Small G proteins in insulin action: Rab and Rho families at the crossroads of signal transduction and GLUT4 vesicle traffic (2007)

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissues through glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). GLUT4 cycles between the intracellular compartments and the plasma membrane. GLUT4 traffic-regulating insulin signals are largely within the insulin receptor-insulin receptor substrate-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (IR-IRS-PI3K) axis. In muscle cells, insulin signal bifurcates downstream of the PI3K into one arm leading to the activation of the Ser/Thr kinases Akt and atypical protein kinase C, and another leading to the activation of Rho family protein Rac1 leading to actin remodelling. Activated Akt inactivates AS160, a GTPase-activating protein for Rab family small G proteins. Here we review the roles of Rab and Rho proteins, particularly Rab substrates of AS160 and Rac1, in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 traffic. We discuss: (1) how distinct steps in GLUT4 traffic may be regulated by discrete Rab proteins, and (2) the importance of Rac1 activation in insulin-induced actin remodelling in muscle cells, a key element for the net gain in surface GLUT4.

Anti-CCR4 mAb selectively depletes effector-type FoxP3+CD4+regulatory T cells, evoking antitumor immune responses in humans (2013)

Significance Regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing the transcription factor FOXP3 play a critical role in suppressing antitumor immune responses. Here we found that, compared with peripheral blood T cells, tumor-infiltrating T cells contained a higher frequency of effector Tregs, which are defined as FOXP3 hi and CD45RA − , terminally differentiated, and most suppressive. Effector Treg cells, but not FOXP3 lo and CD45RA + naïve Treg cells, predominantly expressed C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) in both cancer tissues and peripheral blood. In vivo or in vitro anti-CCR4 mAb treatment selectively depleted effector Treg cells and efficiently induced tumor-antigen-specific CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. Thus, cell-depleting anti-CCR4 mAb therapy is instrumental for evoking and enhancing tumor immunity in humans via selectively removing effector-type FOXP3 + Treg cells.

Aggressive B-Cell Lymphomas: A Review of New and Old Entities in the WHO Classification (2011)

Aggressive B-cell lymphomas are clinically and pathologically diverse and reflect multiple pathways of transformation. The 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification reflects this complexity with the addition of several new entities and variants. Whereas MYC translocations have long been associated with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), deregulation of MYC has been shown to occur in other aggressive B-cell lymphomas, most often as a secondary event. Lymphomas with translocations of both MYC and BCL2 are highly aggressive tumors, with a high failure rate with most treatment protocols. These "double-hit" lymphomas are now separately delineated in the WHO classification as B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and BL. A MYC translocation is also found uncommonly in DLBCL, but the clinical consequences of this in the absence of a double hit are not yet fully delineated. Most recently, MYC translocations have been identified as a common secondary event in plasma cell neoplasms, seen in approximately 50% of plasmablastic lymphoma. Another area that has received recent attention is the spectrum of EBV-driven B-cell proliferations in patients without iatrogenic or congenital immunosuppression; most of these occur in patients of advanced age and include the EBV-positive large B-cell lymphomas of the elderly.

Photoactive Porphyrin Derivative with Broad-Spectrum Activity against Oral Pathogens In Vitro (2000)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has historically been used as a means to treat cancerous tumors but has recently been used to kill bacterial cells through the use of targeted photosensitizers. PDT is a potential adjunct to scaling and root planing in the treatment of periodontal disease. However, the effectiveness of porphyrin derivatives against microorganisms has been limited because some gram-negative bacteria are refractory to photodynamic treatment with these agents. We have designed a porphyrin derivative conjugated to a pentalysine moeity that endows the molecule with activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Whereas the porphyrin, chlorin e6, showed in vitro activity against a limited spectrum of bacteria, chlorin e6 conjugated to pentalysine showed in vitro activity against all oral microorganisms tested, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Bacteroides forsythus, Campylobacter rectus, Eikenella corrodens, Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. polymorphum, Actinomyces viscosus, and the streptococci. Potent antimicrobial activity (>/=5-log-unit reduction in the numbers of CFU per milliliter) was retained in the presence of up to 25% whole sheep blood. The use of potent, selective agents such as this chlorin e6-pentalysine conjugate to more effectively reduce the pathogenic bacteria in the periodontal pocket may be a significant tool for the treatment of periodontal disease.
Efficacy of hyaluronic acid/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug systems in preventing postsurgical tendon adhesions (1997)

