Amperometric Flow‐Injection Determination of Phenolic Compounds Using a Biosensor with Immobilized Laccase, Peroxidase and Tyrosinase
Authors: Solná Renáta , Skládal Petr
Published: July 2005

A screen‐printed four‐electrode sensor based on immobilization of laccase (Coriolus hirsutus), peroxidase (horseradish) and tyrosinase (mushroom) in the same array was developed for monitoring of phenols. The enzymes were immobilized onto a self‐assembled monolayer (4‐mercapto‐1‐butanol) modified gold surface via covalent attachment by epichlorohydrin coupling. The experimental conditions for simultaneous operation of the three enzymes were optimized based on catechol determination. The sensors were further applied for the amperometric detection of several substituted phenolic compounds, carried out using a single line flow‐injection system. Hydrogen peroxide served as co‐substrate for peroxidase. The limits of detection for phenols in aqueous solutions were in the micromolar range, one assay was completed in less than 5 min. The preliminary studies showed that the compatibility of the above mentioned enzyme array enabled the multielectrode biosensor to be applied to real samples including industrial wastewaters and surface waters.
Genome‐wide array‐based comparative genomic hybridization of natural killer cell lymphoma/leukemia: Different genomic alteration patterns of aggressive NK‐cell leukemia and extranodal Nk/T‐cell lymphoma, nasal type

Natural killer (NK) cell lymphomas/leukemias are highly aggressive lymphoid malignancies, but little is known about their genomic alterations, and thus there is an urgent need for identification and analysis of NK cell lymphomas/leukemias. Recently, we developed our own array‐based comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) with an average resolution of 1.3 Mb. We performed an array CGH analysis for 27 NK‐cell lymphoma/leukemia cases that were classified into two disease groups based on the World Health Organization Classification (10 aggressive NK‐cell leukemia cases and 17 extranodal NK/T‐cell [NK/T] lymphomas, nasal type). We identified the differences in the genomic alteration patterns of the two groups. The recurrent regions characteristic of the aggressive NK‐cell leukemia group compared with those of the extranodal NK/T lymphoma, nasal‐type group, were gain of 1q and loss of 7p15.1‐p22.3 and 17p13.1. In particular, gain of 1q23.1‐24.2 (P = 0.041) and 1q31.3‐q44 (P = 0.003–0.047), and loss of 7p15.1‐p22.3 (P = 0.012–0.041) and 17p13.1 (P = 0.012) occurred significantly more frequently in the former than in the latter group. Recurrent regions characteristic of the extranodal NK/T lymphoma, nasal‐type group, compared with those of the other group were gain of 2q, and loss of 6q16.1‐q27, 11q22.3‐q23.3, 5p14.1‐p14.3, 5q34‐q35.3, 1p36.23‐p36.33, 2p16.1‐p16.3, 4q12, and 4q31.3‐q32.1. Our results can be expected to provide further insights into the genetic basis of lymphomagenesis and the clinicopathologic features of NK‐cell lymphomas/leukemias. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Dextran sodium sulfate strongly promotes colorectal carcinogenesis in ApcMin/+ mice: Inflammatory stimuli by dextran sodium sulfate results in development of multiple colonic neoplasms

Published: July 2005

The mouse model for familial adenomatous polyposis, ApcMin/+ mouse, contains a truncating mutation in the Apc gene and spontaneously develops numerous adenomas in the small intestine but few in the large bowel. Our study investigated whether dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment promotes the development of colonic neoplasms in ApcMin/+ mice. ApcMin/+ and Apc+/+ mice of both sexes were exposed to 2% dextran sodium sulfate in drinking water for 7 days, followed by no further treatment for 4 weeks. Immunohistochemistry for cyclooxygenase‐2, inducible nitric oxide synthase, β‐catenin, p53, and nitrotyrosine, and mutations of β‐catenin and K‐ras and loss of wild‐type allele of the Apc gene in the colonic lesions were examined. Sequential observation of female ApcMin/+ mice that received DSS was also performed up to week 5. At week 5, numerous colonic neoplasms developed in male and female ApcMin/+ mice but did not develop in Apc+/+ mice. Adenocarcinomas developed in ApcMin/+ mice that received DSS showed loss of heterozygosity of Apc and no mutations in the β‐catenin and K‐ras genes. The treatment also significantly increased the number of small intestinal polyps. Sequential observation revealed increase in the incidences of colonic neoplasms and dysplastic crypts in female ApcMin/+ mice given DSS. DSS treatment increased inflammation scores, associated with high intensity staining of β‐catenin, cyclooxygenase‐2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and nitrotyrosine. Interestingly, strong nuclear staining of p53 was specifically observed in colonic lesions of ApcMin/+ mice treated with DSS. Our results suggest a strong promotion effect of DSS in the intestinal carcinogenesis of ApcMin/+ mice. The findings also suggest that strong oxidative/nitrosative stress caused by DSS‐induced inflammation may contribute to the colonic neoplasms development. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
H2 relaxin overexpression increases in vivo prostate xenograft tumor growth and angiogenesis
Authors: Silvertown Josh D. , Ng Jonathan , Sato Takeya , Summerlee Alastair J. , Medin Jeffrey A.
Published: July 2005

