Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in investigating whether disordered proteins can be targeted for clinical purposes using small molecules [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. While small-molecule binding to disordered proteins can be seen as unorthodox, examples of this phenomenon have been reported. In order to rationalize these observations, a variety of models are emerging, sometimes in apparent contradiction. Here, we offer a structural ensemble modulation” view as an attempt to clarify the language, organize concepts, and facilitate the comparison of different studies. In doing so, we hope to promote the understanding of the general principles underlying this phenomenon toward the development of novel therapeutic compounds targeting disordered proteins, which are prevalent in a wide range of human diseases [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].  相似文献

The genus ErulipusFairmaire, 1903 (previously in the subfamily Tenebrioninae, tribe Helopini), after the study of the type species (Erulipus fruhstorferiFairmaire, 1903), is transferred to the genus AinuLewis, 1894 (subfamily Stenochiinae, the tribe Cnodalonini) as a subgenus. Consequently, two new combinations are established: Ainu (Erulipus) fruhstorferi (Fairmaire, 1903), comb. nov. and Ainu (s. str.) multicolor (Pic, 1927), comb. nov. The syntypes of Erulipus fruhstorferi and Erulipus multicolorPic, 1927 are studied and the new synonym is proposed: Erulipus fruhstorferi?=?Ainu grandisRen and Yuan, 2005, syn. nov.

