Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating macrophages support critical steps in tumor progression, and their accumulation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is associated with adverse outcomes and therapeutic resistance across human cancers. In the TME, macrophages adopt diverse phenotypic alterations, giving rise to heterogeneous immune activation states and induction of cell cycle. While the transcriptional profiles of these activation states are well-annotated across human cancers, the underlying signals that regulate macrophage heterogeneity and accumulation remain incompletely understood. Here, we leveraged a novel ex vivo organotypic TME (oTME) model of breast cancer, in vivo murine models, and human samples to map the determinants of functional heterogeneity of TME macrophages. We identified a subset of F4/80highSca-1+ self-renewing macrophages maintained by type-I interferon (IFN) signaling and requiring physical contact with cancer-associated fibroblasts. We discovered that the contact-dependent self-renewal of TME macrophages is mediated via Notch4, and its inhibition abrogated tumor growth of breast and ovarian carcinomas in vivo, as well as lung dissemination in a PDX model of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Through spatial multi-omic profiling of protein markers and transcriptomes, we found that the localization of macrophages further dictates functionally distinct but reversible phenotypes, regardless of their ontogeny. Whereas immune-stimulatory macrophages (CD11C+CD86+) populated the tumor epithelial nests, the stroma-associated macrophages (SAMs) were proliferative, immunosuppressive (Sca-1+CD206+PD-L1+), resistant to CSF-1R depletion, and associated with worse patient outcomes. Notably, following cessation of CSF-1R depletion, macrophages rebounded primarily to the SAM phenotype, which was associated with accelerated growth of mammary tumors. Our work reveals the spatial determinants of macrophage heterogeneity in breast cancer and highlights the disruption of macrophage self-renewal as a potential new therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Cancer alters the function of multiple organs beyond those targeted by metastasis1,2. Here we show that inflammation, fatty liver and dysregulated metabolism are hallmarks of systemically affected livers in mouse models and in patients with extrahepatic metastasis. We identified tumour-derived extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) as crucial mediators of cancer-induced hepatic reprogramming, which could be reversed by reducing tumour EVP secretion via depletion of Rab27a. All EVP subpopulations, exosomes and principally exomeres, could dysregulate hepatic function. The fatty acid cargo of tumour EVPs-particularly palmitic acid-induced secretion of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) by Kupffer cells, generating a pro-inflammatory microenvironment, suppressing fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation, and promoting fatty liver formation. Notably, Kupffer cell ablation or TNF blockade markedly decreased tumour-induced fatty liver generation. Tumour implantation or pre-treatment with tumour EVPs diminished cytochrome P450 gene expression and attenuated drug metabolism in a TNF-dependent manner. We also observed fatty liver and decreased cytochrome P450 expression at diagnosis in tumour-free livers of patients with pancreatic cancer who later developed extrahepatic metastasis, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Notably, tumour EVP education enhanced side effects of chemotherapy, including bone marrow suppression and cardiotoxicity, suggesting that metabolic reprogramming of the liver by tumour-derived EVPs may limit chemotherapy tolerance in patients with cancer. Our results reveal how tumour-derived EVPs dysregulate hepatic function and their targetable potential, alongside TNF inhibition, for preventing fatty liver formation and enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Abstract
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) drives mammary gland development and breast cancer (BC) growth through an evolutionarily conserved linkage of DNA binding and hormone activation functions. Therapeutic targeting of the hormone binding pocket is a widely utilized and successful strategy for breast cancer prevention and treatment. However, resistance to this endocrine therapy is frequently encountered and may occur through bypass or reactivation of ER-regulated transcriptional programs. We now identify the induction of an ERα isoform, ERα-LBD, that is encoded by an alternative ESR1 transcript and lacks the activation function and DNA binding domains. Despite lacking the transcriptional activity, ERα-LBD is found to promote breast cancer growth and resistance to the ERα antagonist fulvestrant. ERα-LBD is predominantly localized to the cytoplasm and mitochondria of BC cells and leads to enhanced glycolysis, respiration and stem-like features. Intriguingly, ERα-LBD expression and function does not appear to be restricted to cancers that express full length ERα but also promotes growth of triple-negative breast cancers and ERα-LBD transcript (ESR1-LBD) is also present in BC samples from both ERα(+) and ERα(-) human tumors. These findings point to ERα-LBD as a potential mediator of breast cancer progression and therapy resistance.

Abstract
Cancer cell plasticity due to the dynamic architecture of interactome networks provides a vexing outlet for therapy evasion. Here, through chemical biology approaches for systems level exploration of protein connectivity changes applied to pancreatic cancer cell lines, patient biospecimens, and cell- and patient-derived xenografts in mice, we demonstrate interactomes can be re-engineered for vulnerability. By manipulating epichaperomes pharmacologically, we control and anticipate how thousands of proteins interact in real-time within tumours. Further, we can essentially force tumours into interactome hyperconnectivity and maximal protein-protein interaction capacity, a state whereby no rebound pathways can be deployed and where alternative signalling is supressed. This approach therefore primes interactomes to enhance vulnerability and improve treatment efficacy, enabling therapeutics with traditionally poor performance to become highly efficacious. These findings provide proof-of-principle for a paradigm to overcome drug resistance through pharmacologic manipulation of proteome-wide protein-protein interaction networks.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a primary regulator of the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of monocyte/macrophage that sustains the protumorigenic functions of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Considering current advances in understanding the role of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment, targeting the components of the sarcoma microenvironment, such as TAMs, is a viable strategy. Here, we investigated the effect of PLX3397 (pexidartinib) as a potent inhibitor of the CSF1 receptor (CSF1R). PLX3397 was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat tenosynovial giant cell tumor and reprogram TAMs whose infiltration correlates with unfavorable prognosis of sarcomas. First, we confirmed by cytokine arrays of tumor-conditioned media (TCM) that cytokines including CSF1 are secreted from LM8 osteosarcoma cells and NFSa fibrosarcoma cells. The TCM, like CSF1, stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), polarized BMDMs toward an M2 (TAM-like) phenotype, and strikingly promoted BMDM chemotaxis. In vitro administration of PLX3397 suppressed pERK1/2 stimulation by CSF1 or TCM, and reduced M2 polarization, survival, and chemotaxis in BMDMs. Systemic administration of PLX3397 to the osteosarcoma orthotopic xenograft model significantly suppressed the primary tumor growth and lung metastasis, and thus improved metastasis-free survival. PLX3397 treatment concurrently depleted TAMs and FOXP3+ regulatory T cells and, surprisingly, enhanced infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the microenvironments of both primary and metastatic osteosarcoma sites. Our preclinical results show that PLX3397 has strong macrophage- and T-cell-modulating effects that may translate into cancer immunotherapy for bone and soft-tissue sarcomas.

