Abstract
BACKGROUND An increase in airway caliber (airway distensibility) with lung inflation is attenuated in COPD. Furthermore, some subjects have a decrease in airway caliber with lung inflation. We aimed to test the hypothesis that airway caliber increases are lower in subjects with emphysema-predominant (EP) compared with airway-predominant (AP) CT scan subtypes. Additionally, we compared clinical and CT scan features of subjects with (airway constrictors) and without a decrease in airway caliber. METHODS Based on GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) stages and CT scan subtypes, we created a control group (n = 46) and the following matched COPD groups (n = 23 each): GOLD-2-AP, GOLD-2-EP, GOLD-4-AP, and GOLD-4-EP. From the CT scans of all 138 subjects, we measured emphysema, lung volumes, and caliber changes in the third and fourth airway generations of two bronchi. We expressed airway distensibility (ratio of airway lumen diameter change to lung volume change from end tidal breathing to full inspiration) as a global or lobar measure based on normalization by whole-lung or lobar volume changes. RESULTS Global distensibility in the third and fourth airway generations was significantly lower in the GOLD-2-EP and GOLD-4-EP groups than in control subjects. In GOLD-2 subjects, lobar distensibility of the right-upper-lobe fourth airway generation was significantly lower in those with EP than in those with AP. In multivariate analysis, emphysema was an independent determinant of global and lobar airway distensibility. Compared with nonconstrictors, airway constrictors experienced more dyspnea, were more hyperinflated, and had a higher percentage of emphysema. CONCLUSIONS Distensibility of large- to medium-sized airways is reduced in subjects with an EP CT scan subtype. Emphysema seems to alter airway-parenchyma interdependence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In COPD patients, hyperinflation impairs cardiac function. We examined whether lung deflation improves oxygen pulse, a surrogate marker of stroke volume. METHODS In 129 NETT patients with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and arterial blood gases (ABG substudy), hyperinflation was assessed with residual volume to total lung capacity ratio (RV/TLC), and cardiac function with oxygen pulse (O(2) pulse=VO(2)/HR) at baseline and 6 months. Medical and surgical patients were divided into "deflators" and "non-deflators" based on change in RV/TLC from baseline (∆RV/TLC). We defined deflation as the ∆RV/TLC experienced by 75% of surgical patients. We examined changes in O(2) pulse at peak and similar (iso-work) exercise. Findings were validated in 718 patients who underwent CPET without ABGs. RESULTS In the ABG substudy, surgical and medical deflators improved their RV/TLC and peak O(2) pulse (median ∆RV/TLC -18.0% vs. -9.3%, p=0.0003; median ∆O(2) pulse 13.6% vs. 1.8%, p=0.12). Surgical deflators also improved iso-work O(2) pulse (0.53 mL/beat, p=0.04 at 20 W). In the validation cohort, surgical deflators experienced a greater improvement in peak O(2) pulse than medical deflators (mean 18.9% vs. 1.1%). In surgical deflators improvements in O(2) pulse at rest and during unloaded pedaling (0.32 mL/beat, p<0.0001 and 0.47 mL/beat, p<0.0001, respectively) corresponded with significant reductions in HR and improvements in VO(2). On multivariate analysis, deflators were 88% more likely than non-deflators to have an improvement in O(2) pulse (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.30-2.72, p=0.0008). CONCLUSION In COPD, decreased hyperinflation through lung volume reduction is associated with improved O(2) pulse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although COPD is associated with significant health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) impairment, factors influencing HRQL in patients with COPD are not well understood, particularly in African Americans. We hypothesized that HRQL in COPD differs by race and sought to identify factors associated with those differences. METHODS We analyzed 224 African American and 1,049 Caucasian subjects with COPD enrolled in the COPDGene (Genetic Epidemiology of COPD) Study whose conditions were classified as GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) stages I to IV. HRQL and symptoms were compared using the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and the modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea (MMRC) scale. We constructed a mixed-effects linear regression model for SGRQ score. RESULTS African Americans were younger and reported fewer pack-years of smoking, more current smoking, and less attained education than Caucasians; MMRC scores were higher (P = .02) as were SGRQ scores (mean score difference, 8.4; P < .001). In a general linear model of SGRQ total score after adjusting for factors such as age, sex, and pack-years of smoking, SGRQ total score was similar for African Americans and Caucasians who reported no COPD exacerbations in the prior year. However, for subjects with exacerbations, SGRQ total score was increased to a greater relative extent for African Americans than for Caucasians (1.89 points for each exacerbation, P = .006). For hospitalized exacerbations, the effect on SGRQ total score also was greater for African Americans (4.19 points, P = .04). Furthermore, a larger percentage of African Americans reported having had at least one exacerbation that required hospitalization in the prior year (32% vs 16%, P < .001). CONCLUSION In analyses that account for other variables that affect quality of life, HRQL is similar for African Americans and Caucasians with COPD without exacerbations but worse for African Americans who experience exacerbations, particularly hospitalized exacerbations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In order to prevent unexpected events such as aspiration pneumonia, cerebral angiography has been performed under fasting in most cases. We investigated prospectively the necessity of fasting before elective cerebral angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study is an open-labeled clinical trial without random allocation. In total, 2554 patients who underwent elective cerebral angiography were evaluated on development of nausea, vomiting, and pulmonary aspiration during and after angiography. Potential risks and benefits associated with fasting were provided in written documents and through personal counseling to patients before the procedure. The patients chose their fasting or nonfasting option. No restriction in diet was given after angiography. The patients were observed for 24 hours. Nausea and vomiting during and within 1 hour after angiography was considered as a positive event associated with cerebral angiography. RESULTS The overall incidence of nausea and vomiting during and within 1 hour after angiography was 1.05% (27/2554 patients). There was no patient with pulmonary aspiration. No statistical difference in nausea and vomiting development between the fasting and the diet groups was found. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of nausea and vomiting associated with cerebral angiography is low and not affected by diet or fasting. Pulmonary aspiration had no difference between the diet and the fasting group. Our study suggests that fasting may not be necessary for patients who undergo elective cerebral angiography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic bronchitis (CB) in patients with COPD is associated with an accelerated lung function decline and an increased risk of respiratory infections. Despite its clinical significance, the chronic bronchitic phenotype in COPD remains poorly defined. METHODS We analyzed data from subjects enrolled in the Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene) Study. A total of 1,061 subjects with GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) stage II to IV were divided into two groups: CB (CB+) if subjects noted chronic cough and phlegm production for ≥ 3 mo/y for 2 consecutive years, and no CB (CB-) if they did not. RESULTS There were 290 and 771 subjects in the CB+ and CB- groups, respectively. Despite similar lung function, the CB+ group was younger (62.8 ± 8.4 vs 64.6 ± 8.4 years, P = .002), smoked more (57 ± 30 vs 52 ± 25 pack-years, P = .006), and had more current smokers (48% vs 27%, P < .0001). A greater percentage of the CB+ group reported nasal and ocular symptoms, wheezing, and nocturnal awakenings secondary to cough and dyspnea. History of exacerbations was higher in the CB+ group (1.21 ± 1.62 vs 0.63 ± 1.12 per patient, P < .027), and more patients in the CB+ group reported a history of severe exacerbations (26.6% vs 20.0%, P = .024). There was no difference in percent emphysema or percent gas trapping, but the CB+ group had a higher mean percent segmental airway wall area (63.2% ± 2.9% vs 62.6% ± 3.1%, P = .013). CONCLUSIONS CB in patients with COPD is associated with worse respiratory symptoms and higher risk of exacerbations. This group may need more directed therapy targeting chronic mucus production and smoking cessation not only to improve symptoms but also to reduce risk, improve quality of life, and improve outcomes.

