Abstract
BACKGROUND A prospective, randomized phase II study, with mandatory tumor sampling at current disease stage, aimed to identify biomarkers predictive of improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with pancreatic cancer treated with erlotinib. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed, unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer, who had failed on or were unsuitable for first-line chemotherapy, underwent a tumor biopsy and were then randomized to receive once-daily erlotinib 150 mg or placebo. The primary end point was identification of biomarkers predicting improved PFS with erlotinib. Secondary end points included PFS, overall survival, response and toxicity. RESULTS At data cut-off, 207 patients were enrolled and analyzed. Prespecified biomarker analyses of EGFR protein expression, EGFR gene copy number/mutations/polymorphisms and KRAS mutations did not identify any subgroups with a detrimental effect or a strong benefit for PFS with erlotinib. In the primary analysis, the median PFS was 6.1 versus 5.9 weeks in the erlotinib and placebo arms, respectively [hazard ratio (HR) 0.83; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-1.10; P = 0.1909]. However, observed baseline imbalances indicated worse prognosis in the erlotinib arm. After adjustment for baseline characteristics, a significant PFS benefit for erlotinib was observed (HR 0.68; 95% CI 0.50-0.91; P = 0.0102). Exploratory biomarker analyses showed patients with high baseline serum amphiregulin levels might benefit from erlotinib. CONCLUSION This study in patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer did not identify any prespecified biomarkers predictive of PFS benefit with erlotinib. Exploratory analyses suggested high amphiregulin might predict PFS benefit from erlotinib. CLINICALTRIALSGOV NUMBER NCT00674973.

Abstract
Background: Identification of appropriate markers for predicting clinical benefit with erlotinib in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may be able to guide patient selection for treatment. This open-label, multicentre, phase II trial aimed to identify genes with potential use as biomarkers for clinical benefit from erlotinib therapy. Methods: Adults with stage IIIb/IV NSCLC in whom one or more chemotherapy regimen had failed were treated with erlotinib (150 mg/day). Tumour biopsies were analysed using gene expression profiling with Affymetrix GeneChip® microarrays. Differentially expressed genes were verified using quantitative RT–PCR (qRT–PCR). Results: A total of 264 patients were enrolled in the study. Gene expression profiles found no statistically significant differentially expressed genes between patients with and without clinical benefit. In an exploratory analysis in responding versus nonresponding patients, three genes on chromosome 7 were expressed at higher levels in the responding group [epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) and Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5 (RAPGEF5)]. Independent quantification using qRT–PCR validated the association between EGFR and PSPH overexpression, but not RAPGEF5 overexpression, and clinical outcome. Conclusions: This study supports the use of erlotinib as an alternative to chemotherapy for patients with relapsed advanced NSCLC. Genetic amplification of the EGFR region of chromosome 7 may be associated with response to erlotinib therapy.

