Abstract
Purpose To evaluate glioblastoma (GBM) metabolism by using hyperpolarized carbon 13 (13C) MRI to monitor the exchange of the hyperpolarized 13C label between injected [1-13C]pyruvate and tumor lactate and bicarbonate. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, seven treatment-naive patients (age [mean ± SD], 60 years ± 11; five men) with GBM were imaged at 3 T by using a dual-tuned 13C-hydrogen 1 head coil. Hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate was injected, and signal was acquired by using a dynamic MRI spiral sequence. Metabolism was assessed within the tumor, in the normal-appearing brain parenchyma (NABP), and in healthy volunteers by using paired or unpaired t tests and a Wilcoxon signed rank test. The Spearman ρ correlation coefficient was used to correlate metabolite labeling with lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A) expression and some immunohistochemical markers. The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was used to correct for multiple comparisons. Results The bicarbonate-to-pyruvate (BP) ratio was lower in the tumor than in the contralateral NABP (P < .01). The tumor lactate-to-pyruvate (LP) ratio was not different from that in the NABP (P = .38). The LP and BP ratios in the NABP were higher than those observed previously in healthy volunteers (P < .05). Tumor lactate and bicarbonate signal intensities were strongly correlated with the pyruvate signal intensity (ρ = 0.92, P < .001, and ρ = 0.66, P < .001, respectively), and the LP ratio was weakly correlated with LDH-A expression in biopsy samples (ρ = 0.43, P = .04). Conclusion Hyperpolarized 13C MRI demonstrated variation in lactate labeling in GBM, both within and between tumors. In contrast, bicarbonate labeling was consistently lower in tumors than in the surrounding NABP.

Abstract
The calibration of thrombin products relies on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2nd International Standard (IS) for Thrombin (01/580) which defines the international unit (IU) for thrombin potency. With stocks of the 2nd IS (01/580) running low, an international collaborative study was organized to calibrate a replacement. Twenty laboratories from 13 countries took part in the study and measured the potency of two candidate replacement standards (coded 01/578 and 19/188) relative to the 2nd IS. In total, 111 valid assays were returned, which were a combination of plasma/fibrinogen clotting assays and chromogenic assays. Variation between and within laboratories was low, with inter- and intra-laboratory geometric coefficient of variation (GCV) generally <5% for all assay methods and substrates. For 01/578, potency estimates by clotting assays (101.1 IU/ampoule) were significantly lower than estimates by chromogenic assays (111.5 IU/ampoule). Mean potency estimates for 19/188 were 90.4 IU/ampoule by clotting assay and 88.1 IU/ampoule by chromogenic assay, which was not a statistically significant difference. The close ratio between clotting and chromogenic assay potency estimates for 19/188 suggests it has a higher α-thrombin content than 01/578 and is equivalent to the current IS (01/580). Accelerated degradation studies predicted excellent long-term stability profiles for preparations 01/580, 01/578, and 19/188. Based on the results of this study, the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization established 19/188 as the 3rd IS for Thrombin with a potency of 90 IU/ampoule in August 2020.

Abstract
Histones released into circulation as neutrophil extracellular traps are causally implicated in the pathogenesis of arterial, venous, and microvascular thrombosis by promoting coagulation and enhancing clot stability. Histones induce structural changes in fibrin rendering it stronger and resistant to fibrinolysis. The current study extends these observations by defining the antifibrinolytic mechanisms of histones in purified, plasma, and whole blood systems. Although histones stimulated plasminogen activation in solution, they inhibited plasmin as competitive substrates. Protection of fibrin from plasmin digestion is enhanced by covalent incorporation of histones into fibrin, catalyzed by activated transglutaminase, coagulation factor FXIII (FXIIIa). All histone subtypes (H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) were crosslinked to fibrin. A distinct, noncovalent mechanism explains histone-accelerated lateral aggregation of fibrin protofibrils, resulting in thicker fibers with higher mass-to-length ratios and in turn hampered fibrinolysis. However, histones were less effective at delaying fibrinolysis in the absence of FXIIIa activity. Therapeutic doses of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) prevented covalent but not noncovalent histone-fibrin interactions and neutralized the effects of histones on fibrinolysis. This suggests an additional antithrombotic mechanism for LMWH beyond anticoagulation. In conclusion, for the first time we report that histones are crosslinked to fibrin by FXIIIa and promote fibrinolytic resistance which can be overcome by FXIIIa inhibitors and histone-binding heparinoids. These findings provide a rationale for targeting the FXIII-histone-fibrin axis to destabilize fibrin and prevent potentially thrombotic fibrin networks.

