Molecular Analysis on the Possible Mechanism of Β-Naphthoflavone-Induced Hepatocarcinogenesis in Rats
J Toxicol Pathol 2007; 20: 29–37 Original Molecular Analysis on the Possible Mechanism of β-Naphthoflavone-Induced Hepatocarcinogenesis in Rats Yusuke Yokouchi1, Masako Muguruma1, Mitsuyoshi Moto1, Miwa Takahashi1, Meilan Jin1, Yusuke Kenmochi1, Taichi Kohno1, Yasuaki Dewa1, and Kunitoshi Mitsumori1 1Laboratory of Veterinary Pathology, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, 3–5–8 Saiwai-cho, Fuchu, Tokyo 183–8509, Japan Abstract: It has been speculated that oxidative stress is involved in the liver tumor-promoting effect of β- naphthoflavone (BNF; 5,6-benzoflavone) in rats, because of its strong induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A enzymes. In order to clarify the mechanism of liver tumor promoting effects of BNF, male F344 rats were initiated with a single intraperitoneal injection of 200 mg/kg diethylnitrosamine (DEN), and fed diet containing 2% of BNF for 6 weeks staring 2 weeks after injection. Two/third partial hepatectomy was perfomed at Week 3 after the treatment of BNF. Low-density Rat Toxicology & Drug Resistance Microarray and quantitative analyses of mRNA expressions of the selected genes using real-time reverse transcription (RT) -PCR were carried out on total RNAs extracted from the livers of F344 rats. Collected liver tissues were subjected to light microscopic examinations (hematoxylin and eosin staining), immunohistochemistries of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) and CYP1A1, and Schmorl staining to identify lipofuscin. Gene expression analysis showed that 7 genes (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, Gstm2 (GST mu2), Gstm3, glutathione peroxidase (Gpx)2 and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1(Nqo1)) were up-regulated (> 1.5 fold), and 4 genes (8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1), Gpx1, peroxiredoxin (Prdx) 1 and P450 oxidoreductase (Por)) were down-regulated (< 0.67 fold) in the DEN + BNF group rats as compared with the DEN alone group. -
Technical Summary WEPX-TV Greenville, North Carolina Channel
Technical Summary WEPX-TV Greenville, North Carolina Channel 36 850 kW 275 (HAAT) ION Media Greenville License, Inc. (“ION”) licensee of television station WEPX-TV, Facility ID 81508, Greenville, North Carolina (the “Station”) hereby submits this Construction Permit Modification application seeking authority to relocate its transmitter from the currently authorized site to a site that will accommodate post-repack operations (FCC LMS File No. 0000034893). This application is necessary because ION does not have access to its current tower for post-repack operations. Following the Commission’s assignment of post-repack facilities to WEPX-TV, ION was unable to reach accommodation with the tower landlord that would permit the station to continue operating from its current site. This forced ION to identify a new site for the station’s post-repack operations. Before selecting the proposed tower location, ION performed a comprehensive analysis of available tower sites in the Greenville market. In the immediate vicinity of the current tower site, ION’s market analysis found no alternatives that would provide equivalent interference-free coverage as compared to the Station’s pre-auction or authorized post-auction facilities. However, ION was able to identify an alternative tower providing superior height and coverage performance to the southeast of the current authorized site. The new tower is located approximately 32 kilometers to the southeast of the current site. Accordingly, the Station’s proposed noise limited service contour (“NLSC”) will shift to the southeast, resulting in some areas of service gain and loss. Figure 1 shows the loss area and the stations predicted to serve the loss areas using the Commission’s standard prediction methodology. -

Sulfonyl-Containing Nucleoside Phosphotriesters and Phosphoramidates as Novel Anticancer Prodrugs of 5-Fluoro-2´-Deoxyuridine-5´- Monophosphate (FdUMP) Yuan-Wan Sun, Kun-Ming Chen, and Chul-Hoon Kwon†,* †Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, St. John’s University, Jamaica, New York 11439 * To whom correspondence should be addressed. Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, St. John’s University, 8000 Utopia parkway, Jamaica, NY 11439. Tel: (718)-990-5214, fax: (718)-990-6551, e-mail: [email protected]. Abstract A series of sulfonyl-containing 5-fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine (FdU) phosphotriester and phosphoramidate analogues were designed and synthesized as anticancer prodrugs of FdUMP. Stability studies have demonstrated that these compounds underwent pH dependent β-elimination to liberate the corresponding nucleotide species with half-lives in the range of 0.33 to 12.23 h under model physiological conditions in 0.1M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Acceleration of the elimination was observed in the presence of human plasma. Compounds with FdUMP moiety (4-9) were considerably more potent than those without (1-3) as well as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V-79 cells) in vitro. Addition of thymidine (10 µM) reversed the growth inhibition activities of only 5-FU and the compounds with FdUMP moiety, but had no effect on those without. These results suggested a mechanism of action of the prodrugs involving the intracellular release of FdUMP. Introduction 5-Fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine-5´-monophosphate (FdUMP) is the major metabolite responsible for the anticancer activity of 5-FU (Chart 1). -
