RESUMEN
Oncolytic virotherapy using adenoviruses has potential therapeutic benefits for a variety of cancers. We recently developed MOA5, a tumor-specific midkine promoter-regulated oncolytic vector based on human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5). We modified the binding tropism of MOA5 by replacing the cell-binding domain of the Ad5 fiber knob with that from another adenovirus serotype 35 (Ad35); the resulting vector was designated MOA35. Here we evaluated the therapeutic efficacies of MOA5 and MOA35 for human osteosarcoma. Midkine mRNA expression and its promoter activity was significantly high in five human osteosarcoma cell lines, but was restricted in normal cells. Very low levels of adenovirus cellular receptor coxsackievirus/adenovirus receptor (CAR) (Ad5 receptor) expression were observed in MNNG-HOS and MG-63 cells, whereas high levels of CAR expression were seen in the other osteosarcoma cell lines. By contrast, CD46 (Ad35 receptor) was highly expressed in all osteosarcoma cell lines. Infectivity and in vitro cytocidal effect of MOA35 was significantly enhanced in MNNG-HOS and MG-63 cells compared with MOA5, although the cytocidal effects of MOA5 were sometimes higher in high CAR-expressing cell lines. In MG-63 xenograft models, MOA35 significantly enhanced antitumor effects compared with MOA5. Our findings indicate that MOA5 and MOA35 allow tailored virotherapy and facilitate more effective treatments for osteosarcoma.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It remains unclear whether glycemic fluctuation can affect plaque rupture in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Here we investigate the impact of glucose fluctuation on plaque rupture, as observed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and monocyte subsets in patients with AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied 37 consecutive patients with AMI. All patients underwent OCT examination, which revealed 24 patients with plaque rupture and 13 patients without plaque rupture at the culprit site. Peripheral blood sampling was performed on admission. Three monocyte subsets (CD14(+)CD16(-), CD14(bright)CD16(+), and CD14(dim)CD16(+)) were assessed by flow cytometry. Glycemic variability, expressed as the mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE), was determined by a continuous glucose monitoring system 7 days after the onset of AMI. MAGE was significantly higher in the rupture patients than in the non-rupture patients (P=0.036). Levels of CD14(bright)CD16(+) monocytes from the rupture patients were significantly higher than those from the non-rupture patients (P=0.042). Of interest, levels of CD14(bright)CD16(+) monocytes correlated positively and significantly with MAGE (r=0.39, P=0.02). CONCLUSION: Dynamic glucose fluctuation may be associated with coronary plaque rupture, possibly through the preferential increase in CD14(bright)CD16(+) monocyte levels.

OBJECTIVE: Povidone-Iodine preparation is used as a disinfectant in otological surgeries. The ototoxicity of Povidone-Iodine preparation was evaluated using infant, young and adult guinea pigs. The effects of different concentrations and of different exposure durations on compound action potentials were also studied. MATERIALS & METHODS: Povidone-Iodine was used to fill one middle ear cavity of the guinea pig, and the compound action potential (CAP) was measured from the round window membrane at 24h, 7 days, and 28 days. The contralateral side was filled with saline as control. Test sounds used were clicks and tone bursts of 2, 4, and 8 kHz. RESULTS: At 24h, Povidone-Iodine solution showed a significant toxic effect in the infant group. In the young animal group, no toxic effect was seen. In the adult group, a mild degree of deafness for 2 kHz was found. At 7 days, the young group showed significant hearing loss for all frequencies, but the adult group did not show any hearing loss. With a half strength solution, both young and adult group did not show hearing loss. At 28 days, with a full strength solution, hearing loss became prominent for all sound stimulation. With 1/8th dilution, the young group showed a moderate hearing loss, but the adult group did not. CONCLUSION: The thicker round window membrane in human is expected to provide more protection to the human cochlea than in the guinea pig model that we have studied. Mild hearing loss at 24h and 7 days using 10% solution, but no hearing loss with 5% solution at 7 days may indicate that rinsing of the middle ear cavity with saline during surgery should minimize the ototoxic effect of this product. The age of the animals does influence the outcome of the ototoxicity experiment. From this experiment, Povidone-Iodine preparations in the infant should be used with caution. Povidone scrub should not be used for otologic surgery.