Tendon adhesion is acknowledged to be a function of both an overwhelming inflammatory response at the surgical site and the loss of physical separation that is normally present between the tendons and the synovial sheath. Adhesions bind the flexor tendons to each other and to surrounding structures, interfering with their normal gliding function. The clinical result of adhesion formation following flexor tendon surgery is poor digital function. This study investigated the effect of intraoperative treatments of high viscosity absorbable gels made of various combinations of hyaluronic acid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, on adhesion formation in a leghorn chicken flexor tendon model. Forty-eight mature, white leghorn chickens were used to verify the surgical model and to test five different gel treatments. The gels were formed from: 2% sodium hyaluronate in phosphate buffered saline alone or combined with 1 mg/mL tolmetin sodium; 1 mg/mL naproxen sodium; 0.216 g/mL calcium acetate; or 0.216 g/mL calcium acetate plus 1 mg/mL naproxen sodium. The gels were applied by injecting 0.2 mL of the specified composition into the intrasheath space near the conclusion of the surgical procedure. Gross and histological evaluations were conducted to analyze the efficacy. All of the treatments significant reduced the extent and severity of postsurgical tendon adhesion in this animal model as compared with the control (no gel treatment) (p < 0.05). The combination of naproxen sodium and calcium acetate in a high viscosity sodium hyaluronate carrier was the most effective composition. The combination of a high viscosity gel and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs appears to maintain the natural separation between the tendons and their sheaths and decrease the tissue inflammatory response through mediating two of the major stimuli in adhesion formation.
Alkyl‐ and arylthiation of uracil and indole (1979)

Abstract 5‐Alkyl‐ or arylthio‐2,4‐pyrimidinediones, 1–8 , were prepared from uracil and alkane‐ or arenesulfenyl chlorides. Indole reacted similarly to give the 2,3‐di‐ and 3‐substituted derivatives, 15–19 .
Quantum interference in resonant Raman spectra of I2 in condensed media (1997)

Both B(3Πu0) and B′′(1Π1u) surfaces contribute to resonance Raman scattering of iodine, and the interference between these two channels leads to modulation of the intensity profile of overtone progressions, as observed experimentally. The effect is simulated through mixed order semiclassical molecular dynamics.
Mice lacking cyclin D1 are small and show defects in eye and mammary gland development. (1995)

Using homologous recombination, mice lacking cyclin D1 were generated by replacing most of the first exon of the Cyl-1 gene with sequences encoding neomycin resistance. Cyl-1(-1-) mice were viable and fertile but consistently smaller than their heterozygous or wild-type littermates. The nullizygous animals also showed two distinctive abnormalities: a severe retinopathy caused by impaired development of all layers of the retina and, in the mammary gland during pregnancy, a marked reduction in acinar development accompanied by a failure to lactate. Approximately 50% of animals also had a malformation of the jaw that manifested itself as a misalignment of the incisor teeth. Mouse embryo fibroblasts isolated from 14 day nullizygous, heterozygous, or wild-type embryos and grown under standard conditions showed similar cell-cycle and growth characteristics. Thus although cyclin D1 kinase activity may facilitate G1 progression, it is not essential for the development of most tissues and organs, and only a few specialized cell lineages are demonstrably sensitive to its absence.

Healthy Aims is a 23- million, four-year project, funded under the EU's information society technology sixth framework program to develop intelligent medical implants and diagnostic systems (www.healthyaims.org). The project has 25 partners from 10 countries, including commercial, clinical, and research groups. This consortium represents a combination of disciplines to design and fabricate new medical devices and components as well as to test them in laboratories and subsequent clinical trials. The project focuses on medical implants for nerve stimulation and diagnostic equipment based on strain-gauge technology.
A 32-channel time-resolved instrument for medical optical tomography (2000)

