Abstract
Introduction Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dissipates energy in the form of heat majorly via the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). The activation of BAT, which is enriched in the neck area and contains brown and beige adipocytes in humans, was considered as a potential therapeutic target to treat obesity. Therefore, finding novel agents that can stimulate the differentiation and recruitment of brown or beige thermogenic adipocytes are important subjects for investigation. The current study investigated how the availability of extracellular thiamine (vitamin B1), an essential cofactor of mitochondrial enzyme complexes that catalyze key steps in the catabolism of nutrients, affects the expression of thermogenic marker genes and proteins and subsequent functional parameters during ex vivo adipocyte differentiation. Methods We differentiated primary human adipogenic progenitors that were cultivated from subcutaneous (SC) or deep neck (DN) adipose tissues in the presence of gradually increasing thiamine concentrations during their 14-day differentiation program. mRNA and protein expression of thermogenic genes were analyzed by RT-qPCR and western blot, respectively. Cellular respiration including stimulated maximal and proton-leak respiration was measured by Seahorse analysis. Results Higher thiamine levels resulted in increased expression of thiamine transporter 1 and 2 both at mRNA and protein levels in human neck area-derived adipocytes. Gradually increasing concentrations of thiamine led to increased basal, cAMP-stimulated, and proton-leak respiration along with elevated mitochondrial biogenesis of the differentiated adipocytes. The extracellular thiamine availability during adipogenesis determined the expression levels of UCP1, PGC1a, CKMT2, and other browning-related genes and proteins in primary SC and DN-derived adipocytes in a concentration-dependent manner. Providing abundant amounts of thiamine further increased the thermogenic competency of the adipocytes. Discussion Case studies in humans reported that thiamine deficiency was found in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. Our study raises the possibility of a novel strategy with long-term thiamine supplementation, which can enhance the thermogenic competency of differentiating neck area-derived adipocytes for preventing or combating obesity.

Abstract
The human P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transporter responsible for multidrug resistance, is present in the plasma membrane's raft and non-raft domains. One specific conformation of P-gp that binds to the monoclonal antibody UIC2 is primarily associated with raft domains and displays heightened internalization in cells overexpressing P-gp, such as in NIH-3T3 MDR1 cells. Our primary objective was to investigate whether the trafficking of this particular P-gp conformer is dependent on cholesterol levels. Surprisingly, depleting cholesterol using cyclodextrin resulted in an unexpected increase in the proportion of raft-associated P-gp within the cell membrane, as determined by UIC2-reactive P-gp. This increase appears to be a compensatory response to cholesterol loss from the plasma membrane, whereby cholesterol-rich raft micro-domains are delivered to the cell surface through an augmented exocytosis process. Furthermore, this exocytotic event is found to be part of a complex trafficking mechanism involving lysosomal exocytosis, which contributes to membrane repair after cholesterol reduction induced by cyclodextrin treatment. Notably, cells overexpressing P-gp demonstrated higher total cellular cholesterol levels, an increased abundance of stable lysosomes, and more effective membrane repair following cholesterol modifications. These modifications encompassed exocytotic events that involved the transport of P-gp-carrying rafts. Importantly, the enhanced membrane repair capability resulted in a durable phenotype for MDR1 expressing cells, as evidenced by significantly improved viabilities of multidrug-resistant Pgp-overexpressing immortal NIH-3T3 MDR1 and MDCK-MDR1 cells compared to their parents when subjected to cholesterol alterations.

