Characterization and mechanism of action of suppressor factors derived from human T cell hybridomas

This laboratory developed human T-cell hybridomas which constitutively secrete suppressor factors (SF) capable of inhibiting immune responses (Hybridoma 6:589 (1987). The mechanisms by which human T-cell hybridoma-derived SFs (designated 160 and 169) and Jurkat leukemic T-cell line derived SF inhibit the proliferative response to mitogen by human PBMC were investigated. The Jurkat SF had a pI of 5.2 whereas the 160 and 169 SF had pI of 5.7 and 4.7 (two peaks) and 4.7, respectively. The SF was not transforming growth factor-beta based upon neutralization and iummunoprecipitation experiments with anti-TGF-beta polyclonal antibody. Il-2 production by human PBMC cultured with Con A or OKT3 mAb in the presence of SF was found to be inhibited by greater than 80%. The proliferative responses of SF treated PBMC could not be restored by addition of exogeneous human IL-2. Inhibition of the proliferative responses could not be reversed by addition of exogenous rIL-1, rIL-2 or rIL-4 alone or in paired combinations. The expression of IL-2 receptors (TAC Ag) on Con A activated cultures time points was not affected by treatment with any SFs. Both the 160 and 169 hybridoma-derived SFs were found to arrest PHA induced cell cycle progression in G$\sb0$/G$\sb1$ phase, whereas SF from the Jurkat T-cell line arrested progression in the S phase. Pretreatment of PBMC with SF prior to the addition of mitogen, followed by washing, did not alter the proliferative response of these PBMC nor their cell cycle progression suggesting that cell activation is necessary for these SF to inhibit proliferative responses. Northern blot analysis of total mRNA from mitogen stimulated PBMC in the presence of SF, revealed a time dependent accumulation of an IL-2 specific mRNA of increased size (2.8 kB) in addition to the expected 1.0 kB mature IL-2 message. Interferon-gamma mRNA was of the appropriate size but its half-life was prolonged in SF treated cultures. IL-2 receptor and IL-1 beta mRNA expression was not altered in these cells. ^

Citric acid cycle flux and pressure-volume work in the isolated working rat heart

It has been demonstrated previously that the mammalian heart cannot sustain physiologic levels of pressure-volume work if ketone bodies are the only substrates for respiration. In order to determine the metabolic derangement responsible for contractile failure in hearts utilizing ketone bodies, rat hearts were prefused at a near-physiologic workload in a working heart apparatus with acetoacetate and competing or alternate substrates including glucose, lactate, pyruvate, propionate, leucine, isoleucine, valine and acetate. While the pressure-volume work for hearts utilizing glucose was stable for 60 minutes of perfusion, performance fell by 30 minutes for hearts oxidizing acetoacetate as the sole substrate. The tissue content of 2-oxoglutarate and its transamination product, glutamate, were elevated in hearts utilizing acetoacetate while succinyl-CoA was decreased suggesting impaired flux through the citric acid cycle at the level of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase. Further studies indicated that the inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase developed prior to the onset of contractile failure and that the inhibition of the enzyme may be related to sequestration of the required cofactor, coenzyme A, as the thioesters acetoacetyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. The contractile failure was not observed when glucose, lactate, pyruvate, propionate, valine or isoleucine were present together with acetoacetate, but the addition of acetate or leucine to acetoacetate did not improve performance indicating that improved performance is not mediated through the provision of additional acetyl-CoA. Furthermore, addition of competing substrates that improved function did not relieve the inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and actually resulted in the further accumulation of citric acid cycle intermediates "upstream" of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (2-oxoglutarate, glutamate, citrate and malate). Studies with (1-$\sp{14}$C) pyruvate indicate that the utilization of ketone bodies is associated with activation of NADP$\sp+$dependent malic enzyme and enrichment of the C4 pool of the citric acid cycle. The results suggest that contractile failure induced by ketone bodies in rat heart results from inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase and that reversal of contractile failure is dissociated from relief of the inhibition, but rather is due to the entry of carbon units into the citric acid cycle as compounds other than acetyl-CoA. This mechanism of enrichment (anaplerosis) provides oxaloacetate for condensation with acetyl-CoA derived from ketone bodies allowing continued energy production by sustaining flux through a span of the citric acid cycle up to the point of inhibition at 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase for energy production thereby producing the reducing equivalents necessary to sustain oxidative phosphorylation. ^

