Background: Progastrin-releasing peptide (proGRP) is a recently identified biomarker of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We aimed this study for evaluating the usefulness of automated proGRP measurement for diagnosis and treatment monitoring in patients with SCLC. Methods: From January 2011 to December 2013, plasma samples were prospectively collected from 452 [213 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 104 SCLC, 135 other diseases] patients visited for tissue diagnosis and tested by two-step automated immunoassay using the ARCHITECT proGRP assay kit (Abbott Diagnostics, USA). The cutoff level of proGRP was set at 63 pg/mL. Results: The mean proGRP was higher in SCLC (1823.0 ± 2684.0 pg/mL) than in NSCLC (61.0 ± 341.7 pg/mL) and other diseases (51.5 ± 222.6 pg/mL, p<0.001). The sensitivity of proGRP was 85.7% (90/105) in SCLC and 11.8% (25/212) in NSCLC. The specificity was 90.2%, positive predictive value was 72.5%, and negative predictive value was 95.4% in SCLC. The mean proGRP was higher in extensive disease (2158.1 ± 2980.6 pg/mL) than in limited disease (901.4 ± 1216.0 pg/mL, p=0.033). Among the 39 patients with SCLC could be followed, the mean proGRP levels of 23 responders were significantly decreased after chemotherapy (from 1651.5 ± 1386.4 pg/mL to 290.0 ± 524.8 pg/mL, p<0.001), whereas those of the 16 non-responders were not. (from 572.5 ± 790.3 pg/mL to 494.4 ± 610.9 pg/mL, p=0.583). Conclusion: Plasma proGRP could be a useful biomarker of SCLC for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. And the initial level may represent the tumor extent of SCLC.

침샘은 하루 1.5 l의 침을 분비하며, 일반적으로 침샘에서 수분이동은 능동적 염분 이동에 따른 삼투현상에 의해 일어난다. 따라서 침샘에서 높은 수분투과성으로 인해 수분통로 단백인 aquaporin (AQP)들이 풍부하게 존재할 수 있다. 지금까지침샘에 4가지 형태의 AQP이 존재한다고 알려져 있지만 침샘에서 정확한 위치와 수분 이동에 대한 각 AQP들의 역할은 아직 확실치 않다. 본 연구는 300 g 정도의 흰쥐를 pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg, IP) 마취하에서 carbarchol (10 μg/kg)을 복강 내 투여한 후 AQP들의 역할과 분포를 면역조직화학방법으로 조사하였다. AQP1은 침샘의 미세혈관의 내피세포와 샘세포와 샘관 주위에 존재하는 근육상피세포에 존재하였다. AQP4는 침샘관의 마지막 부위인 배출관에 존재하였다. AQP5는 주로 장액세포의 바닥가쪽과 세포사이 분비소관을 포함한 세포꼭대기쪽막 에 존재하였으며 콜린성 분비 자극으로 세포꼭대기쪽막으로 이동되어 밀집되었다. AQP5는 모든 침샘의 사이관과 줄무늬 관에도 존재하였으며 점액세포는 약하게 존재하였다. AQP8은 AQP5처럼 장액세포의 바닥쪽막과 세포사이 분비소관을 포함한 세포꼭대기쪽막에 존재하였으며 콜린성 침분비 자극으로 세포꼭대기쪽막쪽으로 이동되어 밀집되었다. 이상의 실험결과는 AQP5와 AQP8이 장액세포에서 일차 침 형성시 일어나는 수분이동의 주된 통로임을 시사하였다. The salivary glands produce 1.5 l of fluid per day. As in other organs, the general paradigm in the salivary glands is that water movement occurs secondary to osmotic driving forces created by active salt transport. Therefore, high water permeability in salivary glands is expected to need a variety of aquaporin (AQP), a water channel. Although four AQPs have been known to reside in salivary glands, the precise location and roles of AQPs have been not well examined. This study is aimed to investigate the distribution of AQPs in 3 major salivary glands and their changes after cholinergic stimulation using immunohistochemical study in Sprague Dawley rats weighing 300 g under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia. AQP1 was localized in the endothelial cells of all salivary capillary vessels and the myoepithelial cells. AQP4 was demonstrated in the epithelium of the excretory ductal cells of all salivary glands. AQP5 and 8 were abundantly present in the basolateral membrane and apical membranes of the serous acini including intercellular secretory canaliculi, whereas AQP5 was weakly present in mucous acini. In addition, AQP5 was found in the epithelium of the intercalated and striated ducts. Upon stimulation of carbachol (10 μg/kg, I.P). AQP5 and 8 tended to translocate from basolateral membrane to the apical membrane, appearing as clusters of dots. These results suggest that AQP5 and 8 are the candidate molecules responsible for the water movement in salivary acinar cells.