Abstract
The ABC transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp) has been found to be involved in multidrug resistance in tumor cells. Lipids and cholesterol have a pivotal role in Pgp's conformations; however, it is often difficult to investigate it with conventional structural biology techniques. Here, we applied robust approaches coupled with cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), where the natural lipid environment remains quasi-intact. Two experimental approaches were carried out using different cross-linkers (i) on living cells, followed by membrane preparation and immunoprecipitation enrichment of Pgp, and (ii) on-bead, subsequent to membrane preparation and immunoprecipitation. Pgp-containing complexes were enriched employing extracellular monoclonal anti-Pgp antibodies on magnetic beads, followed by on-bead enzymatic digestion. The LC-MS/MS results revealed mono-links on Pgp's solvent-accessible residues, while intraprotein cross-links confirmed a complex interplay between extracellular, transmembrane, and intracellular segments of the protein, of which several have been reported to be connected to cholesterol. Harnessing the MS results and those of molecular docking, we suggest an epitope for the 15D3 cholesterol-dependent mouse monoclonal antibody. Additionally, enriched neighbors of Pgp prove the strong connection of Pgp to the cytoskeleton and other cholesterol-regulated proteins. These findings suggest that XL-MS may be utilized for protein structure and network analyses in such convoluted systems as membrane proteins.

Abstract
The roles and molecular interactions of polyamines (PAs) in the nucleus are not fully understood. Here their effect on nucleosome stability, a key regulatory factor in eukaryotic gene control, is reported, as measured in agarose embedded nuclei of H2B-GFP expressor HeLa cells. Nucleosome stability was assessed by quantitative microscopy [1,2] in situ, in close to native state of chromatin, preserving the nucleosome constrained topology of the genomic DNA. A robust destabilizing effect was observed in the millimolar concentration range in the case of spermine, spermidine as well as putrescine, which was strongly pH and salt concentration-dependent, and remained significant also at neutral pH. The integrity of genomic DNA was not affected by PA treatment, excluding DNA break-elicited topological relaxation as a factor in destabilization. The binding of PAs to DNA was demonstrated by the displacement of ethidium bromide, both from deproteinized nuclear halos and from plasmid DNA. The possibility that DNA methylation patterns may be influenced by PA levels is contemplated in the context of gene expression and DNA methylation correlations identified in the NCI-60 panel-based CellMiner database: methylated loci in subsets of high-ODC1 cell lines and the dependence of PER3 DNA methylation on PA metabolism.

Abstract
Beige adipocytes with thermogenic function are activated during cold exposure in white adipose tissue through the process of browning. These cells, similar to brown adipocytes, dissipate stored chemical energy in the form of heat with the help of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Recently, we have shown that tissue transglutaminase (TG2) knock-out mice have decreased cold tolerance in parallel with lower utilization of their epididymal adipose tissue and reduced browning. To learn more about the thermogenic function of this fat depot, we isolated preadipocytes from the epididymal adipose tissue of wild-type and TG2 knock-out mice and differentiated them in the beige direction. Although differentiation of TG2 knock-out preadipocytes is phenotypically similar to the wild-type cells, the mitochondria of the knock-out beige cells have multiple impairments including an altered electron transport system generating lower electrochemical potential difference, reduced oxygen consumption, lower UCP1 protein content, and a higher portion of fragmented mitochondria. Most of these differences are present in preadipocytes as well, and the differentiation process cannot overcome the functional disadvantages completely. TG2 knock-out beige adipocytes produce more iodothyronine deiodinase 3 (DIO3) which may inactivate thyroid hormones required for the establishment of optimal mitochondrial function. The TG2 knock-out preadipocytes and beige cells are both hypometabolic as compared with the wild-type controls which may also be explained by the lower expression of solute carrier proteins SLC25A45, SLC25A47, and SLC25A42 which transport acylcarnitine, Co-A, and amino acids into the mitochondrial matrix. As a consequence, the mitochondria in TG2 knock-out beige adipocytes probably cannot reach the energy-producing threshold required for normal thermogenic functions, which may contribute to the decreased cold tolerance of TG2 knock-out mice.

