Abstract
Induced oncoproteins degradation provides an attractive anti-cancer modality. Activation of anaphase-promoting complex (APC/CCDH1) prevents cell-cycle entry by targeting crucial mitotic proteins for degradation. Phosphorylation of its co-activator CDH1 modulates the E3 ligase activity, but little is known about its regulation after phosphorylation and how to effectively harness APC/CCDH1 activity to treat cancer. Peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1)-catalyzed phosphorylation-dependent cis-trans prolyl isomerization drives tumor malignancy. However, the mechanisms controlling its protein turnover remain elusive. Through proteomic screens and structural characterizations, we identify a reciprocal antagonism of PIN1-APC/CCDH1 mediated by domain-oriented phosphorylation-dependent dual interactions as a fundamental mechanism governing mitotic protein stability and cell-cycle entry. Remarkably, combined PIN1 and cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) inhibition creates a positive feedback loop of PIN1 inhibition and APC/CCDH1 activation to irreversibly degrade PIN1 and other crucial mitotic proteins, which force permanent cell-cycle exit and trigger anti-tumor immunity, translating into synergistic efficacy against triple-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) show anticancer activity in certain human malignancies, such as breast cancer. However, their application to other tumor types and intrinsic resistance mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that MYC amplification confers resistance to CDK4/6i in bladder, prostate and breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, MYC binds to the promoter of the E3 ubiquitin ligase KLHL42 and enhances its transcription, leading to RB1 deficiency by inducing both phosphorylated and total pRB1 ubiquitination and degradation. We identify a compound that degrades MYC, A80.2HCl, which induces MYC degradation at nanomolar concentrations, restores pRB1 protein levels and re-establish sensitivity of MYC high-expressing cancer cells to CDK4/6i. The combination of CDK4/6i and A80.2HCl result in marked regression in tumor growth in vivo. Altogether, these results reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying MYC-induced resistance to CDK4/6i and suggest the utilization of the MYC degrading molecule A80.2HCl to potentiate the therapeutic efficacy of CDK4/6i.

Abstract
Targeting angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) represents a promising and effective approach to combat not only the COVID-19 pandemic but also potential future pandemics arising from coronaviruses that depend on ACE2 for infection. Here, we report ubiquitin specific peptidase 2 (USP2) as a host-directed antiviral target; we further describe the development of MS102, an orally available USP2 inhibitor with viable antiviral activity against ACE2-dependent coronaviruses. Mechanistically, USP2 serves as a physiological deubiquitinase of ACE2, and targeted inhibition with specific small-molecule inhibitor ML364 leads to a marked and reversible reduction in ACE2 protein abundance, thereby blocking various ACE2-dependent coronaviruses tested. Using human ACE2 transgenic mouse models, we further demonstrate that ML364 efficiently controls disease caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as evidenced by reduced viral loads and ameliorated lung inflammation. Furthermore, we improved the in vivo performance of ML364 in terms of both pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity. The resulting lead compound, MS102, holds promise as an oral therapeutic option for treating infections with coronaviruses that are reliant on ACE2.

Abstract
Circadian clock orchestrates the intergenic biochemical, physiological and behavioral changes to form an approximate 24h oscillation through the transcription-translation feedback loop (TTFL). Mechanistically, a heterodimer of transcriptional activator formed by BMAL1 and CLOCK, governs the expression of its transcriptional repressors, CRY, PER and REV-ERBα/β proteins, thereby controlling more than 50 % of protein encoding genes in human. There is also increasing evidence showing that tumor microenvironment can disrupt specific clock gene functions to facilitate tumorigenesis. Although there is great progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock, aging and cancer, elucidating their complex relationships among these processes remains challenging. Herein, the optimization of the chronochemotherapy regimen has not been justified yet for treatment of cancer. Here, we discuss the hypothesis of relocalization of chromatin modifiers (RCM) along with function(s) of the circadian rhythm on aging and carcinogenesis. We will also introduce the function of the chromatin remodeling as a new avenue for rejuvenation of competent tissues to combat aging and cancer.

