Abstract
PURPOSE This article introduces the use of low power continuous wave frequency modulated radar for medical applications, specifically for remote monitoring of vital signs in patients. METHODS Gigahertz frequency radar measures the electromagnetic wave signal reflected from the surface of a human body and from tissue boundaries. Time series analysis of the measured signal provides simultaneous information on range, size, and reflective properties of multiple targets in the field of view of the radar. This information is used to extract the respiratory and cardiac rates of the patient in real time. RESULTS The results from several preliminary human subject experiments are provided. The heart and respiration rate frequencies extracted from the radar signal match those measured independently for all the experiments, including a case when additional targets are simultaneously resolved in the field of view and a case when only the patient's extremity is visible to the radar antennas. CONCLUSIONS Micropower continuous wave FM radar is a reliable, robust, inexpensive, and harmless tool for real-time monitoring of the cardiac and respiratory rates. Additionally, it opens a range of new and exciting opportunities in diagnostic and critical care medicine. Differences between the presented approach and other types of radars used for biomedical applications are discussed.

Abstract
Several Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are internalized by epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, but the host pathways usurped by the bacteria to enter nonphagocytic cells are not clearly understood. Here, we report that internalization of strain PAK into epithelial cells triggers and requires activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B/Akt (Akt). Incubation of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) or HeLa cells with the PI3K inhibitors LY294002 (LY) or wortmannin abrogated PAK uptake. Addition of the PI3K product phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3] to polarized MDCK cells was sufficient to increase PAK internalization. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 accumulated at the site of bacterial binding in an LY-dependent manner. Akt phosphorylation correlated with PAK invasion. The specific Akt phosphorylation inhibitor SH-5 inhibited PAK uptake; internalization also was inhibited by small interfering RNA-mediated depletion of Akt phosphorylation. Expression of constitutively active Akt was sufficient to restore invasion when PI3K signaling was inhibited. Together, these results demonstrate that the PI3K signaling pathway is necessary and sufficient for the P. aeruginosa entry and provide the first example of a bacterium that requires Akt for uptake into epithelial cells.

Abstract
Many pathogens must surmount an epithelial cell barrier in order to establish an infection. While much has been learned about the interaction of bacterial pathogens with cultured epithelial cells, the influence of cell polarity on these events has only recently been appreciated. This review outlines bacterial-host epithelial cell interactions in the context of the distinct apical and basolateral surfaces of the polarized epithelium that lines the lumens of our organs.

Abstract
The Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa invades epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro. We have examined the pathway(s) by which epithelial cells internalize P. aeruginosa strain PA103 using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. We have recently demonstrated that P. aeruginosa internalization occurs by an actin-dependent Toxin B-inhibited pathway which becomes downregulated as epithelial cells become polarized, suggesting that one or more of the Rho family GTPases is involved in bacterial internalization. Here, we demonstrate that activation of the Rho family GTPases by cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF-1) stimulates P. aeruginosa internalization. Examination of the roles of the individual Rho family GTPases in internalization shows that expression of a constitutively active allele of RhoA (RhoAV14), but not of constitutively active Rac1 (Rac1V12) or Cdc42 (Cdc42V12), is sufficient to increase uptake of PA103pscJ. This relative increase persists when bacterial infection is established at the basolateral surface of polarized cells, suggesting that the effect of RhoAV14 is not simply due to its known ability to disrupt tight junction integrity in polarized cells. RhoAV14-mediated stimulation of bacterial uptake is actin dependent as it is abrogated by exposure to latrunculin A. We also find that endogenous Rho GTP levels in epithelial cells are increased by infection with an internalized strain of P. aeruginosa; conversely, a poorly internalized isogenic strain expressing the bacterial anti-internalization protein ExoT causes decreased Rho GTP levels. Experimental inhibition of Rho, either by expressing dominant negative RhoAN19 or by inhibiting native Rho using a membrane permeable fusion construct of a Rho-specific inhibitor, C3 ADP-ribosyltransferase, does not inhibit PA103pscJ internalization in MDCK or HeLa cells. Models consistent with these data are presented.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis, an important cause of human disease, is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that relies on the eukaryotic host cell for its replication. Recent reports have revealed that the C. trachomatis vacuole receives host-derived sphingolipids by fusing with trans-Golgi network (TGN)derived secretory vesicles. Here, it is shown that these lipids are required for the growth of the bacteria. C. trachomatis was unable to replicate at 39 degrees C in the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-derived cell line SPB-1, a cell line incapable of synthesizing sphingolipids at this temperature because of a temperature-sensitive mutation in the serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) gene. Complementation with the wild-type SPT gene or addition of exogenous cell-permeable sphingolipid precursors to the mutant cells restored their ability to support chlamydial replication. L-cycloserine (L-CS) and fumonisin B1 (FB1), inhibitors of sphingolipid biosynthesis, decreased the proliferation of the bacteria in eukaryotic cells at concentrations that also decreased host cell sphingolipid synthesis. In the case of FB1, the vacuoles appeared aberrant; the addition of sphingolipid precursors was able to reverse the altered morphology of the FB1-treated vacuoles. Collectively, these data strongly suggest that the growth and replication of chlamydiae is dependent on synthesis of sphingolipids by the eukaryotic host cell and may contribute to this organism's obligate intracellular parasitism.