A neutron survey meter with a ZnS(Ag) scintillator to measure recoil protons was built. The detection probe weighs ~2 kg, therefore providing us with true portability. Performance tests exhibited satisfactory neutron dosimetry characteristics in unmoderated or lightly moderated fission neutron fields and in particular work environments at a mixed oxide fuel facility. This new survey meter will augment a routine of neutron monitoring that is inconveniently being carried out by moderator-based neutron survey meters.

OBJECTIVES: Transactivation-responsive DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) was identified as a major component of the ubiquitin-positive inclusions in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, there has been no study of TDP-43 in ALS skin. The present study investigates TDP-43 in ALS skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We made a quantitative immunohistochemical study of the expression of TDP-43 in the skin from 15 patients with ALS and 15 control subjects. RESULTS: The proportion of TDP-43-positive (TDP-43+) cells in the epidermis in ALS patients was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than in controls. There was a significant positive relationship (r = 0.62, P < 0.02) between the proportion and duration of illness in ALS patients. The optical density of TDP-43+ cells in the epidermis in ALS patients is markedly stronger (P < 0.001) than in controls. There was a significant positive relation (r = 0.72, P < 0.01) between the immunoreactivity and duration of illness in ALS patients. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that changes of TDP-43 in ALS skin are likely to be related to the disease process and that metabolic alterations of TDP-43 may take place in the skin of patients with ALS.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of two ear drops, Ofloxacin (OFLX: Taribid Otic Solution, Daiichi Seiyaku) and Fosfomycin sodium (FOM: Fosmicin S, Meiji Seiyaku). METHODS: Albino guinea pigs were used as experimental animals, and the ototoxicity was evaluated by means of threshold changes in the compound action potentials (CAP), when topically applied to the middle ear cavity of the guinea pig. The sound stimuli applied were; click sound, with tone bursts of 8 kHz, 4 kHz, and 2 kHz. In one group of animals, after one application of the ear drops in the right middle ear cavity, the change in CAP was compared with a contralateral saline control at 24h, one week, and four weeks. In other group of animals, the ear drops were applied into the middle ear cavity for seven consecutive days and the CAP was measured at 24h. RESULTS: At 24h the CAP threshold for click, 8 and 4 kHz elevated significantly for both the saline and ear drop treatment, but the threshold returned to normal when measured at 7 days and 28 days. Seven consecutive days of ear drops administration resulted in no reduction in the CAP for either ear drops. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the lack of changes in the CAP, these two ear drops studied did not show any significant ototoxicities.

Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) has been considered a potential tumor-associated antigen for active-specific immunotherapy. However, effective specific tumor antigen-specific immunity has been difficult to induce consistently by various TERT vaccine formulations. New adjuvant strategies have been employed, such as utilizing chemokines to attract T cells and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokine adjuvant strategies may enhance tumor antigen-specific immunity induced by vaccines. Therefore, we utilized chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) as an adjuvant with a xenogeneic TERT DNA vaccine to induce tumor antigen-specific immunity against TERT-expressing breast cancer. The TERT DNA vaccine consisted of a plasmid containing the COOH terminal end of the TERT (cTERT) gene, encapsulated in multilayered liposomes with hemagglutinating virus of Japan coating. We demonstrated that CCL21 treatment before cTERT DNA vaccine, given intramuscularly, induced significantly higher anti-TERT specific cell-mediated immunity compared to cTERT DNA vaccine alone. Effective tumor antigen-specific immunity was shown both in prophylactic and therapeutic regimens against TS/A murine breast cancer. The study demonstrated that CCL21 administration before cTERT DNA vaccination significantly augmented tumor antigen-specific immunity against breast cancer.

