- Resident and transient Escherichia coli strains were identified in the rectal flora of 22 Pakistani infants followed from birth to 6 months of age. All strains were tested for O-antigen expression, adhesin specificity (P fimbriae, other mannose-resistant adhesins or type 1 fimbriae) and adherence to the colonic cell line HT-29. Resident strains displayed higher mannose-resistant adherence to HT-29 cells, and expressed P fimbriae (P = 0.0036) as well as other mannose-resistant adhesins (P = 0.012) more often than transient strains. In strains acquired during the first month of life, P fimbriae were 12 times more frequent in resident than in transient strains (P = 0.0006). The O-antigen distribution did not differ between resident and transient strains, and none of the resident P-fimbriated strains belonged to previously recognized uropathogenic clones. The results suggest that adhesins mediating adherence to intestinal epithelial cells, especially P fimbriae, enhance the persistence of E. coli in the large intestine of infants.

Sensitivity to extrinsically supplied interferon and the endogenous expression of interferon in melanoma cell lines.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Interferons (IFNs) have been shown to Induce loss of growth potential in melanoma cell lines. However, human melanomas have shown limited responsiveness to clinical therapy with IFN. In a previous study on melanoma cell lines we found that greatest sensitivity to IFN was found in cell lines with the greatest number of copies of chromosome 9p, where the IFN gene family is located. In the present study the expression In melanoma cell lines of IFN genes, IFN receptor genes and standard control genes (beta-actin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 18S rRNA and cyclophilin) was investigated using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, together with an exogenous standard (cyclophllin armoured RNA). We found that the sensitivity to extrinsically supplied IFN seems to correlate with the expression of endogenous IFN genes. The two melanoma cell lines producing the highest relative amount of IFN mRNA transcripts also demonstrated the most marked response to extrinsically supplied IFN. We hypothesize that tumours with enhanced endogenous IFN production may respond more positively to IFN treatment.

Prevalence of Klinefelter's syndrome in male breast cancer patients

- Klinefelter's syndrome (KS, XXY) as a risk factor for developing breast cancer was evaluated in a retrospective study of 93 unselected male breast cancer patients from the Healthcare region of Western Sweden. Archival normal material from lymph nodes or skin and subcutaneous tissue was examined using the FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridisation)-technique. The best yield of intact nuclei was obtained from lymph node tissue. The prevalence rate of KS in males with breast cancer was found to be 7.5 per cent, a much higher rate than previously reported (approximately 3 per cent). Methodological differences are suggested to cause the increased prevalence rate. Based on our finding and on the prevalence of KS in the normal population as well as on the incidence of MBC, a 50-fold increased risk of developing breast cancer in males with KS relative to normal males was found. The same median age at diagnosis, 72 years, was established for both groups of patients. No differences in survival were seen.

- A new 3-dimensional zirconium hydrogen phosphate, τ-Zr(HPO4)2, was prepared by hydrothermal syntheses. The preparation, characterization, and determination of the crystal structure of this new material are reported. The structure was solved from single-crystal synchrotron diffraction on a 25 × 25 × 50 μm crystal. The position of the hydrogen atom was found using high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data. The unit cell is tetragonal, space group I41cd (No. 110), with lattice parameters a = 11.259(1) Å, c = 10.764(1) Å, and Z = 8. The structure can be described as a 3-dimensional framework built from ZrO6 octahedra bound together by hydrogen phosphate groups (PO3(OH)). The OH groups form a hydrogen-bonded spiral along the 41 axes, with each hydrogen phosphate both donating and accepting hydrogen bonds. The thermal transformations of τ-Zr(HPO4)2 were studied using in-situ temperature-resolved powder diffraction experiments. Hereby the existence of two new phases was discovered. The new phases have been indexed and the unit cell parameters are as follows. Intermediate I: a = 8.172(1), b = 7.691(1), and c = 10.794(2) Å. Intermediate II: a = 8.283(2), b = 6.620(2), and c = 10.643(2) Å.

- Four human melanoma cell lines with different copy numbers of chromosomes 9 and 21q, as studied by the G-band technique, fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), were tested for their sensitivity to Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) in relation to dosage of interferon genes (#9) and interferon receptor genes (#21p). The two most sensitive cell lines were those containing the highest numbers of #9 per cell, while the number of #21q copies (receptor genes) seemed to have no influence on the interferon sensitivity.
