description: Mutations of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway play essential roles in development and cancer. Although β-catenin and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations are well established and are known to drive tumorigenesis, discoveries of mutations in other components of the pathway lagged which hinders the understanding of cancer mechanisms. Here we report that δ-catenin (gene designation: CTNND2), a primarily neural member of the β-catenin superfamily which promotes canonical Wnt/β-catenin/LEF-1-mediated transcription, displays exonic mutations in human prostate cancer and promotes cancer cell survival adaptation and metabolic reprogramming. When overexpressed in cells derived from prostate tumor xenografts, δ-catenin gene invariably gave rise to mutations leading to sequence disruptions predicting functional alterations. Ectopic δ-catenin gene integrating into host chromosomes is locus non-selective. δ-Catenin mutations promote tumor development in mouse prostate with probasin promoter (ARR2PB)-driven, prostate-specific expression of myc oncogene, while mutant cells empower survival advantage upon overgrowth and glucose deprivation. Reprogramming energy utilization accompanies the down-regulation of glucose transporter-1 (Glut-1) and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage while preserving tumor type 2 pyruvate kinase (PKM2) expression. δ-Catenin mutations increased β-catenin translocation to the nucleus and HIF-1α expression. Therefore, introducing δ-catenin mutations is an important milestone in prostate cancer metabolic adaptation by modulating β-catenin and HIF-1α signaling under glucose shortage to amplify its tumor promoting potential.

description: In this paper, we first reviewed the trophic ecology studies carried out on Laminaria digitata beds, at two rocky areas of Northern Brittany (France), Batz Island and Ar Pourven, displaying contrasted ecological conditions. The general trophic structure did not vary between the two sites, with a wide diversity of filter-feeders and predators, and only 14% of grazers. The results of stable isotope analyses allow drawing a simplified model for the food web associated to L. digitata beds. Kelp-derived organic matter is channeled into two distinct trophic pathways, the particle feeding-based and the grazing-based, which are coupled with higher trophic levels. The L. digitata detritic pathway contributes most to the diet of filter-feeders inhabiting sheltered sites. Although detritus feeding seems to be the main pathway transferring matter from kelps to the upper trophic levels, we showed that the direct grazing of kelps by herbivores can be locally important. Indeed, the gastropod Helcion pellucidum based exclusively his diet on the consumption of L. digitata and therefore its grazing pressure was studied on L. digitata sampled in two sites of Bay of Morlaix. In both sites, the herbivory pressure was significantly higher on reproductive adult plants than juvenile algae and the distribution of grazing damages showed strong variations along L. digitata thalli. To study the specific algal responses against herbivory, a laboratory-controlled system was established using L. digitata / H. pellucidum model. Defense-related gene transcripts were monitored in grazed tissues of L. digitata, showing the induction of molecular responses upon grazing. Altogether, the functioning of kelp-associated food web and the contribution of L. digitata are likely to be affected by two important factors, hydrodynamism and nutritive values of the food source. However, our results suggest that specific induced defense responses upon grazing and chemical interactions in natural environment could also interfere with trophic links in kelp beds.

description: In the last years, we have obtained and analysed a collection of deep optical spectra of a large number of HII regions in the Milky Way, MagellanicClouds and other nearby galaxies, taken with VLT and GTC telescopes. These data have permitted to determine the spatial abundance distribution of several elements with unprecedented precision. An important result of this study is the estimation of Emetallicity variations throughout the discs of the galaxies in order to know the degree of homogeneity and mixing in the ionized gas phase of the interstellar medium (ISM). From our data, we find that the amplitude of such variations are of the order of the errors of abundance determinations of individual objects, indicating the absence of large inhomogeneitiesalong the whole disc in the case of the Magellanic Clouds and at a given galactocentricdistance, in the case of the Milky way and other spiral galaxies. Our results for the Milky Way contrast with recent metallicity estimations in neutral clouds of the local Galactic thin disk that found metallicity variations of the order of a factor ten. We compare the results obtained for neutral clouds with those for HII regions and other tracers of the chemical composition of the ISM as B-type stars, classical Cepheids and young clusters.

description: The research tools used in the field of technology to elaborate development trend data in prefigurate terms and the undertaking of construction of planning scenarios are here applied to the evolution of housing demands and to the rapidly changing, correlated requirement framework. Thus, the development of a research that, in the first phase proposes a theoretical framework of reference for the development of building construction, aims to reduce critical issues related to actual production models. This basis has then led to the establishment of a second step in research that, instead, aims to identifying potential practical ramifications and operative opportunities to innovate both process and product.

