Chemical cross-linking of the proteins of Semliki Forest virus has been performed in virus particles and in baby hamster kidney-21 BHK-21 ; cells infected with Semliki Forest virus. Most of the studies were done with the reversible crosslinkers dimethyl 3, 3'-thiobis propionimidate ; and dithiobis succinimidyl propionate ; . The identity of the cross-linked species was determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The results with virus particles showed extensive cross-linking of the nucleocapsid proteins and the formation of dimers of the two large envelope glycoproteins E1 and E2 ; . Similar patterns for the cross-linked virus proteins were observed in plasma membranes isolated from BHK-21 cells infected with Semliki Forest virus. No cross-linking of the third envelope glycoprotein E3 ; was observed. Also, there was no evidence for significant cross-linking between host and virus proteins. The addition of colchicine, a drug that disrupts microtubules, to infected BHK-21 cells had no effect on the cross-linking of virus proteins in the plasma membrane. In contrast, dibucaine, a local anesthetic, greatly inhibited the formation of envelope dimers E1-E2 ; in plasma membranes, but not in virus particles. The implication of these results for the involvement of the cytoskeletal system in the morphogenesis of Semliki Forest virus is discussed. 191. EVALUATING THE ROLE OF TELOMER ASE AND CELL CYCLE PROTEINS IN CHOROID PLEXUS TUMOURS Salhia B, Carlotti C, Hubbard SL, Mondal S, Rutka JT; Arthur and Sonia Labatt Brain Tumour Research Centre, Division of Neurosugery, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada Tumours of the choroid plexus CPT ; are rare and frequently lethal neoplasms of neuroectodermal origin. Accounting for 2% of all intracranial tumours, these tumours predominantly arise in the pediatric population 24% ; and represent 1020% of tumours occurring in the first year of life. The criteria for the differentiation of choroid plexus carcinoma CPC ; from choroid plexus papilloma CPP ; are usually straightforwa rd, but atypical cases of CPP can arise. Although many studies on choroid plexus tumours describe the histopathological changes that occur during the progression from CPP to CPC, our molecular understanding of these tumours is not well defined. In various human neoplasias, the reduction of telomere length and increased telomerase a ribonucleoprotein ; activity has been observed. It has been suggested that telomerase may be a key player in cancer cell immortalization. In addition, the measurement of telomerase has been verified as a significant diagnostic and prognostic marker for several cancers. We have studied the expression of the telomerase components hTR and hTERT ; by in situ hybridization. Telomerase activity was detected by the telomere repeat amplification protocol TRAP assay ; . We found that telomerase activity was reduced in CPPs when compared to CPCs. Finally, we have studied the regulation of several cell cycle components including pRb, p53, p16, p27 and cyclins in CPPs and CPCs. We have observed the loss of p16 in both CPP and CPC by Western blot. These and other studies will help to further our understanding of the molecular biology of choroid plexus tumours, and may assist in improving the current therapeutic protocols available for their treatment and ilosone.

