Abstract
Dobzhansky–Muller incompatibilities represent a major driver of reproductive isolation between species. They are caused when interacting components encoded by alleles from different species cannot function properly when mixed. At incipient stages of speciation, complex incompatibilities involving multiple genetic loci with weak effects are frequently observed, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we show perturbed proteostasis leading to compromised mitosis and meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae hybrid lines carrying one or two chromosomes from Saccharomyces bayanus var. uvarum. Levels of proteotoxicity are correlated with the number of protein complexes on replaced chromosomes. Proteomic approaches reveal that multi-protein complexes with subunits encoded by replaced chromosomes tend to be unstable. Furthermore, hybrid defects can be alleviated or aggravated, respectively, by up- or down-regulating the ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation machinery, suggesting that destabilized complex subunits overburden the proteostasis machinery and compromise hybrid fitness. Our findings reveal the general role of impaired protein complex assembly in complex incompatibilities. Hybrid incompatibility can be an important element of reproductive isolation and speciation. Using chromosome replacement lines of yeast, the authors show that perturbed proteostasis caused by destabilized hybrid protein complexes may represent a general mechanism of hybrid incompatibility.

Abstract
Sex is common among eukaryotes, but entails considerable costs. The selective conditions that drive the evolutionary maintenance of sexual reproduction remain an open question. One long-standing explanation is that sex and recombination facilitate adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions, although the genetic mechanisms that underlie such a benefit have not been empirically observed. In this study, we compare the dynamics and fitness effects of mutations in sexual and asexual diploid populations of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during adaptation to a fluctuating environment. While we find no detectable difference in the rate of adaptation between sexual and asexual populations, only the former evolve high fitness mutations in parallel, a genetic signature of adaptation. Using genetic reconstructions and fitness assays, we demonstrate that evolved, overdominant mutations can be beneficial in asexual populations, but maintained at lower frequencies in sexual populations due to segregation load. Overall these data show that sex alters the molecular basis of adaptation in diploids, and confers both costs and benefits.

Abstract
Biological processes in living cells are often carried out by gene networks in which signals and reactions are integrated through network hubs. Despite their functional importance, it remains unclear to what extent network hubs are evolvable and how alterations impact long-term evolution. We investigated these issues using heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a central hub of proteostasis networks. When native Hsp90 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was replaced by the ortholog from hypersaline-tolerant Yarrowia lipolytica that diverged from S. cerevisiae about 270 million years ago, the cells exhibited improved growth in hypersaline environments but compromised growth in others, indicating functional divergence in Hsp90 between the two yeasts. Laboratory evolution shows that evolved Y. lipolytica-HSP90–carrying S. cerevisiae cells exhibit a wider range of phenotypic variation than cells carrying native Hsp90. Identified beneficial mutations are involved in multiple pathways and are often pleiotropic. Our results show that cells adapt to a heterologous Hsp90 by modifying different subnetworks, facilitating the evolution of phenotypic diversity inaccessible to wild-type cells. Biological processes in living cells are often carried out by gene networks. Hubs are highly connected network components important for integrating signal inputs and generating responsive functional outputs. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a versatile hub in the protein homeostasis network, is a molecular chaperone essential for cell viability in all tested eukaryotic cells. In yeast, about a quarter of the expressed proteins are profoundly influenced when Hsp90 activity is reduced. Despite its pivotal role, we found that the function of Hsp90 has diverged between two yeast species, Yarrowia lipolytica and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which split about 270 million years ago. To understand the impacts and adaptive strategies in cells with an altered network hub, we conducted laboratory evolution experiments using a S. cerevisiae strain in which native Hsp90 is replaced by its counterpart in Y. lipolytica. We observed different fitness gain or loss under various stress conditions in individual evolved clones, suggesting that cells adapted via different evolutionary paths. Genome sequencing and mutation reconstitution experiments show that beneficial mutations occurred in multiple Hsp90-related pathways that interact with each other. Our results show that a perturbed network allows cells to evolve a broader range of phenotypic diversity unavailable to wild-type cells.