description: The ability of Laminaria digitata (Hudson) J.V. Lamouroux to cope with rapid and drastic changes in light was studied in the field by measuring photosystem II fluorescence, net oxygen production and pigment content. Experiments were conducted during two spring tides of late spring in Northern Brittany where low spring tides occur around noon. Daily patterns of the photosynthetic performance of Laminaria digitata were observed in relation to changes in incident under- water light. Photoinhibitory light exposure induced a sharp decrease of the optimal quantum yield (Fv/Fm), a decline of the net oxygen production in the first of the two spring tides investigated and a concomitant increase in the de-epoxidation ratio of the Violaxanthin pool. Photoinhibition persisted at a lower extent at the end of the day and complete recovery was achieved during the night. The implications of the photoinhibition of photosynthesis of Laminaria digitata are discussed in relation to the natural ambient conditions experienced in the field.
Parallel changes: design as a model and approach to the environment (interdisciplinary concept)

description: Different disciplines in one design: cultural and scientific background In an interdisciplinary approach to territorial analysis, a series of models applicable to both the technical and humanistic sectors can be developed. The subject matter is one of the ideas which emerged from a study on the analysis of hydraulic mills as resource indicators (Candura and De Paoli, 2006), which revealed the importance of design as a model, given its evident multi-scalar applicability. In short, the study subject is the impact of human intervention on the territory, and the approach consists of joint architectural and geographic vision. The outcome highlights the importance of designing a transdisciplinary style (i.e.: creating a new single design framework which goes beyond the individual disciplinary prospects), the meanings of the interdisciplinary concept (combining knowledge and methods from different discipline) and multidisciplinary concept (different disciplines that work together despite maintaining their own approaches and methods) having already been acquired.

description: Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a γ-herpesvirus associated with human epithelial and B-cell malignancies. The EBV latent membrane protein (LMP) 1 is expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and promotes oncogenic intracellular signaling mechanisms. LMP1 also promotes a pro-migratory phenotype through potential effects on cell surface proteins, as expression of LMP1 induces an epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in epithelial cell lines. In this study, LMP1 was examined for potential effects on cadherin and integrin surface interactions, and assessed for biological effects on adhesion and motility to fibronectin. Expression of LMP1 in the non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line MCF10a induced an EMT-associated cadherin switch. The induced N-cadherin was ligated and localized to the cell surface as determined by triton-solubility and immunofluorescence assays. In addition, LMP1 induced the assembly of focal adhesions (FAs) with increased production of fibronectin in MCF10a and NP460hTERT-immortalized nasopharyngeal cells. Biochemical enrichment of fibronectin-associated proteins indicated that LMP1 selectively promoted the recruitment of integrin-α5 and Src family kinase proteins to FA complexes. Neutralizing antibodies to N-cadherin and integrin-α5, but not integrin-αV, blocked the adhesion and transwell motility of MCF10a cells to fibronectin induced by LMP1. LMP1-induced transwell motility was also decreased by Src inhibition with the PP2 kinase inhibitor and short hairpin RNAs. These studies reveal that LMP1 has multiple mechanisms to promote the adhesive and migratory properties of epithelial cells through induction of fibronectin and modulation of cell surface interactions involving integrin-α5 and N-cadherin, which may contribute to the metastatic potential of NPC.

description: In 1968, M. Artin proved that any formal power series solution of a system of analytic equations may be approximated by convergent power series solutions. Motivated by this result and a similar result of Płoski, he conjectured that this remains true when the ring of convergent power series is replaced by a more general kind of ring. This paper presents the state of the art on this problem, aimed at non-experts.

description: Antibodies to the E6 and E7 oncoproteins of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types are strongly associated with HPV-driven cancer, while antibodies against the capsid protein L1 are considered cumulative exposure markers. To test the hypothesis that L1 antibody levels are stable over time, whereas E6 and E7 levels undergo decay after cervical cancer (CXCa) treatment we performed multiplex serology for HPV16 and 18 antigens E6, E7 and L1 in a post-treatment study of 184 patients with invasive CxCa that were characterized with a median follow-up time of 725 days, and 2–12 sera per patient. Antibody titers significantly decreased within the first six months for HPV16 E6 and E7 but not L1 and stabilized for the following 12 months on a high level, with few patients showing seroreversion. Of 67 patients seropositive for HPV16 E6 at diagnosis, 28 (41.8%) showed a decrease in antibody titers of at least 50% within the first 18 months. Similarly, of 50 HPV16 E7 seropositives, 33 (66.0%) showed decreasing antibody levels, whereas antibody decay was less frequent for HPV16 L1 (12 of 47, 25.5%). Using a power-law mathematical model to characterize antibody decay kinetics, the mean (±s.e.) duration to a 50% reduction in antibody titers within individual patients were estimated to be 56.9 (±26.1) and 56.3 (±19.0) days for HPV16 E6 and E7, respectively. In summary, HPV16 E6 and E7 antibodies undergo a slow but significant decrease in antibody titers within the first 6–18 months following CxCa treatment. However, larger studies are needed to confirm the utility of serology for prediction of disease progression and time to relapse based on antibody decay kinetics.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Silent cancer agents: multi-disciplinary modelling of human DNA oncoviruses'.
Male gametophyte fragmentation in Laminaria digitata: a life history strategy to enhance reproductive success

