AIMS: To compare the vitamin D status of 34 children, 9-24 months old, living in an area of Delhi renowned for high levels of atmospheric pollution (Mori Gate), with a comparable age matched group of children from a less polluted (Gurgaon) area of the city. METHODS: Serum concentrations of calcium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) were measured. Haze scores, regarded as a surrogate marker of solar UVB radiation reaching ground level, were measured in both areas. RESULTS: Mean 25(OH)D of children in the Mori Gate area was 12.4 (7) ng/ml, compared with 27.1 (7) ng/ml in children living in the Gurgaon area (p < 0.001). The median ALP (p < 0.05) and mean PTH (p < 0.001) concentrations were higher in children living in the Mori Gate area than in the Gurgaon area. The mean haze score in the Mori Gate area (2.1 (0.5)) was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than in the Gurgaon area (2.7 (0.4)), indicating less solar UVB reaching the ground in Mori Gate. CONCLUSION: We suggest that children living in areas of high atmospheric pollution are at risk of developing vitamin D deficiency rickets and should be offered vitamin D supplements.

Adhesion-related kinase repression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone gene expression requires Rac activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway.

Recent studies suggest that adhesion-related kinase (Ark) plays a role in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal physiology. Ark promotes migration of GnRH neurons via Rac GTPase and concomitantly suppresses GnRH gene expression via homeodomain and myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) transcription factors. Here, we investigated the signaling cascade required for Ark inhibition of the GnRH promoter in GT1-7 GnRH neuronal cells. Ark repression was blocked by the MEK/ERK pathway inhibitor, PD98059, and dominant negative MEK1 but was unaffected by dominant negative Ras. Inhibitors of the Rho family GTPases, Clostridium difficile toxin B (Rho/Rac/Cdc42 inhibitor) and Clostridium sordellii lethal toxin (Rac/Cdc42 inhibitor), blocked Ark inhibition of GnRH transcription. Moreover, dominant negative Rac blunted both Ark activation of ERK and repression of the GnRH promoter, demonstrating an essential role for Rac in coupling Ark to ERK activation. Like Ark, a constitutively active mutant of Rac suppressed GnRH transcription in an ERK-dependent manner. Finally, Ark-mediated repression was significantly attenuated by a dominant negative MEF2C, whereas repression induced by constitutively active Rac was unaffected, indicating that MEF2 proteins are not targets of the Ark --> Rac --> MEK --> ERK cascade. The data suggest that Ark suppresses GnRH gene expression via the coordinated activation of a Rac --> ERK signaling pathway and a distinct MEF2- dependent mechanism.

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide activates the Raf-Mek1/2-ERK1/2 module via a cyclic AMP/cAMP-dependent protein kinase/Rap1-mediated pathway.

The gastrointestinal hormone, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), is one of the most important regulators of insulin secretion following ingestion of a meal. GIP stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cell via its G protein-coupled receptor activation of adenylyl cyclase and other signal transduction pathways, but there is little known regarding subsequent protein kinase pathways that are activated. A screening technique was used to determine the relative abundance of 75 protein kinases in CHO-K1 cells expressing the GIP receptor and in two pancreatic beta-cell lines (betaTC-3 and INS-1 (832/13) cells). This information was used to identify kinases that are potentially regulated following GIP stimulation, with a focus on GIP regulation of the ERK1/2 MAPK pathway. In CHO-K1 cells, GIP induced phosphorylation of Raf-1 (Ser-259), Mek1/2 (Ser-217/Ser-221), ERK1/2 (Thr-202 and Tyr-204), and p90 RSK (Ser-380) in a concentration-dependent manner. Activation of ERK1/2 was maximal at 4 min and was cAMP-dependent protein kinase-dependent and protein kinase C-independent. Studies using a beta-cell line (INS-1 clone 832/13) corroborated these findings, and it was also demonstrated that the ERK1/2 module could be activated by GIP in the absence of glucose. Finally, we have shown that GIP regulation of the ERK1/2 module is via Rap1 but does not involve Gbetagamma subunits nor Src tyrosine kinase, and we propose that cAMP-based regulation occurs via B-Raf in both CHO-K1 and beta-cells. These results establish the importance of GIP in the cellular regulation of the ERK1/2 module and identify a role for cAMP in coupling its G protein-coupled receptors to ERK1/2 activity in pancreatic beta-cells.

The solution structure of human hepcidin, a peptide hormone with antimicrobial activity that is involved in iron uptake and hereditary hemochromatosis.

The antibacterial and antifungal peptide hepcidin (LEAP-1) is expressed in the liver. This circulating peptide has recently been found to also act as a signaling molecule in iron metabolism. As such, it plays an important role in hereditary hemochromatosis, a serious iron overload disease. In this study, we report the solution structures of the hepcidin-20 and -25 amino acid peptides determined by standard two-dimensional (1)H NMR spectroscopy. These small cysteine-rich peptides form a distorted beta-sheet with an unusual vicinal disulfide bridge found at the turn of the hairpin, which is probably of functional significance. Both peptides exhibit an overall amphipathic structure with six of the eight Cys involved in maintaining interstrand connectivity. Hepcidin-25 assumes major and minor conformations centered about the Pro residue near the N-terminal end. Further NMR diffusion studies indicate that hepcidin-20 exists as a monomer in solution, whereas hepcidin-25 readily aggregates, a property that may contribute to the different activities of the two peptides. The nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy spectra of the hepcidin-25 aggregates indicate an interface for peptide interactions that again involves the first five residues from the N-terminal end.

Obesity is more linked to vascular disease, including atherosclerosis and restenotic change, after balloon angioplasty. The precise mechanism linking obesity and vascular disease is still unclear. Previously we have demonstrated that the plasma levels of adiponectin, an adipose-derived hormone, decreases in obese subjects, and that hypoadiponectinemia is associated to ischemic heart disease. In current the study, we investigated the in vivo role of adiponectin on the neointimal thickening after artery injury using adiponectin-deficient mice and adiponectin-producing adenovirus. Adiponectin-deficient mice showed severe neointimal thickening and increased proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in mechanically injured arteries. Adenovirus-mediated supplement of adiponectin attenuated neointimal proliferation. In cultured smooth muscle cells, adiponectin attenuated DNA synthesis induced by growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor, and EGF and cell proliferation and migration induced by HB-EGF. In cultured endothelial cells, adiponectin attenuated HB-EGF expression stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha. The current study suggests an adipo-vascular axis, a direct link between fat and artery. A therapeutic strategy to increase plasma adiponectin should be useful in preventing vascular restenosis after angioplasty.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
