Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based quantitative phosphoproteomics has been widely used to detect thousands of protein phosphorylation modifications simultaneously from the biological specimens. However, the complicated procedures for analyzing phosphoproteomics data has become a bottleneck to widening its application. METHODS Here, we develop PhosMap, a versatile and scalable tool to accomplish phosphoproteomics data analysis. A standardized phosphorylation data format was created for data analyses, from data preprocessing to downstream bioinformatic analyses such as dimension reduction, differential phosphorylation analysis, kinase activity, survival analysis, and so on. For better usability, we distribute PhosMap as a Docker image for easy local deployment upon any of Windows, Linux, and Mac system. RESULTS The source code is deposited at https://github.com/BADD-XMU/PhosMap. A free PhosMap webserver (https://huggingface.co/spaces/Bio-Add/PhosMap), with easy-to-follow fashion of dashboards, is curated for interactive data analysis. CONCLUSIONS PhosMap fills the technical gap of large-scale phosphorylation research by empowering researchers to process their own phosphoproteomics data expediently and efficiently, and facilitates better data interpretation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative proteomics is an indispensable tool in life science research. However, there is a lack of reference materials for evaluating the reproducibility of label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based measurements among different instruments and laboratories. RESULTS Here, we develop the Quartet standard as a proteome reference material with built-in truths, and distribute the same aliquots to 15 laboratories with nine conventional LC-MS/MS platforms across six cities in China. Relative abundance of over 12,000 proteins on 816 mass spectrometry files are obtained and compared for reproducibility among the instruments and laboratories to ultimately generate proteomics benchmark datasets. There is a wide dynamic range of proteomes spanning about 7 orders of magnitude, and the injection order has marked effects on quantitative instead of qualitative characteristics. CONCLUSION Overall, the Quartet offers valuable standard materials and data resources for improving the quality control of proteomic analyses as well as the reproducibility and reliability of research findings.

Abstract
Although diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of the end-stage renal disease, the exact regulation mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we integrated the transcriptomics and proteomics profiles of glomeruli isolated from 50 biopsy-proven DN patients and 25 controls to investigate the latest findings about DN pathogenesis. First, 1152 genes exhibited differential expression at the mRNA or protein level, and 364 showed significant association. These strong correlated genes were divided into four different functional modules. Moreover, a regulatory network of the transcription factors (TFs)-target genes (TGs) was constructed, with 30 TFs upregulated at the protein levels and 265 downstream TGs differentially expressed at the mRNA levels. These TFs are the integration centers of several signal transduction pathways and have tremendous therapeutic potential for regulating the aberrant production of TGs and the pathological process of DN. Furthermore, 29 new DN-specific splice-junction peptides were discovered with high confidence; these peptides may play novel functions in the pathological course of DN. So, our in-depth integrative transcriptomics-proteomics analysis provided deeper insights into the pathogenesis of DN and opened the potential avenue for finding new therapeutic interventions. MS raw files were deposited into the proteomeXchange with the dataset identifier PXD040617.

Abstract
Clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS)2 tests have enabled treatment recommendations for cancer patients with driver gene mutations. Targeted therapy options for patients without driver gene mutations are currently unavailable. Herein, we performed NGS and proteomics tests on 169 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)3 samples of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC, 65),4 colorectal cancers (CRC, 61),5 thyroid carcinomas (THCA, 14),6 gastric cancers (GC, 2),7 gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST, 11),8 and malignant melanomas (MM, 6).9 Of the 169 samples, NGS detected 14 actionable mutated genes in 73 samples, providing treatment options for 43% of the patients. Proteomics identified 61 actionable clinical drug targets approved by the FDA or undergoing clinical trials in 122 samples, providing treatment options for 72% of the patients. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MEK)10 inhibitor induced the overexpression of MEK1 (Map2k1) to block lung tumor growth in mice. Therefore, protein overexpression is a potentially feasible indicator for guiding targeted therapies. Collectively, our analysis suggests that combining NGS and proteomics (genoproteomics) could expand the targeted treatment options to 85% of cancer patients.