Abstract
Alteration of protein localization is an important strategy for cells to regulate protein homeostasis upon environmental stresses. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, many proteins relocalize and form cytosolic granules during chronological aging. However, the functions and exact components of these protein granules remain uncharacterized in most cases. In this study, we performed a genome-wide analysis of protein localization in stationary phase cells, leading to the discovery of 307 granule-forming proteins and the identification of new components in the Hsp42-stationary phase granule (Hsp42-SPG), P-bodies, Ret2 granules and actin bodies. We further characterized the Hsp42-SPG, which contains the largest number of protein components, including many molecular chaperones, metabolic enzymes and regulatory proteins. Formation of the Hsp42-SPG efficiently downregulates the activities of sequestered components, which can be differentially released from the granule based on environmental cues. We found a similar structure in the pre-whole genome duplication yeast species, Lachancea kluyveri, suggesting that the Hsp42-SPG is a common machinery allowing chronologically aged cells to contend with changing environments when available energy is limited. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Stationary phase cultures represent a complicated cell population comprising at
least two different cell types, quiescent (Q) and non-quiescent (NQ) cells. Q
and NQ cells have different lifespans and cell physiologies. However, less is
known about the organization of cytosolic protein structures in these two cell
types. In this study, we examined Q and NQ cells for the formation of several
stationary phase-prevalent granule structures including actin bodies, proteasome
storage granules, stress granules, P-bodies, the compartment for unconventional
protein secretion (CUPS), and Hsp42-associated stationary phase granules
(Hsp42-SPGs). Most of these structures preferentially form in NQ cells, except
for Hsp42-SPGs, which are enriched in Q cells. When nutrients are provided, NQ
cells enter mitosis less efficiently than Q cells, likely due to the time
requirement for reorganizing some granule structures. We observed that heat
shock-induced misfolded proteins often colocalize to Hsp42-SPGs, and Q cells
clear these protein aggregates more efficiently, suggesting that Hsp42-SPGs may
play an important role in the stress resistance of Q cells. Finally, we show
that the cell fate of NQ cells is largely irreversible even if they are allowed
to reenter mitosis. Our results reveal that the formation of different granule
structures may represent the early stage of cell type differentiation in yeast
stationary phase cultures.

Abstract
BPR0L075 [6-methoxy-3-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxy-benzoyl)-1H-indole] is a novel anti-microtubule drug with anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic activities in vitro and in vivo. Securin is required for genome stability, and is expressed abundantly in most cancer cells, promoting cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In this study, we found that BPR0L075 efficiently induced cell death of HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells that have higher expression levels of securin. The cytotoxicity of BPR0L075 was attenuated in isogenic securin-null HCT116 cells. BPR0L075 induced DNA damage response, G2/M arrest, and activation of the spindle assembly checkpoint in HCT116 cells. Interestingly, BPR0L075 induced phosphorylation of securin. BPR0L075 withdrawal resulted in degradation of securin, mitotic exit, and mitotic catastrophe, which were attenuated in securin-null cells. Inhibition of cdc2 decreased securin phosphorylation, G2/M arrest and cell death induced by BPR0L075. Moreover, BPR0L075 caused cell death through a caspase-independent mechanism and activation of JNK and p38 MAPK pathways. These findings provided evidence for the first time that BPR0L075 treatment is beneficial for the treatment of human colorectal tumors with higher levels of securin. Thus, we suggest that the expression levels of securin may be a predictive factor for application in anti-cancer therapy with BPR0L075 in human cancer cells.

Abstract
Healthy patients with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss who had received examination of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were gathered for retrospective analysis. The effects of sex, age and hearing asymmetry on the interaural differences of ipsilateral ABR were determined by multivariant linear regression. Our results showed that the interaural differences of ABR wave III and wave V latencies were significantly affected by hearing asymmetry but not by sex or age. However, in female subjects younger than 50 years, differences of III-V intervals could be negatively correlated with hearing asymmetry. We suggest that plasticity in the auditory brainstem in younger females might account for asymmetrical peripheral hearing in this group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to determine the degree to which milk-borne insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is absorbed. METHODS Cesarean-derived piglets were fitted with umbilical arterial and venous catheters within 2 h of birth and were administered formula containing 21.7 +/- 1.8 microCi of iodinated recombinant human IGF-1 (125I-rhIGF-I) by orgogastric gavage. Blood samples were taken before administration of the 125I-rhIGF-I (t0) and for 4 h postgavage. Plasma was obtained by centrifugation and total and trichloroacetic acid precipitable radioactivity were determined. Immunoreactive 125I-rhIGF-I was assessed using a polyclonal antibody to human IGF-I. Four hours after feeding, intestines were removed, divided into 13 segments, and flushed with saline. Radioactivity within the small intestinal lumen and wall were measured. RESULTS Radioactivity in portal blood was higher than t0 at all times points (p < 0.05), whereas arterial radioactivity did not differ from t0 until 30 min postgavage. On average 18-20% of total radioactivity in both portal and arterial blood was acid-precipitable, with the proportion decreasing over time (p < 0.001). Immunoprecipitable radioactivity averaged 3-5% of the total radioactivity and was higher in portal than arterial blood (p < 0.05). Based on a plasma volume of 0.062 +/- 0.005 L and a baseline plasma IGF-I concentration of 1.81 +/- 0.56 nmol/L, absorbed 125I-rhIGF-I represented 0.205% of the total plasma IFG-I pool, whereas 14% of the dose was associated with the lining of the intestine. CONCLUSIONS Absorption of orally administered IGF-I does not contribute significantly to circulating IGF-I.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic agent. CDDP forms well characterized intrastrand cross-links between adjacent purines in genomic DNA. In mammalian cells, these lesions are repaired by the nucleotide excision repair system. An early event in the recognition and processing of cis-Pt-DNA adducts may well involve the binding of specific proteins to the sites of damage. Several proteins have been identified, including high mobility group (HMG) proteins 1 and 2 and upstream binding factor (UBF), which recognize CDDP-DNA. However, the physiological significance of this binding has not been established. In this study, we have utilized antibodies to these proteins to examine the effect of CDDP on their intracellular distribution. Marked changes in the immunofluorescent staining pattern of HMG1/HMG2 were noted in cells treated with CDDP. At higher drug concentrations, the distribution of UBF also changed, from a clustered appearance associated with the nucleoli to more diffuse nuclear staining. These results demonstrate that HMG1/HMG2 and UBF respond to drug treatment, presumably by recognizing cis-Pt-DNA adduct formation in intact cells. Hence, these proteins may play an important role in directing the response of tumor cells following exposure to CDDP.