<P>This letter presents a compact directive antenna to radiate a high-power ultrawideband (UWB) pulse. The proposed antenna is composed of a modified biconical-based radiator (electric dipole), magnetic dipoles, a feedthrough insulator, and a coaxial cable. The electrical size of the antenna is <TEX>$0.195{\lambda _L} \times 0.195{\lambda _L} \times 0.176{\lambda _L}$</TEX> ( <TEX>${\hbox{width}} \times {\hbox{height}} \times {\hbox{length}}$</TEX> ), where <TEX>${\lambda _L}$</TEX> is the wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency of the bandwidth. The fabricated antenna realizes a bandwidth of 0.207–2.60 GHz (12.56:1) and a far-voltage of 131.3674 kV with a front–back ratio of 22.72 dB. The antenna is designed to radiate a <TEX>$\pm 75~\hbox{kV}$</TEX> amplitude bipolar pulse with a 0.83-ns pulse width through the frequency band from 0.207 to 2.33 GHz.</P>

Hemistepsin A (HsA) is a guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone that inhibits hepatitis and liver fibrosis. We evaluated the effects of HsA on liver X receptor (LXR)-mediated hepatic lipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Up to 10 μM, HsA did not affect the viability of HepG2 and Huh7 cells. Pretreatment with 5-10 μM HsA significantly decreased the luciferase activity of the LXR response element, which was transactivated by T0901317, GW 3965, and LXRα/retinoid X receptor α overexpression. In addition, it significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of LXRα in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. It also suppressed the expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c and lipogenic genes and reduced the triglyceride accumulation triggered by T0901317. Intraperitoneal injection of HsA (5 and 10 mg/kg) in mice significantly alleviated the T0901317-mediated increases in hepatocyte diameter and the percentage of regions in hepatic parenchyma occupied by lipid droplets. Furthermore, HsA significantly attenuated hepatic triglyceride accumulation by restoring the impaired expression of LXRα-dependent lipogenic genes caused by T0901317. Therefore, based on its inhibition of the LXRα-dependent signaling pathway, HsA has prophylactic potential for steatosis. [BMB Reports 2021; 54(2): 106-111]

Investigation of nervous necrosis virus (NNV) replication <i>in vitro</i> using RNA <i>in situ</i> hybridization

Kim, Jae-Ok,Kim, Wi-Sik,Oh, Myung-Joo ELSEVIER 2019 VIRUS RESEARCH Vol.260 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) belongs to the genus <I>Betanodavirus</I> of family <I>Nodaviridae</I>. Its genome consists of two RNA segments, RNA1 and RNA2. Several studies have investigated NNV detection by <I>in situ</I> hybridization (ISH), but these have typically focused on the detection of the RNA2 gene. In this study, we localized both RNA1 and RNA2 NNV segments in viral-infected cells by ISH, using labeled RNA probes (RNA-ISH). Also, immunocytochemistry (ICC) assay was carried out for localization of viral particle by targeting the coat protein. Further, viral quantification assays were performed by quantitative RT-PCR and viral infectivity (TCID<SUB>50</SUB>) in SSN-1 cells. Viral segments were observed by RNA-ISH at 6 h post infection (hpi), while NNV particles were detected at 24 hpi by ICC. Use of double labeling RNA-ISH revealed the co-expression of the two viral segments in the same area of the cells, while RNA1 was also detected separately. Comparison of the level of viral genomic segments and viral infectivity revealed significantly more copies of RNA1 at each time points than copies of RNA2 and greater NNV titers. The results suggest that RNA1 might be expressed in the early stages of replication, with RNA2 expressed later. The virions then assemble through initially expressed viral genomic segments. Even though infectious particles displayed very efficient packaging, the RNA1 segment was still over-produced.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Viral segments RNA1 and RNA2 were localized in NNV-infected cells by ISH using labeled RNA probes. </LI> <LI> RNA1 and RNA2 was expressed at an early stage, virions are then assembled through the initially expressed viral genes. </LI> <LI> The RNA1 gene was expressed separately by double labeling RNA-ISH. </LI> <LI> Although the packaging of infectious particles is efficient, the RNA1 gene was still over-produced. </LI> </UL> </P>

Proangiogenic TIE2+/CD31+ macrophages are the predominant population of tumor-associated macrophages infiltrating metastatic lymph nodes

Kim, Ok-Hee,Kang, Gun-Hyung,Noh, Hyungjoon,Cha, Ji-Young,Lee, Ho-Jae,Yoon, Jeong-Hwan,Mamura, Mizuko,Nam, Jeong-Seok,Lee, Dae Ho,Kim, Young A.,Park, Young Joo,Kim, Hyeonjin,Oh, Byung-Chul Springer-Verlag 2013 Molecules and cells Vol.36 No.5

<P>Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) accumulate in various cancers and promote tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, and thus may be ideal targets for the clinical diagnosis of tumor metastasis with high specificity. However, there are few specific markers to distinguish between TAMs and normal or inflammatory macrophages. Here, we show that TAMs localize in green fluorescent protein-labeled tumors of metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) from B16F1 melanoma cells but not in necrotic tumor regions, suggesting that TAMs may promote the growth of tumor cells and the progression of tumor metastasis. Furthermore, we isolated pure populations of TAMs from MLNs and characterized their gene expression signatures compared to peritoneal macrophages (PMs), and found that TAMs significantly overexpress immunosuppressive cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-β as well as proangiogenic factors such as VEGF, TIE2, and CD31. Notably, immunological analysis revealed that TIE2(+)/CD31(+) macrophages constitute the predominant population of TAMs that infiltrate MLNs, distinct from tissue or inflammatory macrophages. Importantly, these TIE2(+)/CD31(+) macrophages also heavily infiltrated MLNs from human breast cancer biopsies but not reactive hyperplastic LNs. Thus, TIE2(+)/ CD31(+) macrophages may be a unique histopathological biomarker for detecting metastasis in clinical diagnosis, and a novel and promising target for TAM-specific cancer therapy.</P>
