gamma markedly upregulated class 11 MHC (I-Ab) expression in both (-/-) and (+/+) tubular epithelial cells. Coincubation studies of (+/+) and (-/-) tubular epithelial cells with IFN-gamma+LPS, or pretreatment of these cells with TGF-beta1, revealed inhibition of IFN-gamma-induced I-A(b) mRNA and cell surface expression that occurred via a decrease in class 11 transactivator gene expression in both (+/+) and (-/-) tubular epithelial cells. In addition, ICAM-1 was constitutively expressed on both (+/+) and (-/-) tubular epithelial cells and was upregulated by IFN-gamma or IFN-gamma+LPS. ICAM-1 expression in (+/+) and (-/-) tubular epithelial cells, however, was decreased by TGF-beta1. Parallel analysis evaluating B7-1 expression detected low levels of B7-1 in unstimulated (+/+) and (-/-) tubular epithelial cells that were increased by IFN-gamma, LPS, and IFN-gamma+LPS. IFN-gamma+LPS-mediated upregulation of B7-1 was also blocked by pretreatment with TGF-beta1. Cytokine analysis detected significantly higher levels of TNF-alpha and MIP-1alpha mRNA in all treated (-/-) preparations than in (+/+) tubular epithelial cell controls. These studies demonstrate normal patterns of class 11 MHC, ICAM-1, and B7 expression in TGF-beta1 (-/-) tubular epithelial cells in response to IFN-gamma, LPS, and TGF-beta1. Upregulated cytokine expression at baseline and in response to proinflammatory mediators is apparent in (-/-) tubular epithelial cells, however, and suggests that dysregulation of cytokine expression in inflammatory responses may be a primary event in multifocal inflammation observed in TGF-beta1-deficient animals.

Using the standard 4-weekly administration schedule, rituximab induces responses in almost half of patients with relapsed follicular/low-grade (F/LG) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with complete remissions in 6%. Lower response rates (RRs) have been noted in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) using the standard dose and schedule. The drug has been well tolerated in most patients with common adverse events including mild to moderate fevers and chills and rare occurrences of a serious syndrome related to cytokine release and rapid tumour clearance. This antibody is also active against aggressive NHL, mantle cell NHL, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), lymphoplasmacytic NHL and hairy cell leukaemia and is also being evaluated in autoimmune disorders. Combinations of rituximab with chemotherapy regimens such as CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, predinisone) may alter the therapeutic paradigm for these diseases. The future promise of this antibody is a foundation on which to develop new strategies to increase the cure of patients with lymphoid malignancies. C1 NCI, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Moreover, potent and selective homochiral sigma(1) and sigma(2) binding site ligands represent leads to potential radioligands for tumour imaging with positron emission tomography (PET). On the basis of their structural similarity to previous leads, new (+)- and (-)-cis-2-[(1-adamantylamino)-methyl]-1-phenylcyclopropane derivatives were synthesised and their binding affinities for sigma(1) and sigma(2) binding sites were determined. Each enantiomer showed high affinity for both sigma(1) and sigma(2) binding sites, but only (-)-cis-methyl-2-{[1-adamantyl(methyl)amino]methyl}-1-phenylcyclopropane-carboxylate, (-)-4, showed appreciable selectivity for binding to sigma(1) versus sigma(2) sites. The enantiomers of cis-(2-{[1-adamantyl(methyl)amino]methyl}-1-phenylcyclopropyl)methanol, 6, expressed the highest affinity for sigma(1) and sigma(2) binding sites. Ligands (-)-4, (+)-6 and (-)-6 might be rapidly labelled in their N-methyl groups by methylation of the N-desmethyl analogues with [C-11]iodomethane to provide prospective radioligands for PET. The N-desmethyl analogues, which are also high affinity ligands, were prepared and shown to undergo satisfactory methylation with iodomethane. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

However, their actions as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs are both beneficial and deleterious. We analyzed the effect of glucocorticoids on the gene expression profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors. DNA microarray analysis combined with quantitative TaqMan PCR and flow cytometry revealed that glucocorticoids induced the expression of chemokine, cytokine, and complement family members as well as of newly discovered innate immune-related genes, including scavenger and Toll-like receptors. In contrast, glucocorticoids repressed the expression of adaptive immune-related genes. Simultaneous inhibitory and stimulatory effects of glucocorticoids were found on inflammatory T helper subsets and apoptosis-related gene clusters. In cells activated by T cell receptor cross-linking, glucocorticoids down-regulated the expression of specific genes that were previously up-regulated in resting cells, suggesting a potential new mechanism by which they exert positive and negative effects. Considering the broad and continuously renewed interest in glucocorticoid therapy, the profiles we describe here will be useful in designing more specific and efficient treatment strategies.

Adenosine receptors are involved in the homeostasis of the immune, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, and adenosine agonists/antagonists; exert many similar effects. The affinity of flavonoids and other phytochemicals to adenosine receptors suggests that a wide range of natural substances in the diet may potentially block the effects of endogenous adenosine. We used competitive radioligand binding assays to screen flavonoid libraries for affinity and a computational CoMFA analysis of flavonoids to compare steric and electrostatic requirements for ligand recognition at three subtypes of adenosine receptors. Flavone derivatives, such as galangin, were found to bind to three subtypes of adenosine receptors in the gM range. Pentamethylmorin (K-i 2.65 muM) was 14- to 17-fold selective for human A(1) receptors than for A(1) and A(2A) receptors. An isoflavone, genistein, was found to bind to A(1) receptors. Aurones, such as hispidol (K-i 350 nM) are selective A(1) receptor antagonists, and, like genistein, are present in soy. The flavones, chemically optimized for receptor binding, have led to the antagonist, MRS 1067 (3,6-dichloro-2'.(isopropoxy)-4'-methylflavone), which is 200-fold more selective for human A(3) than A(1) receptors. Adenosine receptor antagonism, therefore, may be important in the spectrum of biological activities reported for the flavonoids. C1 NIDDK, Mol Recognit Sect, LBC, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

These endpoints were examined as potential biomarkers of, and contributors to, endocrine disruptive activity. Exposure occurred during critical developmental periods, from gestational day 7 through weaning via the mothers' diet. Thereafter, rats were exposed via their diet to the compounds until puberty (postnatal day 50). Testosterone hydroxylase and 5 alpha -reductase activities, CYP2C and CYP3A levels were determined. In general, the compounds were more active in male rats than female rats. The only effect observed in female rats was at the 250 ppm genistein dose, in which an approximately 40% increase in 5 alpha -reductase activity was observed. In male rats, genistein treatment had mixed effects on testosterone metabolism. The 1250 ppm dose decreased both CYP2C and CYP3A protein levels. Nonylphenol had the most profound effects on testosterone metabolism and CYP450 expression in male rats, with effects occurring at doses as low as 25 ppm. An increase in 5 alpha -reductase activity and a decrease in the formation of 16 alpha -OH-, 2 alpha -OH-testosterone metabolites, CYP2C and CYP3A protein were observed. EE2 decreased the formation of several testosterone metabolites and CYP2C protein. All compounds had some effect on hepatic ERa expression, although a consistent effect was not observed. This study demonstrates that the test compounds can influence hepatic testosterone hydroxylase activity and CYP450 expression, as well as ER alpha expression, although these activities cannot be directly related to estrogenic activity.