BACKGROUND: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) can characterize perfusion and vascularization of tissues. DCE MRI parameters can differentiate between malignant and benign lesions and predict tumor grading. The purpose of this study was to correlate DCE MRI findings and various histopathological parameters in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients with histologically proven HNSCC (11 cases primary tumors and in 5 patients with local tumor recurrence) were included in the study. DCE imaging was performed in all cases and the following parameters were estimated: Ktrans, Ve, Kep, and iAUC. The tumor proliferation index was estimated on Ki 67 antigen stained specimens. Microvessel density parameters (stained vessel area, total vessel area, number of vessels, and mean vessel diameter) were estimated on CD31 antigen stained specimens. Spearman''s non-parametric rank sum correlation coefficients were calculated between DCE and different histopathological parameters. RESULTS: The mean values of DCE perfusion parameters were as follows: Ktrans 0.189 ± 0.056 min−1, Kep 0.390 ± 0.160 min−1, Ve 0.548 ± 0.119%, and iAUC 22.40 ± 12.57. Significant correlations were observed between Kep and stained vessel areas (r = 0.51, P = .041) and total vessel areas (r = 0.5118, P = .043); between Ve and mean vessel diameter (r = −0.59, P = .017). Cell count had a tendency to correlate with Ve (r = −0.48, P = .058). In an analysis of the primary HNSCC only, a significant inverse correlation between Ktrans and KI 67 was identified (r = −0.62, P = .041). Our analysis showed significant correlations between DCE parameters and histopathological findings in HNSCC.Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) has been reported as a technique which is able to characterize perfusion and vascularization of tissues [1], [2]. It has been shown that DCE MRI can be helpful to differentiate between malignant and benign lesions [1]. For example, Yuan et al. reported that lung cancer had a larger volume transfer constant (Ktrans) and a lower volume of the extravascular extracellular leakage space (Ve) in comparison to benign lesions [3]. Similar results were reported by Li et al. for breast lesions [4]. Furthermore, according to Cho et al., DCE MRI parameters can be used to distinguish prostatic cancer from benign changes [5]. Moreover, DCE MRI parameters can also predict tumor grading. As reported previously, Ktrans correlated well with Gleason score in prostatic cancer [5], [6]. According to other reports, Ktrans and Ve correlated with glioma grade [7], [8].DCE MRI parameters were also associated with prognosis in several malignancies [9], [10]. Koo et al. showed that breast cancers with higher Ktrans or lower Ve had poor prognostic factors and were often of the triple-negative subtype [10].According to the literature, DCE MRI parameters can predict response to therapy in different tumors. For instance, some authors mentioned that low pretreatment Ktrans in regional lymph node metastases in head and neck cancer was associated with a poor response to concurrent chemoradiation therapy [11].Furthermore, Andersen et al. showed that DCE MR parameters obtained prior to chemoradiotherapy predicted survival of patients with cervical cancer [12].Presumably, DCE MRI parameters may be based on tissue composition, such as cellularity and vascular density. However, in this regard there are contradictory data in the literature. While some studies identified significant correlations between DCE MRI and histopathological parameters, others did not [13], [14], [15], [16].The purpose of this study was to correlate DCE MRI findings and various histopathological parameters in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Contradicting results have been demonstrated for the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a prognostic marker in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The complexity of the EGF system with four interacting receptors and more than a dozen activating ligands is a likely explanation. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the combined network of receptors and ligands from the EGF system is a prognostic marker. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Gene expression of the receptors EGFR, HER2, HER3, HER4, and the ligands AREG, HB-EGF, EPI, TGF-α, and EGF was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in tumor samples from 100 NSCLC patients without EGFR activating mutations. Results were dichotomized into high or low levels of target expression. Coexpression of the ligands and receptors was observed, and a score was developed based on the summed effect of receptors and ligands. Akaike’s information criteria selected the optimal score. Results were correlated with age, sex, stage, histology, performance status, and overall survival. RESULTS: Patients were randomly split 1:1 to create test and validation cohorts. In multivariate analyses, the only individual prognostic marker was EPI (hazard ratio [HR] 0.38 [0.20-0.72], P = .003). The optimal score in the test cohort was validated as a marker of inferior survival in the validation cohort and by bootstrapping. Multivariate analysis confirmed the combined score as a prognostic marker of inferior survival (HR 3.75 [2.17-6.47], P < .00001). CONCLUSION: Our study has developed a model that takes the complexity of the EGF system into account and shows that this model is a strong prognostic marker in NSCLC patients.Despite advances in the treatment, non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world [1]. In particular, the overall prognosis is poor for the metastatic stages, with a median overall survival (OS) of only 8 to 10 months. Even in the early nonmetastatic stages, the 5-year survival rate is as low as 50% [2], [3]. Prognostic markers are needed to stratify patients with different risk outcome. Several biomarkers have been evaluated in NSCLC, but only a few have proven to be clinically relevant. An activating mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is both a well-described predictive marker of benefit of EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors but also a debated prognostic marker of better OS [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. As EGFR expression has been associated with OS in head and neck, colorectal, and esophagus cancer [10], [11], [12], attention has been directed toward the use of