Persistent bone marrow failure with dysplastic features following pentostatin therapy for hairy cell leukaemia

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have rarely been reported after treatment with nucleoside analogues, and mainly in patients who have also received alkylating agents. We report a patient who developed MDS (refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts) after treatment with pentostatin (deoxycoformycin) alone.

Functional aspects of serotonin transmission in the basal ganglia: a review and an in vivo approach using the push-pull cannula technique

Peripheral deafferentation of the rodent olfactory bulb results in loss of dopamine content, tyrosine hydroxylase activity and immunocytochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase in juxtaglomerular dopamine neurons. Reinnervation of the bulb by afferent neurons results in the return of all parameters to control levels suggesting that the dopamine neurons did not degenerate but that the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme was transneuronally regulated in a static population of juxtaglomerular cells. To evaluate this possibility, we determined the activity and immunocytochemical localization of the second enzyme in the dopamine biosynthetic pathway, DOPA decar?ylase. At a time when tyrosine hydroxylase activity was reduced to 25% of control values, DOPA decar?ylase activity in the lesioned bulb was maintained at about 65% of that in the unlesioned bulb. Immunocytochemical staining with antibodies to both enzymes, performed sequentially in the same sections, demonstrated that in the unlesioned bulb tyrosine hydroxylase and DOPA decar?ylase are co-localized in the same population of juxtaglomerular neurons. Similar results were obtained in adjacent sections each stained with one of the two antibodies. In contrast, in the deafferented bulb, about three times as many neurons were stained with DOPA decar?ylase as with tyrosine hydroxylase antibodies. The DOPA decar?ylase activity measurements and immunocytochemistry argue for the continued presence, in the lesioned olfactory bulb, of a population of tyrosine hydroxylase deficient dopamine neurons.The data suggest that olfactory receptor cell innervation transneuronally regulates the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase by mechanisms separate from those controlling the levels of DOPA decar?ylase.     

Role of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders

Intraneuronal inclusions containing ubiquitylated filamentous protein aggregates are a common feature of many of the major human neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Loss of function mutations in enzymes of the ubiquitin conjugation/deconjugation pathway are sufficient to cause familial forms of neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting that failure of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis could also be central to inclusion formation in the more common sporadic cases. Examination of ubiquitin-positive inclusions at the protein level provides evidence of attempted proteasomal proteolysis, however close inspection of the temporal aspects of inclusion formation indicates that ubiquitylation is probably a late event. In this regard, the presence of ubiquitin within inclusions of idiopathic neurodegenerative disorders may indicate not a primary dysfunction of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, but rather a secondary, presumably protective cellular response. Within this model, other factors are likely to be initiating in inclusion biogenesis. Consistent with these proposals, non-ubiquitylated forms of the principal ubiquitylated components of Alzheimer's disease neurofibrillary tangles and Parkinson's disease Lewy bodies, tau and alpha-synuclein proteins, respectively, can be degraded by proteasomes in a pathway which does not have an absolute requirement for ubiquitylation. Inhibition of proteasome function in the pathological state, as has been reported in both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, could therefore contribute both to accumulation of non-ubiquitylated forms of aggregation-prone neuronal proteins, as well as impaired clearance of ubiquitylated aggregates.     

Psychopathy and Physiological Activity In a Mixed-Motive Game Situation

Heart rate (HR) and skin conductance (SC) were recorded while 17 psychopathic (P) and 17 nonpsychopathic (NP) inmates (referred to as A) were engaged in a mixed-motive game situation with another S (referred to as B). On each trial A had to choose the intensity of shock to be delivered to himself and to B. B then was given a chance to retaliate, although his choices were actually overridden by the experimenter. A 10 sec tone (CS) preceded delivery of shock to each S. There were no differences between Groups P and NP in the intensity of shock chosen for themselves and for the other (B) Ss. Compared with Group NP, Group P gave small unconditioned skin conductance (SC) responses to shock directly received and to shocks delivered to the other S. There were no differences between groups in the unconditioned HR response to either direct shock (acceleration) or to shocks delivered to the other S (slight deceleration). Group P gave small electrodermal orienting responses (ORs) and anticipatory responses (ARs) to the CS preceding shock to self and shock to other; Group NP gave relatively large ORs and ARs to the CS preceding shock to self, and small ones prior to shock to other. Both Groups gave a biphasic conditioned HR response–acceleration followed by deceleration; each component was larger in Group P than in Group NP, and the acceleratory component in Group P appeared on the first trial. The electrodermal data were consistent with the view that psychopaths experience little fear arousal prior to reception of aversive stimuli by themselves or by others. It was suggested that the anticipatory HR responses of the psychopathic Ss were part of an adaptive response that helped them to cope with stress.     

