Antisense PNA effects in Escherichia coli are limited by the outer-membrane LPS layer.

Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) can inhibit Escherichia coli gene expression and cell growth through sequence-specific RNA binding, and this opens possibilities for novel anti-infective agents and tools for microbial functional genomics. However, the cellular effects of PNAs are limited relative to effects in cell extracts, presumably because of cell barrier components such as the outer-membrane lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer or drug efflux pumps, both of which function to exclude antibiotics and other foreign molecules. To evaluate the importance of such cellular factors on PNA effects, the authors developed a positive assay for antisense inhibition by targeting the lac operon repressor and compared PNA susceptibilities in mutant and wild-type E. coli by assessing lacZ induction. Strains with defective LPS (AS19 and D22) were more permeable to the antibiotic nitrocefin and more susceptible to PNA than the wild-type. Also, PNA potency was improved in wild-type cells grown in the presence of certain cell-wall-permeabilizing agents. In contrast, the activities of the Acr and Emr drug efflux pumps were not found to affect PNA susceptibility. The results show that the LPS layer is a major barrier against cell entry, but PNAs that can enter E. coli are likely to remain active inside cells.

BACKGROUND: Although extensive microbial analyses have been performed from subgingival plaque samples of periodontitis patients, systematic analysis of subgingival microbiota has not been carried out in a Korean population so far. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of major putative periodontopathogens in Korean patients by culture-independent methods. METHODS: A total of 244 subgingival plaque samples (5 sites in each participant) were taken from 29 advanced adult periodontitis (AP) patients and 20 periodontally healthy subjects. AP samples were obtained from the 4 deepest periodontal pockets (> or =6 mm probing depth [PD]) and 1 healthy site (< or =3 mm PD) in each patient. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of subgingival plaque bacteria was performed with eubacterial primers. Aliquots of PCR products were then applied on nylon membranes and hybridized with specific oligonucleotide probes labeled with digoxigenin. RESULTS: All diseased sites harbored Fusobacterium sp., while Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema sp., and Bacteroides forsythus were detected in more than 96% of 116 diseased sites. Peptostreptococcus micros, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, and Prevotella intermedia were present in 82%, 74%, and 71% of diseased sites, respectively. In sites of periodontally healthy subjects, Fusobacterium sp. was present in the highest proportion (58%). Treponema sp., P. gingivalis, and B. forsythus were detected in 22%, 18%, and 18% of healthy sites, respectively. P. micros, P. intermedia, and A. actinomycetemcomitans were found in 8%, 2%, and 1% of healthy sites, respectively. The prevalence of the periodontopathogens, with the exceptions of Fusobacterium sp. and B. forsythus, was significantly higher in the healthy sites of periodontitis subjects than in the healthy sites of periodontally healthy subjects (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Using highly sensitive methods relying on 16S ribosomal RNA-based oligonucleotide probes, we confirmed the strong association of 7 putative periodontopathogens with AP patients in a Korean population. With the exceptions of Fusobacterium sp. and B. forsythus, all the periodontopathogens were significantly more associated with the healthy sites of periodontitis subjects than in the healthy sites of periodontally healthy subjects.

The histologic spectrum of epidermodysplasia verruciformis.

The classic histologic presentation of epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a verruca plana-type lesion with minimal hyperkeratosis and acanthotic areas where the cells contain perinuclear halos and blue-gray pallor. Whereas these lesions have a high malignant potential, it is important to elucidate the histologic spectrum of this entity and to differentiate it from its mimics. Fifteen skin biopsies from people with multiple cutaneous warts clinically suspicious for epidermodysplasia verruciformis were analyzed both histologically and for human papillomavirus (HPV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by in situ hybridization. Ten of the lesions contained HPV DNA, either type 5 (n = 6), type 8 (n = 3), or type 51 (n = 1). Only three of these lesions showed typical verruca plana. The histologic marker of HPV DNA in the other seven viral-positive cases was rare perinuclear halos in association with an irregular granular layer. The other five cases, which were also negative for viral DNA after polymerase chain reaction in situ hybridization, rarely demonstrated the abrupt variation in keratohyaline granules and concomitant perinuclear halos. The authors conclude that there is a wide spectrum of histologic changes in epidermodysplasia verruciformis and that viral testing in conjunction with the histologic and clinical findings can differentiate this premalignant entity from its mimics.

Ovine interleukin 12 has biological activity on ovine and human activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of two subunits that form the biologically active p70 molecule, and is a potent inducer of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma. In this study the coding sequence for ovine interleukin 12 p35 and p40 subunits was derived by RT-PCR cloning. Ovine p35 and p40 cDNA sequences show a high level of similarity at the nucleic acid and protein levels when compared to corresponding bovine and human sequences. In particular, cysteine residues and N-linked glycosylation sites are conserved between species. Secretion of the IL-12 heterodimer from CHO cells co-transfected with ovine p35 and p40 cDNA was shown by immunoprecipitation of a 60 and 66 kDa protein from transfectant supernatant. In addition, the supernatant from co-transfected cells augmented the proliferation of Con A-activated ovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC). Cross-species activity was shown by the enhancement of proliferation of human phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-activated PBMNC. Supernatants from co-transfectants of hu p35/ov p40 and ov p35/hu p40, to generate chimeric heterodimers, also demonstrated stimulatory activity. Human and chimeric IL-12-induced proliferation of activated PBMNC was inhibited using an anti-human IL-12 polyclonal antibody, however this antibody showed minimal inhibition of ovine IL-12. This study suggests that ovine IL-12 has biological properties similar to its human counterpart. 2000 Academic Press.

The mismatch repair system repairs mismatched base pairs, which are caused by either DNA replication errors, DNA damage, or genetic recombination. Mismatch repair begins with the recognition of mismatched base pairs in DNA by MutS. Protein denaturation and limited proteolysis experiments suggest that Thermus thermophilus MutS can be divided into three structural domains as follows: A (N-terminal domain), B (central domain), and C (C-terminal domain) (Tachiki, H., Kato, R., Masui, R., Hasegawa, K., Itakura, H., Fukuyama, K., and Kuramitsu, S. (1998) Nucleic Acids Res. 26, 4153-4159). To investigate the functions of each domain in detail, truncated genes corresponding to the domains were designed. The gene products were overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified, and assayed for various activities. The MutS-MutS protein interaction site was determined by size-exclusion chromatography to be located in the B domain. The B domain was also found to possess nonspecific double-stranded DNA-binding ability. The C domain, which contains a Walker's A-type nucleotide-binding motif, demonstrated ATPase activity and specific DNA recognition of mismatched base pairs. These ATPase and specific DNA binding activities were found to be dependent upon C domain dimerization.

Hair loss is a problem in modern soceity. Examining the factors of hair growth may shed light on how hair loss might occur. How long can hair grow before it stops growing eventually if it does? Given that the hair growth rate is quite uniform and constant, somewhere between 0.3-0.5 millimeters per day, it's believed that the length of anagen, the growth phase, differs among individuals, and this is the major determinant to the maximum hair length. For some individuals, anagen may last ten years. Of course the length of the anagen is governed by genes, and the genetic background of the individuals. Non-genetic factors such as nutritional condition, weather, seasonal changes (hair may grow a bit faster during winter), taking medications, health condition may of course influence the rate of hair growth as well as hair loss. The shape of the hair, straight or curly, is dependent on the shape of the follicle. A circular or round hair follicle would generate straight hair, while the follicle with oval or elliptical shapes (in its cross-section) would produce a curly hair.