Mechanism of dendritic epidermal T cell-mediated tolerance induction and inhibition of proliferation

Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) comprise a unique population of T cells that reside in mouse epidermis and whose function remains unclear. Most DETC express a $\gamma\delta$ TCR, although some, including our DETC line, AU16, express an $\alpha\beta$ TCR. Additionally, AU16 cells express CD3, Thy-1, CD45, CD28, B7, and AsGM-1. Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that hapten-conjugated AU16 could induce specific immunologic tolerance in vivo and inhibit T cell proliferation in vitro. Both these activities are antigen-specific, and the induction of tolerance is non-MHC-restricted. In addition, AU16 cells are cytotoxic to a number of tumor cell lines in vitro. These studies suggested a role for these cells in immune surveillance. The purpose of my studies was to test the hypothesis that these functions of DETC (tolerance induction, inhibition of T cell proliferation, and tumor cell killing) were mediated by a cytotoxic mechanism. My specific aims were (1) to determine whether AU16 could prevent or delay tumor growth in vivo; and (2) to determine the mechanism whereby AU16 induce tolerance, using an in vitro proliferation assay. I first showed that AU16 cells killed a variety of skin tumor cell lines in vitro. I then demonstrated that they prevented melanoma growth in C3H mice when both cell types were mixed immediately prior to intradermal (i.d.) injection. Studies using the in vitro proliferation assay confirmed that DETC inhibit proliferation of T cells stimulated by hapten-bearing, antigen-presenting cells (FITC-APC). To determine which cell was the target, $\gamma$-irradiated, hapten-conjugated AU16 were added to the proliferation assay on d 4. They profoundly inhibited the proliferation of naive T cells to $\gamma$-irradiated, FITC-APC, as measured by ($\sp3$H) TdR uptake. This result strongly suggested that the T cell was the target of the AU16 activity because no APC were present by d 4 of the in vitro culture. In contrast, the addition of FITC-conjugated splenic T cells (SP-T) or lymph node T cells (LN-T) was less inhibitory. Preincubation of the T cells with FITC-AU16 cells for 24 h, followed by removal of the AU16 cells, completely inhibited the ability of the T cells to proliferate in response to FITC-APC, further supporting the conclusion that the T cell was the target of the AU16. Finally, AU16 cells were capable of killing a variety of activated T cells and T cell lines, arguing that the mechanism of proliferation inhibition, and possibly tolerance induction is one of cytotoxicity. Importantly, $\gamma\delta$ TCR$\sp+$ DETC behaved, both in vivo and in vitro like AU16, whereas other T cells did not. Therefore, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that AU16 cells are true DETC and that they induce tolerance by killing T cells that are antigen-activated in vivo. ^

Early stages of experimental colon carcinogenesis inhibit mast cell-dependent mucosal immune function of the distal colon