EGFR expression as a prognostic marker in NSCLC, but contradicting results have been demonstrated [13], [14], [15], [16]. The EGF system is complex, and the effect of ligand-receptor interaction depends on a variety of different factors, which provides a plausible explanation for the divergence observed between studies that only evaluate EGFR expression in general. EGFR is one out of four related receptors from the EGF system and is capable of forming homodimers or heterodimers with one of the three other receptors when activated by a ligand. Several ligands from the EGF system such as amphiregulin (AREG), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor–α (TGF-α) only activate EGFR, whereas some have the ability to activate several combinations of the four EGF receptors like heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), epiregulin (EPI), and betacellulin (BCL). Most knowledge on the role of the ligands in NSCLC is from in vitro studies or from smaller clinical studies. In vitro studies have suggested that the biological effect of EGFR activation is dependent on the specific activating ligand as well as the dimerization partner [17]. Yet, no clinical studies have evaluated the effect of the network of receptors and ligands influencing EGFR in NSCLC. Furthermore, the majority of the clinical studies exploring EGFR expression are based on immunohistochemistry which is a semiquantitative method with a great risk of interobserver variability. Quantitative gene expression analyses provide a more accurate measure and are therefore more suitable for studies comparing expression levels. Prospectively, we have collected fresh tumor samples from patients suspected of lung cancer. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gene expression of the network of receptors and ligands of the EGF system affecting EGFR as a prognostic markers in NSCLC.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Identification of high-grade meningiomas in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important for optimized surgical strategy and best possible resection. Numerous studies investigated subjectively determined morphological features as predictors of tumor biology in meningiomas. The aim of this study was to identify the predictive value of more reliable, quantitatively measured signal intensities in MRI for differentiation of high- and low-grade meningiomas and identification of meningiomas with high proliferation rates, respectively. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-six patients (56 World Health Organization [WHO] grade I, 9 WHO grade II, and 1 WHO grade I) were included in the study. Preoperative MRI signal intensities (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR], T1 precontrast, and T1 postcontrast as genuine and normalized values) were correlated with Ki-67 expression in tissue sections of resected meningiomas. Differences between the groups (analysis of variance) and Spearman rho correlation were computed using SPSS 22. RESULTS: Mean values of genuine signal intensities of meningiomas in FLAIR, T1 native, and T1 postcontrast were 323.9 ± 59, 332.8 ± 67.9, and 768.5 ± 165.3. Mean values of normalized (to the contralateral white matter) signal intensities of meningiomas in FLAIR, T1 native, and T1 postcontrast were 1.5 ± 0.3, 0.8 ± 0.1, and 1.9 ± 0.4. There was no significant correlation between MRI signal intensities and WHO grade or Ki-67 expression. Signal intensities did not differ significantly between WHO grade I and II/III meningiomas. Ki-67 expression was significantly increased in high-grade meningiomas compared with low-grade meningiomas (P < 0.01). Objectively measured values of MRI signal intensities (FLAIR, T1 precontrast, and T1 postcontrast enhancement) did not distinguish between high-grade and low-grade meningiomas. Furthermore, there was no association between MRI signal intensities and Ki-67 expression representing proliferative activity.Meningiomas are among the most common brain tumors. Their incidence is about 1%, and they account for almost one third of all primary intracranial masses. The majority of meningiomas are very slowly growing and nonsymptomatic or minimally symptomatic entities, discovered as incidental findings on neuroimaging [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification system distinguishes 3 histological grades and 15 subtypes and is a well-accepted tool for prediction of prognosis. Although most meningiomas are benign masses, certain histological subtypes reveal very high recurrence rates despite the tumors’ seemingly total removal. Grade II (atypical) and grade III (anaplastic) meningiomas are associated with an increased risk of recurrence, are more aggressive, and show invasive behavior [2]. Grade I meningiomas are generally considered as benign tumors, but recent studies indicate substantial neurological deficits and impaired long-term survival due to tumor recurrence and stroke despite their low histopathological grading in a considerable proportion of cases [3], [4]. Increased mitotic activity (more than 4 mitoses per 10 high-power fields) and elevated Ki-67 expression (Ki-67 index of more than 5% of nuclei) are reliable histopathological markers for tumor recurrence [2].Because histopathological grading alone does not predict outcome satisfyingly, numerous studies investigated the value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prognostics. For example, Liu et al. demonstrated that hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, heterogeneous gadolinium enhancement, disruption of the arachnoid at brain tumor interface, T2 hyperintense peritumoral edema, and irregular tumor shape were independent predictors of non–grade I meningioma [5]. Other works produced comparable results, although some of these studies underline the importance of positive capsular enhancement [6], [7], whereas others emphasize the predictive value of peritumoral edema [5], [8]. All the above-cited works investigated morphological features of meningiomas summarized in subjective scoring systems, but not one of the studies objectively analyzed values of SIs in commonly used preoperative MRI sequences.Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of genuine and normalized SIs of standardized preoperative MRI (T1 pre- and postcontrast, T2, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR]) as in vivo predictors of proliferative activity of meningiomas.  相似文献

