A1 - Scherneck, Siegfried A1 - Rosenthal, Andra T1 - ST18 is a breast cancer tumor suppressor gene at human chromosome 8q11.2 N2 - We have identified a gene, ST18 (suppression of tumorigenicity 18, breast carcinoma, zinc-finger protein), within a frequent imbalanced region of chromosome 8q11 as a breast cancer tumor suppressor gene. The ST18 gene encodes a zinc-finger DNA-binding protein with six fingers of the C2HC type (configuration Cys-X5-Cys-X12-His-X4-Cys) and an SMC domain. ST18 has the potential to act as transcriptional regulator. ST18 is expressed in a number of normal tissues including mammary epithelial cells although the level of expression is quite low. In breast cancer cell lines and the majority of primary breast tumors, ST18 mRNA is significantly downregulated. A 160 bp region within the promoter of the ST18 gene is hypermethylated in about 80% of the breast cancer samples and in the majority of breast cancer cell lines. The strong correlation between ST18 promoter hypermethylation and loss of ST18 expression in tumor cells suggests that this epigenetic mechanism is responsible for tumor-specific downregulation. We further show that ectopic ST18 expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells strongly inhibits colony formation in soft agar and the formation of tumors in a xenograft mouse model Y1 - 2004 UR - http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/onc/journal/v23/n57/abs/ 1208131a.html&dynoptions=doi1113987275 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Gedvilaite, Alma A1 - Frömmel, C.

T1 - Generation of an antibody against the protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor KEPI and characterization of the epitope N2 - A monoclonal antibody against the potential tumor suppressor kinase-enhanced protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitor KEPI (PPP1R14C) was generated and characterized. Human KEPI was expressed in Escherichia coli and used to immunize Balb/c mice. Using hybridoma technology, one clone, G18AF8, was isolated producing antibodies which bound specifically to the KEPI protein in ELISA, immunoblotting and flow cytometry. The antibody was also successfully applied to stain KEPI protein in paraffin sections of human brain. The epitope was mapped using peptide array technology and confirmed as GARVFFQSPR. This corresponds to the N-terminal region of KEPI. Amino acid substitution analysis revealed that two residues, F and Q, are essential for binding. Affinity of binding was determined by competitive ELISA as 1 mu M. In Western blot assays testing G18AF8 antibody on brain samples of several species, reactivity with hamster, rat and chicken samples was found, suggesting a broad homology of this KEPI epitope in vertebrates. This antibody could be used in expression studies at the protein level e.g. in tumor tissues.

Independently from additional flanking linkers, yeast- expressed VP1 proteins harboring the CEA insertion between VP1 amino acid residues 80 and 89 (site 1) or 288 and 295 (site 4) or simultaneously at both positions assembled to chimeric virus-like particles (VLPs). BALB/c mice immunized with adjuvant-free VLPs developed VP1- and epitope-specific antibodies. The level of the CEA-specific antibody response was determined by the insertion site, the number of inserts, and the flanking linker. The strongest CEA-specific antibody response was observed in mice immunized with VP1 proteins harboring the CEA insert at site 1. Moreover, the CEA- specific antibodies in these mice were still detectable 6 mo after the final booster immunization. Our results indicate that hamster polyomavirus-derived VLPs represent a highly immunogenic carrier for foreign insertions that might be useful for clinical and therapeutic applications.

Membranes were prepared from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and acrylonitrile copolymerized with N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP20, NVP30), Na-methallylsulfonate (NaMAS) and N-(3-amino-propyl-methacrylamide-hydrochloride) (APMA). Cell number and antibody concentration were quantified as criteria for viability and productivity. Adhesion of hybridoma cells was characterized by vital and scanning electron microscopy. The results suggest that a strong adhesion of cells, observed on APMA and TCPS, increased cell growth but reduced monoclonal antibody production. In contrast membranes with lowered adhesivity such as NVP20 provided favourable conditions for monoclonal antibody production. In addition it was shown that this membrane also possessed a minor fouling as indicated by the low decrease of water flux across the membrane after protein adsorption. It was concluded that NVP20 could be a suitable material for the development of hollow fibre membranes for bioreactors.

Studying B cell activities in vivo or using them for tolerance induction requires that the cells remain unaltered in their biological behavior except for expression of the transgene. As we show here, murine B cells can efficiently be transduced by lentiviral, VSV-G-pseudotyped vectors without the necessity of prior activation. Culture with LPS gave enhanced transduction efficiencies but led to the upregulation of CD86 and proliferation of the cells. Transduction of naive B cells by lentiviral vectors was dependent on multiplicity of infection and did not lead to a concomitant activation. Furthermore, the transduced cells could be used for studies in the NOD mouse system without altering the onset of diabetes. We conclude that lentiviral gene transfer into naive B cells is a powerful tool for manipulation of B cells for therapeutic applications.

In addition to biological components nowadays biomimetic recognition molecules are also used. Especially antibodies, aptamers, and molecular imprints are promising biomimetics. They could broaden the range of detectable analytes and could increase the functional stability of the sensor. In this publication we describe the generation of biomimetic antibodies and biomimetic molecular imprints for binding creatinine and for hydrolyzing phenylcarbamates to be used in electrochemical sensors.

A prerequisite is the reduction or blockade of B7 of APC. Besides dendritic cell, B cells can be used as APC. Here, we show the generation B cells with reduced B7 expression by lentiviral transduction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-directed CTLA4. Vectors coding for the human CTL4-Ig were used for the human B-cell line Raji. Transduction efficiency was over 90% (MOI = 3). For the murine B-cell line A20 and for primary mouse B cells, murine CTLA4 was used. We show that B cells with reduced B7 expression reduce the antigen (Ag) specific TC proliferation in vitro. B cells expressing an ER-directed CTLA4 may reduce Ag-specific immune responses.

Fibronectin, collagen I, bovine serum albumin and laminin were used to coat NUNC and COSTAR cell culture plates. Cell number and antibody concentration in culture fluids were quantified as indicators for cell viability, proliferation and productivity. Adhesive behaviour, morphology, expression of surface receptors of hybridoma cells and the presence of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins in cell lysates were characterized by cell adhesion experiments, microscopy, flow cytometry and Western Blot analysis. It was shown that coatings with fibronectin (0.2 ;g/ml) lead to a substantial improvement of cell growth by 50-70% and an increase of monoclonal antibody production by 100-120%. Collagen I coatings showed an improvement in cell growth by 30-70% and by 60% for the production of monoclonal antibodies. Coatings with BSA and laminin had minor effects on these parameters. It was found that the hybridoma cell lines used in this study did not express the ;2-chain of the ;2;1-integrin, which is responsible for binding to collagen and laminin. However, the presence of ;1- integrin on the cell surface was shown, which should enable hybridoma cells to bind fibronectin. We propose, therefore, that fibronectin adsorption to cell culture materials may be a promising approach to enhance the production of monoclonal antibodies by cultivated hybridoma cells.