Abstract
AIM To explore the effectiveness and feasibility of machine-learning models based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics features in differentiating intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (ISFT) from angiomatous meningioma (AM) and stratifying ISFT histologically. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study retrospectively recruited 268 patients with a histological diagnosis of ISFT (n=120) or AM (n=148), and 116 of the ISFT patients were used for stratified analysis of histological grade. The radiomics features were extracted from axial T1-weighted imaging (WI), T2WI and contrast-enhanced T1WI sequences. All patients were assigned randomly to the training group and test group in a ratio of 7:3. The models were optimised by 10-fold cross-validation in the training group, and the independent test group was used for further testing of the models. The performances of machine-learning models based on radiomics, clinical, and fusion features in predicting and stratifying ISFT were evaluated. RESULTS ISFT and AM differed significantly in terms of age, tumour shape, enhancement pattern, and margin. There was no significant difference in the clinical characteristics between World Health Organization (WHO) grade II and WHO grade III ISFT. When used to differentiate ISFT from AM, the area under the curve (AUC) values of the machine-learning models based on radiomics, clinical, and fusion features in the test group were 0.917, 0.923 and 0.950, respectively. When used for histological stratification of ISFT, the model based on the radiomics signature achieved an AUC value of 0.786 in the test group. CONCLUSIONS Machine-learning models can contribute in the prediction and histological stratification of ISFT non-invasively, which can help clinical differential diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complex disease involving the upregulation of many inflammation-related proteins. Alternative polyadenylation (APA), a crucial post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism, has been proven to play vital roles in many inflammatory diseases. However, it is largely unknown whether and how APA exerts function in DN. METHODS We performed transcriptomics and proteomics analysis of glomeruli samples isolated from 50 biopsy-proven DN patients and 25 control subjects. DaPars and QAPA algorithms were adopted to identify APA events from RNA-seq data. The qRT-PCR analysis was conducted to verify 3'UTR length alteration. Short and long 3'UTRs isoforms were also overexpressed in podocytes under hyperglycemia condition for examining protein expression. RESULTS We detected transcriptome-wide 3'UTR APA events in DN, and found that APA-mediated 3'UTR lengthening of genes (APA genes) increased their expression at protein but not mRNA level. Increased protein level of 3'UTR lengthening gene was validated in podocytes under hyperglycemia condition. Pathway enrichment analysis showed that APA genes were enriched in inflammation-related biological processes including endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways, NF-κB signaling and autophagy. Further bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that 3'UTR APA of genes probably altered the binding sites for RNA-binding proteins, thus enhancing protein translation. CONCLUSION This study revealed for the first time that 3'UTR lengthening of APA genes contributed to the progression of DN by elevating the translation of corresponding proteins, providing new insight and a rich resource for investigating DN mechanisms.

Abstract
Chromosomal instability (CIN) covers approximately 65 to 70% of colorectal cancer patients and plays an essential role in cancer progression. However, the molecular features and therapeutic strategies related to those patients are still controversial. R-loop binding proteins (RLBPs) exert significant roles in transcription and replication. Here, integrative colorectal cancer proteogenomic analysis identified two RLBPs subtypes correlated with distinct prognoses. Cluster I (CI), represented by high expression of RLBPs, was associated with the CIN phenotype. While Cluster II (CII) with the worst prognosis and low expression of RLBPs was composed of a high percentage of patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma or right-sided colon cancer. The molecular feature analysis revealed that the active RNA processing, ribosome synthesis, and aberrant DNA damage repair were shown in CI, a high inflammatory signaling pathway, and lymphocyte infiltration was enriched in CII. In addition, we revealed 42 tumor-associated RLBPs proteins. The CI with high expression of tumor-associated proteins was sensitive to drugs targeting genome integrity and EGFR in both cell and organoid models. Thus, our study unveils a significant molecular association of the CIN phenotype with RLBPs, and also provides a powerful resource for further functional exploration of RLBPs in cancer progression and therapeutic application.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with a high mortality rate worldwide and lacks effective methods for prognosis prediction. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer, but only a subgroup of patients benefits from it. Here, we used 833 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded resected tumor samples from patients with TNM stage II/III GC and established a proteomic subtyping workflow using 100 deep-learned features. Two proteomic subtypes (S-I and S-II) with overall survival differences were identified. S-I has a better survival rate and is sensitive to chemotherapy. Patients in the S-I who received adjuvant chemotherapy had a significant improvement in the 5-year overall survival rate compared with patients who received surgery alone (65.3% vs 52.6%; log-rank P = 0.014), but no improvement was observed in the S-II (54% vs 51%; log-rank P = 0.96). These results were verified in an independent validation set. Furthermore, we also evaluated the superiority and scalability of the deep learning-based workflow in cancer molecular subtyping, exhibiting its great utility and potential in prognosis prediction and therapeutic decision-making.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Youth with type 2 diabetes might have suboptimal peak bone mass, but it is unknown whether similar effects are evident in youth with prediabetes. Results from this study suggest that diabetes-related effects on peak bone mass likely occur before disease onset, and involve the muscle-bone unit. INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes might adversely influence bone health around the age of peak bone mass, but it is unknown whether diabetes-related effects on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are evident in youth with prediabetes. We compared age-related trends in aBMD and associations between lean body mass (LBM) and aBMD between children and adolescents with prediabetes vs. normal glucose regulation. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2006) in youth ages 12-20 years (49% female, 34% black) with prediabetes (n = 267) and normal glucose regulation (n = 1664). Whole body aBMD and LBM were assessed via DXA. LBM index (LBMI) and Z-scores for aBMD and LBMI were computed. RESULTS Unadjusted between-group comparisons revealed greater mean weight and LBMI Z-scores in youth with prediabetes vs. normal glucose regulation, but similar bone Z-scores between the two groups. While accounting for differences in BMI Z-score, there was a significant interaction between prediabetes status and age with respect to whole body aBMD Z-score (P < 0.05), such that children with prediabetes tended to have increased aBMD but adolescents and young adults with prediabetes tended have lower aBMD. Furthermore, the positive association between LBMI and whole body aBMD was moderated in youth with prediabetes (P < 0.001), who had slightly lower whole body aBMD for a given LBMI (P = 0.068). Lumbar spine bone measures did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes-related threats to peak bone mass might occur prior to disease onset, therefore potentially impacting a considerable proportion of US youth.