Abstract
We report that the small GTPase, ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6), is present only on the apical surface of polarized MDCK epithelial cells. Overexpression of a mutant of ARF6, ARF6-Q67L, which is predicted to be in the GTP-bound form, stimulates endocytosis exclusively at this surface. Surprisingly, overexpression of the mutant ARF6-T27N, which is predicted to be in the GDP-bound form, also stimulated apical endocytosis, though to a lesser extent. ARF6-stimulated endocytosis is inhibited by a dominant-negative form of dynamin, or a dominant-negative hub fragment of clathrin heavy chain, indicating that it is mediated by clathrin. Correspondingly, overexpression of either mutant of ARF6 leads to an increase in the number of clathrin-coated pits at the apical plasma membrane. When ARF6-Q67L is overexpressed in the presence of the dominant-negative dynamin, the ARF6-Q67L colocalizes with clathrin and with IgA bound to its receptor. We conclude that ARF6 is an important modulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the apical surface of epithelial cells.

Abstract
Previous characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates has demonstrated an inverse correlation between cytotoxicity and internalization by epithelial cells. To further investigate this relationship, we tested PA103, a cytotoxic P. aeruginosa strain, and 33 isogenic noncytotoxic transposon mutants for internalization by Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The majority of the mutants were not internalized, demonstrating that an inverse correlation between cytotoxicity and bacterial uptake by epithelial cells is not absolute. Six of the noncytotoxic mutants, however, demonstrated measurable levels of internalization by standard aminoglycoside exclusion assays even though internalization of wild-type strain PA103 was not detectable. All six had evidence of protein secretion defects involving two proteins, a 40-kDa protein and a 32-kDa protein. These proteins, designated PepB (for Pseudomonas exoprotein B) and PepD, respectively, each had characteristics of type III transported proteins. In addition, nucleotide sequencing studies demonstrated that PepB and PepD are homologs of YopB and YopD, respectively, type III secreted proteins of Yersinia spp. necessary for the translocation of effector molecules into the cytoplasmic compartment of eukaryotic cells. Thus, while many mutations in PA103 result in loss of cytotoxicity without an appreciable increase in internalization, defects in transport of type III secretion proteins PepB and PepD correlate with both loss of cytotoxicity and gain of internalization. These results are consistent with type III secretion of an inhibitor of internalization that requires PepB and PepD for translocation into the host cell.

Abstract
We have developed a simple, reproducible and rapid genetic screen for Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced epithelial cell cytotoxicity in cultures of MDCK cells. This screen was used to isolate isogenic transposon-tagged non-cytotoxic mutants of a cytotoxic and lung-virulent strain of P. aeruginosa (PA103). The transposon-insertion site was determined by using an inverse polymerase chain reaction followed by DNA-sequence analysis. On the basis of phenotype and sequence analysis, these mutants fell into four classes. One class had absent or defective pill, based on their resistance to phage PO4 and/or loss of twitching motility (twt-). A second class exhibited decreased adherence. A third class of mutants exhibited probable defects in the machinery or targets of type III protein secretion. A final class of mutants exhibited decreased but not absent cytotoxicity. This class included members of the first three classes as well as other mutants. These results suggest that localized cytotoxicity is likely to require several steps and several components, including pili and other (unidentified) extracellular proteins. The type III protein-secretion apparatus appears to be involved in this process.