Abstract
Purpose To compare hyperpolarized carbon 13 (13C) MRI with dynamic contrast material-enhanced (DCE) MRI in the detection of early treatment response in breast cancer. Materials and Methods In this institutional review board-approved prospective study, a woman with triple-negative breast cancer (age, 49 years) underwent 13C MRI after injection of hyperpolarized [1-carbon 13 {13C}]-pyruvate and DCE MRI at 3 T at baseline and after one cycle of neoadjuvant therapy. The 13C-labeled lactate-to-pyruvate ratio derived from hyperpolarized 13C MRI and the pharmacokinetic parameters transfer constant (K trans) and washout parameter (k ep) derived from DCE MRI were compared before and after treatment. Results Exchange of the 13C label between injected hyperpolarized [1-13C]-pyruvate and the endogenous lactate pool was observed, catalyzed by the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. After one cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a 34% reduction in the 13C-labeled lactate-to-pyruvate ratio resulted in correct identification of the patient as a responder to therapy, which was subsequently confirmed via a complete pathologic response. However, DCE MRI showed an increase in mean K trans (132%) and mean k ep (31%), which could be incorrectly interpreted as a poor response to treatment. Conclusion Hyperpolarized 13C MRI enabled successful identification of breast cancer response after one cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and may improve response prediction when used in conjunction with multiparametric proton MRI.Published under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Abstract
Neutrophils are pivotal players in immune defence which includes a process of release of histones and DNA as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Histones, while toxic to invading pathogens, also kill host cells, including neutrophils. Bacteria have evolved mechanisms to escape neutrophils, including the secretion of leucocidins (e.g. ionomycin). Live cell video microscopy showed how fibrinogen and fibrin influence NETosis and neutrophil responses to extracellular histones. Histones were rapidly lethal to neutrophils after binding to cells, but formation of fibrinogen/fibrin-histone aggregates prevented cell death. Histone cytotoxicity was also reduced by citrullination by peptidyl arginine deiminase 4, or digestion by serine proteases. Ionomycin and phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA) are used to trigger NETosis. Fibrinogen was responsible for a second distinct mechanism of neutrophil protection after treatment with ionomycin. Fibrinogen clustered on the surface of ionomycin-stimulated neutrophils to delay NETosis; and blocking the β integrin receptor, αMβ2, abolished fibrinogen protection. Fibrinogen did not bind to or protect neutrophils stimulated with PMA. Fibrinogen is an acute phase protein that will protect exposed cells from damaging circulating histones or leucocidins; but fibrinogen depletion/consumption, as in trauma or sepsis will reduce protection. It is necessary to consider the role of fibrinogen in NETosis.

Abstract
Streptokinase is used worldwide as a cost-effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction. Manufacturers use the World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard (IS) for Streptokinase to potency label their products, ensuring consistent, safe, and effective dosing. Stocks of the third IS for streptokinase (coded 00/464) are running low, and an international collaborative study was organized to calibrate a replacement. A total of 15 laboratories from nine countries took part, using chromogenic and/or fibrin clot lysis methods to determine the potency of two candidate preparations, coded 16/356 (sample B) and 16/358 (sample C), relative to the third IS (00/464). A third sample (88/824, sample A), which was used in the collaborative studies to establish the second and third IS, was also included. There was good agreement in potency estimates from different assay methods and low variability both within and between laboratories. Long-term stability modeling indicated the candidates are very stable. Comparison of potency estimates for 88/824 (sample A) with potencies calculated in previous studies revealed a variability of only 1.9% over the course of three collaborative studies spanning 30 years and more than 50 years of streptokinase standardization. This indicates excellent continuity of the International Unit (IU) and assay methods. Following agreement by study participants and Scientific and Standardization Committee experts of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, the WHO Expert Committee on Biological Standardization established 16/358 (sample C) as the fourth IS for Streptokinase with a potency of 1013 IU per ampoule in October 2019.

Abstract
Our purpose is to investigate the feasibility of imaging tumor metabolism in breast cancer patients using 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) of hyperpolarized 13C label exchange between injected [1-13C]pyruvate and the endogenous tumor lactate pool. Treatment-naïve breast cancer patients were recruited: four triple-negative grade 3 cancers; two invasive ductal carcinomas that were estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive (ER/PR+) and HER2/neu-negative (HER2-), one grade 2 and one grade 3; and one grade 2 ER/PR+ HER2- invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC). Dynamic 13C MRSI was performed following injection of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate. Expression of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), which catalyzes 13C label exchange between pyruvate and lactate, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF1α), and the monocarboxylate transporters MCT1 and MCT4 were quantified using immunohistochemistry and RNA sequencing. We have demonstrated the feasibility and safety of hyperpolarized 13C MRI in early breast cancer. Both intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity of the hyperpolarized pyruvate and lactate signals were observed. The lactate-to-pyruvate signal ratio (LAC/PYR) ranged from 0.021 to 0.473 across the tumor subtypes (mean ± SD: 0.145 ± 0.164), and a lactate signal was observed in all of the grade 3 tumors. The LAC/PYR was significantly correlated with tumor volume (R = 0.903, P = 0.005) and MCT 1 (R = 0.85, P = 0.032) and HIF1α expression (R = 0.83, P = 0.043). Imaging of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate metabolism in breast cancer is feasible and demonstrated significant intertumoral and intratumoral metabolic heterogeneity, where lactate labeling correlated with MCT1 expression and hypoxia.

To gather their opinions about the current level of implant education.Materials and methods Online questionnaires were distributed to 257 DH/Ts within Wales.Results The response rate was 35%. Dental implant care was within the remit of service for 92% of respondents. All respondents that provided implant care stated that they performed oral hygiene instruction, while 98% performed supragingival debridement, 85% subgingival debridement, and 64% clinical assessment of peri-implant health. A high proportion of DH/Ts in Wales did not feel entirely confident in carrying out procedures relating to peri-implant maintenance and only 27% felt confident in clinically assessing dental implants. The majority (83%) felt that postgraduate training in peri-implant maintenance should be obligatory. 'No available courses' was the main reason for not attending further postgraduate training in implantology.Conclusions A high proportion of responding DH/Ts practising in Wales do not feel entirely confident in carrying out procedures relating to peri-implant maintenance. Postgraduate training may be useful in addressing this issue and undergraduate training programmes may need to consider increasing trainees' exposure to dental implant maintenance.

