Role of ras oncogene in adriamycin resistance in human prostate tumor cells

We have previously isolated a drug-resistant, [PC3(R)], variant of human prostate PC3 cell line, which showed significant resistance (>10-fold) to adriamycin. No known mechanisms of drug resistance were found; however, resistant cells expressed more bcl2, c-myc, and ms oncogenes compared to the sensitive cells. In this study, we found that buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of gamma-glutamyl-cysteine synthetase, decreased glutathione levels by 80-90% in both cell lines. BSO treatment down-modulated Ras protein only in PC3(R) cells and caused a 4-fold sensitization of PC3(R) cells to adriamycin without affecting PC3(W) cells. Farnesol treatment also inhibited expression of Ras protein and concomitantly reversed adriamycin resistance in PC3(R) cells, indicating that altered levels of ras expression plays an important role in drug resistance in PC3(R) cells.     

Traumatic cervical distraction complicated by delayed reduction due to traumatic vertebral artery pseudo-aneurysm

A 23-year-old male involved in a high-speed collision acquired, among other injuries, a wide fracture distraction at C2/C3. Reduction was delayed by an enlarging vertebral artery pseudo-aneurysm at the site of injury which was successfully treated by proximal endovascular occlusion with a detachable polymer-filled balloon. A traumatic arachnoid cyst or pseudomeningocele was also demonstrated at the injury site but intervention was not required. The treatment and outcome of these three uncommon injuries in the literature is reviewed and discussed. Given the severity of the injury, the absence of severe long-term neurological disability is notable.     

Differential modulation by baclofen on antinociception induced by morphine and beta-endorphin administered intracerebroventricularly in the formalin test

Our previous studies have demonstrated that supraspinal GABAergic receptors are differentially involved in the antinociception induced by morphine and beta-endorphin given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) in the tail-flick and hot-plate tests. These two models employed a phasic, thermal nociceptive stimulus. The present study was designed to examine the possible involvement of supraspinal GABAergic receptors in opioid-induced antinociception in the formalin test. Morphine (1 microg) and beta-endorphin (1 microg) given i.c.v. displayed the almost complete inhibitory effects against the hyperalgesic response in both phases. Muscimol (75-100 ng) and baclofen (5-10 ng) injected i.c.v. produced the hypoalgesic response in the both phases. The hypoalgesic response induced by muscimol and baclofen observed during the second phase was more pronounced than that observed during the second phase. Baclofen (2.5 ng), at the dose which did not affect the hyperalgesic response, resulted in a significant reversal of the i.c.v. administered beta-endorphin-induced hypoalgesic response observed during the second, but not the first, phase. However, the hypoalgesic response induced by i.c.v. administered morphine was not changed by the same dose of muscimol or baclofen injected i.c.v. Our results indicate that, at the supraspinal level, GABA(B)receptors appear to be involved in the modulation of antinociception induced by supraspinally administered beta-endorphin, but not morphine, in the formalin test model.     

No association between an intronic presenilin-1 gene polymorphism and schizophrenia in a Chinese population

We investigated the association between schizophrenic psychosis and an intronic polymorphism of the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene in a Chinese population. Schizophrenic and control groups had similar PS1 genotype distributions and allele frequencies, indicating that this polymorphism may not be involved in the development of schizophrenia.