Abstract
The composite physiologic index (CPI) was derived to represent the extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), adjusting for emphysema in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We hypothesised that longitudinal change in CPI would better predict mortality than forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)), forced vital capacity (FVC) or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D(L,CO)) in all patients with IPF, and especially in those with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE). Cox proportional hazard models were performed on pulmonary function data from IPF patients at baseline (n = 321), 6 months (n = 211) and 12 months (n = 144). Presence of CPFE was determined by HRCT. A five-point increase in CPI over 12 months predicted subsequent mortality (HR 2.1, p = 0.004). At 12 months, a 10% relative decline in FVC, a 15% relative decline in D(L,CO) or an absolute increase in CPI of five points all discriminated median survival by 2.1 to 2.2 yrs versus patients with lesser change. Half our cohort had CPFE. In patients with moderate/severe emphysema, only a 10% decline in FEV(1) predicted mortality (HR 3.7, p = 0.046). In IPF, a five-point increase in CPI over 12 months predicts mortality similarly to relative declines of 10% in FVC or 15% in D(L,CO). For CPFE patients, change in FEV(1) was the best predictor of mortality.

Abstract
Significant heterogeneity of clinical presentation and disease progression exists within chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although FEV(1) inadequately describes this heterogeneity, a clear alternative has not emerged. The goal of phenotyping is to identify patient groups with unique prognostic or therapeutic characteristics, but significant variation and confusion surrounds use of the term "phenotype" in COPD. Phenotype classically refers to any observable characteristic of an organism, and up until now, multiple disease characteristics have been termed COPD phenotypes. We, however, propose the following variation on this definition: "a single or combination of disease attributes that describe differences between individuals with COPD as they relate to clinically meaningful outcomes (symptoms, exacerbations, response to therapy, rate of disease progression, or death)." This more focused definition allows for classification of patients into distinct prognostic and therapeutic subgroups for both clinical and research purposes. Ideally, individuals sharing a unique phenotype would also ultimately be determined to have a similar underlying biologic or physiologic mechanism(s) to guide the development of therapy where possible. It follows that any proposed phenotype, whether defined by symptoms, radiography, physiology, or cellular or molecular fingerprint will require an iterative validation process in which "candidate" phenotypes are identified before their relevance to clinical outcome is determined. Although this schema represents an ideal construct, we acknowledge any phenotype may be etiologically heterogeneous and that any one individual may manifest multiple phenotypes. We have much yet to learn, but establishing a common language for future research will facilitate our understanding and management of the complexity implicit to this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HRQL in IPF patients is impaired. Data from other respiratory diseases led us to hypothesize that significant gender differences in HRQL in IPF also exist. METHODS Data were drawn from the NIH-sponsored Lung Tissue Research Consortium (LTRC). Demographic and pulmonary physiology data along with MMRC, SF-12, and SGRQ scores from women vs. men were compared with two-sample t-tests. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the association between SF-12 component scores and gender while adjusting for other relevant variables. RESULTS The study sample consisted of 147 men and 74 women. Among several baseline variables, only DL(CO)% predicted differed between women and men, (43.7 vs. 38.0, p=0.03). In general, men exhibited lower (better) MMRC scores (1.7 vs. 2.4, p=0.02), particularly those with milder disease as measured by DL(CO)% predicted. In an adjusted analysis, SF-12 PCS scores in men were lower (worse) than women (p=0.01), an effect that was more pronounced in men with greater dyspnea scores. In a similar analysis, SF-12 MCS scores in women were lower than men (worse) (48.3 vs. 54.4, p=0.0004), an effect that was more pronounced in women with greater dyspnea scores. CONCLUSIONS Significant gender differences in HRQL exist in IPF. As compared to women, men reported less severe dyspnea, had worse SF-12 PCS scores, but better SF-12 MCS scores. Dyspnea appears to have a greater impact on the physical HRQL of men and the emotional HRQL of women. An improved understanding of the mechanism behind these differences is needed to better target interventions.

Abstract
Lung CD8(+) T cells might contribute to progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) indirectly via IFN-gamma production or directly via cytolysis, but evidence for either mechanism is largely circumstantial. To gain insights into these potential mechanisms, we analyzed clinically indicated lung resections from three human cohorts, correlating findings with spirometrically defined disease severity. Expression by lung CD8(+) T cells of IL-18R and CD69 correlated with severity, as did mRNA transcripts for perforin and granzyme B, but not Fas ligand. These correlations persisted after correction for age, smoking history, presence of lung cancer, recent respiratory infection, or inhaled corticosteroid use. Analysis of transcripts for killer cell lectin-like receptor G1, IL-7R, and CD57 implied that lung CD8(+) T cells in COPD do not belong to the terminally differentiated effector populations associated with chronic infections or extreme age. In vitro stimulation of lung CD8(+) T cells with IL-18 plus IL-12 markedly increased production of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, whereas IL-15 stimulation induced increased intracellular perforin expression. Both IL-15 and IL-18 protein expression could be measured in whole lung tissue homogenates, but neither correlated in concentration with spirometric severity. Although lung CD8(+) T cell expression of mRNA for both T-box transcription factor expressed in T cells and GATA-binding protein 3 (but not retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma or alpha) increased with spirometric severity, stimulation of lung CD8(+) T cells via CD3epsilon-induced secretion of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and GM-CSF, but not IL-5, IL-13, and IL-17A. These findings suggest that the production of proinflammatory cytokines and cytotoxic molecules by lung-resident CD8(+) T cells contributes to COPD pathogenesis.