Nosema pulvisPerez, 1905, Ameson pulvis (Perez) Sprague, 1977, in muscles of the crabs Carcinus maenas and C. mediterraneus from the coast of France, was observed with the electron microscope. It was found to be structurally similar to the type species A. michaelis (Sprague, 1970). Sprague, 1977, having moniliform sporogonial plasmodia, unikaryotic sporoblasts, and hirsute sporulation stages. It is treated as distinct from A. michaelis because it has slightly smaller spores (by comparison with syntype material of A. michaelis) and appears to have fewer coils in the polar filament. The results require the removal of the genus Ameson from the family Nosematidae Labbé, 1899, where Sprague (1977) had placed it under the erroneous supposition that its sporoblasts are diplokaryotic. Ameson is transferred to family Unikaryonidae Sprague, 1977. Ameson is distinguished from PereziaLéger and Duboscq, 1909, shown by Ormieres et al. to have a similar developmental pattern, by presence of appendages on its sporulation stage. A. nelsoni (Sprague, 1950), the third, and only other species of Ameson, lacks the appendages and is transferred to genus Perezia.  相似文献

Rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are chronic inflammatory diseases, with massive increase of cardiovascular events (CVE), and contribution of the cytokines TNF-α and IL-17. Chronic inflammation inside the joint membrane or synovium results from the activation of fibroblasts/synoviocytes, and leads to the release of cytokines from monocytes (Tumor Necrosis Factor or TNF) and from T lymphocytes (Interleukin-17 or IL-17). At the systemic level, the very same cytokines affect endothelial cells and vessel wall. We have previously shown [1], [2] that IL-17 and TNF-α, specifically when combined, increase procoagulation, decrease anticoagulation and increase platelet aggregation, leading to thrombosis. These results are the basis for the models of interactions between IL-17 and TNF, and genes expressed by activated endothelial cells. This work is devoted to mathematical modeling and numerical simulations of blood coagulation and clot growth under the influence of IL-17 and TNF-α. We show that they can provoke thrombosis, leading to the complete or partial occlusion of blood vessels. The regimes of blood coagulation and conditions of occlusion are investigated in numerical simulations and in approximate analytical models. The results of mathematical modeling allow us to predict thrombosis development for an individual patient.  相似文献

Price's (1970) covariance theorem can be used to derive an expression for gene frequency change in kin selection models in which the fitness effect of an act is independent of the genotype of the recipient. This expression defines a coefficient of relatedness which subsumes r(Wright, 1922), b(Hamilton, 1972), ρ (Orlove &; Wood, 1978), and R(Michod &; Hamilton, 1980). The new coefficient extends the domain of Hamilton's rule to models in which the average gene frequency of actors differs from that of recipients.  相似文献

Trehalose-6-phosphate (T-6-P) synthetase activity in extracts of Dictyostelium discoideum has been reexamined in an effort to resolve discrepancies between the results of previous studies (R. Roth and M. Sussman (1966). Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 122, 225; K. A. Killick and B. E. Wright (1972). J. Biol. Chem., 247, 2967). We find that T-6-P synthetase is not cold sensitive as reported by Killick and Wright (1972), is not present in bacterial-grown vegetative cells (though subject to some modulation by other nutritional conditions), and is not in our hands unmasked or activated by ammonium sulfate fractionation. We conclude that the pattern of T-6-P synthetase accumulation and disappearance during fruiting body construction in D. discoideum is as originally described by R. Roth and M. Sussman (1968). J. Biol. Chem., 243, 5081) and confirmed elsewhere (P. C. Newell et al. (1972). J. Mol. Biol., 63, 373; R. W. Brackenbury et al. (1974). J. Mol. Biol., 90, 529; B. D. Hames and J. M. Ashworth (1974).

The femur of the anchisaurid (= plateosaurid) prosauropoddinosaur Euskelosaurus browniiHuxley, 1866 from the lower Elliot Formation (Upper Triassic) of South Africa is sigmoidal in posterior view with the fourth trochanter well removed from the medial edge. The sympatric Melanorosaurus readiHaughton, 1924 is not a junior synonym of Euskelosaurus brownii because the femur is straight in posterior view with the fourth trochanter close to the medial edge. In addition to Melanorosaurus, the Melanorosauridae Huene, 1929 includes Camelotia borealis nov. gen. and nov. sp. from the Upper Triassic of England, Riojasaurus incertusBonaparte, 1969 from the Upper Triassic of Argentina, and possibly some of the posteranial material referred to the? rauisuchian the codontian Sinosaurus triassicusYoung, 1948 from the Lower Jurassic of China.  相似文献

During recent years, numerous attempts have been made to correlate both quantitative (Davies &; Taylor, 1959; Engen, 1962; Beck, 1964; Engen, Cain &; Rovee, 1968; Cain, 1969; Dravnieks &; Laffoit, 1970; Laffort, 1969a,b) and qualitative (Davies, 1965; Amoore &; Venstrom, 1965; Döving, 1966a,b; Wright &; Michels, 1964; Leveteau &; MacLeod, 1969) odorous properties of single compounds to their molecular properties. These attempts have been only partially successful.In the present paper we will try to explain the several odorous properties of single compounds on the basis of the non-specific properties of odorants involved in solubility.This model is a first approach, and although it gives statistically highly significant relations, it is not as accurate as those advanced with respect to the physical and sensory dimensions of stimuli in the fields of vision and audition.We will first give the present definitions of the most suitable physicochemical parameters, and then advance quantitative and qualitative models for single compounds. Quantitative odorous properties are: odour threshold, rate of change of odour intensity with odorant concentration in the suprathreshold region, and the somewhat controversial upper odour intensity. Qualitative properties refer to odour character.  相似文献