The virus encodes a 40 kDa oncoprotein, Tax, which has no cellular counterpart. Findings from several laboratories over the past decade have shown that over-expression of the Tax oncoprotein is wholly sufficient to transform animal cells. Emerging evidence supports that Tax transforms cells through dysregulation of several cell cycle checkpoints. Here, we review extant data on how Tax targets cyclins, inhibitors of cyclin dependant kinase, as well as cellular sentries for DNA-damage.

Rat liver mRNA samples following exposure for 24 hours with phenobarbital or peroxisome proliferators were analyzed using a 1700 rat cDNA microarray platform. Sets of genes that were consistently differentially expressed in the rat liver samples following treatment were stored in the MicroArray Project System (MAPS) database. MAPS identified 238 genes in common that possessed a low probability (P < 0.01) of being randomly detected as differentially expressed at the 95% confidence level. Hierarchical cluster analysis on the 238 genes clustered specific gene expression profiles that separated samples based on exposure to a particular class of compound.

The first factor to interact with Pot III transcripts is La protein, which binds principally via its conserved N-terminal domain (NTD), to the UUU-OH motif that results from transcription termination. This review includes a sequence Logo of the most conserved region of La and its refined modeling as an RNA recognition motif (RRM). La protects RNAs from 3' exonucleolytic digestion and also contributes to their nuclear retention. The variety of modifications found on La-associated RNAs is reviewed in detail and considered in the contexts of how La may bind the termini of structured RNAs without interfering with recognition by modification enzymes, and its ability to chaperone RNAs through multiple parts of their maturation pathways. The CTD of human La recognizes the 5' end region of nascent RNA in a manner that is sensitive to serine 366 phosphorylation. Although the CTD can control pre-tRNA cleavage by RNase P, a rate-limiting step in tRNA(UGA)(Ser) maturation, the extent to which it acts in the maturation pathway(s) of other transcripts is unknown but considered here. Evidence that a fraction of La resides in the nucleolus together with recent findings that several Pot III transcripts pass through the nucleolus is also reviewed. An imminent goal is to understand how the bipartite RNA binding, intracellular trafficking, and signal transduction activities of La are integrated with the maturation pathways of the various RNAs with which it associates.

Our experiments examined the performance of three commonly used strains (C57BL/6J, 129S6, DBA/2J) on three behavioral tests for learning and memory that measure very different forms of memory, and for which there is a lack of data on strain differences. In the social transmission of food preference test (STFP) all three strains demonstrated intact memory for an odorcued food that had been sampled on the breath of a cagemate 24 hours previously. While C57BL/6J and 129S6 mice showed good trace fear conditioning, DBA/2J mice showed a profound deficit on trace fear conditioning. In the Barnes maze test for spatial memory, the 129S6 strain showed poor probe trial performance, relative to C57BL/6J mice. Comparison of strains for open field exploratory activity and anxiety-like behavior suggests that poor Barnes maze performance reflects low exploratory behavior, rather than a true spatial memory deficit, in 129S6 mice. This interpretation is supported by good Morris water maze performance in 129S6 mice. These data support the use of a C57BL/6J background for studying memory deficits in mutant mice using any of these tasks, and the use of a 129S6 background in all but the Barnes maze. A DBA/2J background may be particularly useful for investigating the genetic basis of emotional memory using fear conditioning. C1 NIMH, Sect Behav Genomics, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

Questions remain about whether these factors operate independently in separate, parallel pathways of differentiation, or whether a single pathway exists. PPARgamma can promote adipogenesis in C/EBPalpha-deficient cells, but the converse has not been tested. We have created an immortalized line of fibroblasts lacking PPARgamma, which we use to show that C/EBPalpha has no ability to promote adipogenesis in the absence of PPARgamma. These results indicate that C/EBPalpha and PPARgamma participate in a single pathway of fat cell development with PPARgamma being the proximal effector of adipogenesis.

We extend methods of analyzing pooled DNA samples to estimate the joint prevalence of variants at two or more loci. If one has a sample from the general population, one can adapt the method for joint prevalence estimation to estimate allele frequencies and D, the measure of linkage disequilibrium. The parameter D is fundamental in population genetics and in determining the power of association studies. fn addition, joint allelic prevalences can be used in case-control studies to estimate the relative risks of disease from joint exposures to the genetic variants. Our methods allow for imperfect assay sensitivity and specificity. The expected savings in numbers of assays required when pooling is utilized compared to individual testing are quantified.

A search for highly expressed cDNAs that suppress the DNA repair deficiency of rad50 mutants yielded multiple isolates of two genes: EXO1 and TLC1. Overexpression of EXO1 or TLC1 increased the resistance of rad50, mre11, and xrs2 mutants to ionizing radiation and MINIS, but did not increase resistance in strains defective in recombination (rad51, rad52, rad54, rad59) or NHEJ only (yku70, sir4). Increased Exo1 or TLC1 RNA did not alter checkpoint responses or restore NHEJ proficiency, but DNA repair defects of yku70 and rad27 (fen) mutants were differentially suppressed by the two genes. Overexpression of Exo1, but not mutant proteins containing substitutions in the conserved nuclease domain, increased recombination and suppressed HO and EcoRI enclonuclease-induced killing of rad50 strains. exo1 rad50 mutants lacking both nuclease activities exhibited a high proportion of enlarged, G2-arrested cells and displayed a synergistic decrease in DSB-induced plasmid:chromosome recombination. These results support a model in which the nuclease activity of the Rad50/Mre11/Xrs2 complex is required for recombinational repair, but not NHEJ. We suggest that the 5'-3' exo activity of Exol is able to substitute for Rad50/Mre11/Xrs2 in rescission of specific classes of DSB end structures. Gene-specific suppression by TLC1, which encodes the RNA subunit of the yeast telomerase complex, demonstrates that components of telomerase can also impact on DSB repair pathways.