Abstract
Basolateral sorting of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells is mediated by a 17-residue sorting signal that resides in the cytoplasmic domain. We have recently analyzed the sequence requirements of the signal by alanine scanning mutagenesis. We found that basolateral sorting is mediated primarily by three amino acids: H656, R657 and V660. Individual mutations of each of these residues to Ala caused a substantial decrease in basolateral sorting and a corresponding increase in targeting to the apical surface. Structural analysis of 17-residue peptides corresponding to the signal revealed that V660 is in a beta-turn (probably type I) secondary structure, and its mutation to Ala destabilized the turn. H656 and R657 were not part of the turn and substitution of Arg657 to Ala had no effect on the turn stability. These results suggested that the signal is comprised of two structurally distinct domains: a critical V660 in the context of the beta-turn and an additional two residues (H656 and R657) that are not in the turn and probably are unimportant for its stability. Here we provide evidence suggesting that the two domains are distinguishable not only by their structure but also by their function. Basolateral targeting of pIgR mutants bearing Ala mutations at either 656 or 657 was not affected by treatment with brefeldin A (BFA), while basolateral targeting of pIgR containing an Ala substitution at position 660 was markedly and uniquely stimulated by BFA. Compared to single Ala substitutions, simultaneous mutations of H656 and R657 to Ala caused an additional minor effect on basolateral and apical sorting, whereas double mutations of V660 and either H656 or R657 resulted in a maximal decrease in basolateral targeting and corresponding increase in apical targeting. These results suggest the existence of two domains in the signal. When both domains are destroyed, basolateral targeting is maximally inhibited. The results also imply that V660 mediates basolateral sorting by a different mechanism from H656 and R657. We suggest that V660 and perhaps more generally the beta-turn may interact with BFA-sensitive adaptor complexes.

Abstract
Phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an essential role in numerous signaling events, and increasingly has been implicated in regulation of certain membrane traffic events. The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) transcytoses dimeric IgA (dIgA) across epithelial cells and into external secretions, where the dIgA forms the first specific immunological defense against infection. We show here that wortmannin, a highly specific inhibitor of PI3K, inhibits transcytosis of dIgA by the pIgR. Instead, the dIgA is recycled back to the basolateral surface of the epithelial cell. PI3K therefore plays an essential role in regulating the transcytosis of dIgA, a key step in the mucosal immune response.

Abstract
Four transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants were generated that expressed a murine monoclonal antibody kappa chain, a hybrid immunoglobulin A-G heavy chain, a murine joining chain, and a rabbit secretory component, respectively. Successive sexual crosses between these plants and filial recombinants resulted in plants that expressed all four protein chains simultaneously. These chains were assembled into a functional, high molecular weight secretory immunoglobulin that recognized the native streptococcal antigen I/II cell surface adhesion molecule. In plants, single cells are able to assemble secretory antibodies, whereas two different cell types are required in mammals. Transgenic plants may be suitable for large-scale production of recombinant secretory immunoglobulin A for passive mucosal immunotherapy. Plant cells also possess the requisite mechanisms for assembly and expression of other complex recombinant protein molecules.

Abstract
Transcytosis of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) can be experimentally divided into three steps: 1) internalization from the basolateral plasma membrane and delivery to basolateral early endosomes, 2) microtubule-dependent movement from basolateral early endosomes to apical recycling endosomes, and 3) delivery from apical recycling endosomes to the apical surface and cleavage of the pIgR to secretory component, which is released into the apical medium. Transcytosis of the pIgR is stimulated by two signals, phosphorylation of Ser-664 in the cytoplasmic domain of the pIgR and binding of the ligand, dimeric IgA, to the pIgR. These signals do not detectably alter step 1 of transcytosis. Here, we show that phosphorylation of Ser-664 stimulates both steps 2 and 3, whereas binding of dimeric IgA stimulates only step 3 of transcytosis.