Abstract
Thermogenic brown and beige adipocytes might open up new strategies in combating obesity. Recent studies in rodents and humans have indicated that these adipocytes release cytokines, termed "batokines". Irisin was discovered as a polypeptide regulator of beige adipocytes released by myocytes, primarily during exercise. We performed global RNA sequencing on adipocytes derived from human subcutaneous and deep-neck precursors, which were differentiated in the presence or absence of irisin. Irisin did not exert an effect on the expression of characteristic thermogenic genes, while upregulated genes belonging to various cytokine signaling pathways. Out of the several upregulated cytokines, CXCL1, the highest upregulated, was released throughout the entire differentiation period, and predominantly by differentiated adipocytes. Deep-neck area tissue biopsies also showed a significant release of CXCL1 during 24 h irisin treatment. Gene expression data indicated upregulation of the NFκB pathway upon irisin treatment, which was validated by an increase of p50 and decrease of IκBα protein level, respectively. Continuous blocking of the NFκB pathway, using a cell permeable inhibitor of NFκB nuclear translocation, significantly reduced CXCL1 release. The released CXCL1 exerted a positive effect on the adhesion of endothelial cells. Together, our findings demonstrate that irisin stimulates the release of a novel adipokine, CXCL1, via upregulation of NFκB pathway in neck area derived adipocytes, which might play an important role in improving tissue vascularization.

Abstract
Brown and beige adipocytes are enriched in mitochondria with uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) to generate heat instead of ATP contributing to healthy energy balance. There are few human cellular models to reveal regulatory networks in adipocyte browning and key targets for enhancing thermogenesis in obesity. The Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) preadipocyte line has been a useful tool to study human adipocyte biology. Here we report that SGBS cells, which are comparable to subcutaneous adipose-derived stem cells, carry an FTO risk allele. Upon sustained PPARγ stimulation or irisin (a myokine released in response to exercise) treatment, SGBS cells differentiated into beige adipocytes exhibiting multilocular lipid droplets, high UCP1 content with induction of typical browning genes (Cidea, Elovl3) and the beige marker Tbx1. The autocrine mediator BMP7 led to moderate browning with the upregulation of the classical brown marker Zic1 instead of Tbx1. Thermogenesis potential resulted from PPARγ stimulation, irisin and BMP7 can be activated in UCP1-dependent and the beige specific, creatine phosphate cycle mediated way. The beige phenotype, maintained under long-term (28 days) conditions, was partially reversed by withdrawal of PPARγ ligand. Thus, SGBS cells can serve as a cellular model for both white and sustainable beige adipocyte differentiation and function.

Abstract
Brown and beige adipocytes contribute significantly to the regulation of whole body energy expenditure and systemic metabolic homeostasis not exclusively by thermogenesis through mitochondrial uncoupling. Several studies have provided evidence in rodents that brown and beige adipocytes produce a set of adipokines ("batokines") which regulate local tissue homeostasis and have beneficial effects on physiological functions of the entire body. We observed elevated secretion of Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, but not tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) or IL-1β pro-inflammatory cytokines, by ex vivo differentiating human beige adipocytes (induced by either PPARγ agonist or irisin) compared to white. Higher levels of IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 were released from human deep neck adipose tissue biopsies (enriched in browning cells) than from subcutaneous ones. IL-6 was produced in a sustained manner and mostly by the adipocytes and not by the undifferentiated progenitors. Continuous blocking of IL-6 receptor by specific antibody during beige differentiation resulted in downregulation of brown marker genes and increased morphological changes that are characteristic of white adipocytes. The data suggest that beige adipocytes adjust their production of IL-6 to reach an optimal level for differentiation in the medium enhancing browning in an autocrine manner.

