    • Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region and extent) to serve as types of taxon names for voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from environmental DNA sequences), have been submitted to be voted on at the 11th International Mycological Congress (Puerto Rico, July 2018). We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. Should the proposals be accepted, the meaning of nomenclatural types would change in a fundamental way from physical objects as sources of data to the data themselves. Such changes are conducive to irreproducible science, the potential typification on artefactual data, and massive creation of names with low information content, ultimately causing nomenclatural instability and unnecessary work for future researchers that would stall future explorations of fungal diversity. We conclude that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way. As an alternative, we highlight the use of formulas for naming putative taxa (candidate taxa) that do not require any modification of the ICN.

  • Intussusceptive angiogenesis in human metastatic malignant melanoma. : Intussusception in human melanoma
  • 2021

    • Angiogenesis supplies oxygen and nutrients to growing tumors. Inhibiting angiogenesis may stop tumor growth, but vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors have limited effect in most tumors. The limited effect may be explained by an additional, less vascular endothelial growth factor-driven, form of angiogenesis known as intussusceptive angiogenesis. The importance of intussusceptive angiogenesis in human tumors is not known. Epifluorescence and confocal microscopy was used to visualize intravascular pillars, the hallmark structure of intussusceptive angiogenesis, in tumors. Human malignant melanoma metastases, patient-derived melanoma xenografts in mice (PDX), and genetically engineered BRAF-induced, PTEN-deficient (BPT) mice (BrafCA/+Ptenf/fTyr-Cre+/0-mice) were analyzed for pillars. Gene expression in human melanoma metastases and PDXs was analyzed by RNA sequencing. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) protein expression and T-cell and macrophage infiltration in tumor sections were determined with multiplex immunostaining. Intravascular pillars were detected in human metastases but rarely in PDXs and not in BPT mice. The expression of MMP9 mRNA was higher in human metastases compared with PDXs. High expression of MMP9 protein as well as infiltration of macrophages and T-cell infiltration were detected in proximity to intravascular pillars. MMP inhibition blocked formation of pillars, but not tubes or tip cells, invitro. In conclusion, intussusceptive angiogenesis may contribute to the growth of human melanoma metastases. MMP inhibition blocked pillar formation invitro and should be further investigated as a potential anti-angiogenic drug target in metastatic melanoma.
