Abstract
BACKGROUND When treating older women with breast cancer, life expectancy is an important consideration. ASCO recommends calculating 10-year mortality probabilities to inform treatment decisions. One useful tool is the Schonberg index, which predicts risk-based all-cause 10-year mortality. We investigated the use of this index in women aged ≥65 years with breast cancer in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). METHODS We calculated 10-year mortality risk scores for 2,549 WHI participants with breast cancer ("cases") and 2,549 age-matched breast cancer-free participants ("controls") using Schonberg index risk scoring. Risk scores were grouped into quintiles for comparisons. Risk-stratified observed mortality rates and 95% confidence intervals were compared across cases and controls. Observed 10-year mortality rates in cases and controls were also compared with Schonberg index-based predicted 10-year mortality rates. RESULTS Compared with controls, cases were more often white (P=.005), had higher income and education levels (P<.001 for both), more often lived with their husband/partner (P<.001), scored higher on subjective health/happiness (P<.001), and needed less assistance in activities of daily living (P<.001). Participants with breast cancer had similar risk-stratified 10-year mortality rates compared with controls (34% vs 33%, respectively). Stratified results showed that cases had slightly higher mortality rates than controls in the lowest risk quintile and lower mortality rates in the 2 highest risk quintiles. Observed mortality rates in cases and controls were similar to Schonberg index-predicted mortality, with model c-indexes of 0.71 and 0.76, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Among women aged ≥65 years with incident breast cancer, the Schonberg index-based risk-stratified 10-year mortality rates were similar to those in women without breast cancer, demonstrating a similar performance of the index among both populations. Along with other health measures, prognostic indexes can help predict survival among older women with breast cancer and support geriatric oncology guidelines that promote using life expectancy calculation tools for shared decision-making.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A subset of people with long-standing type 1 diabetes (T1D) appears to be protected from microvascular and macrovascular complications. Previous studies have focused on improved abilities to respond to glucose and its downstream effects as protective mechanisms. It is unclear whether lipoproteins play a role in the vascular health of these people. We therefore determined whether HDL particle concentration, size, function, and/or protein composition associate with protection from vascular complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied two independent cross-sectional cohorts with T1D: the T1D Exchange Living Biobank (n = 47) and the Joslin Medalist Study (n = 100). Some of the subjects had vascular complications, whereas others never exhibited vascular complications, despite an average duration of diabetes in the cohorts of 45 years. We assessed HDL particle size and concentration by calibrated ion mobility analysis, the HDL proteome by targeted mass spectrometry, and HDL function ex vivo by quantifying cholesterol efflux capacity and inhibition of monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. RESULTS In both cohorts, people without vascular complications exhibited significantly higher concentrations of medium-sized HDL particles (M-HDL) independently of total and HDL cholesterol levels. While no consistent differences in HDL functions were observed ex vivo, people without vascular complications had higher levels of HDL-associated paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme that inhibits atherosclerosis in animal models. CONCLUSIONS Elevated concentrations of M-HDL particles and elevated levels of HDL-associated PON1 may contribute to long-term protection from the vascular complications of diabetes by pathways that are independent of total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC) continues to rise in incidence, with prognosis remaining poor despite advances in multimodality therapy. Several novel target agents are now being explored as an option for treating EAC. One potential target is heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a chaperone protein that is involved in many diverse biological processes including cell signaling, proliferation, and survival. Many of the client proteins are known oncoproteins that allow Hsp90 to stabilize cancer cell growth by supporting proliferation and preventing apoptosis. The isoform, Hsp90β, is constituently expressed, while Hsp90α is inducible during times of stress, with expression increased 2-10 fold in cancers. Our hypothesis is that Hsp90 inhibition, in combination with standard chemotherapeutic drugs, will cause EAC cancer cells to be more susceptible to apoptosis and reduce the rate of proliferation.
Methods: EAC cell lines, OE19 and OE33, were used to evaluate the effects of Hsp90 inhibitor, AUY-922, in cancer cell growth and apoptosis. ELISA of WST-1 and BrdU were used to determine the effective dosage and assess proliferation. Pathway inhibition was evaluated by Western Blot of Hsp90α and Hsp70. OE19, OE33, and patient samples of EAC tumor and gastroesophageal reflux tissue were used to assess the gene expression of Hsp90 and several client protein pathways by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results: The ED50 of AUY-922 was determined to be 30ηM. A combination of chemotherapeutic drugs, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), along with AUY-922 showed significantly decreased proliferation compared to untreated and single agent treated cell lines. Western blot demonstrated that Hsp90 was inhibited by AUY-922 treatment, by a decrease in expression of Hsp90α, and an increase in the expression of Hsp70. RT-PCR in the cell line treatment groups showed an impact on many client oncoproteins involved in cancer cell survival and Hsp90 was shown to be upregulated in tumor samples when compared to normal GERD samples.