Abstract
2005 Background: In 40–50% of GBM epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is amplified, and often constitutively activated (EGFRvIII mutant). EGFR is therefore a potential therapeutic target. Previous studies suggested activity of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors in recurrent GBM, particularly in specific molecular subsets. This study explored erlotinib (E) activity in recurrent GBM. Methods: Randomized phase II trial. Eligibility criteria: histologically proven GBM, recurrent >3 months after radiotherapy, Karnofsky performance status (KPS) =70, no prior chemotherapy for recurrent disease, tissue sample for EGFR studies. Patients (pts) received E 150mg/day (300mg/day if on enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs [EIAEDs]), or control (TMZ 150–200mg/m2, day 1–5 q4wk or BCNU 60–80mg/m2 i.v., day 1–3 q8wk). If no significant toxicity, E was escalated to 200mg (500mg in patients on EIAEDs). The primary endpoint was 6 months’ PFS in =10/50 pts on E (20%); P0 was set at 15%, and P1 at 30%. Response was assessed with Macdonald’s criteria. EGFR amplification (FISH) and expression of EGFR, EGFRvIII and PTEN (immunohistochemistry [IHC]) were assessed. Results: 110 patients were randomized (54 E, 56 control: 27 TMZ; 29 BCNU). Median age 55 years; median KPS 90. All but 1 patient started treatment; median number of cycles was 2 for E, 4 for TMZ and 1 for BCNU. Grade 3/4 toxicities likely related to E: dermatological (5); hemorrhage (1). Grade 3/4 toxicities for control were mainly hematological (3 TMZ, 13 BCNU). Three pts discontinued E due to toxicity. Six-month PFS was 12% for E, 24% for control. Six and 12-month survival were 61% and 24% for E, and 63% and 26% for control. Two responses were seen on control; the best response on E was SD (n=6). Patients with EGFRvIII mutations (13 in E arm, 8 in control arm) had shorter PFS (p=0.007) and OS (p=0.004) regardless of treatment. Response to E was not correlated with EGFR expression, EGFR amplification or EGFRvIII mutation. Conclusions: This randomized, controlled phase II study did not find sufficient activity for erlotinib in the general population of recurrent GBM. The presence of EGFRvIII mutations was not predictive for response. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
7160 Background: The HER1/EGFR inhibitor erlotinib significantly prolongs survival of patients with previously-treated advanced NSCLC. Methods for selecting patients most likely to derive clinical benefit from erlotinib are not established. Increased HER1/EGFR gene copy number has been suggested as a potential predictive biomarker of clinical benefit, and was investigated in this phase II study. Methods: Advanced NSCLC patients who failed first line chemotherapy were treated with erlotinib monotherapy, 150 mg/d p.o. Each patient underwent tumor biopsy before start of treatment. Tumor HER1/EGFR gene amplification status was assessed using FISH, and classified as positive (amplification, polysomy, high polysomy) or negative (disomy, trisomy). Results: 83 patients were included: median age 56 (range 35–78); sex: male 72%, female 28%; histology: adenocarcinoma 43%, large cell 31%, squamous cell 19%, others 7%; smoking status: 44 current smokers, 28 former smokers, 11 never smokers. Of 73 evaluable patients, 7 (10%) achieved partial response (PR), 28 (38%) had stable disease (SD) and 38 (52%) had disease progression. PRs were observed in 4 males / 3 females; in 5 adenocarcinomas / 1 large cell/ 1 squamous cell; in 2 current / 3 former / 2 never smokers. Erlotinib was well tolerated and no unexpected toxicities were seen. HER1/EGFR gene copy number was evaluated in 53 patients. 15 patients were FISH +, 10 of whom achieved clinical benefit (PR, or SD for ≥12 weeks). Only 5 of 38 FISH - patients had clinical benefit. FISH + patients achieved a longer median time to progression (137 vs 43 days; p = 0.00011; HR 0.35) as well as overall survival (226 vs 115 days; p = 0.3221, HR 0.722). Conclusion: In this study, increased HER1/EGFR gene copy number was associated with a better outcome on erlotinib therapy. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
Random gene tagging was used to obtain new mutants of the marine cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp. PCC7002, with defects in the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM). Two of these mutants, K22 and A41, showed poor growth at limiting CO2. Isolation and sequencing of a 6. 6 kb genomic region revealed the existence of five potential protein-coding regions, all arranged in the same transcriptional direction. These regions code for an RbcR homologue, NdhF3 (subunit 5 of type 1 NAD(P)H dehydrogenase; NDH-1 complex), NdhD3 (subunit 4 of NDH-1), ORF427 and ORF133 (hypothetical proteins). Insertional mutants in ndhD3, ndhF3 and ORF427, like A41 and K22, were all incapable of inducing high-affinity CO2 uptake and were not fully capable of inducing high-affinity HCO3- transport. ndhD3 and ndhF3 mutants displayed P700 re-reduction rates identical to wild-type cells, suggesting that NdhD3 is part of a specific NDH-1 complex that is not involved in photosynthetic cyclic electron transport. Thus, it is feasible that NdhD3, NdhF3 and ORF427 might form part of a novel NDH-1 complex located on the cytoplasmic membrane and involved in tightly coupled energization of high-affinity CO2 transport. The possibility of multiple, functionally distinct NDH-1 complexes in cyanobacteria is discussed.

