    Notes: Summary Advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) accumulation in extracellular matrix proteins has been demonstrated in diabetic patients with a significant correlation with the severity of diabetic complications. AGE accumulation induces matrix protein cross-link formation, resulting in an increased stiffness of matrix fibres and the reduction of the susceptibility of matrix proteins to proteolytic degradation. We examined whether glycation-induced collagen cross-linking may affect vascular endothelial cell behaviours such as invasion, proliferation and differentiation, using the in vitro angiogenesis model of capillary-like structure formation in three-dimensional matrices of collagen type I. Endothelial cells cultured on collagen gel with angiogenic factors (the combination of fibroblast growth factor-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor) invaded the underlying collagen matrix, and organized capillary-like cord structures in the gel. We found that endothelial cell invasion into glycated collagen gel was significantly attenuated without any effect on proteinase activity including cell-associated plasminogen activator and matrix metalloproteinase in the conditioned medium. In addition, subsequent capillary-like cord formation was also inhibited in glycated collagen gel. In contrast, endothelial cell proliferation was enhanced on glycated collagen gel with or without angiogenic factors compared with control collagen gel. These results suggest that the structural alterations of extracellular matrix proteins through the glycation-induced cross-link formation affect the interaction between endothelial cell and extracellular matrix, resulting in the impairment of an adequate neovascularization in diabetic patients.

    Notes: Abstract Five yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones containing the human casein gene family were isolated and characterized to study the control mechanisms for the expression of these genes. Partial restriction analysis in conjunction with the chromosomal fragmentation method and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were performed to construct a detailed physical map of the casein gene family and to determine the chromosomal localization of these genes. The isolated YAC clones 748F3, 750D11, 882G11, 886B3 and 960D2 were 1.2 Mb, 860 kb, 800 kb 1.5 Mb and 1.5 Mb in size, respectively. The clones 748F3, 882G11, 886B3 and 960D2 contained the entire casein gene family, while the κ-casein gene was absent in 750D11. The human αS1-, β- and κ-casein genes were found to be closely linked and arranged in the order αS1-β-κ. The distance between αS1 and β, and between αS1 and κ was approximately 10 and 300 kb, respectively. The β-casein gene was oriented in the opposite direction to the αS1- and κ-casein genes. The casein gene family was localized to chromosome 4q21.1 by FISH analysis.

    Notes: Abstract An engineered yeast with emission of fluorescence from the cell surface was constructed. Cell surface engineering was applied to display a visible reporter molecule, green fluorescent protein (GFP). A glucose-inducible promoter GAPDH as a model promoter was selected to control the expression of the reporter gene in response to environmental changes. The GFP gene was fused with the gene encoding the C-terminal half of α-agglutinin of Saccharomyces cerevisiae having a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor attachment signal sequence. A secretion signal sequence of the fungal glucoamylase precursor protein was connected to the N-terminal of GFP. This designed gene was integrated into the TRP1 locus of the chromosome of S. cerevisiae with homologous recombination. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that the transformant cells emitted green fluorescence derived from functionally expressed GFP involved in the fusion molecule. The surface display of GFP was further verified by immunofluorescence labeling with a polyclonal antibody (raised in rabbits) against GFP as the first antibody and Rhodamine Red-X-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG as the second antibody which cannot penetrate into the cell membrane. The display of GFP on the cell surface was confirmed using a confocal laser scanning microscope and by measuring fluorescence in each cell fraction obtained after the subcellular fractionation. As GFP was proved to be displayed as an active form on the cell surface, selection of promoters will endow yeast cells with abilities to respond to changes in environmental conditions, including nutrient concentrations in the media, through the emission of fluorescence.

    Notes: Abstract. Two cases of uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma whose main mass was located in uterine myometrium are reported. They mimicked uterine leiomyoma with cystic degeneration or uterine leiomyosarcoma. Endometrial stromal sarcoma should be suggested in the differential diagnosis of mass lesion in uterine myometrium.

    Notes: Industrially relevant PIII conditions were applied to H13 and CrNiMo 316 steel as well as in CrCoMo and Ti6Al4V metal alloys. Typically, nitrogen ions were implanted at peak voltages of 10 to 15 kV, 50 to 80 (s pulse durations, and 1 to 2 kHz frequencies, for treatment times of 1 to12h. Case thicknesses of more than 20 μm were achieved in treated H13 steel which resulted in reduced friction and wear. For CrNiMo steel, a wear reduction of as high as 160 times was obtained besides a significant reduction of the coefficient of friction. Much thinner modified layer was obtained for Ti6Al4V but sufficient for an important improvement of the surface hardness

    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:  Because selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) suppressed the induction of skin tumors in mice by UV and as UV has been shown to induce expression of COX-2 in skin and cells, COX-2 may be crucial for photocarcinogenesis of the skin. We studied the mechanism of UVB-induced expression of COX-2 focusing on the signal transduction pathway involved. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment of HaCaT cells induced expression of COX-2 and pretreatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) partly inhibited the UVB-induced expression of COX-2 protein in HaCaT cells, suggesting that oxidative stress contributes to COX-2 induction. To examine the signaling pathways involved in the UVB-induced expression of COX-2 in HaCaT cells, we analysed the expression of COX-2 protein after treatment with various inhibitors of signaling molecules. Inhibition of EGFR by a specific inhibitor and by a neutralizing antibody suppressed the induction of COX-2 expression by UV. Although a neutralizing antibody to transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) suppressed COX-2 expression induced by TGF-α, it did not suppress COX-2 expression by UV, indicating that a direct activation of EGFR is involved. Treatment of cells at low temperature (4°C) inhibited UVB-induced JNK activation, but it did not inhibit COX-2 expression by UV. Inhibitors of MEK, p38 MAP kinase and PI3-kinase, suppressed the induction of COX-2 expression by UV. In contrast, an erbB-2 inhibitor augmented the UVB-induced increase of COX-2 protein. These data indicate that oxidative stress in association with activation of EGFR, ERK, p38 MAP kinase, and PI3-kinase plays crucial roles in the UVB induction of expression of COX-2.
