Abstract
OBJECTIVES human vein graft stenoses are caused by intimal hyperplasia, a process which is characterised by extensive degradation and accumulation of extracellular matrix. This study investigated the role of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) - the principal physiological mediators of extracellular matrix degradation - in the development of intimal hyperplasia in cultured human long saphenous vein. DESIGN experimental study. MATERIALS AND METHODS paired venous segments with the endothelium intact or denuded were cultured in standard conditions for 14 days. At the termination of culture, MMPs were extracted from one half of the tissue, whilst the remainder of the vein was prepared for histological examination. RESULTS stereologic analysis revealed that the endothelium intact veins developed a significantly thicker neointima when compared to the denuded venous segments (20 micron v. 0 micron, p=0.006). Quantification of MMPs by substrate gel enzymography demonstrated that the development of a neointima was associated with increased production of the gelatinolytic MMP-9 (p=0. 03) in intact veins. Immunocytochemistry showed that the MMP-9 localised to the internal elastic lumina, which suggested a role in facilitating smooth-muscle-cell migration into the intima. The role of MMPs-2 and -9 in intimal hyperplasia was further investigated by culturing intact venous segments with a therapeutic concentration of doxycycline--a potent MMP inhibitor. These experiments demonstrated that a therapeutic dose of doxycycline significantly reduced neointimal thickness (control 21 micron, doxycycline 10 mg/l-5.5 micron), in conjunction with a significant reduction in the production of MMP-9. CONCLUSIONS these data suggest that elevated levels of MMPs may play a significant role in the development of human intimal hyperplasia and that inhibition of these enzymes may offer a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention of hyperplastic lesions.

Abstract
The activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to cells infected with adenovirus vectors contributes to problems of inflammation and transient gene expression that attend their use in gene therapy. The goal of this study was to identify in a murine model of liver gene therapy the proteins that provide targets to CTLs and to characterize the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I restricting elements. Mice of different MHC haplotypes were infected with an E1-deleted adenovirus expressing human alkaline phosphatase (ALP) or beta-galactosidase as a reporter protein, and splenocytes were harvested for in vitro CTL assays to aid in the characterization of CTL epitopes. A library of vaccinia viruses was created to express individual viral open reading frames, as well as the ALP and lacZ transgenes. The MHC haplotype had a dramatic impact on the distribution of CTL targets: in C57BL/6 mice, the hexon protein presented by both H-2Kb and H2Db was dominant, and in C3H mice, H-2Dk-restricted presentation of ALP was dominant. Adoptive transfer of CTLs specific for various adenovirus proteins or transgene products into either Rag-I or C3H-scid mice infected previously with an E1-deleted adenovirus verified the in vivo relevance of the adenovirus-specific CTL targets identified in vitro. The results of these experiments illustrate the impact of lr gene control on the response to gene therapy with adenovirus vectors and suggest that the efficacy of therapy with adenovirus vectors may exhibit considerable heterogeneity when applied in human populations.

Abstract
Three viral proteins, all products of early region 2 (E2), participate directly in adenovirus DNA replication. Three products of early region 4 (E4) also affect viral DNA synthesis: the product of E4 ORF4 inhibits viral DNA accumulation, while the products of E4 ORFs 3 and 6 antagonize that effect of ORF4 expression. Because no E4 products are required for DNA synthesis, these proteins probably act indirectly. The E4 ORF3, 4, and 6 proteins all participate in aspects of the regulation of viral gene expression. To determine whether they modulate DNA replication by effects on expression of viral replication proteins, we examined E2 expression in E4 mutant-infected cells. In cells infected by ORF3-, 6- mutants, expression of ORF4 substantially depressed the steady-state levels of replication proteins and E2 mRNAs, reduced E2 transcription rates, and profoundly inhibited viral DNA replication. Thus, in the absence of E4 ORFs 3 and 6, ORF4 acts as a transcriptional regulator of E2 expression, and reduced replication protein levels largely account for the inhibition of DNA replication by ORF4. Cells infected by viruses that express ORFs 3 and 6 in addition to ORF4 accumulated much larger quantities of viral DNA than did cells infected by the ORF3-, 6-, 4+ mutant. Increased DNA accumulation was not accompanied by a comparable increase in E2 expression. Therefore, the ORF3 and 6 products counteract the ORF4-induced reduction of DNA replication by a mechanism other than reversing the inhibitory effect of ORF4 on E2 expression. The effect of ORF4 on E2 expression is consistent with its ability to regulate levels of the transcription factor AP-1 (Müller et al., 1992, J. Virol. 66, 5867-5878); the mechanism by which ORFs 3 and 6 enhance replication is unknown.

