Abstract
Abstract
Despite its critical role in cancer metastasis the molecular mechanisms regulating breast cancer cells transendothelial migration are poorly understood, but clearly depend on the invasive capacity of tumor cells and their ability to breach the endothelial cell barrier. Vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) is found specifically in the endothelial cell adherens junction and has been implicated in playing a fundamental role in controlling the transport across the endothelial barrier. Tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin has been implicated in the disruption of endothelial cells adherens junctions and diapedesis of metastatic cancer cells. We tested this hypothesis that interaction of breast cancer cells with endothelial cells initiates the signal transductions that disrupt the endothelium barrier integrity. Our studies demonstrated that the attachment of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells to Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and the formation of gaps between endothelial cells. These were accompanied by activation of two tyrosine kinases, Src and proline rich tyrosine kinase (Pyk-2). In addition, immunoprecipitation studies indicated that the endothelial cells adherens junction structure was disrupted through MDA-MB-231-induced dissociation of VE-cadherin and β-catenin complex. Activation of RhoA and HRas by over expression of constitutively active forms of the genes leads to tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and Pyk-2 in HUVECs. Over expression of dominant negative forms of RhoA, HRas, Raf and ERK2 but not Rac1 and Cdc42 attenuated breast cancer cell-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and Pyk-2 in HUVECs. Indicating that breast cancer cell-induced VE-cadherin tyrosine phosphorylation and disruption of adherens junction in endothelial cells is mediated by RhoA and HRas\Raf\MEK\ERK signaling cascade. Understanding the precise molecular mechanisms that facilitate breast cancer cells transendothelial migration could develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting cancer cell metastasis by improving the protective role of endothelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lapatinib (GW572016) is a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/ErbB2), which are reported as overexpressed in 15%-45% of gastric cancers, making them potential targets. PATIENTS AND METHODS The primary objective of this study was to assess response rate. Secondary objectives included overall survival (OS), toxicity, and the relationship of EGFR, ErbB2, and markers of angiogenesis with clinical outcome. Lapatinib was administered to chemonaive metastatic gastric cancer patients at a dose of 1500 mg orally daily for 28 days. RESULTS The study enrolled 47 patients from February 2005 until May 2006. Four patients (9%) had a confirmed partial response (PR), 1 (2%) had an unconfirmed PR, and 10 (23%) had stable disease. Median (95% confidence interval) time to treatment failure was 1.9 (1.6-3.1) months and OS was 4.8 (3.2-7.4) months. Significant adverse events: one grade 4 cardiac ischemia/infarction, one grade 4 fatigue, and one grade 4 emesis. One treatment-related death was due to central nervous system ischemia. An exploratory analysis of markers revealed gene expression of HER2, interleukin (IL)-8 and genomic polymorphisms IL-8, and vascular endothelial growth factor correlated with OS. CONCLUSIONS Lapatinib is well tolerated, with modest single-agent activity in advanced/metastatic gastric cancer patients. Potential molecular correlatives were identified which warrant further validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vitro islet expansion has recently drawn interest for its potential application in diabetes therapy, while how islet cells adapt to in vitro circumstances is not quite clear. AIM Proteomics changes of cultivated islet cells under different conditions were examined in this study. MATERIAL/SUBJECTS AND METHODS A comparative proteomics study was performed on fresh isolated islet cells, cultured cells and in vitro proliferating islet cells stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor via electrophoresis and liquid chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry. RESULTS In total, 1897 proteins were identified in this study. Hierarchical analysis revealed substantial changes in the proteome during cultivation but relatively less difference between different culture conditions. Over 100 proteins showed significantly different expression levels between groups, most of which are involved in metabolism or cell process pathways. Overall, the detected proteins were involved in 152 known pathways. Furthermore, in-depth investigation suggested that some proteins, such as extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases and Rac, might play key roles in the proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation of in vitro cultured islet cells. CONCLUSION We established comparative proteome references of fresh and cultured islet cells, which could provide useful information for future islet transplantation strategy.

Abstract
Various feline APOBEC3 (fA3) proteins exhibit broad antiviral activities against a wide range of viruses, such as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline foamy virus (FFV), and feline leukemia virus (FeLV), as well as those of other species. This activity can be counteracted by the FIV Vif protein, but the mechanism by which FIV Vif suppresses fA3s is unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that FIV Vif could act via a proteasome-dependent pathway to overcome fA3s. FIV Vif interacted with feline cellular proteins Cullin5 (Cul5), ElonginB, and ElonginC to form an E3 complex to induce degradation of fA3s. Both the dominant-negative Cul5 mutant and a C-terminal hydrophilic replacement ElonginC mutant potently disrupted the FIV Vif activity against fA3s. Furthermore, we identified a BC-box motif in FIV Vif that was essential for the recruitment of E3 ubiquitin ligase and also required for FIV Vif-mediated degradation of fA3s. Moreover, despite the lack of either a Cul5-box or a HCCH zinc-binding motif, FIV Vif specifically selected Cul5. Therefore, FIV Vif may interact with Cul5 via a novel mechanism. These finding imply that SOCS proteins may possess distinct mechanisms to bind Cul5 during formation of the Elongin-Cullin-SOCS box complex.