Abstract
ID proteins are helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcriptional regulators frequently overexpressed in cancer. ID proteins inhibit basic-HLH transcription factors often blocking differentiation and sustaining proliferation. A small-molecule, AGX51, targets ID proteins for degradation and impairs ocular neovascularization in mouse models. Here we show that AGX51 treatment of cancer cell lines impairs cell growth and viability that results from an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production upon ID degradation. In mouse models, AGX51 treatment suppresses breast cancer colonization in the lung, regresses the growth of paclitaxel-resistant breast tumors when combined with paclitaxel and reduces tumor burden in sporadic colorectal neoplasia. Furthermore, in cells and mice, we fail to observe acquired resistance to AGX51 likely the result of the inability to mutate the binding pocket without loss of ID function and efficient degradation of the ID proteins. Thus, AGX51 is a first-in-class compound that antagonizes ID proteins, shows strong anti-tumor effects and may be further developed for the management of multiple cancers.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) require highly regulated rates of protein synthesis, but it is unclear if they or lineage-committed progenitors preferentially recruit transcripts to translating ribosomes. We utilized polysome profiling, RNA sequencing, and whole-proteomic approaches to examine the translatome in LSK (Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+) and myeloid progenitor (MP; Lin-Sca-1-c-Kit+) cells. Our studies show that LSKs exhibit low global translation but high translational efficiencies (TEs) of mRNAs required for HSC maintenance. In contrast, MPs activate translation in an mTOR-independent manner due, at least in part, to proteasomal degradation of mTOR by the E3 ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl. In the near absence of mTOR, CDK1 activates eIF4E-dependent translation in MPs through phosphorylation of 4E-BP1. Aberrant activation of mTOR expression and signaling in c-Cbl-deficient MPs results in increased mature myeloid lineage output. Overall, our data demonstrate that hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) undergo translational reprogramming mediated by previously uncharacterized mechanisms of translational regulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder of hematopoiesis originating in hematopoietic/stem progenitor cells characterized by impaired differentiation and the accumulation of immature blasts in the bone marrow. While genetic, transcriptional, and epigenetic alterations have been comprehensively characterized in human AML, few studies have assessed post-transcriptional and translational regulatory mechanisms in leukemic stem cells (LSCs). We previously identified a novel LSC marker, CD99, that enriches for LSCs among leukemic blasts. We now show that CD99high LSCs express low levels of transcripts encoding ribosomal proteins and exhibit reduced translation compared to non-LSC blasts as assessed by OP-Puro incorporation assays and sucrose gradient polysome profiling. This pattern recapitulates reductions in translation in normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) compared to committed progenitors, suggesting common mechanisms regulating translation in normal and malignant hematopoietic cells. To examine global post-transcriptional and translational regulation in HSCs, we performed polysome profiling, RNA-sequencing and whole-proteomic analysis of HSC-enriched cells (Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+; LSK) and committed myeloid progenitors (MPs; Lin-Sca-1-c-Kit+). While MP cells exhibit higher levels of global translation than LSK cells, LSK cells exhibit higher translational efficiencies (TEs) of transcripts required for HSC maintenance and self-renewal, and MP cells show increased TEs of genes associated with differentiation. Although HSC-enriched LSK cells exhibit lower levels of global translation than MP cells, they show activation of mTOR signaling and high TEs of mTOR dependent transcripts. In contrast, even though MP cells exhibit higher levels of translation than HSCs, Western blot analysis confirms that they lack significant mTOR protein expression or signaling. Indeed, mTOR expression in MP cells is rescued by proteasome inhibitors, and its expression is restored in the absence of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, c-Cbl, demonstrating its regulation by proteasomal degradation. Confirming that mTOR signaling is not required for MP function, mTOR inhibition with rapamycin in vivo or Torin1 ex vivo did not affect MP translation or differentiation. To determine if similar mTOR-independent mechanisms of translational activation are also present in malignant hematopoiesis, we analyzed CD99high LSCs and CD99low non-LSC AML blasts and observed higher mTOR signaling and lower global translation in LSCs, as well as near-absence of mTOR protein expression in non-LSCs, recapitulating the differences observed in LSK versus MP cells. Collectively, these findings establish the presence of developmental stage-specific mechanisms of translational regulation mediated by mTOR in both normal and malignant hematopoiesis.

Abstract
A hallmark of metastasis is the adaptation of tumor cells to new environments. Metabolic constraints imposed by the serine and glycine-limited brain environment restrict metastatic tumor growth. How brain metastases overcome these growth-prohibitive conditions is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glucose-derived serine synthesis, is a major determinant of brain metastasis in multiple human cancer types and preclinical models. Enhanced serine synthesis proved important for nucleotide production and cell proliferation in highly aggressive brain metastatic cells. In vivo, genetic suppression and pharmacologic inhibition of PHGDH attenuated brain metastasis, but not extracranial tumor growth, and improved overall survival in mice. These results reveal that extracellular amino acid availability determines serine synthesis pathway dependence, and suggest that PHGDH inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of brain metastasis. SIGNIFICANCE: Using proteomics, metabolomics, and multiple brain metastasis models, we demonstrate that the nutrient-limited environment of the brain potentiates brain metastasis susceptibility to serine synthesis inhibition. These findings underscore the importance of studying cancer metabolism in physiologically relevant contexts, and provide a rationale for using PHGDH inhibitors to treat brain metastasis.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1241.