Abstract
The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; 72 kDa type IV collagenase/gelatinase A) and MMP-9 (92 kDa type IV collagenase/gelatinase B) was immunohistochemically investigated in 79 T1 adenocarcinomas of the lung using non-commercial polyclonal anti-MMP-2 and -9 antibodies. Thirty-two (41%) and 22 (28%) among the 79 cases were positive in the tumor cells for MMP-2 and -9, respectively. The incidences of MMP-2 and -9 immunoreactivities were higher (64 and 45%, respectively) in poorly differentiated tumors than in well differentiated tumors (36 and 25%, respectively), and lower in bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (22 and 10%, respectively) compared with other subtypes of adenocarcinoma. The prognosis for patients with MMP-2 and/or -9 positive immunoreactivities was significantly poorer than for those with a MMP-negative tumor (P < 0.05). The degree of collagenization was divided into four grades, and tumors with a small to abundant amount of collagen (grade 2 and grade 3 fibrosis) had a higher incidence of immunoreactivity to both types of MMP. It is estimated that these expressions might be responsible for tumor invasion, metastasis, and for grade 2 and grade 3 fibrosis in T1 adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Abstract
Replication of a human parvovirus, adeno-associated virus (AAV), is facilitated by coinfection with adeno-virus to provide essential helper functions. We have used the techniques of in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry to characterize the localization of AAV replication within infected cells, Previous studies have shown that adenovirus establishes foci called replication centers within the nucleus, where adenoviral replication and transcription occur. Our studies indicate that AAV is colocalized with the adenovirus replication centers, where it may utilize adenovirus and cellular proteins for its own replication. Expression of the AAV Rep protein inhibits the normal maturation of the adenovirus centers. Similar experiments were performed with recombinant AAV (rAAV) to establish a relationship between intranuclear localization and rAAV transduction. rAAV efficiently entered the cell, and its genome was faintly detectable in a perinuclear distribution and was mobilized to replication centers when the cell was infected with adenovirus. The recruitment of the replication-defective genome into the intranuclear adenovirus domains resulted in enhanced transduction. These studies illustrate the importance of intracellular compartmentalization for such complex interactions as the relationship between AAV and adenovirus.

Abstract
Dengue virus type 2, a member of the family Flaviviridae, encodes a single polyprotein precursor consisting of 3391 amino acids residues that is processed to at least 10 mature proteins by host and viral proteases. The NS3 protein contains a domain commonly found in cellular serine proteinases that in cooperation with NS2B is involved in polyprotein processing. In addition, NS3 and NS5 proteins contain conserved motifs found in several RNA helicases and RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, respectively. Both enzymatic activities have been suggested to be involved in viral RNA replication. In this report, we demonstrate that the NS3 and NS5 proteins interact in vivo in dengue virus type 2-infected monkey kidney (CV-1) cells and in HeLa cells coinfected with recombinant vaccinia viruses encoding these proteins as shown by coimmunoprecipitations and immunoblotting methods. We also show by immunofluorescence, metabolic labeling, and two-dimensional peptide mapping that NS5 is a nuclear phosphoprotein and that phosphorylation occurs on serine residues at multiple sites. Furthermore, NS5 exists in differentially phosphorylated states in the nuclear and the cytoplasmic fractions, and only the cytoplasmic form of NS5 is found to coimmunoprecipitate with NS3, suggesting that differential phosphorylation may control the interaction between these proteins and its function in the viral RNA replicase.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is characterised by unusual growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the intima. We examined the effects of histamine on human VSMCs and the VSMC-derived cell line, ISS10. Histamine enhanced phosphoinositide hydrolysis, increased cytoplasmic Ca2+ level and stimulated the transcription of c-fos protooncogene, which resulted in DNA synthesis and the enhancement of proMMP-1 expression. These results indicate that histamine may play some roles in the pathological process of atherosclerosis and raise the possibility that mast cells migrating into the atherosclerotic foci are involved in the process of atherosclerogenesis.