Abstract
Essentials Delayed treatment with tranexamic acid results in loss of efficacy and poor outcomes. Increasing urokinase activity may account for adverse effects of late tranexamic acid treatment. Urokinase + tranexamic acid produces plasmin in plasma or blood and disrupts clotting. α2 -Antiplasmin consumption with ongoing fibrinolysis increases plasmin-induced coagulopathy. SUMMARY: Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an effective antifibrinolytic agent with a proven safety record. However, large clinical trials show TXA becomes ineffective or harmful if treatment is delayed beyond 3 h. The mechanism is unknown but urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) has been implicated. Methods Inhibitory mechanisms of TXA were explored in a variety of clot lysis systems using plasma and whole blood. Lysis by tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), uPA and plasmin were investigated. Coagulopathy was investigated using ROTEM and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Results IC50 values for antifibrinolytic activity of TXA varied from < 10 to > 1000 μmol L-1 depending on the system, but good fibrin protection was observed in the presence of tPA, uPA and plasmin. However, in plasma or blood, active plasmin was generated by TXA + uPA (but not tPA) and coagulopathy developed leading to no or poor clot formation. The extent of coagulopathy was sensitive to available α2 -antiplasmin. No clot formed with plasma containing 40% normal α2 -antiplasmin after short incubation with TXA + uPA. Adding purified α2 -antiplasmin progressively restored clotting. Plasmin could be inhibited by aprotinin, IC50 = 530 nmol L-1 , in plasma. Conclusions Tranexamic acid protects fibrin but stimulates uPA activity and slows inhibition of plasmin by α2 -antiplasmin. Plasmin proteolytic activity digests fibrinogen and disrupts coagulation, exacerbated when α2 -antiplasmin is consumed by ongoing fibrinolysis. Additional direct inhibition of plasmin by aprotinin may prevent development of coagulopathy and extend the useful time window of TXA treatment.

Abstract
Argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) is the rate-limiting enzyme for arginine biosynthesis. ASS1 expression is lost in a range of tumor types, including 50% of malignant pleural mesotheliomas. Starving ASS1-deficient cells of arginine with arginine blockers such as ADI-PEG20 can induce selective lethality and has shown great promise in the clinical setting. We have generated a model of ADI-PEG20 resistance in mesothelioma cells. This resistance is mediated through re-expression of ASS1 via demethylation of the ASS1 promoter. Through coordinated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling, we have shown that ASS1-deficient cells have decreased levels of acetylated polyamine metabolites, together with a compensatory increase in the expression of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes. Upon arginine deprivation, polyamine metabolites are decreased in the ASS1-deficient cells and in plasma isolated from ASS1-deficient mesothelioma patients. We identify a synthetic lethal dependence between ASS1 deficiency and polyamine metabolism, which could potentially be exploited for the treatment of ASS1-negative cancers.

Abstract
Argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1) is the rate-limiting enzyme for arginine biosynthesis. ASS1 expression is lost in a range of different tumour types, including 50% of malignant pleural mesotheliomas. Starving ASS1-deficient cells of arginine with arginine blockers such as ADI-PEG20 can induce selective lethality and has shown great promise in the clinic. However, recent data has shown that ASS1-deficient tumours can become resistant to this therapy although the mechanisms behind this resistance remain unclear. We have generated the first model of ADI-PEG20 resistance in mesothelioma cells whereby we observe re-expression of ASS1, via demethylation of the ASS1 promoter. Through coordinated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling, we have shown that ASS1-deficient cells have decreased levels of acetylated polyamines, resulting in an increased activation of the polyamine synthesis pathway. Upon arginine deprivation, we observe a decrease in polyamine metabolites in the ASS1-deficient cells only, suggesting that exogenous arginine is required to maintain polyamine biosynthesis in the absence of ASS1. We identify for the first time a compensatory increase in polyamine synthesis gene expression upon ASS1 loss and highlight a synthetic lethal dependence between ASS1-deficiency and polyamine metabolism, which could potentially be exploited for the treatment of ASS1-negative cancers.

Abstract
Progenitor cells derived from the oral mucosa lamina propria (OMLP-PCs) demonstrate an ability to differentiate into tissue lineages removed from their anatomical origin. This clonally derived population of neural-crest cells have demonstrated potential to differentiate along mesenchymal and neuronal cell lineages. OBJECTIVE Significant efforts are being made to generate functioning muscle constructs for use in research and clinical tissue engineering. In this study we aimed to determine the myogenic properties of clonal populations of expanded OMLP-PCs. DESIGN PCs were subject to several in vitro culture conditions in an attempt to drive myogenic conversion. Methodologies include use of demethylation gene-modifying reagents, mechanical conditioning of tissue culture substrates, tuneable polyacrylamide gels and a 3-dimensional construct as well as published myogenic media compositions. PCR and immunostaining for the muscle cell markers Desmin and MyoD1 were used to assess muscle differentiation. RESULTS The clones tested did not intrinsically express myogenic lineage markers. Despite use of two and 3-dimensional pre-published in vitro culture protocols OMLP clones could not be differentiated down a myogenic lineage. CONCLUSIONS Within the confines of these experimental parameters it was not possible to generate identifiable muscle using the clonal populations. When reviewing the previously successful reports of myogenic conversion, cells utilised have either been derived from tissues that are already 'primed' with the requisite myogenic genetic potential or have undergone specific genetic reprogramming to enhance the myogenic conversion rate. This, along with as yet unidentified stromal interplay, may therefore be required for positive myogenic differentiation to be realised.

