Abstract
The class IA PI3K signaling pathway is activated by growth factor stimulation and regulates a signaling cascade that promotes diverse events including cell growth, proliferation, migration and metabolism. PI3K signaling is one of the most commonly hyperactivated pathways in breast cancer, leading to increased tumor growth and progression. PI3K hyperactivation occurs via a number of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms including mutation or amplification of PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α subunit of PI3Kα, as well as via dysregulation of the upstream growth factor receptors or downstream signaling effectors. Over the past decade, extensive efforts to develop therapeutics that suppress oncogenic PI3K signaling have been undertaken. Although FDA-approved PI3K inhibitors are now emerging, their clinical success remains limited due to adverse effects and negative feedback mechanisms which contribute to their reduced efficacy. There is an emerging body of evidence demonstrating crosstalk between the PI3K and Wnt/β-catenin pathways in breast cancer. However, PI3K exhibits opposing effects on Wnt/β-catenin signaling in distinct tumor subsets, whereby PI3K promotes Wnt/β-catenin activation in ER+ cancers, but paradoxically suppresses this pathway in ER- breast cancers. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms for PI3K-Wnt crosstalk in breast cancer, and how Wnt-targeted therapies have the potential to contribute to treatment regimens for breast cancers with PI3K dysregulation.

Abstract
Endosomal maturation is critical for robust and timely cargo transport to specific cellular compartments. The most prominent model of early endosomal maturation involves a phosphoinositide-driven gain or loss of specific proteins on individual endosomes, emphasising an autonomous and stochastic description. However, limitations in fast, volumetric imaging long hindered direct whole cell-level measurements of absolute numbers of maturation events. Here, we use lattice light-sheet imaging and bespoke automated analysis to track individual very early (APPL1-positive) and early (EEA1-positive) endosomes over the entire population, demonstrating that direct inter-endosomal contact drives maturation between these populations. Using fluorescence lifetime, we show that this endosomal interaction is underpinned by asymmetric binding of EEA1 to very early and early endosomes through its N- and C-termini, respectively. In combination with agent-based simulation which supports a 'trigger-and-convert' model, our findings indicate that APPL1- to EEA1-positive maturation is driven not by autonomous events but by heterotypic EEA1-mediated interactions, providing a mechanism for temporal and population-level control of maturation.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy occurs basally under nutrient-rich conditions in most mammalian cells, contributing to protein and organelle quality control, and protection against aging and neurodegeneration. During autophagy, lysosomes are heavily utilized via their fusion with autophagosomes and must be repopulated to maintain autophagic degradative capacity. During starvation-induced autophagy, lysosomes are generated via de novo biogenesis under the control of TFEB (transcription factor EB), or by the recycling of autolysosome membranes via autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR). However, these lysosome repopulation processes do not operate under nutrient-rich conditions. In our recent study, we identify a sequential phosphoinositide conversion pathway that enables lysosome repopulation under nutrient-rich conditions to facilitate basal autophagy. Phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns[3,4]P2) signals generated downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) during growth factor stimulation are converted to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) on endosomes by INPP4B (inositol polyphosphate-4-phosphatase type II B). We show that PtdIns3P is retained as endosomes mature into endolysosomes, and serves as a substrate for PIKFYVE (phosphoinositide kinase, FYVE-type zinc finger containing) to generate phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns[3,5]P2) to promote SNX2-dependent lysosome reformation, basal autophagic flux and protein aggregate degradation. Therefore, endosome maturation couples nutrient signaling to lysosome repopulation during basal autophagy by delivering PI3Kα-derived PtdIns3P to endolysosomes for PtdIns(3,5)P2-dependent lysosome reformation.Abbreviations: ALR: autophagic lysosome reformation; INPP4B: inositol polyphosphate-4-phosphatase type II B; PI3Kα: phosphoinositide 3-kinase alpha; PIKFYVE: phosphoinositide kinase FYVE-type zinc finger containing; PtdIns3P: phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate; PtdIns(3,4)P2: phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate; PtdIns(3,5)P2 phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate; SNX2 sorting nexin 2; PIK3C3/VPS34 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3.