Materials. Radionuclide 36Cl was obtained from PerkinElmer. Caco-2 cells were obtained from ATCC. DIDS, 2- N-Morpholino ; ethanesulfonic acid MES ; , colchicine, and EIPA were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. All reagents for SDS-PAGE such as acrylamide, Bis acrylamide, and ammonium persulfate were procured from Fisher Scientific. Cell culture. Caco-2 cells were grown in T-75 cm2 plastic flasks at 37C in a 5% CO2 environment. The culture medium consisted of high-glucose MEM, 20% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 100 IU ml penicillin, and 100 g ml streptomycin. Cells used for these studies were between passages 25 and 45 and were plated on 24-well plates at a density of 2 104 cells well. Cells were used for experiments at day 1014 after plating. T84 cells were obtained from K. Barrett UCSD, La Jolla, California, USA ; and were grown in a 1: mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12 supplemented with 6% newborn calf serum, 14 mM NaHCO3, 15 mM HEPES, 65 IU ml penicillin, 8 g ml ampicillin, and 60 g ml streptomycin in a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37C. Cells were plated in 24-well plates at a density of 8 104 cells well and were used for experiments 2 weeks after plating. Bacterial culture and cell infection. The following EPEC strains were used: i ; wild-type EPEC strain E2348 69, ii ; CVD452 E2348 69 escN: Km ; 43 ; , iii ; UMD864 E2348 69 48-759 espB1 ; 44 ; , iv ; UMD870 E2348 69 espD1: aph-3 Km 45 ; , v ; a nonpathogenic E. coli strain HB101 ; , vi ; espG 19 ; , vii ; espG espG2, espG complements espG + espG and espG espG2 + espG ; 19 ; , viii ; espF UMD874 ; 5 ; , ix ; espH SE874 ; , and x ; map SE882 ; . espH and map were kindly provided by J. Kaper University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA ; . Strains were grown overnight in the presence of appropriate antibiotics. On the day of experimentation, 30 l of bacterial culture was transferred to 1 ml serum- and antibioticfree T84 cell culture medium supplemented with 0.5% mannose. Bacteria were grown approximately 3 hours to an OD600 of 0.4. Cell monolayers were infected at an MOI of 100. Nonadherent bacteria were removed by washing in PBS after 3090 minutes. 36Cl uptake. Chloride uptake experiments were performed essentially as described previously by us 24 ; Caco-2 cells were incubated with DMEM base medium containing 20 mM HEPES KOH pH 8.5, for 30 minutes at room temperature. The medium was removed, and the cells were rapidly washed with 1 ml tracer-free uptake mannitol buffer containing 260 mM mannitol, 20 mM Tris 2- N-Morpholino ; ethanesulfonic acid pH 7.0. The cells were then incubated with the uptake buffer for 5 minutes in the absence or presence of 300 M DIDS. This time period was chosen as it was within the linear range of Cl uptake. The uptake buffer contained 1.4 Ci of 36Cl 2.9 mM ; of hydrochloric acid specific activity: 17.12 mCi g ; in the mannitol buffer. The uptake was terminated by removing the buffer and washing the cells rapidly 2 times with 1 ml of ice-cold PBS, pH 7.2. Finally, the cells were solubilized by incubation with 0.5 N NaOH for 4 hours. The protein concentration was measured by the method of Bradford 46 ; , and the radioactivity was determined by a Packard Tri-Carb 1600TR Liquid Scintillation Analyzer Packard Instruments; PerkinElmer ; . The Cl OH exchange activity was assessed as DIDS-sensitive 36Cl uptake, and values are expressed as nanomoles per milligram protein per 5 minutes. Cell-surface biotinylation studies. Cell-surface biotinylation was performed using sulfo-NHS-biotin 0.5 mg ml; Pierce Biotechnology ; in borate buffer in mM: 154 NaCl, 7.2 KCl, 1.8 CaCl2, 10 H3BO3, pH 9.0 ; , as previously described, with labeling for 60 minutes at 4C to stop endocytosis and internalization of antigens 47 ; . After immunoprecipitation of biotinylatVolume 117 Number 2 February 2007 435 and isordil and colchicine. Paclitaxel differs by 30-fold between high and low Pgp170 expressing cancer cells. Similarly, colchicie shows 10fold difference. In contrast, A-432411 exhibits a similar potency regardless of the Pgp170 status. The results indicate that A-432411 is not a Pgp substrate, thereby suggesting that it is superior to other antimitotic agents in this regard. One observation in this report is that A-432411 seems less potent against normal HMVEC cells than paclitaxel and colchicines. As a representative normal cell type, HMVEC's response to A-432411 suggests that it may have a large therapeutic window in which to treat cancer cells. Paclitaxel and colchicjne show no such selectivity. On the other hand, if HMVEC represents precursor cells for neovasculature, paclitaxel and colchicine may be more potent inhibitors than A-432411. The potency of A-432411 on the other aspects of HMVEC cells such as migration and tube formation remains unclear and requires additional investigation. At this time, it is clear that A-432411 offers some unique properties and selectivity profiles over other antimitotic agents. In conclusion, we present a structurally novel antimitotic compound that binds tubulin at the same site as colchicine. A-432411 exhibits biochemical, molecular, and cellular mechanisms that are consistent with other natural and synthetic antimitotic compounds. The unique structural and biological properties of A-432411 make it an attractive candidate for further development toward potential clinical applications.