Inhibition of local host immune reactions is one mechanism contributing to tumor progression. To determine if alterations in local immune functioning occur during colon carcinogenesis, a model mucosal immune response, type I hypersensitivity against the intestinal parasite Trichinella spiralis, was first characterized in normal mice and then examined during experimental colon carcinogenesis. Segments of sensitized colon mounted in Ussing chambers and challenged with T. spiralis-derived antigen resulted in a rise in short-circuit current ($\rm\Delta I\sb{sc}$) that was antigen-specific and inhibited by furosemide, implicating epithelial Cl$\sp-$ secretion as the ionic mechanism. The immune-regulated Cl$\sp-$ secretion by colonic epithelial cells required the presence of mast cells with surface IgE. Inhibition of potential anaphylactic mediators with various pharmacological agents in vitro implicated prostaglandins and leukotrienes as the principal mediators of the antigen-induced $\rm\Delta I\sb{sc}$, with 5-hydroxytryptamine also playing a role. Distal colon from immune mice fed an aspirin-containing diet (800 mg/kg powdered diet) ad libitum for 6 wk had a decreased response to antigen, confirming the major role of prostaglandins in generating the colonic I$\sb{\rm sc}$. To determine the effects of early stages of colon carcinogenesis on this mucosal immune response, mice were immunized with T. spiralis 1 day after or 8 wk prior to the first of 6 weekly injections of the procarcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). Responsiveness to antigenic challenge was suppressed in the distal colon 4-6 wk after the final injection of DMH. One injection of DMH was not sufficient to inhibit antigen responsiveness. The colonic epithelium remained sensitive to direct stimulation by exogenous Cl$\sp-$ secretagogues. Decreased antigen-induced $\rm\Delta I\sb{sc}$ in the distal colon was not due to systemic immune suppression by DMH, as the proximal colon and jejunum maintained responsiveness to antigen. Also, rejection of a secondary T. spiralis infection from the small intestine was not altered. Tumors eventually developed 25-30 wk after the final injection of DMH only in the distal portions of the colon. These results suggest that early stages of DMH-induced colon carcinogenesis manipulate the microenvironment such that mucosal immune function, as measured by immune-regulated Cl$\sp-$ secretion, is suppressed in the distal colon, but not in other regions of the gut. Future elucidation of the mechanisms by which this localized inhibition of immune-mediated ion transport occurs may provide possible clues to the microenvironmental changes necessary for tumor progression in the distal colon. ^

p75 receptor-mediated neurotrophism: A new mechanism of melanoma cell survival and invasion

Trophism as a "clonal dominance" support mechanism for tumor cells is an unexplored area of tumor progression. This report presents evidence that the human melanoma low-affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75) can signal independently of its high-affinity tyrosine kinase counterparts, the TRK family of kinases. Signaling may be accomplished by a p75-associated purine-analog-sensitive kinase and results in enhanced invasion into a reconstituted basement membrane with a corresponding stimulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression. Additionally, a "stress culture" survival assay was developed to mimic the growth limiting conditions encountered by melanoma cells in a rapidly growing primary tumor or metastatic deposit prior to neoangiogenesis. Under these conditions, p75, promotes the survival of high p75 expressing brain-colonizing melanoma cells. Extensive 70W melanoma cell-cell contact, which downregulates p75, immediately precedes the induction of cell death associated with diminished production of two key cell survival factors, bcl-2 and the p85 subunit of phosphoinositol-3-kinase, and an elevation in apoptosis promoting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROSs). Since one function of bcl-2 may be to control the generation of ROSs via the antioxidant pathway, these cells may receive a apoptosis-prompting "double hit". 70W melanoma cell death occurred by an apoptotic mechanism displaying classical morphological changes including plasma membrane blebbing, loss of microvilli and redistribution of ribosomes. 70W apoptosis could be pharmacologically triggered following anti-p75 monoclonal antibody-mediated clustering of p75 receptors. 70W cells fluorescently sorted for high-p75 expression (p75$\sp{\rm H}$ cells) exhibited an augmented survival potential and a predilection to sort with the S + G2/M growth phase, relative to their low p75 expressing, p75$\sp{\rm L}$ counterparts. Apoptosis is significantly delayed by p75$\sp{\rm H}$ cells, whereas p75$\sp{\rm L}$ cells are exquisitely prone to initiate apoptosis. Importantly, the p75$\sp{\rm L}$ cells that survive apoptosis, highly re-expressed p75 and were remarkably responsive to exogenous NGF.^ These are the first data to implicate p75-mediated neurotrophism as an invasion and survival support mechanism employed by brain-metastatic cells. In particular, these results may have implications in little understood phenomena of tumor progression, such as the emergence of "clonal dominance" and tumor dormancy. ^

Mitotic mapping of a novel tumor suppressor locus on human chromosome 3q important in osteosarcoma tumorigenesis

