Cre-lox site-specific recombination between Arabidopsis and tobacco chromosomes.

To create hybrid chromosomes, we tested the Cre-lox system to mediate recombination between Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum chromosomes. Protoplasts of the two plants were fused to allow site-specific recombination to join a promoter from tobacco to a hygromycin resistance coding-region from Arabidopsis. The expected recombination junction was detected in hygromycin-resistant calli. Analysis of one hybrid suspension cell line revealed the presence of markers corresponding to the north arm of Arabidopsis chromosome III, but not markers from other chromosome arms. However, these markers were not detected in regenerated plants. With a second hybrid cell line we obtained a single hygromycin-resistant progeny from approximately 18 000 self-fertilized seeds of one regenerated plant. Molecular analysis of this hybrid indicated that a small portion of the north arm of Arabidopsis chromosome V is present in the tobacco genome. However, neither the recombination junction nor Arabidopsis DNA was detected in tissue from the plant grown without selection or in the subsequent generation. Thus interspecies transfer of a chromosome arm between plant cells is possible, but maintenance of the hybrid chromosome in a plant is unlikely. The feasibility of site-specific recombination between genomes of different species offers new possibilities for engineering hybrid chromosomes that may be maintained in cell culture.

Anchor epicanthoplasty combined with out-fold type double eyelidplasty for Asians: do we have to make an additional scar to correct the Asian epicanthal fold?

The epicanthal fold along with a lack of a superior palpebral fold, excessive fat, and laxity of pretarsal skin represent the ethnic characteristics and a traditional sense of beauty in the Asian upper eyelid. But, too prominent an epicanthal fold may ruin an otherwise beautiful eye; furthermore, it becomes a restriction that makes the out-fold type double eyelidplasty, one of the two main types of double eyelidplasty, impossible. If a double eyelid as an out-fold type is desired, a concomitant epicanthoplasty should be performed with the possibility of hypertrophic scarring of the medial canthal area in Asians. To address the Asian epicanthal fold without danger of hypertrophic scarring, the authors developed an anchor epicanthoplasty technique that leaves no additional scar when combined with a double eyelidplasty. This technique is based on the concept of trimming of muscle and soft tissue under the Asian epicanthal fold and downward medial advancement and anchoring of the medial canthal skin to the deep tissue. The technique consists of five procedures based on the assumed causes of the Asian epicanthal fold: (1) augmentation rhinoplasty, (2) downward medial advancement of the medial upper lid skin, (3) removal of the superficial insertion of the medial canthal ligament and selective removal of the orbicularis oculi muscle, (4) subcutaneous contouring of the thick nasal skin, and (5) anchoring of the medial end of the incision to the deep tissue. During the past 12 years (1988 to 1999), 67 anchor epicanthoplasty procedures have been performed. Twenty-eight cases were followed up for more than 3 months, and all of the patients were satisfied with the results. There were only a few minor complications, which could be corrected with minimal revision. As an ancillary procedure to a double eyelidplasty, this anchor epicanthoplasty can reduce the Asian epicanthal fold and make a double fold as an out-fold type without an additional scar. In terms of hypertrophic scarring and compatibility with out-fold type double eyelidplasty, this anchor epicanthoplasty is the best method for correcting Asian epicanthal fold compared with other preexisting procedures. Other advantages of this technique are a wide range of applications and no compromise of medial, canthal skin to interfere with other epicanthoplasty techniques. Some disadvantages of this technique are technical difficulty and the possibility of active bleeding.

Lengthening of the postoperative short nose: combined use of a gull-wing concha composite graft and a rib costochondral dorsal onlay graft.