Abstract
During the S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle and in virus-infected cells, DNA replication takes place at discrete sites in the nucleus, although it is not clear how the proteins involved in the replicative process are directed to these sites. Nuclear factor I is a cellular, sequence-specific DNA-binding protein utilized by adenovirus type 2 to facilitate the assembly of a nucleoprotein complex at the viral origin of DNA replication. Immunofluorescence experiments reveal that in uninfected cells, nuclear factor I is distributed evenly throughout the nucleus. However, after a cell is infected with adenovirus type 2, the distribution of nuclear factor I is dramatically altered, being colocalized with the viral DNA-binding protein in a limited number of subnuclear sites which bromodeoxyuridine pulse-labeling experiments have identified as sites of viral DNA replication. Experiments with adenovirus type 4, which does not require nuclear factor I for viral DNA replication, indicate that although the adenovirus type 4 DNA-binding protein is localized to discrete nuclear sites, this does not result in the redistribution of nuclear factor I. Localization of nuclear factor I to discrete subnuclear sites is therefore likely to represent a specific targeting event that reflects the requirement for nuclear factor I in adenovirus type 2 DNA replication.

Abstract
The mechanism of adeno-associated virus (AAV) DNA replication was characterized both genetically and biochemically. In this study, we used monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to examine the AAV p5 (Rep78 and Rep68) and p19 (Rep52 and Rep40) proteins in infected cells. By overexpressing a truncated Rep78 protein in Escherichia coli, we obtained monoclonal antibody anti-78/68, which is specific for the p5 Rep proteins, and monoclonal antibody anti-52/40, which recognized both the p5 and p19 Rep proteins. In single-fluorochrome indirect immunofluorescence labeling experiments, the viral Rep proteins were localized in distinct intranuclear foci. Analysis of AAV proteins by double-fluorochrome indirect immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that (i) all four AAV Rep proteins occupied the same intranuclear compartments and (ii) the Rep and capsid proteins colocalized in the nuclei of infected cells. These results suggest that replication centers similar to those established by other viruses exist for AAV. These reagents should provide a useful tool for further delineation of the mechanism of AAV replication in vitro.

Abstract
Human aortic endothelial cells, isolated at autopsy from a 52-year-old male dying from lung cancer, were treated with simian virus 40 (SV40). One colony was isolated from the infected endothelial cell culture 4 weeks after infection. The cells expressed SV40 large T antigen and p53 protein (p53) in their nuclei but lacted the characteristics of a transformed phenotype. The cells grew well in a monolayer over the 97th passage and exhibited Factor VIII-related antigen, Ulex europaeus 1 agglutinin (UEA-1) as endothelial cell markers, and a well-developed fibronectin network. The amount of prostacyclin synthesized by the cells was less than the amount synthesized by normal aortic or umbilical cord vein endothelial cells. The cells produced relatively large amounts of procollagenase, and 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) augmented the ability of the cells to produce this enzyme. These immortalized human aortic endothelial cells, which have some characteristics of normal endothelial cells and, like capillary endothelial cells, have the ability to produce collagenase, will probably prove useful for studies of atherosclerosis and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) DNA polymerase (AdPol) and the preterminal protein (pTP) form a complex that is involved in the in vitro initiation of Ad DNA replication. Recombinant vaccinia viruses (vv) were constructed in which the genes encoding AdPol and pTP were cloned into a vaccinia/T7 hybrid expression-based vector downstream from the T7 promoter (pT7)/encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) 5'-untranslated region (UTR). HeLa cells infected with the recombinant vv-AdPol or vv-pTP or a mixture of both, together with the vv expressing T7 RNA polymerase produced significant levels of pTP and AdPol which were biologically active in the in vitro initiation of Ad DNA replication. These amounts of pTP and AdPol were only about two-fold less than the levels produced in insect cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus constructs expressing AdPol and pTP.

