Abstract
BACKGROUND International mortality and frequency rates for breast cancer have been associated with the wet type of human earwax. It was recently found that earwax type is determined by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), 538G>A (Gly180Arg), in ABCC11. The G allele determines the wet type of earwax as a Mendelian trait with a dominant phenotype. The present study examined the association between the frequency rate of breast cancer and the frequency of the G allele of ABCC11. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using blood samples from patients with invasive breast cancer (n = 270) and control volunteers (n = 273), the 538G>A SNP in ABCC11 was genotyped using the SmartAmp method. RESULTS The frequency of the G allele in breast cancer patients was higher than that in healthy controls. The odds ratio for the genotypes (G/G+G/A) to develop breast cancer was estimated to be 1.63 (p-value = 0.026), suggesting that the G allele in ABCC11 is associated with breast cancer risk. CONCLUSION This study showed that Japanese women with wet earwax have a higher relative risk of developing breast cancer than those with dry earwax. The ABCC11 SNPs that determine these phenotypes should be further investigated in order to obtain insights into the mechanisms by which breast cancer develops and progresses.

Abstract
Induction therapy with alemtuzumab (C-1H) prior to cardiac transplantation (CTX) may allow for lower intensity maintenance immunosuppression. This is a retrospective study of patients who underwent CTX at a single institution from January 2001 until April 2009 and received no induction versus induction with C-1H on a background of tacrolimus and mycophenolate. Those with C-1H received dose-reduced calcineurin inhibitor and no steroids. A total of 220 patients were included, 110 received C-1H and 110 received no induction. Recipient baseline characteristics, donor age and gender were not different between the two groups. Mean tacrolimus levels (ng/mL) for C-1H versus no induction: months 1-3 (8.5 vs. 12.9), month 4-6 (10.2 vs. 13.0), month 7-9 (10.2 vs. 11.9) and month 10-12 (9.9 vs. 11.3) were all significantly lower for the C-1H group, p < 0.001. There were no differences between the C-1H and no induction groups at 12 months for overall survival 85.1% versus 93.6% p = 0.09, but freedom from significant rejection was significantly higher for the C-1H group, 84.5% versus 51.6%, p < 0.0001. In conclusion, induction therapy after CTX with C-1H results in a similar 12 month survival, but a greater freedom from rejection despite lower calcineurin levels and without the use of steroids.

Disruption of N-linked glycosylation enhances ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of the human ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCG2. FEBS J 2010; 276:7237-52.

Abstract
The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCG2 (BCRP/MXR/ABCP), is a plasma membrane protein containing intramolecular and intermolecular disulfide bonds and an N-linked glycan at Asn596. We have recently reported that the intramolecular disulfide bond is a critical checkpoint for determining the degradation fates of ABCG2. In the present study, we aimed to analyze quantitatively the impact of the N-linked glycan on the protein stability of ABCG2. For this purpose, we incorporated one single copy of ABCG2 cDNA into a designated site of genomic DNA in Flp-In-293 cells to stably express ABCG2 or its variant proteins. When ABCG2 wild type-expressing cells were incubated with various N-linked glycosylation inhibitors, tunicamycin profoundly suppressed the protein expression level of ABCG2 and, accordingly, reduced the ABCG2-mediated cellular resistance to the cancer chemotherapeutic SN-38. When Asn596 was converted to Gln596, the resulting variant protein was not glycosylated, and its protein level was about one-third of the wild type level in Flp-In-293 cells. Treatment with MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, increased the level of the variant protein. Immunoblotting with anti-ubiquitin IgG1k after immunoprecipitation of ABCG2 revealed that the N596Q protein was ubiquitinated at levels that were significantly enhanced by treatment with MG132. Immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that treatment with MG132 increased the level of ABCG2 N596Q protein both in intracellular compartments and in the plasma membrane. In conclusion, we propose that the N-linked glycan at Asn596 is important for stabilizing de novo-synthesized ABCG2 and that disruption of this linkage results in protein destabilization and enhanced ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation.