Several causes of short nose are known: congenital anomaly, developmental problem, trauma, and various types of rhinoplasty-the postoperative short nose being one of the most difficult problems to correct in plastic surgery. Contracted skin envelope, tissue deficiency of cartilage and mucosal lining, and poor circulation make postoperative short nose difficult to lengthen and susceptible to recurrence. Thus, for effective lengthening and long-term maintenance of it, specific grafts should be used to supplement the missing lining and cartilage and a mechanical support also is needed to withstand the skin contraction. The nose consists of three structural layers: the outer skin envelope, middle osteocartilaginous framework, and inner mucosal lining. Many methods have been proposed to correct short nose deformity. Those procedures lengthen the nose slightly, but none of them take into account the unique characteristics of postoperative causes and the structural concept of the nose. The procedures have resulted in only limited success. On the basis of the above clinical findings and the structural concept, we developed a surgical technique to correct postoperative short nose according to the structural layers. Our method consists of three main surgical maneuvers: (1) a gull-wing concha chondrocutaneous composite graft to supplement the deficient middle and inner layers, (2) a rib costochondral onlay graft on the dorsum to reinforce the framework, and (3) wide dissection of the outer skin envelope to cover the lengthened framework without tension. We prefer a closed surgical approach rather than an open approach to avoid too much tension on the columellar incision site and to allay patients' fear of an additional scar. From 1988 to 1998, we performed our lengthening technique on six female patients. All six patients demonstrated a significant lengthening and improved appearance postoperatively. After the lengthening procedure, the average nasolabial angle improved from 116 degrees to 104 degrees. The mean follow-up period was 8.7 months, with a range of 3 to 17 months. Sometimes, epidermal sloughing in the vertical strut of the gull-wing

High-resolution transcript map of the region spanning D12S1629 and D12S312 at chromosome 12q13: triple A syndrome-linked region.

For those searching for human disease-causing genes, information on the position of genes with respect to genetic markers is essential. The physical map composed of ESTs and genetic markers provides the positional information of these markers as well as the starting point of gene identification in the form of genomic clones containing exons. To facilitate the effort of identification of genes in the region spanning D12S1629 and D12S312, we constructed a high-resolution transcript map with PAC/BAC/cosmid clones. The strategy for the construction of such a map involved utilization of STSs for the screening of the large insert bacterial chromosome libraries and a chromosome 12-specific cosmid library by hybridization. The contig was constructed based on the STS contents of the clones. The resulting high-resolution transcript map of the region between P273P14/SP6 and D12S312 spans 4.4 cM from 66.8 to 71.2 cM of the Généthon genetic map and represents approximately 2.4 Mb. It was composed of 81 BAC, 45 PAC, and 91 cosmid clones with a minimal tiling path consisting of 16 BAC and 4 PAC clones. These clones are being used to sequence this part of chromosome 12. We determined the order of 135 STSs including 74 genes and ESTs in the map. Among these, 115 STSs were unambiguously ordered, resulting in one ordered marker per 21 kb. The order of keratin type II locus genes was determined. This map would greatly enhance the positional cloning effort of the responsible genes for those diseases that are linked to this region, including male germ cell tumor as well as palmoplantar keratoderma, Bothnian-type, and triple A syndrome. This transcript map was localized at human chromosome 12q13.

Insight into the physiological function(s) of uteroglobin by gene-knockout and antisense-transgenic approaches.

To determine the physiological function(s) of uteroglobin (UG), a steroid-inducible, homodimeric, secreted protein, we have generated transgenic mice that either are completely UG-deficient due to UG gene-knockout (UG-KO) or are partially UG-deficient due to the expression of UG antisense RNA (UG-AS). Both the UG-KO and UG-AS mice develop immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN), characterized by microhematuria, albuminuria, and renal glomerular deposition of IgA, fibronectin (Fn), collagen, and C3 complement. This phenotype of both UG-KO and UG-AS mice is virtually identical to that of human IgAN, the most common primary glomerulopathy worldwide. The molecular mechanism by which UG prevents this disease in mice appears to center around UG's interaction with Fn. Since Fn, IgA, and UG are present in circulation and high plasma levels of IgA-Fn complex have been reported in human IgAN, we sought to determine whether UG interacts with Fn and prevents Fn-Fn and/or IgA-Fn interactions, essential for abnormal tissue deposition of Fn and IgA. Our coimmunoprecipitation studies uncovered the formation of Fn-UG heteromers in vitro and these heteromers are detectable in the plasma of normal mice, but not UG-KO mice. Further, high plasma levels of IgA-Fn complex, a characteristic of human IgAN patients, were also found in UG-KO mice. Finally, coadministration of UG + Fn or UG + IgA to UG-KO mice prevented glomerular deposition of Fn and IgA, respectively. Our results define a possible molecular mechanism of IgAN and provide insight into at least one important physiological function of UG in maintaining normal renal function in mice.