Abstract
RATIONALE Previous investigations have identified several potential predictors of outcomes from lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). A concern regarding these studies has been their small sample size, which may limit generalizability. We therefore sought to examine radiographic and physiologic predictors of surgical outcomes in a large, multicenter clinical investigation, the National Emphysema Treatment Trial. OBJECTIVES To identify objective radiographic and physiological indices of lung disease that have prognostic value in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease being evaluated for LVRS. METHODS A subset of the subjects undergoing LVRS in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial underwent preoperative high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the chest and measures of static lung recoil at total lung capacity (SRtlc) and inspiratory resistance (Ri). The relationship between CT measures of emphysema, the ratio of upper to lower zone emphysema, CT measures of airway disease, SRtlc, Ri, the ratio of residual volume to total lung capacity (RV/TLC), and both 6-month postoperative changes in FEV(1) and maximal exercise capacity were assessed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Physiological measures of lung elastic recoil and inspiratory resistance were not correlated with improvement in either the FEV(1) (R = -0.03, P = 0.78 and R = -0.17, P = 0.16, respectively) or maximal exercise capacity (R = -0.02, P = 0.83 and R = 0.08, P = 0.53, respectively). The RV/TLC ratio and CT measures of emphysema and its upper to lower zone ratio were only weakly predictive of postoperative changes in both the FEV(1) (R = 0.11, P = 0.01; R = 0.2, P < 0.0001; and R = 0.23, P < 0.0001, respectively) and maximal exercise capacity (R = 0.17, P = 0.0001; R = 0.15, P = 0.002; and R = 0.15, P = 0.002, respectively). CT assessments of airway disease were not predictive of change in FEV(1) or exercise capacity in this cohort. CONCLUSIONS The RV/TLC ratio and CT measures of emphysema and its distribution are weak but statistically significant predictors of outcome after LVRS.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exhibits airflow obstruction that is not fully reversible. The importance of bronchoreversibility remains controversial. We hypothesised that an emphysematous phenotype of COPD would be associated with decreased bronchoreversibility. 544 patients randomised to the medical arm of the National Emphysema Treatment Trial formed the study group. Participants underwent multiple measurements of bronchoreversibility on a mean of four sessions over 1.91 yrs. They were also characterised by measures of symptoms, quality of life and quantitative measures of emphysema by computed tomography. Mean baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) in this patient population is 24% predicted. 22.2% of patients demonstrated bronchoreversibility on one or more occasions using American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria. Few patients (0.37%) had bronchoreversibility on all completed tests. Patients who demonstrated bronchoreversibility were more likely to be male, and have better lung function and less emphysema. 64% of patients demonstrated large (> or =400 mL) changes in forced vital capacity (FVC). In a severe emphysema population, bronchoreversibility as defined by change in FEV(1) is infrequent, varies over time, and is more common in males and those with less severe emphysema. Improvements in FVC, however, were demonstrated in the majority of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this prospective randomized study, the authors compared the analgesic effect of a fascia iliaca compartment (FIC) block with that of intravenous (i.v.) alfentanil when administered to facilitate positioning for spinal anaesthesia in elderly patients undergoing surgery for a femoral neck fracture. METHODS The 40 patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups, namely, the FIC group (fascia iliaca compartment block, n=20) and the IVA group (intravenous analgesia with alfentanil, n=20). Group IVA patients received a bolus dose of i.v. alfentanil 10 microg/kg, followed by a continuous infusion of alfentanil 0.25 microg/kg/min starting 2 min before the spinal block, and group FIC patients received a FIC block with 30 ml of ropivacaine 3.75 mg/ml (112.5 mg) 20 min before the spinal block. Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) scores, time to achieve spinal anaesthesia, quality of patient positioning, and patient acceptance were compared. RESULTS VAS scores during positioning (mean and range) were lower in the FIC group than in the IVA group [2.0 (1-4) vs. 3.5 (2-6), P=0.001], and the mean (+/- SD) time to achieve spinal anaesthesia was shorter in the FIC group (6.9 +/- 2.7 min vs. 10.8 +/- 5.6 min; P=0.009). Patient acceptance (yes/no) was also better in the FIC group (19/1) than in the IVA group (12/8)(P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS An FIC block is more efficacious than i.v. alfentanil in terms of facilitating the lateral position for spinal anaesthesia in elderly patients undergoing surgery for femoral neck fractures.

Abstract
RATIONALE Dendritic cells (DCs) have not been well studied in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet their integral role in activating and differentiating T cells makes them potential participants in COPD pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES To determine the expression of maturation molecules by individual DC subsets in relationship to COPD stage and to expression of the acute activation marker CD69 by lung CD4(+) T cells. METHODS We nonenzymatically released lung leukocytes from human surgical specimens (n = 42) and used flow cytometry to identify three DC subsets (mDC1, mDC2, and pDC) and to measure their expression of three costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80 and CD86) and of CD83, the definitive marker of DC maturation. Spearman nonparametric correlation analysis was used to identify significant correlations between expression of DC maturation molecules and COPD severity. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Expression of CD40 by mDC1 and mDC2 and of CD86 by mDC2 was high regardless of GOLD stage, but CD80 and CD83 on these two DC subsets increased with disease progression. pDC also showed significant increases in expression of CD40 and CD80. Expression of all but one of the DC molecules that increased with COPD severity also correlated with CD69 expression on lung CD4(+) T cells from the same patients, with the exception of CD83 on mDC2. CONCLUSIONS This cross-sectional study implies that COPD progression is associated with significant increases in costimulatory molecule expression by multiple lung DC subsets. Interactions with lung DCs may contribute to the immunophenotype of CD4(+) T cells in advanced COPD. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00281229).

