Published: October 2004

AbstractAs the first leukocytes recruited during inflmmation, neutrophils are ideally situated to regulate the subsequent recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes. Here, we found that human neutrophils recruited by endothelial cells (EC), which had been stimulated with tumor necrosis factor α for 4 h, inhibited the adhesion of flowing, mixed mononuclear cells or purified lymphocytes over the subsequent 20 h but did not affect the adhesion of a secondary bolus of neutrophils. The degree of inhibition of lymphocyte adhesion increased with the duration of neutrophil-EC contact and with the number of recruited neutrophils. Antibody-blocking studies showed that lymphocyte adhesion was mediated predominantly by vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Recruited neutrophils reduced the EC expression of VCAM-1 but not intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) or E-selectin in a manner that mirrored the time- and number-dependent reduction in lymphocyte adhesion. VCAM-1 was not shed into the culture supernatant, and a panel of protease inhibitors was unable to reverse its down-regulation, indicating that it was not proteolytically degraded by neutrophils. In EC that had been in contact with neutrophils, the mRNA message for VCAM-1 but not ICAM-1 was down-regulated, indicating that alterations in transcriptional activity were responsible for the reduction in VCAM-1. Thus, under some inflammatory milieu, neutrophils may delay the recruitment of mononuclear leukocytes by regulating the expression of EC adhesion receptors.
CD93 interacts with the PDZ domain-containing adaptor protein GIPC: implications in the modulation of phagocytosis
Authors: Bohlson Suzanne S , Zhang Mingyu , Ortiz Christopher E , Tenner Andrea J 
Published: October 2004

AbstractCD93 was originally identified as a myeloid cell-surface marker and subsequently associated with an ability to modulate phagocytosis of suboptimally opsonized immunoglobulin G and complement particles in vitro. Recent studies using mice deficient in CD93 have demonstrated that this molecule modulates phagocytosis of apoptotic cells in vivo. To investigate signal transduction mechanisms mediated by CD93, CD93 cytoplasmic tail (CYTO)-binding proteins were identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Fifteen of 34 positive clones contained a splice variant or a partial cDNA encoding GIPC, a PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain-containing protein, shown previously to regulate cytoskeltal dynamics. A single clone of the N-terminal kinase-like protein p105 and an uncharacterized stem cell transcript also showed specificity for binding to the CYTO by yeast two-hybrid. Using the yeast two-hybrid system and an in vitro glutathione S-transferase fusion protein-binding assay, the binding of GIPC to the CYTO was shown to involve a newly identified class I PDZ-binding domain in the CD93 carboxyl terminus. Four positively charged amino acids in the juxtamembrane domain of CD93 were shown to be critical in stabilizing these interactions. Treatment of human monocytes with a cell-permeable peptide encoding the C-terminal 11 amino acids of CD93 resulted in an enhancement of phagocytosis, supporting the hypothesis that this protein-protein interaction domain is involved in the modulation of phagocytosis. These protein interactions may participate as molecular switches in modulating cellular phagocytic activity.
Recombinant HLA-G5 and -G6 drive U937 myelomonocytic cell production of TGF-β1

Published: October 2004

AbstractThroughout human pregnancy, activated maternal macrophages producing anti-inflammatory cytokines comprise a stable cell population in the uterus. This organ is also massively infiltrated with semiallogeneic, placenta-derived, invasive cytotrophoblast cells, which produce membrane and soluble isoforms of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G. Here, we investigated the possibility that two soluble isoforms of HLA-G, HLA-G5 and -G6, program macrophage production of cytokines. The model system consisted of human U937 myelomonocytic cells treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), which induced differentiation and activation but did not affect their viability or decrease their expression of the two inhibitory immunoglobulin-like transcript (ILT) receptors for HLA-G, ILT2 and ILT4. Exposure of the PMA/IFN-γ-treated U937 cells to increasing concentrations of recombinant HLA-G5 or -G6 (rG5 and rG6) stimulated effects common to the two isoforms. High doses of both significantly decreased interleukin (IL)-10 and dramatically increased transforming growth factor-β1. Differential effectiveness between the isoforms was demonstrated in dose-response studies, as was differential binding to ILT2 and ILT4 in receptor-blocking studies. No effects on production of IL-4, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-15, tumor necrosis factor α, IL-1β, or IL-6 were observed. Collectively, the results are consistent with the postulate that environmental programming of decidual macrophages may be dictated in part by their proximity to soluble HLA-G-producing fetal cytotrophoblast cells.
The coordination of signaling during Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis
Authors: Swanson Joel A , Hoppe Adam D 
Published: October 2004

AbstractPhagocytosis by macrophages can be initiated by Fcγ receptors (FcR) in membranes that bind to Fc regions of immunoglobulin G (IgG). Activated FcR transduce signals to cytoplasm, which regulate the internalization of IgG-coated particles into plasma membrane-derived vacuoles, phagosomes. Particles internalized by phagocytosis are much larger than FcR, which prompts questions of if and how the receptors are coordinated with each other. FcR-mediated signal transduction entails recruitment of proteins from cytoplasm to the receptor, largely via protein phosphorylation. These FcR signaling complexes then activate proteins that regulate actin, myosin, membrane fusion, and the production of reactive oxygen intermediates. Recent fluorescence microscopic studies of phagocytosis in macrophages indicate that signaling by FcR occurs as a sequence of distinct stages, evident in the spatial and temporal patterns of phosphoinositides, protein kinase C, and Rho-family GTPase activation on forming phagosomes. The coordination of these stages may be regulated by lipids or lipid-anchored proteins, which diffuse away from FcR complexes. Lateral diffusion of FcR-derived signals could integrate FcR-dependent responses over large areas of membrane in the forming phagosome.

