    Notes: Abstract E-cadherin (E-cad) plays a major role in the maintenance of cell-cell adhesion in epithelial tissues, and impaired E-cad expression correlates with tumour invasion and metastasis. Alpha-catenin (α-cat), an undercoat protein of adherens junctions, binds to the cytoplasmic domain of E-cad and is essential for linking E-cad to actin-based cytoskeleton. We investigated E-cad and α-cat expression in 60 human gastric cancers immunohistochemically. The 60 gastric cancers were classified into 18 (30%) in which α-cat expression was preserved, and 42 (70%) reduced cases. The reduction of α-cat expression was significantly related to dedifferentiation, depth of invasion, infiltrative growth and lymph node metastasis. We also examined the co-expression of α-cat and E-cad. Seventeen (28%) tumours preserved both molecules [α-cat(+)/E-cad(+)] and 33 (55%) tumours reduced both [α-cat(−)/E-cad(−)], whereas 9 (15%) tumours exhibited α-cat(−)/E-cad(+). The frequency of lymph node metastasis in α-cat(−)/E-cad(+) tumour (67%) was significantly higher than that in α-cat(+)/E-cad(+) tumours (24%) and was close to that in α-cat(−)/E-cad(−) tumours (82%). The frequency of haematogenous liver metastasis in α-cat(−)/E-cad(+) tumours (44%) was significantly higher than that in α-cat(+)/E-cad(+) tumours (6%) or α-cat(−)/E-cad(−) tumours (9%). Thus, in all E-cad(+) tumours, the frequency of lymph node and liver metastasis was higher in α-cat(−) tumours than in α-cat(+) tumours. α-Cat expression is apparently better at predicting tumour invasion and metastasis than E-cad expression.

    Notes: Abstract In a survey of antifungal stress compounds induced by cupric chloride we found that leaves ofChenopodium album exuded a highly fungitoxic metabolite mucondialdehyde (trans-2,trans-4-hexadienedial), which was associated with 13-oxo-9,11-tridecadienoic acids (cis-9,trans-11 andtrans-9,trans-11 isomers) presumably resulting from β-scission of 13-hydroperoxy-octadecadi(tri)enoic acid. The biogenesis and role as a general defensive agent in plants are briefly discussed.

    Notes: A cell growth factor protein (insulin) and/or a cell-adhesion protein (fibronectin) were immobilized on surface-hydrolyzed poly(methyl methacrylate) membranes. The growth of mouse fibroblast cells STO was accelerated by the immobilized insulin. This acceleration was enhanced by introduction of spacer arms. Coimmobilization of insulin and fibronectin was very effective for the acceleration of cell growth. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