Abstract
There is an unmet clinical need for improved tissue and liquid biopsy tools for cancer detection. We investigated the proteomic profile of extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) in 426 human samples from tissue explants (TEs), plasma, and other bodily fluids. Among traditional exosome markers, CD9, HSPA8, ALIX, and HSP90AB1 represent pan-EVP markers, while ACTB, MSN, and RAP1B are novel pan-EVP markers. To confirm that EVPs are ideal diagnostic tools, we analyzed proteomes of TE- (n = 151) and plasma-derived (n = 120) EVPs. Comparison of TE EVPs identified proteins (e.g., VCAN, TNC, and THBS2) that distinguish tumors from normal tissues with 90% sensitivity/94% specificity. Machine-learning classification of plasma-derived EVP cargo, including immunoglobulins, revealed 95% sensitivity/90% specificity in detecting cancer. Finally, we defined a panel of tumor-type-specific EVP proteins in TEs and plasma, which can classify tumors of unknown primary origin. Thus, EVP proteins can serve as reliable biomarkers for cancer detection and determining cancer type.

Abstract
Theranostic agents should ideally be renally cleared and biodegradable. Here, we report the synthesis, characterization and theranostic applications of fluorescent ultrasmall gold quantum clusters that are stabilized by the milk metalloprotein alpha-lactalbumin. We synthesized three types of these nanoprobes that together display fluorescence across the visible and near-infrared spectra when excited at a single wavelength through optical colour coding. In live tumour-bearing mice, the near-infrared nanoprobe generates contrast for fluorescence, X-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and exhibits long circulation times, low accumulation in the reticuloendothelial system, sustained tumour retention, insignificant toxicity and renal clearance. An intravenously administrated near-infrared nanoprobe with a large Stokes shift facilitated the detection and image-guided resection of breast tumours in vivo using a smartphone with modified optics. Moreover, the partially unfolded structure of alpha-lactalbumin in the nanoprobe helps with the formation of an anti-cancer lipoprotein complex with oleic acid that triggers the inhibition of the MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways, immunogenic cell death and the recruitment of infiltrating macrophages. The biodegradability and safety profile of the nanoprobes make them suitable for the systemic detection and localized treatment of cancer.

Abstract
CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have demonstrated great efficacy against a range of B cell malignancies. However, antigen escape and, more generally, heterogeneous antigen expression pose a challenge to applying CAR therapy to a wide range of cancers. We find that low-dose radiation sensitizes tumor cells to immune rejection by locally activated CAR T cells. In a model of pancreatic adenocarcinoma heterogeneously expressing sialyl Lewis-A (sLeA), we show that not only sLeA+ but also sLeA- tumor cells exposed to low-dose radiation become susceptible to CAR therapy, reducing antigen-negative tumor relapse. RNA sequencing analysis of low-dose radiation-exposed tumors reveals the transcriptional signature of cells highly sensitive to TRAIL-mediated death. We find that sLeA-targeted CAR T cells produce TRAIL upon engaging sLeA+ tumor cells, and eliminate sLeA- tumor cells previously exposed to systemic or local low-dose radiation in a TRAIL-dependent manner. These findings enhance the prospects for successfully applying CAR therapy to heterogeneous solid tumors. Local radiation is integral to many tumors' standard of care and can be easily implemented as a CAR conditioning regimen.

Abstract
Abstract
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a hallmark of cancer and it results from ongoing errors in chromosome segregation during mitosis. While CIN is a major driver of tumor evolution, its role in metastasis has not been established. Here we show that CIN promotes metastasis by sustaining a tumor-cell autonomous response to cytosolic DNA. Errors in chromosome segregation create a preponderance of micronuclei whose rupture spills genomic DNA into the cytosol. This leads to the activation of the cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway and downstream noncanonical NF-κB signaling. Genetic suppression of CIN significantly delays metastasis even in highly aneuploid tumor models, whereas inducing continuous chromosome segregation errors promotes cellular invasion and metastasis in a STING-dependent manner. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we uncover a CIN-induced transcriptional switch from a proliferative and metabolically active state to a mesenchymal phenotype associated with inflammatory pathways, offering an opportunity to target chromosome segregation errors for therapeutic benefit. Our work reveals an unexpected link between CIN, cytosolic DNA sensing pathways, and metastasis. The use of an isogenic system has enabled us to dissect the role of CIN from that of aneuploidy. Importantly, while we do not discount the role of CIN in generating karyotypic heterogeneity that can serve as the substrate for natural selection, our work demonstrates that continuous chromosome missegregation is also required to replenish cytosolic DNA pools leading to chronic upregulation of inflammatory pathways. In non-transformed settings, cytosolic DNA sensing is incompatible with viability. Unlike normal cells, chromosomally unstable cells are awash with cytosolic DNA and have adapted to coexist with a chronically active cGAS-STING pathway by suppressing downstream type I interferon signaling and instead upregulating the alternative NF-κB pathway. Persistent STING activation mediates carcinogen-induced tumor formation and we now show that tumor cells co-opt this otherwise lethal program to spread to distant organs. The evolutionary benefit of the noncanonical pathway might justify the scarcity of inactivating mutations in cGAS and STING among human cancers. The emergence, and subsequent tolerance, of CIN represents an important bottleneck during tumor evolution. Our single-cell analysis revealed that CIN induces a transcriptional switch whereby cells shift from a proliferative and highly metabolic state, ideally suited for primary tumor growth, to a chromosomally unstable and mesenchymal state associated with upregulation of inflammatory pathways. These two largely mutually exclusive states likely account for the reversibility in chromosome missegregation rates seen in primary tumors and metastases, and provide an explanation for the negative effect of aneuploidy during early tumorigenesis. Interestingly, this mutual exclusivity was recently observed in a pan-cancer genomic analysis of metastatic tumors, and it leads us to suggest that CIN underlies the subset of metastases that are characterized by EMT and inflammation. By providing a mechanistic link between CIN and metastasis, our work opens new avenues to target chromosomally unstable tumors for therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
At the root of most fatal malignancies are aberrantly activated transcriptional networks that drive metastatic dissemination. Although individual metastasis-associated genes have been described, the complex regulatory networks presiding over the initiation and maintenance of metastatic tumors are still poorly understood. There is untapped value in identifying therapeutic targets that broadly govern coordinated transcriptional modules dictating metastatic progression. Here, we reverse engineered and interrogated a breast cancer-specific transcriptional interaction network (interactome) to define transcriptional control structures causally responsible for regulating genetic programs underlying breast cancer metastasis in individual patients. Our analyses confirmed established pro-metastatic transcription factors, and they uncovered TRIM25 as a key regulator of metastasis-related transcriptional programs. Further, in vivo analyses established TRIM25 as a potent regulator of metastatic disease and poor survival outcome. Our findings suggest that identifying and targeting keystone proteins, like TRIM25, can effectively collapse transcriptional hierarchies necessary for metastasis formation, thus representing an innovative cancer intervention strategy.