Abstract
We have recently reported that therapeutic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have low engraftment and trigger the instant blood mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) after systemic delivery to patients, resulting in compromised cell function. In order to optimize the product, we compared the immunomodulatory, blood regulatory, and therapeutic properties of freeze-thawed and freshly harvested cells. We found that freeze-thawed MSCs, as opposed to cells harvested from continuous cultures, have impaired immunomodulatory and blood regulatory properties. Freeze-thawed MSCs demonstrated reduced responsiveness to proinflammatory stimuli, an impaired production of anti-inflammatory mediators, increased triggering of the IBMIR, and a strong activation of the complement cascade compared to fresh cells. This resulted in twice the efficiency in lysis of thawed MSCs after 1 hour of serum exposure. We found a 50% and 80% reduction in viable cells with freshly detached as opposed to thawed in vitro cells, indicating a small benefit for fresh cells. In evaluation of clinical response, we report a trend that fresh cells, and cells of low passage, demonstrate improved clinical outcome. Patients treated with freshly harvested cells in low passage had a 100% response rate, twice the response rate of 50% observed in a comparable group of patients treated with freeze-thawed cells at higher passage. We conclude that cryobanked MSCs have reduced immunomodulatory and blood regulatory properties directly after thawing, resulting in faster complement-mediated elimination after blood exposure. These changes seem to be paired by differences in therapeutic efficacy in treatment of immune ailments after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Plasma membrane reticular systems (RSs) are infolds of the plasma membrane found in cells of several insect tissues that are not transporting epithelia. They form a subsurface reticular lymph space that may be involved in the loading and unloading of hemolymph carrier molecules. The development of a new RS during the fifth larval stadium has been studied in the oenocytes of Calpodes ethlius by scanning electron microscopy. The RS forms by the extension and progressive apical fusion of cell processes leaving a reticular lymph space below. Reticular system formation occurs in a front moving over the cell surface. The RS made in the 4th stadium persists through the moult to the 5th stage but diminishes for the next 3 days. A new intermoult RS then forms very quickly. Its time of formation follows the commitment ecdysteroid peak rather than the beginning of secretion by the wax glands. This new 5th stage RS is maintained during the period of intermoult synthesis, after which it declines and is nearly absent by the time of pupation.

Abstract
Nuclei in the giant polyploid silk gland cells of Calpodes ethlius grow by endomitosis and can develop hundreds of branches during larval life. The shape of the these nuclei is characteristic for each region of the gland. We have found shape to be correlated with arrangement of the nuclear matrix. Scanning electron microscopy showed nuclear matrices with shapes similar to those of feulgen stained nuclei. Profiles of isolated matrices seen by transmission electron microscopy had filaments aligned parallel to the long axis of nuclear branches. DNA stained by Hoechst had a similar parallel alignment within the branches. Nuclear shape may be maintained by a small number of components, since electrophoretic analysis showed only a few abundant polypeptides in the matrix fraction. Silk gland nuclei have some of the same nuclear matrix antigens found in smaller, more regularly shaped, eukaryote nuclei.

Abstract
Oral mucosal lamina propria progenitor cells (OMLP-PCs) are a novel, clonally derived PC population of neural crest origin with the potential to differentiate down both mesenchymal and neuronal cell lineages. In this study we aimed to determine the immunological properties of OMLP-PCs and to establish whether they would be suitable candidates for allogeneic tissue engineering and in the treatment of immune-related diseases. OMLP-PCs demonstrated no inherent immunogenicity with insignificant expression of costimulatory molecules (CD40, CD80, CD86, CD154, and CD178) or human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II. OMLP-PCs required 7 days of stimulation with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) to induce cell surface expression of HLA II. Mixed lymphocyte cultures and mitogen stimulation demonstrated the potent immunosuppressive capability of OMLP-PCs in a contact-independent manner. Complete inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation was seen at doses as low as 0.001% OMLP-PCs to responder lymphocytes, while annexin V staining confirmed that this immunosuppressive effect was not due to the induction of lymphocyte apoptosis. These data demonstrate, for the first time, that OMLP-PC immunomodulation, unlike that for mesenchymal stem cells, occurs via a dose- and HLA II-independent mechanism by the release of immunosuppressive soluble factors and suggests these cells may have wide ranging potential in future immune-related therapies.

