Abstract
Results from epidemiological studies suggest that there is an association between periodontitis and prediabetes, however, causality is not known. The results from our previous studies suggest that induction of periodontitis leads to hyperinsulinemia glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, all hallmarks of prediabetes. However, global effects of periodontitis on critical organs in terms of metabolic alterations are unknown. We determined the metabolic effects of periodontitis on brain, liver, heart and plasma resulting from Porphyromonas gingivalis induced periodontitis in mice. Periodontitis was induced by oral application of the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis for 22 weeks. Global untargeted biochemical profiles in samples from these organs/plasma were determined by liquid and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and compared between controls and animals with periodontitis. Oral application of Porphyromonas gingivalis induced chronic periodontitis and hallmarks of prediabetes. The results of sample analyses indicated a number of changes in metabolic readouts, including changes in metabolites related to glucose and arginine metabolism, inflammation and redox homeostasis. Changes in biochemicals suggested subtle systemic effects related to periodontal disease, with increases in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress most prominent in the liver. Signs of changes in redox homeostasis were also seen in the brain and heart. Elevated bile acids in liver were suggestive of increased biosynthesis, which may reflect changes in liver function. Interestingly, signs of decreasing glucose availability were seen in the brain. In all three organs and plasma, there was a significant increase in the microbiome-derived bioactive metabolite 4-ethylphenylsulfate sulfate in animals with periodontitis. The results of metabolic profiling suggest that periodontitis/bacterial products alter metabolomic signatures of brain, heart, liver, and plasma in the prediabetic state. These data provide scientific community valuable metabolic signatures that become the basis for understanding the impact of periodontitis on a systemic disease and potentially targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
AIM To study how paclitaxel treatment modifies the accumulation of tumor-diagnostic radiotracers in P-glycoprotein (P-gp) positive and negative cancer cells. METHODS The accumulations of different P-gp substrates, including rhodamine 123, daunorubicin and [(99m)Tc]hexakis-2-methoxybutyl isonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI), were measured in P-gp-positive (A2780AD) and P-gp-negative human ovarian carcinoma cells (A2780) and JY human lymphoid B cells. The uptakes of the tumor-diagnostic tracers (11)C-choline and 2-[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ((18)FDG) were measured in the same cell lines. The P-gp expression and function were demonstrated by flow-cytometry. RESULTS The (18)FDG measurements revealed that the glucose metabolic rate was significantly higher (p<0.01) in the P-gp-positive A2780AD cells than in the P-gp-negative cells. Paclitaxel (1-70microM) increased the (18)FDG uptake (up to 200%) of both P-gp-positive and P-gp-negative cells, whereas it did not modulate their (11)C-choline uptake. Paclitaxel reinstated the (99m)Tc-MIBI accumulation of the A2780AD cells (to 1500% of the control) in a concentration-dependent manner, while it increased the uptake of the P-gp-negative cells to a lesser extent (to a maximum of 200% of the control). CONCLUSION Paclitaxel modifies the uptake of tumor-diagnostic tracers in both P-gp-dependent and independent manners. Interpretation of the multifactorial effects of paclitaxel may promote a correct in vivo diagnosis of P-gp-positive and P-gp-negative tumors.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperglycemia is an early indicator of abnormality in glucose metabolism leading to type 2 diabetes. However, mechanisms that contribute to postprandial hyperglycemia have not been identified. This study showed that mice with targeted inactivation of the group 1B phospholipase A2 (Pla2g1b) gene displayed lower postprandial glycemia than that observed in wild-type mice after being fed a glucose-rich meal. The difference was caused by enhanced postprandial glucose uptake by the liver, heart, and muscle tissues as well as altered postprandial hepatic glucose metabolism in the Pla2g1b-/- mice. These differences were attributed to a fivefold decrease in the amount of dietary phospholipids absorbed as lysophospholipids in Pla2g1b-/- mice compared with that observed in Pla2g1b+/+ mice. Elevating plasma lysophospholipid levels in Pla2g1b-/- mice via intraperitoneal injection resulted in glucose intolerance similar to that exhibited by Pla2g1b+/+ mice. Studies with cultured hepatoma cells revealed that lysophospholipids dose-dependently suppressed insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis. These results demonstrated that reduction of lysophospholipid absorption enhances insulin-mediated glucose metabolism and is protective against postprandial hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Miltefosine is a phospholipid analog that exhibits antineoplastic activity against breast cancer metastases, but its mechanism of action remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the transport mechanism for the removal of miltefosine and [99mTc]-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) from multidrug-resistant cells. The P-glycoprotein pump function, cell viability, and 99mTc-MIBI and 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) uptakes were measured in NIH 3T3 (3T3) and NIH 3T3MDR1 G185 (3T3MDR1) mouse fibroblasts and human lymphoid B JY cells. Miltefosine treatment increased the permeability and fluidity of these tumor cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The multidrug-sensitive cells were 3-4 times more sensitive to miltefosine than the multidrug-resistant ones. The extent of 99mTc-MIBI accumulation in the P-glycoprotein-expressing cells increased in the presence of miltefosine, whereas the rhodamine123 and daunorubicin uptakes of the cells did not change significantly. In the 3T3MDR1 cells verapamil reinstated the rhodamine123 and daunorubicin accumulation, but not the 99mTc-MIBI uptake. Cyclosporin A reinstated the uptakes of 99mTc-MIBI, daunorubicin and rhodamine123 by the 3T3MDR1 cells. In a concentration-dependent manner miltefosine decreased the extents of 99mTc-MIBI, rhodamine123, daunorubicin and 18FDG accumulation in the JY and 3T3 cells. Our findings indicate a common transport mechanism for 99mTc-MIBI and miltefosine, which is distinct from that for rhodamine123 and daunorubicin in MDR cells.