Abstract
In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, incidence is higher in males, and females may have better survival. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the rate of increase in desaturation during serial 6-min walk testing would be greater, and survival worse, for males versus females. Serial changes in the percentage of maximum desaturation area (DA) over 1 yr were estimated using mixed models in 215 patients. DA was defined as the total area above the curve created using desaturation percentage values observed during each minute of the 6-min walk test. Multivariate Cox regression assessed survival differences. Adjusting for baseline DA, 6-min walk distance, change in 6-min walk distance over time and smoking history, the percentage of maximum DA increased by an average of 2.83 and 1.37% per month for males and females, respectively. Females demonstrated better survival overall, which was more pronounced in patients who did not desaturate below 88% on ambulation at baseline and after additionally adjusting for 6-month relative changes in DA and forced vital capacity. These data suggest that differences in disease progression contribute to, but do not completely explain, better survival of females with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to elucidate whether phenylpropanolamine (PPA) in cold remedies (small and divided doses) increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). PPA exposure significantly increased the risk, and the risk was much higher in women. In women, linear trends were also found in recency, duration, and dosage of PPA exposure. PPA contained in cold remedies increases the risk of HS, particularly in women.

Abstract
Over the past several years, the significance of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in patients with chronic airflow obstruction has become increasingly apparent due to the impact these episodes have on the natural history of disease. It is now known that frequent AECOPD can adversely affect a patient's health-related quality of life and short- and long-term pulmonary function. The economic burden of these episodes is also substantial. AECOPDs represent a local and systemic inflammatory response to both infectious and noninfectious stimuli, but the majority of episodes are likely related to bacterial or viral pathogens. Patients with purulent sputum and multiple symptoms are the most likely to benefit from treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotic choice should be tailored to the individual patient, taking into account the severity of the episode and host factors which might increase the likelihood of treatment failure. Current evidence suggests that therapeutic goals not only include resolution of the acute episode, but also prolonging the time to the next event. In the future, preventing exacerbations will likely become increasingly accepted as an additional therapeutic goal in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence of proximal vertebral artery stenosis, compared wiith those of the distal vertebral/basilar artery and extracranial internal carotid artery, in a large population of stroke and non-stroke patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine-hundred-and-thirty-five patients who underwent high-resolution contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography in a regional general hospital were categorized into six groups based on neurological symptoms and disease: an asymptomatic group (n = 182), a minor symptom group with headache or dizziness (n = 519), a cardiac group with coronary artery steno-occlusive disease (n = 15), a hemorrhagic group with old cerebral hemorrhage (n=26), an anterior circulation infarct group (n = 121), and posterior circulation infarct group (n = 72). Prevalence of stenosis of the proximal vertebral artery, distal vertebral/basilar artery, and internal carotid artery was analyzed. RESULTS The prevalence of stenosis of the proximal vertebral artery, distal vertebral/ basilar artery, and internal carotid artery was 12.9%, 5.5%, and 7.2%, respectively, in the study population, and rose as the age increased (P < 0.0001 for all arteries). The prevalence of stenosis of the proximal vertebral artery, distal vertebral/basilar artery, and internal carotid artery was 3.3%, 0.5%, and 1.1%, respectively, in the asymptomatic group; 8.3%, 2.1%, and 3.7%, respectively, in the minor symptom group; 13.3%, 6.7% and 6.7%, respectively, in the cardiac group; 19.2%, 7.7%, and 7.7%, respectively, in the hemorrhagic group; 27.3%, 8.3%, and 25.6%, respectively, in the anterior circulation infarct group; and 44.4%, 36.1%, and 16.7%, respectively, in the posterior circulation infarct group. This increasing tendency of stenosis accordingly was statistically significant (P < 0.0001 for all arteries). CONCLUSION The prevalence of proximal vertebral artery stenosis was highest, compared with those of the distal vertebral/basilar artery and internal carotid artery, although the clinical significance of proximal vertebral artery stenosis should be investigated in further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various factors can influence the protease expression phenotype of mast cells. METHODS In an effort to understand the potential role of the mast cell proteases in the IgE-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) responses of murine tissues, we studied the changes of proteases expression. The expressions of proteases were examined by Northern blotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Promoted expression phenotypes of mouse mast cell protease (mMCP)-4, and rat mast cell protease I were accompanied by initiation of anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE-induced PCA responses, suggesting that the induction of these proteases expression are associated with IgE-mediated anaphylaxis responses. Elevated level of the L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC) mRNA expression was also observed in the PCA tissues and the activated mast cells, compared with that of the corresponding control tissue and cells, due to the activation of mast cells. CONCLUSIONS Promoted protease expression phenotype appears to be linked with the induction of HDC expression.

Abstract
Translin is a recently identified nucleic acid binding protein that appears to be involved in the recognition of conserved sequences found at many chromosomal breakpoints. Previous reports indicate that, based on gel filtration analysis and electron microscopy of protein-DNA complexes, translin forms an octameric structure that binds the DNA. In this study, we further examine the possibility of self-association of translin and its interactions with DNA by analytical ultracentrifugation. Sedimentation velocity analysis of translin indicates that the predominant species sediments with a sedimentation coefficient of 8.5 S and has a frictional ratio, f/f(omicron), of 1.35; these data are consistent with the presence of an octamer with an ellipsoidal configuration; a small amount of a component with significantly higher mass is also present. Equilibrium sedimentation studies of translin at three different protein concentrations also indicate that the predominant species present is an octamer with a minor fraction of aggregated species. Neither monomer nor dimer was detected. Sedimentation equilibrium studies of translin with an FITC-labeled single-stranded oligonucleotide were performed to examine the interaction. A novel analysis method has been developed to analyze protein-nucleic acid interactions based on global fitting of scans of 280 and 490 nm to appropriate mathematical models. Utilizing this method, it was determined that the DNA binding species of translin is an octamer binding a single-stranded oligonucleotide with a DeltaG degrees value of -9.49 +/- 0.12 kcal/mol, corresponding to a dissociation constant, K(d), of 84 +/- 17 nM. On the basis of this evidence and electron microscopy, it is envisioned that translin forms an annular structure of eight subunits, hydrodynamically an oblate ellipsoid, which binds DNA at chromosomal breakpoints.

