Abstract
P-selectin, a cell adhesion protein participating in the early stages of inflammation, contains multiple sorting signals that regulate its cell surface expression. Targeting to secretory granules regulates delivery of P-selectin to the cell surface. Internalization followed by sorting from early to late endosomes mediates rapid removal of P-selectin from the surface. We show here that the P-selectin cytoplasmic domain bound AP-2 and AP-3 adaptor complexes in vitro. The amino acid substitution L768A, which abolishes endosomal sorting and impairs granule targeting of P-selectin, reduced binding of AP-3 adaptors but not AP-2 adaptors. Turnover of P-selectin was 2.4-fold faster than turnover of transferrin receptor in AP-3-deficient mocha fibroblasts, similar to turnover of these two proteins in AP-3-competent cells, demonstrating that AP-3 function is not required for endosomal sorting. However, sorting P-selectin to secretory granules was defective in endothelial cells from AP-3-deficient pearl mice, demonstrating a role for AP-3 adaptors in granule assembly in endothelial cells. P-selectin sorting to platelet alpha-granules was normal in pearl mice, consistent with earlier evidence that granule targeting of P-selectin is mechanistically distinct in endothelial cells and platelets. These observations establish that AP-3 adaptor functions in assembly of conventional secretory granules, in addition to lysosomes and the 'lysosome-like' secretory granules of platelets and melanocytes.

Abstract
The use of transgenic animals, such as v-Ha-ras activated (TG:AC) and p53+/- mice, offers great promise for a rapid and more sensitive assay for chemical carcinogenicity. Some carcinogens are metabolically activated; therefore, it is critical that the altered genome of either of these model systems does not compromise their capability and capacity for metabolism of xenobiotics. The present work tests the generally held assumption that xenobiotic metabolism in the TG:AC and p53+/- mouse is not inherently different from that of the respective wild type, the FVB/N and C57BL/6 mouse, by comparing each genotype's ability to metabolize benzene, ethoxyquin, or methacrylonitrile. Use of these representative substrates offers the opportunity to examine arene oxide formation, aromatic ring opening, hydroxylation, epoxidation, O-deethylation, and a number of conjugation reactions. Mice were treated by gavage with (14)C-labeled parent compound, excreta were collected, and elimination routes and rates, as well as (14)C-derived metabolite profiles in urine, were compared between relevant treatment groups. Results of this study indicated that metabolism of the 3 parent compounds was not appreciably altered between either FVB/N and TG:AC mice or C57BL/6 and p53+/- mice. Further, expression of CYP1A2, CYP2E1, CYP3A, and GST-alpha in liver of naive genetically altered mice was similar to that of corresponding wild-type mice. Thus, these results suggest that the inherent ability of TG:AC and p53+/- mice to metabolize xenobiotics is not compromised by their altered genomes and would not be a factor in data interpretation of toxicity studies using either transgenic mouse line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND alpha(v)beta(3)-Integrin receptors are upregulated in atherosclerotic arteries and play a key role in smooth muscle cell and possibly inflammatory cell migration. We hypothesized that after balloon angioplasty (BA) of atherosclerotic arteries, selective inhibition of the alpha(v)beta(3)-receptor by XT199, a small-molecule, non-peptide-selective alpha(v)beta(3)-receptor antagonist, would reduce restenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS After induction of focal atherosclerosis, rabbits underwent femoral BA and received XT199 (2.5 mg/kg IV bolus plus 2.5 mg. kg(-1). d(-1) IV; n=19) or vehicle (n=20) for 14 days. At 28 days after BA, the XT199 group had a larger lumen (0.75+/-0.26 versus 0.57+/-0.20 mm(2), P=0.03) and a smaller neointimal area (0.49+/-0.18 versus 0.68+/-0.25 mm(2), P=0.01) than the vehicle group. Angiographic analysis confirmed a 30% to 40% reduction in restenosis. Arteries harvested at 28 days after BA did not show a reduction in intima plus media smooth muscle cell content but did show a 50% reduction in macrophage cell density in the XT199 group (716+/-452 versus 1458+/-989 cells/mm(2), P<0.006). Neovessel density at 28 days was also reduced (23+/-42 versus 58+/-46 vessel cross sections/mm(2), P<0.02). Early after BA (ie, 3 to 7 days), there was a decrease in intracellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, indicative of a reduction in vascular cell activation. CONCLUSIONS Selective alpha(v)beta(3)-receptor blockade for 14 days after BA in the focally atherosclerotic rabbit significantly reduced restenosis and limited macrophage infiltration and neovascularization in the vessel wall.

