    Notes: Abstract A cDNA clone for 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.16) was isolated from a λgt11 cDNA library constructed from the poly(A)+ RNA of etiolated pumpkin cotyledons. The cDNA insert contained 1682 nucleotides and encoded 461 amino acid residues. A study of the expression in vitro of the cDNA and analysis of the amino-terminal sequence of the protein indicated that pumpkin thiolase is synthesized as a precursor which has a cleavable amino-terminal presequence of 33 amino acids. The amino-terminal presequence was highly homologous to typical amino-terminal signals that target proteins to microbodies. Immunoblot analysis showed that the amount of thiolase increased markedly during germination but decreased dramatically during the light-inducible transition of microbodies from glyoxysomes to leaf peroxisomes. By contrast, the amount of mRNA increased temporarily during the early stage of germination. In senescing cotyledons, the levels of the thiolase mRNA and protein increased again with the reverse transition of microbodies from leaf peroxisomes to glyoxysomes, but the pattern of accumulation of the protein was slightly different from that of malate synthase. These results indicate that expression of the thiolase is regulated in a similar manner to that of other glyoxysomal enzymes, such as malate synthase and citrate synthase, during seed germination and post-germination growth. By contrast, during senescence, expression of the thiolase is regulated in a different manner from that of other glyoxysomal enzymes.

    Notes: Abstract Conventional cytogenetic studies havedemonstrated frequent abnormalities of specificchromosomes in hepatocellular carcinoma, although thereare few reports examining the relationship betweenchromosomal aberrations and clinicopathologic features. Inthis study, numerical aberrations of chromosomes 16, 17,and 18 were examined by fluorescence in situhybridization using pericentromeric DNA probes in 20 cases of surgically removed hepatocellularcarcinoma. DNA ploidy analysis was also performed byflow cytometry. Numerical abnormalities of chromosomes16, 17, and 18 were found in 7 of 19 cases, 15 of 20 cases, and 12 of 20 cases, respectively. Gainand/or loss of more than one chromosome was detected in16 of 19 cases. However, aneuploidy was seen in only 9of 20 tumors by flow cytometry. The incidence of aneusomy 17 and 18 increased with tumor sizeand stage progression. Fluorescence in situhybridization analysis demonstrated that numericalchromosomal aberrations accumulated with tumorprogression in hepatocellular carcinoma.