Our study reports a preliminary investigation into the role of human H2 relaxin in prostate tumor growth. A luciferase‐expressing human prostate cancer cell line, PC‐3, was generated and termed PC3‐Luc. PC3‐Luc cells were transduced with lentiviral vectors engineering the expression of either enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) or both H2 relaxin and eGFP in a bicistronic format. These transduced cells were termed PC3‐Luc‐eGFP and PC3‐Luc‐H2/eGFP, respectively. To gauge effects, PC3‐Luc‐H2/eGFP and PC3‐Luc‐eGFP cells were injected into NOD/SCID mice and monitored over 6 weeks. PC‐3 tumor xenografts overexpressing H2 relaxin exhibited greater tumor volumes compared to control tumors. Circulating H2 relaxin levels in sera increased with the relative size of the tumor, with moderately elevated H2 relaxin levels in mice bearing PC3‐Luc‐H2/eGFP tumors compared to PC3‐Luc‐eGFP tumors. Zymographic analysis demonstrated that proMMP‐9 enzyme activity was significantly downregulated in H2 relaxin‐overexpressing tumors. An advanced angiogenic phenotype was observed in H2 relaxin‐overexpressing tumors indicated by greater intratumoral vascularization by immunohistochemical staining of endothelial cells with anti‐mouse CD31. Moreover, PC3‐Luc‐H2/eGFP tumors exhibited increased VEGF transcript by reverse‐transcription PCR, compared to basal levels in control animals. Taken together, our study provides the first account of a potential role of H2 relaxin in prostate tumor development. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Principal components at work: the empirical analysis of monetary policy with large data sets
Authors: Favero Carlo A. , Marcellino Massimiliano , Neglia Francesca
Published: July 2005

The empirical analysis of monetary policy requires the construction of instruments for future expected inflation. Dynamic factor models have been applied rather successfully to inflation forecasting. In fact, two competing methods have recently been developed to estimate large‐scale dynamic factor models based, respectively, on static and dynamic principal components. This paper combines the econometric literature on dynamic principal components and the empirical analysis of monetary policy. We assess the two competing methods for extracting factors on the basis of their success in instrumenting future expected inflation in the empirical analysis of monetary policy. We use two large data sets of macroeconomic variables for the USA and for the Euro area. Our results show that estimated factors do provide a useful parsimonious summary of the information used in designing monetary policy. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Markov switching causality and the money–output relationship
Authors: Psaradakis Zacharias , Ravn Morten O. , Sola Martin
Published: July 2005

The causal link between monetary variables and output is one of the most studied issues in macroeconomics. One puzzle from this literature is that the results of causality tests appear to be sensitive with respect to the sample period that one considers. As a way of overcoming this difficulty, we propose a method for analysing Granger causality which is based on a vector autoregressive model with time‐varying parameters. We model parameter time‐variation so as to reflect changes in Granger causality, and assume that these changes are stochastic and governed by an unobservable Markov chain. When applied to US data, our methodology allows us to reconcile previous puzzling differences in the outcome of conventional tests for money–output causality. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Inefficiency and heterogeneity in Turkish banking: 1990–2000
Authors: El‐Gamal Mahmoud A. , Inanoglu Hulusi
Published: July 2005

Recent studies have stressed the importance of privatization and openness to foreign competition for bank efficiency and economic growth. We study bank efficiency in Turkey, an emerging economy with great heterogeneity in bank types and ownership structures. Earlier studies of Turkish banking had three limitations: (i) excessive reliance on cost‐function frontier analyses, wherein volume of loans is a measure of banking output; (ii) pooling all banks or imposing ad hoc heterogeneity assumptions; and (iii) lack of a comprehensive panel data set for proper analysis of productivity and heterogeneity. We use an estimation–classification procedure to find likelihood‐driven classification of bank technologies in an 11‐year panel. In addition, we augment traditional cost‐frontier analysis with a labour‐efficiency analysis. We conclude that state banks are not particularly inefficient overall, but that they do utilize labour inefficiently. This partially supports recent calls for privatization. We also conclude that special finance houses (or Islamic banks) utilize the same technology as conventional domestic banks, and do so relatively efficiently. This suggests that they do not cause harm to the financial system. Finally, we conclude that foreign banks utilize a different technology from domestic ones. This suggests that one should not overstate their value to the financial sector. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
