  • High XRCC1 protein expression is associated with poorer survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. 21908577

    We evaluated X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 1 (XRCC1) protein in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients in association with outcome.XRCC1 protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of pretreatment tissue samples in 138 consecutive HNSCC patients treated with surgery (n = 31), radiation (15), surgery and radiation (23), surgery and adjuvant chemoradiation (17), primary chemoradiation (51), and palliative measures (1).Patients with high XRCC1 expression by IHC (n = 77) compared with patients with low XRCC1 expression (n = 60) had poorer median overall survival (OS; 41.0 months vs. OS not reached, P = 0.009) and poorer progression-free survival (28.0 months vs. 73.0 months, P = 0.031). This association was primarily due to patients who received chemoradiation (median OS of high- and low-XRCC1 expression patients, 35.5 months and not reached respectively, HR 3.48; 95% CI: 1.44-8.38; P = 0.006). In patients treated with nonchemoradiation modalities, there was no survival difference by XRCC1 expression. In multivariable analysis, high XRCC1 expression and p16(INK4a)-positive status were independently associated with survival in the overall study population (HR = 2.62; 95% CI: 1.52-4.52; P less than 0.001 and HR = 0.21; 95% CI: 0.06-0.71; P = 0.012, respectively) and among chemoradiation patients (HR = 6.02; 95% CI: 2.36-15.37; P less than 0.001 and HR = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.08-0.92, respectively; P = 0.037).In HNSCC, high XRCC1 protein expression is associated with poorer survival, particularly in patients receiving chemoradiation. Future validation of these findings may enable identification of HNSCC expressing patients who benefit from chemoradiation treatment.

  • Elevated plasma osteopontin in metastatic breast cancer associated with increased tumor burden and decreased survival. 9815727

    Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted, integrin-binding phosphoprotein that has been implicated in both normal and pathological processes; qualitative increases in OPN blood levels have been reported in a small number of patients with metastatic tumors of various kinds. We measured plasma OPN levels in 70 women with known metastatic breast carcinoma, 44 patient controls who were on follow-up after completion of adjuvant treatment for early breast cancer, and 35 normal volunteers. The median plasma OPN of patients with metastatic disease was 142 microgram/liter (range, 38-1312 microgram/liter) and was significantly different (P < 0.0001, Mann Whitney U test) from both control groups (medians, 60 and 47 microgram/liter; ranges, 15-117 and 22-122 microgram/liter). Furthermore, we found that increasing plasma OPN is associated with shorter survival (P < 0.001) when patients were grouped in terciles for plasma OPN. This was also demonstrated when using a Cox proportional hazards model. Median plasma OPN levels were significantly increased for three or more sites of involvement (median, 232 microgram/liter; n = 13) versus 1 or 2 metastatic sites (medians, 129 and 130 microgram/liter; n = 29 and 28, respectively). Plasma OPN levels were correlated with other biochemical markers related to the extent of disease, such as serum alkaline phosphatase, aspartate succinate aminotransaminase, and albumin (r = 0.81, 0.62, and -0.56, respectively; all P < 0.001). This study demonstrates a statistically significant elevation in plasma OPN in the majority ( approximately 70%) of a large series of patients with metastatic breast cancer when compared (95th percentile) to healthy women or patients who had completed adjuvant treatment for early-stage breast cancer. Furthermore, this is the first study to demonstrate that higher OPN levels in patients with metastatic breast cancer may be associated with an increased number of involved sites and decreased survival.

  • ACh and adenosine activate PI3-kinase in rabbit hearts through transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinases. 12388234

    Adenosine and acetylcholine (ACh) trigger preconditioning through different signaling pathways. We tested whether either could activate myocardial phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), a putative signaling protein in ischemic preconditioning. We used phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream target of PI3-kinase, as a reporter. Exposure of isolated rabbit hearts to ACh increased Akt phosphorylation 2.62 +/- 0.33 fold (P = 0.001), whereas adenosine caused a significantly smaller increase (1.52 +/- 0.08 fold). ACh-induced activation of Akt was abolished by the tyrosine kinase blocker genistein indicating at least one tyrosine kinase between the muscarinic receptor and Akt. ACh-induced Akt activation was blocked by the Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) and by 4-(3-chloroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (AG-1478), an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, suggesting phosphorylation of a receptor tyrosine kinase in an Src tyrosine kinase-dependent manner. ACh caused tyrosine phosphorylation of the EGFR, which could be blocked by PP2, thus supporting this receptor hypothesis. AG-1478 failed to block the cardioprotection of ACh, however, suggesting that other receptor tyrosine kinases might be involved. Therefore, G(i) protein-coupled receptors can activate PI3-kinase/Akt through transactivation of receptor tyrosine kinases in an Src tyrosine kinase-dependent manner.

