The Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade is a key growth-signaling pathway, which uncontrolled activation results in transformation. Although the exact mechanisms underlying Raf-1 regulation remain incompletely understood, phosphorylation has been proposed to play a critical role in this regulation. We report here three novel epidermal growth factor-induced in vivo Raf-1 phosphorylation sites that mediate positive feedback Raf-1 regulation. Using mass spectrometry, we identified Raf-1 phosphorylation on three SP motif sites: S289/S296/S301 and confirmed their identity using two-dimensional-phosphopeptide mapping and phosphospecific antibodies. These sites were phosphorylated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1 in vitro, and their phosphorylation in vivo was dependent on endogenous ERK activity. Functionally, ERK-1 expression sustains Raf-1 activation in a manner dependent on Raf-1 phosphorylation on the identified sites, and S289/296/301A substitution markedly decreases the in vivo activity of Raf-1 S259A. Importantly, the ERK-phosphorylated Raf-1 pool has 4 times higher specific kinase activity than total Raf-1, and its phosphopeptide composition is similar to that of the general Raf-1 population, suggesting that the preexisting, phosphorylated Raf-1, representing the activatable Raf-1 pool, is the Raf-1 subpopulation targeted by ERK. Our study describes the identification of new in vivo Raf-1 phosphorylation sites targeted by ERK and provides a novel mechanism for a positive feedback Raf-1 regulation. 相似文献

Background
TP53 mutations are rarely identified in low grade endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium, and their pathogenic significance in such tumors is evidenced by the fact that TP53 aberrations have been associated with reduced recurrence-free survival in this subset of tumors. However, TP53 aberrations may not always represent a driving molecular event in a given endometrial cancer with a mutation. In this case study, the immunophenotype of a distinctive low grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma with an unusual pattern of lymph node metastases is used to explore the possible roles for underlying TP53-related molecular events in its pathogenesis.Case presentation
A low grade endometrioid carcinoma, 9 cm in greatest dimension, with 35% invasion of the myometrial wall thickness, focal lymphovascular invasion, and metastases to 2 of 16 pelvic lymph nodes, was diagnosed in a 52-year-old woman. The endometrial tumor showed a p53-mutation (aberrant)-type immunohistochemical pattern in 40% of the tumor, but the rest of the tumor, as well as the foci of myometrial and lymphovascular invasion, were p53-wild type. Both lymph nodes with metastatic disease showed a distinct biphasic pattern, comprised of both p53-wild type and p53-aberrant areas in tumoral foci that were spatially apposed but not intermixed. Most p53-aberrant areas (at both the lymph nodes and the endometrium) showed a higher mitotic index and increased atypia as compared to the p53-wild type areas; both showed squamous differentiation. The p53-aberrant areas at both locations were also p16-diffusely positive, vimentin-positive, and estrogen/progesterone receptor-positive, whereas the p53-wild type areas showed an identical immunophenotype with the exception of being p16-mosaic positive. All components of the tumor at both the primary and metastatic sites showed loss of MSH2 and MSH6 and retained MLH/PMS2 expression.Conclusions
The presence of p53-mutant and wild-type areas in multiple lymph nodes, coupled with the absence of a p53-aberrant immunophenotype in the myometrium-invasive or lymphovascular-invasive portions of the tumor, argues against the possibility that the TP53 mutation in this tumor is a driving event in its pathogenesis, at least regarding the metastatic process. This case illustrates how routine immunohistochemistry can provide important insights into underlying molecular events in cancers, exemplifies an uncommon co-existence of DNA mismatch repair protein deficiency and p53-aberrant immunophenotype in low-grade endometrioid carcinoma, illustrates morphologic differences between p53-aberrant and p53-wild type areas within in the same tumor, and is an exemplar of the emerging theory that lymph node metastases of endometrial cancer may be comprised of different subclones of the primary tumor.103.

LDL from human apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) transgenic (HuBTg+/+) mice contains more triglyceride than LDL from normolipidemic subjects. To obtain novel monoclonal antibody (MAb) probes of apoB conformation, we generated hybridomas from HuBTg+/+ that had been immunized with LDL isolated from human plasma. One apoE-specific and four anti-apoB-100-specific hybridomas were identified. Two MAbs, 2E1 and 3D11, recognized an epitope in the amino-terminal 689 residues of apoB in native apoB-containing lipoproteins (LpBs) from human plasma or from the supernatant of human hepatoma HepG2 cells, but did not react with LpB from HuBTg+/+ mice or LpB secreted by human apoB-100-transfected rat McArdle 7777 hepatoma cells. 2E1 reacted weakly and 3D11 reacted strongly with apoB from HuBTg+/+ mice after SDS-PAGE. The lack of expression of the 2E1 and 3D11 epitopes on native LpB from HuBTg+/+ mice did not solely reflect the abnormal lipid composition of murine LpB. Both epitopes were detected in all human plasma samples tested and in all human plasma LpB classes. Therefore, human apoB expressed by rodent hepatocytes or hepatoma cells appears to adopt a different conformation or undergoes different posttranslational modification than apoB expressed in human hepatocytes or hepatoma cells. 相似文献

