The oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been implicated as a pro-atherogenic process in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Macrophages rapidly take up oxidized LDL via scavenger-receptor-mediated pathways and thereby develop into lipid-laden foam cells. The uptake mechanism has been studied extensively and several types of scavenger receptors have been identified. In contrast, the intracellular fate of oxidized LDL lipids is less well investigated. We studied the degradation of specifically oxidized cholesteryl esters by murine macrophages using an HPLC-based assay, and found that oxidized substrates are hydrolysed preferentially from a 1:1 molar mixture of oxidized and non-oxidized cholesteryl esters. This effect was observed at both neutral and acidic pH. Similar results were obtained with lysates of human monocytes and with pure recombinant human hormone-sensitive lipase. These data suggest that the intracellular oxidation of cholesteryl esters may facilitate intracellular cholesteryl ester hydrolysis, and thus may represent an anti-atherogenic process.

Neutrophil-mediated degradation of lung proteoglycans: stimulation by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in sputum of patients with bronchiectasis.

Neutrophil-mediated degradation of bronchial matrix has been proposed as a pathogenetic factor in bronchiectasis. We hypothesize that neutrophils, found in abundance in the bronchial lumens of patients with bronchiectasis, are capable of degrading lung matrix proteoglycans and that proinflammatory mediators in bronchial secretions of these patients can enhance the degradative action of neutrophils. We used rat bronchoalveolar proteoglycans entrapped in polyacrylamide gel beads as a substrate for test incubations with neutrophils from healthy volunteers and sputum sol from patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis. Coincubations with specimens of sputum sol and neutrophils showed proteoglycan degradation indices (PDIs) in excess of the sum of indices due to incubation with either heat-inactivated sputum sol or heat-inactivated neutrophils, suggesting sputum stimulation of the neutrophil response. Mediation of this stimulation by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha was suggested because (1) indices for the coincubations correlated with sputum levels of TNF-alpha and (2) an anti-TNF-alpha antibody completely attenuated the sputum-stimulated effect. Furthermore, recombinant human TNF-alpha required accompanying sputum sol to exert an enhancing effect on neutrophil-mediated proteoglycan degradation. Because neutrophil-mediated proteoglycan degradation in the coincubations was inhibited largely (90%) by Eglin C and much less so (8% to 20%) by ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, we conclude that serine proteases secreted by neutrophils were mainly responsible for degradation of proteoglycans in the model matrix and that the secretion was stimulated by TNF-alpha in the presence of cofactors in the bronchial secretions of patients with bronchiectasis.

[Two cases of Trichophyton mentagrophytes infection contracted from a hamster and a chinchilla]

We report two cases of Trichophyton mentagrophytes infection. Case 1: A 10-year-old girl visited Tokyo Electric Power Hospital in June 1994 for evaluation of an erythematous lesion on her head. Three months of topical steroid therapy exacerbated the lesion with pustular formation. Histopathological and mycological examination revealed that the patient had tinea capitis caused by T. mentagrophytes. T. mentagrophytes was also isolated from her pet, a hamster. Case 2: A-14-year-old girl was referred to Shonan Clinic in January 1996 with scaly erythema on her face. She had been treated with neticonazole hydrochloride at another clinic, but the lesion became worse. Direct microscopic examination of the scale was negative at that time, so treatment with topical steroid was started. After 10 days, the lesion was almost cured, but one month later it recurred with an annular distribution. KOH preparation of the scale revealed mycelia and T. mentagrophytes was isolated on culture. T. mentagrophytes was also isolated from her pet, a chinchilla. In both cases, the oral administration of itraconazole at 50 mg/day was effective. The isolated pathogen was identified as Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii with species-specific primers of chitin synthase 1 gene. T. mentagrophytes is one of the most common dermatophytes isolated from man and animals. Rodents like the hamster and the chinchilla have recently become popular as pets in Japan. We should be aware that rodents may carry this kind of fungal pathogen as they become even more popular as pets.

The epsilon4 genotype of apolipoprotein E (apoE4) is the most established predisposing factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, it remains unclear how apoE4 contributes to the pathophysiology. Here, we report that the apoE4 protein (ApoE4) evokes apoptosis in neuronal cells through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) and heterotrimeric GTPases. We examined neuron/neuroblastoma hybrid F11 cells and found that these cells were killed by 30 microg/ml ApoE4, but not by 30 microg/ml ApoE3. ApoE4-induced death occurred with typical features for apoptosis in time- and dose-dependent manners, and was observed in SH-SY5Y neuroblastomas, but not in glioblastomas or non-neuronal Chinese hamster ovary cells. Activated, but not native, alpha2-macroglobulin suppressed this ApoE4 toxicity. Suppression by the antisense oligonucleotide to LRP and inhibition by low nanomolar concentrations of LRP-associated protein RAP provided evidence for the involvement of LRP. The involvement of heterotrimeric GTPases was demonstrated by the findings that (1) ApoE4-induced death was suppressed by pertussis toxin (PTX), but not by heat-inactivated PTX; and (2) transfection with PTX-resistant mutant cDNAs of Galpha(i) restored the toxicity of ApoE4 restricted by PTX. We thus conclude that one of the neurotoxic mechanisms triggered by ApoE4 is to activate a cell type-specific apoptogenic program involving LRP and the G(i) class of GTPases and that the apoE4 gene may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of AD and other forms of dementia.

Gene amplification is an important mechanism of oncogene activation in various human cancers, including ovarian carcinomas (OvCas). We used restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS) to detect amplified DNA fragments in the genomes of 47 primary OvCas. Visual analysis of the RLGS gel images revealed several OvCa samples with spots of greater intensity than corresponding spots from normal tissues, indicating possible DNA amplification in specific tumors. Two primary tumors (E1 and S12) shared four high-intensity spots. A recently developed informatics tool termed Virtual Genome Scans was used to compare the RLGS patterns in these tumors with patterns predicted from the human genome sequence. Virtual Genome Scans determined that three of the four fragments localized to chromosome 1p34-35, a region containing the proto-oncogene L-MYC. Sixty-eight primary OvCas, including 40 analyzed by RLGS, were screened by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for possible amplification of L-MYC. Ten tumors with increased L-MYC copy number were identified, including tumor E1, which showed an approximately 24-fold increase in copy number compared to normal DNA. Southern analysis of several tumors confirmed the quantitative PCR results. Using sequence tagged site (STS) markers flanking L-MYC, increased DNA copy number in tumor E1 was found to span the region flanking L-MYC between D1S432 and D1S463 ( approximately 3.1 Mb). Other tumors showed amplification only at the L-MYC locus. Using oligonucleotide microarrays, L-MYC was found to be more frequently overexpressed in OvCas than either c-MYC or N-MYC relative to ovarian surface epithelium. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR analysis confirmed elevated L-MYC expression in a substantial fraction of OvCas, including nine of nine tumors with increased L-MYC copy number. The data implicate L-MYC gene amplification and/or overexpression in human OvCa pathogenesis.

Concerned about losing hair? Hair loss and baldness is indeed a visible problem, and could be more than just the matter of change in appearance.
Saw palmetto berry is a widely known herbal supplement for hair loss problems. However, there are a number of great anecdotal herbs that people used for thousands of years stop hair loss and start hair growth. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it diligently. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs actually stop hair loss, and promote hair growth, No scientific research or placebo controlled clinical trials have been conducted. Nonetheless, a number of people agree that it works.