Abstract
Development of targeted nanoparticle drug carriers often requires complex synthetic schemes involving both supramolecular self-assembly and chemical modification. These processes are generally difficult to predict, execute, and control. We describe herein a targeted drug delivery system that is accurately and quantitatively predicted to self-assemble into nanoparticles based on the molecular structures of precursor molecules, which are the drugs themselves. The drugs assemble with the aid of sulfated indocyanines into particles with ultrahigh drug loadings of up to 90%. We devised quantitative structure-nanoparticle assembly prediction (QSNAP) models to identify and validate electrotopological molecular descriptors as highly predictive indicators of nano-assembly and nanoparticle size. The resulting nanoparticles selectively targeted kinase inhibitors to caveolin-1-expressing human colon cancer and autochthonous liver cancer models to yield striking therapeutic effects while avoiding pERK inhibition in healthy skin. This finding enables the computational design of nanomedicines based on quantitative models for drug payload selection.

Abstract
Chromosomal instability is a hallmark of cancer that results from ongoing errors in chromosome segregation during mitosis. Although chromosomal instability is a major driver of tumour evolution, its role in metastasis has not been established. Here we show that chromosomal instability promotes metastasis by sustaining a tumour cell-autonomous response to cytosolic DNA. Errors in chromosome segregation create a preponderance of micronuclei whose rupture spills genomic DNA into the cytosol. This leads to the activation of the cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes) cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway and downstream noncanonical NF-κB signalling. Genetic suppression of chromosomal instability markedly delays metastasis even in highly aneuploid tumour models, whereas continuous chromosome segregation errors promote cellular invasion and metastasis in a STING-dependent manner. By subverting lethal epithelial responses to cytosolic DNA, chromosomally unstable tumour cells co-opt chronic activation of innate immune pathways to spread to distant organs.

Abstract
Polymeric nanocarriers such as N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers deliver drugs to solid tumors and avoid the systemic toxicity of conventional chemotherapy. Because HPMA copolymers can target sites of inflammation and accumulate within innate immune cells, we hypothesized that HPMA copolymers could target tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in both primary and metastatic tumor microenvironments. We verified this hypothesis, first in preliminary experiments with isolated bone marrow macrophage cultures in vitro and subsequently in a spontaneously metastatic murine breast cancer model generated from a well-established, cytogenetically characterized 4T1 breast cancer cell line. Using our standardized experimental conditions, we detected primary orthotopic tumor growth at 7 days and metastatic tumors at 28 days after orthotopic transplantation of 4T1 cells into the mammary fat pad. We investigated the uptake of HPMA copolymer conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647 and folic acid (P-Alexa647-FA) and HPMA copolymer conjugated with IRDye 800CW (P-IRDye), following their retroorbital injection into the primary and metastatic tumor-bearing mice. A significant uptake of P-IRDye was observed at all primary and metastatic tumor sites in these mice, and the P-Alexa647-FA signal was found specifically within CD11b+ TAMs costained with pan-macrophage marker CD68. These findings demonstrate, for the first time, a novel capacity of a P-Alexa647-FA conjugate to colocalize to CD11b+CD68+ TAMs in both primary and metastatic breast tumors. This underscores the potential of this HPMA nanocarrier to deliver functional therapeutics that specifically target tumor-promoting macrophage activation and/or polarization during tumor development.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: PI3K-pathway activation is the second most common genetic abnormality occurring in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Mutation or amplification of PIK3CA, the gene coding for the p110α subunit of PI3K, occur in 34%-56% of HNSCC and there is evidence that targeting PI3Kα in these tumors can be radiosensitizing. Small molecule kinase inhibitors of PI3Kα are showing promising activity. However, the use of this molecule is limited by serious side effects such as hyperglycemia, diarrhea and rush. In this study we aimed to apply novel nanotechnology for targeted drug delivery via the cell adhesion molecule P-selectin, which was previously shown to be overexpressed in tumor microvasculature. Furthermore, P-selectin is up regulated following radiation therapy (RT), which could enhance drug delivery using targeted nanoparticles.
Experimental design: We explored the efficacy and specificity of targeted delivery of BYL719, a potent alpha-specific PI3K inhibitor, using nanoparticles that selectively target P-selectin present in the tumor microvasculature in PIK3CA-mutated HNSCC. We compared the antitumor effects of nanoparticle delivery versus standard oral gavage with free drug in PIK3CA mutated HNSCC cell line- and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). In addition, we compared blood glucose and insulin levels between standard BYL719 administration and nanoparticle drug delivery at different time points after treatment. Furthermore, we sought to evaluate the radiosensitizing properties of BYL719 when combined with fractionated RT of 5X4Gy.
Results: P-selectin targeted delivery of 50 mg/kg/week BYL719 resulted in a significant tumor growth delay, which was comparable to the standard drug administration of 350 mg/kg/week (50 mg/kg/daily). While blood glucose and insulin levels were spiking after standard oral gavage of BYL719, these parameters were virtually unchanged upon nanoparticle administration of the drug. The radiosensitizing abilities of low-dose nanoparticle-linked BYL719 were comparable to the drug concentrations used in standard daily BYL719 administration. When given concomitantly with fractionated RT, both methods showed robust enhancement of radiotherapy response in all the models tested resulting in durable control of tumor growth.
Conclusions: P-selectin targeted delivery of a PI3Kα inhibitor resulted in inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway without affecting glucose or insulin levels. The magnitude of pathway inhibition was sufficient to radiosensitize several HNSCC animal models. This novel targeting strategy could be translated to the clinic to treat patients with PIK3CA activated and radioresistant HNSCC tumors sparing most of the systemic adverse effects of PI3K inhibition.