Murine interleukin 5 receptor isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography: comparison of determined N-terminal sequence and deduced primary sequence from cDNA and implication of a role of the intracytoplasmic domain

The murine interleukin 5 receptor (IL-5R) was identified by utilizing an immobilized IL-5 and an immobilized monoclonal antibody against the murein IL-5R (designated H7 mAb). The H7 mAb immunoaffinity-purified materials from the extract of cell-surface radioiodinated T88-M cells (an IL-5-dependent early B cell line) using 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) were reacted with an immobilized IL-5 matrix. SDS-PAGE of the adsorbed fraction revealed a single band at approximately 60 kDa. The binding of the 60 kDa protein to the immobilized IL-5 matrix was inhibited by the excess IL-5. The CHAPS-extract depleted of the 60 kDa protein by the absorption with H7 mAb did not contain any IL-5 binding proteins. Immunoaffinity procedure provided a final 7400-fold purification, based on an estimation of the content of the 60 kDa protein (approximate purity: 20%) from the silver-stained pattern of SDS-PAGE. Actin was copurified with the 60 kDa protein at an approximate ratio of 1:1, suggesting that the intracytoplasmic domain of the IL-5R may interact with actin. Furthermore, soluble IL-5R (molecular mass: 50 kDa) was purified by the H7 mAb-immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified soluble IL-5R was capable of inhibiting the binding of IL-5 to T88-M cells. Preparative SDS-PAGE followed by electroblotting onto a membrane permitted the determination of the N-terminal sequence of the IL-5R. The determined N-terminal sequence of the IL-5R and the deduced primary sequence from recently isolated cDNA were compared.     

凋亡抑制蛋白XIAP和促凋亡因子Smac在胰腺癌化疗抵抗中的作用

目的探讨x-相关凋亡抑制蛋白（XIAP）和促凋亡因子Smac在胰腺癌细胞化疗抵抗中的作用，以及转染胞浆表达型Smac基因靶向下凋XIAP对化疗药物诱导的胰腺癌细胞凋亡的影响。方法应用流式细胞术检测顺铂、5-FU介导的Panc-1、BXPC-3的凋亡率及胞浆染色分析细胞XIAP表达变化，Western blot分析XIAP、Smac、Caspase-3表达水平；构建pEGFP-NI／Smac真核表达载体并转染胰腺癌Panc-1细胞，流式细胞术检测转染Smac基因前后Panc-1细胞的凋亡敏感性。结果与BXPC-3细胞相比，Panc-1对顺铂或5-FU介导的凋亡具有较强抵抗性，Western blot分析显示Panc-1细胞高表达XIAP，在化疗药物作用下化疗敏感细胞BXPC-3胞浆内XIAP水平下降明显多于Panc-1细胞，而且凋亡的BXPC-3细胞释放入胞浆内的成熟Smac蛋白水平明显高于Panc-1细胞。转染胞浆表达型Smac基因至化疗抵抗Panc-1细胞，可明显下调其XIAP表达水平，促进效应Caspase-3分子活化，显著提高顺铂、5-FU诱导的细胞凋亡率。结论胰腺癌细胞XIAP的表达水平下调与其化疗敏感性有关，XIAP是克服化疗抵抗的重要靶分子，而上调Smac活性蛋白的胞浆表达作为一种有效调节信号，通过拮抗XIAP的凋亡抑制作用协同化疗药物促进胰腺癌细胞凋亡。