Drosophila melanogaster; however, lacks telomerase, and telomere-specific non-LTR retrotransposons, HeT-A and TART, transpose specifically to chromosome ends. A Drosophila strain, Gaiano, that has long telomeres has been identified. We extracted the major Gaiano chromosomes into an Oregon-R genetic background and examined the resulting stocks after 60 generations. In situ hybridization using HeT-A and TART sequences showed that, in stocks carrying either the X or the second chromosome from Gaiano, only the Gaiano-derived chromosomes display long telomeres. However, in stocks carrying the Gaiano third chromosome, all telomeres are substantially elongated, indicating that the Gaiano chromosome 3 carries a factor that increases HeT-A and TART addition to the telomeres. We show that this factor, termed Telomere elongation (Tel), is dominant and localizes as a single unit to 69 on the genetic map. The long telomeres tend to associate with each other in both polytene and mitotic cells. These associations depend on telomere length rather than the presence of Tel. Associations between metaphase chromosomes are resolved during anaphase, suggesting that they are mediated by either proteinaceous links or DNA hydrogen bonding, rather than covalent DNA-DNA bonds.

TI The PRC-barrel: a widespread, conserved domain shared by photosynthetic reaction center subunits and proteins of RNA metabolism SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: The H subunit of the purple bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (PRC-H) is important for the assembly of the photosynthetic reaction center and appears to regulate electron transfer during the reduction of the secondary quinone. It contains a distinct cytoplasmic beta-barrel domain whose fold has no close structural relationship to any other well known beta-barrel domain. Results: We show that the PRC-H beta-barrel domain is the prototype of a novel superfamily of protein domains, the PRC-barrels, approximately 80 residues long, which is widely represented in bacteria, archaea and plants. This domain is also present at the carboxyl terminus of the pan-bacterial protein RimM, which is involved in ribosomal maturation and processing of 16S rRNA. A family of small proteins conserved in all known euryarchaea are composed entirely of a single stand-alone copy of the domain. Versions of this domain from photosynthetic proteobacteria contain a conserved acidic residue that is thought to regulate the reduction of quinones in the light-induced electron-transfer reaction. Closely related forms containing this acidic residue are also found in several non-photosynthetic bacteria, as well as in cyanobacteria, which have reaction centers with a different organization. We also show that the domain contains several determinants that could mediate specific protein-protein interactions. Conclusions: The PRC-barrel is a widespread, ancient domain that appears to have been recruited to a variety of biological systems, ranging from RNA processing to photosynthesis. Identification of this versatile domain in numerous proteins could aid investigation of unexplored aspects of their biology.

TI The GOLD domain, a novel protein module involved in Golgi function and secretion SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: Members of the p24 (p24/gp25L/emp24/Erp) family of proteins have been shown to be critical components of the coated vesicles that are involved in the transportation of cargo molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. The p24 proteins form hetero-oligomeric complexes and are believed to function as receptors for specific secretory cargo. Results: Using sensitive sequence-profile analysis methods, we identified a novel beta-strand-rich domain, the GOLD (Golgi dynamics) domain, in the p24 proteins and several other proteins with roles in Golgi dynamics and secretion. This domain is predicted to mediate diverse protein-protein interactions. Other than in the p24 proteins, the GOLD domain is always found combined with lipid-or membrane-association domains such as the pleckstrin homology (PH), Sec14p and FYVE domains. Conclusions: The identification of the GOLD domain could aid in directed investigation of the role of the p24 proteins in the secretion process. The newly detected group of GOLD-domain proteins, which might simultaneously bind membranes and other proteins, point to the existence of a novel class of adaptors that could have a role in the assembly of membrane-associated complexes or in regulating assembly of cargo into membranous vesicles.

TI The SWIRM domain: a conserved module found in chromosomal proteins points to novel chromatin-modifying activities SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: Eukaryotic chromosomal components, especially histones, are subject to a wide array of covalent modifications and catalytic reorganization. These modifications have an important role in the regulation of chromatin structure and are mediated by large multisubunit complexes that contain modular proteins with several conserved catalytic and noncatalytic adaptor domains. Results: Using computational sequence-profile analysis methods, we identified a previously uncharacterized, predicted alpha-helical domain of about 85 residues in chromosomal proteins such as Swi3p, Rsc8p, Moira and several other uncharacterized proteins. This module, termed the SWIRM domain, is predicted to mediate specific protein-protein interactions in the assembly of chromatin-protein complexes. In one group of proteins, which are highly conserved throughout the crown-group eukaryotes, the SWIRM domain is linked to a catalytic domain related to the monoamine and polyamine oxidases. Another human protein has the SWIRM domain linked to a JAB domain that is involved in protein degradation through the ubiquitin pathway. Conclusions: Identification of the SWIRM domain could help in directed experimental analysis of specific interactions in chromosomal proteins. We predict that the proteins in which it is combined with an amino-oxidase domain define a novel class of chromatin-modifying enzymes, which are likely to oxidize either the amino group of basic residues in histones and other chromosomal proteins or the polyamines in chromatin, and thereby alter the charge distribution. Other forms, such as KIAA1915, may link chromatin modification to ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation.

Nevertheless, the lack of efficient techniques for assessing the biological implications of gene-expression data remains an important obstacle in exploiting this information. Results: To address this need, we have developed a mining technique based on the analysis of literature profiles generated by extracting the frequencies of certain terms from thousands of abstracts stored in the Medline literature database. Terms are then filtered on the basis of both repetitive occurrence and co-occurrence among multiple gene entries. Finally, clustering analysis is performed on the retained frequency values, shaping a coherent picture of the functional relationship among large and heterogeneous lists of genes. Such data treatment also provides information on the nature and pertinence of the associations that were formed. Conclusions: The analysis of patterns of term occurrence in abstracts constitutes a means of exploring the biological significance of large and heterogeneous lists of genes. This approach should contribute to optimizing the exploitation of microarray technologies by providing investigators with an interface between complex expression data and large literature resources.

Gustchina, Alla Wlodawer, Alexander TI Retroviral proteases SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Review AB The proteases of retroviruses, such as leukemia viruses, immunodeficiency viruses (including the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV), infectious anemia viruses, and mammary tumor viruses, form a family with the proteases encoded by several retrotransposons in Drosophila and yeast and endogenous viral sequences in primates. Retroviral proteases are key enzymes in viral propagation and are initially synthesized with other viral proteins as polyprotein precursors that are subsequently cleaved by the viral protease activity at specific sites to produce mature, functional units. Active retroviral proteases are homodimers, with each dimer structurally related to the larger class of single-chain aspartic peptidases. Each monomer has four structural elements: two distinct hairpin loops, a wide loop containing the catalytic aspartic acid and an alpha helix. Retroviral gene sequences can vary between infected individuals, and mutations affecting the binding cleft of the protease or the substrate cleavage sites can alter the response of the virus to therapeutic drugs. The need to develop new drugs against HIV will continue to be, to a large extent, the driving force behind further characterization of retroviral proteases.