A prototype multichannel time-resolved medical optical tomography system is presented, and various instrumental aspects and performance issues are discussed. The instrument has been designed primarily as a continuous bedside monitor for obtaining functional images of premature infants’ brains that are at an increased risk of injury due to dysfunction in cerebral oxygenation or hemodynamics. Separate maps of the internal absorption and scattering properties can be reconstructed from purely temporal measurements of photons transmitted diffusely through the tissue, and without recourse to reference or baseline measurements. The instrument employs 32 source fibers that sequentially deliver near-infrared pulsed laser radiation of picosecond duration. Transit time measurements of very high temporal resolution and stability are made between these sources and 32 detector optodes that are located on the surface. The effectiveness of this instrument is demonstrated by successfully imaging a tissue-equivalent phantom.
Biohybrid Artificial Pancreas: Long-Term Implantation Studies in Diabetic, Pancreatectomized Dogs (1991)

Diabetic complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and renal and cardiovascular disease continue to pose major health risks for diabetic patients. Consequently, much effort has focused on approaches that could replace conventional insulin therapy and provide more precise regulation of blood glucose levels. The biohybrid perfused artificial pancreas was designed to incorporate islet tissue and a selectively permeable membrane that isolates this tissue from the immune system of the recipient. Biohybrid pancreas devices containing canine islet allografts were implanted in ten pancreatectomized dogs requiring 18 to 32 units of injected insulin daily. These implants resulted in good control of fasting glucose levels in six of these animals without further exogenous insulin for periods of up to 5 months.

Complex character of senS, a novel gene regulating expression of extracellular-protein genes of Bacillus subtilis (1990)

The senS gene of Bacillus subtilis, which in high copy number stimulates the expression of several extracellular-protein genes, has been cloned, genetically mapped, and sequenced. The gene codes for a highly charged basic protein containing 65 amino acid residues. The gene is characterized by the presence of a transcription terminator (attenuator) located between the promoter and open reading frame, a strong ribosome-binding site, and a strong transcription terminator at the 3' end of this monocistronic gene. The amino acid sequence of SenS showed partial homology with the N-terminal core binding domain region of bacterial RNA polymerase sigma factors and a helix-turn-helix motif found in DNA-binding proteins. The gene can be deleted without any effect on growth or sporulation.

DARPA Information Assurance Program dynamic defense experiment summary (2001)

Several types of experiments are being conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Information Assurance (IA) Program in DARPA's IA Lab. This research program is driven by concepts of strategic cyberdefense. Each experiment involves a carefully formulated hypothesis that is intended to be either supported or refuted by the experimental testing. In many cases, "red team" attackers participate in all phases of the experiment and contribute to generating the data required to test the hypothesis. The red team is usually structured to model a well-resourced adversary, such as a foreign, national intelligence agency. The particular experiment described here explored one aspect of the IA program's grand hypothesis of dynamic defense: "Dynamic modification of defensive structure improves system assurance." This experiment concentrated on the assertion that autonomic response mechanisms can improve overall system assurance by thwarting an attack while it is underway. In most cases, each attack in this experiment was run first with only "prevent and detect" mechanisms enabled, then repeated with "prevent, detect, and respond mechanisms" enabled. The key result of this experiment is that the hypothesis was supported.
Prediction of peptide retention times in high-pressure liquid chromatography on the basis of amino acid composition (1980)

Analysis of peptides by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography would be simplified if retention times could be predicted by summing the contribution to retention of each of the peptide's amino acid side chains. This paper describes the derivation of values ("retention coefficients") that represent the contribution to retention of each of the common amino acids and end groups. Peptide retention times were determined on a Bio-Rad "ODS" column at room temperature with a linear gradient from 0.1 M NaclO(4), pH 7.4 or 2.1, at 0 min to 60% acetonitrile/0.1 M NaclO(4) at 80 min. The NaclO(4), a chaotropic agent, was added to improve peak shape and to minimize conformational effects. Retention coefficients for the amino acids were computed by using a Hewlett-Packard 9815A calculator programmed to change the retention coefficients for all amino acids sequentially to obtain a maximum correlation between actual and predicted retention times. Correlations of 0.999 at pH 7.4 and 0.997 at pH 2.1 were obtained for 25 peptides including glucagon, oxytocin, [Met]enkephalin, neurotensin, and somatostatin. This high degree of correlation suggests that, for peptides containing up to 20 residues, retention is primarily due to partition processes that involve all the residues. Although steric or conformational factors do have some effect on retention, the data suggest that under the above chromatographic conditions the retention of peptides containing up to 20 residues can be predicted solely on the basis of their amino acid composition. This possibility was tested by using data taken from the literature.
Effect of protective agents against cisplatin ototoxicity. (2000)