Abstract
The hypothesis that microvesicle-mediated miRNA transfer converts noncancer stem cells into cancer stem cells (CSC) leading to therapy resistance remains poorly investigated. Here we provide direct evidence supporting this hypothesis, by demonstrating how microvesicles derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) transfer miR-221 to promote hormonal therapy resistance (HTR) in models of luminal breast cancer. We determined that CAF-derived microvesicles horizontally transferred miR-221 to tumor cells and, in combination with hormone therapy, activated an ERlo/Notchhi feed-forward loop responsible for the generation of CD133hi CSCs. Importantly, microvesicles from patients with HTR metastatic disease expressed high levels of miR-221. We further determined that the IL6-pStat3 pathway promoted the biogenesis of onco-miR-221hi CAF microvesicles and established stromal CSC niches in experimental and patient-derived breast cancer models. Coinjection of patient-derived CAFs from bone metastases led to de novo HTR tumors, which was reversed with IL6R blockade. Finally, we generated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models from patient-derived HTR bone metastases and analyzed tumor cells, stroma, and microvesicles. Murine and human CAFs were enriched in HTR tumors expressing high levels of CD133hi cells. Depletion of murine CAFs from PDX restored sensitivity to HT, with a concurrent reduction of CD133hi CSCs. Conversely, in models of CD133neg, HT-sensitive cancer cells, both murine and human CAFs promoted de novo HT resistance via the generation of CD133hi CSCs that expressed low levels of estrogen receptor alpha. Overall, our results illuminate how microvesicle-mediated horizontal transfer of genetic material from host stromal cells to cancer cells triggers the evolution of therapy-resistant metastases, with potentially broad implications for their control.

Abstract
The mechanisms of metastatic progression from hormonal therapy (HT) are largely unknown in luminal breast cancer. Here we demonstrate the enrichment of CD133hi/ERlo cancer cells in clinical specimens following neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and in HT refractory metastatic disease. We develop experimental models of metastatic luminal breast cancer and demonstrate that HT can promote the generation of HT-resistant, self-renewing CD133hi/ERlo/IL6hi cancer stem cells (CSCs). HT initially abrogates oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) generating self-renewal-deficient cancer cells, CD133hi/ERlo/OXPHOSlo. These cells exit metabolic dormancy via an IL6-driven feed-forward ERlo-IL6hi-Notchhi loop, activating OXPHOS, in the absence of ER activity. The inhibition of IL6R/IL6-Notch pathways switches the self-renewal of CD133hi CSCs, from an IL6/Notch-dependent one to an ER-dependent one, through the re-expression of ER. Thus, HT induces an OXPHOS metabolic editing of luminal breast cancers, paradoxically establishing HT-driven self-renewal of dormant CD133hi/ERlo cells mediating metastatic progression, which is sensitive to dual targeted therapy. ER+ breast cancer patients treated with endocrine therapies often acquire resistance and develop metastasis. In this study, the authors demonstrate that endocrine therapies can promote the self-renewal of CD133hi/ERlo drug resistant cells with metastatic potential driven through the IL6-Notch3 axis activation.

Abstract
Ever since Stephen Paget's 1889 hypothesis, metastatic organotropism has remained one of cancer's greatest mysteries. Here we demonstrate that exosomes from mouse and human lung-, liver- and brain-tropic tumour cells fuse preferentially with resident cells at their predicted destination, namely lung fibroblasts and epithelial cells, liver Kupffer cells and brain endothelial cells. We show that tumour-derived exosomes uptaken by organ-specific cells prepare the pre-metastatic niche. Treatment with exosomes from lung-tropic models redirected the metastasis of bone-tropic tumour cells. Exosome proteomics revealed distinct integrin expression patterns, in which the exosomal integrins α6β4 and α6β1 were associated with lung metastasis, while exosomal integrin αvβ5 was linked to liver metastasis. Targeting the integrins α6β4 and αvβ5 decreased exosome uptake, as well as lung and liver metastasis, respectively. We demonstrate that exosome integrin uptake by resident cells activates Src phosphorylation and pro-inflammatory S100 gene expression. Finally, our clinical data indicate that exosomal integrins could be used to predict organ-specific metastasis.

Abstract
Corneal endothelium is a single layer of specialized cells that lines the posterior surface of cornea and maintains corneal hydration and corneal transparency essential for vision. Currently, transplantation is the only therapeutic option for diseases affecting the corneal endothelium. Transplantation of corneal endothelium, called endothelial keratoplasty, is widely used for corneal endothelial diseases. However, corneal transplantation is limited by global donor shortage. Therefore, there is a need to overcome the deficiency of sufficient donor corneal tissue. New approaches are being explored to engineer corneal tissues such that sufficient amount of corneal endothelium becomes available to offset the present shortage of functional cornea. Although human corneal endothelial cells have limited proliferative capacity in vivo, several laboratories have been successful in in vitro expansion of human corneal endothelial cells. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of different substrates employed for in vitro cultivation of human corneal endothelial cells. Advances and emerging challenges with ex vivo cultured corneal endothelial layer for the ultimate goal of therapeutic replacement of dysfunctional corneal endothelium in humans with functional corneal endothelium are also presented.

Abstract
Translational control plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the pluripotency network in embryonic stem cells, but its effect on reprogramming somatic cells to pluripotency has not been explored. Here, we show that eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binding proteins (4E-BPs), which are translational repressors, have a multifaceted effect on the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Loss of 4E-BP expression attenuates the induction of iPSCs at least in part through increased translation of p21, a known inhibitor of somatic cell reprogramming. However, MEFs lacking both p53 and 4E-BPs show greatly enhanced reprogramming resulting from a combination of reduced p21 transcription and enhanced translation of endogenous mRNAs such as Sox2 and Myc and can be reprogrammed through the expression of only exogenous Oct4. Thus, 4E-BPs exert both positive and negative effects on reprogramming, highlighting the key role that translational control plays in regulating this process.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults and half of the primary tumors will develop fatal metastatic disease to the liver and the lung. Crizotinib, an inhibitor of c-Met, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and ROS1, inhibited the phosphorylation of the c-Met receptor but not of ALK or ROS1 in uveal melanoma cells and tumor tissue. Consequently, migration of uveal melanoma cells was suppressed in vitro at a concentration associated with the specific inhibition of c-Met phosphorylation. This effect on cell migration could be recapitulated with siRNA specific to c-Met but not to ALK or ROS1. Therefore, we developed a uveal melanoma metastatic mouse model with EGFP-luciferase-labeled uveal melanoma cells transplanted by retro-orbital injections to test the effect of crizotinib on metastasis. In this model, there was development of melanoma within the eye and also metastases to the liver and lung at 7 weeks after the initial transplantation. When mice were treated with crizotinib starting 1 week after the transplantation, we observed a significant reduction in the development of metastases as compared with untreated control sets. These results indicate that the inhibition of c-Met activity alone may be sufficient to strongly inhibit metastasis of uveal melanoma from forming, suggesting crizotinib as a potential adjuvant therapy for patients with primary uveal melanoma who are at high risk for the development of metastatic disease.

