    Description: Efforts to influence the biology of blood vessels by gene delivery have been hampered by a lack of targeting vectors specific for endothelial cells in diseased tissues. Here we show that a cationic nanoparticle (NP) coupled to an integrin alphavbeta3-targeting ligand can deliver genes selectively to angiogenic blood vessels in tumor-bearing mice. The therapeutic efficacy of this approach was tested by generating NPs conjugated to a mutant Raf gene, ATPmu-Raf, which blocks endothelial signaling and angiogenesis in response to multiple growth factors. Systemic injection of the NP into mice resulted in apoptosis of the tumor-associated endothelium, ultimately leading to tumor cell apoptosis and sustained regression of established primary and metastatic tumors.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hood, John D -- Bednarski, Mark -- Frausto, Ricardo -- Guccione, Samira -- Reisfeld, Ralph A -- Xiang, Rong -- Cheresh, David A -- CA50286/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P41 RR09784/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- T32 CA09696/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jun 28;296(5577):2404-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Immunology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12089446" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: -Catenanes composed of two, three, five, or seven interlocked macrocycles have been synthesized in yields ranging from 1 to 30%. Their template-directed syntheses rely on a series of cooperative noncovalent bonding interactions between π-electron rich 1,5-dioxynaphthalene ring systems and π-electron deficient bipyridinium units which are incorporated within the macrocyclic components. The interlocked structure associated with one of the [3]catenanes was demonstrated unequivocally by single crystal X-ray analysis which also revealed the formation of polar stacks stabilized by intermolecular [π···π] interactions. The number of interlocked components of each catenane was determined by liquid secondary ion, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight, and/or electrospray mass spectrometries. The absorption spectra, emission spectra, and electrochemical properties of the macrocyclic components and of the catenanes have been investigated. Two kinds of charge-transfer absorption bands (intramolecular in the cyclophanes containing electron-donor and electron-acceptor units, intercomponent in the catenanes) have been found. Such charge-transfer excited states are responsible for the quenching of the potentially fluorescence units of the cyclophanes, and of the crown ethers in the catenanes. Charge-transfer electronic interactions are also evidenced by the electrochemical behavior. Correlations among the redox potentials of the various compounds are reported and discussed.

    Notes: Zinc(II) complexes of substituted tetraphenylporphyrins, Zn[T(X-P)P], where X = H, p-F, p-Cl, m-Cl, p-CH3O, and m-CH3O, have been synthesized and characterized. Peripheral substitution shows marked changes in the chemical shifts of the phenyl proton resonances and E1/2 values of the redox couples in the anodic region while the UV/Vis spectra are unaffected. The monocation radicals of these complexes are generated by chemical oxidation with bromine. The ESR spectra reveal the formation of two types of radical species, Zn[T(X-P)P]+·Br- (species I) and Zn[T(X-P)(Brn-P)]+·Br- (species II): Species I at 298 K shows a spectrum, with well-resolved bromine hyperfine features, characteristic of a 2A2u electronic ground state while species II, except for the complex with X = m-CH3O, shows a featureless, isotropic resonance attributable to a 2A1u state. Zn[T(m-CH3O-P)(Brn-P)]+·Br-, on the other hand, exhibits nine resolved nitrogen hyperfine features corresponding to a 2A2u state. Variable temperature ESR spectra (77-298 K) indicate reduction in the bromine and nitrogen hyperfine coupling constants and an increase in the g value of species I from 2.0049 to 2.0060 with lowering temperature and suggest a labile electronic ground state for species I. The p-CH3O substituted complex exhibits an electronic transformation from 2A2u to 2A1u while the remaining complexes, including m-CH3O, show a transformation from 2A2u to an admixed 2A1u/2A2u state. The effect of substitution on the variable temperature ESR spectra are discussed.

    Description: Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels control action potential repolarization, interspike membrane potential, and action potential frequency in excitable cells. It is thought that the combinatorial association between distinct alpha and beta subunits determines whether Kv channels function as non-inactivating delayed rectifiers or as rapidly inactivating A-type channels. We show that membrane lipids can convert A-type channels into delayed rectifiers and vice versa. Phosphoinositides remove N-type inactivation from A-type channels by immobilizing the inactivation domains. Conversely, arachidonic acid and its amide anandamide endow delayed rectifiers with rapid voltage-dependent inactivation. The bidirectional control of Kv channel gating by lipids may provide a mechanism for the dynamic regulation of electrical signaling in the nervous system.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Oliver, Dominik -- Lien, Cheng-Chang -- Soom, Malle -- Baukrowitz, Thomas -- Jonas, Peter -- Fakler, Bernd -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Apr 9;304(5668):265-70.
