Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic role of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK) in surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Immunohistochemical staining of pAMPK was carried out on tissue microarrays containing 463 samples obtained from patients with NSCLC and correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and survival. RESULTS pAMPK expression levels were significantly higher in never smokers versus former smokers versus current smokers (P=0.045). A positive pAMPK expression was associated with increased overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P=0.0009 and P=0.0007, respectively). OS and RFS were statistically superior in pAMPK-positive than in pAMPK-negative patients with adenocarcinoma (ADC; median OS: 5.6 and 4.2 years, respectively, P=0.0001; median RFS: 5.0 and 2.4 years, respectively, P=0.001), whereas they were similar in those patients with squamous cell carcinoma. Multivariate analysis confirmed that pAMPK positivity was associated with OS [hazard ratio (HR)=0.574, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.418-0.789, P=0.0006) and RFS (HR=0.608, 95% CI 0.459-0.807, and P=0.0006), independent of clinical covariates. CONCLUSIONS High pAMPK expression levels are associated with increased survival in patients with NSCLC, especially those with ADC. Our results support further evaluation of AMP-activated protein kinase as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Abstract
The most common cause of cancer-related deaths in North America is lung cancer, 85% of which is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gene therapy is a promising approach, but has been hindered by lack of methods for localizing and quantifying gene expression in vivo. Human somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (SSTR2)-based reporters can be used to follow gene expression in vivo using ligands with greater affinity for this subtype. NSCLCs can express SSTR subtypes, which may interfere with SSTR2-based reporters. We assessed whether a SSTR2-based reporter can serve as a reporter of gene transfer into NSCLCs. SSTR subtype expression was assessed in NSCLC cell lines A549, H460, and H1299 using RT-PCR. After infection with an adenovirus containing hemagglutinin-A-tagged-SSTR2 (Ad-HA-SSTR2) or control insert, expression was assessed by immunologic techniques and binding to clinically-approved (111)In-octreotide. In vivo, after magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, intrathoracic H460 tumors were injected with Ad-HA-SSTR2 or control virus (n = 6 mice/group) under ultrasound guidance. Intravenous injection of (111)In-octreotide 2 days later was followed by planar and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Biodistribution into tumors was assessed in vivo using anatomic MR and functional gamma-camera images and ex vivo using excised organs/tumors. In human lung tumor samples (n = 70), SSTR2 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry. All three NSCLC cell lines expressed different SSTR subtypes, but none expressed SSTR2. Upon Ad-HA-SSTR2 infection, HA-SSTR2 expression was seen in all three cell lines using antibodies targeting the HA domain or (111)In-octreotide targeting the receptor domain (p < 0.05). Intrathoracic tumors infected with Ad-HA-SSTR2 were clearly visible by gamma-camera imaging; expression was quantified by both in vivo and ex vivo biodistribution analysis and demonstrated greater uptake in tumors infected with Ad-HA-SSTR2 compared with control virus (p < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry found that 78% of NSCLCs are negative for and 13% have low levels of SSTR2 expression. It is concluded that SSTR2-based reporters can serve as reporters of gene transfer into NSCLCs.

Abstract
21171 Background: Background: Axillary lymph node metastasis is the most significant marker for the pathologic staging of breast cancer. However a proportion of lymph node-negative breast cancer will develop metastatic disease. Therefore, molecular markers of invasion in these patients are needed Methods: We selected 10 primary breast cancer cases, 5 lymph node-negative (T1N0) and 4 lymph node-positive (T1N1). In these cases we searched for gene expression of 8 genes (bbc3, cegp1, fgf18, flt1, cffm4, gstm3, hec, tgfb3) selected from previous studies as a good candidates for metastasis prediction. A quantitative Real-Time PCR was performed using beta-2- microglobulin gene expression to normalized gene expression of each gene. The expression average of beta-2-microglobulin was 303,291 among T1N0 and 342,533 among T1N1 cases (ratio 0.88). The expression average of these 8 genes was 2.11 and 0.002 at T1N0 and T1N1 respectively (ratio 1,055). At least 3 genes were significantly down-regulated in T1N1 (bbc3, flt1, gstm3) in comparison with T1N1 breast carcinomas Results: Computational analysis reveals that these 3 genes (bbc3, flt1, gstm3) contain CpG islands in their promoter regions. Although preliminary data, we found group of genes that are down-regulated in T1N1 tumor Conclusions: The finding that these genes are epigenetically regulated, suggest that could be a good candidates for metastasis prediction, by methylation approach (MethyLight System). Since this down-regulation occurs in primary tumor, the analysis of these genes might be useful to predict metastasis in lymph node-negative breast cancer. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of human follicle-stimulating hormone (hFSH) on cellular proliferation and steroid hormone secretion in the left ovary, the right ovary, and the testis of the chick embryo. Gonads from 8- to 18-day-old chick embryo were cultured in a defined medium during 60 h under basal and hFSH-stimulated conditions (0.5 IU/ml of culture medium). At the end of the culture, the incorporation of ¿(3)Hthymidine and the total number of cells were measured to estimate gonadal cell proliferation. The secretion of 17beta-estradiol and testosterone in the culture medium was radioimmunologically assayed in order to evaluate the steroidogenic function of the cultured gonadal cells. The response to hFSH stimulation was observed in the left ovary, the right ovary, and the testis from the 8-day-old chick embryo. In the left ovary, cellular proliferation was not augmented by hFSH in the 8-, 10-, and 13-day-old chick embryo; meanwhile, the proliferative stimulus of hFSH was observed in the 15- and 18-day-old embryos. In the same ovary, 17beta-estradiol and testosterone secretion were stimulated after hFSH treatment at all evaluated stages (8-18 days of chick embryo development). In the right ovary, an increment in proliferation and steroidogenesis was induced by hFSH in the 8-, 10-, and 13-day-old chick embryo. Afterward, the right gonad did not respond to hFSH. Testis cells displayed hFSH response as an increment in cell proliferation at all embryonic ages (8-18 days of chick embryo development). There was a transient lack of response to hFSH in testosterone secretion at 10 and 13 days of development. The in vitro effect of hFSH on cell proliferation and steroid hormone secretion changed in the ovary and the testis according to the age of the embryo. These changes could be attributed to the growth of the left ovary and the testis and the regression of the right ovary. Probably, paracrine factors modulated the gonadotropin effect on the target cells during embryonic development of chick embryo gonads.