Abstract
The photoreduction of the secondary PSI electron acceptor A1 in vivo has recently been detected via X-band EPR spectroscopy in intact spinach chloroplasts and in marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus PCC 7002 [Klughammer, C., and Pace, R. J. (1997) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1318, 133-144]. A further study of the A1- EPR spectrum of Synechococcus PCC 7002 at room temperature with higher-field resolution revealed partially resolved hyperfine structure which was dominated by 0.4 mT splittings of three equivalent protons. The hyperfine splitting was not significantly affected by incubation of the cyanobacteria in 2H2O medium for 20 h, but was absent in fully deuterated cyanobacteria that were grown in 2H2O medium. Anisotropic g-factors consistent with a phylloquinone radical were derived by spectra simulation. Biosynthetic protonation of quinones via the CH3 donor L-methionine in deuterated cells maintained hyperfine structure in the A1- spectrum, indicating the incorporation of CH3 groups in 60% of the deuterated, photoactive A1 molecules. Conversely, biosynthetic quinone deuteration via L-[methyl-d3]methionine in protonated cells led to the loss of the 0. 4 mT splittings in 54% of the A1 molecules. These observations confirm the conclusion of Heathcote et al. [(1996) Biochemistry 35, 6644-6650] of the identity of EPR-detected, photoreduced A1- in vivo with a phylloquinone (vitamin K1) radical in PSI. The partially resolved hyperfine structure of the A1- spectrum indicates an altered spin distribution in the bound vitamin K1- radical in vivo compared to that of unbound vitamin K1- in vitro.

Abstract
After stimulation with ATP and in the absence of divalent cations, isolated barely mesophyll vacuoles exhibited massive solute fluxes across the tonoplast, measured either as efflux of endogenous solutes or as uptake of radioactive-labeled compounds. Transported solutes were ions (particularly K+, NO3-, Cl-) and amino acids (for example, ala, arg, asp, gln, leu, met). Addition of Mg2+ in excess of added ATP inhibited fluxes of inorganic ions and of positively charged amino acids, but not, or to a smaller extent, those of neutral amino acids. Thus, Mg2+ increased the specificity of the carrier for amino acids such as alanine and glutamine. All ATP-stimulated transport processes were sensitive towards inhibition by lipophilic amino acids, for example by leucine and phenylalanine. After stimulation with sulfhydryl reagents, the inhibitory properties of Mg2+ and lipophilic amino acids were lost. These data concur with the hypothesis of a single transporter which exhibits a channel-like structure with a low degree of substrate selectivity in the absence of Mg2+, and which functions as a neutral amino acid carrier in the presence of Mg2+.

Abstract
A potassium-specific tonoplast channel was identified by reconstitution of tonoplast polypeptides into planar lipid bilayer membranes. Highly purified tonoplast membranes were solubilized in Triton X-100-containing buffer and fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography. The protein fractions were assayed for ion channel activity in a planar bilayer system, and the potassium channel was routinely recovered in specific fractions corresponding to an apparent molecular mass of 80 kDa. In symmetrical electrolyte solutions of 100 mM potassium chloride, the potassium channel had a single-channel conductance of 72 pS. Substates of the channel with conductances of 17, 33 and 52 pS were frequently observed. After identification of the channel in low or high KCl, addition of sodium acetate or sodium chloride caused only insignificant conductance changes. This result suggested that the channel was not or little permeable for sodium or chloride, whereas it had similar single-channel conductance for rubidium and caesium ions as compared with potassium ions. The channel is presumably responsible for the equilibration of potassium between the vacuole and the cytosol. The role of the channel in the physiology of the barley cell under salt stress is discussed.

Abstract
Vacuolar ion channels were characterized after reconstitution into planar lipid bilayers. (1) Channel activity was observed after incorporation of tonoplast-enriched microsomal membranes, purified tonoplast membranes or of solubilized tonoplast proteins. (2) Channels of varying single-channel conductances were detected after reconstitution. In symmetrical 100 mmol l-1 KCl, conductances between 1 and 110 pS were frequently measured; the largest number of independent reconstitution events was seen for single-channel conductances of 16-25 pS (28 experiments), 30-42 pS (26), 49-56 pS (15) and 64-81 pS (15). Channel current usually increased linearly with voltage. (3) In asymmetrical solutions, cation-, non-selective and, for the first time for the tonoplast, anion-selective channels were detected. Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of channel opening was not observed in our reconstitution system. (4) Permeability was also observed for Cl-, NO3-, SO4(2-) and phosphate. (5) After fractionation of tonoplast proteins by size exclusion chromatography, ion channel activity was recovered in specific fractions. (6) Some of these fractions catalyzed sulfate transport after reconstitution into liposomes. The results suggest that different channels are active at the tonoplast membrane at a larger number than has been concluded from previous work.
