Abstract
PURPOSE The biological association between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has not been elucidated yet. The aim of the study was to assess whether the presence of CLT exerts any influence on clinical or histological presentation of DTC. METHODS Nine hundred and seven consecutive patients with DTC treated in the years 1998-2016 were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of concomitant CLT. The statistical differences were analysed. RESULTS Out of 907 patients included in the study, 331 were diagnosed with DTC and CLT (studied group), while 576 patients with DTC but without CLT constituted a control group. The distribution of papillary and follicular thyroid cancer did not differ. In CLT group, the prevalence of pT1 was greater than for pT2-pT4 DTC (P = 0.0003; OR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.27-2.24) compared to controls (68.3 vs. 56.1%, respectively). The presence of multifocal lesions was similar. The thyroid capsule infiltration without extrathyroidal invasion (P < 0.0001; OR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.14-0.31) was more frequent in the studied group, unlike extracapsular invasion, which was significantly more often present in patients with DTC but without CLT (P = 0.004; OR = 1.66; 95% CI 1.17-2.34) as well as nodal involvement (P = 0.048; OR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.42-0.99). CONCLUSIONS The collected data indicate a protective role of CLT in preventing the spread of the DTC. The presence of CLT might limit tumour growth to the primary site.

Abstract
In the crude fraction of porcine liver annexins, we identified annexin IV (AnxIV), AnxII and AnxVI of MW (molecular weight) of 32, 36 and 68 kDa, respectively, an albumin of MW of 61.5 kDa and an UDP hydrolase (UDPase) of MW of 62 kDa, related to the human UDPase from Golgi membranes. The latter enzyme exhibits its highest specificity towards UDP and GDP but not ADP and CDP, and it is stimulated by Mg(2+) and Ca(2+). AnxVI itself, although it binds purine nucleotides, does not exhibit hydrolytic activity towards nucleotides. Taken together, these results suggest that AnxVI may interact in vivo with a nucleotide-utilizing enzyme, UDPase. This is in line with observations made by other investigators that various annexins are able to interact with nucleotide-utilizing proteins, such as protein kinases, GTPases, cytoskeletal proteins and p120(GAP). Such interactions could be of particular importance in modulating the biological activities of these proteins in vivo.

Abstract
Amphiphiles which induce either spiculated (echinocytic) or invaginated (stomatocytic) shapes in human erythrocytes, and ionophore A23187 plus Ca(2+), were studied for their capacity to induce shape alterations, vesiculation and hemolysis in the morphologically and structurally different lamprey and trout erythrocytes. Both qualitative and quantitative differences were found. Amphiphiles induced no gross morphological changes in the non-axisymmetric stomatocyte-like lamprey erythrocyte or in the flat ellipsoidal trout erythrocyte, besides a rounding up at higher amphiphile concentrations. No shapes with large broad spicula were seen. Nevertheless, some of the 'echinocytogenic' amphiphiles induced plasma membrane protrusions in lamprey and trout erythrocytes, from where exovesicles were shed. In trout erythrocytes, occurrence of corrugations at the cell rim preceded protrusion formation. Other 'echinocytogenic' amphiphiles induced invaginations in lamprey erythrocytes. The 'stomatocytogenic' amphiphiles induced invaginations in both lamprey and trout erythrocytes. Surprisingly, in trout erythrocytes, some protrusions also occurred. Some of the amphiphiles hemolyzed lamprey, trout and human erythrocytes at a significantly different concentration/membrane area. Ionophore A23187 plus Ca(2+) induced membrane protrusions and sphering in human and trout erythrocytes; however, the lamprey erythrocyte remained unperturbed. The shape alterations in lamprey erythrocytes, we suggest, are characterized by weak membrane skeleton-lipid bilayer interactions, due to band 3 protein and ankyrin deficiency. In trout erythrocyte, the marginal band of microtubules appears to strongly influence cell shape. Furthermore, the presence of intermediate filaments and nuclei, additionally affecting the cell membrane shear elasticity, apparently influences cell shape changes in lamprey and trout erythrocytes. The different types of shape alterations induced by certain amphiphiles in the cell types indicates that their plasma membrane phospholipid composition differs.

Abstract
Annexin VI (AnxVI), an Ca2+- and phospholipid-binding protein, interacts in vitro with ATP in a calcium-dependent manner. Experimental evidence indicates that its nucleotide-binding domain which is localized in the C-terminal half of the protein differs structurally from ATP/GTP-binding motifs found in other nucleotide-binding proteins. The amino-acid residues of AnxVI directly involved in ATP binding have not been yet defined. Binding of ATP to AnxVI induces changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of protein, affecting the affinity of AnxVI for Ca2+ and, in consequence, influencing the Ca2+-dependent activities of AnxVI: binding to F-actin and to membranous phospholipids, and self-association of the annexin molecules. These observations suggest that ATP is a functional ligand for AnxVI in vivo, and ATP-sensitive AnxVI may play the role of a factor coupling vesicular transport and calcium homeostasis to cellular metabolism.

