- In the presence of Ba2+ ions, (benzothiazolyl)ethenylbenzocrown ether forms the stable sandwich complex 2L center dot Ba2+ with an unusual structure, in which the benzothiazole fragments are arranged one above the other. Irradiation of the sandwich complex with visible light induces stereoselective [2+2] cycloaddition giving rise to two "head-to-head" isomers of biscrown-cyclobutane. The addition of dibasic dicarboxylic acids that additionally stabilize the sandwich complex in a favorable conformation affects the isomer ratio of the cyclobutanes formed. The conformational equilibria for the sandwich complex and cyclobutanes were studied by H-1 N MR spectroscopy.

15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase Expression Alone or in Combination with ACSM1 Defines a Subgroup of the Apocrine Molecular Subtype of Breast Carcinoma

- Established histopathological criteria divide invasive breast carcinomas into defined groups. Ductal of no specific type and lobular are the two major subtypes accounting for around 75 and 15% of all cases, respectively. The remaining 10% include rarer types such as tubular, cribriform, mucinous, papillary, medullary, metaplastic, and apocrine breast carcinomas. Molecular profiling technologies, on the other hand, subdivide breast tumors into five subtypes, basal-like, luminal A, luminal B, normal breast tissue-like, and ERBB2-positive, that have different prognostic characteristics. An additional subclass termed "molecular apocrine" has recently been described, but these lesions did not exhibit all the histopathological features of classical invasive apocrine carcinomas (IACs). IACs make up 0.5-3% of the invasive ductal carcinomas, and despite the fact that they are morphologically distinct from other breast lesions, there are presently no standard molecular criteria available for their diagnosis and as a result no precise information as to their prognosis. Toward this goal our laboratories have embarked in a systematic proteomics endeavor aimed at identifying biomarkers that may characterize and subtype these lesions as well as targets that may lead to the development of novel targeted therapies and chemoprevention strategies. By comparing the protein expression profiles of apocrine macrocysts and non-malignant breast epithelial tissue we have previously reported the identification of a few proteins that are specifically expressed by benign apocrine lesions as well as by the few IACs that were available to us at the time. Here we reiterate our strategy to reveal apocrine cell markers and present novel data, based on the analysis of a considerably larger number of samples, establishing that IACs correspond to a distinct molecular subtype of breast carcinomas characterized by the expression of 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase alone or in combination with a novel form of acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain family member 1 (ACSM1). Moreover we show that 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase is not expressed by other breast cancer types as determined by gel-based proteomics and immunohistochemistry analysis and that antibodies against this protein can identify IACs in an unbiased manner in a large breast cancer tissue microarray making them potentially useful as a diagnostic aid.

Thermal radiation from CN+ and La@CN
- 2005
-
In: J. Chem. Phys.. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-9606. ; 123
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The radiative cooling of positively charged fullerene and endohedral fullerene fragments of C60, C70, C84, and La@C82 has been measured in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The radiative cooling is measured via its influence on the metastable decay. The emissivity extracted from the data is between 4×10–4 and 13×10–4. These values agree fairly well with the emissivity calculated from considering the low-energy tail of the surface plasmon. No major difference is found in the emission behavior of empty and endohedral fullerenes.

A femtosecond laser study of the endoral fullerenes Li@C60 and La@C82
- 2005
-
In: Eur. Phys. J. D. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1434-6060. ; 34, s. 205-209
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The endohedral fullerenes La@C82 and Li@C60 have been studied in the gas phase with femtosecond laser excitation. The two molecules show qualitatively the same behaviour with respect to ion yield vs. pulse energy, but markedly different fragmentation patterns, with La@C82 fragmenting via the shrink-wrap mechanism and Li@C60 predominantly losing the metal atom in the first fragmentation step. The ion yields and electron energy distributions of La@C82 agree well with a recently developed model for fs laser ionisation of C60.

Electronic Properties of thin films sublimed from La@C82 and Li@C60
- 2008
-
In: Nano. ; 3:3, s. 155-160
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- La@C82 and Li@C60 thin films obtained by sublimation in vacuum are studied using four-probe current-voltage measurements and atomic force microscopy. In situ electrical measurements show semiconducting behavior of both films with room-temperature resistivity of 21+-8 and 1230+-50 Ohm.cm for the La@C82 and Li@C60, respectively. A variable range hopping mechanism of conductance is suggested from the temperature dependences of resistance. The activation energies for electron transport are calculated for both metallofullerenes. Irreversible changes to the Li@C60 film structure increasing the film resistivity to values typical for C60 are found at elevated temperatures. The effect of exposure to ambient atmosphere on the conductance of the films is discussed.