Abstract
The effect of linoleic acid hydroperoxide on replication of adenovirus type 2 DNA in cultured endothelial cells of bovine aorta was studied to elucidate the deleterious effect of lipid peroxides on replication of DNA in the arterial endothelial cells. When, just after the infection, the cells were incubated with 1 nmol (measured by the thiobarbituric acid reaction and expressed in terms of malondialdehyde) of the hydroperoxide, the replication of adenovirus type 2 DNA was markedly reduced. The level of the messenger RNA for adenovirus type 2 DNA polymerase was also reduced. In accordance with the reduction of the messenger RNA, the synthesis of the polymerase in the cells was reduced. The inhibition of DNA replication in the arterial endothelial cells by lipid peroxides was discussed in relation to atherogenesis.

Abstract
Biochemical evidence is presented that both minute virus of mice (MVM) and adenovirus interact with the nucleolus during lytic growth and that MVM can also target specific changes involving nucleolar components in adenovirus-infected cells. These virus-nucleolus interactions were studied by analysis of intranuclear compartmentalization of both viral DNAs and host nucleolar proteins: (i) MVM in mouse cells (its normal host) replicates its DNA in the host nucleoli; (ii) specific nucleolar proteins as well as small nuclear ribonucleoprotein antigens are recompartmentalized to multiple intranuclear foci in adenovirus-infected HeLa cells; and (iii) when adenovirus helps MVM DNA replication in a nonpermissive human cell (HeLa), the MVM DNA is also recompartmentalized for synthesis. The data suggest mechanisms for disruption of nucleolar function common to oncogenic or oncolytic virus lytic growth and cell transformation.

Abstract
The mRNAs for the 80 kd adenovirus preterminal protein (pTP) and the 140 kd DNA polymerase (AdPol) contain several exons spliced to the main open reading frames (m-ORFs) located in the early transcription unit E2B. These proteins were transiently expressed in monkey kidney cells (CV1) utilizing the first ATG (pTP1 and AdPol1) or the ATG of a linker inserted at the beginning of the m-ORFs (pTP2 and AdPol2). Only pTP2 and AdPol2 were functionally active in an in vitro replication initiation assay. Both pTP1 and pTP2 were transported to the nucleus. The sequence RLPV(R)6VP, which is present in both pTPs, is identified as their nuclear localization signal. In contrast, AdPol1 was cytoplasmically localized, whereas AdPol2 was distributed in both compartments, suggesting that the nuclear localization signal for AdPol is within the first 139 amino acids. Interestingly, when AdPol1 and pTP1 or AdPol2 and pTP2 were coexpressed in the transfected cells, the nuclear distribution of AdPol1 or AdPol2 was significantly increased. We demonstrate that the nuclear transport of AdPol is facilitated, irrespective of the presence of its nuclear localization signal, by interaction with pTP.

Abstract
Initiation of Adenovirus (Ad) DNA replication occurs by a protein-priming mechanism in which the viral precursor terminal protein (pTP) and DNA polymerase (pol) as well as two nuclear DNA-binding proteins from uninfected HeLa cells are required. Biochemical studies on the pTP and DNA polymerase proteins separately have been hampered due to their low abundance and their presence as a pTP-pol complex in Ad infected cells. We have constructed a genomic sequence containing the large open reading frame from the Ad5 pol gene to which 9 basepairs from a putative exon were ligated. When inserted behind a modified late promoter of vaccinia virus the resulting recombinant virus produced enzymatically active 140 kDa Ad DNA polymerase. The same strategy was applied to express the 80 kDa pTP gene in a functional form. Both proteins were overexpressed at least 30-fold compared to extracts from Adenovirus infected cells and, when combined, were fully active for initiation in an in vitro Adenovirus DNA replication system.