Abstract
Lad was previously identified as an adaptor protein binding to the SH2 domain of Lck (1). Specific detection of Lad mRNA in lung cells, as well as, in T cells led us to investigate the signaling pathways regulating Lad in lung cells. We found that (i) upon PDGF stimulation, Lad expression is induced in lung cells, especially in the bronchial epithelial cells; (ii) Lad is tyrosine phosphorylated upon PDGF stimulation and is associated with PDGF receptor; (iii) upon PDGF stimulation, Grb2 is recruited to Lad in human embryonic lung cells; (iv) overexpression of Lad elevated AP-1 promoter activity by two- to threefold, whereas dominant negative Lad abrogated PDGF-dependent activation of AP-1 promoter. These results provide a novel mechanism of PDGF-dependent signaling, in which Lad acts as an adaptor in a tissue-specific manner, linking PDGF signal to Grb2 and subsequent activation of AP-1.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a product of CD38, has a second messenger role for in intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization from microsomes of pancreatic islets as well as from a variety of other cells. ADP-ribosylation of CD38 by ecto-mono ADP-ribosyltransferase in activated T cells results in apoptosis as well as inactivation of its activities. We, therefore, examined the effect of ADP-ribosylation of CD38 in mouse pancreatic islet cells. NAD-dependent inactivation and ADP-ribosylation of CD38, intracellular concentrations of cADPR and Ca(2+), and insulin secretion were measured following incubation of mouse pancreatic islet cells with NAD. ADP-ribosylation of CD38 inactivated its ecto-enzyme activities, and abolished glucose-induced increase of cADPR production, intracellular concentration of Ca(2+), and insulin secretion. Taken together, ecto-cyclase activity of CD38 to produce intracellular cADPR seems to be indispensable for insulin secretion.

Abstract
CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein found on both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. It is known for its involvement in the metabolism of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, two nucleotides with calcium mobilizing activity independent of inositol trisphosphate. It is generally believed that CD38 is an integral protein with ectoenzymatic activities found mainly on the plasma membrane. Here we show that enzymatically active CD38 is present intracellularly on the nuclear envelope of rat hepatocytes. CD38 isolated from rat liver nuclei possessed both ADP-ribosyl cyclase and NADase activity. Immunofluorescence studies on rat liver cryosections and isolated nuclei localized CD38 to the nuclear envelope of hepatocytes. Subcellular localization via immunoelectron microscopy showed that CD38 is located on the inner nuclear envelope. The isolated nuclei sequestered calcium in an ATP-dependent manner. cADPR elicited a rapid calcium release from the loaded nuclei, which was independent of inositol trisphosphate and was inhibited by 8-amino-cADPR, a specific antagonist of cADPR, and ryanodine. However, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate failed to elicit any calcium release from the nuclear calcium stores. The nuclear localization of CD38 shown in this study suggests a novel role of CD38 in intracellular calcium signaling for non-hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
IL-2-activated killer lymphocytes (LAK cells) secrete inflammatory cytokines such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) that can induce nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. We evaluated whether LAK cells could activate NO synthesis in human cancer cells. LAK cells and their culture supernatants induced NO synthesis in DLD-1 colon cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. NO synthesis was inhibited completely by blocking antibodies to IFN-gamma, demonstrating a key role for this LAK cell cytokine in regulating NO synthesis. The addition of TNFalpha antibodies resulted in partial inhibition. Induction of iNOS mRNA and protein expression in DLD-1 cells was detected. Endogenous NO production inhibited DLD-1 cell proliferation and induced apoptosis, processes that were inhibitable by the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine. Our study has identified a novel, non-contact-dependent LAK cell cytotoxic mechanism: induction of growth inhibition and programmed cell death due to endogenous NO synthesis in susceptible human cancer cells.

Abstract
CD38 is a bifunctional ectoenzyme predominantly expressed on hematopoietic cells where its expression correlates with differentiation and proliferation. The two enzyme activities displayed by CD38 are an ADP-ribosyl cyclase and a cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) hydrolase that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cADPR. T lymphocytes can be induced to express CD38 when activated with antibodies against specific antigen receptors. If the activated T cells are then exposed with NAD, cell death by apoptosis occurs. During the exposure of activated T cells to NAD, the CD38 is modified by ecto-mono-ADP-ribosyltransferases (ecto-mono-ADPRTs) specific for cysteine and arginine residues. Arginine-ADP-ribosylation results in inactivation of both cyclase and hydrolase activities of CD38, whereas cysteine-ADP-ribosylation results only in the inhibition of the hydrolase activity. The arginine-ADP-ribosylation causes a decrease in intracellular cADPR and a subsequent decrease in Ca(2+) influx, resulting in apoptosis of the activated T cells. Our results suggest that the interaction of two classes of ecto-ADP-ribose transfer enzymes plays an important role in immune regulation by the selective induction of apoptosis in activated T cells and that cADPR mediated signaling is essential for the survival of activated T cells.

Abstract
CD38 ligation has been shown to induce activation of intracellular signaling cascade in T lymphocytes through a Lck-dependent pathway. However, it is not clear how Lck initiates the CD38-mediated signaling process. In the present study, we showed that CD38 and Lck were physically associated through the cytoplasmic tail and the Src homology 2 domain, respectively. This was evidenced by coimmunoprecipitation of Lck with CD38 and Lck with isolated CD38 cytoplasmic domain from T cell lysate, cell lysate of COS-7 cells cotransfected with cDNAs of Lck and CD38, or a mixture of in vitro translated CD38 and Lck. Because the CD38 cytoplasmic domain does not contain any tyrosine residue, the interaction should be independent of phosphotyrosine. The interaction was further confirmed by in vitro interaction between a purified Lck Src homology 2 domain and a nonphosphosynthetic peptide corresponding to the membrane proximal region of the CD38 cytoplasmic domain. In addition, CD38 ligation resulted in an elevated tyrosine kinase activity of the CD38-associated Lck and ultimate activation of interleukin-2 gene transcription. Furthermore, expression of a kinase-deficient Lck mutant suppressed interleukin-2 gene activation in a dose-dependent manner. These results strongly suggested that CD38 ligation indeed tranduced signals for T cell activation using its associated Lck.