Abstract
Autophagy depends on the repopulation of lysosomes to degrade intracellular components and recycle nutrients. How cells co‐ordinate lysosome repopulation during basal autophagy, which occurs constitutively under nutrient‐rich conditions, is unknown. Here, we identify an endosome‐dependent phosphoinositide pathway that links PI3Kα signaling to lysosome repopulation during basal autophagy. We show that PI3Kα‐derived PI(3)P generated by INPP4B on late endosomes was required for basal but not starvation‐induced autophagic degradation. PI(3)P signals were maintained as late endosomes matured into endolysosomes, and served as the substrate for the 5‐kinase, PIKfyve, to generate PI(3,5)P2. The SNX‐BAR protein, SNX2, was recruited to endolysosomes by PI(3,5)P2 and promoted lysosome reformation. Inhibition of INPP4B/PIKfyve‐dependent lysosome reformation reduced autophagic clearance of protein aggregates during proteotoxic stress leading to increased cytotoxicity. Therefore under nutrient‐rich conditions, PI3Kα, INPP4B, and PIKfyve sequentially contribute to basal autophagic degradation and protection from proteotoxic stress via PI(3,5)P2‐dependent lysosome reformation from endolysosomes. These findings reveal that endosome maturation couples PI3Kα signaling to lysosome reformation during basal autophagy.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex and heterogeneous disease marked by the dysregulation of cancer driver genes historically classified as oncogenes or tumour suppressors according to their ability to promote or inhibit tumour development and growth, respectively. Certain genes display both oncogenic and tumour suppressor functions depending on the biological context, and as such have been termed dual-role cancer driver genes. However, because of their context-dependent behaviour, the tumourigenic mechanism of many dual-role genes is elusive and remains a significant knowledge gap in our effort to understand and treat cancer. Inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) is an emerging dual-role cancer driver gene, primarily known for its role as a negative regulator of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signalling pathway. In response to growth factor stimulation, class I PI3K generates PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 at the plasma membrane. PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 can be hydrolysed by inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases to generate PtdIns(3,4)P2, which, together with PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, facilitates the activation of AKT to promote cell proliferation, survival, migration, and metabolism. Phosphatase and tensin homology on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and INPP4B are dual-specificity phosphatases that hydrolyse PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4)P2, respectively, and thus negatively regulate PI3K/AKT signalling. PTEN is a bona fide tumour suppressor that is frequently lost in human tumours. INPP4B was initially characterised as a tumour suppressor akin to PTEN, and has been implicated as such in a number of cancers, including prostate, thyroid, and basal-like breast cancers. However, evidence has since emerged revealing INPP4B as a paradoxical oncogene in several malignancies, with increased INPP4B expression reported in AML, melanoma and colon cancers among others. Although the tumour suppressive function of INPP4B has been mostly ascribed to its ability to negatively regulate PI3K/AKT signalling, its oncogenic function remains less clear, with proposed mechanisms including promotion of PtdIns(3)P-dependent SGK3 signalling, inhibition of PTEN-dependent AKT activation, and enhancing DNA repair mechanisms to confer chemoresistance. Nevertheless, research is ongoing to identify the factors that dictate the tumourigenic output of INPP4B in different human cancers. In this review we discuss the dualistic role that INPP4B plays in the context of cancer development, progression and treatment, drawing comparisons to PTEN to explore how their similarities and, importantly, their differences may account for their diverging roles in tumourigenesis.

Abstract
AKT is the central phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling effector, however, PIK3CA (p110α subunit of PI3Kα)-mutant estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers exhibit minimal AKT activation and the downstream signaling is poorly characterized. We discovered that a subset of PIK3CA-mutant ER+ breast cancers exhibit increased inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type II (INPP4B) expression, which promotes late endosome formation and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) trafficking, leading to enhanced Wingless-related integration site (WNT)/catenin beta 1 (β-catenin) activation.