Abstract
Proliferation and differentiation of rat (IEC-6) and human (FHs) small intestinal cells in the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, -II, and des[1-3]tripeptide-IGF-I(des-IGF-I) were examined. Thymidine incorporation into IEC-6 cells was significantly increased by insulin, IGF-I, des-IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGF-I+EGF, but not by EGF alone. In contrast, thymidine incorporation into FHs cells was increased only by insulin, IGF-I, and the combination of IGF-I and EGF. Mitogenic activities of IGF-I at 5 nM and insulin at 700 nM (IEC-6) or 1400 nM (FHs) were equivalent, suggesting that both acted through the type I IGF receptor in both cells. IEC-6 cells secreted consistently one predominant IGF binding protein (IGFBP) with M(r) of 28.5 kDa, while FHs cells secreted several IGFBPs with M(r) from 43 to 24 kDa. Mitogenic activity of IGF-I at 5 nM was equal to des-IGF-I at 0.005 nM, indicating that endogenously produced IGFBPs likely inhibit IGF-I action. In IEC-6 cells, IGFBP-2 secretion, but not mRNA expression, was decreased by EGF and IGF-I+EGF treatments, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation. IGF-II and EGF were more potent than IGF-I at increasing maltase and sucrase activities, suggesting that these growth factors may stimulate differentiation to a greater degree than mitogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose etoposide was incorporated into a regimen of fractionated total-body irradiation (FTBI) and high-dose cyclophosphamide before autologous transplant with the goal to enhance the antitumor effect of the myeloablative regimen in poor-risk lymphoid malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-six patients, 24 with recurrent or refractory Hodgkin's disease and 72 with poor-risk non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), were treated on this study. Cytoreduction with conventional therapy was attempted before administration of the preparatory regimen. The preparatory regimen consisted of 12 Gy total-body irradiation administered in 10 1.2-Gy fractions on day -8 through day -5, etoposide 60 mg/kg on day -4, and cyclophosphamide 100 mg/kg on day -2. Patients with NHL received bone marrow purged with a panel of monoclonal antibodies and complement on day 0, while patients with Hodgkin's disease received peripheral-blood stem cells alone or with unmanipulated bone marrow. RESULTS The major morbidities of transplant were mucositis and skin toxicity. Eight patients (8.6%) died of regimen-related toxicities within 100 days of transplant. Engraftment was related to the rescue product; the median time to a neutrophil count more than 500/microL was 10 days for patients with Hodgkin's disease and 16 days for NHL patients. With a maximum follow-up duration of longer than 5 years, the 3-year actuarial survival rate is 57%. At 3 years, the actuarial freedom from progression (FFP) rate is 55% and the event-free survival rate is 47% for patients with Hodgkin's disease, while the respective figures for NHL patients are 60% and 53%. Among 32 patients with intermediate- and high-grade lymphoma transplanted subsequent to first relapse, 70% are free of lymphoma and 60% are event-free at > or = 3 years. CONCLUSION The preparatory regimen consisting of FTBI, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide demonstrates relative efficacy in patients with Hodgkin's disease and NHL selected for high-dose therapy. Longer follow-up duration is needed to determine the rate of cure and to assess late complications. Major remaining challenges for high-dose therapy are a more inclusive strategy for all poor-risk patients and the need to reduce posttransplant relapses.