  • Peptide-mediated disruption of calmodulin-cyclin E interactions inhibits proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and neointima formation. 21372285

    Cell cycle progression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a therapeutic target for restenosis.Having discovered that calmodulin (CaM)-dependent cyclin E/CDK2 activity underlies Ca(2+)-sensitive G(1)-to-S phase transitions in VSMCs, we sought to explore the physiological importance of the CaM-cyclin E interaction.A peptide based on the CaM binding sequence (CBS) of cyclin E was designed to interfere with CaM-cyclin E binding. Compared with control peptides, CBS blocked activating Thr160 phosphorylation of CDK2, decreased basal cyclin E/CDK2 activity, and eliminated Ca(2+)-sensitive cyclin E/CDK2 activity in nuclear extracts from mouse VSMCs. Nucleofection with CBS, or treatment with CBS conjugated to the HIV-1 TAT protein transduction domain to improve bioavailability, inhibited G(1)-to-S cell cycle progression in a dose-dependent manner. These effects were not observed with control peptides. TAT-CBS inhibited (3)H-thymidine incorporation in primary human aortic SMCs (HA-SMCs) in vitro, manifested greater transduction into HA-SMCs compared with endothelial cells in vitro, and limited decreased SM22α expression, neointima formation, and medial thickening without affecting collagen deposition or reendothelialization in a mouse model of carotid artery injury in vivo. The antiproliferative effects of CBS remained evident in mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from wild-type mice but not cyclin E1/E2 double knockout mice.A synthetic peptide designed to disrupt CaM-cyclin E binding inhibits Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent CDK2 activity, cell cycle progression, and proliferation in VSMCs and limits arterial remodeling following injury. Importantly, this effect appears to be cyclin E-dependent and may form the basis of a potentially novel therapeutic approach for restenosis.

  • Circulating leptin and ghrelin are differentially influenced by estrogen/progestin therapy and raloxifene. 18164562

    BACKGROUND: Leptin and ghrelin are increasingly being recognized as cardiotropic hormones, promoting or inhibiting the atherosclerotic process, respectively. Apoptosis may be one pathway through which the actions of these hormones are mediated. Sex hormones are reported to influence the secretion and action of ghrelin and leptin. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate (1) the association of circulating ghrelin and leptin with selected markers of receptor-mediated apoptosis and (2) the effect of estrogen monotherapy, low dose estrogen-progestin therapy, tibolone and raloxifene on serum ghrelin and leptin in healthy postmenopausal women. METHODS: Eighty eight postmenopausal women aged 44-62 years were randomly allocated to daily (1) conjugated equine estrogens 0.625 mg (CEE), (2) 17beta-estradiol 1mg plus norethisterone acetate 0.5 mg (E(2)/NETA), (3) tibolone 2.5mg, (4) raloxifene HCl 60 mg or (5) no treatment. Serum markers of apoptosis sFas, Fas-ligand (Fas-L) and caspase-1 were measured at baseline. Serum leptin and ghrelin were measured at baseline and at 3 months. RESULTS: Body Mass Index (BMI) and estradiol levels correlated positively, while FSH correlated negatively with serum leptin (BMI: r=0.646, p=0.005, estradiol: r=0.432, p=0.001, FSH: r=-0.401, p=0.002). Insulin levels associated positively with circulating leptin (r=0.394, p=0.011) and negatively with circulating ghrelin (r=-0.401, p=0.009). Serum leptin decreased significantly in E2/NETA group (baseline: 2.882+/-0.76 ng/ml, 3 months: 2.687+/-0.66 ng/ml, p=0.043), while it increased significantly in the raloxifene group (baseline: 2.671+/-0.54 ng/ml, 3 months: 2.839+/-0.47 ng/ml). Ghrelin levels decreased significantly only in the raloxifene group (baseline: 1634+/-592 pg/ml, 3 months: 1408+/-534 pg/ml). CONCLUSION: Apoptosis may be a pathway through which leptin exerts a pro-atherogenic effect. Low dose HT may act cardioprotectively by decreasing leptin levels in healthy recently menopaused women.