Abstract
Wounds within the oral mucosa, similarly to fetal wounds, exhibit rapid healing with reduced scarring. We hypothesized that a progenitor population resident within the oral mucosal lamina propria (OMLP) contributes to this preferential healing. Progenitor cells (PC) were reliably isolated from the OMLP by differential adhesion to fibronectin. Isolated colonies originating from a single cell demonstrated a rapid initial phase of proliferation, completing in excess of 50 population doublings (PDs) before entering cellular senescence. These data were supported by the expression of active telomerase within both developing colonies and expanded clones as assessed by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and the quantitative telomeric repeat amplification protocol. FACS analysis confirmed expression of the stem cell markers CD44, CD90, CD105, and CD166, but negative expression of CD34 and CD45 ruling out a hematopoietic or fibrocyte origin for these progenitors. A neural crest origin was confirmed by increased colony-forming efficiency (CFE) in the presence of Jagged 1 and the expression of a number of neural crest markers within the developing colonies by ICC and serially passaged clones by Western blotting. The multipotency of this novel PC population was demonstrated by differentiation of the cells down both mesenchymal (chondrogenic, osteoblastic, and adipogenic) and neuronal (neuron and Schwann-like cells) cell lineages. This article reports for the first time, the isolation and characterization of a novel, clonally derived PC population resident within the OMLP. The attributes of this adult stem cell (ASC) population and its accessibility lends itself to future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
In the larva of the butterfly Calpodes ethlius, the fat body begins to store protein in the form of granules at about 30 to 35 hours before pupation, at a time when the endocuticle is being resorbed. At least two sorts of granule can be distinguished. The first granules to arise are those within vesicles of the Golgi complex. These may increase in size by incorporating material from microvesicles at their surface and by coalescence with one another. Later, at about 10 hours before pupation, another sort of granule arises by the isolation of regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) within paired membranes derived from Golgi vesicles. Several of these ER isolation bodies coalesce, with fusion of their outer isolating membranes. The ribosomes and membranes may then disappear and the granules become indistinguishable from the protein granules formed from Golgi vesicles, or the ribosomes may remain and be embedded in dense crystalline protein, forming a storage body for both protein and RNA. Mitochondria are isolated within paired membranes in the same way as regions of the ER. The isolated mitochondria also coalesce in a similar manner. When the inner membranes are lost, the structure of a group of isolation bodies is indistinguishable from that of a cytolysome. Isolation within paired membranes, as described here, may be of general importance in segregating regions of massive lysis or massive sequestration.

Abstract
To understand fully cellular mechanisms during bone tissue repair and engineering, there is a need to develop reproducible three-dimensional organotypic culture models, whereby cells in their natural extracellular matrix can be manipulated. Limitations in current model systems do not allow for this integrated approach. This study aimed to develop and validate an ex vivo fractured rat mandible model, to investigate specific molecular and cellular processes involved in bone repair. Slices of mandible from 28-day-old male Wistar rats were cultured in Trowel-type cultures at the liquid-gas interface for up to 21 days. Maintenance of cell and tissue architecture and viability was shown within fractured mandible slices during all culture periods. Autoradiographic studies demonstrated that resident cells were actively synthesizing and secreting proteins, and cells of the osteoblast lineage were shown to survive throughout the culture periods. The model was responsive to exogenously added transforming growth factor-β1, with observed increases in cellular migration/proliferation and expression of bone matrix proteins. The ex vivo mandible model developed within this study may represent an ideal system for investigating specific processes of bone repair, as well as a promising alternative to in vivo testing of novel clinical therapeutics.

Abstract
The distribution of a peroxidase associated with the formation of hard cuticle has been studied in developing larvae of Calpodes ethlius. It occurs in granules in several cell types but is most easily observed in the cells making the proleg spines at the 4th to 5th molt. Light microscopy shows peroxidase in numerous granules about 0.5micro in diameter at the time the cuticle of the spine shaft is being deposited. Electron microscopy shows these granules to be multivesicular bodies with peroxidase in the matrix. Peroxidase is also found in cisternae of the rough ER near Golgi complexes, in vesicles of Golgi complexes and in the secretory vesicles which discharge to make cuticle at the apical surface. The cuticle above the plasma membrane where peroxidase is being deposited reacts with DAB in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Presumably this cuticle has been 'peroxidized' as a first stage in stabilization by cross-linking. Some of the peroxidase secreted at the apical surface is pinocytosed and transported to the multivesicular bodies, suggesting that there may be a precise control of the cuticular environment through the turnover of its soluble components.

Abstract
Mutations in the gene encoding tripartite motif protein 32 (TRIM32) cause two seemingly diverse diseases: limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2H (LGMD2H) or sarcotubular myopathy (STM) and Bardet–Biedl syndrome type 11(BBS11). Although TRIM32 is involved in protein ubiquitination, its substrates and the molecular consequences of disease-causing mutations are poorly understood. In this paper, we show that TRIM32 is a widely expressed ubiquitin ligase that is localized to the Z-line in skeletal muscle. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we found that TRIM32 binds and ubiquitinates dysbindin, a protein implicated in the genetic aetiology of schizophrenia, augmenting its degradation. Small-interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of TRIM32 in myoblasts resulted in elevated levels of dysbindin. Importantly, the LGMD2H/STM-associated TRIM32 mutations, D487N and R394H impair ubiquitin ligase activity towards dysbindin and were mislocalized in heterologous cells. These mutants were able to self-associate and also co-immunoprecipitated with wild-type TRIM32 in transfected cells. Furthermore, the D487N mutant could bind to both dysbindin and its E2 enzyme but was defective in monoubiquitination. In contrast, the BBS11 mutant P130S did not show any biochemical differences compared with the wild-type protein. Our data identify TRIM32 as a regulator of dysbindin and demonstrate that the LGMD2H/STM mutations may impair substrate ubiquitination.