Abstract
This study determined if reported decreases in the delta subunit of ATP synthase and nuclear-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunits in hearts of copper-deficient rats were secondary to the heart disease pathology or due to lack of the trace element. Male weanling Long-Evans rats were randomly divided into six groups: rats fed a copper-adequate or copper-deficient diet (with free access) with or without 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the drinking water and rats pair-fed the copper-adequate or copper-deficient diet without DMSO treatment. After 4 wk, rats in the groups fed the copper-deficient diet had lower liver superoxide dismutase and heart cytochrome c oxidase activities compared with groups fed the copper-adequate diet. Administration of DMSO, an antioxidant, and energy restriction (pair-feeding) partially blocked cardiac hypertrophy in rats fed the copper-deficient diet. Greater mitochondrial volume density and mitochondrial:myofibrillar ratio and disrupted myofibrils and basal laminae were observed in the hearts from rats fed the copper-deficient diet and not treated with DMSO compared with hearts from groups fed the copper-adequate diet. The DMSO-treated rats fed the copper-deficient diet had hearts with intact structure but enlarged mitochondria compared with other groups fed the copper-deficient diet. The delta subunit of ATP synthase and the nuclear-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunits IV and V were depressed in rats fed a copper-deficient diet regardless of antioxidant treatment and pair-feeding. These data suggest that the effects of copper deficiency upon ATP synthase and cytochrome c oxidase proteins are not due to the cardiac pathology.

Abstract
The mercury concentration of oeal gas was determinded.Comparison were made on 2 groups consisting of silver amalgam covered cases(n=15) and uncovered cases (n=29) immediately by vaseline after filling silver amalgam,and the concentration of Hg before polishing old silver amalgam and after polishing (n=10),The result showed there are very significant difference (P<0.01).The surface area of filling mercury amalgam did not relate to Hg concentration.The larger volume of polishing old mercury amalgam was,the higher concentration of Hg was.In addition,mercury concentrations of air in four consulting rooms before ventilation were higher than 3.1-6.6 times national hyienic standard,however,it was reduced to 1.2-2.1 times after ventilation.

Abstract
Ionic dyes that distribute across membranes according to electrical potential have proven valuable as fluorescent indicators of mitochondrial energetics in living cells. Applications have been limited, however, as potential-dependent staining is lost during cell fixation. We have produced a membrane potential indicator whose potential-dependent distribution can be made permanent, to enable correlation of membrane potential with cytochemical information from immunofluorescence. A carbocyanine dye was derivatized with a photoreactive nitrophenylazide moiety so that irradiation would induce nonspecific, covalent attachment to nearby molecules. Photo-induced cross-linking was observed in paper chromatography, when irradiation caused immobilization of the dye. The new dye, named PhoCy (photofixable cyanine), showed specific staining of mitochondria in living Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. When living cells were stained, irradiated, and fixed with formaldehyde, mitochondrial staining was retained owing to cross-linking with mitochondrial components. Omission of irradiation eliminated mitochondrial staining in fixed cells. Labeling, irradiation, and fixation procedures were optimized to produce bright specific staining with minimal background. The indicator's sensitivity to mitochondrial potential was demonstrated by treating cells with 2,4-dinitrophenol, an uncoupler of mitochondrial electron transport, which decreased mitochondrial staining in living cells and in the corresponding fixed specimens.

Abstract
1. Male weanling Long-Evans rats were randomly assigned to either copper-adequate (6.0 mg Cu/kg feed) or copper-deficient (< 1.0 mg Cu/kg feed) diets for a 5 week period. 2. Cardiac ATP levels and energy charges did not differ between the two groups. Levels of NAD and phosphocreatine as well as the sum of pyridine nucleotides were greater in copper-deficient rats compared with copper-adequate rats using HPLC analysis. 3. Mitochondrial respiratory control ratios and oxygen consumption rates from copper-deficient rat hearts were depressed, although ADP:O ratios were similar to copper-adequate rat hearts.

Abstract
World Fertility Survey data for ten developing countries are used to examine the respective roles of development and family planning in influencing the regulation of fertility. The findings show that high proportions of women at all socioeconomic levels in the countries studied wanted no more children, including large proportions among rural, poor, and uneducated women with few children. The data also show that despite the limitations of underdevelopment, in countries with strong family planning programs knowledge and use of contraception was high. These findings confirm that there is a large unmet demand for family planning and point to the importance of continued allocation of funds to support service programs.