Abstract
CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed by hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells in human. It has two functions of ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase activities and the sum of these two enzyme activities is identical with NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) activity. The levels of NADase activity in human cervical carcinoma and normal cancer tissue were measured. With a total of 12 patients with cervical cancer and 11 women with normal cervix, cancer tissues were found to have significantly higher NADase and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activities than the control group. Moreover, immunoblot analysis showed an increase of immunoreactivity against CD38 in cervical cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. Immunohistochemical data indicated that the increase of CD38 expression was due to increased infiltration of lymphocytes.

Abstract
The role of the A2A adenosine receptor in regulating voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs) was investigated in PC12 cells. Ca2+ influx induced by membrane depolarization with 70 mM K+ could be inhibited with CGS21680, an A2A receptor-specific agonist. Both L- and N-type VSCCs were inhibited by CGS21680 treatment. Effects of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists indicate that the typical A2A receptor mediates inhibition of VSCCs. Cholera toxin (CTX) treatment for 24 h completely eliminated the CGS21680 potency. Similar inhibitory effects on VSCCs were obtained by membrane-permeable activators of protein kinase A (PKA). These effects were blocked by Rp-adenosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphothioate, a PKA inhibitor. The data suggest that activation of the A2A receptor leads to inhibition of VSCCs via a CTX-sensitive G protein and PKA. ATP pretreatment caused a reduction in subsequent rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration induced by 70 mM K+, presumably by inactivation of VSCCs. Simultaneous treatment with ATP and CGS21680 produced significantly greater inhibition of VSCCs than treatment with CGS21680 or ATP alone. Furthermore, the CGS21680-induced inhibition of VSCCs was not affected by the presence of reactive blue 2. CGS21680 still significantly inhibited ATP-evoked Ca2+ influx without VSCC activity after cobalt or 70 mM K+ pretreatment. These data suggest that the A2A receptor-sensitive VSCCs differ from those activated by ATP treatment. Although A2A receptors induce inhibition of VSCCs as well as ATP-induced Ca2+ influx, the two inhibitory effects are clearly distinct from each other.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of antithrombin III (ATIII), a serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN), on induction of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in murine peritoneal macrophages. Incubation of macrophages with ATIII plus interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) but not ATIII alone induced nitrite accumulation (a metabolite of NO) in a dose-dependent manner. Expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase isoform was confirmed by Western blot. NO synthesis was inhibited by NG-monomethyl-l-arginine, by complexing ATIII with thrombin or by rabbit anti-human ATIII antiserum. Addition of polymyxin B to macrophage cultures failed to inhibit ATIII/IFN-gamma-induced NO synthesis, excluding lipopolysaccharide contamination. 125I-ATIII bound to macrophages in a dose-dependent, specific, and saturable manner, with a Km of approximately 7.1 nM. Our results demonstrate that ATIII, but not ATIII/thrombin complex, acts to costimulate macrophage activation and NO synthesis via a novel receptor mediated mechanism, which may indicate a role for SERPINs in macrophage activation.

Abstract
Free ADP-ribose is a turnover product of NAD+, protein-bound polymeric and monomeric ADP-ribose, and cyclic ADP-ribose. But little is known about the specific cellular roles or metabolism of free ADP-ribose. ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.13), which hydrolyzes ADP-ribose into AMP and ribose-5'-phosphate, was purified from human erythrocytes. Purification was achieved to homogeneity by successive chromatographic steps, resulting in a final purification of 75,790-fold from the hemolysate. The purified enzyme showed a single band with the molecular weight of 34 kDa on SDS-PAGE both in the presence and absence of 2-mercaptoethanol. The molecular weight of the native enzyme calculated by gel filtration was 68 kDa, indicating that the active enzyme is a dimer of identical subunits. The enzyme requiring Mg2+ showed highest activity toward ADP-ribose, and about 40-70% activities with IDP-ribose, ADP-mannose and GDP-mannose. The enzyme showed a Km of 169 +/- 11 microM for ADP-ribose, broad pH optimum around pH 9.5, and pI of 5.1. ADP was a potent noncompetitive inhibitor with a Ki of 16 +/- 1.2 microM. These results suggest that our enzyme is unique, and different from the other ADP-ribose pyrophosphatases reported. ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase may play an important role in the regulation of intracellular steady-state of free ADP-ribose.

Abstract
NAD glycohydrolase (NADase; EC 3.2.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of NAD to produce ADP-ribose and nicotinamide. We recently demonstrated that self-inactivation of NADase from rabbit erythrocytes was due to an auto-ADP-ribosylation. In the present study, a mechanism of self-inactivation of NADase from Neurospora crassa by its substrate was investigated by using intact mycelia of N. crassa and purified NADase, which had molecular characteristics different from mammalian NADases. The results suggested that inactivation of NADase from N. crassa was also due to an auto-ADP-ribosylation. These findings indicate that the auto-modification of NADase is one of the universal phenomena to regulate enzyme functions.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on capping, which is associated with the actin polymerization in HL-60 cells (human promyelocytic leukemia cells). We first assessed the effect of NO on the patching and capping by using anti-human LFA-1 monoclonal antibody. Samples were analyzed by a fluorescence microscope. As expected, NO inhibited the percentage of capping dose dependently. We compared the effect of NO on capping with cytochalasin D (CD) and observed that CD also inhibits the capping in HL-60 cells. We next examined the effect of NO on the F-actin content. For assays of F-actin content, the FITC labelled phalloidin was permeabilized and stained in HL-60 cells. The bound fluorescence quantified by flow cytometry using a FACStar. There was a decrease in the F-actin formation in NO treated cells. Taken together, these data indicate that NO inhibits the capping on cellular membrane by decreasing the intracellular F-actin formation in HL-60 cells. We suggest that the formation of capping linked with actin polymerization at the inner leaflet of plasma membrane may be regulated by NO.

