Abstract
A major impediment to the effective use of adenovirus vectors for gene therapy is a lack of knowledge of how these vectors interact with diverse cell types in vivo. Adenovirus attachment to most human cell types is mediated by the fiber protein, which binds to an as yet unidentified cell receptor. In contrast to this, we report that adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) attachment to hematopoietic cells is facilitated by interaction of the penton base protein with members of the beta2 integrin family. Adenovirus particles were capable of binding to human monocytic cells, which lack fiber receptors, and virus binding could be blocked by a soluble penton base or by a function-blocking monoclonal antibody to integrin alphaMbeta2. To confirm the role of alphaMbeta2 integrins in Ad2 binding to hematopoietic cells, we analyzed virus attachment and gene delivery to CHO cells expressing recombinant beta2 integrins. alphaMbeta2-expressing CHO cells supported 3- to 5-fold-higher levels of Ad2 binding and 5- to 10-fold-larger amounts of gene delivery than did nontransfected CHO cells, indicating that alphaMbeta2 facilitates adenovirus attachment to and infection of hematopoietic cells. While beta2 integrins promote Ad2 attachment to hematopoietic cells, further studies demonstrated that alphav integrins were required for the next step in infection, virus internalization into cell endosomes. These studies reveal a novel pathway of Ad2 infection of hematopoietic cells mediated by distinct integrins which facilitate separate events in virus entry. They also suggest a possible strategy for selective adenovirus-mediated gene delivery to hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
An acute and direct effect of epinephrine (Epi) on muscle proteolysis was investigated using a single-pass mode of rat hindquarter perfusion. The rate of tyrosine (Tyr) release at > 30 min with cycloheximide was regarded as the muscle proteolytic rate. Infusion of Epi (500 nM) to the hindquarters of fed rats led to a sharp decrease in the Tyr release to 50% within 5 min, accompanied by an increase in perfusion pressure and edema around the perfused tissues. To clarify the mechanism, alpha- and beta-antagonists were used together with Epi. A mixture of 10 microM prazosin and 10 microM yohimbine (alpha-adrenergic blockade) before or after Epi infusion completely prevented the edema development and resulted in a new steady state to 80% of the initial rate. On the contrary, 100 microM propranolol (a beta-antagonist) with Epi did not abolish the edema and caused fluctuation in Tyr release. Whether the above results are affected by changes in Tyr transport at the plasma membrane was tested by measuring Tyr efflux from the perfused muscle. Only a beta-adrenergic blockade significantly reduced the rate constant of Tyr efflux from the intracellular pool by 13%. These results suggested that the suppression of Tyr release by alpha-adrenergic activity was mainly due to the effect on Tyr efflux, whereas that by beta-adrenergic activity was not at the Tyr transport level but at the proteolysis level, demonstrating that Epi directly inhibits proteolysis of skeletal muscle via the beta-adrenoceptor.

Abstract
mSOS, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, is a positive regulator of Ras. Fyn tyrosine protein kinase is a potential mediator in T-cell antigen receptor signal transduction in subsets of T cells. We investigated the functional and physical interaction between mSOS and Fyn in T-cell hybridoma cells. Stimulation of the T-cell antigen receptor induced the activation of guanine nucleotide exchange activity in mSOS immunoprecipitates. Overexpression of Fyn mutants with an activated kinase mutation and with a Src homology 2 deletion mutation resulted in a stimulation and suppression of the mSOS activity, respectively. The complex formations of Fyn-Shc, Shc-Grb2, and Grb2-mSOS were detected in the activated Fyn-transformed cells, whereas the SH2 deletion mutant of Fyn failed to form a complex with mSOS. Moreover, tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc was induced by the overexpression of the activated Fyn. These findings support the idea that Fyn activates the activity of mSOS bound to Grb2 through tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc. Unlike the current prevailing model, Fyn-induced activation of Ras might involve the stimulation of the catalytic guanine nucleotide exchange activity of mSOS.