Abstract
The prolyl hydroxylation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) mediated by the EGLN-pVHL pathway represents a classic signalling mechanism that mediates cellular adaptation under hypoxia. Here we identify RIPK1, a known regulator of cell death mediated by tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), as a target of EGLN1-pVHL. Prolyl hydroxylation of RIPK1 mediated by EGLN1 promotes the binding of RIPK1 with pVHL to suppress its activation under normoxic conditions. Prolonged hypoxia promotes the activation of RIPK1 kinase by modulating its proline hydroxylation, independent of the TNFα-TNFR1 pathway. As such, inhibiting proline hydroxylation of RIPK1 promotes RIPK1 activation to trigger cell death and inflammation. Hepatocyte-specific Vhl deficiency promoted RIPK1-dependent apoptosis to mediate liver pathology. Our findings illustrate a key role of the EGLN-pVHL pathway in suppressing RIPK1 activation under normoxic conditions to promote cell survival and a model by which hypoxia promotes RIPK1 activation through modulating its proline hydroxylation to mediate cell death and inflammation in human diseases, independent of TNFR1.

Abstract
Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity is stimulated to promote metabolic adaptation upon energy stress. However, sustained metabolic stress may cause cell death. The mechanisms by which AMPK dictates cell death are not fully understood. We report that metabolic stress promoted receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) activation mediated by TRAIL receptors, whereas AMPK inhibited RIPK1 by phosphorylation at Ser415 to suppress energy stress-induced cell death. Inhibiting pS415-RIPK1 by Ampk deficiency or RIPK1 S415A mutation promoted RIPK1 activation. Furthermore, genetic inactivation of RIPK1 protected against ischemic injury in myeloid Ampkα1-deficient mice. Our studies reveal that AMPK phosphorylation of RIPK1 represents a crucial metabolic checkpoint, which dictates cell fate response to metabolic stress, and highlight a previously unappreciated role for the AMPK-RIPK1 axis in integrating metabolism, cell death, and inflammation.