Abstract
It has been recently demonstrated that the Mg(2+)-dependent 3'-processing activity of purified human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) integrase is stimulated by the addition of exogenous Zn2+ [Lee, S. P., & Han, M. K. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 3837-3844]. This activation was hypothesized to result from integrase self-association. In this report, we examine the Zn2+ content of purified HIV-1 integrase by atomic absorption spectroscopy and by application of a thiol modification reagent, p-(hydroxymercuri)benzenesulfonate, with a metallochromic indicator, 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol. We find that the Zn2+ content of HIV-1 integrase varies from 0.1 to 0.92 equiv of Zn2+ per monomer depending on the conditions of protein purification. In vitro activity assays, time-resolved fluorescence emission anisotropy, and gel filtration chromatographic analyses all indicate that EDTA yields an apoprotein which is predominantly monomeric and less active with Mg2+. Further, sedimentation equilibrium studies reveal that reconstitution of the apoprotein with Zn2+ results in a monomer-tetramer-octamer transition. These results suggest that Zn2+ promotes a conformation with enhanced oligomerization and thereby stimulates Mg(2+)-dependent 3'-processing. This may also imply that multimers larger than dimers (tetramers and possibly octamers) are required for in vitro activity of integrase in the presence of Zn2+ and Mg2+. It should be noted, however, that the content of Zn2+ did not significantly affect the 3'-processing and strand transfer reactions with Mn2+ in vitro.

Abstract
A recently recognized property of nitric oxide (NO), which would be expected to alter cell function, is the capacity to induce the ADP-ribosylation of various proteins. In these studies we demonstrate that actin present in murine macrophages is a substrate for NO-dependent ADP-ribosylation and that this modification is associated with the modification of cellular functions in murine peritoneal macrophages. A 42-kDa substrate for NO-dependent ADP-ribosylation was identified as actin by binding to DNAse-I and immunoprecipitation with anti-actin antibodies. The amount of actin ADP-ribosylation was correlated with the concentration of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO generating agent, used in each experiment and with the amount of NO produced by activated macrophages. However, a specific inhibitor for NO synthase, N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (N(G)MMA), inhibited the ADP-ribosylation of actin by blocking the NO production in the interferon (IFN)-gamma plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cells. Because the integrity of cytoskeletal protein is involved in shape change, adhesion, and phagocytosis of cells, we elucidated the role of NO-dependent ADP-ribosylation of actin in murine macrophages. A morphology kinetics assay comparing pseudopodial extension values over a 72-hr period showed that IFN-gamma plus LPS-treated macrophages underwent a wave of morphological changes, returning to a round shape after 32 hr. However, incubation of the cells with IFN-gamma plus LPS in the presence of N(G)MMA resulted in spindle-shaped pseudopodia formation and an altered composition of F-actin in macrophages. Adding either SNP or botulinum C2 toxin also inhibited IFN-gamma plus LPS-induced pseudopodia formation even in the presence of N(G)MMA. Flow cytometry revealed that NO inhibits the phagocytosis of fluorescent particles in a reversible manner. Preincubation of the cells with SNP (2 mM) also diminished LPS- or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced macrophage adhesion on a laminin substratum. Collectively, in addition to its better-characterized role as a cytolytic mediator, the data illustrate that NO shows negative regulatory roles in cytoskeletal assembly, pseudopodia formation, phagocytosis, and adherence of murine macrophages in association with the ADP-ribosylation of actin.

NAD+ glycohydrolase (NADase; EC 3.2.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis of NAD+ to produce ADP-ribose and nicotinamide. Its physiological role and the regulation of its enzymic activity have not been fully elucidated. In the present study, the mechanism of self-inactivation of NADase by its substrate, NAD+, was investigated by using intact rabbit erythrocytes and purified NADase. Our results suggest that inactivation of NADase was due an auto-ADP-ribosylation reaction. ADP-ribosylated NADase of rabbit erythrocytes was deADP-ribosylated when incubated without NAD+, and thus enzyme activity was simultaneously restored. These findings suggest that reversible auto-ADP-ribosylation of NADase might regulate the enzyme's activity in vivo.

Abstract
Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an NAD metabolite, has been shown to be a messenger for Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular Ca2+ stores. However, the physiological role of ADP-ribose (ADPR), another metabolite of NAD, is not known. We examined the effects of cADPR and ADPR on the ATP-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) activity in rat ventricular myocytes by use of the inside-out patch-clamp configuration. ADPR, but not cADPR, inhibited the channel activity at micromolar range with an inhibitor constant (Ki) of 38.4 microM. The Hill coefficient was 0.9. ATP inhibited the K+ channel with a Ki of 77.8 microM, and the Hill coefficient was 1.8. Single-channel conductance was not affected by ADPR. These findings strongly suggest that ADPR may act as a regulator of KATP channel activity.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) catalyzes both 3'-donor processing and strand transfer reactions. Previous studies have determined that the N-terminal region, a putative zinc finger, is capable of binding Zn2+. The function of zinc coordination to this domain, however, is still unknown. In this report, we present evidence that Mg2+-dependent 3'-donor processing by HIV-1 IN is enhanced by the addition of Zn2+ in vitro. This activity is inhibited in the presence of the chelator 1,10-phenanthroline (OP). In addition, the Mg2+-dependent 3'-donor processing activity is more sensitive to the concentration of IN than is the Mn2+-dependent activity. A combination of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was found to further activate the Mg2+-dependent 3'-donor processing activity while diminishing the Mn2+-dependent activity. These results suggest factors such as substrate-length, concentration of IN, Zn2+ coordination, and protein-protein interactions are important for efficient and specific donor processing activity with Mg2+ in vitro.

Abstract
NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) is present in many organisms from bacteria to mammals. In any given organism, this enzyme is ubiquitous in many tissues. However, its precise localization and its physiological significance have not been defined. We have determined the distribution of NADase in normal human and rabbit tissues by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry, using a polyclonal antibody raised in goats. Immunoblot analyses revealed that NADase was highly expressed in the heart, lung, stomach, and liver tissues of the rabbit. From immunohistochemical studies of NADase, high concentrations in both human and rabbit tissues were found in hepatocytes and sinusoidal lining cells, sinus histiocytes of the lymph node, spleen and thymus, glomerular capillary endothelial cells of the kidney, cardiac muscle, endothelium of blood vessels, and erythrocytes.