description: An understanding of the life history of Laminaria digitata is crucial to implementing efficient management practices that can ensure the persistence of the kelp forest. L. digitata shows an obligate haplo-diplont heteromorphic life cycle with alternation of a large sporophyte and dioecious microscopic gametophytes. The study of growth and reproduction in culture conditions demonstrated different strategies in male and female gametophytes: Males grew vegeta- tively and reproduced simultaneously, whereas females stopped growing after reproduction. In addition, we demonstrated that males were able to fragment to give new gametophyte individuals. These results suggest that male and female gametophytes have developed two contrasting reproductive strategies with semelparous females and iteroparous males enhancing the reproductive success of the species.

description: Kelp forests are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems worldwide. Global climate change and human exploitation threaten the stability of many of these ecosystems. In this study we compare differences in temperature responses during the microscopic haploid stage development between two kelp species in order to test if the annual Saccorhiza polyschides outperforms the perennial Laminaria ochroleuca at the northern limit of range distribution of L. ochroleuca, in Northern Brittany. Germination and mortality, sex ratio, fecundity and reproduction were measured in culture for the two species and under three different temperatures (10, 15 and 25°C). An effect of temperature was found for all traits except the sex ratio. Both species showed no ability to develop gametophytes at the highest temperature of 25ºC and were more tolerant to lower temperatures. S. polyschides showed higher germination rate, higher fecundity and lower mortality than L. ochroleuca during the period of the experiment. In addition, its gametophytes developed earlier than those of L. ochroleuca, a competitive advantage found in all temperature conditions. Germination rate, mortality and fecundity were significantly different between the two species. In addition, the two species showed a structural difference in the development of microscopic stages, with S. polyschides gametophytes occupying a larger area, which is suggested to result in a greater adhesion capacity. In conclusion, the microscopic stage of the annual species S. polyschides had a significant advantage in fitness compared to the perennial L. ochroleuca. This annual opportunistic species may out compete L. ochroleuca, at least in Brittany, the study region, corresponding to its northern limit, in areas where they share habitat.

description: The diet of common stingray, Dasyatis pastinaca, in the eastern Adriatic Sea was investigated with respect to fish size and season. Stomach contents of 269 specimens, 18.5 to 99.6 cm in TL, collected by bottom-trawl from January 2006 to December 2009 were analysed. The preys belonged to five major groups: Cephalopoda, Polychaeta, Stomatopoda, Decapoda and Teleostei. Decapod crustaceans were the most important ingested preys (%IRI = 76.3) especially for fish up to 70 cm TL. Teleosts were second in importance (%IRI = 16.9), whereas other prey groups were of minor importance and were probably occasional ingested food. Decapods Processa canaliculata (%IRI = 2.2), Alpheus glaber (%IRI = 1.4) and teleost Lesueurigobius friessi (%IRI = 0.7) were the most frequent preys. With fish growth, the proportion of decapods decreased whereas that of teleosts and cephalopods increased. Diet composition showed little seasonal variations; decapods were the most important preys in all seasons, especially during summer. The average percentage of empty stomachs showed seasonal variations, with maximal occurrence in winter (25.4%) and minimal in summer (2.6%). The lowest feeding frequency recorded in the winter is probably related with lower sea temperature.

description: The paper considers the implications that parametric and algorithmic tools have on the innovation of the design practice. An explicit approach to project design is considered with the aim of providing a new interpretative key and possible directions for future development of new tools and design conceptions. A brief reflection contextualises the matter in the literature to support an innovative conception of digital implications on the design practice focused on a classification of digital eras, which is both theoretical and supported by simple application examples. The described theoretical and methodological approach identifies three main implication areas of digital technologies in the technological design practice.