Abstract
This study reports the results of an investigation to determine to what extent the influence of membrane lipids on the human erythrocyte sugar transporter protein activity (Caruthers, A. and Melchior, D.L. (1988) Annu. Rev. Physiol. 50, 257-271) is related to lipid/protein associations in the membrane bilayer. Differential scanning calorimetry was carried out on the human erythrocyte transport protein reconstituted into artificial bilayers formed from preselected lipids. it was found that the transport protein displays a preferential and in some cases strongly preferential affinity for specific lipid types. This association is a function of lipid head group, backbone and hydrocarbon chain length. It appears that the affinity of the transport protein for various lipids can correlate with the lipid's ability to influence transporter activity. This study further suggests that certain lipids (in this case sphingomyelin) can induce an oligomeric association of HEST monomers in the bilayer.

Abstract
The HD3 cell, a chicken erythroblast cell line infected with a temperature-sensitive avian erythroblastosis virus, becomes committed to differentiate to an erythrocyte upon temperature shift in presence of inducers. Before induction, the HD3 cell transports glucose and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG). 3-O-methylglucose is poorly taken up. Upon induction of differentiation, glucose and 2-DG transport activity fall. Twenty-four hours postinduction, up to 75% of the glucose transport activity may disappear. By use of cDNA probes for chicken glucose transporters, two species of mRNA of 3.1 and 1.7 kb (equivalent to mammalian GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNA, respectively) are detected. Both messages virtually disappear within 48 h after induction. Run-on assays show the cessation of synthesis of the corresponding RNAs parallel to the loss of glucose transport. In contrast to the glucose transporters, the nucleoside transporter level increases after induction of hematopoiesis. This developmental pattern is consistent with earlier studies showing that mature chicken erythrocytes have little glucose transport activity but retain appreciable levels of the nucleoside transporter and that nucleosides and glutamine provide major sources of oxidizable carbon compounds to sustain metabolism in circulating chicken erythrocytes.

Abstract
D-[14C]Glucose self exchange and unidirectional efflux from human red blood cells were studied at 20 degrees C (pH 7.2) by means of the Millipore-Swinnex filtering technique whose time resolution is greater than 1 s and the continuous flow-tube method with a time resolution of greater than 2 ms. The unidirectional efflux data were analyzed using both the method of initial rates and the integrated rate equation. Simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics apply to the results obtained under both experimental conditions. In self-exchange mode, the half-saturation constant, K1/2ex, was 10 (S.E. +/- 1) mM. In unidirectional efflux mode K1/2ue was 6.6 (S.E. +/- 0.5) mM (initial rates) or by the method of integrated rates 7.7 mM, with a range of 2.7-12.1 mM, K1/2ue increasing with an increased initial intracellular glucose concentration. Our results of K1/2ex oppose previous published values of 32 mM for self exchange (Eilam and Stein (1972) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 266, 161-173) and 25 mM for unidirectional efflux (Karlish et al. (1972) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 255, 126-132) that have been used extensively in kinetic considerations of glucose transport models. Under self-exchange conditions Jmaxex was 1.8 x 10(-10) mol cm-2s-1, and in unidirectional efflux mode Jmaxue was 8.3 x 10(-11) mol cm-2s-1 (initial rates) and 8.6 x 10(-11) mol cm-2s-1 (integrated rates). We suggest that the previous high values of Jmax and in particular K1/2 are due to the use of methods with insufficient time resolution. Our results indicate that the transport system is less asymmetric than was generally accepted, and that complicated transport models developed to account for the great difference between the determined K1/2 and J max values are redundant.

Abstract
A sensitive assay is described for accurately quantitating subnanomolar aqueous concentrations of a wide variety of amphipathic and hydrophobic biological materials. This paper extends a luciferase-luciferin method previously used to measure aqueous concentrations of anesthetics to a variety of hormones, metabolites, and membrane active agents. The assay can cover analyte ranges from picomolar to micromolar. The sensitivity of the assay is shown to correlate with the hydrophobic nature of the analyte. The mechanism of the assay appears to result from competition of analyte with luciferin for a hydrophobic binding site on the luciferase molecule. This assay allows measurement of the partitioning of analytes into lipid bilayers from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Acyl lysolipids presented in vitro to red blood cells in amounts comparable to blood serum levels inhibit protein-mediated glucose transport (Naderi, A., Carruthers, A. and Melchior, D.L. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 985, 173-181). In this study, an alkyl lysolipid (2-O-methyl-1-O-octadecyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine; ALP), was found to be an order of magnitude more effective in inhibiting sugar transport than the most potent acyl lysolipid. Bilayer concentrations of ALP as low as 5 ALP molecules per transporter (0.1 mol% of total membrane lipid) result in a 50% inhibition of transport activity. ALP acts as a competitive inhibitor of exchange L-glucose transport, of CCB binding to the glucose transporter and of D-glucose inhibition of CCB binding to the transporter. Inhibition of zero-trans sugar uptake by ALP is noncompetitive. The two enantiomers of ALP show a different ability to inhibit sugar transport. The action of ALP is consistent with a mechanism in which ALP interacts with a transmembrane portion of the sugar transport molecule resulting in a competitive displacement of D-glucose or cytochalasin B from the cytosolic facing side of the transport molecule. The simplest explanation of our findings is a direct interaction of the ALP molecule with the transport protein.