Abstract
Integrin alpha 4 beta 1 is a receptor for vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and fibronectin (CS-1). The alpha 4 beta 1-ligand interaction is involved in the pathogenesis of diseases and is, therefore, a therapeutic target. Here, we identified critical residues of alpha 4 for ligand binding using alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the previously localized putative ligand binding sites (residues 108-268). Among 43 mutations tested, mutations of Tyr187, Trp188 and Gly190 significantly inhibited cell adhesion to both VCAM-1 and CS-1. This inhibition was not due to any gross structural changes of alpha 4 beta 1. These critical residues are clustered in a predicted beta-turn structure (residues 181-190) of the third N-terminal repeat in alpha 4. The repeat does not contain divalent cation binding motifs. Notably, the mutations within the corresponding region of alpha 5 significantly reduced fibronectin-alpha 5 beta 1 interaction. These findings suggest that the predicted beta-turn structure could be ubiquitously involved in ligand binding of non-I domain integrins.

Abstract
Macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) is a chemotactic factor that activates the receptor tyrosine kinase RON. The involvement of Ras in MSP-induced signal transduction was investigated. Here we demonstrate that, in RON-transfected MDCK cells, an active GTP-bound form of Ras was rapidly accumulated by MSP treatment and the Ras-guanine nucleotide exchange activity in SOS immunoprecipitates was concomitantly increased. GAP activity was not changed under the same conditions used. Furthermore, the SH2 domain of adaptor protein GRB2, but not Shc, associated with the activated RON-beta chain, and GRB2-SOS complexes translocated from the cytosol to the membrane upon MSP treatment. These results strongly suggest that MSP activates Ras through RON, and that MSP-induced activation of Ras might be controlled by both the enhancement of catalytic exchange activity of SOS and its translocation to the membrane where its target Ras is localized.

Abstract
We reported a 30-year-old woman with variegate porphyria. Family history disclosed that her mother had the same skin lesions as the present case. She has had repeated vesicles and brownish pigmentation on her upper extremities since eighteen years of age. Recently she was suffering from common cold, and was treated with drugs. One week later, she started to develop weakness and dysesthesia in all limbs, hallucination, and urinary disturbance. Three weeks later, she was admitted to our hospital because she could not stand any more. On general examination, she had brownish pigmentations and crusts in hands and forearms. Neurologically she had moderate weakness, dysesthesia and hyperreflexia in all limbs. Urine was dark-red. Head and cervical MRI was normal. Nerve conduction studies and somatosensory evoked potentials were within normal limits. Excretion of porphyrins, especially protoporphyrin and X-porphyrin in the feces were markedly increased, and the diagnosis of variegate porphyria was made. Intravenous administration of glucose was effective and her symptoms began to improve in two weeks after her admission. However, recovery of weakness took two months and dysesthesia did not disappear in three months. We considered that her clinical manifestations were caused by involvement of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Abstract
We report a recently encountered case of vascular leiomyoma in the larynx. The patient was a 76-year-old man with a chief complaint of hoarseness. Laryngoscopy revealed a bean-sized, reddish tumor with a smooth surface, suspended from the right vocal cord toward the subglottis. Its border was clear on MR imaging. Tracheotomy was performed under local anesthesia, and laryngomicrosurgery was then carried out under general anesthesia. The tumor was encapsulated and could be completely resected. Histological study indicated smooth muscule cell proliferation, especially around capillaries, and the tumor was diagnosed as a vascular leiomyoma. Our extensive survey of the literature revealed 20 reports of benign myogenic tumor of the larynx (9 cases of simple leiomyoma, 10 of vascular leiomyoma, and 1 of leiomyoblastoma), many of which occurred in the middle and advanced years. The patients consisted of 15 men and 5 women, including 9 male vascular leiomyoma patients of middle or advanced age. The site of occurrence was supraglottic in 12, glottic in 4 and subglottic in 4; no relation was observed with the histological picture, however. Treatment was surgical, and some cases also required tracheotomy depending on the site of occurrence and morphology.