TI Extensive domain shuffling in transcription regulators of DNA viruses and implications for the origin of fungal APSES transcription factors SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: Viral DNA-binding proteins have served as good models to study the biochemistry of transcription regulation and chromatin dynamics. Computational analysis of viral DNA-binding regulatory proteins and identification of their previously undetected homologs encoded by cellular genomes might lead to a better understanding of their function and evolution in both viral and cellular systems. Results: The phyletic range and the conserved DNA-binding domains of the viral regulatory proteins of the poxvirus D6R/N1R and baculoviral Bro protein families have not been previously defined. Using computational analysis, we show that the amino-terminal module of the D6R/N1R proteins defines a novel, conserved DNA-binding domain (the KilA-N domain) that is found in a wide range of proteins of large bacterial and eukaryotic DNA viruses. The KilA-N domain is suggested to be homologous to the fungal DNA-binding APSES domain. We provide evidence for the KilA-N and APSES domains sharing a common fold with the nucleic acid-binding modules of the LAGLIDADG nucleases and the amino-terminal domains of the tRNA endonuclease. The amino-terminal module of the Bro proteins is another, distinct DNA-binding domain (the Bro-N domain) that is present in proteins whose domain architectures parallel those of the KilA-N domain-containing proteins. A detailed analysis of the KilA-N and Bro-N domains and the associated domains points to extensive domain shuffling and lineage-specific gene family expansion within DNA virus genomes. Conclusions: We define a large class of novel viral DNA-binding proteins and their cellular homologs and identify their domain architectures. On the basis of phyletic pattern analysis we present evidence for a probable viral origin of the fungus-specific cell-cycle regulatory transcription factors containing the APSES DNA-binding domain. We also demonstrate the extensive role of lineage-specific gene expansion and domain shuffling, within a limited set of approximately 24 domains, in the generation of the diversity of virus-specific regulatory proteins.

TI Selection in the evolution of gene duplications SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID AMINO-ACID SUBSTITUTIONS; DROSOPHILA-MELANOGASTER; METALLOTHIONEIN GENE; ESCHERICHIA-COLI; COMPLETE GENOMES; CULEX-PIPIENS; RATE VARIES; AMPLIFICATION; RESISTANCE; YEAST AB Background: Gene duplications have a major role in the evolution of new biological functions. Theoretical studies often assume that a duplication per se is selectively neutral and that, following a duplication, one of the gene copies is freed from purifying (stabilizing) selection, which creates the potential for evolution of a new function. Results: In search of systematic evidence of accelerated evolution after duplication, we used data from 26 bacterial, six archaeal, and seven eukaryotic genomes to compare the mode and strength of selection acting on recently duplicated genes (paralogs) and on similarly diverged, unduplicated orthologous genes in different species. We find that the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions (K(n)/K(s)) in most paralogous pairs is <<1 and that paralogs typically evolve at similar rates, without significant asymmetry, indicating that both paralogs produced by a duplication are subject to purifying selection. This selection is, however, substantially weaker than the purifying selection affecting unduplicated orthologs that have diverged to the same extent as the analyzed paralogs. Most of the recently duplicated genes appear to be involved in various forms of environmental response; in particular, many of them encode membrane and secreted proteins. Conclusions: The results of this analysis indicate that recently duplicated paralogs evolve faster than orthologs with the same level of divergence and similar functions, but apparently do not experience a phase of neutral evolution. We hypothesize that gene duplications that persist in an evolving lineage are beneficial from the time of their origin, due primarily to a protein dosage effect in response to variable environmental conditions; duplications are likely to give rise to new functions at a later phase of their evolution once a higher level of divergence is reached.

Makarova, Kira S. Davidovic, Laetitia Pellegrini, Luca TI The rhomboids: a near ubiquitous family of intramembrane serine proteases evolved via multiple horizontal gene transfers SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background. The rhomboid family consists of polytopic membrane proteins, which show a level of evolutionary conservation that is unique among membrane proteins. The rhomboids are present in nearly all sequenced genomes of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes, with the exception of several species with small genomes. On the basis of experimental studies with the developmental regulator Rhomboid from Drosophila and the AarA protein from the bacterium Providencia stuartii, the rhomboids are thought to be intramembrane serine proteases whose signaling function is conserved in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Results. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggests that, despite the broad distribution in all three kingdoms of life, the rhomboid family was not present in the last universal common ancestor of the extant life forms, but instead evolved in bacteria and has been acquired by archaea and eukaryotes via several independent horizontal gene transfer events. In eukaryotes, two distinct, ancient horizontal acquisitions apparently gave rise to the two major subfamilies typified by Rhomboid and PARL (presenilin-associated Rhomboid-like protein), respectively. The subsequent evolution of the rhomboid family in eukaryotes proceeded via multiple duplications and functional diversification through the addition of extra transmembrane helices and other domains in different orientations relative to the conserved core that harbors the protease activity. Conclusions. Although the near universal presence of the rhomboid family in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes appears to suggest that this protein is part of the heritage of the last universal common ancestor, phylogenetic tree analysis indicates bacterial origin with subsequent dissemination via horizontal gene transfer. This emphasizes the importance of explicit phylogenetic analysis for the reconstruction of ancestral life forms. A hypothetical scenario of origin of intracellular membrane proteases from membrane transporters is proposed.

TI Gene-expression profiling of the response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and melanoma metastases to systemic IL-2 administration SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has direct pluripotent effects on cells with immune and inflammatory function. Which of these effects has a critical role in mediating tumor regression remains enigmatic. In this study, we compared early changes in transcriptional profiles of circulating mononuclear cells with those occurring within the microenvironment of melanoma metastases following systemic IL-2 administration. Results: The results suggest that the immediate effects of IL-2 administration on the tumor microenvironment is transcriptional activation of genes predominantly associated with monocyte cell function; minimal effects were noted on migration, activation and proliferation of T cells. However, production of chemokines and markers of adhesion and migration within few hours of IL-2 administration may be responsible for a secondary recruitment of immune cells to the tumor site later. Conclusion: Our results suggest that IL-2 induces inflammation at tumor sites with three predominant secondary effects: activation of antigen-presenting monocytes; massive production of chemoattractants that may recruit other immune cells to the tumor (including MIG and PARC, which are specific for T cells); and activation of cytolytic mechanisms in monocytes (calgranulin, grancalcin) and NK cells (NKG5, NK4).