Mutagenesis of the signal sequence of yellow fever virus prM protein: enhancement of signalase cleavage In vitro is lethal for virus production.

Proteolytic processing at the C-prM junction in the flavivirus polyprotein involves coordinated cleavages at the cytoplasmic and luminal sides of an internal signal sequence. We have introduced at the COOH terminus of the yellow fever virus (YFV) prM signal sequence amino acid substitutions (VPQAQA mutation) which uncoupled efficient signal peptidase cleavage of the prM protein from its dependence on prior cleavage in the cytoplasm of the C protein mediated by the viral NS2B-3 protease. Infectivity assays with full-length YFV RNA transcripts showed that the VPQAQA mutation, which enhanced signal peptidase cleavage in vitro, was lethal for infectious virus production. Revertants or second-site mutants were recovered from cells transfected with VPQAQA RNA. Analysis of these viruses revealed that single amino acid substitutions in different domains of the prM signal sequence could restore viability. These variants had growth properties in vertebrate cells which differed only slightly from those of the parent virus, despite efficient signal peptidase cleavage of prM in cell-free expression assays. However, the neurovirulence in mice of the VPQAQA variants was significantly attenuated. This study demonstrates that substitutions in the prM signal sequence which disrupt coordinated cleavages at the C-prM junction can impinge on the biological properties of the mutant viruses. Factors other than the rate of production of prM are vitally controlled by regulated cleavages at this site.

Substitutions at the putative receptor-binding site of an encephalitic flavivirus alter virulence and host cell tropism and reveal a role for glycosaminoglycans in entry.

The flavivirus receptor-binding domain has been putatively assigned to a hydrophilic region (FG loop) in the envelope (E) protein. In some flaviviruses this domain harbors the integrin-binding motif Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD). One of us has shown earlier that host cell adaptation of Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVE) can result in the selection of attenuated variants altered at E protein residue Asp(390), which is part of an RGD motif. Here, a full-length, infectious cDNA clone of MVE was constructed and employed to systematically investigate the impact of single amino acid changes at Asp(390) on cell tropism, virus entry, and virulence. Each of 10 different E protein 390 mutants was viable. Three mutants (Gly(390), Ala(390), and His(390)) showed pronounced differences from an infectious clone-derived control virus in growth in mammalian and mosquito cells. The altered cell tropism correlated with (i) a difference in entry kinetics, (ii) an increased dependence on glycosaminoglycans (determined by inhibition of virus infectivity by heparin) for attachment of the three mutants to different mammalian cells, and (iii) the loss of virulence in mice. These results confirm a functional role of the FG loop in the flavivirus E protein in virus entry and suggest that encephalitic flaviviruses can enter cells via attachment to glycosaminoglycans. However, it appears that additional cell surface molecules are also used as receptors by natural isolates of MVE and that the increased dependence on glycosaminoglycans for entry results in the loss of neuroinvasiveness.

Modulation of major histocompatibility class II protein expression by varicella-zoster virus.