AbstractCR6-interacting factor 1 (CRIF1) was recently identified as a nuclear protein that interacts with the Gadd45 (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible 45) family of proteins and participates in the regulation of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle. However, the nuclear action of CRIF1 is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that CRIF1 acts as a novel coregulator of transactivation of the orphan nuclear receptor Nur77. Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that CRIF1 interacts with Nur77 via the Nur77 AB domain and that it dramatically inhibits the AB domain-mediated transactivation of Nur77. Transient transfection assays demonstrate that CRIF1 inhibits steroid receptor coactivator-2-mediated Nur77 transactivation, and silencing of endogenous CRIF1 by small interfering RNA relieves this repression. CRIF1 possesses intrinsic repressor activities that are not affected by the histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A. In addition, overexpression of CRIF1 inhibits TSH/protein kinase A-induced Nur-responsive element promoter activity. CRIF1 inhibited Nur77-dependent induction of E2F1 promoter activity, mRNA expression, and Nur77-mediated G1/S progression in cell cycle. These results suggest that CRIF1 acts as a repressor of the orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 by inhibiting AB domain-mediated transcriptional activity.

AbstractIncreasing evidence suggests that fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are neurotrophic in GnRH neurons. However, the extent to which FGFs are involved in establishing a functional GnRH system in the whole organism has not been investigated. In this study, transgenic mice with the expression of a dominant-negative FGF receptor mutant (FGFRm) targeted to GnRH neurons were generated to examine the consequence of disrupted FGF signaling on the formation of the GnRH system. To first test the effectiveness of this strategy, GT1 cells, a GnRH neuronal cell line, were stably transfected with FGFRm. The transfected cells showed attenuated neurite outgrowth, diminished FGF-2 responsiveness in a cell survival assay, and blunted activation of the signaling pathway in response to FGF-2. Transgenic mice expressing FGFRm in a GnRH neuron-specific manner exhibited a 30% reduction in GnRH neuron number, but the anatomical distribution of GnRH neurons was unaltered. Although these mice were initially fertile, they displayed several reproductive defects, including delayed puberty, reduced litter size, and early reproductive senescence. Overall, our results are the first to show, at the level of the organism, that FGFs are one of the important components involved in the formation and maintenance of the GnRH system.

Published: October 2004

Abstract
2D 11B-multiple quantum magic angle spinning NMR spectra of boron carbide were measured in order to eliminate the second-order quadrupole interaction of 11B in B4C. Judging from the line width of MQMAS spectrum, not only the second-order quadrupole interaction but also the B-B dipole-dipole interaction was found to cause the line broadening of B4C in 11B-MAS NMR. They affect the line width in the ratio about 1.3 : 1 at spinning rate of 17 kHz.
Thermochromic Properties of Flavylium Salts in Agar-Gel Matrix
Authors: Matsushima Ryoka , Ogiue Atsushi , Fujimoto Shuichi 
Published: October 2004

Abstract
Flavylium salts exhibited a reversible thermochromism in an agar-gel matrix. Thus, by the temperature change from −3 to 50 °C, the absorption band around 600 nm of 7-diethylamino-4′-dimethylaminoflavylium perchlorate increased by a factor of ca. 1.5, while the band around 520 nm substantially decreased. Upon repeated cycles of the color change no significant fatigues were observed. The thermochromic behaviors were tentatively rationalized to the dye aggregation phenomenon enhanced by the sol-gel matrix.

Published: October 2004

Abstract
Emission, excitation, and absorption spectra of 1,4-anthraquinone (1,4-AQ) have been measured in a degassed CCl4 fluid solution at different temperatures. It is shown that 1,4-AQ in CCl4 exhibits weak emission which can be attributed to the S2(&#960, &#960*) fluorescence at comparatively high temperature. The S2(&#960, &#960*) state is considered to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with the S1(n, &#960*) state as well as with the T2(n, &#960*) and T1(&#960, &#960*) states. The present observation provides the first example of the S2 emission from the medium-size molecules containing C=O groups.

Abstract
Ag+/ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by an ion-exchange method. UV-irradiation of the Ag+/ZSM-5 catalysts in the presence of N2O led to the photocatalytic decomposition of N2O into N2 and O2 at 298 K. Investigations of the effective wavelength of the irradiated UV-light for the reaction as well as the in-situ characterization of the catalysts by means of UV-Vis, photoluminescence and FT-IR spectroscopies revealed that the photoexcitation of the Ag+-N2O complexes formed between gaseous N2O and the isolated Ag+ ions exchanged within the zeolite cavities play a significant role in the reaction.

Published: October 2004

Abstract
Two methods have been employed to form different types of monolayers from the mixture of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes at air-water interface. When the complexes are mixed up before they are put onto the water surface, the π-A isotherm measurement revealed that a uniformly mixed monolayer was formed. On the other hand, when the complexes are dissolved individually and put onto the water surface successively, a mosaic monolayer of the component complexes with independent domains was formed. The domains of the copper(II) complex in the mosaic monolayer could be selectively compressed.