TI Molecular archeology of L1 insertions in the human genome SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article AB Background: As the rough draft of the human genome sequence nears a finished product and other genome-sequencing projects accumulate sequence data exponentially, bioinformatics is emerging as an important tool for studies of transposon biology. In particular, L1 elements exhibit a variety of sequence structures after insertion into the human genome that are amenable to computational analysis. We carried out a detailed analysis of the anatomy and distribution of L1 elements in the human genome using a new computer program, TSDfinder, designed to identify transposon boundaries precisely. Results: Structural variants of L1 elements shared similar trends in the length and quality of their target site duplications (TSDs) and poly(A) tails. Furthermore, we found no correlation between the composition and genomic location of the pre-insertion locus and the resulting anatomy of the L1 insertion. We verified that L1 insertions with TSDs have the 5'-TTAAAA-3' cleavage site associated with L1 endonuclease activity. In addition, the second target DNA cut required for L1 insertion weakly matches the consensus pattern TTAAAA. On the other hand, the L1-internal breakpoints of deleted and inverted L1 elements do not resemble L1 endonuclease cleavage sites. Finally, the genome sequence data indicate that whereas singly inverted elements are common, doubly inverted elements are almost never found. Conclusions: The sequence data give no indication that the creation of L1 structural variants depends on characteristics of the insertion locus. In addition, the formation of 5' truncated and 5' inverted L1s are probably not due to the action of the L1 endonuclease.

TI Evolution of gene fusions: horizontal transfer versus independent events SO GENOME BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID BACTERIAL HYPERTHERMOPHILES; COMPARATIVE GENOMICS; PROTEIN SEQUENCES; ARCHAEA; CLASSIFICATION; ALIGNMENT; EXCHANGE; CONTEXT; ORIGIN; TREES AB Background: Gene fusions can be used as tools for functional prediction and also as evolutionary markers. Fused genes often show a scattered phyletic distribution, which suggests a role for processes other than vertical inheritance in their evolution. Results: The evolutionary history of gene fusions was studied by phylogenetic analysis of the domains in the fused proteins and the orthologous domains that form stand-alone proteins. Clustering of fusion components from phylogenetically distant species was construed as evidence of dissemination of the fused genes by horizontal transfer. Of the 51 examined gene fusions that are represented in at least two of the three primary kingdoms (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota), 31 were most probably disseminated by cross-kingdom horizontal gene transfer, whereas 14 appeared to have evolved independently in different kingdoms and two were probably inherited from the common ancestor of modern life forms. On many occasions, the evolutionary scenario also involves one or more secondary fissions of the fusion gene. For approximately half of the fusions, stand-alone forms of the fusion components are encoded by juxtaposed genes, which are known or predicted to belong to the same operon in some of the prokaryotic genomes. This indicates that evolution of gene fusions often, if not always, involves an intermediate stage, during which the future fusion components exist as juxtaposed and co-regulated, but still distinct, genes within operons. Conclusion: These findings suggest a major role for horizontal transfer of gene fusions in the evolution of protein-domain architectures, but also indicate that independent fusions of the same pair of domains in distant species is not uncommon, which suggests positive selection for the multidomain architectures.

These deletions are mediated by large (similar to300 kb) duplicated blocks of DNA of near-identical sequence. Previously, we showed that the orthologous region of the mouse genome is devoid of such duplicated segments. Here, we extend our studies to include the generation of similar to3.3 Mb of genomic sequence from the mouse Williams syndrome region, of which just over 1.4 Mb is Finished to high accuracy. Comparative analyses of the mouse and human sequences within and immediately flanking the interval commonly deleted in Williams syndrome have facilitated the identification of nine previously unreported genes, provided detailed sequence-based information regarding 30 genes residing in the region, and revealed a number of potentially interesting conserved noncoding sequences. Finally, to facilitate comparative sequence analysis, we implemented several enhancements to the program Pipmaker, including the addition of links from annotated features within a generated percent-identity plot to specific records in public databases. Taken together, the results reported here provide all important comparative sequence resource that should catalyze additional studies of Williams syndrome, including those that aim to characterize genes within the commonly deleted interval and to develop mouse models of the disorder.

We used high-throughput DNA sequencing analysis to generate 4258 single-pass sequencing reactions (known as expressed sequence tags, or ESTs) obtained from the 5' (97) and 3' (4161) ends of human cDNA clones from a HBMSC cDNA library. Our goal was to obtain tag sequences from the maximum number of possible genes and to deposit them in the publicly accessible database for ESTs (dbEST of the National Center for Biotechnology Information). Comparisons of our EST sequencing data with nonredundant human mRNA and protein databases showed that the ESTs represent 1860 gene clusters. The EST sequencing data analysis showed 60 novel genes found only in this cDNA library after BLAST analysis against 3.0 million ESTs in NCBI's dbEST database. The BLAST search also showed the identified ESTs that have close homology to known genes, which suggests that these may be newly recognized members of known gene families. The gene expression profile of this cell type is revealed by analyzing both the frequency with which a message is encountered and the functional categorization of expressed sequences. Comparing an EST sequence with the human genomic sequence database enables assignment of an EST to a specific chromosomal region (a process called digital gene localization) and often enables immediate partial determination of intron/exon boundaries within the genomic structure. It is expected that high-throughput EST sequencing and data mining analysis will greatly promote our understanding of gene expression in these cells and of growth and development of the skeleton.

Here we report the construction of an similar to 9-Mb sequence-ready bacterial clone contig map of Xq26.3-q27.3. The contig was constructed by screening BAC/PAC libraries with markers spaced at similar to 85-kb intervals. We identified overlapping clones by end-sequencing framework clones to generate 407 new sequence-tagged sites, followed by PCR verification of overlaps. Contig assembly was based on clone restriction fingerprinting and the landmark information. We identified a minimal overlap contig for genomic sequencing, which has yielded 7.7 Mb of finished sequence and 1.5 Mb of draft sequence. The transcriptional mapping effort localized 57 known and predicted genes by database searching, STS content mapping, and sequencing, followed by sequence annotation. These transcriptional units represent candidate genes for HPCX and multiple other hereditary diseases at Xq26.3-q27.3. C1 NHGRI, Canc Genet Brach, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

We review the evidence that UAT is a transmembrane protein that transports urate, describe our molecular model for this protein, and discuss the evidence from epitope tag and lipid bilayer studies that support this model of the transporter. The properties of recombinant UAT are compared with those of urate transport into membrane vesicles derived from proximal tubule cells in rat kidney cortex. In addition, we review channel functions predicted by our molecular model that resulted in the novel finding that the urate channel activity is regulated by sugars and adenosine. Finally, the presence and possible functions of at least 4 isoforms of UAT and a closely related gene hUAT2 are discussed. C1 Mt Sinai Sch Med, Dept Med, Div Nephrol, New York, NY 10029 USA.

Thus novel glycosylation pathways have been uncovered in two such knockouts, namely alpha-mannosidase II null mice and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:alpha-D-mannoside beta1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II null mice. This chapter documents the glycosylation profiles of a wide range of organs from the normal mouse which should facilitate future glycomics studies of knockout mice. Furthermore, we report applications of our screening technology in studies of the myodystrophy mouse and a human leukodystrophy.