Abstract
The molecular basis of signal-dependent transcriptional activation has been extensively studied in macrophage polarization, but our understanding remains limited regarding the molecular determinants of repression. Here we show that IL-4-activated STAT6 transcription factor is required for the direct transcriptional repression of a large number of genes during in vitro and in vivo alternative macrophage polarization. Repression results in decreased lineage-determining transcription factor, p300, and RNA polymerase II binding followed by reduced enhancer RNA expression, H3K27 acetylation, and chromatin accessibility. The repressor function of STAT6 is HDAC3 dependent on a subset of IL-4-repressed genes. In addition, STAT6-repressed enhancers show extensive overlap with the NF-κB p65 cistrome and exhibit decreased responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide after IL-4 stimulus on a subset of genes. As a consequence, macrophages exhibit diminished inflammasome activation, decreased IL-1β production, and pyroptosis. Thus, the IL-4-STAT6 signaling pathway establishes an alternative polarization-specific epigenenomic signature resulting in dampened macrophage responsiveness to inflammatory stimuli. IL-4-activated STAT6 acts as a transcriptional repressor in macrophages IL-4-STAT6-repressed enhancers associate with reduced LDTF and p300 binding Inflammatory responsiveness of the IL-4-repressed enhancers is attenuated IL-4 limits the LPS-induced inflammasome activation, IL-1β production, and pyroptosis

Abstract
Skin dendritic cells of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are well characterized, but less is known about their peripheral blood precursors. The aim of this study was to investigate the phenotypic features and chemokine production of myeloid pre-dendritic cells of patients with AD ex vivo and after stimulation with Staphylococcus enterotoxin B and thymic stromal lymphopoietin, representing an AD-like microenvironment. The expression of cell surface markers was measured by flow cytometry, while chemokine production was monitored with chemokine antibody array and confirmed by enzyme-linked immunoassays. AD pre-dendritic cells expressed higher levels of Fc?RI and the maturation and activation markers tended to be altered. They produced both AD (CCL17/18/22) and maturation-related (CCL3/4/5) chemokines at higher level than controls. The production of CCL3/4 and CCL18 were significantly higher even without AD-specific stimulation, while the production of CCL17 and CCL22 were significantly higher only after stimulation. These results indicate that circulating AD pre-dendritic cells are premature and bear atopic characteristics even without tissue-specific stimulation, suggesting that their development is not only influenced by the skin microenvironment, but even earlier by the local milieu in the blood.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The authors of this paper assessed the surgical management and outcome of renal cancers when tumor thrombus extended into the inferior vena cava (IVC). METHODS From 2000 to 2015, 46 radical nephrectomies were performed on patients with tumor thrombus in the IVC. The mean age of the patients was 60 ± 11 years. Radical nephrectomy and thrombectomies were performed in a single session. There were 18 level-IV, 23 level-III, and 5 level-II tumor thrombi. The operations were performed using cardiopulmonary bypass in 14 patients, while deep hypothermic cardiac arrest was carried out in 4 cases. RESULTS The mean size of the tumors was 9.4 ± 3.5 cm. Histology showed the tumor stages to be pT3b in 21cases, pT3c in 22, and pT4 in 3 patients. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 3.6 ± 3.0 years. During the follow-up period, local recurrence was observed in 7 patients, while distant metastases occurred in 8 cases. The median time to progression was 37 ± 27 months. The 5-year overall survival was 43.7%. CONCLUSIONS Radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy provided reasonable long-term survival for patients with renal cancer and IVC thrombus. However, tumor progression was detected in 41.6%. The presence of tumor thrombus had a negative effect on tumor progression and survival.