Population-based variations in frequency and distribution of dystrophin gene deletions have been recognized in Duchenne/Becker
(DMD/BMD) muscular dystrophy patients. In the present study, DNA samples from 121 unrelated DMD/BMD patients from North India
were analyzed for deletional studies with multiplex PCR and Southern hybridization. A total of 88 (73%) patients showed intragenic
deletions in the dystrophin gene. The observed proportion of gene deletions is relatively high, particularly compared with
that of Asian counterparts. However, the distribution of breakpoints across the gene does not show significant variations.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) remains the sixth most common malignancy worldwide and survival upon recurrence and/or metastasis remains poor. HNSCC has traditionally been associated with alcohol and nicotine use, but more recently the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has emerged as a favorable prognostic risk factor for oropharyngeal HNSCC. However, further stratification with additional biomarkers to predict patient outcome continues to be essential. One candidate biomarker is the DEK oncogenic protein, which was previously detected in the urine of patients with bladder cancer and is known to be secreted by immune cells such as macrophages. Here, we investigated if DEK could be detected in human plasma and if DEK levels correlated with clinical and pathological variables of HNSCC. Plasma was separated from the peripheral blood of newly diagnosed, untreated HNSCC patients or age-matched normal healthy controls and analyzed for DEK protein using ELISA. Plasma concentrations of DEK protein were lower in p16-negative tumors compared to both normal controls and patients with p16-positive tumors. Patients with lower plasma concentrations of DEK were also more likely to have late stage tumors and a lower white blood cell count. Contrary to previously published work demonstrating a poor prognosis with high intratumoral DEK levels, we show for the first time that decreased concentrations of DEK in patient plasma correlates with poor prognostic factors, including HPV-negative status as determined by negative p16 expression and advanced tumor stage. 相似文献

Selection and genetic drift can create genetic differences between populations. Cytokines and chemokines play an important
role in both hematopoietic development and the inflammatory response. We compared the genotype frequencies of 45 SNPs in 30
cytokine and chemokine genes in two healthy Chinese populations and one Caucasian population. Several SNPs in IL4 had substantial genetic differentiation between the Chinese and Caucasian populations (F
ST ~0.40), and displayed a strikingly different haplotype distribution. To further characterize common genetic variation in
worldwide populations at the IL4 locus, we genotyped 9 SNPs at the IL4 gene in the Human Diversity Panel’s (N = 1056) individuals from 52 world geographic regions. We observed low haplotype diversity, yet strikingly different haplotype
frequencies between non-African populations, which may indicate different selective pressures on the IL4 gene in different parts of the world. SNPs in CSF2, IL6, IL10, CTLA4, and CX3CR1 showed moderate genetic differentiation between the Chinese and Caucasian populations (0.15 < F
ST < 0.25). These results suggest that there is substantial genetic diversity in immune genes and exploration of SNP associations
with immune-related diseases that vary in incidence across these two populations may be warranted. 相似文献

The caprine Insulin like Growth Factor1 (IGF1) gene was analyzed for identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genetic structuring of Indian goat breeds. A panel of 80 samples belonging to nine Indian goat breeds (Capra hircus) including three large sized breeds (Jamunapari, Beetal and Jakhrana); three medium sized breeds (Sirohi, Barbari, and Osmanabadi) and three small sized breeds (Black Bengal, Changthangi, and Gaddi) were screened for SNP identification and diversity analysis. The comparative gene sequence analysis of all the nine goat breeds studied revealed a total of 18 SNPs in IGF1 gene. All the nucleotide changes were found to be synonymous. The mean observed heterozygosity was found to be maximum (0.074) in Sirohi, Beetal, Osmanabadi, and Gaddi breeds of goat, whereas it is found to be minimum (0.019) in Black Bengal breed of goat. The rest of the breeds were intermediate in terms of heterozygosity. The same has been confirmed by allele frequency distribution across the studied loci. Barbari and Gaddi were found to be more differentiated (0.0123), Changthangi and Jamunapari were least differentiated (0.00110) based on Nei's genetic distance. 相似文献