  • Localization and activation of glucagon-like peptide-2 receptors on vagal afferents in the rat. 17234710

    Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a nutrient-dependent proglucagon-derived hormone that stimulates intestinal growth through poorly understood paracrine and/or neural pathways. The relationship between GLP-2 action and a vagal pathway is unclear. Our aims were to determine whether 1) the GLP-2 receptor (GLP-2R) is expressed on vagal afferents by localizing it to the nodose ganglia; 2) exogenous GLP-2 stimulates the vagal afferent pathway by determining immunoreactivity for c-fos protein in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS); and 3) functional ablation of vagal afferents attenuates GLP-2-mediated intestinal growth in rats maintained with total parenteral nutrition (TPN). A polyclonal antibody against the N terminus of the rat GLP-2R was raised and characterized. The GLP-2R was localized to vagal afferents in the nodose ganglia and confirmed in enteroendocrine cells, enteric neurons, and nerve fibers in the myenteric plexus using immunohistochemistry. Activation of the vagal afferent pathway, as indicated by c-fos protein immunoreactivity in the NTS, was determined by immunohistochemistry after ip injection of 200 microg human GLP-2. GLP-2 induced a significant 5-fold increase in the number of c-fos protein immunoreactive neurons in the NTS compared with saline. Ablation of vagal afferent function by perivagal application of capsaicin, a specific afferent neurotoxin, abolished c-fos protein immunoreactivity, suggesting that activation of the NTS due to GLP-2 is dependent on vagal afferents. Exogenous GLP-2 prevented TPN-induced mucosal atrophy, but ablation of vagal afferent function with capsaicin did not attenuate this effect. This suggests that vagal-independent pathways are responsible for GLP-2 action in the absence of luminal nutrients during TPN, possibly involving enteric neurons or endocrine cells. This study shows for the first time that the GLP-2R is expressed by vagal afferents, and ip GLP-2 activates the vagal afferent pathway.

  • Sensory modulation of locomotor-like membrane oscillations in Hb9-expressing interneurons. 20393069

    The central pattern generator can generate locomotor-like rhythmic activity in the spinal cord in the absence of descending and peripheral inputs, but the motor pattern is regulated by feedback from peripheral sensory inputs that adjust motor outputs to external stimuli. To elucidate the possible role of Hb9-expressing interneurons (Hb9 INs) in the locomotor circuitry, we investigated whether their induced oscillatory activity is modulated by low-threshold afferents in the isolated spinal cords of neonatal Hb9:eGFP transgenic mice. Low-intensity stimulation of segmental afferents generated short-latency, monosynaptic excitatory responses in 62% of Hb9 INs. These were associated with longer-latency (approximately 13 ms) excitatory postsynaptic currents that were evoked in all Hb9 INs, probably by slow conducting afferents that synapse directly onto them. Concomitant morphological analysis confirmed that afferent axons with immunoreactive expression of vesicular glutamate transporter-1 and parvalbumin, presumably from primary afferents, contacted somata and dendrites of all Hb9 INs. Most of the putative synaptic contacts were on distal dendrites that extended to an area with profuse afferent projections. We next examined whether low-threshold afferents in upper (flexor-related) and lower (extensor-related) lumbar segments altered the timing of neurochemically induced locomotor-like rhythms in Hb9 INs and motoneurons. Excitation of flexor-related afferents during the flexor phase delayed the onset of subsequent cycles in both Hb9 INs and segmental motoneurons while maintaining the phase relationship between them. The in-phase correlation between voltage oscillations in Hb9 INs and motor bursts also persisted during the two- to threefold increase in cycle period triggered by extensor-related afferents. Our findings that low-threshold, presumably muscle afferents, synapse directly onto these interneurons and perturb their induced locomotor-like membrane oscillations in a pattern that remains phase-locked with motor bursts support the hypothesis that Hb9 INs are part of the sensorimotor circuitry that regulates the pattern of locomotor rhythms in the isolated cord.