Abstract
Administration of second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) often leads to weight gain and consequent cardio-metabolic side effects. We observed that clozapine but not six other antipsychotic drugs reprogrammed the gene expression pattern of differentiating human adipocytes ex vivo, leading to an elevated expression of the browning marker gene UCP1, more and smaller lipid droplets and more mitochondrial DNA than in the untreated white adipocytes. Laser scanning cytometry showed that up to 40% of the differentiating single primary and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) adipocytes had the characteristic morphological features of browning cells. Furthermore, clozapine significantly upregulated ELOVL3, CIDEA, CYC1, PGC1A and TBX1 genes but not ZIC1 suggesting induction of the beige-like and not the classical brown phenotype. When we tested whether browning induced by clozapine can be explained by its known pharmacological effect of antagonizing serotonin (5HT) receptors, it was found that browning cells expressed 5HT receptors 2A, 1D, 7 and the upregulation of browning markers was diminished in the presence of exogenous 5HT. Undifferentiated progenitors or completely differentiated beige or white adipocytes did not respond to clozapine administration. The clozapine-induced beige cells displayed increased basal and oligomycin-inhibited (proton leak) oxygen consumption, but these cells showed a lower response to cAMP stimulus as compared with control beige adipocytes indicating that they are less capable to respond to natural thermogenic anti-obesity cues. Our data altogether suggest that novel pharmacological stimulation of these masked beige adipocytes can be a future therapeutic target for the treatment of SGA-induced weight gain.

Abstract
PURPOSE The authors assessed the characteristics of bilateral renal cancers. METHODS From January 1995 to January 2015, 65 patients underwent surgery for bilateral renal cancers. Thirty-four of the patients had 36 synchronous tumors, while the remaining 29 had metachronous tumors. The mean age of the patients was 60 ± 11 years. There were 22 females and 43 males. In all cases, bilateral partial nephrectomies or unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral nephron-sparing surgery were performed. RESULTS The mean sizes of the synchronous tumors were 5.0 ± 2.7 and 4.7 ± 3.0 cm at the first and the second operations, respectively. The average diameters of the metachronous carcinomas were 6.6 ± 3.0 and 3.1 ± 1.6 cm at the initial and the second surgeries, respectively. Histologic concordance was 91.1 % in the synchronous and 96.5 % in the metachronous tumors. The mean postoperative creatinine levels increased by 116 %, while the GFR decreased by 44.8 % in synchronous tumors at the second operation. The mean postoperative creatinine levels increased by 42 %, while the GFR decreased by 30.4 % in metachronous carcinomas at the second operation. The mean follow-up time was 4.8 ± 3.7 years. During this period, distant metastases occurred in two patients with synchronous tumors and in six cases with metachronous tumors. Local recurrences were detected in one case of synchronous tumor and in four patients with metachronous carcinomas. The 5-year overall and tumor-specific survivals were 53 and 80 %, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In patients with bilateral renal carcinomas, the histologic concordance was 93.6 %. The bilateral partial nephrectomies or unilateral nephrectomy and contralateral resection provided acceptable oncological and functional outcomes.

Abstract
Background IL-4-driven alternative macrophage activation and proliferation are characteristic features of both antihelminthic immune responses and wound healing in contrast to classical macrophage activation, which primarily occurs during inflammatory responses. The signaling pathways defining the genome-wide microRNA expression profile as well as the cellular functions controlled by microRNAs during alternative macrophage activation are largely unknown. Hence, in the current work we examined the regulation and function of IL-4-regulated microRNAs in human and mouse alternative macrophage activation. Methods We utilized microarray-based microRNA profiling to detect the dynamic expression changes during human monocyte–macrophage differentiation and IL-4-mediated alternative macrophage activation. The expression changes and upstream regulatory pathways of selected microRNAs were further investigated in human and mouse in vitro and in vivo models of alternative macrophage activation by integrating small RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ChIP-quantitative PCR, and gene expression data. MicroRNA-controlled gene networks and corresponding functions were identified using a combination of transcriptomic, bioinformatic, and functional approaches. Results The IL-4-controlled microRNA expression pattern was identified in models of human and mouse alternative macrophage activation. IL-4-dependent induction of miR-342-3p and repression of miR-99b along with miR-125a-5p occurred in both human and murine macrophages in vitro. In addition, a similar expression pattern was observed in peritoneal macrophages of Brugia malayi nematode-implanted mice in vivo. By using IL4Rα- and STAT6-deficient macrophages, we were able to show that IL-4-dependent regulation of miR-342-3p, miR-99b, and miR-125a-5p is mediated by the IL-4Rα–STAT6 signaling pathway. The combination of gene expression studies and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that both miR-342-3p and its host gene, EVL, are coregulated directly by STAT6. Finally, we found that miR-342-3p is capable of controlling macrophage survival through targeting an anti-apoptotic gene network including Bcl2l1. Conclusions Our findings identify a conserved IL-4/STAT6-regulated microRNA signature in alternatively activated human and mouse macrophages. Moreover, our study indicates that miR-342-3p likely plays a pro-apoptotic role in such cells, thereby providing a negative feedback arm to IL-4-dependent macrophage proliferation.