Abstract
While the function of dystrophin in muscle disease has been thoroughly investigated, dystrophin and associated proteins also have important roles in the central nervous system. Many patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (D/BMD) have cognitive impairment, learning disability, and an increased incidence of some neuropsychiatric disorders. Accordingly, dystrophin and members of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) are found in the brain where they participate in macromolecular assemblies that anchor receptors to specialized sites within the membrane. In neurons, dystrophin and the DGC participate in the postsynaptic clustering and stabilization of some inhibitory GABAergic synapses. During development, alpha-dystroglycan functions as an extracellular matrix receptor controlling, amongst other things, neuronal migration in the developing cortex and cerebellum. Several types of congenital muscular dystrophy caused by impaired alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation cause neuronal migration abnormalities and mental retardation. In glial cells, the DGC is involved in the organization of protein complexes that target water-channels to the plasma membrane. Finally, mutations in the gene encoding epsilon-sarcoglycan cause the neurogenic movement disorder, myoclonus-dystonia syndrome implicating epsilon-sarcoglycan in dopaminergic neurotransmission. In this review we describe the recent progress in defining the role of the DGC and associated proteins in the brain.

Abstract
AIM To assess the stress/heat shock protein (HSP) and heat shock factor activation response in overloaded (hypertrophied) plantaris muscles. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 5 per time point) underwent unilateral removal of the left gastrocnemius muscle. After 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 28 days, plantaris muscles were removed, weighted rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total protein content was determined and HSP 25 and HSP 72 contents were assessed by Western blotting. Heat shock transcription factor (HSF) activation was assessed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). RESULTS While plantaris muscle mass was significantly increased 3 days after the imposition of overload and remained elevated thereafter confirming muscle hypertrophy, muscle protein content was not increased until 7 days after the imposition of overload. HSP 72 content was significantly increased at 3 days, while HSP 25 content was not significantly increased until 7 days after synergistic muscle removal. HSF activation was detected at 1, 2 and 3 days of overload but undetectable thereafter. The addition of HSF1- and HSF2-specific antibodies to extracts prior to EMSA failed to supershift the HSF-heat shock element complex. CONCLUSION The temporal pattern of both HSF activation and HSP expression in skeletal muscle undergoing hypertrophy suggests the increased level of the observed HSPs may be both a consequence of both the immediate stress of overload and the hypertrophic process. The inability of HSF1- and HSF2-specific antibodies to cause supershifts suggests the HSF detected during overload may not be HSF1 or HSF2.

Abstract
Event DP-356Ø43-5 (356043; Optimum GAT) is a genetically modified soybean (Glycine max) that was produced by insertion of the gat4601 and gm-hra genes. The expression products of these genes are the glyphosate acetyltransferase 4601 and acetolactate synthase proteins, respectively. Expression of the glyphosate acetyltransferase 4601 protein confers tolerance in planta to the herbicidal active ingredient glyphosate, whereas expression of the acetolactate synthase protein confers tolerance to sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicides. The objective of this study was to compare the nutritional equivalence of 356043 soybeans to nontransgenic soybeans in a 42-d feeding trial in broiler chickens. Diets were prepared using processed fractions (meal, hulls, and oil) from untreated 356043 soybean plants or from soybean plants treated with a mixture of glyphosate, chlorimuron, and thifensulfuron (356043 + Gly/SU). For comparison, additional diets were produced with soybean fractions obtained from a nontransgenic near-isoline (control; 091) and nontransgenic commercial Pioneer varieties (93B86, 93B15, and 93M40). Diets were fed to Ross x Cobb broilers (n = 120/group, 50% male and 50% female) in 3 phases. Starter diets contained 30% soybean meal, grower diets 26% soybean meal, and finisher diets 21.5% soybean meal. Soybean hulls and oil were added at 1.0 and 0.5%, respectively, across all diets in each phase. No statistically significant differences were observed in mortality, growth performance variables, or carcass and organ yields between broilers consuming diets produced with 356043 or 356043 + Gly/SU soybean fractions and those consuming diets produced with near-isoline control soybean fractions. Additionally, all performance and carcass variables from control, 356043, and 356043 + Gly/SU soybean treatment groups fell within the tolerance intervals constructed using data from reference soybean groups. Based on the results from this study, it was concluded that 356043 soybean was nutritionally equivalent to nontransgenic control soybean with a comparable genetic background.

Abstract
Myoclonus-dystonia syndrome (MDS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by myoclonic jerks often seen in combination with dystonia and psychiatric co-morbidities and epilepsy. Mutations in the gene encoding epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) have been found in some patients with MDS. SGCE is a maternally imprinted gene with the disease being inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with reduced penetrance upon maternal transmission. In the central nervous system, epsilon-sarcoglycan is widely expressed in neurons of the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, hippocampus, cerebellum and the olfactory bulb. epsilon-Sarcoglycan is located at the plasma membrane in neurons, muscle and transfected cells. To determine the effect of MDS-associated mutations on the function of epsilon-sarcoglycan we examined the biosynthesis and trafficking of wild-type and mutant proteins in cultured cells. In contrast to the wild-type protein, disease-associated epsilon-sarcoglycan missense mutations (H36P, H36R and L172R) produce proteins that are undetectable at the cell surface and are retained intracellularly. These mutant proteins become polyubiquitinated and are rapidly degraded by the proteasome. Furthermore, torsinA, that is mutated in DYT1 dystonia, a rare type of primary dystonia, binds to and promotes the degradation of epsilon-sarcoglycan mutants when both proteins are co-expressed. These data demonstrate that some MDS-associated mutations in SGCE impair trafficking of the mutant protein to the plasma membrane and suggest a role for torsinA and the ubiquitin proteasome system in the recognition and processing of misfolded epsilon-sarcoglycan.