Abstract
The vector-mediated introduction of cDNA into mammalian cells by calcium phosphate co-precipitation or permeation with lipofectamine is widely used for the integration of cDNA into genomic DNA. Such integration, however, of cDNA occurs randomly at unpredictable sites in the host's chromosomal DNA, and the number of integrated recombinant DNAs is not controllable. To overcome this problem, we developed the Flp-In method to integrate one single copy of cDNA encoding the human ABC transporter ABCG2 into FRT-tagged genomic DNA. Examination of more than 20 metaphase spreads for both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping and multicolor-FISH analysis revealed that ABCG2 cDNA was incorporated into the telomeric region of the short arm on one of chromosomes 12 in Flp-In-293 cells. By using those cells, we investigated the effect of genetic polymorphisms and post-translational modifications of human ABC transporter ABCG2 on the protein expression and degradation. On the basis of our experience, it has been concluded that the Flp recombinase system provides a useful tool to quantitatively analyze the protein stability and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation of proteins like the ABC transporter. This system is also applicable for similar studies of the biogenesis of other proteins using the secretory pathway as well as proteins with other cellular localizations.

Abstract
The magnetism of CaMn(0.55)Ir(0.45)O(3) has been studied using the magnetic Compton scattering technique. The analysis of the magnetic Compton profile shows that the spin moments of Mn and Ir form an antiparallel configuration, establishing ferrimagnetism. Moreover, the experimental results indicate the existence of an orbital moment 0.2 μ(B)/f.u.. The possible model for these results has been discussed under the framework of the localized electron model by taking account of the electronic states of the Ir(4+) ion.

Abstract
Lung cancer screening programmes using chest X-ray and sputum cytology are routinely performed in Japan; however, the efficacy is insufficient. Screening using low-dose computed tomography (CT) is a more effective approach and has the potential to detect the disease more accurately. A total of 7183 low-dose CT screening tests for 4689 participants and 36 085 chest X-ray screening tests for 13 381 participants were conducted between August 1998 and May 2002. Sensitivity and specificity of lung cancer screening were calculated by both the detection method and the incidence method by linkage of the screening database and the Cancer Registry database. The preclinical detectable phase was assumed to be 1 year. Sensitivity and specificity by the detection method were 88.9 and 92.6% for low-dose CT and 78.3 and 97.0% for chest X-ray, respectively. Sensitivity of low-dose CT by the incidence method was 79.5%, whereas that of chest X-ray was 86.5%. Lung cancer screening using low-dose CT resulted in higher sensitivity and lower specificity than traditional screening according to the detection method. However, sensitivity by the incidence method was not as high as this. These findings demonstrate the potential for overdiagnosis in CT screening-detected cases.

Abstract
Spermatozoa of wild mice from China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, India, Japan and Switzerland were frozen and stored at -196 degrees C. After thawing, intact oocytes were inseminated in vitro with relatively high motility frozen-thawed mouse spermatozoa from Czechoslovakia, Denmark and India, while oocytes with a partially dissected zona were inseminated with low motility frozen-thawed spermatozoa from China, Japan and Switzerland. Embryos developing to the 2-cell stage from oocytes fertilized with frozen-thawed spermatozoa were transferred to the oviducts of female recipients on the first day of pseudopregnancy (day when a vaginal plug was confirmed). Successful embryo development to the 2-cell stage was 46 to 67%. Offspring resulted from 17 to 51% of these transferred 2-cell embryos.

Abstract
A 56-year-old man had undergone ascending aorta and total arch replacement because of aortic dissection (Stanford type A) in 1997. He had onset of diplegia of the lower limb and vesicorectal disability. Computed tomography (CT) showed serpentine aneurysm in the descending aorta, it was seen between the left subclavian artery and diaphragm level. It was 80 mm of maximum diameter. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed for identified Adamkiewicz artery, but we could not identify it. We performed a graft replacement. The 8th intercostal artery was reconstructed with a branch graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. We conclude that graft replacement for spinal ischemia can be effective.