Abstract
Laser-scanning cytometry is presented as a tool allowing population scale analysis of ex vivo human brown adipogenic differentiation. It combines texture analysis and detection of Ucp1 protein content in single brown adipocytes of mixed cell populations with gene expression pattern and functional characteristics of browning. Using this method we could validate mouse data in human samples demonstrating the effectiveness of irisin to induce “beige” differentiation of subcutaneous white adipocytes.

Abstract
The application of FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) sensors for monitoring protein-protein interactions under vital conditions is attracting increasing attention in molecular and cell biology. Laser-scanning cytometry (LSC), a slide-based sister procedure to flow cytometry, provides an opportunity to analyze large populations of adherent cells or 2-D solid tissues in their undisturbed physiological settings. Here we provide an LSC-based three-laser protocol for high-throughput ratiometric FRET measurements utilizing cyan and yellow fluorescent proteins as a FRET pair. Membrane labeling with Cy5 dye is used for cell identification and contouring. Pixel-by-pixel and single-cell FRET efficiencies are calculated to estimate the extent of the molecular interactions and their distribution in the cell populations examined. We also present a non-high-throughput donor photobleaching FRET application, for obtaining the required instrument parameters for ratiometric FRET. In the biological model presented, HeLa cells are transfected with the ECFP- or EYFP-tagged Fos and Jun nuclear proteins, which heterodimerize to form active AP1 transcription factor.

Abstract
Adipocyte differentiation and function have become the major research targets due to the increasing interest in obesity and related metabolic conditions. Although, late stages of adipogenesis have been extensively studied, the early phases remain poorly understood. Here we present that supplementing ascorbic acid (AsA) to the adipogenic differentiation cocktail enables the robust and efficient differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to mature adipocytes. Such ESC-derived adipocytes mimic the gene-expression profile of subcutaneous isolated adipocytes in vivo remarkably well, much closer than 3T3-L1 derived ones. Moreover, the differentiated cells are in a monolayer, allowing a broad range of genome-wide studies in early and late stages of adipocyte differentiation to be performed.