Abstract
Annexin VI (AnxVI) from porcine liver, a member of the annexin family of Ca(2+)- and membrane-binding proteins, has been shown to bind ATP in vitro with a K(d) in the low micromolar concentration range. However, this protein does not contain within its primary structure any ATP-binding consensus motifs found in other nucleotide-binding proteins. In addition, binding of ATP to AnxVI resulted in modulation of AnxVI function, which was accompanied by changes in AnxVI affinity to Ca2+ in the presence of ATP. Using limited proteolytic digestion, purification of protein fragments by affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose, and direct sequencing, the ATP-binding site of AnxVI was located in a C-terminal half of the AnxVI molecule. To further study AnxVI-nucleotide interaction we have employed a functional nucleotide analog, Cibacron blue 3GA (CB3GA), a triazine dye which is commonly used to purify multiple ATP-binding proteins and has been described to modulate their activities. We have observed that AnxVI binds to CB3GA immobilized on agarose in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Binding is reversed by EGTA and by ATP and, to a lower extent, by other adenine nucleotides. CB3GA binds to AnxVI also in solution, evoking reversible aggregation of protein molecules, which resembles self-association of AnxVI molecules either in solution or on a membrane surface. Our observations support earlier findings that AnxVI is an ATP-binding protein.

Abstract
Structural changes induced by nucleotide binding to porcine liver annexin VI (AnxVI) were probed by reaction-induced difference spectroscopy (RIDS). Photorelease of the nucleotide from ATP[Et(PhNO2)] produced RIDS of AnxVI characterized by reproducible changes in the amide I region. The magnitude of the infrared change was comparable to RIDS of other ATP-binding proteins, such as Ca(2+)-ATPase and creatine and arginine kinases. Analysis of RIDS revealed the existence of ATP-binding site(s) (K(d) < 1 microM) within the AnxVI molecule, comprising five to six amino acid residues located in the C-terminal portion of the protein molecule. The binding stoichiometry of ATP:AnxVI was determined as 1:1 (mol/mol). ATP, in the presence of Ca2+, induced changes in protein secondary structure reflected by a 5% decrease in alpha-helix content of the protein in favor of unordered structure. Such changes may influence the affinity of AnxVI for Ca2+ and modulate its interaction with membranes.

Abstract
Vectamidine is a liposome-forming double-chain cationic amphiphile. The present work was aimed to microscopically study the interactions of Vectamidine liposomes with the human erythrocyte plasma membrane. Vectamidine rapidly induced stomatocytic shapes. Attachment of Vectamidine liposomes to the erythrocyte induced a strong local invagination of the membrane. This frequently resulted in a complete encapsulation of the liposome. Liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine (neutral) or phosphatidylserine/phosphatidylcholine (anionic) did not perturb the erythrocyte shape. Our results indicate that besides an attraction of Vectamidine liposomes to the plasma membrane, there is a preference of Vectamidine for the inner bilayer leaflet. We suggest that cationic amphiphiles may transfer from membrane-attached liposomes to the plasma membrane and then translocate to the inner bilayer leaflet where they induce a strong local inward bending of the plasma membrane resulting in an encapsulation of the liposome.

Abstract
Annexin VI (AnxVI), a member of the annexin family of Ca2+- and membrane-binding proteins, has been shown to interact in vitro with adenine nucleotides. Furthermore, it has been proposed that within the AnxVI molecule a nucleotidde-binding domain exists, which is located in the C-terminal half of the protein, in the vicinity of Trp343. By comparison of exposure of tryptophan and multiple tyrosine residues upon nucleotide binding, as revealed by quenching of intrinsic fluorescence of AnxVI by ATP, ADP or cAMP, it can be concluded that the binding of nucleotides evokes changes in the protein tertiary structure. Moreover, in the course of present study we have found that AnxVI binds to a non-hydrolysable analog of ATP, the triazine dye Cibacron blue 3GA (CB3GA), immobilized on agarose. Binding reveals negative cooperativity with respect to protein concentration and is Ca2+-dependent. Binding is prevented by ATP. CB3GA binds to AnxVI also in solution, evoking the formation of annexin multimers. On the basis of this observation it can be suggested that interaction of CB3GA with AnxVI is useful to examine, with some limitations, the self-association of annexin molecules implying to play a role in interacting of AnxVI with biological membranes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the erythrocyte of the lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis), a primitive vertebrate. The lamprey erythrocyte predominantly has a non-axisymmetric stomatocytelike shape. It has a nucleus and a haemoglobin-filled cytosol with a few organelles and vesicular structures. Surprisingly, there is no marginal band of microtubules. Sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Coomassie blue staining of isolated plasma membranes revealed a single band at the level of the human spectrin doublet. Major bands also occurred at approximately 175 kDa and comigrating with human erythrocyte actin (approximately 45 kDa). The presence of spectrin, actin and vimentin was shown by immunoblotting. Band 3 protein, the anion exchanger in higher vertebrates, seemed to be highly deficient or lacking, as was also the case with ankyrin. Confocal laser scanning microscopy combined with immunocytochemical methods showed spectrin, actin and vimentin mainly to be localized around the nucleus, from where actin- and vimentin-strands extended out into the cytoplasm. Actin also seemed to be present at the plasma membrane. Phospholipid analyses of plasma membrane preparations showed the presence of the same four major phospholipid groups as in the human erythrocyte, although with higher and lower amounts of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, respectively. The low fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated annexin V binding, as monitored by flow cytometry, indicated that phosphatidylserine is mainly confined to the inner membrane leaflet in the lamprey erythrocyte plasma membrane.