Abstract
While precision medicine driven by genome sequencing has revolutionized cancer care, such as lung cancer, its impact on gastric cancer (GC) has been minimal. GC patients are routinely treated with chemotherapy, but only a fraction of them receive the clinical benefit. There is an urgent need to develop biomarkers or algorithms to select chemo-sensitive patients or apply targeted therapy. Here, we carried out retrospective analyses of 1,020 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded GC surgical resection samples from 5 hospitals and developed a mass spectrometry-based workflow for proteomic subtyping of GC. We identified two proteomic subtypes: the chemo-sensitive group (CSG) and the chemo-insensitive group (CIG) in the discovery set. The 5-year overall survival of CSG was significantly improved in patients who had received adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery compared with those who received surgery only (64.2% vs. 49.6%; Cox P-value=0.002), whereas no such improvement was observed in CIG (50.0% vs. 58.6%; Cox P-value=0.495). We validated these results in an independent validation set. Further, differential proteome analysis uncovered 9 FDA-approved drugs that may be applicable for targeted therapy of GC. A prospective study is warranted to test these findings for future GC patient care.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is highly heterogeneous and the leading cause of cancer death. Diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) is one of poor-prognosis GC subtypes with few treatment options. Genomic subtyping classifies overall gastric cancers into different subgroups that associate with prognosis and therapeutic targets, but it has not translated into clinical benefit. Proteomic subtyping with DGC may offer the potential for personalized risk stratification and treatment recommendation.
Methods: We developed a workflow using fast mass spectrometry and ConsensusClusterPlus (CCP) consensus clustering for proteomic subtyping and applied it to 99 DGC formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples.
Results: In this study, 99 FFPE tumor samples were analyzed and classified into three proteomic subtypes (DGCP1-3) based on proteome-wide data, which were significantly associated with prognosis and response to chemotherapy. DGCP1 is with the best survival and DGCP3 is with the worst survival. DGCP2 derives benefit from chemotherapy. The rest of the subtypes do not receive benefit from chemotherapy. Specific signaling pathways are enriched in the subtypes: DGCP1/innate immune system; DGCP2/metabolism of RNA plus cell cycle; DGCP3/Extracellular Matrix (ECM). The classification with subtype-specific proteins provides a roadmap for stratifying patients into subgroups in trials of chemotherapy, targeted, and immune therapies.
Conclusions: Proteomic subtyping of DGC identified three subgroups that have significant associations with distinct clinical characteristics. The DGCP subtyping can be further verified in more clinical cohorts and used to predict prognosis and recommend clinical actions in DGC treatment.