Abstract
Despite significant progress, our understanding of how specific oncogenes transform cells is still limited and likely underestimates the complexity of downstream signalling events. To address this gap, we use mass spectrometry-based chemical proteomics to characterize the global impact of an oncogene on the expressed kinome, and then functionally annotate the regulated kinases. As an example, we identify 63 protein kinases exhibiting altered expression and/or phosphorylation in Src-transformed mammary epithelial cells. An integrated siRNA screen identifies nine kinases, including SGK1, as being essential for Src-induced transformation. Accordingly, we find that Src positively regulates SGK1 expression in triple negative breast cancer cells, which exhibit a prominent signalling network governed by Src family kinases. Furthermore, combined inhibition of Src and SGK1 reduces colony formation and xenograft growth more effectively than either treatment alone. Therefore, this approach not only provides mechanistic insights into oncogenic transformation but also aids the design of improved therapeutic strategies. The systemic understanding of oncogenic kinase signalling is still limited. Here, the authors combine chemical proteomics with functional screens to assess the impact of oncogenic Src on the expressed kinome and identify SGK1 as a critical mediator of Src-induced cell transformation.

Abstract
Blood samples collected from 120 wild swine (Sus scrofa) in thirteen Oklahoma (USA) counties during 1996 were tested for antibodies against six viral and two bacterial diseases. No antibodies to swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, transmissible gastroenteritis, and vesicular stomatitis were detected. Antibody titers to one or more leptospiral serovars were found in 44% of the samples, the two most frequent serovars being Leptospira interrogans serovars bratislava (29%) and pomona (27%). Antibody against porcine parvovirus and swine influenza virus was detected in 17% and 11% of the swine, respectively. Two samples (2%) were positive for antibody to the recently emerged porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

Abstract
Anaplasma marginale has been propagated and continuously passaged in an Ixodes scapularis cell line. Anaplasma development was characterized and cultures with a high density of rickettsiae were harvested at a predictable rate. Culture-derived A. marginale (CAM) remained infective for cattle and was used effectively as antigen in diagnostic tests with the sensitivity to identify bovine carriers of A. marginale. This study presents results of an initial trial using the CAM as an immunogen for cattle. CAM was mechanically disrupted, frozen at -70 degrees C, and inactivated with beta-propiolactone. Two intact yearling cattle were immunized with CAM and Freund's adjuvant, receiving 4 subcutaneous injections at 3-4 week intervals. Two control yearling cattle received adjuvant and PBS. Serum samples were evaluated by competitive ELISA (C-ELISA) using CAM as antigen and the standard complement fixation test (CFT). All cattle were subsequently challenged with A. marginale-infected blood from a carrier cow. An additional intact calf was inoculated with live CAM from the same passage and screened by C-ELISA and CFT. Sera collected from immunized cattle were negative or suspicious by CFT throughout the immunization study. The same sera were strongly positive by C-ELISA two weeks after the first injection and throughout the study. All cattle became infected following challenge-exposure with blood, but immunized cattle exhibited longer prepatent periods as well as lower parasitemias and percent reduction of packed cell volumes as compared with the controls. The calf receiving live CAM became infected and underwent a mild clinical reaction with positive C-ELISA and CFT results and did not become clinically ill following blood challenge. This preliminary study suggests that the CAM antigen is highly immunogenic in cattle. Furthermore, the CFT did not identify immunized animals whereas the C-ELISA (using CAM) was highly sensitive for detection of both immunized and infected animals.

Abstract
Serologic diagnosis of anaplasmosis is currently done by the complement-fixation, ELISA, and card agglutination tests. These tests have utilized A. marginale harvested from bovine erythrocytes as antigen which is often contaminated with erythrocyte stroma. We are currently testing A. marginale propagated in a Ixodes scapularis cell line as antigen for serologic tests. In this study, we report the use of the cell culture-derived A. marginale as antigen for development of a rapid, semi-automated latex agglutination test. Diluted serum and latex (polystyrene microspheres), sensitized with cell culture-derived A. marginale proteins, were dispensed into 96-well microtiter plates. An initial reading of light transmission was recorded by a computer-interfaced scanning autoreader. After 30 minutes, the plates were mixed and read a second time, recording the delta % light transmittance. The sensitized latex microspheres (latex) agglutinated in the presence of A. marginale antibodies, thus producing an increase in light transmittance. In preliminary tests, 724/977 of the sera were positive for A. marginale antibodies with an apparent agreement of 83.3% when compared with the complement-fixation test. Sensitization and sera dilution buffers were shown to have a marked effect on the sensitivity and specificity of this assay. Results will be presented on the optimization of buffers and the testing of sera from experimentally and field-infected cattle.