Abstract
Integrins mediate signal transduction through interactions with multiple cellular or extracellular matrix ligands. Evidence is accumulating that the I (or A) domain, a approximately 200-residue inserted sequence in some integrin alpha subunits, mediates ligand binding. We have previously shown that Thr-221 of the putative ligand binding sites within alpha 2 I domain of alpha 2 beta 1 is critical for binding to collagen (Kamata, T., and Takada, Y. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 26006-26010). Here we report that the mutation of Thr-206 of alpha L blocks intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) binding to alpha L beta 2 and mutation of Thr-209 of alpha M blocks ICAM-1 and C3bi binding to alpha M beta 2. The data indicate the Thr residues of alpha M and alpha L corresponding to Thr-221 of alpha 2 are critically involved in the ligand interaction with beta 2 integrins. The mutations of the Asp-137 and Asp-239 of alpha L also block ICAM-1 binding to alpha L beta 2, as do the corresponding Asp residues of alpha 2 or alpha M in collagen/alpha 2 beta 1 or C3bi/alpha M beta 2 interactions, respectively. These data suggest that these Thr and Asp residues, conserved among I domains, are critical for interaction with structurally distinct ligands (e.g. ICAMs, C3bi, and collagen).

Abstract
The present study was undertaken on 10 patients with angina undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The angioplasty procedure consisted of two successive 30-second balloon inflations at 5 minute intervals. After the first inflation, nicorandil (0.1 mg/kg) was given intravenously over a 2-minute period. The second inflation was then performed 3 minutes after the completion of drug administration. Myocardial ischemia was measured as the magnitude of ST-segment elevation on the intracoronary electrocardiogram (intracoronary ECG) recorded from the guidewire. Nicorandil significantly reduced the magnitude of ST-segment elevation. Nicorandil did not change the heart rate-blood pressure product, nor the oxygen saturation of the blood sampled from the great cardiac vein, nor the velocity of coronary blood flow in those patients with no evidence of collaterals. These results favor the conclusion that nicorandil prolongs the intrinsic ability of cardiac myocyte to withstand oxygen deprivation. This salutary effect is possibly due to a direct cellular mechanism because nicorandil did not modify the peripheral and coronary hemodynamic parameters that govern myocardial oxygen consumption.

Abstract
We studied a 66-year-old man with a myeloproliferative disorder who presented with a prolonged bleeding time and marked thrombocytosis (platelet count, 3,890 x 10(9)/l). There was no past history of a bleeding disorder. The patient had normal coagulation data. His platelets completely lacked collagen-induced platelet aggregation and adhesion, but showed normal responses to other agonists. All family members tested showed normal platelet aggregation with collagen. Analysis of 125I surface-labeled platelets by two-dimensional SDS gel electrophoresis disclosed absence of the spot corresponding to platelet membrane GPIa (alpha 2) but no other significant deficiencies of major platelet glycoproteins i.e., GPIb, IIb-IIIa, and IV. Immunoisolation studies of the patient's platelets indicated that neither anti-GPIa nor anti-GPIIa (beta 1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) isolated any surface membrane proteins corresponding to GPIa. GPVI, a putative collagen receptor, was immunoisolated from the platelets. Indirect immunofluorescence study using flow cytometry confirmed that the patient's platelets were totally deficient in surface expression of the GPIa-IIa complex (alpha 2 beta 1 integrin). In contrast, phytohemoagglutinin-activated T-lymphocytes from the patient expressed normal concentrations of this complex. The data suggest that our patient had an acquired deficiency of the platelet GPIa-IIa complex, due to a myeloproliferative disorder, which might account for the absence of responsiveness of his platelet to collagen.