Abstract
Napabucasin (NAPA) is thought to be a potent cancer stemness inhibitor in different types of cancer cell lines. While it has shown promising activity in early phase clinical trials, two recent phase III NAPA clinical trials failed to meet the primary endpoint of overall survival. The reason for the failure is not clear, but a possible way to revive the clinical trial is to stratify patients with biomarkers that could predict NAPA response. Here, we report the identification of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) as a major determinant of NAPA efficacy. A proteomic profiling of cancer cell lines revealed that NQO1 abundance is negatively correlated with IC50; in vitro assays showed that NAPA is a substrate for NQO1, which mediates the generation of ROS that leads to cell death. Furthermore, activation of an NQO1 transcription factor NRF2 by chemicals, including an FDA approved drug, can increase the NAPA cytotoxicity. Our findings suggest a potential use of NQO1 expression as a companion diagnostic test to identify patients in future NAPA trials and a combination strategy to expand the application of NAPA-based regimens for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Liver organogenesis and development are composed of a series of complex, well-orchestrated events. Identifying key factors and pathways governing liver development will help elucidate the physiological and pathological processes including those of cancer. We conducted multidimensional omics measurements including protein, mRNA, and transcription factor (TF) DNA-binding activity for mouse liver tissues collected from embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) to postnatal week 8 (W8), encompassing major developmental stages. These data sets reveal dynamic changes of core liver functions and canonical signaling pathways governing development at both mRNA and protein levels. The TF DNA-binding activity data set highlights the importance of TF activity in early embryonic development. A comparison between mouse liver development and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proteomic profiles reveal that more aggressive tumors are characterized with the activation of early embryonic development pathways, whereas less aggressive ones maintain liver function-related pathways that are elevated in the mature liver. This work offers a panoramic view of mouse liver development and provides a rich resource to explore in-depth functional characterization.

Abstract
The lead compound acridone derivative 8a showed potent antiproliferative activity by inducing DNA damage through direct stacking with DNA bases and triggering ROS in CCRF-CEM cells. To define the chromatin alterations during DNA damage sensing and repair, a detailed quantitative map of single and coexisting histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in CCRF-CEM cells affected by 8a was performed by the Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) method on QE-plus. A total of 79 distinct and 164 coexisting histone PTMs were quantified, of which 16 distinct histone PTMs were significantly altered when comparing 8a-treated cells with vehicle control cells. The changes in histone PTMs were confirmed by Western blotting analysis for three H3 and one H4 histone markers. The up-regulated dimethylation on H3K9, H3K36, and H4K20 implied that CCRF-CEM cells might accelerate DNA damage repair to counteract the DNA lesion induced by 8a, which was verified by an increment in the 53BP1 foci localization at the damaged DNA. Most of the significantly altered PTMs were involved in transcriptional regulation, including down-regulated acetylation on H3K18, H3K27, and H3K122, and up-regulated di- and trimethylation on H3K9 and H3K27. This transcription-silencing phenomenon was associated with G2/M cell cycle arrest after 8a treatment by flow cytometry. This study shows that the DIA proteomics strategy provides a sensitive and accurate way to characterize the coexisting histone PTMs changes and their cross-talk in CCRF-CEM cells after 8a treatment. Specifically, histone PTMs rearrange transcription-silencing, and cell cycle arrest DNA damage repair may contribute to the mechanism of epigenetic response affected by 8a.

Abstract
Ligand binding to the cell surface receptors initiates signaling cascades that are commonly transduced through a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to activate a plethora of response pathways. However, tools to capture the membrane PPI network are lacking. Here, we describe a cross-linking-aided mass spectrometry workflow for isolation and identification of signal-dependent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) proteome. We performed protein cross-linking in cell culture at various time points following EGF treatment, followed by immunoprecipitation of endogenous EGFR and analysis of the associated proteins by quantitative mass spectrometry. We identified 140 proteins with high confidence during a 2 h time course by data-dependent acquisition and further validated the results by parallel reaction monitoring. A large proportion of proteins in the EGFR proteome function in endocytosis and intracellular protein transport. The EGFR proteome was highly dynamic with distinct temporal behavior; 10 proteins that appeared in all time points constitute the core proteome. Functional characterization showed that loss of the FYVE domain-containing proteins altered the EGFR intracellular distribution but had a minor effect on EGFR proteome or signaling. Thus, our results suggest that the EGFR proteome include functional regulators that influence EGFR signaling and bystanders that are captured as the components of endocytic vesicles. The high-resolution spatiotemporal information of these molecules facilitates the delineation of many pathways that could determine the strength and duration of the signaling, as well as the location and destination of the receptor.