A 59-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as Waldenström macroglobulinema. With impaired general performance and a 2-year history of pruritic eruptions that were initially confined to the forearms, but later involved the face, limbs, and trunk. A skin biopsy that was performed on the forehead showed infiltration with abnormal cells of the dermis around the central vessels. PCR analysis of the skin biopsy showed immunoglobulin heavy chain rearrangement. As the rearrangement band occurred at the same site as that of the bone marrow aspiration, skin infiltration with abnormal cells was proven.

The RIKEN RI (radioactive isotope) Beam Factory is scheduled to commence operations in 2006, and its maximum energy will be 400 MeV u(-1) for ions lighter than Ar and 350 MeV u(-1) for uranium. The beam intensity will be 1 pmicroA (6 x 10(12) particles s(-1)) for any element at the goal. For the hands-on-maintenance and the rational shield thickness of the building, the beam loss must be controlled with several kinds of monitors. Three types of radiation monitors will be installed. The first one consists of a neutron dose equivalent monitor and an ionisation chamber, which are commercially available area monitors. The second one is a conventional hand-held dose equivalent monitor wherein the logarithmic signal is read by a programmable logic controller based on the radiation safety interlock system (HIS). The third one is a simple plastic scintillator called a beam loss monitor. All the monitors have threshold levels for alarm and beam stop, and HIS reads all these signals.

Invasive aspergillosis is an important factor in the morbidity and mortality of patients suffering from hematologic disorders treated with chemotherapy. Treatment with amphotericin B is often limited because of toxicity, particularly nephrotoxicity. We describe a case of invasive pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection in acute myeloid leukemia with renal failure due to amphotericin B therapy, which responded to treatment with a new antifungal agent, micafungin. Micafungin appears to be an effective and safe therapy for Aspergillus infections with renal failure due to amphotericin B.

A single intravenous injection with 4 x 10(7) PFU of recombinant adenovirus encoding mouse beta-galactosidase cDNA to newborn mice provided widespread increases of beta-galactosidase activity, and attenuated the development of the disease including the brain at least for 60 days. The beta-galactosidase activity showed 2-4 times as high a normal activity in the liver and lung, and 50 times in the heart. In the brain, while the activity was only 10-20% of normal, the efficacy of the treatment was distinct. At the 30th day after the injection, significant attenuation of ganglioside GM1 accumulation in the cerebrum was shown in three out of seven mice. At the 60th day after the injection, the amount of ganglioside GM1 was above the normal range in all treated mice, which was speculated to be the result of reaccumulation. However, the values were still definitely lower in most of the treated mice than those in untreated mice. In the histopathological study, X-gal-positive cells, which showed the expression of exogenous beta-galactosidase gene, were observed in the brain. It is noteworthy that neonatal administration via blood vessels provided access to the central nervous system because of the incompletely formed blood-brain barrier.

Two members of the proteasome activator, PA28alpha and PA28beta, form a heteropolymer that binds to both ends of the 20S proteasome. Evidence in vitro indicates that this interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-inducible heteropolymer is involved in the processing of intracellular antigens, but its functions in vivo remain elusive. To investigate the role of PA28alpha/beta in vivo, we generated mice deficient in both PA28alpha and PA28beta genes. The ATP-dependent proteolytic activities were decreased in PA28alpha(-/-)/beta(-/-) cells, suggesting that 'hybrid proteasomes' are involved in protein degradation. Treatment of PA28alpha(-/-)/beta(-/-) cells with IFN-gamma resulted in sufficient induction of the 'immunoproteasome'. Moreover, splenocytes from PA28alpha(-/-)/beta(-/-) mice displayed no apparent defects in processing of ovalbumin. These results are in marked contrast to the previous finding that immunoproteasome assembly and immune responses were impaired in PA28beta(-/-) mice. PA28alpha(-/-)/beta(-/-) mice also showed apparently normal immune responses against infection with influenza A virus. However, they almost completely lost the ability to process a melanoma antigen TRP2-derived peptide. Hence, PA28alpha/beta is not a prerequisite for antigen presentation in general, but plays an essential role for the processing of certain antigens.