Abstract
Anaplasma marginale was propagated in a continuous tick cell line and detergent-solubilized infected cells were used as antigen in a competitive ELISA (C-ELISA) for detection of Anaplasma-specific antibody in bovine sera. Positive control sera competed well (> or = 35% inhibition) with an A. marginale-specific monoclonal antibody for binding to this antigen, while negative sera failed to compete (< 35% inhibition). The C-ELISA was compared to the standard complement-fixation test (CFT) using 2,208 bovine sera. Overall, C-ELISA was more sensitive than CFT (24.9% versus 9.4%), mainly because CFT yielded "suspicious" or "anti-complementary" results in 10.5% of the sera and also failed to identify several vaccinated and carrier cattle that were C-ELISA-positive. The apparent agreement between CFT and C-ELISA was 89.6% and the kappa value was 0.6. These results show that this C-ELISA would be a suitable replacement of the CFT as the standard test for detection of A. marginale antibody.

Abstract
Rapid screening of large numbers of swine sera for antibody is an essential element in the current eradication program for pseudorabies in the United States. We evaluated a recently introduced commercial semiautomated latex agglutination test (LAT) kit for pseudorabies antibody. A total of 1,191 swine sera were tested using the new procedure and 3 established tests: the manual LAT, the serum neutralization test (SNT), and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There was close agreement among results of semiautomated LAT, the manual LAT, and ELISA but less agreement between semiautomated LAT and SNT. Overall, the sensitivities of the 4 tests were as follows: semiautomated LAT = manual LAT > ELISA > SNT. For 74 samples of known pseudorabies antibody status, the overall specificities were as follows: semi-automated LAT = manual LAT = SNT > ELISA. Because of its relative insensitivity, the SNT should no longer be considered the official "gold" standard for pseudorabies testing in the on-going eradication program. However, because no single test was perfect for all samples, a scheme including 3 tests in the following sequence is recommended: 1) screening using semiautomated LAT or ELISA and 2) confirmation testing of positives by manual LAT and SNT, with any sample that tests positive by any 2 tests being regarded as true positive.

Abstract
Nine new octadentate ligands based on cyclic, spermine (3,4,3-LI), desferrioxamine (DFO), or H-shaped tetrakisamine (penten) molecular backbones were prepared containing catecholamide (CAM), carboxycatecholamide (CAM(C)), or terephthalamide (TAM) chelating units. Mice were injected intravenously with 239Pu(i.v.) citrate, treated with 30 mumol kg-1 of a ligand by intraperitoneal injection at 1 h or by gastric intubation at 3 min, and Pu retention in tissues and Pu transfer to excreta were measured at 24 h. Given by injection, three soluble ligands composed of MeTAM (3,4,3-LIMeTAM, DFO-MeTAM, H(2,2)-MeTAM) reduced Pu retention in the body to 27-28% of control compared with 32 and 37% of control obtained in mice similarly treated with 3,4,3-LICAM(C) or CaNa3-DTPA, respectively. The MeTAM ligands reduced Pu retention in the skeleton as much as an equimolar amount of CaNa3-DTPA, while Pu retention in the liver (on average, 16% of control) was significantly less than was obtained with CaNa3-DTPA (35% of control). Given orally, H(2,2)-MeTAM reduced Pu retention in the whole body to 58% of control compared with reductions to 62 and 94% of control achieved with 3,4,3-LICAM(C) or CaNa3-DTPA, respectively. Penten is both partially preorganized for metal binding and spatially suitable for encapsulation of actinide(IV), and ligands with the penten backbone are easier and less costly to prepare than those based on spermine or DFO. The biological results confirmed that penten is a suitable as well as practical structural backbone for new octadentate ligands. In agreement with the great stability of the ferric complex with MeTAM, as determined in vitro, the small, simple, soluble penten-based octadentate ligand, H(2,2)-MeTAM, was shown to be, overall, the most effective catecholamide ligand for enhancing Pu excretion. Either combined in H(2,2)-MeTAM or separately, the penten backbone and the MeTAM chelating unit are potentially useful additions to the set of backbones and binding units of multidentate ligands identified as effective for in vivo chelation of the actinides.