Pharmaceuticals, Surrey, UK ; was given at the start of each study, as a 25mcg intravenous bolus, followed by a 0.5mcg n-1 intravenous infusion, to maintain endogenous insulin at basal levels throughout, and to simulate the insulin resistance associated with stress-induced hyperglycaemia [3, 21-23, 54].

Suppression of myocardial hypertrophy is expected to cause heart failure. We have shown in the present study, that treatment with colchicine greatly attenuated the LV hypertrophic growth and remodeling induced by sustained pressure overload but there was no detectable impairment of LV function at baseline or during the increased systolic stress induced by phenylephrine infusion. These results indicate that treatment with colchicine allowed the LV to adapt to pressure overload even in the absence of LV hypertrophy.

Effects of colchicine on microtubules Many arguments for legal access to medical cannabis begin with the story of how Valerie Corral started a non-profit hospice to grow and distribute marijuana to fellow cannabis users who demonstrated illness. Even though she was operating a cannabis farm in cooperation with local and state authorities, and legally under California law, Valerie Corral was visited by "federal DEA agents who were ; armed with automatic weapons and wearing flak jackets who ; . took her into custody while she was still in her pajamas!" According to Drug Policy Alliance, one of several public interest groups that advocates for medical marijuana rights, the federal government views Valerie Corral as "a danger to society who ; needs to be behind bars Drug Policy Alliance, 2003 ; ."

GROWING IDEAS INTO OUTCOMES Human and Health Services. This agreement outlines a common set of operational rules and sets a standard of excellence for all IRBs. In almost all cases, human participants must give informed consent before they can be enrolled in a research-based project. There are certain situations where consent can either be waved or implied, but protocols utilizing such techniques are highly scrutinized by IRBs, and when allowed, are usually required to be carefully monitored. A central component of IRB review is participant autonomy. Since consent is a process, not a product, participants have the right to withdraw from a study at any time in the life cycle of a project, without penalty or repercussion. In cases where participants are promised monetary payments for participation, a plan for prorating the payment should be included in the protocol as well as the consent form. Step 4: Funding Funding usually falls into one of two categories: internal or external. Internal support refers to funds supplied by a researcher's institution; such dollars are commonly earmarked to support research at hospitals or universities. External support refers to grants or gifts. Examples of this include funds provided by the National Institutes of Health NIH ; , the Department of Health and Human Services DHHS ; , the National Science Foundation NSF ; , or private foundations. Small-scale, clinically-based projects don't usually require a large operating budget. However, depending on the research questions to be addressed and the specific design of the project, funding can indeed make or break a research project. For example, prospective, survey-based projects may require minor funding for photocopying and postage, whereas experimental studies may require funding for drugs, equipment, or. Petitioner also maintains that the use tax, as applied by the Division, violates the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution in that it impermissibly discriminates between the tax treatment of the retail sales of drugs and the use of Sample Drugs. Further, petitioner alleges that Tax Law 1118 3 ; exempts the use of property that is expressly exempt from tax on a retail sale. Petitioner notes that the Division, by its stipulation, has conceded that on the retail sale of drugs, there is no sales tax legally due on the accompanying packaging materials or informational inserts. Therefore, petitioner maintains that there must be a corresponding exemption for the use of such items. OPINION Tax Law 1105 a ; imposes sales tax on "[t]he receipts from every retail sale of tangible personal property, except as otherwise provided in this article." Tax Law 1101 b ; 4 ; defines a retail sale as "[a] sale of tangible personal property to any person for any purpose, other than A ; for resale as such or as a physical component part of tangible personal property." Tax Law 1110 a ; imposes a compensating use tax on every person for the use within this state "of any tangible personal property . manufactured, processed or assembled by the user, i ; if items of the same kind of tangible personal property are offered for sale by him in the regular course of business." A "use" of property within the state is defined by Tax Law 1101 b ; 7 ; as: The exercise of any right or power over tangible personal property or over any of the services which are subject to tax under section eleven hundred ten of this article or pursuant to the authority of article twenty-nine of this chapter, by the purchaser thereof, and includes, but is not limited to, the receiving, storage or any keeping or retention for any length of time, withdrawal from storage, any installation, any affixation to real or personal property, or any consumption of such property or of any such service subject to tax under such section eleven hundred ten or pursuant to the authority of such article twenty-nine.