Abstract
New anticancer drugs that target oncogenic signaling molecules have greatly improved the treatment of certain cancers. However, resistance to targeted therapeutics is a major clinical problem and the redundancy of oncogenic signaling pathways provides back-up mechanisms that allow cancer cells to escape. For example, the AKT and PIM kinases produce parallel oncogenic signals and share many molecular targets, including activators of cap-dependent translation. Here, we show that PIM kinase expression can affect the clinical outcome of lymphoma chemotherapy. We observe the same in animal lymphoma models. Whereas chemoresistance caused by AKT is readily reversed with rapamycin, PIM-mediated resistance is refractory to mTORC1 inhibition. However, both PIM- and AKT-expressing lymphomas depend on cap-dependent translation, and genetic or pharmacological blockade of the translation initiation complex is highly effective against these tumors. The therapeutic effect of blocking cap-dependent translation is mediated, at least in part, by decreased production of short-lived oncoproteins including c-MYC, Cyclin D1, MCL1, and the PIM1/2 kinases themselves. Hence, targeting the convergence of oncogenic survival signals on translation initiation is an effective alternative to combinations of kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Eukaryotic cap-dependent mRNA translation is mediated by the initiation factor eIF4E, which binds mRNAs and stimulates efficient translation initiation. eIF4E is often overexpressed in human cancers. To elucidate the molecular signature of eIF4E target mRNAs, we analyzed sequence and structural properties of two independently derived polyribosome recruited mRNA datasets. These datasets originate from studies of mRNAs that are actively being translated in response to cells over-expressing eIF4E or cells with an activated oncogenic AKT: eIF4E signaling pathway, respectively. Comparison of eIF4E target mRNAs to mRNAs insensitive to eIF4E-regulation has revealed surprising features in mRNA secondary structure, length and microRNA-binding properties. Fold-changes (the relative change in recruitment of an mRNA to actively translating polyribosomal complexes in response to eIF4E overexpression or AKT upregulation) are positively correlated with mRNA G+C content and negatively correlated with total and 3′UTR length of the mRNAs. A machine learning approach for predicting the fold change was created. Interesting tendencies of secondary structure stability are found near the start codon and at the beginning of the 3′UTR region. Highly upregulated mRNAs show negative selection (site avoidance) for binding sites of several microRNAs. These results are consistent with the emerging model of regulation of mRNA translation through a dynamic balance between translation initiation at the 5′UTR and microRNA binding at the 3′UTR.

Abstract
The acquisition and maintenance of cell fate are essential for metazoan growth and development. A strict coordination between genetic and epigenetic programs regulates cell fate determination and maintenance. Polycomb group (PcG) genes are identified as essential in these epigenetic developmental processes. These genes encode components of multimeric transcriptional repressor complexes that are crucial in maintaining cell fate. PcG proteins have also been shown to play a central role in stem cell maintenance and lineage specification. PcG proteins, together with a battery of components including sequence-specific DNA binding/accessory factors, chromatin remodeling factors, signaling pathway intermediates, noncoding small RNAs, and RNA interference machinery, generally define a dynamic cellular identity through tight regulation of specific gene expression patterns. Epigenetic modification of chromatin structure that results in expression silencing of specific genes is now emerging as an important molecular mechanism in this process. In embryonic stem (ES) cells and adult stem cells, such specific genes represent those associated with differentiation and development, and silencing of these genes in a PcG protein-dependent manner confers stemness. ES cells also contain novel chromatin motifs enriched in epigenetic modifications associated with both activation and repression of genes, suggesting that certain genes are poised for activation or repression. Interestingly, these chromatin domains are highly coincident with the promoters of developmental regulators, which are also found to be occupied by PcG proteins. The epigenetic integrity is compromised, however, by mutations or other alterations that affect the function of PcG proteins in stem cells leading to aberrant cell proliferation and tissue transformation, a hallmark of cancer. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is found at the end of this article.

Abstract
Background Translation deregulation is an important mechanism that causes aberrant cell growth, proliferation and survival. eIF4E, the mRNA 5′ cap-binding protein, plays a major role in translational control. To understand how eIF4E affects cell proliferation and survival, we studied mRNA targets that are translationally responsive to eIF4E. Methodology/Principal Findings Microarray analysis of polysomal mRNA from an eIF4E-inducible NIH 3T3 cell line was performed. Inducible expression of eIF4E resulted in increased translation of defined sets of mRNAs. Many of the mRNAs are novel targets, including those that encode large- and small-subunit ribosomal proteins and cell growth-related factors. In addition, there was augmented translation of mRNAs encoding anti-apoptotic proteins, which conferred resistance to endoplasmic reticulum-mediated apoptosis. Conclusions/Significance Our results shed new light on the mechanisms by which eIF4E prevents apoptosis and transforms cells. Downregulation of eIF4E and its downstream targets is a potential therapeutic option for the development of novel anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
The primary characteristics of adult stem cells are maintaining prolonged quiescence, ability to self-renew and plasticity to differentiate into multiple cell types. These properties are evolutionarily conserved from fruit fly to humans. Similar to normal tissue repair in organs, the stem cell concept is inherently impregnated in the etiology of cancer. Tumors contain a minor population of tumor-initiating cells, called "cancer stem cells". The cancer stem cells maintain some similarities in self-renewal and differentiation features of normal adult stem cells. Therefore, various methods developed originally for the analysis and characterization of adult stem cells are being extended to evaluate cancer stem cells. Relevant methods that are used generally across normal stem cells as well as cancer stem cells are summarized. Combination of two or more of these methods for validation of cancer stem cells appears to be a promising approach for the precise isolation and analysis of cancer stem cells.