The mortality rates for heart disease and stroke are also significantly greater in Estonia than Sweden. In a study comparing cardiovascular risk factors of Swedish and Estonian men and women, we found a significantly better psychosocial profile in Swedes than in Estonians. Some of the factors that were worse in Estonians also correlated with higher heart rate, a factor that may be causally associated with coronary artery disease. There were no consistent cultural differences in traditional risk factors except for a much higher smoking rate in Estonians, especially among women. These data indicate that psychosocial factors may play an important part in the risk factor profile of Estonians through their influence on health behaviors and neuroendocrine factors.

Women coped well with the direct effects of disaster exposure. However, women with excellent spousal relationships were found to have worse outcomes following disaster than those with weaker spousal ties. This finding was in direct contrast to that for disaster-exposed males, whose outcomes were positively related to the strength of their spouse relationship. Findings are explained in terms of gender role expectations: Disaster primarily disrupts the role of the provider, a role traditionally assigned to men. Only when disaster exposure is accompanied by high expectations for nurturance - an obligation traditionally associated with the female role - does it have a negative impact on women's mental health. Similarities between the experiences of disaster and economic collapse are noted. C1 NIH, Off Behav & Social Sci Res, Bethesda, MD 20892 USA.

In a previous study, we have shown that PPARalpha null mice do not show increased hepatocyte proliferation after administration of peroxisome proliferators, confirming that PPARalpha is necessary for peroxisome proliferator-induced cell proliferation. However. the role of PPARalpha. if any. in compensatory lifer cell hyperplasia is not known. Therefore, we examined the role of PPARa in modulating compensatory liver cell proliferation occurring after partial hepatectomy (PH). Replicative DNA synthesis, as measured by bromodeoxyuridine labeling of liver cell nuclei. was significantly higher after 48 h post-hepatectomy in both wild type and PPARalpha-null mouse livers, as compared to sham-operated control mice. Interestingly. in PPARa-null mice labeling index was significantly higher at 60 h after hepatectomy compared to wild-type mice: however, at 72 and 84 h the values were comparable in both the groups. Hepatic levels of mRNAs encoding CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, cyclin B1, cyclin D1 and PCNA were all elevated at 60 and 72 h post-hepatectomy and this effect was similar in both PPARalpha genotypes. Similarly, CDK2, CDK4. cyclin B1, cyclin D1 and PCNA proteins also showed comparable increase in both the groups. These results show that PPARalpha receptor is not essential for increased expression of CDKs, cyclins, PCNA and enhanced cell proliferation that Occur after PH. This strongly suggests that the signaling for increased cell proliferation in response to PH is distinctly different from that observed after administration of peroxisome proliferators.

Using immunoblotting techniques, the Kv3.2 protein was weakly detected at postnatal age day 7 (P7), and full expression was attained at P21 in tissue extracts from homogenized hippocampal preparations. A similar developmental profile was observed using immunohistochemical techniques in hippocampal tissue sections. Kv3.2 protein expression was clustered on the somata and proximal dendrites of presumed inhibitory interneurons. Using double immunofluorescence, Kv3.2 subunit expression was detected on subpopulations of GABAergic inhibitory interneurons. Kv3.2 was detected in similar to100% of parvalbumin-positive interneurons, 86% of interneurons expressing nitric oxide synthase, and similar to50% of somatostatin-immunoreactive cells. Kv3.2 expression was absent from both calbindin- and calretinin-containing interneurons. Using immunoprecipitation, we further demonstrate that Kv3.2 and its related subunit Kv3.1b are coexpressed within the same protein complexes in the hippocampus. These data demonstrate that potassium channel subunit Kv3.2 expression is developmentally regulated in a specific set of interneurons. The vast majority of these interneuron subpopulations possess a "fast-spiking" phenotype, consistent with a role for currents through Kv3.2 containing channels in determining action potential kinetics in these cells.

Semi-quantitative analysis demonstrated that, depending on the hippocampal layer, 72-88% of CB1-expressing interneurons coexpress the 5-HT3A subunit. Within the DG, 5-HT3A/CB1 double-labeled neurons were confined to the subgranular layer, where close to 80% of all CB1 -expressing basket neurons were found to contain 5-HT3A subunit transcripts. These results provide the first evidence indicating that the only ion channel receptor for serotonin and central CB1 cannabinoid receptor coexist in neurons containing the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). These findings suggest possible interactions between the cannabinoid and serotonergic systems at the level of GABA neurotransmission. However, activation of 5-HT3- or CB1-receptors are likely to have opposing regulatory effects on GABA neurotransmission, as 5-HT3 receptor activation by serotonin results in the release of GABA, while CB1 activation by cannabinoids results in inhibition of GABA release.

To date, there have been more than 15000 articles published concerning the relationship between cytokines and the central nervous system (CNS). Over half of these articles have been published in the last 5 years. From such vast number of studies, two major topics emerge as the critical issues: 1) how do cytokines modulate the functions of the CNS? 2) what is the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases? Thus far, it has been clearly established that cytokines can alter the functions of the CNS in specific manners, invoking CNS-controlled autonomic, neuroendocrine, and behavioral responses. Induced expression of cytokines has also been found in the CNS during brain injury and infection, contributing to the immunological processes at this "immunologically privileged" site. Furthermore, increasing evidence points to the potential involvement of cytokines in the induction and modulation of an array of neurological diseases ranging from Alzheimer's disease to chronic fatigue syndrome. Despite such progress, however, substantial obstacles remain for both the basic understanding and the potential clinical exploitation of how cytokines interact with CNS. In this review, we will attempt to synopsize the current theories and evidence regarding the answers to the above-mentioned critical questions. These issues will be reviewed not only in isolation, as most of the original reports focused on only one of the questions, but also in parallel such that inter-issue insights may be gained.

Before a replication-competent adenoviral vector expressing HSV-tk (Ad.OW34) can be used in clinical studies for intratumoral injections in patients with cutaneous lesions of head and neck cancer or intralesional injection for in situ vaccination strategy in advanced metastatic melanoma patients, risks have to be estimated in animal studies. In an attempt to assess potential toxicology, dissemination, persistence and shedding, we injected Ad.OW34 subcutaneously into cotton rats. (Sigmodon hispidus), which are considered a semipermissive host for human adenoviruses. The animals underwent one or two subcutaneous injection cycles with 2.3 x 10(12) viral particles/kg each or a single course with 6.9 x 10(13) viral particles/kg and were analyzed at defined time points for histopathological changes in the brain, heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys, ovaries, and skin. Additionally, these tissues as well as urine, feces, mouth, and skin swabs were analyzed at multiple time points by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction for the presence of vector sequences. The only significant treatment-related histopathologic finding was dermatitis with mild acanthosis at the site of vector injection. All other tissues evaluated were within normal limits or showed changes that were most likely incidental or spontaneous in nature. Vector sequences were detected in the skin at the injection site and to a lesser extent in the liver, spleen, and lungs. In addition, small amounts of vector DNA were detected in the ovaries. The vector sequences were rapidly cleared and the absence of viral sequences in the excreta and swabs of the majority of animals suggest that there was no significant replication of the vector in this host. The administration of Ad.OW34 was also associated with mild hyperamylasemia, lymphocytosis, and granulocytosis; however, we did not observe any clinical signs of illness or death in the experimental animals over the course of the study.