We sought to investigate the effects of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection on gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-stimulated expression of cell surface major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on human fibroblasts. IFN-gamma treatment induced cell surface MHC class II expression on 60 to 86% of uninfected cells, compared to 20 to 30% of cells which had been infected with VZV prior to the addition of IFN-gamma. In contrast, cells that were treated with IFN-gamma before VZV infection had profiles of MHC class II expression similar to those of uninfected cell populations. Neither IFN-gamma treatment nor VZV infection affected the expression of transferrin receptor (CD71). In situ and Northern blot hybridization of MHC II (MHC class II DR-alpha) RNA expression in response to IFN-gamma stimulation revealed that MHC class II DR-alpha mRNA accumulated in uninfected cells but not in cells infected with VZV. When skin biopsies of varicella lesions were analyzed by in situ hybridization, MHC class II transcripts were detected in areas around lesions but not in cells that were infected with VZV. VZV infection inhibited the expression of Stat 1alpha and Jak2 proteins but had little effect on Jak1. Analysis of regulatory events in the IFN-gamma signaling pathway showed that VZV infection inhibited transcription of interferon regulatory factor 1 and the MHC class II transactivator. This is the first report that VZV encodes an immunomodulatory function which directly interferes with the IFN-gamma signal transduction via the Jak/Stat pathway and enables the virus to inhibit IFN-gamma induction of cell surface MHC class II expression. This inhibition of MHC class II expression on VZV-infected cells in vivo may transiently protect cells from CD4(+) T-cell immune surveillance, facilitating local virus replication and transmission during the first few days of cutaneous lesion formation.

Acute gastritis with hypochlorhydria: report of 35 cases with long term follow up.

BACKGROUND: Between 1976 and 1987, 35 cases of acute gastritis with hypochlorhydria (AGH) were seen in our research laboratory. The aims of this study were to determine the natural history of AGH and the role of Helicobacter pylori in its pathogenesis. METHODS: Archived serum and gastric biopsy samples obtained from AGH subjects were examined for evidence of H pylori colonisation. Twenty eight of 33 (85%) surviving AGH subjects returned a mean of 12 years after AGH for follow up studies, including determination of H pylori antibodies, basal and peak acid output, endoscopy, and gastric biopsies. A matched control group underwent the same studies. RESULTS: Archived material provided strong evidence of new H pylori acquisition in a total of 14 subjects within two months, in 18 within four months, and in 22 within 12 months of recognition of AGH. Prevalence of H pylori colonisation at follow up was 82% (23 of 28) in AGH subjects, significantly (p<0.05) higher than in matched controls (29%). Basal and peak acid output returned to pre-AGH levels in all but two subjects. CONCLUSIONS: One of several possible initial manifestations of H pylori acquisition in adults may be AGH. While H pylori colonisation usually persists, hypochlorhydria resolves in most subjects.

Intestinal ion transport in NKCC1-deficient mice.

The Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) located on the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelia has been postulated to be the major basolateral Cl(-) entry pathway. With targeted mutagenesis, mice deficient in the NKCC1 protein were generated. The basal short-circuit current did not differ between normal and NKCC1 -/- jejuna. In the -/- jejuna, the forskolin response (22 microA/cm(2); bumetanide insensitive) was significantly attenuated compared with the bumetanide-sensitive response (52 microA/cm(2)) in normal tissue. Ion-replacement studies demonstrated that the forskolin response in the NKCC1 -/- jejuna was HCO(3)(-) dependent, whereas in the normal jejuna it was independent of the HCO(3)(-) concentration in the buffer. NKCC1 -/- ceca exhibited a forskolin response that did not differ significantly from that of normal ceca, but unlike that of normal ceca, was bumetanide insensitive. Ion-substitution studies suggested that basolateral HCO(3)(-) as well as Cl(-) entry (via non-NKCC1) paths played a role in the NKCC1 -/- secretory response. In contrast to cystic fibrosis mice, which lack both basal and stimulated Cl(-) secretion and exhibit severe intestinal pathology, the absence of intestinal pathology in NKCC1 -/- mice likely reflects the ability of the intestine to secrete HCO(3)(-) and Cl(-) by basolateral entry mechanisms independent of NKCC1.

Distribution of ion transport mRNAs throughout murine nose and lung.