Abstract
The mammalian stomach is structurally highly diverse and its organ functionality critically depends on a normal embryonic development. Although there have been several studies on the morphological changes during stomach development, a system-wide analysis of the underlying molecular changes is lacking. Here, we present a comprehensive, temporal proteome and transcriptome atlas of the mouse stomach at multiple developmental stages. Quantitative analysis of 12,108 gene products allows identifying three distinct phases based on changes in proteins and RNAs and the gain of stomach functions on a longitudinal time scale. The transcriptome indicates functionally important isoforms relevant to development and identifies several functionally unannotated novel splicing junction transcripts that we validate at the peptide level. Importantly, many proteins differentially expressed in stomach development are also significantly overexpressed in diffuse-type gastric cancer. Overall, our study provides a resource to understand stomach development and its connection to gastric cancer tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Basal autophagy is tightly regulated by transcriptional and epigenetic factors to maintain cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of cardiac autophagy is associated with heart diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy, but the mechanism governing cardiac autophagy is rarely identified. To analyze the in vivo function of miR-199a in cardiac autophagy and cardiac hypertrophy, we generated cardiac-specific miR-199a transgenic mice and showed that overexpression of miR-199a was sufficient to inhibit cardiomyocyte autophagy and induce cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. miR-199a impaired cardiomyocyte autophagy in a cell-autonomous manner by targeting glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex signaling. Overexpression of autophagy related gene 5 (Atg5) attenuated the hypertrophic effects of miR-199a overexpression on cardiomyocytes, and activation of autophagy using rapamycin was sufficient to restore cardiac autophagy and decrease cardiac hypertrophy in miR-199a transgenic mice. These results reveal a novel role of miR-199a as a key regulator of cardiac autophagy, suggesting that targeting miRNAs controlling autophagy as a potential therapeutic strategy for cardiac disease.