Possible role of a mitochondrial genome rearrangement in maintaining the spatial segregation of two cryptic species of the Lessonia nigrescens species complex

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)

description: In numerous taxa, studies have reported the co-occurrence of several copies for a single mitochondrial marker (heteroplasmy), leading to incorrect phylogenetic inferences if not detected. While this phenomenon has been widely investigated in terrestrial taxa, it remains largely unexplored in marine algae. Here we report the detection of heteroplasmy in the Lessonia nigrescens species complex. This work aimed to identify the distinct fragments and to determine their geographic extent in the distribution range of two kelp species. Using phylogenetic reconstructions of a mitochondrial DNA marker (atp8/trnS intergenic region), we suggest that a duplication event occurred, either with or without transfer of the copy to the nucleus. The corresponding sequences constituted a new monophyletic clade, distinct from those previously described in L. nigrescens, hence discarding the interspecific hybridization and intraspecific biparental transmission hypotheses. The characterization of 652 individuals sampled along 2,500 km of coastline revealed that the duplication was absent in the Northern species, but of high frequency in the northernmost populations of the Southern species. Because the duplication is restricted to the parapatric contact zone between the two species, our findings open new perspectives about the importance of reproductive isolation mechanisms and local adaptation in the origin and persistence of this pattern.

description: The paper aims to investigate the theme of the Call, the distinction between theory and practice, based on a reflection on Architecture and demonstrating that one of the specifics of this art of construction – or artistic practice as in the well-known definition by Vittorio Gregotti – is in the relationship between thought and artefact intended not in antithetic terms but of hermeneutic circularity. The investigation of points of view and the analysis of exempla are, respectively, premise and demonstration of a reasoning that aims to define, specifically referring to methods and techniques within a theory of architectural design, an “orientated point of view” starting from which a reflection on the relationship between theory and practice is proposed.

description: PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine demographic and disease characteristics by age and the moderating effect of age on quality of life (QOL) among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors.

DESIGN: A cross-sectional, secondary analysis study of NHL survivors.

SETTING: Two North Carolina cancer registries.

SAMPLE: 741 NHL survivors with a mean age of 62 years and a mean time since diagnosis of 10 years.

METHODS: Mailed surveys were sent to individuals treated for NHL. All analyses were conducted using SPSS®, version 18.0. Multiple regression was used to analyze relationships among demographic and disease characteristics, age, and QOL.

MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: Demographic, disease, and clinical characteristics on QOL.

FINDINGS: In relation to QOL, income and gender were moderated by age; for example, younger survivors who earned less than $30,000 annually had a poorer QOL. Women reported a higher QOL than men.

CONCLUSIONS: Age was a moderator for income and an indicator for how income could affect care of younger survivors. Men reported a lower QOL than women and gender-specific resources may be helpful to them.

IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Nursing research should focus on age-sensitive resources targeted for younger NHL survivors.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION: Age is an important characteristic that impacts overall health-related QOL. Oncology nurses are instrumental in identifying patients at all ages who could benefit from age-specific resources.

description: The research presented in this paper deals with the experience gained by a Research Unit from DiARC Naples on the topic of active bending structures, in the specific domain of timber post-formed gridshells. The design of specific digital tools aimed at controlling architectural and construction issues of such structures can be considered as one of the most important achievements to guarantee the buildability of these lightweight and ecological structures. So far, the research group experimented the design and construction of more than 10 among pavilions and full-scale prototypes of timber gridshells. This paper traces the method to design elastic gridshells starting from their form in a strict relationship with construction issues, with the aim at freeing the initial concept stage under the surveillance of buildability and allowing the implementation of the bespoke tools as well as of the construction methods.

description: We present and discuss highly accurate photometry obtained through medium Stromgren y,b bands and narrow [OIII], Halpha bands covering 500 days of the evolution of Nova Del 2013 since its maximum brightness. This is by far the most complete study of any nova observed in such photometric systems. The nova behaviour in these photometric bands is very different from that observed with the more conventional broad bands like UBVRI or ugriz, providing unique information about extent and ionization of the ejecta, the onset of critical phases like the transition between optically thick and thin conditions, and re-ionization by the central super-soft X-ray source. The actual transmission profiles of the y, b, [OIII] and Halpha photometric filters have been accurately measured at different epochs and different illumination angles, to evaluate in detail their performance under exact operating conditions. The extreme smoothness of both the Halpha and [OIII] lightcurves argues for absence of large and abrupt discontinuities in the ejecta of Nova Del 2013. Should they exist, glitches in the lightcurves would have appeared when the ionization and/or recombination fronts overtook them. During the period of recorded very large variability (up to 100x over a single day) in the super-soft X-ray emission (from day +69 to +86 past V maximum), no glitch in excess of 1% was observed in the optical photometry, either in the continuum (Stromgren y) or in the lines ([OIII] and Halpha filters), or in a combination of the two (Stromgren b, Johnson B and V). Considering that the recombination time scale in the ejecta was one week at that time, this excludes global changes of the white dwarf as the source of the X-ray variability and supports instead clumpy ejecta passing through the line of sight to us as its origin.

