    Notes: We have previously cloned human papillomavirus type 82 (HPV-82) from a vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, but it is not known whether HPV-82 can induce a cutaneous lesion. A large erosive nodule developed on the scrotum of a 50-year-old Japanese patient. Histopathologically, the lesion was composed of two distinct parts; one part showing changes characteristic of Bowen's disease in the epidermis, and the other showing elongated rete ridges and proliferation of atypical basaloid cells in the dermis. These parts were partially connected, giving the diagnosis of Bowen's carcinoma. Immunohistochemically, HPV capsid antigen was detected only in the nuclei of a few cells on the upper part of the epidermis. HPV-82 was identified in the lesion by blot hybridization and viral DNA was demonstrated in the lesion by in situ hybridization. HPV-82 has tropism for both the skin and the genital regions.

    Notes: Abstract:  In order to investigate the mechanism of glycolic acid (GA) function in human stratum corneum, we monitored changes in cathepsin D-like (CD) and chymotrypsin-like (SCCE) proteinases for 3 weeks following topical GA application (50% w/v, pH 0.9) for 30 min to human skin. In the early phase, weakened stratum corneum cohesion in the lower layers was observed on day 2 and the amount of active CD in the upper layer of the stratum corneum was significantly decreased from 30 min until day 2, whereas that in the lower layer remained normal. In contrast, the amount of active SCCE showed no change during the experimental period. The surface pH of the stratum corneum drastically decreased to pH 2 at 30 min and slightly recovered to around pH 3 until 1 day after treatment. From 9 to 19 days, a decrease in corneocyte cell area and a remarkable long-term increase in the amount of active CD in the upper layer were observed. In an in vitro study, the activities of desquamation-regulating proteinases were shown to have remarkably increased at around pH 3, due to activation of CD at its optimal pH. These results suggest that GA functions via at least two different mechanisms, acute activation of CD in the lower layer by acidification around pH 3, along with inactivation of CD in the upper layer, and long-term enhancement of de novo CD production in the few weeks following GA treatment.

    Morphological Changes in Human Melanoma Cells Following Irradiation With Thermal Neutrons (1989)

    Notes: Morphological changes in two human melanoma cell lines, MM96 and MM418, following irradiation with thermal neutrons, were studied using light and electron microscopy. The results show that the response of human malignant melanoma cells to neutron irradiation is both cell line dependent and dose dependent, and that in any given cell line, some cells are more resistant to irradiation than others, thus demonstrating heterogeneity in respect to radiosensitivity. Cells repopulating MM96 flasks after irradiation were morphologically similar to the cells of origin whereas in MM418 flasks cells differentiated into five morphologically distinct subgroups and showed increased melanization. The results also show that radiation causes distinctive morphological patterns of damage although ultrastructural changes unique to the high LET particles released from boron 10 neutron capture are yet to be identified.

    A case of porphyria cutanea tarda with experimental light urticaria (1985)

    Notes: Photobiological tests were carried out on a 32-year-old man who suffered from porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). The patient developed an immediate type of skin reaction with erythema and whealing following monochromatic irradiation at 400 nm, but did not have any abnormal immediate skin reaction after exposure to natural sunlight. Pre- or simultaneous irradiation with visible light, wavelength greater than 650 nm, suppressed the development of urticaria induced by 400 nm monochromatic radiation.On the basis of these findings and our previous observation of an inhibitory spectrum in two cases of solar urticaria, we suggest that there is also an inhibitory spectrum in PCT. This could explain the extremely low incidence of immediate erythematous or urticarial reactions in sun-exposed skin in these patients.

    N-retinoyl-D-glucosamine, a new retinoic acid agonist, mediates topical retinoid efficacy with no irritation on photoaged skin (2005)