Abstract
This article forms a review and an appraisal of the third annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (http://www.isscr.org), held in San Francisco on June 23-25, 2005. The focus of the meeting was recent advances in stem cell biology. More than 2,000 scientists from around the world met to discuss stem cell research, clinical applications, and the ethical hurdles facing the field. Major topics highlighted during the meeting included the self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells as well as adult stem cells. Presentations included diverse topics such as cancer stem cells, tissue-specific stem cells, technology development, and clinical aspects of stem cells. Given the excitement the field has generated, linking basic stem cell research and clinical applications was paramount for discussion at the meeting. With the current resources in molecular biology research, improvements in genetic engineering, postgenomic capabilities, and biotechnological advances, it appears timely that stem cell biology research is headed toward making a major therapeutic contribution to human health.

Abstract
It is commonly assumed that developmental and oncogenic signaling achieve their phenotypic effects primarily by directly regulating the transcriptional profile of cells. However, there is growing evidence that the direct effect on transcription may be overshadowed by differential effects on the translational efficiency of specific existing mRNA species. Global analysis of this effect using microarrays indicates that this mechanism of controlling protein production provides a highly specific, robust, and rapid response to oncogenic and developmental stimuli. The mRNAs so affected encode proteins involved in cell-cell interaction, signal transduction, and growth control. Furthermore, a large number of transcription factors capable of secondarily rearranging the transcriptional profile of the cell are controlled at this level as well. To what degree this translational control is either necessary or sufficient for tumor formation or maintenance remains to be determined.

Abstract
In order to determine the global effects of oncogenic Ras and Akt signaling pathways on translational efficiencies, we compared the gene expression profiles of total cellular mRNA and mRNA associated with polysomes. We found that the immediate effect of Ras and Akt signaling blockade on transcription was relatively modest; however, the profile of mRNA associated with polysomes was substantially altered. These observations indicate that the immediate effect of Ras and Akt signaling regulates the recruitment of specific mRNAs to ribosomes to a far greater extent than they regulate the production of mRNAs by transcriptional effects. The mRNAs most affected are those encoding proteins that regulate growth, transcription regulation, cell to cell interactions, and morphology. These data support a model whereby Ras and Akt signaling primarily lead to cellular transformation by altering the transcriptome and producing a radical shift in the composition of mRNAs associated with actively translating polysomes.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) cv Williams 82 suspension cultures exhibit an oxidative burst approximately 3 h after challenge with Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea (Psg) harboring the avrA (avirulence) gene. Pretreatment with the tyrosine (Tyr) kinase inhibitor herbimycin A or the serine/threonine kinase inhibitor K252a abolished the burst and subsequent induction of glutathione S-transferase. However, imposition of a 45-min rest period between pathogen challenge and subsequent addition of the kinase inhibitors resulted in escape from inhibition by herbimycin A, whereas inhibition by K252a persisted. Suramin, a G-protein inhibitor, inhibited the burst if added up to 90 min after pathogen challenge. The burst was also induced by the ion channel generator amphotericin B, and this induction was sensitive to suramin and K252a. Conversely, the ion channel blocker anthracene-9-carboxylate inhibited the Psg:avrA-induced burst. Psg:avrA rapidly induced Tyr phosphorylation of several proteins, and this was inhibited by herbimycin A or anthracene 9-carboxylic acid. These data suggest that the activation of ion channels is followed by an upstream Tyr kinase before the serine/threonine kinase-dependent steps in the signal pathway leading to the oxidative burst. Psg:avrA-dependent induction of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase was not inhibited by herbimycin or suramin, suggesting the operation of different signal pathways for the oxidative burst and phenylpropanoid-derived defense responses.

Abstract
The phenylpropanoid-derived natural product salicylic acid (SA) plays a key role in disease resistance. However, SA administered in the absence of a pathogen is a paradoxically weak inductive signal, often requiring concentrations of 0.5 to 5 mM to induce acquired resistance or related defense mechanisms or to precondition signal systems. In contrast, endogenous SA accumulates to concentrations of < 70 microM at the site of attempted infection. Here, we show that although 10 to 100 microM SA had negligible effects when administered to soybean cell suspensions in the absence of a pathogen, physiological concentrations of SA markedly enhanced the induction of defense gene transcripts, H2O2 accumulation, and hypersensitive cell death by an avirulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea, with optimal effects being at approximately 50 microM. SA also synergistically enhanced H2O2 accumulation in response to the protein phosphatase type 2A inhibitor cantharidin in the absence of a pathogen. The synergistic effect of SA was potent, rapid, and insensitive to the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, and we conclude that SA stimulates an agonist-dependent gain control operating at an early step in the signal pathway for induction of the hypersensitive response. This fine control mechanism differs from previously described time-dependent, inductive coarse control mechanisms for SA action in the absence of a pathogen. Induction of H2O2 accumulation and hypersensitive cell death by avirulent P. s. glycinea was blocked by the phenylpropanoid synthesis inhibitor alpha-aminooxy-beta-phenylpropionic acid, and these responses could be rescued by exogenous SA. Because the agonist-dependent gain control operates at physiological levels of SA, we propose that rapid fine control signal amplification makes an important contribution to SA function in the induction of disease resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
A DNA primase activity was isolated from pea chloroplasts and examined for its role in replication. The DNA primase activity was separated from the majority of the chloroplast RNA polymerase activity by linear salt gradient elution from a DEAE-cellulose column, and the two enzyme activities were separately purified through heparin-Sepharose columns. The primase activity was not inhibited by tagetitoxin, a specific inhibitor of chloroplast RNA polymerase, or by polyclonal antibodies prepared against purified pea chloroplast RNA polymerase, while the RNA polymerase activity was inhibited completely by either tagetitoxin or the polyclonal antibodies. The DNA primase activity was capable of priming DNA replication on single-stranded templates including poly(dT), poly(dC), M13mp19, and M13mp19 + 2.1, which contains the AT-rich pea chloroplast origin of replication. The RNA polymerase fraction was incapable of supporting incorporation of 3H-TTP in in vitro replication reactions using any of these single-stranded DNA templates. Glycerol gradient analysis indicated that the pea chloroplast DNA primase (115-120 kDa) separated from the pea chloroplast DNA polymerase (90 kDa), but is much smaller than chloroplast RNA polymerase. Because of these differences in size, template specificity, sensitivity to inhibitors, and elution characteristics, it is clear that the pea chloroplast DNA primase is an distinct enzyme form RNA polymerase. In vitro replication activity using the DNA primase fraction required all four rNTPs for optimum activity. The chloroplast DNA primase was capable of priming DNA replication activity on any single-stranded M13 template, but shows a strong preference for M13mp19 + 2.1. Primers synthesized using M13mp19 + 2.1 are resistant to DNase I, and range in size from 4 to about 60 nucleotides.