Abstract
On the basis of previous SAR findings and molecular modeling studies, a series of compounds were synthesized which possessed various sulfonyl moieties substituted at the 4-position of the C-3 phenyl ring substituent of the dihydropyran-2-one ring system. The sulfonyl substituents were added in an attempt to fill the additional S(3)' pocket and thereby produce increasingly potent inhibitors of the target enzyme. Racemic and enantiomerically resolved varieties of selected compounds were synthesized. All analogues in the study displayed decent binding affinity to HIV protease, and several compounds were shown to possess very good antiviral efficacy and safety margins. X-ray crystallographic structures confirmed that the sulfonamide and sulfonate moieties were filling the S(3)' pocket of the enzyme. However, the additional substituent did not provide improved enzymatic inhibitory or antiviral activity as compared to the resolved unsubstituted aniline. The addition of the sulfonyl moiety substitution does not appear to provide favorable pharamacokinectic parameters. Selected inhibitors were tested for antiviral activity in clinical isolates and exhibited similar antiviral activity against all of the HIV-1 strains tested as they did against the wild-type HIV-1. In addition, the inhibitors exhibited good antiviral efficacies against HIV-1 strains that displayed resistance to the currently marketed protease inhibitors.

Abstract
1. The metabolism and disposition of Luminol (LMN, 3-aminophthalhydrazide), a widely used forensic and laboratory reagent that chemiluminesses upon oxidation, was determined as part of its overall toxicological characterization. 2. Radiolabelled LMN was well absorbed, metabolized and excreted following p.o. administration of a range of doses. About 90% of the total dose was recovered within 24 h of administration in urine in the form of two metabolites identified as LMN N8-glucuronide and LMN N8-sulphamic acid. 3-Aminophthalic acid, the oxidative product of LMN in the light-emitting reaction, was apparently not formed in vivo. 3. Metabolism and disposition of an i.v. administered dose was similar to that following gavage. Little or no LMN-derived radioactivity was present in tissue within 12 h post-dosing. Excretion of radioactivity in bile following i.v. injection was minimal (approximately 8% of the total dose in 6 h) and consisted of the same urinary-excreted glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. 4. LMN was not absorbed dermally in rat, potentially a major route of exposure to human. If the fate of LMN is similar between species, this compound should have little potential for either dermal absorption, bioaccumulation in tissues following other routes of exposure or chronic toxicity in humans.