    Notes: Background  Chronic ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight induces wrinkle formation. Retinoic acid (RA) can markedly improve wrinkles, although RA does have some side-effects, such as skin irritation. As the efficacy and cytotoxicity of RA has been traced to its free carboxylic acid, we synthesized a new molecule, N-retinoyl-D-glucosamine (GRA), in which a glucosamine has been attached to the polar end group of all-trans retinoic acid.Objectives  To analyse the effect of topical GRA in wrinkle repair and anti-irritation in photoaged mice compared with topical RA, as well as to determine retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) transactivation activity in vitro.Methods  Hairless mice were irradiated with 60 mJ cm−2 of UVB for 10 weeks, and then topically treated with 0·05% GRA or 0·05% RA for 8 weeks. An in vitro transcriptional assay was performed and the activity of GRA in 293 cells transfected with RAR-α or RXR-α expression plasmid and luciferase reporter plasmid then determined.Results  Topical GRA and RA brought about almost complete disappearance of the wrinkles caused by UVB irradiation. The two ligands promoted both a wide repair zone histologically, and the expression of type 1 collagen in the skin. In contrast, topical GRA treatment did not produce irritation such as erythema or roughness, or alteration of transepidermal water loss values, compared with RA. In the in vitro luciferase assay, GRA resulted in significant dose-dependent RAR transactivation activity in a 100 times higher concentration range than RA. GRA did not mediate RXR transactivation activity at all.Conclusions  Topical GRA appears to be able to repair photoaged skin damage without any of the irritation caused by topical RA, probably via RAR transactivation activity.

    Notes: A 61-year-old female patient with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), registered as XP46KO, was assigned to complementation group F by the cell fusion-complementation method. The XP46KO fibroblasts in culture exhibited a defective DNA repair capacity of 10–15% unscheduled DNA synthesis and a 3-fold sensitivity to the lethal effect of 254 nm ultraviolet light compared with normal cells. The patient had mild clinical symptoms consisting of numerous pigmented freckles and a small number of scborrheic keratosis-like papules. She had no skin cancers in the sun-exposed areas of the skin and so far no neurological abnormalities. A review of 11 Japanese group F patients revealed very mild skin symptoms with no ocular or neuro-psychiatric abnormalities. Single skin cancers occurred in only 3 of the 11 patients with an average age of 52 years for their first skin malignancy.

    Time-dependent suppression of melanoma metastases and natural killer cell activation by interferon (1986)

    Notes: Summary The effect of murine α/β interferon (IFN) on experimental metastasis was investigated using B16-F10 melanoma cells. Since the outcome of metastasis of blood-borne tumor cells is mainly determined within the first 24 h after i.v. inoculation of tumor cells, i.p. injection of IFN was focused on this critical early phase. The inhibition of pulmonary metastases by IFN was found to be maximal when given 3 h prior to tumor cell inoculation, while mice with 24-h and 12-h pretreatment and simultaneous IFN treatment also showed a reduction in metastases, but to a lesser extent. However, mice receiving IFN 2 h after tumor cell inoculation did not show any reduction. Tumor cells cultured for 24 h in IFN-containing medium showed no reduction in metastases. Administration of anti-asialo GMl prior to IFN treatment was found to eliminate the inhibitory effect of IFN 3 h pretreatment. However, natural killer (NK) cell activity in vitro measured at 3 h, 13 h and 24 h after IFN administration was enhanced to the same extent, not paralleling the inhibitory effect on pulmonary metastases. These data indicate that prepared host status against blood-borne tumor cells is established by IFN pretreatment, being maximal when injected several hours prior to tumor cell inoculation, and that this effect is substantially dependent on NK cell activity, though the implication of other factors is not excluded.

    Cockayne syndrome: Magnetic resonance images of the brain in a severe form with early onset (1988)

    Notes: Summary A 2-year-old boy with an early onset and severe form of Cockayne's syndrome (CS) showed differences from the common CS form, which made the clinical diagnosis difficult. However, the cellular characteristics of CS, that the patient's skin fibroblasts exhibited the hypersensitivity to the lethal effect of 254 nm ultraviolet light (UV) and a defective recovery of post-UV DNA synthesis, but normal level of UV-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis, were observed. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by the inversion-recovery method of the brain at age of 26 months showed atrophy or poor development of high signal images of the white matter. The MRI spin-echo image showed a low signal image of the lenticular nucleus. The T1 and T2 values of the cerebrum (grey matter, white matter, lenticular nucleus and thalamus) were greater than those of the age-matched controls, but similar to infant brains with much free water. Such MRI findings may suggest hypomyelination leading to the severe atrophy of the brain in this CS patient. His severe symptoms progressed rapidly until his death at 35 months due to systemic sepsis and renal dysfunction. Autopsy revealed severe microcephaly, severe atrophy of cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem, and calcification throughout the brain, especially in the basal ganglia. Myelin staining showed numerous patchy losses of myelination in the cortical white matter.