Tumor-specific loss of constitutional heterozygosity by deletion, mitotic recombination or nondisjunction is a common mechanism for tumor suppressor allele inactivation. When loss of heterozygosity is the result of mitotic recombination, or a segmental deletion event, only a portion of the chromosome is lost. This information can be used to map the location of new tumor suppressor genes. In osteosarcoma, the highest frequencies of loss of heterozygosity have been reported for chromosomes 3q, 13q, 17p. On chromosomes 13q and 17p, allelic losses are associated with loss of function at the retinoblastoma susceptibility locus (RB1) and the p53 locus, respectively. Chromosome 3q is also of particular interest because the high percent of loss of heterozygosity (62%-75%) suggests the presence of another tumor suppressor important for osteosarcoma tumorigenesis. To localize this putative tumor suppressor gene, we used polymorphic markers on chromosome 3q to find the smallest common region of allele loss. This putative tumor suppressor was localized to a 700 kb region on chromosome 3q26.2 between the polymorphic loci D3S1282 and D3S1246. ^

The biology and mechanism of chemoresistance of brain metastases

Primary brain neoplasms and metastases to the brain are generally resistant to systemic chemotherapy. The purpose of theses studies was to determine the mechanism(s) for this resistance. We have developed a model to study the biology of brain metastasis by injecting metastatic K1735 melanoma cells into the carotid artery of syngeneic C3H/HeN or nude mice. The resulting brain lesions are produced in the parenchyma of the brain. Mice with subcutaneous or brain melanoma lesions were treated intravenously with doxorubicin (DXR) (7 mg/kg). The s.c. lesions regressed in most of the mice whereas no therapeutic benefits were produced in mice with brain metastases. The intravenous injection of sodium fluorescine revealed that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is intact in and around brain metastases smaller than 0.2 mm$\sp2$ but not in larger lesions, implying that the BBB is not a major obstacle for chemotherapy of brain metastases.^ Western blot and FACS analyses revealed that K1735 melanoma brain metastases expressed high levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) as compared to s.c. tumors or in vitro cultures. Similarly, K1735 cells from brain metastases expressed higher levels of mdrl mRNA. This increased expression of mdrl was due to adaptation to the local brain environment. We base this conclusion on the results of two studies. First, K1735 cells from brain metastases cultured for 7 days lost the high mdrl expression. Second, in crossover experiments K1735 cells from s.c. tumors (low mdrl expression) implanted into the brain exhibited high levels of mdrl expression whereas cells from brain metastases implanted s.c. lost the high level mdrl expression.^ To investigate the mechanism by which the brain environment upregulates mdrl expression of the K1735 cells we first studied the regulation of P-gp in brain endothelial cells. Since astrocytes are closely linked with the BBB we cocultured brain endothelial cells for 3 days with astrocytes. These endothelial cells expressed high levels of mdrl mRNA and protein whereas endothelial cells cocultured with endothelial cells or fibroblasts did not. We next cocultured K1735 melanoma cells with astrocytes. Here again, astrocytes (but not fibroblasts or tumor cells) uprelated the mdrl expression in K1735 tumor cells. This upregulation inversely correlated with intracellular drug accumulation and sensitivity to DXR.^ The data conclude that the resistance of melanoma brain metastases to chemotherapy is not due to an intact BBB but to the upregulation of the mdrl gene by the organ microenvironment, i.e., the astrocytes. This epigenetic mediated resistance to chemotherapy has wide implications for the therapy of brain metastases. ^

Peptide nucleic acids: Mechanism of tight binding and application in artificial nuclease