Abstract
All-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) has potent in vitro effects on a number of processes involved in vascular injury and repair, such as modulating smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and inducing SMC differentiation, and may play an important role in the in vivo response to vascular injury. We hypothesized that atRA would limit restenosis after balloon angioplasty through SMC-modulated changes in plaque size and vessel geometry. Balloon angioplasty was performed on rabbits with focal femoral atherosclerosis randomized to treatment with atRA or saline. At 28 days after balloon angioplasty, minimal luminal diameter was significantly larger in the atRA group (1.24+/-0.17 versus 1.12+/-0.22 mm, P=0.02). Histomorphometry confirmed a larger lumen area (0.51+/-0.20 versus 0. 34+/-0.13 mm(2), P=0.004) in the atRA group, with no difference in absolute plaque area. Internal elastic lamina and external elastic lamina areas were significantly larger in the atRA group (0.89+/-0. 27 versus 0.66+/-0.24 mm(2), P=0.001, and 1.29+/-0.38 versus 0. 98+/-0.32 mm(2), P=0.001, respectively). Vessel sections exhibited significantly more alpha-actin and desmin immunostaining (P=0.01) in the atRA-treated group. No differences in early cellular proliferation and collagen content were detected with the use of bromodeoxyuridine. In this atherosclerotic model of vascular injury, atRA limits restenosis after balloon angioplasty by effects secondary to overall vessel segment enlargement at the angioplasty site rather than by effects on plaque size or cellular proliferation. Increased alpha-actin and desmin immunostaining suggest a possible role for phenotypic modulation of SMCs in this favorable remodeling effect.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrate increased cellular adhesion molecule expression by neointimal endothelium overlying primary and restenotic atherosclerotic plaque. In this study, we developed an atherosclerotic mouse model of arterial injury and characterized adhesion molecule expression after injury. Sixteen apolipoprotein-E-(ApoE)-deficient mice fed a Western-type diet for 4 weeks underwent carotid artery wire denudation at week 2. For each segment, the extent of neointima formation and medial thickening, or adhesion molecule expression, were scored separately on a scale from 0 (no plaque/thickening or expression) to 3 (extensive plaque/thickening or expression) using Movat staining (n = 3) or immunohistochemical analysis (n = 13). Histology revealed significant medial thickening (1.8 +/- 0.9 vs. 0.3 +/- 0.5, p < 0. 001) versus controls and pronounced staining for monocytes/macrophages in the wall of injured vessels. Immunohistochemical analysis showed more robust expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on the luminal surface of injured arteries versus controls (2.2 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.4 +/- 0.7, p < 0.01, and 2.5 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.2 +/- 0.6, p < 0.001, respectively). Injury increased adventitial ICAM-1 expression (2.6 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.6 +/- 0.5, p < 0.002) and medial VCAM-1 expression (2.2 +/- 0.6 vs. 1.2 +/- 0. 7, p < 0.004). Thus, carotid injury results in significant medial thickening and increases adhesion molecule expression beyond that induced in ApoE-deficient mice fed a Western diet alone. The observation of macrophage infiltration into the media at sites of increased ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression suggests that these molecules may mediate monocyte/macrophage trafficking into the wall of injured arteries.

Abstract
The role of leukocyte adhesion molecules in endotoxin-induced organ injury was evaluated by administering intraperitoneal Salmonella enteritidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to wild-type (WT) mice, P-selectin-deficient mice, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1-deficient mice, and P-selectin-ICAM-1 double-mutant mice. In WT mice, there was a sevenfold increase in the number of neutrophils present in the pulmonary vascular lavage fluid, and there were sevenfold more intracapillary neutrophils by electron-microscopic (EM) morphometry at 4 h after intraperitoneal LPS compared with that in control mice. Extravascular albumin accumulation increased approximately twofold in the lungs and liver of WT mice treated with LPS. In the double-mutant mice, although overall mortality after intraperitoneal LPS was not attenuated, there was a significant delay in mortality in the P-selectin-ICAM-1-deficient mutants compared with that in WT mice after intraperitoneal LPS (P < 0.01). Moreover, compared with LPS-treated WT mice, lung and liver extravascular albumin accumulation was significantly lower in LPS-treated P-selectin-ICAM-1 double-mutant mice. Lung myeloperoxidase activity, normalized per 1,000 circulating neutrophils, increased after endotoxin in WT and P-selectin-deficient mice but not in P-selectin-ICAM-1 double-mutant mice. In addition, lung and liver myeloperoxidase activity per 1,000 circulating neutrophils in endotoxin-treated ICAM-1-deficient mice and P-selectin-ICAM-1 double mutants was significantly lower compared with that in endotoxin-treated WT mice. These data suggest that P-selectin and ICAM-1 significantly contribute to lung and liver injury after systemic endotoxemia.