Abstract
Integrin alpha 4 beta 1 recognizes both fibronectin (CS-1 sequence) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). To localize the ligand-binding sites of alpha 4, we located the epitopes for function-blocking anti-alpha 4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including those that recognize previously described (but not yet physically localized) functional epitopes (A, B1, B2 and C) using interspecies alpha 4 chimeras expressed in mammalian cells. Epitopes B1 and B2 were associated with ligand binding, and epitopes A and B2 with homotypic cellular aggregation. mAbs P4C2 (epitope B2), 20E4 and PS/2 were mapped within residues 108-182; mAbs HP2/1 (epitope B1), SG/73 and R1-2 within residues 195-268; mAbs HP1/3 (epitope A) and P4G9 within residues 1-52; and B5G10 (epitope C) within residues 269-548. The data suggest that residues 108-268, which do not include bivalent-cation-binding motifs, are related to VCAM-1 and CS-1 binding, and more N-terminal portions of alpha 4 (residues 1 and 52 and 108-182) to homotypic aggregation. Since mAbs PS/2 and HP2/1 block alpha 4 beta 7 binding to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1), the MAdCAM-1-binding site is close to, or overlapping with, VCAM-1- and CS-1-binding sites. The role of Asp-130 of beta 1 in the binding to VCAM-1 and CS-1 peptide was examined. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing beta 1 (D130A) (Asp-130 to Ala mutant of beta 1) and alpha 4 showed much less binding to both ligands than CHO cells expressing wild-type beta 1 and alpha 4 [a dominant negative effects of beta 1 (D130A)], suggesting that Asp-130 of beta 1 is critical for binding to both ligands and that the two ligand share common binding mechanisms [corrected].

Abstract
Carbohydrate epitopes of glycoconjugates are expressed on sensory neurons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG). A possible role of antibodies directed at carbohydrate determinants of the glycoconjugates has been suggested in some patients with sensory neuropathy. We investigated expression of blood group antigen-related epitopes in human DRG immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies to A, B, and H antigens. A blood group B determinant [Gal alpha 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-2)Gal beta-]-related glycoepitope was demonstrated in the neurons and surrounding satellite cells of DRG obtained from subjects with any ABO blood group phenotype. The treatment with trypsin or chloroform/methanol prior to the immunostaining suggested that the glycoconjugate exhibiting the blood group B determinant-related epitope consisted mainly of glycoprotein and included glycolipid. The glycoconjugates with the blood group B determinant-related epitope may play a role in the physiological function and pathophysiology of human DRG neurons.

Abstract
Integrin alpha 2 beta 1 is a major divalent cation-dependent receptor for collagen. Here, we show that the recombinant inserted/interactive domain (I domain) of alpha 2 specifically interacts with collagen, indicating the I domain contains all the components necessary for collagen binding. Evidence was obtained that divalent cations are not required for collagen binding to the I domain fragment, indicating that divalent cations are not involved in the actual binding to collagen but probably in the regulation of the binding. We identified Thr-221 within the previously identified putative ligand binding region as a residue critical for collagen binding to both alpha 2 beta 1 and the I domain fragment. Thr-221 may be involved in the actual collagen binding and recognition.

Abstract
It was investigated whether nizofenone, 2'-chloro-2-(2-diethylaminomethyl-1- imidazolyl)-5-nitrobenzophenone fumarate, shows neuroprotective effect by inhibiting glutamate release and lactate accumulation in rats. Nizofenone (10 mg/kg i.p.) significantly inhibited neuronal cell death in the hippocampus CA1 pyramidal cells 7 days after 15 min of ischemia caused by 4-vessel occlusion. The extracellular level of glutamate and lactate increased in the hippocampus during ischemia. Upon reperfusion, the glutamate level decreased rapidly but, in contrast, the lactate level increased further and reached a maximum at 15 min following reperfusion. Nizofenone (10 mg/kg i.p.) completely inhibited the ischemic glutamate increase and post-ischemic lactate increase. These results suggest that the inhibition of ischemic release of glutamate and post-ischemic accumulation of lactate could contribute greatly to the neuroprotective effect of nizofenone.