Although we succeeded in our primary objective of demonstrating expression of human factor IX we encountered numerous toxic side effects that proved to be dose limiting. Following intravenous administration of AVC3FIX5 at doses of 3.4 x 10(11) vector particles/kg to 3.8 x 10(12) vector particles/kg, the animals in our study developed antibodies against human factor IX, and dose-dependent elevations of enzymes specific for liver, muscle, and lung injury. In addition, these animals showed dose-dependent prolongation of clotting times as well as acute, dose-dependent decreases in platelet counts and concomitant elevation of fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor. These abnormalities may be caused by the direct toxic effects of the adenovirus vector itself, or may result indirectly from the accompanying acute inflammatory response marked by elevations in IL-6, a key regulator of the acute inflammatory response. The rhesus macaque may be a useful animal model in which to evaluate mechanisms of adenovirus toxicities that have been encountered during clinical gene therapy trials.

However, many studies have also demonstrated potent immune responses directed at both vector and transduced cells. We examined in vitro responses of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to virus exposure as a model for this host response. PBMC were isolated from normal donors and incubated with wild-type adenovirus (Ad5), Ad5 variants deleted for segments of E1 and/or E3, and empty viral capsids. Proinflammatory cytokine release was monitored for 96 hr. Induction of TNF-alpha by intact virions was low although stimulation by empty capsid gave a significant and sustained response. Induction of IL-6, GM-CSF, and a panel alpha- and beta-chemokines by intact virions was prominent, often approaching results obtained with 2.5 mg/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Responses were generally independent of virion genetic composition and were only partially blunted when UV-inactivated virus was used. Dose-response data showed 100-fold increases in virion concentration produced a maximum 3-fold increase in cytokine release, suggesting saturation. Surprisingly, prominent stimulation occurred after addition of empty capsid, which typically provoked responses equivalent to those seen with LPS stimulation. We present arguments that cellular signal transduction mechanisms activated by binding of virions/capsids stimulate transcription of proinflammatory cytokine genes.

IL-10 is a potent antiinflammatory/immune cytokine, which has received growing attention for its therapeutic potential. Human IL-10 (hIL-10) production was virus dose dependent after in vitro infection of HSG cells, a human submandibular gland cell line. The vector-derived hIL-10 produced was biologically active, as the medium from rAAVhIL10-infected HSG cells caused a dose-dependent blockade of IL-12 secretion from spleen cells of IL-10 knockout mice challenged with heat-killed Brucella abortus. Administration of rAAVhIL10 (10(10) genomes per gland) to both mouse submandibular glands led to hIL-10 secretion into the bloodstream (similar to1-5 pg/ml), that is, in an endocrine manner, which was stable for similar to2 months. Salivary gland administration of rAAVhIL10 under experimental conditions was more efficacious than intravenous administration (similar to0.5-0.7 pg/ml). Also, hIL-10 was readily secreted in vitro from organ cultures of minced submandibular glands infected with rAAVhIL10, 6 or 8 weeks earlier. Consistent with these results, hIL-10 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in submandibular glands of mice infected with rAAVhIL10 but not from control mice. At these doses, little to no hIL-10 was detected in mouse saliva. Using a rAAV serotype 2 vector encoding beta-galactosidase, we observed that the primary parenchymal target cells were ductal. These findings represent the first report of rAAV use to target exocrine glands for systemic secretion of a therapeutic protein, and support the notion that rAAV serotype 2 vectors may be useful in salivary glands for local (periglandular) and systemic gene-based protein therapeutics.

(1997). Here, we report the highly efficient transduction into different human, murine and monkey cell lines using a scaled-up protocol for producing SV40 pseudovirions, packaged in vitro, carrying the human multidrug-resistance gene MDR1 encoding P-glycoprotein (P-gp) or the green fluorescent protein reporter gene (GFP) under control of SV40 and cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoters. The percentage of expressing cells was proportional to the number of transducing particles, with close to 100% of cells transduced at optimal ratios of transducing particles to cells. The ability to confer multidrug resistance was evaluated by measuring dye efflux and cell-surface expression in infected cells. The relative level of expression of P-gp driven by the different promoters varied among different cell lines. In human lymphoblastoid cells, which express high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (a surface receptor for SV40), constructs that carry an intron yield the highest expression. Our experiments further demonstrate that MDR1 and GFP expression driven by these promoters is transient; however, transduced cells remain MDR1-positive if selected in colchicine. Thus, the SV40 vectors are well suited to situations in which only short-term expression is required or expression is selected, such as for bone marrow protection during chemotherapy.

Methyl groups in the form of S-adenosylmethionine are used for the synthesis of many essential compounds (e.g., creatine, phosphatidylcholine, and the methylation of DNA in gene expression). Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) is an abundant enzyme in liver. It catalyzes the methylation of glycine by using S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to form N-methylglycine (sarcosine) with the concommitant production of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy). It plays an important role in the economy of methyl groups in the body. The function of GNMT has been hypothesized to provide an alternative route for the conversion of excess AdoMet to AdoHcy in order to preserve the AdoMet/AdoHcy ratio. GNMT is also inhibited by a specific form of folate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate pentaglutamate. As such, GNMT participates in a regulatory scheme that links the de novo synthesis of methyl groups to the availability of dietary methionine. This hypothesis can now be tested in man. We report here for the first time two Italian sibs who are compound heterzygotes in the gene that encodes GNMT. Both have evidence of mild liver disease. Each bears the same two missense mutations, one in exon 1 (Leu49Pro) and the second in exon 4 (His176Asn). Restriction enzyme analysis of panels of diverse DNA samples indicates that these mutations are not attributable to a common polymorphism.

A frequently used approach is the Bonferroni adjustment, but this is known to be often severely conservative. As an alternative we use the method of importance sampling to accurately and efficiently obtain required exceedance probabilities. This method is comprehensive in the sense that it has application to exceedance probabilities for other classes of test statistics, such as those for linkage disequilibrium or Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at multiple loci. We illustrate the importance sampling technique by focusing on affected sib pair tests done at a large number of fully informative markers. We demonstrate how our approach can be used to obtain exceedance probabilities for arbitrary marker spacings, and we compare our approach with that of Feingold et al. [1993], which uses the method of large deviations and does not provide the means for adjusting for unequal marker spacing. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.