Abstract
Methacrylonitrile (MAN) is a widely used aliphatic nitrile and is structurally similar to the known rat carcinogen and suspected human carcinogen acrylonitrile (AN). There is evidence that AN is metabolized via the cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2E1. Recently, we identified two biliary conjugates originating from the interaction of MAN and its epoxide with glutathione. Mercapturic acids formed via the degradation of the two conjugates were also identified in rat and mouse urine. Additionally, a significant portion of MAN was eliminated in the expired air as CO2 (formed via the epoxide pathway) and unchanged MAN. The objective of the present work was to determine whether CYP2E1 is involved in the oxidative metabolism of MAN as was suggested for AN. 2-14C-MAN was administered to CYP2E1-null or wild-type mice by gavage at 12 mg/kg. Although total urinary and fecal excretion of MAN-derived radioactivity was slightly different in CYP2E1-null versus wild-type mice, the ratio of mercapturic acids originating from the epoxide-glutathione versus MAN-glutathione conjugates were lower in urine of CYP2E1-null mice than in that of wild-type animals. Exhalation of MAN-derived organic volatiles (primarily parent MAN) was 12- and 42-fold greater in female and male CYP2E1-null mice than in wild-type mice, respectively. Additionally, exhalation of CO2 derived from metabolism of MAN via the CYP2E1 pathway was 3- to 5-fold greater in wild-type than in CYP2E1-null animals. Although these data indicate that CYP2E1 is the principal enzyme responsible for the oxidative metabolism of MAN, other cytochrome P-450 enzymes may be involved. Assessment of MAN metabolism in CYP2E1-null mice pretreated with 1-aminobenzotriazole (CYP inhibitor) resulted in a further decrease in oxidative metabolites of MAN. Comparison of the tissue concentrations of MAN-derived radioactivity in mouse tissues revealed that MAN-derived radioactivity is generally higher in wild-type > CYP2E1-null mice > CYP2E1-null mice pretreated with 1-aminobenzotriazole, suggesting a direct relationship between MAN oxidative metabolism and the half-life of MAN and/or its metabolites in various tissues. It is therefore concluded that MAN oxidative metabolites such as the epoxide intermediate have greater reactivity than parent MAN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombus is important in the pathophysiology of several complications of angioplasty, including abrupt closure and restenosis. Levels of prothrombin fragment F1.2 and fibrinopeptide A reflect thrombin generation and activity. The effect of angioplasty on levels of these markers is unclear. METHODS Patients undergoing either balloon angioplasty (n = 30) or directional atherectomy (n = 9) were treated with heparin to maintain an activated clotting time of >300 seconds. Levels of F1.2, fibrinopeptide A, and thrombin-antithrombin complex were measured in the coronary sinus and coronary artery before and after intervention. Angiograms were reviewed for lesion morphologic characteristics and dissection. RESULTS There was no evidence for thrombin generation or increased thrombin activity after angioplasty regardless of lesion morphologic characteristics, dissection, type of intervention, or blood sampling site. In fact, coronary sinus concentrations of F1.2 decreased after intervention (median 0.31 nmol/L; 25th percentile 0.26 nmol/L, 75th percentile 0.37 nmol/L) before intervention to 0.23 nmol/L (25th percentile 0.19 nmol/L, 75th percentile 0.34 nmol/L) after intervention (P =.002). CONCLUSIONS Angioplasty performed in the presence of adequate heparin inhibited thrombin even when there was complex lesion morphology or dissection. These data suggest that heparin provides satisfactory thrombin inhibition during routine angioplasty.

