Minimal DNA sequences that control the cell lineage-specific expression of the pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter in transgenic mice

The pattern of expression of the pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen gene is highly tissue-specific in adult mice and shows its strongest expression in bones, tendons, and skin. Transgenic mice were generated harboring promoter fragments of the mouse pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen gene linked to the Escherichia coli $\beta$-galactosidase or firefly luciferase genes to examine the activity of these promoters during development. A region of the mouse pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter between $-$2000 and +54 exhibited a pattern of $\beta$-galactosidase activity during embryonic development that corresponded to the expression pattern of the endogenous pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen gene as determined by in situ hybridization. A similar pattern of activity was also observed with much smaller promoter fragments containing either 500 or 350 bp of upstream sequence relative to the start of transcription. Embryonic regions expressing high levels of $\beta$-galactosidase activity included the valves of the developing heart, sclerotomes, meninges, limb buds, connective tissue fascia between muscle fibers, osteoblasts, tendon, periosteum, dermis, and peritoneal membranes. The pattern of $\beta$-galactosidase activity was similar to the extracellular immunohistochemical localization of transforming growth factor-$\beta$1 (TGF-$\beta$1). The $-$315 to $-$284 region of the pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter was previously shown to mediate the stimulatory effects of TGF-$\beta$1 on the pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter in DNA transfection experiments with cultured fibroblasts. A construct containing this sequence tandemly repeated 5$\sp\prime$ to both a very short $\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter ($-$40 to +54) and a heterologous minimal promoter showed preferential activity in tail and skin of 4-week old transgenic mice. The pattern of expression mimics that of the $-$350 to +54 pro$\alpha$2(I) collagen promoter linked to a luciferase reporter gene in transgenic mice. ^

Retinoid -induced regression of human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas is associated with the induction of a pro -inflammatory response

Retinoids are Vitamin A derivatives that are effective chemopreventative and chemotherapeutic agents for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Despite the wide application of retinoids in cancer treatment, the mechanism by which retinoids inhibit head and neck squamous cell carcinomas is not completely understood. While in vitro models show that drugs affect cell proliferation and differentiation, in vivo models, such as tumor xenografts in nude mice drugs affect more complex parameters such as extracellular matrix formation, angiogenesis and inflammation. Therefore, we studied the effects of retinoids on the growth of the 22B HNSCC tumors using a xenograft model. In this system, retinoids had no effect on tumor cell differentiation but caused invasion of the tumor by inflammatory cells. Retinoid induced inflammation lead to tumor cell death and tumor regression. Therefore, we hypothesized that retinoids stimulated the 22B HNSCC xenografts to produce a pro-inflammatory signal such as chemokines that in turn activated host inflammatory responses. ^ We used real time quantitative RT-PCR to measure cytokine and chemokine expression in retinoid treated tumors. Treatment of tumors with an RAR-specific retinoid, LGD1550, had no effect on the expression of TNFα, IL-1α, GROα, IP-10, Rantes, MCP-1 and MIP-1α but induced IL-8 mRNA 5-fold. We further characterized the retinoid effect on IL-8 expression on the 22B HNSCC and 1483 HNSCC cells in vitro. Retinoids increased IL-8 expression and enhanced TNFα-dependent IL-8 induction. In addition, retinoids increased the basal and TNFα-dependent expression of MCP-1 but decreased the basal and TNFα dependent expression of IP-10. The effect of retinoids on IL-8 and MCP-1 expression was very rapid with increased levels of mRNA detected within 1–2 hours. This effect did not require new protein synthesis and did not result from mRNA stabilization. Both RAR and RXR ligands increased IL-8 expression whereas only RAR ligands activated MCP-1 expression. ^ We identified a functional retinoid response element in the IL-8 promoter that was located adjacent to the C/EBP-NFkB response element. TNFα treatment of the 22B cells caused rapid, transient and selective acetylation of regions of the IL-8 promoter associated with the NFkB response element. Co-treatment of the cells with retinoids plus TNF increased the acetylation of chromatin in this region without altering the kinetics of acetylation. These results demonstrate that ligand activated retinoid receptors can cooperate with NFkB in histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling. We believe that in certain HNSCC tumors this cooperation and the resulting enhancement of IL-8 expression can induce an inflammatory response that leads to tumor regression. We believe that the induction of inflammation in susceptible tumors, possibly coupled with cytotoxic interventions may be an important component in the use of retinoids to treat human squamous cancers. ^

Consideraciones en torno a la Apología Pro Vita Sua, del cardenal John Henry Newman

Este trabajo consiste en un estudio de la Apologia Pro Vita Sua del Cardenal John Henry Newman desde la perspectiva del discurso autobiográfico. El propósito principal de este trabajo es insistir tanto sobre los rasgos específicos del género como sobre las fuentes que operan en su construcción. En este sentido se puede proponer que la autobiografía del Cardenal Newman sugiere un cierto tipo discursivo con respecto al género en el que se inscribe, marcadamente apoyado en el estilo apologético de la Confessio Agustiniana.