Abstract
Background Non-ampullary duodenal adenomas, which can present sporadically or in the context of a polyposis syndrome, carry a risk of progression to carcinoma in a similar sequence to colorectal adenomas. Complete endoscopic resection is recommended as first line as a less invasive alternative to surgical rsection. Identifying recurrence rates of non-ampullary duodenal polyps after endoscopic resection, and patient and polyp characteristics associated with recurrence is important in determining the best method of resection and guiding endoscopic surveillance. Purpose To determine the technical success rate of endoscopic resection of non-ampullary duodenal polyps, complication rates, rate of residual and recurrent polyps, and identify factors associated with polyp recurrence. Method All adult patients (≥18 years) that underwent endoscopic resection of non-ampullary duodenal polyps at St. Michael’s Hospital, a Canadian tertiary referral center, from January 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively identified. Descriptive statistics were calculated for variables of interest and Chi-square, t-test or U-Mann Whitney tests were used to compare variables as appropriate. Bi-variate regression analysis was utilized to determine co-variables associated with recurrence. Result(s) A total of 300 patients underwent endoscopic resection of duodenal polyps. Table 1 describes patient demographics, polyp and procedural characteristics and characteristics associated with recurrence. Nearly all cases were technically successful (96%, n=286/299). Clinically significant intraprocedural bleeding occurred in 22% (n=65/300) of patients, and deep mural injury occurred in 3% (n=7/284) of patients. Delayed post-procedural bleeding occurred in 9% of patients (n=26/279). The median time to first surveillance EGD was 4 months. Polyp recurrence occurred in 28% (n=50/180) of patients. Of the patients with polyp recurrence, 82% (n=42/50) were successfully managed endoscopically. On univariate analysis, polyp size (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01-1.06), piecemeal resection (OR 1.63, 95% CI 0.17-0.82), intraprocedural bleeding (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.09-4.74), and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or intramucosal adenocarcinoma (IMCa) on final histology (OR 3.46, 95% CI 1.64-7.33) were significantly associated with polyp recurrence. On multivariate analysis, only HGD/IMCa on final histology was significant (OR 3.41, 95% CI 1.38-8.47). Image ![]()
Conclusion(s) Endoscopic resection of duodenal polyps can be safely performed with high technical success, however recurrence is a significant concern. Advanced histology was a significant predictor of polyp recurrence and highlights the importance of accurate pre-resection endoscopic characterization to correctly identify lesions at increased risk that may benefit from alternative resection methods such as ESD or hot rather than cold EMR, and which may require closer follow-up. Future work to develop predictive models of recurrence are needed to better stratify patient risk.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) mediated phosphorylation inactivates the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/CCDH1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase that contains the co-activator CDH1, to promote G1/S transition. PIN1 is a phosphorylation-directed proline isomerase and a master cancer signaling regulator. However, little are known about APC/CCDH1 regulation after phosphorylation and about PIN1 ubiquitin ligases. Here we uncover a domain-oriented reciprocal inhibition that controls the timely G1/S transition: The non-phosphorylated APC/CCDH1 E3 ligase targets PIN1 for degradation in G1 phase, restraining G1/S transition; APC/CCDH1 itself, after phosphorylation by CDKs, is inactivated by PIN1-catalyzed isomerization, promoting G1/S transition. In cancer, PIN1 overexpression and APC/CCDH1 inactivation reinforce each other to promote uncontrolled proliferation and tumorigenesis. Importantly, combined PIN1- and CDK4/6-inhibition reactivates APC/CCDH1 resulting in PIN1 degradation and an insurmountable G1 arrest that translates into synergistic anti-tumor activity against triple-negative breast cancer in vivo. Reciprocal inhibition of PIN1 and APC/CCDH1 is a novel mechanism to control timely G1/S transition that can be harnessed for synergistic anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Acetylation represents one of the major post-translational protein modifications, which introduces an acetyl functional group into amino acids such as the lysine residue to yield an acetate ester bond, neutralizing its positive charge. Regulation of protein functions by acetylation occurs in multiple ways, such as affecting protein stability, activity, localization, and interaction with other proteins or DNA. It has been well documented that the recruitment of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) to the transcriptional machinery can modulate histone acetylation status, which is directly involved in the dynamic regulation of genes controlling cell proliferation and division. Dysregulation of gene expression is involved in tumorigenesis and aberrant activation of histone deacetylases has been reported in several types of cancer. Moreover, there is growing body of evidence showing that acetylation is widely involved in non-histone proteins to impact their roles in various cellular processes including tumorigenesis. As such, small molecular compounds inhibiting HAT or HDAC enzymatic activities have been developed and investigated for therapeutic purpose. Here we review the recent progress in our understanding of protein acetylation and discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting the acetylation signaling pathway in cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hospital readmission rates are high in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population, with 20% of patients readmitted within the same year. Discharge processes are not routinely standardized and deficiencies in transition of care puts patients at an increased risk of recurrent illness and healthcare costs. In addition, hospitalizations for IBD patients are associated with nosocomial complications such as venous thromboembolism.
Aims
We hypothesize that standardized follow-up by an IBD practice nurse and electronic health outcome monitoring reduces the risk of hospital readmission compared to current approaches of hospital discharge alone.
Methods
This pilot study uses a prospective parallel randomized control design and includes patients admitted with an IBD flare who were discharged without surgical intervention. Patients randomized to the control arm were discharged with usual standard of care (i.e. discharge summary and/or follow-up). In addition to standard of care, those in the intervention group received organized telephone or email follow-up by an IBD practice nurse at 1, 7 and 30 days post-discharge. These patients also received bi-weekly corespondence from an electronic survey tool, NoviSurvey, to determine clinical disease severity and medication adherence. Based on patient interactions and survey responses, the IBD nurse may arrange for expedited ambulatory visit or readmission for high-risk patients.
Results
At present, 41 patients have been enrolled into our study, 4 of which were excluded due to surgical management. 19 patients were randomized to the intervention and 17 to the control group. In the intervention group, the 30-day cumulative rate of readmission [0/19 (0%) vs. 4/17 (24%), p = 0.040] as well as the proportion of patients who failed to taper steroids [0/18 (0%) vs. 5/15 (33%), p = 0.013] was significantly lower when compared to the control group. There were no occurrences of deep vein thrombosis within 30 days post-discharge in either group.
Conclusions
These findings in our pilot study indicate that a nurse led post-discharge intervention may translate to benefits including decreased readmission rates and better medication adherence, warranting a large clinical trial to confirm findings.