Abstract
Human leukemic HL60 cells are known to express NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) activity following differentiation into macrophage-like cells by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or granulocyte-like cells by retinoic acid (RA) treatment. Recently, it was reported that 46 kDa human leukocyte antigen, CD38, expressed by RA-differentiated HL60 cells contained NADase, ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase activities. In the present study we questioned whether the NADase activity found in TPA-differentiated HL60 cells is similar to that found in RA-treated cells. Herein we demonstrate that, unlike what is observed following RA treatment, the NADase activity of TPA differentiated cells associates with a 65 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored NADase.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase (HIV-1 IN) catalyzes the integration of HIV-1 DNA into the host chromosome. In vitro reactions with endogenous viral DNA require Mg2+ as the metal cofactor, whereas in vitro studies performed with short oligonucleotide substrates utilize Mn2+. In this study, we report that the donor processing activity of HIV-1 IN alters depending on the structure and length of the oligonucleotide substrates. Increases in the length of the substrate cause alterations in the efficiency of Mg(2+)-dependent donor processing activity, thereby reconciling this discrepancy between the in vivo and in vitro HIV-1 IN mediated reactions. We have also found that the 3'-processing activity of HIV-IN is responsible for cleaving the junction between the viral and target sequences of the recombination intermediate. Its mechanism differs from the previously described disintegration reaction in that the donor strands are regenerated without a joining reaction of the target strands. Kinetic studies of 3'-processing activity suggest that the kcat (0.24/h) is very low. This implies that HIV-1 IN remains as a complex with the processed DNA prior to the strand transfer reaction.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 integrase (HIV-IN) is an enzyme essential for the integration of viral DNA into the host chromosome, a process that is an attractive target for drug development. In vitro assays have been developed to study both components of the integration process, the 3'-processing and strand transfer reactions. However, major discrepancies between results obtained from in vivo and in vitro events raise concerns as to the biological relevance of activities observed in vitro. These discrepancies include the size of the substrate and the nature of the divalent cation used. In this study, we characterized activities of HIV-IN with oligonucleotide substrates varying in length. Our previous studies indicate that the preferred cation in vitro for 3'-processing is altered from Mn2+ to Mg2+ by increasing the length of the oligonucleotide substrate. This study demonstrates that HIV-IN efficiently catalyzes Mg(2+)-dependent 3'-processing while repressing the strand transfer reaction. Substrate competition studies indicate that longer substrates preferentially bind to the viral DNA binding site of the integrase, whereas the shorter substrate has much less specificity. In addition, the shorter substrate requires a higher concentration of Mg2+, indicating that there is an alteration in the metal binding affinity associated with the varying substrates. Our results show that substrate-length-dependent differential activities are due to differences in the divalent metal binding and DNA binding affinities associated with the different substrates. These results suggest that the structure of the viral DNA is an important factor in differentiating the donor and target substrates.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Retroviruses require viral DNA to be synthesized by reverse transcription in the cytoplasm followed by integration of the resulting viral DNA into the host chromosome in the nucleus. Reverse transcription and integration, essential steps in the life cycle of retroviruses, are possible targets in the development of antiviral reagents. One attractive target is the integrase protein, a product of the retroviral pol gene which is solely responsible for the retroviral integration process through cutting and joining reactions. When screening for massive numbers of antiviral agents, a rapid and precise assay is ideal. We report the application of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) with fluorescein and eosin as the energy transfer pair to characterize HIV-IN-mediated DNA cleavage reactions. Past concerns with applications of FRET to DNA were due to interactions of the fluorophore with the DNA, resulting in quenched fluorescence. However, in this study these concerns have been resolved with the use of a nucleotide analog with a 12-carbon linker arm, 5-amino (12)-2'-deoxyuridine beta-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite. Steady-state fluorescence studies show that cleavage of the fluorogenic substrate by integrase results in enhancement of quenched donor fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence assay was confirmed by autoradiographic analysis of the cleavage reaction with radiolabeled fluorogenic substrate. This fluorescence assay will facilitate both detailed kinetic studies and the rapid screening of novel integrase inhibitors.

Abstract
We have previously shown that an ectoenzyme, NAD glycohydrolase (NADase) could be solubilized by treatment with bacterial phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C (PIPLC). However, it is unknown whether endogenous PIPLC can cleave this ectoenzyme. In this study, we used mouse peritoneal exudate macrophages which have been known to have relatively high activity of NADase. The results show that release of ecto-NADase was markedly increased when mouse peritoneal macrophages were costimulated with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), compared to unstimulated cells. This increase was preceded by markedly enhanced activity of endogenous glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase C (GPIPLC). The cross-reacting determinant (CRD) of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor in released NADase from activated macrophages was detected by immunoblotting with anti-CRD antibody. Taken together, ecto-NADase is release from peritoneal exudate macrophages during IFN-gamma/LPS-induced activation and endogenous GPIPLC is involved in the NADase release from the activated macrophages.

Abstract
Fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides and DNA fragments have promise in nucleic acid research with applications that include DNA hybridization, automated DNA sequencing, fluorescence anisotropy, and resonance energy transfer studies. Past concerns with fluorescent-labeled DNA arose from interactions between fluorophores and DNA that result in quenched fluorescence. This quenching phenomenon is most problematic in fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies because quenching of the donor fluorescence could result from either resonance energy transfer or nontransfer effects. In the present study, relief of nontransfer quenching of a 14-mer fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled oligonucleotide containing the BamHI restriction site was characterized with both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. The FITC-labeled single strand was best fit by a triexponential decay with lifetimes of 0.5, 2.7, and 4.2 ns. The 4.2-ns component was found to contribute more than 80% of the total steady-state intensity. Upon annealing with an unmodified complementary strand, the contribution from the 4.2-ns component was significantly decreased, resulting in twofold quenching of total fluorescence. We reasoned that this quenching phenomenon should be a reversible process and could be employed to study strand separation processes in molecular biology. Hence, cleavage of the fluorescently labeled substrate was examined using DNAase I and BamHI restriction endonuclease. Our results show that the quenched fluorescence is totally recovered upon cleavage (compared to that of the single strand). The extent of cleavage measured by fluorescence was confirmed by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. We believe this fluorescence "dequenching" technique may be used to quantify the kinetics of other DNA strand separation and cleavage processes in molecular biology.