Abstract
Understanding adipocyte biology and its homeostasis is in the focus of current obesity research. We aimed to introduce a high-content analysis procedure for directly visualizing and quantifying adipogenesis and adipoapoptosis by laser scanning cytometry (LSC) in a large population of cell. Slide-based image cytometry and image processing algorithms were used and optimized for high-throughput analysis of differentiating cells and apoptotic processes in cell culture at high confluence. Both preadipocytes and adipocytes were simultaneously scrutinized for lipid accumulation, texture properties, nuclear condensation, and DNA fragmentation. Adipocyte commitment was found after incubation in adipogenic medium for 3 days identified by lipid droplet formation and increased light absorption, while terminal differentiation of adipocytes occurred throughout day 9-14 with characteristic nuclear shrinkage, eccentric nuclei localization, chromatin condensation, and massive lipid deposition. Preadipocytes were shown to be more prone to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα)-induced apoptosis compared to mature adipocytes. Importantly, spontaneous DNA fragmentation was observed at early stage when adipocyte commitment occurs. This DNA damage was independent from either spontaneous or induced apoptosis and probably was part of the differentiation program. © 2013 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A novel flow cytometric assay has been described in an accompanying report (Gombos et al., METHODS The kinetics of the decrease in immunofluorescence intensity was analyzed after the addition of the raft-preserving Triton X-100 or Nonidet P-40, both of which disrupt the entire membrane. Mild treatments by both detergents leave cells attached to only those proteins that are anchored to the cytoskeleton by rafts or independent of rafts. Agents that affect microfilaments and modulate membrane levels of cholesterol by cyclodextrin were used to distinguish between the raft-mediated and non-raft-related associations of the Pgp. Confocal microscopy and flow cytometric fluorescence energy transfer measurements were used to confirm colocalization of Pgp with raft constituents. RESULTS The assay was proved to be sensitive enough to resolve differences between the resistance of UIC2-labeled cell-surface Pgps to Triton X-100 versus Nonidet P-40. Approximately 34% of the UIC2 Fab-labeled Pgp molecules were associated with the cytoskeleton through detergent-resistant, cholesterol-sensitive microdomains or directly, whereas approximately 15% were found to be directly linked to the cytoskeleton. Accordingly, confocal microscopy showed that Pgps colocalize with raft markers, mainly in microvilli. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer efficiency data indicating molecular proximity between Pgp and the raft markers CD44, CD59, and G(M1)-gangliosides also suggested that a significant fraction of Pgps resides in raft microdomains. Raft association of Pgp appears to be of functional significance because its modulation markedly affected drug pumping. CONCLUSIONS By using the flow cytometric detergent resistance assay in kinetic mode, we were able to assess the extent of raft association and actin cytoskeleton anchorage of Pgp expressed at physiologically relevant levels. We demonstrated that a significant fraction of Pgp is raft associated on LS-174-T human colon carcinoma cells and that this localization may influence its transporter function. The kinetic flow cytometric detergent resistance assay presented in this report is considered to be generally applicable for the analysis of molecular interactions of membrane proteins expressed at low levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphatidylserine (PS) binding by annexin V (AV) is an early membrane marker of apoptosis. Using laser scanning cytometry (LSC) and the comet assay, we showed that the DNA of AV(+) cells is so highly fragmented that it cannot be quantified by the comet assay (Bacso et al.: Cancer Res 60:4623-8, 2000). METHODS The "halo" assay was used instead of the comet assay to quantify DNA damage associated with apoptosis. The LSC was used to measure both AV fluorescence and DNA damage on the same Jurkat cells following treatment with anti-Fas. The data from both sets of measurements were merged, allowing direct correlation of membrane and nuclear markers of cell death. RESULTS AV(+) cells had significant DNA damage determined by the ratio between nuclear DNA and peripheral (migrated) DNA. Cells in the early and late stages of apoptosis could be discriminated on the basis of DNA content. In addition, it was possible to distinguish between apoptotic and necrotic cells in the AV(+) propidium iodide-positive population based on DNA content and DNA damage. The addition of specific inhibitors for caspases-8, 9, and 3 blocked both PS externalization and DNA fragmentation, indicating these events are downstream from caspase activation. CONCLUSIONS This technique allows accurate distinction between apoptotic and necrotic cells and cytometric grading of apoptosis.

Abstract
Merocyanine 540 (M540) is a potential-sensitive, hydrophobic dye that preferentially incorporates into the 'fluid' domains of cellular membranes, distinguishing between hemopoietic cells according to their differentiation state. A bright staining with M540 is usually achieved by UV illumination of the cells during staining. We show by flow cytometric analysis that: (1) staining is greatly enhanced by UV illumination of mouse spleen cells before addition of the dye; (2) UV treatment causes an increased permeability toward propidium iodide and intracellular fluorescein as well; (3) the increment in M540 fluorescence precedes permeabilization to propidium iodide, while the latter precedes leakage of fluorescein. We also describe an overshoot and accelerated recovery of M540 fluorescence after photobleaching by a 514 nm laser beam. It is suggested that penetration of M540 to the more fluid inner membrane structures explains the fluorescence increment in both experiments.