Abstract
Although inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 kinases (CDK4/6i) have shown promising clinical prospect in treating ER+/HER2- breast cancers, acquired drug resistance is frequently observed and mechanistic knowledge is needed to harness their full clinical potential. Here, we report that inhibition of CDK4/6 promotes βTrCP1-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of RB1, and facilitates SP1-mediated CDK6 transcriptional activation. Intriguingly, suppression of CK1ε not only efficiently prevents RB1 from degradation, but also prevents CDK4/6i-induced CDK6 upregulation by modulating SP1 protein stability, thereby enhancing CDK4/6i efficacy and overcoming resistance to CDK4/6i in vitro. Using xenograft and PDX models, we further demonstrate that combined inhibition of CK1ε and CDK4/6 results in marked suppression of tumor growth in vivo. Altogether, these results uncover the molecular mechanisms by which CDK4/6i treatment alters RB1 and CDK6 protein abundance, thereby driving the acquisition of CDK4/6i resistance. Importantly, we identify CK1ε as an effective target for potentiating the therapeutic efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Abstract
Cell cycle progression is a tightly regulated process by which DNA replicates and cell reproduces. The major driving force underlying cell cycle progression is the sequential activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which is achieved in part by the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of their cyclin partners and kinase inhibitors (CKIs). In eukaryotic cells, two families of E3 ubiquitin ligases, anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome and Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein complex, are responsible for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of many of these CDK regulators, ensuring cell cycle progresses in a timely and precisely regulated manner. In the past couple of decades, accumulating evidence have demonstrated that the dysregulated cell cycle transition caused by inefficient proteolytic control leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation and finally results in tumorigenesis. Based upon this notion, targeting the E3 ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle regulation is expected to provide novel therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment. Thus, a better understanding of the diversity and complexity of ubiquitin signaling in cell cycle regulation will shed new light on the precise control of the cell cycle progression and guide anticancer drug development. ![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hospital readmission rates are high in the IBD population, with 20% of patients readmitted within the same calendar year. Hospital discharge processes are not routinely standardized and deficiencies in the transition of care after discharge puts patients at increased risk of illness, hospital utilization and healthcare cost. In addition to increased healthcare expenditure, hospitalizations for IBD patients are associated with nosocomial complications such as venous thromboembolism and infection.
Aims
We hypothesize that implementing standardized follow-up by an IBD practice nurse and electronic health outcome monitoring through NoviSurvey can reduce the risk of hospital readmission compared to current approaches of hospital discharge alone.
Methods
This parallel randomized control trial is powered for N=400 and will include patients admitted for an IBD flare without requiring surgical intervention from the gastroenterology service or consulted from general internal medicine. Patients randomized to the control arm are discharged with usual standard of care. Patients in the intervention group will be eligible for usual post-discharge care in addition to organized telephone follow-up by an IBD practice nurse at 1, 7 and 30 days post-discharge. In addition, these patients will receive bi-weekly correspondence from NoviSurvey to complete a short questionnaire on clinical disease severity and medication adherence. Based on telephone interaction and survey scores, the IBD nurse may arrange readmission or expedited ambulatory visit for high-risk patients.
Results
15 patients are currently enrolled into our study, with 7 randomized to the intervention and 8 to the control group. In the control group, 25% of patients were readmitted to hospital within 30 days of discharge and 13% failed to follow their steroid taper. There were no patients in the intervention group who were readmitted to hospital within 30 days and none who failed their steroid taper. In both the control or intervention group, there were no occurrences of deep vein thrombosis within 30 days post-discharge.
Conclusions
The preliminary findings in our small sample study indicate that a nurse led post-discharge intervention may translate to benefits including decreased readmission rates to hospital, better patient satisfaction and better medication adherence.