Abstract
2-Methylimidazole (2-MI), widely used as a chemical intermediate, is also present in cigarette smoke and may form in food and forage as a result of ammoniation of simple sugars. 2-MI has been shown to be neurotoxic in several animal species and to alter serum levels of T3, T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the rat, apparently leading to hyperplasia of thyroid follicular cells. In order to better characterize 2-MI-induced toxicity, the disposition of [2-(14)C]-2-MI has been investigated following p.o. administration of either 5, 50, or 150 mg/kg to male F344 rats. Excretion data indicated that absorption of 2-MI was both rapid and proportional to dose in the range studied. Approximately 90% of the total dose was eliminated in urine within 24 h. Most of the remaining 14C was excreted in feces and as expired 14CO2. Excretion data were similar following i.v. administration of 5 mg/kg. Little or no enterohepatic circulation of compound occurred, since biliary excretion of 2-MI-derived 14C was negligible. Approximately 70% of the 14C excreted in urine, following all dosing, consisted of parent compound. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatograms for all treatment groups were similar, indicating that metabolism of 2-MI in rats was not affected by dose or route of administration.

Abstract
Tamoxifen (TAM), an antiestrogen, is widely used to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer in post-menopausal women. TAM may be used as a chemopreventive agent in women of child-bearing age; however, few data exist describing potential TAM-induced fetal toxicity. In support of the National Toxicology Program's characterization of reproductive and developmental effects of TAM, this work describes an analytical technique utilizing capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the detection of circulating levels of TAM, N-desmethyltamoxifen (DMT), and 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-HT) in maternal rodent serum. Greater than 90% of 3H-labeled TAM was extractable from serum using 98:2 hexane-isoamyl alcohol. Optimum separation of TAM, DMT, and 4-HT was obtained on a 57 cmx50 microm capillary using a nonaqueous buffer system of 1:1 methanol-acetonitrile containing 50 mM ammonium acetate and 1% acetic acid. 4-Dimethylaminopyridine was used as internal standard. Temperature and voltage were optimized at 40 degrees C and 15 kV, respectively. The limit of detection of TAM by UV detection at 214 nm was approximately 800 amol. TAM and DMT were confirmed in serum of female rats 4 h following a single oral dose of 120 mg/kg. Transplacental exposure of TAM to fetal tissue will be evaluated using this technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A 2-hour infusion of the direct thrombin inhibitor hirudin at the time of balloon angioplasty limits restenosis in the focally atherosclerotic rabbit. Although short-term administration of hirudin may have a prolonged biological effect, the effect of hirudin on vessel thrombin activity has not been previously studied in an animal model of angioplasty. We hypothesized that a short intravenous infusion of hirudin would result in prolonged inhibition of arterial wall-associated thrombin activity (ATA) after angioplasty. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-one rabbits received recombinant hirudin (r-hirudin)(1 mg/kg bolus plus 1 mg x kg(-1) x h(-1)x2hours) or bolus heparin (controls, 150 U/kg) intravenously at the time of femoral balloon angioplasty. ATA was measured through exposure of arterial segments ex vivo to fibrinogen and conducting an assay for fibrinopeptide A (FPA). ATA was low in nonballooned, atherosclerotic vessels (FPA=0.5+/-0.3 ng x mL(-1) x mg(-1)) but increased significantly at 24 hours after angioplasty in the heparin group (3.7+/-0.9 ng x mL(-1) x mg(-1), P<.01 versus baseline, n=9) but not in the hirudin group (FPA = 1.4+/-0.3; P=NS versus baseline, P<.02 versus heparin controls, n=8). The time course of ATA after angioplasty was assessed in 44 rabbits. Thrombin activity peaked at 48 hours and declined to baseline at 72 hours and 7 days. FPA values between the heparin and r-hirudin groups were similar at these later time points. CONCLUSIONS A 2-hour intravenous infusion of r-hirudin suppressed ATA measured 24 hours after angioplasty in the focally atherosclerotic rabbit. This prolonged biological effect may account, in part, for the reduction in restenosis seen in this model.