Evidence of absorptive or secretory ion transport in different respiratory regions of the mouse was sought by assessing the regional distribution of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-epithelial sodium channel (ENaC; Na(+) absorptive), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductor regulator (CFTR), and Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter mRNAs. High levels of ENaC subunit expression were found in nasal surface epithelium and gland ducts. CFTR was expressed in both superficial nasal respiratory epithelium and glands. These results are consistent with basal amiloride-sensitive Na(+) absorption and cAMP-dependent Cl(-) secretion in murine nasal epithelia. Expression of all three ENaC subunits increased progressively from trachea to terminal bronchioles. Intermediate levels of CFTR and cotransporter expression in bronchial epithelium diminished in bronchioles. The low abundance of CFTR mRNA throughout murine pulmonary epithelium is consistent with functional data that attributes Cl(-) secretion predominantly to an alternative Cl(-) channel. alpha-ENaC as the only mRNA found in all regions of airway epithelia is consistent with the alpha-subunit as requisite for Na(+) absorption, and the increased expression of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-ENaC in distal airways suggests a greater absorptive capability in this region.

Leukotriene receptor antagonists and synthesis inhibitors reverse survival in eosinophils of asthmatic individuals.

Eosinophilia is a feature of airway inflammation associated with asthma. Leukotriene antagonists provide therapeutic benefit in asthma, but their potential antiinflammatory actions have not been fully explored. We have examined the role of eosinophil-derived cysteinyl leukotrienes in the maintenance of eosinophil survival, and the involvement of leukotrienes in the paracrine stimulation of eosinophil survival by mast cells and lymphocytes. We obtained eosinophils and autologous lymphocytes from peripheral blood of asthmatic subjects. Leukotriene (LT)-B(4), LTC(4) and LTD(4), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and fibronectin promoted eosinophil survival. LTD(4) (10(-)(6) M) was as effective as GM-CSF (5 ng/ml) and fibronectin (400 ng/ml) in promoting survival. Lymphocytes and conditioned medium from a human mast cell line (HMC-1) induced eosinophil survival. Blockade of cysteinyl leukotriene receptors with SKF 104353 (pobilukast, 3 nM), and inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) with BW A4C (1 microM) and of 5-LO activating protein with MK 886 (1 microM), all increased basal rates of eosinophil apoptosis and reversed GM-CSF-induced eosinophil survival. Fifty percent reversal of GM-CSF- induced survival was achieved with SKF 104353 at 0.3 nM. The potency of SKF 104353 was two orders of magnitude greater than that of the LTB(4) receptor antagonist SB 201146. Mast cell- and lymphocyte-induced eosinophil survival were completely reversed by SB 201146, SKF 104353, BW A4C, and MK 886. These findings provide evidence for the involvement of an autocrine cysteinyl leukotriene pathway that supports eosinophil survival in response to a range of survival stimuli. They also suggest that LTB(4) could act as a paracrine stimulus of eosinophil survival.

Failure of spermatogenesis in mouse lines deficient in the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter.

The Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) carries 1 molecule of Na(+) and K(+) along with 2 molecules of Cl(-) across the cell membrane. It is expressed in a broad spectrum of tissues and has been implicated in cell volume regulation and in ion transport by secretory epithelial tissue. However, the specific contribution of NKCC1 to the physiology of the various organ systems is largely undefined. We have generated mouse lines carrying either of 2 mutant alleles of the Slc12a2 gene, which encodes this cotransporter: a null allele and a mutation that results in deletion of 72 amino acids of the cytoplasmic domain. Both NKCC1-deficient mouse lines show behavioral abnormalities characteristic of mice with inner ear defects. Male NKCC1-deficient mice are infertile because of defective spermatogenesis, as shown by the absence of spermatozoa in histological sections of their epididymides and the small number of spermatids in their testes. Consistent with this observation, we show that Slc12a2 is expressed in Sertoli cells, pachytene spermatocytes, and round spermatids isolated from wild-type animals. Our results indicate a critical role for NKCC1-mediated ion transport in spermatogenesis and suggest that the cytoplasmic domain of NKCC1 is essential in the normal functioning of this protein.

Purification and embryotropic roles of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in development of "HanWoo" (Bos taurus coreanae) oocytes co-cultured with bovine oviduct epithelial cells.