Abstract
While searching for oligosaccharides containing rhamnose residues in the endopolygalacturonase (EPG) digest of saponified citrus pectin, we found several oligomers containing, in addition to galacturonic acid, a sugar previously unreported in pectin. The 1- and 2-D 1H NMR spectra of the oligosaccharides were consistent with the sugar being a uronic acid with its 2- and 3-hydroxyls being axial and 4-hydroxyl being equatorial. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry indicated that the oligomers consisted solely of uronic acids. Reduction of the uronic acids in the oligosaccharides converted them to galactose and altrose. The altrose was found to be the L enantiomer by comparison of its trimethylsilyl (-)-2-butyl glycosides to those of authentic D-altrose and a racemic mixture. The sugar was not found in oligosaccharides prepared from EPG digestion of citrus pectin deesterified with pectin methylesterase rather than saponification. Thus, it appears that during saponification, a small proportion of the methylesterified galacturonic acid residues in pectins is epimerized at C-5 leading to formation of L-altruronic acid residues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Both human papillomavirus (HPV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) are common anogenital viruses and likely co-infect the epithelium in vivo. However, whereas HPVs are positively associated with cervical cancer, AAV appears to be negatively associated. In tissue culture, AAV-encoded Rep78--which is essential for AAV--inhibits gene expression and oncogenic transformation by HPV-16/18 and bovine papillomavirus type 1. Here we observed whether the HPV-16 E7 oncoprotein might recognize and bind Rep78. Further, upon finding Rep78-E7 binding, we investigated some of the potential downstream effects such an interaction might have. E7 is capable of recognizing a variety of proteins, including RB105, TATA box-binding protein (TBP), TBP-associated factor (TAF)(II)110, E2F, cyclins A and D, and c-jun. Some of these interactions are likely responsible for E7's cancer-promoting activity. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS Rep78-E7 interaction was investigated in vitro by West(far)-Western and affinity chromatography analysis and in vivo in living yeast by the GAL4 two-hybrid cDNA assay. Mapping of the E7 binding domain within Rep78 was carried out using a series of amino- and carboxy-truncated Rep78 proteins in a West(far)-Western assay. Downstream effects of the interaction were analyzed by competitive affinity chromatography (protein-protein) and competitive electrophoretic mobility shift assay (protein-DNA). RESULTS E7 and Rep78 were found to interact both in vitro and in vivo (yeast) in all assays attempted. The E7 binding domain within Rep78 was found to reside within amino acids 121-370. Regarding downstream effects of this interaction, Rep78 was found to mildly inhibit E7-TAF(II)110 and E7-RB105 interaction in vitro but to have little affect on E7-TBP interaction. Finally, it was found that E7 was able to affect Rep78's interaction with AAV's terminal repeat (TR) DNA in vitro, reducing the formation of the largest sized Rep78-TR complexes in a dosage-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that the Rep78-E7 interaction may have repercussions for both viruses. The Rep78-E7 interaction may be a second mechanism, in addition to Rep78 regulation of the p97 promoter, by which AAV inhibits HPV-16 oncogenic transformation. These data also suggest that HPV-16 may affect the AAV life cycle by altering Rep78-TR interaction.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) infection is positively associated with cervical cancer, whereas adeno-associated virus (AAV) infection is negatively associated with this same cancer. In earlier studies these two virus types have been shown to directly interact, with AAV inhibiting or enhancing papillomavirus functions depending upon the specific circumstances. One defined interaction between these two viruses is the ability of the AAV Rep78 major regulatory protein to inhibit gene expression of the E6 promoter of BPV-1 (bovine papillomavirus type 1) and HPV types 16 and 18. As Rep78 is a DNA binding transcription factor, we considered whether Rep78 might bind HPV-16 DNA. Here, Rep78 is demonstrated to bind a 44-base pair region (nucleotides 14-56) within the HPV-16 p97 promoter using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay. This region is important for HPV-16 because it includes functional Sp1 and E2 protein binding motifs as well as part of the origin of replication. Furthermore, two Rep78 amino acid substitution mutants, at positions 77 or 64-65, were identified that did not recognize p97 DNA. Both of these Rep78 mutants were found to be defective for inhibition of p97 promoter activity in HeLa and T-47D nuclear extracts in vitro, in a transient chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay, as well as defective for full inhibition of HPV-16-directed focus formation. These data, taken together, strongly suggest that the Rep78-p97 promoter interaction is at least partially responsible for Rep78-mediated inhibition of HPV-16. Finally, the finding that Rep78 specifically recognizes p97 DNA is surprising because the p97 promoter region contains no GAGC motifs, the core motif for Rep78 recognition. These data suggest that the p97 promoter may represent a new prototypical DNA target type for Rep78.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 (HPV 16) and HPV type 18 (HPV 18) are implicated in the induction and progression of the majority of cervical cancers. Since the E6 and E7 oncoproteins of these viruses are expressed in these lesions, such proteins might be potential tumor-specific targets for immunotherapy. In this report, we demonstrate that recombinant, full-length E7-pulsed autologous dendritic cells (DC) can elicit a specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against autologous tumor target cells in three patients with HPV 16- or HPV 18-positive cervical cancer. E7-specific CTL populations expressed strong cytolytic activity against autologous tumor cells, did not lyse autologous concanavalin A-treated lymphoblasts or autologous Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL), and showed low levels of cytotoxicity against natural killer cell-sensitive K562 cells. Cytotoxicity against autologous tumor cells could be significantly blocked by anti-HLA class I (W6/32) and anti-CD11a/LFA-1 antibodies. Phenotypically, all CTL populations were CD3(+)/CD8(+), with variable levels of CD56 expression. CTL induced by E7-pulsed DC were also highly cytotoxic against an allogeneic HLA-A2(+) HPV 16-positive matched cell line (CaSki). In addition, we show that specific lymphoproliferative responses by autologous CD4(+) T cells can also be induced by E7-pulsed autologus DC. E7-specific CD4(+) T cells proliferated in response to E7-pulsed LCL but not unpulsed LCL, and this response could be blocked by anti-HLA class II antibody. Finally, with two-color flow cytometric analysis of intracellular cytokine expression at the single-cell level, a marked Th1-like bias (as determined by the frequency of gamma interferon- and interleukin 4-expressing cells) was observable for both CD8(+) and CD4(+) E7-specific lymphocyte populations. Taken together, these data demonstrate that full-length E7-pulsed DC can induce both E7-specific CD4(+) T-cell proliferative responses and strong CD8(+) CTL responses capable of lysing autologous naturally HPV-infected cancer cells in patients with cervical cancer. These results may have important implications for the treatment of cervical cancer patients with active or adoptive immunotherapy.