These findings suggest that cisplatin ototoxicity is related to lipid peroxidation and that the use of protective agents prevents hearing loss and lipid peroxidation by sparing the antioxidant system in the cochlea. These results suggest the possibility that the clinical use of protective agents could effectively reduce or prevent damage to the inner ear of patients receiving cisplatin chemotherapy, provided that the antitumor effect is not altered.
Performance of FlexRay: a fully programmable illumination system for generation of freeform sources on high NA immersion systems (2010)

This paper describes the principle and performance of FlexRay, a fully programmable illuminator for high NA immersion systems. Sources can be generated on demand, by manipulating an array of mirrors instead of the traditional way of inserting optical elements and changing lens positions. On demand (freeform) source availability allows for reduction in R&D cycle time and shrink in k1. Unlimited tuning allows for better machine to machine matching. FlexRay has been integrated in a 1.35NA TWINSCAN exposure system. We will present data of FlexRay using measured traditional and freeform illumination sources. In addition system performance qualification data on stability, reproducibility and imaging will be shown. The benefit of FlexRay for SMO enabling shrink is demonstrated using an SRAM example.
Craniosynostosis in transgenic mice overexpressing Nell-1 (2002)

Previously, we reported NELL-1 as a novel molecule overexpressed during premature cranial suture closure in patients with craniosynostosis (CS), one of the most common congenital craniofacial deformities. Here we describe the creation and analysis of transgenic mice overexpressing Nell-1. Nell-1 transgenic animals exhibited CS-like phenotypes that ranged from simple to compound synostoses. Histologically, the osteogenic fronts of abnormally closing/closed sutures in these animals revealed calvarial overgrowth and overlap along with increased osteoblast differentiation and reduced cell proliferation. Furthermore, anomalies were restricted to calvarial bone, despite generalized, non-tissue-specific overexpression of Nell-1. In vitro, Nell-1 overexpression accelerated calvarial osteoblast differentiation and mineralization under normal culture conditions. Moreover, Nell-1 overexpression in osteoblasts was sufficient to promote alkaline phosphatase expression and micronodule formation. Conversely, downregulation of Nell-1 inhibited osteoblast differentiation in vitro. In summary, Nell-1 overexpression induced calvarial overgrowth resulting in premature suture closure in a rodent model. Nell-1, therefore, has a novel role in CS development, perhaps as part of a complex chain of events resulting in premature suture closure. On a cellular level, Nell-1 expression may modulate and be both sufficient and required for osteoblast differentiation.
Fully Functional Memory CD8 T Cells in the Absence of CD4 T Cells (2004)

The role of CD4 T cells in providing help to CD8 T cells in primary and secondary responses to infection remains controversial. Using recombinant strains of virus and bacteria expressing the same Ag, we determined the requirement for CD4 T cells in endogenous CD8 T cell responses to infection with vesicular stomatitis virus and Listeria monocytogenes (LM). Depletion of CD4 T cells had no effect on the frequency of primary or secondary vesicular stomatitis virus-specific CD8 T cells in either lymphoid or nonlymphoid tissues. In contrast, the primary LM-specific CD8 T cell response was CD4 T cell dependent. Surprisingly, the LM-specific CD8 T cell recall response was also CD4 T cell dependent, which correlated with a requirement for CD40/CD40L interactions. However, concomitant inhibition of CD40L and CD4 T cell removal revealed that these pathways may be operating independently. Importantly, despite the absence of CD4 T cells during the recall response or throughout the entire response, CD8 memory T cells were functional effectors and proliferated equivalently to their "helped" counterparts. These data call into question the contention that CD4 T cells condition memory CD8 T cells during the primary response and indicate that the principal role of CD4 T cells in generating CD8 memory cells after infection is augmentation of proliferation or survival through costimulatory signals.