Abstract
The function of PTEN in the cytoplasm largely depends on its lipid-phosphatase activity, though which it antagonizes the PI3K-AKT oncogenic pathway. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the role of PTEN in the nucleus remain largely elusive. Here, we report that DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) promote PTEN interaction with MDC1 upon ATM-dependent phosphorylation of T/S398-PTEN. Importantly, DNA DSBs enhance NSD2 (MMSET/WHSC1)-mediated dimethylation of PTEN at K349, which is recognized by the tudor domain of 53BP1 to recruit PTEN to DNA-damage sites, governing efficient repair of DSBs partly through dephosphorylation of γH2AX. Of note, inhibiting NSD2-mediated methylation of PTEN, either through expressing methylation-deficient PTEN mutants or through inhibiting NSD2, sensitizes cancer cells to combinatorial treatment with a PI3K inhibitor and DNA-damaging agents in both cell culture and in vivo xenograft models. Therefore, our study provides a novel molecular mechanism for PTEN regulation of DSB repair in a methylation- and protein phosphatase-dependent manner. SIGNIFICANCE: NSD2-mediated dimethylation of PTEN is recognized by the 53BP1 tudor domain to facilitate PTEN recruitment into DNA-damage sites, governing efficient repair of DNA DSBs. Importantly, inhibiting PTEN methylation sensitizes cancer cells to combinatorial treatment with a PI3K inhibitor combined with DNA-damaging agents in both cell culture and in vivo xenograft models.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1143.

Abstract
Frequent SPOP mutation defines the molecular feature underlying one of seven sub-types of human prostate cancer (PrCa). However, it remains largely elusive how SPOP functions as a tumor suppressor in PrCa. Here, we report that SPOP suppresses stem cell traits of both embryonic stem cells and PrCa cells through promoting Nanog poly-ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Mechanistically, Nanog, but not other pluripotency-determining factors including Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4, specifically interacts with SPOP via a conservative degron motif. Importantly, cancer-derived mutations in SPOP or at the Nanog-degron (S68Y) disrupt SPOP-mediated destruction of Nanog, leading to elevated cancer stem cell traits and PrCa progression. Notably, we identify the Pin1 oncoprotein as an upstream Nanog regulator that impairs its recognition by SPOP and thereby stabilizes Nanog. Thus, Pin1 inhibitors promote SPOP-mediated destruction of Nanog, which provides the molecular insight and rationale to use Pin1 inhibitor(s) for targeted therapies of PrCa patients with wild-type SPOP.

Abstract
PD-L1, frequently expressed in human cancers, engages with PD-1 on immune cells and contributes to cancer immune evasion. As such, antibodies blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction reactivate cytotoxic T cells to eradicate cancer cells. However, a majority of cancer patients fail to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with unclear underlying mechanism(s). Recent studies revealed that PD-L1 expression levels on tumor cells might affect the clinical response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies. Hence, understanding molecular mechanisms for controlling PD-L1 expression will be important to improve the clinical response rate and efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing PD-L1 regulation and its potential roles in regulating antitumor immune response, with purpose to optimize anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies, benefiting a wider cancer patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Individuals born from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia have an elevated risk for cognitive impairment. Deviations in maternal plasma angiokines occur for prolonged intervals before clinical signs of preeclampsia. We hypothesized that fetal brain vascular and nervous tissue development become deviated during maternal progression toward preeclampsia and that such deviations would be detectable by MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this pilot study, 10 matched (gestational and current ages) pairs (5 boys/5 girls, 7-10 years of age) from preeclampsia or control pregnancies were examined by using diffusion tensor MR imaging. An unbiased voxel-based analysis was conducted on fractional anisotropy and mean diffusivity parametric maps. Six brain ROIs were identified for subsequent analysis by tractography (middle occipital gyrus, caudate nucleus and precuneus, cerebellum, superior longitudinal fasciculus, and cingulate gyrus). RESULTS Statistical differences were present between groups for fractional anisotropy in the caudate nucleus (offspring from preeclamptic gestation > controls), volume of the tract for the superior longitudinal fasciculus (offspring from preeclamptic gestation > controls) and the caudate nucleus (offspring from preeclamptic gestation > controls), and for parallel diffusivity of the cingulate gyrus (offspring from preeclamptic gestation > controls). CONCLUSIONS These novel preliminary results along with previous results from the same children that identified altered cerebral vessel calibers and increased regional brain volumes justify fully powered MR imaging studies to address the impact of preeclampsia on human fetal brain development.