Conclusion: The use of Hsp90 inhibitor, AUY-922, leads to reduced Hsp90 pathway expression, resulting in a degradation of many Hsp90 client proteins involved in cancer genesis. Cell proliferation was decreased with AUY-922 treatment, with the greatest demonstrated effect when used in combination with cisplatin and 5-Fu. Therefore, Hsp90 inhibition may have an application in multimodal EAC chemotherapy.

Abstract
New mapping approaches construct ordered restriction maps from fluorescence microscope images of individual, endonuclease-digested DNA molecules. In optical mapping, molecules are elongated and fixed onto derivatized glass surfaces, preserving biochemical accessibility and fragment order after enzymatic digestion. Measurements of relative fluorescence intensity and apparent length determine the sizes of restriction fragments, enabling ordered map construction without electrophoretic analysis. The optical mapping system reported here is based on our physical characterization of an effect using fluid flows developed within tiny, evaporating droplets to elongate and fix DNA molecules onto derivatized surfaces. Such evaporation-driven molecular fixation produces well elongated molecules accessible to restriction endonucleases, and notably, DNA polymerase I. We then developed the robotic means to grid DNA spots in well defined arrays that are digested and analyzed in parallel. To effectively harness this effect for high-throughput genome mapping, we developed: (i) machine vision and automatic image acquisition techniques to work with fixed, digested molecules within gridded samples, and (ii) Bayesian inference approaches that are used to analyze machine vision data, automatically producing high-resolution restriction maps from images of individual DNA molecules. The aggregate significance of this work is the development of an integrated system for mapping small insert clones allowing biochemical data obtained from engineered ensembles of individual molecules to be automatically accumulated and analyzed for map construction. These approaches are sufficiently general for varied biochemical analyses of individual molecules using statistically meaningful population sizes.

Abstract
Exposure of rabbit peritoneal exudate macrophages (PEM) or whole blood to picomolar concentrations of LPS induces adaptation or hyporesponsiveness to LPS. Because of the importance of plasma LPS-binding protein (LBP) and the macrophage cell membrane protein CD14 in recognition of LPS, we examined the effect of LBP on LPS-induced adaptation in PEM. PEM exposed to LPS in the presence of LBP for 8 h were markedly less responsive to subsequent stimulation by LPS than monocytes/macrophages (M phi) adapted in the absence of LBP. LPS-induced expression of TNF was sharply reduced in LBP-LPS-adapted PEM, but in contrast these cells remained fully responsive to Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan. We considered that specific hyporesponsiveness in LPS-adapted M phi or in blood monocytes could be due to decreased expression of CD14 or diminished binding of LBP-LPS complexes to CD14. However, flow cytometry analysis revealed only minimal reduction of CD14 expression or CD14-dependent binding of a fluorescent LPS derivative when normo- and hyporesponsive cells were compared. These results show that complexes of LPS and LBP are more effective than LPS alone in inducing adaptation to LPS, and LPS-induced hyporesponsiveness probably results from changes in cellular elements distinct from CD14 that are involved in either LPS recognition or LPS-specific signal transduction.

Abstract
LPS-binding protein (LBP) binds with high affinity (Kd approximately equal to 10(-9) M) to lipid A of LPS isolated from rough (R)- or smooth (S)-form Gram-negative bacteria as well as to lipid A partial structures such as precursor IVA. To define the role of LBP in regulating responses to LPS we have examined TNF release in rabbit peritoneal exudate macrophages (M phi) stimulated with LPS or with complete or partial lipid A preparations in the presence or absence of LBP. In the presence of LBP, M phi showed increased sensitivity to S- and R-form LPS as well as synthetic lipid A. Compared with LPS or lipid A, up to 1000-fold greater concentrations of partial lipid A structures were required to induce TNF production. However, consistent with our previous observations that these structures bind to LBP, TNF production was increased in the presence of LBP. In contrast, LBP did not enhance or inhibit TNF production produced by heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus, peptidoglycan isolated from S. aureus cell walls, or PMA. Potentiated M phi responsiveness to LPS was observed with as little as 1 ng LBP/ml. Heat-denatured LBP (which no longer binds LPS), BPI (an homologous LPS-binding protein isolated from neutrophils), or other serum proteins were without effect. LBP-treated M phi also showed a more rapid induction of cytokine mRNA (TNF and IL-1 beta), higher steady-state mRNA levels and increased TNF mRNA stability. These data provide additional evidence that LBP is part of a highly specific recognition system controlling M phi responses to LPS. The effects of LBP are lipid A dependent and importantly, extend to LPS preparations isolated from bacteria of R- and S-form phenotype.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) has been shown to be the principal mediator of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin-induced shock. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that TNF-alpha plays a beneficial role in controlling bacterial infections when multiplication of the microorganism is required to kill the host. Using an infant rat model of Neisseria meningitidis infection, we found that blood TNF-alpha concentration reaches a peak three hours after intraperitoneal injection of 3 x 10(6) bacteria. Thereafter, the level of TNF-alpha decreased and was undetectable six to eight hours after infection. A correlation was observed between the magnitude of initial TNF-alpha response and a fatal outcome. Pretreatment of the animals with polyclonal anti-TNF antiserum significantly reduced mortality relative to animals pretreated with control serum. However, pretreatment of animals with anti-TNF antibody did not alter the bacterial invasion of the cerebrospinal fluid. Injection of heat-killed bacteria did not cause death and induced lower TNF-alpha levels than the same number of live bacteria. This excludes the possibility that the role of TNF-alpha is to mediate a shock induced by the endotoxin component of the bacterial inoculum. These results indicate that TNF-alpha has a deleterious effect in this model of bacteraemia. Identification of the critical factors that determine the action of TNF-alpha during lethal bacteraemia will lead to a better understanding of these diseases and the development of appropriate therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
During Gram-negative endotoxemia, precise regulation of monocyte/macrophage (M phi) responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is critical to preserve host defense while avoiding complications such as organ failure and death. We will discuss regulation of LPS-M phi interactions by LPS-binding plasma proteins and by LPS-induced changes in M phi responsiveness. Upon exposure to plasma, LPS binds to either lipoproteins or LPS-binding protein (LBP; a 60-kilodalton glycoprotein with a high-affinity binding site for the lipid A moiety of rough and smooth LPS). The LPS-LBP complex stimulates the M phi by binding to its cellular receptor, CD14 (a monocyte/M phi-specific, phosphatidylinositol-anchored surface glycoprotein). Pretreatment of whole blood with anti-CD 14 monoclonal antibody reduces the responsiveness of monocytes to LPS [determined by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release]at least 10-fold. Similarly, cellular responsiveness to LPS is diminished at least 100-fold by depletion of plasma LBP with anti-LBP antibody. Compared to LPS-LBP induction of TNF-alpha, LPS-lipoprotein complexes are as much as 10,000-fold less active. Thus, partitioning of LPS between LBP and lipoproteins markedly influences M phi responsiveness to LPS. LPS also directly induces M phi hyporesponsiveness to itself by a process known as adaptation; exposure of M phi to less than or equal to LPS/ml (subthreshold for TNF induction) for 6-9 reduces the sensitivity of the M phi to subsequent challenge up to 1,000-fold, so that 1 microgram/ml rather than 1 ng/ml of LPS is required for maximal induction of TNF-alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
These experiments provide an explanation for the observation that two intravenous injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) spaced 5 h apart in rabbits cause tumor necrosis factor/cachectin (TNF) levels to rise in the blood only after the first LPS injection. Herein we show that treatment of elicited peritoneal exudate rabbit macrophages (PEM) with two doses of LPS given 9 h apart results in a marked reduction in TNF production by the second LPS exposure. This state of hyporesponsiveness is a result of adaptation to LPS, is induced by LPS concentrations that are 1,000-fold less than required to induce TNF production (picograms vs. nanograms), is characterized by a decrease in LPS-induced TNF mRNA without any change in TNF mRNA half-life, is not changed by including indomethacin in cultures, and is specific for LPS since LPS-adapted cells display a TNF response to heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus that is at least as good as that observed in control PEM.

Abstract
Macrophages are induced by LPS to release a number of products that determine the host response during gram negative sepsis. To examine the role of one such substance, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), in mediating LPS-induced injury, we employed a rabbit model of endotoxic shock to (a) determine the kinetics and extent of release of TNF into plasma after injection of LPS, and (b) to evaluate the protective effect of in vivo neutralization of LPS-induced TNF by prior infusion of anti-TNF antibody. TNF was maximally induced 45-100 min after injection of 10 micrograms i.v. parent Salmonella minnesota Re595 LPS or 250 micrograms Re595 LPS-HDL complexes. Maximal induction of TNF by LPS was associated with development of hypotension, focal hepatic necrosis, intravascular fibrin deposition and lethality. Based on (a) the peak levels of TNF observed in serum, 2.5 X 10(3) U/ml, (b) the specific activity of purified rabbit macrophage-derived TNF, 1 X 10(8) U/mg, and (c) the biphasic disappearance of intravenously injected purified TNF (t1/2 = 0.5 min, 11 min) we constructed a kinetic model showing that at least 130 micrograms of TNF (1.3 X 10(7) U) was released into plasma 30-200 min postinjection of LPS. Prior infusion of anti-TNF antibody (30-45 min before LPS injection) resulted in neutralization of the LPS-induced serum TNF activity and provided significant protection from the development of hypotension, fibrin deposition, and lethality. Thus, these results provide further evidence that TNF plays a central role mediating the pathophysiologic changes that occur during gram negative endotoxic shock.