They evaluated the power of a variety of family-based and nonfamily-based designs for detecting an association between a candidate allele and disease. Because they were concerned with diseases with low penetrances, their power calculations assumed that unaffected individuals can be treated as a random sample from the population. They predicted that this assumption rendered their sample size calculations slightly conservative. We generalize their partial ascertainment conditioning by including the status of the unaffected sibs in the calculations of the distribution and power of the statistic used to compare the allele frequency in affected offspring to the estimated frequency in the parents, based on sibships with genotyped affected and unaffected sibs. Sample size formulas for our full ascertainment methods are presented. The sample sizes for our procedure are compared to those of Teng and Risch. The numerical results and simulations indicate that the simplifying assumption used in Teng and Risch can produce both conservative and anticonservative results. The magnitude of the difference between the sample sizes needed by their partial ascertainment approximation and the full ascertainment is small in the circumstances they focused on but can be appreciable in others, especially when the baseline penetrances are moderate. Two other statistics, using different estimators for the variance of the basic statistic comparing the allele frequencies in the affected and unaffected sibs are introduced. One of them incorporates an estimate of the null variance obtained from an auxiliary sample and appears to noticeably decrease the sample sizes required to achieve a prespecified power.

Corresponding to each underlying genetic model there is a particular set of scores assigned to the genotypes that maximizes its power. When the variance of the test statistic is known, the formulas for approximate power and associated sample size are readily obtained. In practice, however, the variance of the test statistic needs to be estimated. We present formulas for the required sample size to achieve a prespecified power that account for the need to estimate the variance of the test statistic. When the underlying genetic model is unknown one can incur a substantial loss of power when a test suitable for one mode of inheritance is used where another mode is the true one. Thus, tests having good power properties relative to the optimal tests for each model are useful. These tests are called efficiency robust and we study two of them: the maximin efficiency robust test is a linear combination of the standardized optimal tests that has high efficiency and the MAX test, the maximum of the standardized optimal tests. Simulation results of the robustness of these two tests indicate that the more computationally involved MAX test is preferable. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.

In order to evaluate the potential utility of this assay method in a clinical laboratory setting, we subjected the PCR products of 73 CF patients known to bear CFTR mutations to this analytic technique. We used thermal denaturation profile parameters specified by the MELT program tool, made available by Stanford University. Using this strategy, we determined an initial analytic sensitivity of 90.4% for any of 73 known CFTR mutations. Most of the mutations not detected by DHPLC under these conditions are cc-substitutions. This information may eventually help to improve the MELT algorithm. Increasing column denaturation temperatures for one or two degrees above those recommended by the MELT program allowed 100% detection of CFTR mutations tested. By comparing DHPLC methodology used in this study with the recently reported study based on Wavemaker 3.4.4 software (Transgenomic, Omaha, NE) [Le Marechal et al., 2001) and with previous SSCP analysis of CFTR mutations [Ravnik-Glavac et al., 19941 we emphasized differences and similarities in order to refine the DHPLC system and discuss the relationship to the alternative approaches. We conclude that the DHPLC method, under optimized conditions, is highly accurate, rapid, and efficient in detecting mutations in the CFTR gene and may find high utility in screening individuals for CFTR mutations.

Comparison of the mutation patterns in different cancers may reveal clues on the natural history of the disease. Over the past 10 years, several databases of TP53 mutations have been developed. The most extensive of these databases is maintained and developed at the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The database compiles all mutations (somatic and inherited), as well as polymorphisms, that have been reported in the published literature since 1989. The IARC TP53 mutation dataset is the largest dataset available on the variations of any human gene. The database is avail, able at wwwdarc.fr/P53/. In this paper, we describe recent developments of the database. These developments include restructuring of the database, which is now patient-centered, with more detailed annotations on the patient (carcinogen exposure, virus infection, genetic background). In addition, a new on,line application to retrieve somatic mutation data and analyze mutation patterns is now available. We also discuss limitations on the use of the database and provide recommendations to users. C1 Int Agcy Res Canc, Mol Carcinogenesis Grp, WHO, F-69372 Lyon, France.

TI The Identification of Eight Novel Glucocerebrosidase (GBA) Mutations in Patients with Gaucher Disease SO HUMAN MUTATION LA English DT Article DE glucocerebrosidase; glucosidase; beta; acid; GBA; Gaucher disease; mutation analysis AB Mutations in the gene encoding for the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA) result in Gaucher disease. In this study, seven novel missense mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene (A136E, H162P, K198E, Y205C, F251L, Q350X and I402F) and a splice site mutation (IVS10+2T -> A) were identified by direct sequencing of three amplified segments of the glucocerebrosidase gene. Five of the novel mutations were found in patients with neuronopathic forms of Gaucher disease, two of which, K198E and F251L, appear to be associated with type 2 Gaucher disease.

This study was undertaken to determine, using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), whether cytogenetic changes support this hypothesis. Nine cases of APST, 10 of MPSC, and 11 of invasive serous carcinoma (SC) were analyzed by CGH. Tumor DNA was extracted from frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue from the primary ovarian tumor, using either sections with at least 70% tumor cells or tissue after relative enrichment by microdissection. Chromosomal imbalances were identified in 3 of 9 APST, 6 of 10 MPSC, and 11 of 11 SC. Three or more chromosomal imbalances were found in 0 of 9 APST, 4 of 10 MPSC, and 9 of 11 SC. Recurrent copy number alterations were grouped into 4 classes correlating with the different tumor types. Class I changes were present in APST and in MPSC or SC and included +8q (7 of 11 SC, 2 of 10 MPSC, 2 of 9 APST), -9p (5 of 11 SC, 0 of 10 MPSC, 1 of 9 APST), and +12 (+12p in 3/11 SC, +12 in 2 of 10 MPSC, +12 in 1 of 9 APST). Class II changes were found only in MPSC and SC, but not in APST. The most frequent examples were +3q (10 of 11 SC, 1 of 10 MPSC), -4q (5 of 11 SC, 1 of 10 MPSC), and -17p (5 of 11 SC, 1 of 10 MPSC). Class III changes were limited to SC, like -16q (7 of 11 SC) and -18q (6 of 11 SC). Class VI changes were unique to MPSC. Gain of 16p (3 of 10 MPSC) was the only aberration in this group. This aberration was not only unique to MPSC but was also the most frequent finding in MPSC. These data support the hypothesis that noninvasive serous tumors of fine ovary can be subdivided into 2 categories: APST and MPSC. The number of imbalances in MPSC is substantially higher than in APST and lower than in SC. Some changes in MPSC are shared with SC and APST and others with SC only, suggesting that a subset of MPSC may represent a stage in progression from APST to SC. Other cases of MPSC with independent genetic alterations may represent another subset of tumors that are a distinct entity from APST and SC. Copyright (C) 2002 by W.B. Saunders Company.

Water penetration is sensitive to details of thermodynamic conditions and interaction potentials, resulting in sharp, first-order like transitions between filled and empty states. Under wetting conditions, water molecules are transported efficiently through nanotubes. Implications on the design of nanotube channels for small molecules and protons will be discussed.