Peptide nucleic acids (PNA) are mimics of nucleic acids with a peptidic backbone. Duplexes and triplexes formed between PNA and DNA or RNA possess remarkable thermal stability, they are resistant to nuclease cleavage and can better discriminate mismatches. Understanding the mechanism for the tight binding between PNA and oligonucleotides is important for the design and development of better PNA-based drugs.^ We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of 8-mer PNA/DNA duplex and two analogous duplexes with chiral modification of PNA strand (D- or L-Alanine modification). MD simulations were performed with explicit water and Na$\sp{+}$ counter ions. The 1.5-ns simulations were carried out with AMBER using periodic boundary and particle mesh Ewald summation. The point charges for PNA monomers were derived from fitting electrostatic potentials, obtained from ab initio calculation, to atomic centers using RESP. Derived charges reveal significantly altered charge distribution on the PNA bases and predict the Watson-Crick H-bonds involving PNA to be stronger. Results from NMR studies investigating H-bond interactions between DNA-DNA and DNA-PNA base pairs in non-polar environment are consistent with this prediction. MD simulations demonstrated that the PNA strand is more flexible than the DNA strand in the same duplex. That this flexibility might be important for the duplex stability is tested by introducing modification into the PNA backbones. Results from MD simulation revealed dramatically altered structures for the modified PNA-DNA duplexes. Consistent with previous NMR results, we also found no intrachain hydrogen bonds between O7$\sp\prime$ and N1$\sp\prime$ of the neighboring residues in our MD study. Our study reveals that in addition to the lack of charge repulsion, stronger Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds together with flexible backbone are important factors for the enhanced stability of the PNA-DNA duplex.^ In a related study, we have developed an application of Gly-Gly-His-(Gly)$\sb3$-PNA conjugate as an artificial nuclease. We were able to demonstrate cleavage of single stranded DNA at a single site upon Ni(II) binding to Gly-Gly-His tripeptide and activation of nuclease with monoperoxyphthalic acid. ^

THE MECHANISM OF RETINOIC ACID REGULATION OF TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE GENE EXPRESSION

Retinoic acid regulates cellular growth and differentiation by altering the expression of specific sets of genes, but the molecular mechanism by which this is achieved is unknown. We have used the rapid induction of a specific enzyme, tissue transglutaminase in mouse macrophages, human leukemia cells and a variety of other cell types to study the regulation of gene expression by retinoic acid. Soluble retinoic acid binding proteins, such as cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein (cRABP), have been proposed as specific mediators of retinoic acid regulation of gene expression. This thesis demonstrates the lack of cRABP in a number of cell lines which are sensitive to retinoic acid regulation of tissue transglutaminase expression. These cells are also devoid of other soluble retinoic acid binding activity. The level of retinoic acid binding activity that could have been detected (6 fmol) is far below that of most cells and tissues which are sensitive to the effects of retinoic acid on growth and differentiation. A mouse melanoma cell line, S91-C2, was found to contain an unusual retinoic acid binding protein which has a lower affinity for retinoic acid than mouse tissue cRABP and also behaves differently on gel filtration HPLC chromatography.^ The induction of tissue transglutaminase by retinoic acid in macrophages is specifically inhibited by pertussis toxin. Pertussis toxin ADP-riblosylates membrane GTP-binding proteins such as N(,i) and interferes with signalling from plasma membrane receptors to regulatory enzymes. Pertussis toxin inhibition of transglutaminase induction is due to inhibition of tissue transglutaminase mRNA accumulation and is paralleled by the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000 dalton macrophage membrane protein. It is concluded that soluble retinoic acid binding proteins are not essential for retinoic acid induction of tissue transglutaminase and that a membrane GTP-binding protein is closely linked to the sensitive response of macrophages to retinoic acid. ^

A PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF THE MECHANISM OF CYTOTOXICITY OF 9-BETA-D- XYLOFURANOSYLADENINE IN CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS

