TASK DEFINITION: Given a passage with a context and an answer, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.
PROBLEM: Context: Recently we have shown that the imunoglobulins G from blood serum of some multiple sclerosis patients are capable of cleaving histone H1.', 'To check whether histone H1-hydrolyzing abzymes could be detected not only in blood plasma of autoimmune patients, but also during cancer development, particularly during the onset of multiple myeloma.', "Immunoglobulines were isolated from blood serum of multiple myeloma patients (n = 11) by precipitation with 50% ammonium sulfate and tested for proteolytic activity toward linker and core calf thymus histones. Antibody preparations able to cleaved histone H1 were subjected to affinity chromatography on histone H1-Sepharose with following analysis of chromatographic fractions' protease activity. To prove that antibody molecules are responsible for hydrolysis of histone H1, gel filtration at acidic pH with subsequent examination of protease activity of chromatographic fractions (pH-shock analysis) was used.", 'It was found that 3 of 11 antibody preparations are capable of hydrolyzing calf thymus histone H1 but not core histones. It was shown that histone H1-hydrolysing activity of 2 proteolytically active antibody preparations is associated with IgGs that possess affinity towards histone H1. pH-shock analysis proved that protease activity towards histone H1 is intrinsic property of IgG molecules.
Answer: We demonstrated the existence of previously unknown histone H1 hydrolyzing IgG abzymes in the serum of multiple myeloma patients. Possible biological role of hisH1-hydrolyzing antibodies in patients with multiple myeloma was discussed.

SOLUTION: Are blood serum immunoglobulins of patients with multiple myeloma capable of hydrolysing histone H1?

PROBLEM: Context: Some living kidney donors report lost income during recovery from surgery. Little is known about whether concern for living donor's lost income affects the decision to undergo donation evaluation and the willingness of transplant candidates to discuss living kidney donation (LKD) with others.", 'To examine whether transplant patients were told by potential donors about lost income concerns and whether patients chose not to discuss LKD with others due to lost income concerns.', "Kidney transplant patients (185 wait-listed candidates, 171 deceased donor recipients, and 100 live donor recipients) at 2 centers completed a questionnaire to assess whether concern about donor's lost income was a consideration in discussion about LKD with others.", 'One-third (32%) were told by a family member/friend that they were willing to donate but were concerned about potential lost income. The majority of those who expressed financial concern (64%) did not initiate donation evaluation. Many patients (42%) chose not to discuss living donation with a family member/friend due to concern about the impact of lost income on the donor. In the multivariable model, lower annual household income was the only statistically significant predictor of both having a potential donor expressing lost income concern and choosing not to talk to someone because of lost income concern.
Answer: Findings from the current study underscore how concern about income loss for living donors may affect decision-making by both transplant candidates and potential donors.

SOLUTION: Does concern for Lost Income Following Donation deter Some Patients From Talking to Potential Living Donors?

PROBLEM: Context: To examine the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) in mediating the cellular response to pro-inflammatory cytokines in human primary osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes.', 'Delivery of a dominant negative MK2 was achieved in HeLa cells by adenoviral infection. Cellular heat shock protein (HSP27) activity was determined using a Bioplex assay. Primary OA chondrocytes were isolated by collagenase digestion of human articular cartilage. Phosphorylated MK2 was detected by immunoblotting and immunohistology. Transfection of primary chondrocytes with siRNA was achieved using cationic lipid and gene expression determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and matrixmetalloproteases (MMPs) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.', 'Over-expression of a dominant negative MK2 inhibited HSP27 phosphorylation and significantly reduced both interleukin 1 (IL-1)beta and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha mediated release of PGE2 in HeLa cells over a 24h period. Phosphorylated MK2 was detected in OA articular cartilage and in isolated primary OA chondrocytes, where it was induced by IL-1beta. Transfection of OA chondrocytes with MK2 siRNA antisense significantly reduced both basal and IL-1beta induced PGE2 release. siRNA mediated MK2 knockdown also significantly reduced both basal and IL-1beta induced MMP13 expression and MMP13 and MMP3 protein release but had no effect on MMP1.
Answer: Our data reveal that MK2 is active in OA human articular cartilage and in isolated primary human chondrocytes and that MK2 mediates the release of PGE2, MMP3 and MMP13. These findings suggest a role for MK2 in contributing to OA algesia and OA joint structural deterioration by mediating the downstream effects of p38 activation on PGE2 release and the expression and release of catabolic proteases.

SOLUTION:
Does mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 ( MK2 ) modulate key biological pathways associated with OA disease pathology?