description: For the purpose of using the nacreous layer of the pearl oyster Pinctada radiata shell in biomedical applications, its mineralogy, microstructure, thermal properties, water and organic matrix content and elemental composition of mineral and organic phases were investigated. P. radiata shell consisted of two mineralized layers: an outer calcitic prismatic layer and an inner aragonitic one exhibiting a "Brick and mortar" micro-architecture. Thermal and elemental analyses revealed that nacre of P. radiata was composed of 4.28% weight (wt) of organic matrix consisting of 1.01% of carbon, 0.49% of hydrogen, 0.39% of nitrogen and 0.08% of sulphur. FTIR analyses showed that the nacreous organic matrix contained functional amine, amide, sulfate and carboxylic acid groups and sugars. The presence of water in nacre was confirmed and measured at 0.34% wt. These results showed that the nacreous layer of P. radiata had comparable microstructure, composition and thermal properties to those of other pearl oysters nacres which exhibited osteogenic and osteoinductive properties. However, its higher organic matrix amount could make it more interesting for biomedical applications considering the significant role of the organic part in the mechanical and osteoinductive properties of a biomedical material.
Towards a new strategic dimension for Technological design

description: This paper focuses on some points for reflection, raising possible areas of potential and of criticality in the technological approach to design – areas that impact research, teaching, and professional practice all at the same time. The paper’s first objective is to reconstruct the key features of the discussion in a historical perspective, and then to examine the contemporary world, the signs of a rapidly changing landscape, and the dynamics currently underway. This examination will cast light on what possible contributions and influences these aspects may offer for a revision of the models and approaches to design as an activity to transform the environment, and for interpretation and intermediation between supply and demand in a setting where resources are scant.

description: The prototypes, made in collaboration with industrial partners, represent the results of transdisciplinary experiments in which environmental, structural and material performances inform the computational process and the robotics manufacturing. Fusta Robotica, is the result of a tectonic exploration deriving from the use of non-engineered material, Digital Urban Orchard is the formal expression of a complex functional program arising from the relationship amongst form (shape), function and context. The analysis of processes, in addition to the definition of the limits and potentialities of the design approach, opens the debate on the role of technological experimentation in the post-digital era, characterized by the process information that includes digital computation, materials and fabrication.

description: A total of 988 Atlantic stargazer, Uranoscopus scaber, was collected monthly by bottom trawlers from the Eastern Black Sea. Reproduction characteristics such as sex composition, maturity stage, length at first maturity, spawning time, reproduction period, fecundity, length-weight relationships and condition factor were investigated. The percentage of females, males and indefinite were 66.90, 29.65 and 3.44%, respectively. The female:male sex ratio was 2.26:1 (P < 0.05). Mean condition factors of females and males were 0.991 and 0.956, respectively. Taking into consideration of gonado - somatic index (GSI) values and egg diametre, it was determined that reproduction occurred in July and August. The first maturity age for female and male was 2 and the first reproduction lengths were 11.76 and 13.75 cm for male and female, respectively. The exponentially relationships between fecundity and total length was F = 0.2283TL3.6314 (R2 = 0.53) and the linear relationship between fecundity and fish weight was F = 118.9W - 1788.8 (R2 = 0.34). The average egg number that a female spawned at once was 16185 ± 1455. The average diametre of mature eggs was 1.55 ± 0.05 mm. There were significant differences between sexes in monthly condition factors (P < 0.01).

description: The faunistic analysis of hard and soft benthic samples taken from 0 to 200 m depths on the southern coast of Turkey in September and October 2005 yielded 18 sipunculan species and 20706 individuals belonging to nine genera. One species (Nephasoma (Nephasoma) eremita) is new to the Mediterranean fauna and ten species to the Levantine fauna of Turkey. Three alien sipunculan species, Apionsoma (A.) misakianum, Aspidosiphon (A.) mexicanus and Aspidosiphon (A.) elegans, were found in the area. Aspidosiphon (A.) elegans, a bio-eroder species, seems to have become established in the region. This study gives additional data regarding some morphological, distributional and reproductive features of the species found in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. A taxonomic key to the species found in the region is given.