Abstract
In many cases, samples for capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) are derivatized with a chromophore or fluorophore to enhance their detectability. To ensure efficient labeling, a large excess of labeling agent is often used, which leads to the presence of a large peak for unreacted reagent. Here we report that excess reagent can be reacted with "scavenger beads" carrying an appropriate functional group to remove it from the sample solution. We present examples of removal of aminonaphthalene mono-, di-, and trisulfonic acid from mixtures in which they were used to label mono- or oligosaccharides by reductive amination. Aldehyde-containing scavenger beads were made by oxidizing Sephadex G-50 beads with sodium periodate. These were added to the labeling reaction mixtures after the reductive amination of the sugars was complete. Almost complete elimination of the peak from the labeling agent could be achieved.

Abstract
Commercial citrus pectin containing galacturonic acid and rhamnose in a ratio of approximately 40:1 was saponified and then exhaustively digested with endopolygalacturonase (EPG). The products were separated by ultrafiltration into low-molecular-weight (LMW) and high-molecular-weight (HMW) fractions. The LMW fraction accounted for 80% of the starting material, but for only 10% of the total rhamnose. The molar ratio of galacturonic acid to rhamnose of the LMW fraction was 236, suggesting that very few small Rha-containing oligomers were generated by the EPG digestion. No distinct Rha-containing oligomers were found by various chromatographic analyses of the LMW fraction. The HMW fraction, which only accounted for 10% by weight of the starting pectin, contained more than 85% of the rhamnose. The ratio of GalA to Rha in the HMW fraction was 1.7:1 and partial acid hydrolysis of this fraction produced a series of oligomers consisting of GalA-Rha repeating units, suggesting that it contained rhamnogalacturonan, which has a backbone composed of GalA-Rha disaccharide repeating units. The HMW fraction also contained large amounts of arabinose and galactose, which probably originated from side chains linked to some of the rhamnose residues. We propose that commercial citrus pectin is composed of two regions: the predominant region consists of chains of uninterrupted 1,4-linked alpha-D-GalA residues with between 60-70% of the residues methyl esterified; and the other region consists of rhamnogalacturonan with a backbone composed of GalA-Rha disaccharide repeating units and neutral sugar side chains.

Abstract
Rep78 is the major regulatory protein of adenoassociated virus (AAV). Rep78 is able to transcriptionally regulate all three of AAV's promoters, as well as a variety of heterologous promoters. In an attempt to understand the mechanism of action by which Rep78 is able to regulate gene expression, we are investigating Rep78's possible protein-protein interaction with basal transcription factors. One such critical basal transcription factor is the human TATA binding protein, TBP. TBP is a core factor required for the assemblage of the transcription initiation complex, TFIID. In this report an in vitro interaction between Rep78 and TBP was demonstrated in three different assay systems, including West(far)-Western analysis, electrophoretic mobility shift assay-supershift, and coimmunoprecipitation. Furthermore, using the yeast GAL4 two-hybrid system, an in vivo interaction between Rep78 and TBP was also demonstrated. Further still, the amino half of Rep78 is shown to be needed for Rep78-TBP interaction. Mutations within this region of Rep78 are known to be defective for transcriptional regulatory ability, suggesting a biological role for this interaction. Thus, Rep78 may regulate transcription through binding and regulating TBP's numerous interactions. Furthermore, as Rep78 is known to bind at least one other transcription factor (Sp 1) and likely others, Rep78 may function as a TBP-associated factor in an altered TFIID-like complex.

Abstract
4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major electrophilic byproduct of lipid peroxidation, is mutagenic and cytotoxic. The two pairs of HNE-derived diastereomeric 1,N2-propanodeoxyguanosine 3'-monophosphate adducts were synthesized from reaction of HNE with 2'-deoxyguanosine 3'-monophosphate. After HPLC separation, these adducts were characterized by UV-visible absorption and negative ion electrospray ionization MS/MS analysis. To further characterize the structures, these adducts were dephosphorylated to the corresponding HNE-modified deoxyguanosine adducts and their HPLC retention times and UV spectra were compared with those of the synthetic standards prepared from reaction of HNE with 2'-deoxyguanosine. Separation of these adducts by 32P-postlabeling/HPLC was developed. Reaction of HNE with calf thymus DNA resulted in only one pair of diastereomeric adducts, with one adduct predominantly formed with a modification level of 1.2 +/- 0.5 adducts/10(7) nucleotides.