Abstract
Treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) was associated with rapid improvement in hemostatic markers. We made serial analyses of various hemostatic parameters in seven newly diagnosed APL patients. In all patients at diagnosis, plasma fibrinogen/fibrin degradation product (fragment-E), cross-linked fibrin degradation product (D-dimer fragment), thrombin-antithrombin III complex and plasmin-alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor complex were elevated, indicating the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Antithrombin III (ATIII) levels were normal in all patients except for the patient with congenital ATIII deficiency. In four patients subsequently treated with ATRA without anticoagulant therapy, these hemostatic markers returned to near-normal levels by day 7 of treatment, indicating that DIC was essentially resolved. By contrast, in three patients who received conventional chemotherapy with a continuous low-dose heparin, improvement of coagulopathy was slower than in patients treated with ATRA. These results suggest that ATRA therapy exerts the rapid improvement in abnormal hemostatic markers in APL patients without any anticoagulant therapies, by inducing differentiation of leukemic cells and, in turns no massive release of procoagulant or fibrinolytic substances from these cells.

Abstract
In spite of recent advances in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer by mass screening, gastric stump cancers following gastrectomy are still diagnosed at a highly advanced stage, and the surgical results remain very poor. Involvement of the fourth level lymph node stations, local peritoneal carcinomatosis and tumor growth invading the neighboring organs are frequently observed in advanced stump cancers. With the aim of achieving complete resection of these tumors, left upper abdominal evisceration (LUAE) + R4 gastrectomy was performed in 29 patients (Group B) with stump cancer as a radical surgical procedure. The survival of these patients was compared with that of 74 patients (Group A) who underwent total gastrectomy with or without pancreaticosplenectomy. Duration of surgery blood loss, and incidence of postoperative complications were similar with the two methods. When the survival rates were compared, the 5-year-survival rate in stage IV cases was higher for Group B than for Group A. LUAE + R4 gastrectomy is a rational technique for the surgical treatment of stage IV gastric stump cancer.

Abstract
Integrin alpha 2 beta 1 is a cell surface adhesion receptor for collagen and echovirus 1. Here we localized the epitopes for anti-alpha 2 monoclonal antibodies using interspecies (human/bovine) alpha 2 chimeras with different lengths of human alpha 2 sequence on the amino-terminal side and site-directed mutagenesis. The antibodies that block the collagen and/or echovirus 1 binding to human alpha 2 beta 1 (6F1, RMAC11, 12F1, and AA10) recognizes a small region (residues 173-259) within the I domain. Asp-160 and Arg-242 are critical for binding of the two other function-inhibiting antibodies, P1H5 and 5E8, respectively. Notably, mutations of Asp-151 and Asp-254 block the binding of alpha 2 beta 1 to collagen. These data suggest that the I domain (residues 140-359) is critically involved in the ligand/receptor interactions, and collagen and echovirus 1 binding sites are adjacent or overlapping within the I domain. The sequence of the residues 173-259 of alpha 2 overlap with the peptide sequences (M11 and M20) that derive from von Willebrand factor A1 and A3 domains (homologous to the alpha 2 I domain) and block von Willebrand factor/collagen interaction, suggesting that the epitope region of alpha 2 (residues 173-259) may really be involved in ligand recognition.

Abstract
A 55-year-old man developed multiple erythematous skin lesions after surgery for acoustic neurinoma. Necrosis and detachment of the epidermis developed and a diagnosis of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) was made. Progressive dyspnea was evident two days after the onset of the skin lesions. Chest X-ray revealed diffuse interstitial shadows in both lung fields. On bronchoscopic examination, erosion, vesicle formation, necrosis and desquamation of the epidermis were seen in the tracheobronchial mucosa. Therapy, including prednisolone, improved the skin lesions as well as the chest X-ray and bronchoscopic findings. Tracheobronchial and pulmonary lesions were followed before, during and after treatment of TEN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food ingestion sometimes induces systemic hypotension (postprandial hypotension). Although the possibility of stroke occurring postprandially has been suggested, no cases have been reported until now. CASE DESCRIPTION A 78-year-old man experienced repeated transient ischemic attacks after almost every ingestion of food and showed orthostatic and postprandial hypotension. An angiogram revealed occlusion of his left carotid artery and stenosis of his right middle cerebral artery. CONCLUSIONS Postprandial as well as orthostatic hypotension can be a risk factor for stroke in patients with severe occlusive cerebrovascular disease.