Abstract
Scatter Factor, also known as Hepatocyte Growth Factor (SF/HGF), has pleiotropic functions including direct control of cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesion in epithelia. The subcellular localization of the SF/HGF receptor is controversial. In this work, the cell surface distribution of the SF/HGF receptor was studied in vivo in epithelial tissues and in vitro in polarized MDCK monolayers. A panel of monoclonal antibodies against the beta chain of the SF/HGF receptor stained the basolateral but not the apical surface of epithelia lining the lumen of human organs. Radiolabeled or fluorescent-tagged anti-receptor antibodies selectively bound the basolateral cell surface of MDCK cells, which form a polarized monolayer sealed by intercellular junctions, when grown on polycarbonate filters in a two-chamber culture system. The receptor was concentrated around the cell-cell contact zone, showing a distribution pattern overlapping with that of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. The basolateral localization of the SF/HGF receptor was confirmed by immunoprecipitation after domain selective cell surface biotinylation. When cells were fully polarized the SF/HGF receptor became resistant to non-ionic detergents, indicating interaction with insoluble component(s). In pulse-chase labeling and surface biotinylation experiments, the newly synthesized receptor was found exclusively at the basolateral surface. We conclude that the SF/HGF receptor is selectively exposed at the basolateral plasma membrane domain of polarized epithelial cells and is targeted after synthesis to that surface by direct delivery from the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
The polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is transcytosed from the basolateral to the apical surface of polarized epithelial cells. We have previously shown that phosphorylation of Ser-664 in the cytoplasmic domain of the pIgR is a signal for its transcytosis. We now report that binding of a physiological ligand, dimeric IgA, to pIgR stimulates pIgR transcytosis. This stimulation occurs in both the presence or absence of Ser-664 phosphorylation. We have used three methods to measure transcytosis of the pIgR. (i) The pIgR was biosynthetically labeled and its cleavage to secretory component after transcytosis was measured. (ii) The pIgR was labeled with biotin at the basolateral surface. After transcytosis, release of the biotin-labeled secretory component into the apical medium was measured. (iii) Transcytosis of a ligand bound to the pIgR was measured. All three methods indicated that dimeric IgA stimulates transcytosis of the pIgR.

Abstract
As a model system to study protein traffic in polarized epithelial cells, we have used the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor. This receptor travels first to the basolateral surface, where it can bind polymeric IgA or IgM. The receptor is then endocytosed and delivered to endosomes. The receptor is sorted into transcytotic vesicles, which are exocytosed at the apical surface. The 103-amino acid cytoplasmic domain of the receptor contains several sorting signals. The 17 residues closest to the membrane are an autonomous signal that is necessary and sufficient for basolateral sorting. For rapid endocytosis there are two independent signals, both of which contain critical tyrosine residues. Finally, transcytosis is signaled by phosphorylation of a particular serine.

Abstract
Proteins follow two routes to reach the correct surface (apical or basolateral) of a polarized epithelial cell: direct sorting from the trans-Golgi network and transcytosis from early endosomes. Several signals have been identified recently that control these sorting events, namely a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor for apical targeting, a 14-residue cytoplasmic segment of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor for basolateral targeting, and phosphorylation of a Ser residue for transcytosis of this receptor. The machinery involved is still poorly understood.

Abstract
We studied the cell-surface delivery pathways of newly synthesized membrane glycoproteins in MDCK cells and for this purpose we characterized an endogenous apical integral membrane glycoprotein. By combining a pulse-chase protocol with domain-selective cell-surface biotinylation, immune precipitation, and streptavidin-agarose precipitation (Le Bivic et al. 1989. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA. 86:9313-9317), we followed the appearance at the cell surface of a major apical sialoglycoprotein, gp114, a basolateral protein, uvomorulin, and a transcytosing protein, the polyimmunoglobulin receptor (pIg-R). We determined that both gp114 and uvomorulin appeared to be delivered directly to their respective surface, with mistargeting levels of 8 and 2%, respectively. Using the same technique, the pIg-R was first detected on the basolateral domain and then on the apical domain, to be finally released into the apical medium, as described (Mostov, K. E., and D. L. Deitcher. 1986. Cell. 46:613-621). To directly determine whether the gp114 pool present on the basolateral surface was a precursor of the apical gp114, we compared it with the equivalent pIg-R pool, by labeling with sulfo-NHS-SS-biotin, a cleavable, tight junction-impermeable probe, and by following the fraction of this probe that became resistant to basal glutathione and accessible to apical glutathione during incubation at 37 degrees C. We found that, contrary to pIg-R, basolateral gp114 was poorly endocytosed and was not transcytosed to the apical side. These results demonstrate that an endogenous apical integral membrane glycoprotein of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells is sorted intracellularly and is vectorially targeted to the apical surface.