Abstract
An ostrich egg at 21 days of development was used to propagate primary embryo cell cultures. Primary cultures of skeletal muscle cells (for fibroblasts) were prepared by routine typsinization techniques. The ostrich embryo fibroblasts were tested for their ability to propagate stock avian viruses of infectious bronchitis virus, paramyxiovirus-1 (PMV-1), PMV-2, PMV-3, infectious bursal disease virus, quail bronchitis virus, avian reovirus, turkey coronavirus, and two ostrich-originating specimens (one of which was a possible coronavirus identified by electron microscopy). Cytopathic effects were seen by light microscopy in cell cultures inoculated with PMV-1, turkey coronavirus, and the two ostrich specimens. Hemaglutinating titers of 4 or more were determined for PMV-1, turkey coronavrius, and the two ostrich specimens after inoculation onto monolayers of ostrich embryo fibroblasts. Hemagglutination-inhibition tests confirmed the identification of PMV-1 when homologous antisera were used as the specific inhibitor. Bovine coronavirus antisera inhibited the hemagglutination of one of the cultured ostrich specimens.

Abstract
The prevalence of anaplasmosis in Oklahoma cattle was determined on the basis of the standardized Anaplasma marginale complement fixation test on 20,155 sera submitted to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory during a 15-year period. Rates of seropositivity ranged from 4.7% to 17.6% on samples submitted for anaplasmosis testing of adult cows. The geographic distribution of recorded cases of anaplasmosis was 35 Oklahoma counties in 1977 and 48 Oklahoma counties in 1991.

Abstract
A hydroxypridinone derivative of desferrioxamine (Na-DFO-HOPO), a dihydroxamic derivative of diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (ZnNa-DTPA-DX), and DTPA (CaNa3- and ZnNa3-DTPA) were tested at dosages of 30 mumol kg-1 for their ability to remove 238Pu or 241Am from rats after their intravenous injection as citrate or inhalation as nitrate. The most effective treatment regimen for injected Pu was the repeated administration of DFO-HOPO; by 7 days the body content was reduced to 8% of that in untreated animals. Repeated dosages of 3 mumol kg-1 DFO-HOPO were as effective as those of 30 mumol kg-1 DTPA. After inhalation of Pu nitrate, repeated treatment with DTPA, DTPA-DX or DFO-HOPO reduced the body content by 7 days to, respectively, 10, 15 and 31% of those in untreated animals. After inhalation of Am, DTPA-DX and DTPA were equally effective, the body contents being reduced to 7% of control values with repeated treatment. Injection of DFO-HOPO was ineffective for enhancing the elimination of inhaled or injected Am. The results confirm the strategy of examining the use of siderophore analogues for the decorporation of Pu or Am. However, at present DTPA should remain the agent of choice, particularly after inhalation.

Abstract
A serologic survey was done on 618 cat sera submitted to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory between July 1, 1987 and June 30, 1988. The samples were collected from clinically normal and sick cats. The sera were tested for the presence of antibodies to feline immunodeficiency virus by a commercial immunoassay, to a coronavirus by an indirect fluorescent antibody test, and to Toxoplasma gondii by a commercial latex agglutination test and for the presence of feline leukemia virus antigen with one of 3 different commercial assay kits. Ten percent of the sera had antibodies to feline immunodeficiency virus, 35% had antibodies to a coronavirus, and 22% had antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii. Feline leukemia virus antigen was detected in 15% of the sera. Thirty-two percent of the sera had evidence of exposure to 2 or more of the agents.

Abstract
Serum samples from 259 dogs were tested for antibodies to Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia equi, Rickettsia rickettsii, and Borrelia burgdorferi using the indirect fluorescent antibody test. The sera were obtained from submissions to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory during a 14-month period from June 1986 through July 1987. The rate for positive antibody titers to E. canis was 53%, to E. equi was 33%, to R. rickettsii was 38%, and to B. burgdorferi was 18%. Higher percentages of sera serologically positive to E. canis were found in the spring through the fall months, but there were no seasonal variations for E. equi, R. rickettsii, and B. burgdorferi. There was no consistent pattern of titers to the 4 antigens when age-groups of the dogs were compared. Forty-four different breeds were tested.
