question:
Context: To investigate whether the association between APOE-epsilon4 and memory decline is modified by baseline cognition and age in a population-based elderly sample.', 'The study sample consisted of 1,243 subjects, 62 to 85 years old, with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score between 21 and 30 and known APOE phenotypes. Memory performance was measured with an abbreviated Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT) at baseline and repeated after 3 years (n = 854). Memory decline was defined as a decrease of at least 1 SD from the mean change score on immediate recall (IR), delayed recall (DR), and retention, based on the AVLT.', 'Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that APOE-epsilon4 is associated with memory decline in cognitively impaired subjects (MMSE score, 21 to 26) (OR for decline on IR adjusted for age, sex, education, and baseline recall score, 3.8; 95% CI, 1.4 to 10.0; adjusted OR for decline on DR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.2 to 7.0; adjusted OR for decline on retention, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.1 to 10. 1), but not in cognitively normal subjects (MMSE score, 27 to 30) (adjusted OR for decline on IR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.6 to 2.0; adjusted OR for decline on DR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.6 to 1.8; adjusted OR for decline on retention, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.7 to 3.0). In particular, cognitively impaired epsilon4 carriers older than 75 years were at high risk of memory decline (adjusted OR for decline on IR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.4 to 13.8; adjusted OR for decline on DR, 3.6; 95% CI, 1.2 to 10.8; adjusted OR for decline on retention, 6.6; 95% CI, 1.5 to 29.7).\Question: Is aPOE-epsilon4 associated with memory decline in cognitively impaired elderly?
answer:
APOE-epsilon4 was associated with memory decline in subjects with cognitive impairment, but not in normally functioning subjects. Contrary to AD studies, our study suggests that the risk of APOE-epsilon4 on memory decline does not decrease at higher ages.

question:
Context: To determine the role of recipient lymphopenia state in the expansion and function of leukemia specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).', 'C57BL/6 mice were induced to lymphopenia with 6 Gy total body irradiation. Spleen T cells or leukemia specific T cells from EGFP+ transgenic C57BL/6-EGFP mice were adoptively transferred by intravenous injection. The mice were challenged subcutaneously with 1 x 10(6) FBL3 leukemic cells at day 2 after irradiation. The peripheral WBC count, percentage of EGFP+ cells, subsets of T cells and tumor sizes were monitored.', 'Both of the spleen T cell and leukemia specific CTL proliferated efficiently with the percentage of EGFP+ cells of 28. 81% and 42.24%, respectively, after infused into lymphopenic recipients. However, spleen T cells had no anti-leukemia effect regardless of its expansion. In contrast, leukemia specific CTLs showed a more rapid and extensive expansion under the condition of lymphopenia and a enhanced anti-leukemia immunity.\Question: Does [ Recipient lymphopenia state enhance the expansion and anti-leukemia effect of leukemia specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes ]?
answer:
Transfusion of leukemia specific CTLs under lymphopenia state could be a feasible strategy to expand leukemia specific CTLs and generate favorable anti-leukemia effect in vivo.

question:
Context: Angiotensin II (Ang II) signaling has been implicated in cardiac arrhythmogenesis, which involves induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It was shown that Ang II can activate Ca/Calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) by oxidation via a NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2)-dependent pathway leading to increased arrhythmic afterdepolarizations. Interestingly, cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) which regulates similar targets as CaMKII has recently been shown to be redox-sensitive as well.', 'This study aims to investigate the distinct molecular mechanisms underlying Ang II-related cardiac arrhythmias with an emphasis on the individual contribution of PKA vs. CaMKII.', 'Isolated ventricular cardiac myocytes from rats and mice were used. Ang II exposure resulted in increased NOX2-dependent ROS generation assessed by expression of redox-sensitive GFP and in myocytes loaded with ROS indicator MitoSOX. Whole cell patch clamp measurements showed that Ang II significantly increased peak Ca and Na current (ICa and INa) possibly by enhancing steady-state activation of ICa and INa. These effects were absent in myocytes lacking functional NOX2 (gp91phox(-/-)). In parallel experiments using PKA inhibitor H89, the Ang II effects on peak INa and ICa were also absent. In contrast, genetic knockout of CaMKII (CaMKII(-/-)) did not influence the Ang II-dependent increase in peak ICa and INa. On the other hand, Ang II enhanced INa inactivation, increased late INa and induced diastolic SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) Ca leak (confocal Ca spark measurements) in a CaMKII-, but not PKA-dependent manner. Surprisingly, only the increase in diastolic SR Ca leak was absent in gp91phox(-/-)myocytes suggesting that Ang II regulates INa inactivation in a manner dependent on CaMKII- but not on NOX2. Finally, we show that Ang II increased the propensity for cellular arrhythmias, for which PKA and CaMKII contribute, both dependent on NOX2.\Question: Does nADPH oxidase 2 mediate angiotensin II-dependent cellular arrhythmias via PKA and CaMKII?
answer:
Ang II activates PKA and CaMKII via NOX2, which results in disturbed Na and Ca currents (via PKA) and enhanced diastolic SR Ca leakage (via CaMKII). Oxidative activation of PKA and CaMKII via NOX2 may represent important pro-arrhythmogenic pathways in the setting of increased Ang II stimulation, which may be relevant for the treatment of arrhythmias in cardiac disease.