Abstract
1. The biological fate of the antioxidant [3-14C]ethoxyquin (EQ) was investigated in the male F344 rat and the B6C3F1 mouse following either p.o. or i.v. administration. 2. The disposition of single doses up to 25 mg/kg was similar in the rat and mouse. About 90% of a total dose was excreted in urine and faeces within 24 h post-dosing. In contrast, no more than 60% of a higher dose of 250 mg/kg was excreted within 24 h following p.o. administration. 3. Metabolism of EQ was rapid in both the rat and mouse following either p.o. or i.v. administration. Little or no parent compound was detected in cumulative 24-h excreta. 5. EQ-derived radioactivity bioaccumulated in some tissues following repeated exposure to rat of either 25 or 250 mg/kg by gavage. However, the fold-increases in concentrations of EQ-derived radioactivity in tissues following repeated administration of the higher dose were generally less than those observed following repeated administration of the lower dose. Repeated high dose administration may overcome delayed gastric emptying (observed following single dose administration of 250 mg/kg) and/or lead to auto-induction of EQ metabolism.

Abstract
1. The major pathways of ethoxyquin (EQ) metabolism in both the rat and mouse are O-deethylation and conjugation to endogenous substrates. 2. The two major EQ-derived metabolites excreted in rat urine were in the form of sulphate conjugates, 1,2-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline sulphate, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,6-dihydroxy-4-methylene-2,2-dimethylquinoline sulphate. The latter apparently arises from an intramolecular rearrangement of the 3,4-epoxide of ethoxyquin. 3. Mouse urine contained one major glucuronide, 1,2-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline glucuronide as well as one major sulphate conjugate, 1,2-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline sulphate. 4. EQ-derived radioactivity was excreted in rat bile, mainly as GSH conjugates, with little unchanged EQ present. Two of the biliary metabolites are glutathione conjugates of ethoxyquin 3,4-epoxide; the third appears to be a conjugate of either ethoxyquin 7,8-epoxide or 2,2,4-trimethylquinol-6-one.

Abstract
1. Benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (BTMAC)-derived radioactivity was rapidly eliminated from the F344 rat and the B6C3F1 mouse following p.o. administration of 0.63-63 mg/kg of [ring-U-14C] BTMAC. Greater than 90% of the radioactivity was excreted in urine and faeces within 24-h post-dosing. 2. BTMAC was poorly to moderately absorbed from the GI tract following p.o. administration. The percent of total dose absorbed did not exceed either 40% in the rat or 15% in the mouse. 3. Absorption was linear, but limited, over time following dermal administration of 63 mg/kg to the rat. Less than 10% of the total dose was absorbed from the skin within 24 h of BTMAC application. 4. Metabolism of BTMAC was minimal in both the rat and mouse. Toxicity (excessive cholinergic stimulation and mortality) appears to be attributable to the parent compound. 5. The limited absorption and rapid elimination of BTMAC should result in little or no bioaccumulation in tissues following repeated exposure to low levels of this compound. The results suggest that greater human health risks may be associated with acute high level exposure rather than chronic low level exposure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) carried out a member survey to measure pediatricians' views of parental permission and notification for selected health services for two age groups of adolescents, the 13 to 15 year olds and the 16 to 17 year olds. METHODS Through an AAP Periodic Survey, a sample of 1000 members of the AAP were sent questionnaires to fill out and return. The response rate was 77%. RESULTS The majority of pediatricians in all groups examined believed parental permission and notification were important for general medical and surgical care. But for most other types of care delineated, related to substance abuse and sexuality, most pediatricians did not believe parental permission should be required, except for requests for abortion for 13-15 year olds. For several types of care most pediatricians believed parental notification should be required for 13-15 year olds. Older pediatricians, male pediatricians, and self-employed pediatricians were more apt to support both parental permission and notification for all types of care. When age, gender and self versus not self-employed were introduced together through a logistic regression procedure differences in views were accounted for by self versus not self-employed, and age and gender had no additional impact. CONCLUSIONS Most pediatricians supported the right of minors to seek care without parental permission for care related to substance abuse and sexuality. The majority were less likely to grant confidentiality to adolescents, particularly those 13 to 15 years.
