Differences between the pathogenic processes induced by Steinernema and Heterorhabditis (Nemata: Rhabditida) in Pseudaletia unipuncta (Insecta: Lepidoptera).
Rosa JS, Cabral C, Simoes N.
CIRN and Departamento de Biologia, Universidade dos Acores, 9501-801 Ponta Delgada, Acores, Portugal.
Larvae of Pseudaletia unipuncta are moderately susceptible to infections caused by entomopathogenic nematodes, being a desirable host to study pathogenic processes caused by Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema carpocapsae, and Steinernema glaseri and their associated bacteria. The ability of the infective stage of these nematodes to invade hosts is quite different. S. carpocapsae invades the highest number of insects and presents the highest penetration rate, followed by H. bacteriophora. Regression analysis between the number of insects parasitized and the number of IJs counted per insect, over time, showed a high correlation for S. carpocapsae whereas for H. bacteriophora it was low. Dose-response was most evident at a concentration below 100 IJs per insect on H. bacteriophora, whereas on S. carpocapsae it was found for doses ranging from 100 to 2,000 IJs. Student's t test analysis of dose-response showed parallel, yet unequal, slopes for both strains of H. bacteriophora, whereas distinct regressions were obtained for S. carpocapsae and S. glaseri, thus, evidencing each species develop a distinct pathogenic process. Insects injected with Photorhabdus luminescens died within 50 h after injection, whereas those treated with X. nematophila died much later. Moreover, the mortality in insects exposed to H. bacteriophora complex and injected with P. luminescens was close, but insects injected with bacteria died faster. Insect mortality in treatments with complexes S. carpocapsae and S. glaseri was significantly higher than that which was observed in insects injected with symbiotic bacteria.

Characterization of IS999, an unstable genetic element in Mycobacterium avium.
Laurent JP, Faske S, Cangelosi GA.
Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, 4 Nickerson Street, Seattle, WA 98109, USA.
An IS3-family insertion element, IS999, was identified in the opportunistic pathogen Mycobacterium avium. The 1347 bp element has 29 bp inverted repeats and two overlapping open reading frames coding for putative transposases. It was detected in the genomes of ten of 12 M. avium isolates examined. Copy numbers ranged from four to 16. IS999 is less stable than IS1245, the most commonly-used marker for typing M. avium isolates. Among 60 colonies picked from a single patient isolate, there were two distinct IS1245 restriction fragment length polymorphism banding patterns compared to eight distinct IS999 patterns (five in one IS1245 group and three in the other). In view of its instability, we asked whether transposition of IS999 might have phenotypic consequences. Nucleotide sequence analysis of insertion sites in four isolates revealed 16 putative structural genes that were variably disrupted by IS999. Insertions into hdhA, a gene that codes for a putative short chain alcohol dehydrogenase, were distributed non-randomly between colony type variants, consistent with phenotypic consequences that exert selective pressure. These observations illustrate the genetic heterogeneity that can exist within populations of M. avium that appear to be homogeneous by IS1245 analysis. IS999 may be a useful marker for tracking, at the sub-strain level, the rapid genetic drift that M. avium isolates undergo in nature and in the laboratory.

Lack of association of TNF-238A and -308A in Japanese patients with psoriasis vulgaris, psoriatic arthritis and generalized pustular psoriasis.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is one of the proinflammatory cytokines and immunomodulators, and has an important pathogenetic role in psoriasis. The TNF-alpha gene (TNFA) is in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class III locus on chromosome 6, which might be related to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. It has been suggested that some polymorphisms of the TNFA gene promoter, especially G to A conversions at nt-238 and -308 (TNF-238A and -308A), may be associated with psoriasis in Caucasians. We investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TNFA gene promoter in Japanese psoriasis patients, including 18 with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV), 11 with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), two with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), and six with GPP with arthritis. The DNA fragment of the TNFA gene from nt-400 to -69 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the products were sequenced. Although TNF-238A and other polymorphisms were not found in PsV and psoriatic arthritis patients, one male patient with GPP and PsA had TNF-308A. This suggests that TNFA gene promoter polymorphism in the region examined is less associated with the pathogenesis of psoriasis in Japanese patients, however there might be the possibility that TNFA gene promoter polymorphism is associated with GPP. Further investigation will be required to prove this.

Toll and interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing proteins in plants: a genomic perspective.
Jebanathirajah JA, Peri S, Pandey A.
Dept of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Toll and interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains were originally described from comparisons of proteins found in mammals and Drosophila. They are now known to occur in several organisms, with the most TIR proteins being found in ARABIDOPSIS: our analysis of the sequenced Arabidopsis genome has revealed the presence of at least 135 proteins containing TIR domains. Several novel types of TIR-domain-containing proteins are found in Arabidopsis that are not found in other genomes. Here, we discuss the roles of TIR-domain-containing proteins in pathogen resistance and as candidate signaling modules.

Alternative splicing of transcripts encoding Toll-like plant resistance proteins - what's the functional relevance to innate immunity?
Jordan T, Schornack S, Lahaye T.
Institute of Genetics, Martin-Luther-Universitat, Halle-Wittenberg, 06099 Halle, Saale, Germany.
Innate immunity in plants and animals shares many structural and functional homologies, which suggests an ancient origin of cellular defense mechanisms in both kingdoms. Pathogen sensing in animal innate immunity is mediated by Toll-like receptors (TLRs). These receptors have TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains and leucine-rich repeats, which are modules also present in many plant resistance (R) proteins. Molecular analysis of transcripts encoding animal TLRs and Toll-like plant R proteins revealed many cases of alternative splicing. Recent studies of the tobacco N and the Arabidopsis RPS4 genes, both encoding Toll-like plant R proteins, showed that intron-deprived genes have reduced or no activity, suggesting that alternative splicing is a crucial component in these signaling pathways.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.
Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.