Abstract
Single telomere length analysis (STELA) of the XpYp telomere has revealed extensive allelic variation and ultra-short telomeres in senescent cells. Superimposed on end-replication losses are additional mutational events that result in large-scale changes in telomere length. In order to establish if the dynamics of the XpYp telomere are typical of human telomeres, here we describe an analysis using STELA of the telomeres of 2p, 11q, 12q, 17p and XpYp. The dynamics of telomere loss (erosion rates and stochastic length changes) was conserved among 2p, 11q, 12q and XpYp within the same cell strains and was dependent on the replicative kinetics of the cells in culture. However, of the telomeres analysed, the telomere of 17p was more stable with a striking paucity of large-scale length changes, and exhibited the shortest recorded allelic distribution (300 bp) in senescent cells and displayed a general, but not absolute, trend towards being the shortest telomere. Ectopic over-expression of hTERT homogenized both allelic and chromosome-specific telomeric distributions. However, telomerase-expressing cancer cells displayed both allelic variation and chromosome-specific telomere length, with 17p displaying the shortest allelic telomere length. Although other telomeres in the genome may share the properties of 17p, these data suggest that physiological levels of telomerase allow differential telomere length regulation and indicate the presence of cis-acting factors that govern both telomeric stability and chromosome-specific telomere length in the presence of telomerase.

Abstract
Recent work indicates that the growth and behavior of cancers are ultimately determined by a small subpopulation of malignant stem cells and that information about the properties of these cells is urgently needed to enable their targeting for therapeutic elimination. A key feature of normal stem cells is their asymmetrical division, the mechanism that allows stem cell self-renewal while producing hierarchies of amplifying and differentiating cells that form the bulk of the tissue. Most cancer deaths result from epithelial malignancies, but the extent to which the hierarchical proliferative stem and amplifying cell patterns of normal epithelia are actually retained in epithelial malignancies has been unclear. Here we show that even cell lines generated from carcinomas consistently produce in vitro colony patterns unexpectedly similar to those produced by the stem and amplifying cells of normal epithelia. From the differing types of colony morphologies formed, it is possible to predict both the growth potential of their constituent cells and their patterns of macromolecular expression. Maintenance of a subpopulation of stem cells during passage of cell lines indicates that the key stem cell property of asymmetrical division persists but is shifted towards enhanced stem cell self-renewal. The presence of malignant epithelial stem cells in vivo has been shown by serial transplantation of primary cancer cells and the present observations indicate that stem cell patterns are robust and persist even in cell lines. An understanding of this behavior should facilitate studies directed towards the molecular or pharmacologic manipulation of malignant stem cell survival.

Abstract
Recent studies implicate the collagen receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in activation of platelet 12-lipoxygenase (p12-LOX). Herein, we show that GPVI-stimulated 12-hydro(peroxy)eicosatetraenoic acid (H(P)ETE) synthesis is inhibited by palmityl trifluromethyl ketone or oleyloxyethylphosphocholine , but not bromoenol lactone, implicating secretory and cytosolic, but not calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) isoforms. Also, following GPVI activation, 12-LOX co-immunoprecipitates with both cytosolic and secretory PLA2 (sPLA2). Finally, venoms containing sPLA2 acutely activate p12-LOX in a dose-dependent manner. This study shows that platelet 12-H(P)ETE generation utilizes arachidonate substrate from both c- and sPLA2 and that 12-LOX functionally associates with both PLA2 isoforms.

Abstract
The early concepts concerning hematopoietic and epithelial stem cells that were derived from kinetic studies have been greatly enhanced by new information about a range of other properties of somatic and embryonic stem cells. Firstly, the stem and amplifying pattern characteristically established by epithelial lineages has been found to represent an intrinsic pattern that is generated by somatic epithelial stem cells without the need for additional environmental information. Secondly, it is now apparent that somatic epithelial stem cells are plastic and can be directed into a range of new pathways of differentiation by heterotypic interactions. The mechanisms of this plasticity need to be reconciled with the normally stable commitment of these cells to production only of progeny entering a tightly restricted range of phenotypic pathways. The present review discusses the intrinsic properties of epithelial stem cells and how they may be acted upon by connective tissues to generate a wide range of phenotypically different epithelial structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin and oral mucosal keratinocytes grown in vitro usually lose their normal patterns of differentiation, unless grown as organotypical cultures that are constructed by allowing collagen gels containing fibroblasts to contract before they are plated with keratinocytes and raised to the air/medium interface. However, the contraction process tends to produce small irregular cultures. METHODS To generate uniformly differentiating large cultures, we have investigated several aspects of the factors involved in the culture construction. By adjusting the number of fibroblasts used and by plating the matrices with keratinocytes prior to contraction, cultures of up to 72 cm2 were constructed. RESULTS The cultures retained almost the full surface areas of the original matrices and showed uniform patterns of epithelial plating and differentiation. Immunostaining for cytokeratins and integrins indicated restoration of in vitro phenotypes similar to those of the epithelial tissues of origin. CONCLUSIONS These methods successfully generate cultures required for certain types of investigations and tissues that are suitable for clinical use as grafts.

