Preparation and characterization of porous beta-tricalcium phosphate/collagen composites with an integrated structure

Porous beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP)/collagen composites with different beta-TCP/collagen weight ratio were prepared. The influences of the preparation conditions on the microstructure of porous composite and the joint status of beta-TCP particles with collagen fibrils were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed: (1) an acid treatment could effectively disassemble collagen fibrils; (2) in the resulting porous composites, beta-TCP particles homogenously existed on the skeleton of the collagen fibril network and bonded tightly to both the fibrils and themselves. The tight bonding formation could be due to the reaction between Ca ions in the particles and carboxyl groups in collagen polypeptide chains and due to the reprecipitation of partially dissolved beta-TCP during synthesis. The tight bonding between beta-TCP particles and collagen fibrils in the composites demonstrated an integrated structure, which was reproducible when beta-TCP/collagen ratio ranged from 2 to 4. Such integrated structure would make significant contributions in reliably tailoring properties of the porous composites by varying beta-TCP content. In addition, the porous composites had large porosity (approximately 95%) and appropriate pore size (approximately 100 microm), showed no negative impact in cytotoxicity assay and complete bone tissue regeneration after 12 weeks in animal test.     

Survey of the Distribution of a Newly Characterized Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products in Tissues

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the final products of nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation of proteins, are found in the plasma and accumulate in the tissues during aging and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. A novel integral membrane protein, termed receptor for AGE (RAGE), forms a central part of the cell surface binding site for AGEs. Using monospecific, polyclonal antibody raised to human recombinant and bovine RAGE, immunostaining of bovine tissues showed RAGE in the vasculature, endothelium, and smooth muscle cells and in mononuclear cells in the tissues. Consistent with these data, RAGE antigen and mRNA were identified in cultured bovine endothelium, vascular smooth muscle, and monocyte-derived macrophages. RAGE antigen was also visualized in bovine cardiac myocytes as well as in cultures of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and in neural tissue where motor neurons, peripheral nerves, and a population of cortical neurons were positive. In situ hybridization confirmed the presence of RAGE mRNA in the tissues, and studies with rat PC12 pheochromocytes indicated that they provide a neuronal-related cell culture model for examining RAGE expression. Pathological studies of human atherosclerotic plaques showed infiltration of RAGE-expressing cells in the expanded intima. These results indicate that RAGE is present in multiple tissues and suggest the potential relevance of AGE-RAGE interactions for modulating properties of the vasculature as well as neural and cardiac function, prominent areas of involvement in diabetes and in the normal aging process.     

Early embryonic expression patterns of the mouse Flamingo and Prickle orthologues.

The Drosophila melanogaster proteins Flamingo and Prickle act in the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway, which is required for acquisition of epithelial polarity in the wing, eye, and epidermis. In mammals, PCP signaling has been shown to regulate cell movements and polarity in a variety of tissues. Here, we show that the murine Flamingo orthologues Celsr1-3 and the Prickle orthologues Prickle1, Prickle2, and Testin have dynamic patterns of expression during pregastrulation and gastrulation stages. Celsr1 is expressed in the anterior visceral endoderm and nascent mesoderm, Celsr2 and Celsr3 mark the prospective neuroectoderm, Prickle1 is expressed in the primitive streak and mesoderm, Prickle2 in the node, and Testin in the anterior visceral endoderm, the extraembryonic ectoderm, primitive streak, and mesoderm. Analysis of a gene-trap mutation in Testin indicates that this gene is not required for embryogenesis; therefore, other Prickle homologues may compensate for its function during development.     

Replication error phenotype and p53 gene mutation in lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue.

Low grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas commonly arise from a background of chronic inflammatory lesions and can transform into high grade tumors at a late stage. Because chronic inflammation is closely associated with genetic instability, which is one of the mechanisms leading to activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, it is possible that genetic instability plays an important role in MALT lymphomagenesis. In this study, we have examined the frequency of replication error (RER+) phenotype, a newly defined manifestation of genetic instability, and its relationship to p53 mutations in 40 MALT lymphomas (16 high grade and 24 low grade). RER+ phenotype was detected in 21/40 (52.5%) MALT lymphomas (12/24, 50% in low grade; 9/16, 56.2% in high grade). Five of seven reactive lymphoid infiltrates adjacent to tumors also showed one microsatellite alteration, four of which were identified in the corresponding lymphoma lesions in the same patient. In five RER+ high grade lymphomas with low grade lesions, homogeneous and heterogeneous microsatellite alterations were observed between the two components. The same 40 cases were investigated for p53 gene mutations at exons 5 to 8 by PCR-SSCP and direct sequencing. p53 point mutations were found in 11 (27.5%) of the 40 cases. These mutations were statistically related to RER+ phenotype (P < 0.05). Our results demonstrate that the RER+ phenotype is a common genetic feature of MALT lymphomas. Genetic instability occurs throughout the spectrum of the lymphoma development and may be related to the accumulation of genetic aberrations such as p53 mutations. The observation of identical microsatellite alterations between the adjacent lymphoid infiltrates and their corresponding lymphomas provides genetic evidence for evolutionary link of the two lesions. The homogeneous and heterogeneous microsatellite alterations observed between low and high grade components indicate their clonal lineage and genetic diversity.     

Alpha-smooth muscle actin as a marker for soft tissue tumours: a comparison with desmin

The immunoreactivity of a range of vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle tumours, rhabdomyosarcomas, and non-myoid lesions has been examined with the use of a monoclonal antibody to smooth muscle-specific actin and the muscle intermediate filament, desmin. In all cases of smooth muscle-derived tumours, the alpha-actin antibody yielded superior results. Staining of the myofibroblasts of fibromatoses was also seen. In contrast to desmin, immunoreactivity was not exhibited by rhabdomyosarcomas. We propose that this monoclonal antibody to alpha-smooth muscle actin is a useful addition to the panel of reagents used for the characterization of soft tissue proliferations and tumours. The technical aspects of the application of this monoclonal antibody to immunohistochemistry are discussed.