Abstract
Pea chloroplast RNA polymerase has been obtained with about 2000-fold purification using DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography. The purified enzyme contained ten prominent polypeptides of 150, 130, 115, 110, 95, 85, 75, 48, 44 and 39 kDa and four other minor polypeptides of 90, 34, 32 and 27 kDa. Purification of this enzyme using chloroplast 16S rDNA promoter affinity column chromatography also yielded an enzyme with similar polypeptides. Purified polyclonal antibodies against the purified chloroplast RNA polymerase were found to recognize most of the polypeptides of the enzyme in Western blot experiments. Primary mobility shift of the 16S rRNA gene and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit (rbc-L) gene promoters observed with the chloroplast RNA polymerase was abolished by these antibodies. The specific in vitro transcription of these rRNA and mRNA genes was also inhibited by these antibodies. The transcription of the rRNA and mRNA genes was also abolished by tagetitoxin, a specific inhibitor of chloroplast RNA polymerase. The chloroplast RNA polymerase was found to bind specifically to the chloroplast 16S rRNA gene promoter region as visualized in electron microscopy. The presence of the polypeptides of 130, 110, 75-95 and 48 kDa in the DNA-enzyme complex was confirmed by a novel approach using immunogold labeling with the respective antibodies. The polypeptides of this purified RNA polymerase were found to be localized in chloroplasts by an indirect immunofluorescence.

Abstract
In etiolated squash (Cucurbita maxima L.) cotyledons, nitrate-inducible NADH:nitrate reductase activity and protein were increased in darkness by red light pulses with red/far-red photoreversibility. Continuous far-red light also led to increased levels of nitrate reductase activity and protein. Poly(A)+RNA, which hybridizes to squash nitrate reductase cDNA, was also increased by light treatments. Thus, we found that after nitrate triggering, nitrate reductase expression appears to be regulated by light via phytochrome.

Abstract
Nitrate-induced and phytochrome-modulated appearance of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1) and nitrite reductase (NIR; EC 1.7.7.1) in the cotyledons of the mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedling is strongly affected by externally supplied ammonium (NH 4 (+) ). In short-term experiments between 60 and 78 h after sowing it was found that in darkness NH 4 (+) -simultaneously given with NO 3 (-) -strongly inhibits appearance of nitrate-inducible NR and NIR whereas in continuous far-red light-which operates exclusively via phytochrome without significant chlorophyll formation -NH 4 (+) (simultaneously given with NO 3 (-) ) strongly stimulates appearance of NR. The NIR levels are not affected. This indicates that NR and NIR levels are regulated differently. In the absence of external NO 3 (-) appearance of NR is induced by NH4 in darkness as well as in continuous far-red light whereas NIR levels are not affected. On the other hand, in the absence of external NO 3 (-) , exogenous NH 4 (+) strongly inhibits growth of the mustard seedling in darkness as well as in continuous far-red light. This effect can be abolished by simultaneously supplying NO 3 (-) . The adverse effect of NH 4 (+) on growth ('NH 4 (+) -toxicity') cannot be attributed to pH-changes in the medium since it was shown that neither the growth responses nor the changes of the enzyme levels are related to pH changes in the medium. Non-specific osmotic effects are not involved either.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In a preceding paper (Oelmüller and Mohr 1986, Planta 167, 106-113) it was shown that in the cotyledons of the mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedling the integrity of the plastid is a necessary prerequisite for phytochrome-controlled appearance of translatable mRNA for the nuclear-encoded small subunit (SSU) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein of photosystem II (LHCP). It was concluded that a signal from the plastid is essential for the expression of nuclear genes involved in plastidogenesis. The present study was undertaken to characterize this postulated signal. Chloramphenicol, an inhibitor of intraplastidic protein synthesis and Norflurazon, an inhibitor of carotenoid synthesis (to bring about photooxidative sensitivity of the plastids) were applied. We obtained the following major results. (i) After a brief period of photooxidative damage a rapid decrease of the above translatable mRNAs was observed. CONCLUSION the signal is short-lived and thus required continually. (ii) Once the plastids became damaged by photooxidation, no recovery with regard to nuclear gene expression was observed after a transfer to non-damaging light conditions. CONCLUSION even a brief period of damage suffices to prevent production of the signal. (iii) Chloramphenicol inhibited nuclear gene expression (SSU, LHCP) and plastidic development when applied during the early stages of plastidogenesis. Once a certain stage had been reached (between 36-48 h after sowing at 25° C) nuclear gene expression became remarkably insensitive toward inhibition of intraplastidic translation. CONCLUSION a certain developmental stage of the plastid must be reached before the signal is released by the plastid. (iv) Under the growth conditions we adopted in our experiments the plastids in the mesophyll cells of mustard cotyledons developed essentially between 36 and 120 (-144) h after sowing. Only during this period could translatable mRNAs for SSU and LHCP be detected. CONCLUSION the signal is released by the plastids only during this time span.

Abstract
Nitrite reductase (NIR; EC 1.7.7.1) is a central enzyme in nitrate assimilation and is localized in plastids. The present study concerns the regulation of the appearance of NIR in cotyledons of the mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedling. It was shown that light exerts its positive control over the nitrate-mediated induction of NIR via the farred-absorbing form of phytochrome. Without nitrate the light effect cannot express itself; even though the light signal is accumulated in the cotyledons it remains totally cryptic in the absence of nitrate. Moreover, it was recognised that 'intact plastids' are important in the control of the appearance of NIR. If the plastids are damaged by photooxidation the action of nitrate and phytochrome on NIR appearance is abolished. The appearance of nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6.6.1) responds similarly to photooxidative damage even though this enzyme is cytosolic. While the data strongly indicate that some 'plastidic signal' is a prerequisite for the nitrate-induced and phytochrome-modulated appearance of NIR and NR, the possibility could not be ruled out that photooxidative damage affects the accumulation of NIR in the organelle.