Abstract
Although food availability is a potent synchronizer of the peripheral circadian clock in mammals, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we show that hepatic Bmal1, a core transcription activator of the molecular clock, is post-transcriptionally regulated by signals from insulin, an important hormone that is temporally controlled by feeding. Insulin promotes postprandial Akt-mediated Ser42-phosphorylation of Bmal1 to induce its dissociation from DNA, interaction with 14-3-3 protein and subsequently nuclear exclusion, which results in the suppression of Bmal1 transcriptional activity. Inverted feeding cycles not only shift the phase of daily insulin oscillation, but also elevate the amplitude due to food overconsumption. This enhanced and reversed insulin signalling initiates the reset of clock gene rhythms by altering Bmal1 nuclear accumulation in mouse liver. These results reveal the molecular mechanism of insulin signalling in regulating peripheral circadian rhythms.

Abstract
Energy metabolism follows a diurnal pattern responding to the cycles of light and food exposures. Although food availability is a potent synchronizer of peripheral circadian clock in mammals, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we found that the temporal signals of fasting and refeeding hormones regulate the transcription of Bmal1, a key transcription activator of molecular clock, in the liver. During fasting, glucagon, a major fasting hormone, activates CREB/CRTC2 transcriptional complex that is recruited to Bmal1 promoter to induce its expression. Furthermore, we showed that CRTC2 is required for basal transcriptional regulation of Bmal1 by experiments using either adenovirus-mediated CRTC2 RNAi knockdown or primary Crtc2 null hepatocytes. On the other hand, insulin suppresses fasting-induced Bmal1 expression by inhibiting CRTC2 activity after refeeding. Taken together, our results indicate CRTC2 as a key component of the circadian oscillator that integrates the mammalian clock and energy metabolism.

Abstract
Replica microchips for capillary array electrophoresis containing 10 separation channels (50 microm width, 50 microm depth and 100 microm pitch) and a network of sacrificial channels (100 microm width and 50 microm depth) were successfully fabricated on a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate by injection molding. The strategy involved development of moving mask deep X-ray lithography to fabricate an array of channels with inclined channel sidewalls. A slight inclination of channel sidewalls, which can not be fabricated by conventional deep X-ray lithography, is highly required to ensure the release of replicated polymer chips from a mold. Moreover, the sealing of molded PMMA multichannel chips with a PMMA cover film was achieved by a novel bonding technique involving adhesive printing and a network of sacrificial channels. An adhesive printing process enables us to precisely control the thickness of an adhesive layer, and a network of sacrificial channels makes it possible to remove air bubbles and an excess adhesive, which are crucial to achieving perfect sealing of replica PMMA chips with well-defined channel and injection structures. A CCD camera equipped with an image intensifier was used to simultaneously monitor electrophoretic separations in ten micro-channels with laser-induced fluorescence detection. High-speed and high-throughput separations of a 100 bp DNA ladder and phi X174 Hae III DNA restriction fragments have been demonstrated using a 10-channel PMMA chip. The current work establishes the feasibility of mass production of PMMA multichannel chips at a cost-effective basis.