Abstract
A void in understanding primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is the absence of appropriate animal models. Our laboratory has studied a murine model of autoimmune cholangitis induced following immunization with 2-octynoic acid (2OA), an antigen identified following extensive quantitative structural activity relationship (QSAR) analysis, using human autoantibodies and three-dimensional analysis of the mitochondrial autoantigen, the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2). Mice immunized with 2OA coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) develop anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) of the identical specificity as humans with PBC, and in addition develop inflammatory portal cell infiltrates in liver. However, the natural history of disease is less severe than in humans and does not include fibrosis. Data from human and autoimmune murine models suggest that environmental and/or infectious agents can exacerbate autoimmune reactions, and a model of PBC has been described in which polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), a viral RNA mimetic and Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR-3) agonist induces low-titre AMAs and in mild portal infiltrates. We took advantage of our established model to determine whether immunization with 2OA-BSA coupled with poly I:C alters the disease process. Indeed, the addition of poly I:C produces a profound exacerbation of autoimmune cholangitis, including a significant increase in CD8(+) infiltrating T cells, as well as a marked increase of proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, mice have evidence of fibrosis. These findings lend support to the concept that besides breakdown of self-tolerance, there is a requirement of a second 'hit' during the breakdown process that leads to disease which more faithfully mimics human PBC.

Abstract
This work investigates the effects of asymmetric cross-sectional geometry on the resonant response of silicon nanowires. The work demonstrates that dimensional variances of less than 2% qualitatively alter a nanosystem's near-resonant response, yielding a non-Lorentzian frequency response structure, which is a direct consequence of resonant mode splitting. Experimental results show that this effect is independent of device boundary conditions, and can be easily modeled using continuous beam theory. Proper understanding of this phenomenon is believed to be essential in the characterization of the dynamic response of resonant nanowire systems, and thus the predictive design of such devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although knee injury has been implicated as a risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), there is great disparity in the magnitude of quantifiable risk. Our aim was to systematically review the relationship between history of knee injuries and knee OA. METHODS Six electronic databases were searched between August and October 2010. Relative risk estimates or odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were extracted or calculated from observational studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Publication bias was determined using funnel plot and the Egger's test. Heterogeneity was examined using Cochran Q test and I(2) statistic. Random effects model was used to pool the heterogeneous results and OR was used to present the results. Subgroup analyses were performed to examine potential causes of heterogeneity. RESULTS Twenty-four observational studies (20,997 subjects) were included in the meta-analysis of which there were seven cohort, five cross-sectional and 12 case-control studies. The overall pooled OR was 4.20 (95% CI 3.11-5.66, I(2) = 81.0%). Association between history of knee injuries and knee OA was significantly different for specified injuries such as ligament or tendon injuries; meniscus damage or meniscectomy; and fracture of femur, knee or lower part of the leg (OR = 5.95, 95% 4.57-7.75), compared to unspecified injuries (OR = 3.12, 95% 2.17-4.50). CONCLUSION History of knee injury is a major risk factor for the development of knee OA irrespective of study design and definition of knee injury. As one of the few modifiable/preventable risk factors, knee injury should be part of the future prevention programme in reducing the risk of knee OA.

Abstract
We demonstrate contradirectional couplers in silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides using a CMOS compatible technology, in which a periodic dielectric perturbation is introduced in the coupling region between two different-sized rib waveguides. This structure enables high fabrication tolerances for narrow-bandwidth add-drop filters, using commercially available deep-ultraviolet lithography, that do not suffer from having a free spectral range. The simulation using coupled-mode theory and mode-profile calculations shows good agreement with experiment. A narrow bandwidth of 0.35 nm and a low loss of less than 1 dB have been achieved experimentally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lapatinib plus capecitabine emerged as an efficacious therapy in metastatic breast cancer (mBC). We aimed to identify germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in capecitabine catabolism and human epidermal receptor signaling that were associated with clinical outcome to assist in selecting patients likely to benefit from this combination. PATIENTS AND METHODS DNA was extracted from 240 of 399 patients enrolled in EGF100151 clinical trial (NCT00078572; clinicaltrials.gov) and SNPs were successfully evaluated in 234 patients. The associations between SNPs and clinical outcome were analyzed using Fisher's exact test, Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank tests, likelihood ratio test within logistic or Cox regression model, as appropriate. RESULTS There were significant interactions between CCND1 A870G and clinical outcome. Patients carrying the A-allele were more likely to benefit from lapatinib plus capecitabine versus capecitabine when compared with patients harboring G/G (P = 0.022, 0.024 and 0.04, respectively). In patients with the A-allele, the response rate (RR) was significantly higher with lapatinib plus capecitabine (35%) compared with capecitabine (11%; P = 0.001) but not between treatments in patients with G/G (RR = 24% and 32%, respectively; P = 0.85). Time to tumor progression (TTP) was longer in patients with the A-allele treated with lapatinib plus capecitabine compared with capecitabine (median TTP = 7.9 and 3.4 months; P < 0.001), but not in patients with G/G (median TTP = 6.1 and 6.6 months; P = 0.92). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that CCND1A870G may be useful in predicting clinical outcome in HER2-positive mBC patients treated with lapatinib plus capecitabine.