BACKGROUND: According to the international classification of epilepsy syndromes, West syndrome (WS) is a form of generalized epilepsy. However, it is known that localized lesions can induce WS and that patients with WS often subsequently develop focal seizures. We evaluated such patients using magnetoencephalography (MEG). METHOD: Fourteen patients of 3 months to 6 years of age who had or who had previously had WS were examined. MEGs were recorded using a laying-type whole-cortex MEG system with a 160-channel first-order gradiometer. Twelve-channel electroencephalography (EEG) and one-channel electrocardiography (ECG) were simultaneously recorded. Equivalent current dipoles were estimated at the point of spikes on the EEG. RESULTS: Patients were classified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings into a focal lesion group (group F, n=7) and a non-focal lesion group (group N, n=7). The dipoles estimated from the MEG were classified into three groups: W, with the dipoles distributed over a wide brain area (n=7); WC, dipoles distributed over a wide area along with a dense dipole distribution in a specific cortical area (n=3); and C, closed dipole distribution in a unilateral cerebral focal area (n=4). Patients were also classified by the stage of the disease during which the MEG was recorded, and by the type of seizure they experienced. Those with hypsarrhythmia examined early in the disease all had pattern W regardless of their lesion group, whereas those examined later exhibited more diverse dipole patterns that corresponded to seizure type. CONCLUSIONS: Dipoles were distributed widely over bilateral cerebral cortex when patients had infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia whether or not they had focal lesions. The dipole distribution pattern in MEG changed according to changes in seizure type.

The present study was designed to assess changes in the teratogenic potency of di-n-butyltin diacetate (DBTA) with increasing maternal age in rats. Pregnant Wistar rats of 3, 7.5 or 12 months were treated orally with DBTA at 0, 7.5, 10, 15 or 22 mg/kg on day 8 of gestation. Cesarean sections were performed on day 20 of gestation. Maternal age had greater impact on litter size in the 7.5- and 12-month dams than the 3-month dams. The death of most of the fetuses of the 12-month dams made it difficult to evaluate the teratogenic potency of DBTA. In 3-month groups, fetuses with external malformation, such as cleft mandible, cleft lower lip, ankyloglossia and/or schistoglossia, which are malformations typical of DBTA, were observed at 15 and 22 mg/kg, while similar malformations were observed in 7.5-month groups at doses of 10 mg/kg and above. At 15 and 22 mg/kg, the incidences of these malformations in 7.5-month groups were similar to these from 3-month groups. In our previous studies, however, single DBTA-treatment at 10 mg/kg on day 8 of gestation has not produced such malformations from 3-month dams. The results suggest that the teratogenic potency of DBTA in 7.5-month dams may be greater than in 3-month dams.

Immunization with gp96 and heat shock cognate protein 70 (hsc70) purified with in vivo bound naturally occurring peptides or bound to synthetic peptides by in vitro reconstitution has been shown to induce peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In addition, mycobacterial heat shock protein 70 covalently fused to ovalbumin (OVA)-derived fragments has been shown to generate MHC class I-restricted CTL responses. Here, we genetically fused five different CTL epitopes, including peptides derived from Plasmodium yoelii circumsporozoite protein, tumor antigens, HY antigen and OVA, to either the N- or C-terminus of murine hsc70 and expressed the resulting proteins in Escherichia coli. Vaccination with all five fusion proteins induced peptide-specific CTL, indicating that no cognate flanking regions of CTL epitopes are necessary for the immune response. The point of injection was crucial for CTL induction. CD4(+) T cells were not required for the priming of CD8(+) T cells and vaccination with bone marrow-derived dendritic cells pulsed with hsc70 fusion proteins also elicited CTL responses. Furthermore, by using deletion mutants of hsc70, we identified amino acid residues 280-385 of hsc70 as the region most critical for inducing the CTL response.
