Background—In the normal heart, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) hydrolyzes cGMP coupled to nitric oxide– (specifically from nitric oxide synthase 3) but not natriuretic peptide (NP)–stimulated guanylyl cyclase. PDE5 is upregulated in hypertrophied and failing hearts and is thought to contribute to their pathophysiology. Because nitric oxide signaling declines whereas NP-derived cGMP rises in su...

Five different peptides (P1: 84-95; P2: 152-166; P3: 52-63; P4: 7-23; P5: 110-123) homologous to relatively hydrophilic regions of human erythropoietin (huEpo) have been synthesized to identify biologically active domains of the hormone. All peptides were able to induce high titers of peptide-specific antibodies in rabbits. Antisera from rabbits induced by recombinant huEpo (rhuEpo) contained a...
The use of anti-beta 1 integrin monoclonal antibody in lung cancer treatment has proven beneficial. Here, we developed a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb), called P5, by immunizing mice with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Its anti-tumor effect is now being tested, in a clinical phase III trial, in combinatorial treatments with various chemical drugs. To confirm that P5 indeed bi...
Pancreatic islet transplantation remains a promising approach to the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Unfortunately, graft failure continues to occur because of immunologic rejection, despite the use of potent immunosuppressive agents. It is therefore reasoned that induction of peripheral tolerance by the use of self-dendritic cells (DCs) as a vehicle to deliver specific target antigens to self-T-...
In rodents, kisspeptin-expressing neurons are localized in 2 hypothalamic brain nuclei (anteroventral periventricular nucleus/periventricular nucleus continuum [AVPv/PeN] and arcuate nucleus [ARC]) and modulated by sex steroids. By using wild-type (WT) and aromatase knockout (ArKO) mice (which cannot convert testosterone into estradiol) and immunohistochemistry, we observed that WT females show...
Picornavirus replication is critically dependent on the correct processing of a polyprotein precursor by 3C protease(s) (3C(pro)) at multiple specific sites with related but non-identical sequences. To investigate the structural basis of its cleavage specificity, we performed the first crystallographic structural analysis of non-covalent complexes of a picornavirus 3C(pro) with peptide substrat...
Tasidotin, an oncolytic drug in phase II clinical trials, is a peptide analog of the antimitotic depsipeptide dolastatin 15. In tasidotin, the carboxyl-terminal ester group of dolastatin 15 has been replaced by a carboxy-terminal tert-butyl amide. As expected from studies with cemadotin, [(3)H]tasidotin, with the radiolabel in the second proline residue, was hydrolyzed intracellularly, with for...
Specific and major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted T-cell recognition of antigenic peptides is based on interactions of the T-cell receptor (TCR) with the MHC alpha helices and solvent exposed peptide residues termed TCR contacts. In the case of MHC class II-presented peptides, the latter are located in the positions p2/3, p5 and p7/8 between MHC anchor residues. For numerous epitop...
Amyloid is a complex pathologic matrix comprised principally of paracrystalline protein fibrils and heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Systemic amyloid diseases are rare, thus, routine diagnosis is often challenging. The glycosaminoglycans ubiquitously present in amyloid deposits are biochemically and electrochemically distinct from those found in the healthy tissues due to the high degree of sulfa...