Abstract
Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (SF) are two signalling molecules thought to play important roles in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Expression of both factors by fibroblasts in subepithelial connective tissue may play a role in maintaining epithelial integrity in health and in the apical migration of junctional epithelium in periodontitis. The aims of this study were (a) to compare expression levels of KGF and SF by periodontal ligament (PDL) and gingival fibroblasts; and (ii) to determine the effects of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on KGF/SF expression by these cell populations. Three paired PDL and gingival fibroblast strains were developed. The KGF and SF protein levels were analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Relative levels of KGF and SF mRNA in cytokine-treated cultures were determined using semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. No differences in the levels of KGF and SF produced by PDL and gingival (SOG) populations were found. In both cell types IL-1 beta stimulated KGF and SF expression, while TGF-beta 1 significantly inhibited expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Epidermal growth factor and PDGF-BB induced differing effects on expression, stimulating SF protein production but inhibiting KGF output in both fibroblast populations. Differences in response to EGF and PDGF were also seen between paired PDL and gingival fibroblasts.

Abstract
Therapeutic ultrasound (US) is a common treatment used in the rehabilitation of injured muscle. To determine whether therapeutic US could increase the content of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 in skeletal muscle, male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized and the muscles from one hind limb treated with 15 min of US at 1 MHz using either: 1. continuous US at 1.0 W/cm(2), 2. pulsed US at 2.0 W/cm(2) at 50% duty cycle, or 3. pulsed US at 1.0 W/cm(2) at 20% duty cycle. All treatments were applied using a transducer (1.6-cm diameter) on an area of the rat hind limb twice the size of the sound head. At 24 h following treatment, the plantaris, soleus, white and red gastrocnemius muscles were removed and assessed for HSP 72 content by Western blotting. No significant increases in HSP 72 content were detected in any of the muscles examined following any US treatment. These results suggest muscle HSP content is not elevated following a typical therapeutic dose of either continuous or pulsed US in the rat.

Abstract
Cryotherapy is a common treatment for musculoskeletal injuries, yet the mechanism(s) underlying its effects remain unclear. Since cryotherapeutic treatment often involves temperatures that are known to induce the protective stress proteins (SPs), we determined whether SP 25 and SP 72 expression was altered following a 20-min cold stress to the hindlimb muscles of Sprague-Dawley rats. The right hindlimb of anesthetized animals was placed in an ice bath until muscle temperature decreased to either 8.4 +/- 0.4 degrees C or 19.7 +/- 0.3 degrees C for 20 min. After a 24-h recovery, the white and red gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus, extensor digitorum longus, and tibialis anterior muscles from both legs were removed and rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen. Portions of the muscles were homogenized and SP 25 and SP 72 content was assessed by SDS-PAGE/Western blot analyses. Quantification of SP 25 and SP 72 by densitometric scanning of blots demonstrated no significant increases in SP 25 or SP 72 content in any of the muscles exposed to either the 8 or the 20 degrees C cold stress compared to muscles from the unstressed contralateral limbs. These results suggest that a 20-min cold stress of 8 degrees C or 20 degrees C does not increase muscle SP 25 or SP 72 content.

Abstract
In cultured cells, salicylate has been shown to potentiate the induction of Hsp72 so that a mild heat stress (40 degrees C) in the presence of salicylate induces an Hsp72 response that is similar to a severe heat stress (42 degrees C). To determine whether salicylate can potentiate the myocardial Hsp70 response in vivo and confer protection from an ischemic stress, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were placed into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) salicylate only (400 mg/kg), (3) mild heat stress (40 degrees C for 15 minutes), (4) mild heat stress plus salicylate, and (5) severe heat stress (42 degrees C for 15 minutes). Twenty-four hours following salicylate treatment and/or heat stress, animals were anesthetized, their hearts rapidly isolated, and hemodynamic function evaluated using the Langendorff technique. Hsp72 content was subsequently assessed by Western blotting. Although salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress induced heat shock factor activation, only the hearts from severely heat-stressed animals (42 degrees C) demonstrated a significantly elevated myocardial Hsp72 content and a significantly enhanced postischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and rates of contraction and relaxation. These results support the role for Hsp72 as a protective protein and suggest that neither salicylate treatment alone nor salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress potentiates the myocardial Hsp72 response.

To determine whether salicylate can potentiate the myocardial Hsp70 response in vivo and confer protection from an ischemic stress, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were placed into 5 groups: (1) control, (2) salicylate only (400 mg/kg), (3) mild heat stress (40 degrees C for 15 minutes), (4) mild heat stress plus salicylate, and (5) severe heat stress (42 degrees C for 15 minutes). Twenty-four hours following salicylate treatment and/or heat stress, animals were anesthetized, their hearts rapidly isolated, and hemodynamic function evaluated using the Langendorff technique. Hsp72 content was subsequently assessed by Western blotting. Although salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress induced heat shock factor activation, only the hearts from severely heat-stressed animals (42 degrees C) demonstrated a significantly elevated myocardial Hsp72 content and a significantly enhanced postischemic recovery of left ventricular developed pressure and rates of contraction and relaxation. These results support the role for Hsp72 as a protective protein and suggest that neither salicylate treatment alone nor salicylate in combination with a mild heat stress potentiates the myocardial Hsp72 response.