The biochemical determinants of cytotoxicity of the purine nucleoside analog, 9-(beta)-D-xylofuranosyladenine (xyl-A) were studied in wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells and in nucleoside kinase deficient mutants. It was found that {('3)H}xyl-A was readily phosphorylated to the triphosphate level in both the wild-type and deoxycytidine kinase deficient mutant, but not by the adenosine kinase deficient cells. Values for the apparent Km and Vmax of this uptake process were 43.9 (mu)M and 118.7 nmol/min/10('9) cells, respectively. Cloning procedures indicated that the viability of CHO cells was decreased 90 per cent by a 5-hr incubation with 10 (mu)M xyl-A. However, the toxicity of xyl-A was increased 100-fold by the addition of a nontoxic concentration (10 (mu)M) of the adenosine deaminase inhibitor erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA) to the medium. High-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis indicated that after 5 hr, the concentration of 9-(beta)-D-xylofuranosyladenine 5'-triphosphate (xyl-ATP) in cells incubated with xyl-A plus EHNA was 2.0 mM, four times greater than in those cells incubated with xyl-A alone. Incubation with xyl-A plus EHNA had no significant effect on the cellular concentrations of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate after 1 hr whereas, treatment with 3'-dexoyadenosine (cordycepin) decreased the concentration of this metabolite. Determinations of the cellular nucleoside triphosphates indicated that under conditions that resulted in an intracellular accumulation of 500 (mu)M xyl-ATP, the endogenous concentrations of neither the ribonucleoside triphosphates nor deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates were significantly different from those of control cells. The ID(,50) for {('3)H}thymidine incorporation into DNA, 105 (mu)M xyl-ATP, was four-fold less than the ID(,50) for {('3)H}uridine incorporation into RNA suggesting that the process of DNA synthesis is more sensitive to the presence of xyl-ATP. When removed from exogenous xyl-A, CHO cells failed to recover their ability to synthesize RNA and DNA, although the intracellular xyl-ATP concentration decreased to less than 35 (mu)M. The selective inhibition of RNA synthesis by 6-azauridine did not prevent the expression of toxicity by xyl-ATP. However, the selective inhibition of DNA synthesis by ara-C significantly spared toxicity in cells that had accumulated an otherwise lethal concentration of xyl-ATP. It is shown that in cells which had accumulated 1.27 mM {('3)H}xyl-ATP, {('3)H}xyl-A was found to terminate cellular RNA chains at a frequency of 1.42 (mu)mol of {('3)H}xyl-A 3' termini per mol of mononucleotide. These results indicate that a general mechanism for the toxicity of xyl-A to CHO cells includes the cellular accumulation of xyl-ATP, which serves as a substrate for RNA synthesizing enzymes and subsequently is incorporated into nascent RNA transcripts as a chain terminator. A specific mechanism involving the premature termination of RNA primers required for the initiation of DNA synthesis is proposed to account for the inhibitory action of xyl-ATP on DNA synthesis. ^

Bending Shear: The Rate-Controlling Mechanism for Calving Ice Walls

Bending shear was observed to produce nearly vertical shear bands in a calving ice wall standing on dry land on Deception Island (Iat. 63.0 oS., long. 60.6 W.), and slabs calved straight downward when shear rupture occurred along these shear bands (Hughes, 1989). A formula for the calving rate was developed from the Deception Island data, and we have attempted to justify generalizing this formula to include ice walls standing along beaches or in water. These are environments in which a wave-washed groove develops along the base of the ice wall or along a water line above the base. The rate of wave erosion provides an alternative mechanism for controlling the calving rate in these environments. We have determined that the rate at which bending creep produces nearly vertical shear bands, along which shear r upture occurs, controls the calving rate in all environments. Shear rupture occurs at a calving shear stress of about I bar. Our results justify using the calving formula to compute the calving rate of ice walls in computer models of ice-sheet dynamics. This is especially important in simulating retreat of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the last deglaciation, when marine and lacustrine environments were common along retreating ice margins. These margins would have been ice walls standing along beaches or in water, because floating ice shelves are not expected in the ablation zone of retreating ice sheets.

An IEEE 802.11 energy efficient mechanism for continuous media applications

The widespread deployment of wireless mobile communications enables an almost permanent usage of portable devices, which imposes high demands on the battery of these devices. Indeed, battery lifetime is becoming one the most critical factors on the end-users satisfaction when using wireless communications. In this work, the optimized power save algorithm for continuous media applications (OPAMA) is proposed, aiming at enhancing the energy efficiency on end-users devices. By combining the application specific requirements with data aggregation techniques, {OPAMA} improves the standard {IEEE} 802.11 legacy Power Save Mode (PSM) performance. The algorithm uses the feedback on the end-user expected quality to establish a proper tradeoff between energy consumption and application performance. {OPAMA} was assessed in the OMNeT++ simulator, using real traces of variable bitrate video streaming applications, and in a real testbed employing a novel methodology intended to perform an accurate evaluation concerning video Quality of Experience (QoE) perceived by the end-users. The results revealed the {OPAMA} capability to enhance energy efficiency without degrading the end-user observed QoE, achieving savings up to 44 when compared with the {IEEE} 802.11 legacy PSM.