This study was conducted to purify a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in a serum-free medium conditioned with bovine oviduct epithelial cells (BOEC) and to evaluate its effect on development of "HanWoo" (Bos taurus coreanae) embryos to the blastocyst stage. In the first study using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, the presence of 32 kDa proteins, which contains TIMP-1, was detected in the medium conditioned with BOEC, and TIMP-1 was then purified from the medium by gel filtration and HPLC techniques. When examined TIMP-1 secretion, fluorescent foci indicating the secretion of TIMP-1 were found after stained BOEC with fluorescein isothiocyanate. In the next experiment, two-cell embryos derived from in vitro-fertilization were cultured in a serum-free medium, to which 0, 1.25, 2.5 or 5 microg/ml of purified TIMP-1 was supplemented. More (P<0.05) embryos developed to the morula and blastocyst stages after the addition of 2.5 microg/ml to culture medium than after no addition. In conclusion, our data indicate that BOEC secrete TIMP-1 and this glycoprotein promotes the prehatched development of "HanWoo" embryos derived from in vitro-fertilization.

Participation of the photosensitizer alpha-terthienyl in the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid.

The plant photosensitizer alpha-terthienyl (alpha T) is toxic toward a variety of organisms, and normally requires exposure to ultraviolet-A radiation for activation and singlet molecular oxygen formation. However, some toxicity has also been reported to occur in the dark. One hypothesis that has been proposed to account for this light-independent toxicity is that the sensitizer becomes activated by energy transfer from the excited-state products of enzymatic reactions. We have investigated this hypothesis using the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which generates indole-3-aldehyde in an excited triplet state. Light is emitted during the IAA/HRP reaction at acidic pH, is increased by inclusion of alpha T and is not observed with heat-denatured HRP. The rates of both the oxidation of IAA and the subsidence of light emission are more rapid in the IAA/alpha T/HRP system than with IAA and HRP alone, indicating that the presence of alpha T accelerates the reaction. Bleaching occurs at the wavelength of maximal alpha T absorbance and is promoted by the inclusion of IAA. Readdition of both IAA and alpha T to a spent reaction mixture is required to restore light emission after it has subsided, further suggesting that both are consumed in the reaction. We were unable to detect measurable quantities of singlet molecular oxygen formation in this system. These results do not support the energy transfer hypothesis, but instead are more compatible with a model proposed by Krylov and Chebotareva [Krylov, S. N. and A. B. Chebotareva (1993) FEBS Lett. 324, 6-8] for the co-oxidation of IAA and xanthene dyes.

A sequence-ready map for human chromosome 12q15-21.

Construction of sequence-ready clone map is an essential step toward sequencing the human genome. We chose a region that is frequently amplified in liposarcoma between D12S350 and D12S106 in chromosome 12q15-21 to build a PAC/BAC clone contig map. This region was spanned by 4 YACs and contained 30 STS on the YAC and radiation hybrid (RH) framework maps, providing an average STS spacing of 160 kb if each YAC is approximately 1.2 Mb in size. To convert a STS-based YAC map to a STS-based contig map of bacterial clones, 22 non-polymorphic STS markers were used as probes to screen the high density gridded arrays of PAC and BAC clones by filter hybridizations, followed by assembly of clones into contigs by marker content. Contigs have been extended and joined by direct end sequencing of appropriate clones, generating new STSs and rescreening the library as necessary. Using these approaches, we have constructed 5 contigs covering the region with the largest single contig being 1.4 Mb and a final size estimation of 3.6 Mb. The map is comprised of 17 YACs, 187 PACs, 160 BACs, and 17 cosmids; onto this, 6 polymorphic, 97 non-polymorphic, 24 ESTs, and 4 gene-based markers are now placed in a unique order, providing an average resolution of approximately 28 kb. Of a total of 131 markers, 97 were developed in the present study. The sequence-ready map should provide a framework to generate complete DNA sequence and ultimately gene map of this segment of chromosome 12.
