The central type and peripheral type squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung have different clinicopathological characteristics, but, little is known about their biological characteristics. We investigated differences between the properties and phenotypes of peripheral-type (P-type) and central-type (C-type) SCC by performing an immunohistochemical analysis of each type by tissue microarray analysis with a large panel of antibodies. To examine strictly, we selected 20 P-type SCCs that were pathological stage T1 and limited to more peripherally than the fifth bronchial bifurcation, and 21 C-type SCCs that were pathological stage T1 and limited to a lobar bronchus. The results of the clinicopathological study showed that the patients with P-type SCC were significantly older than the patients with C-type SCC and that squamous metaplasia was predominant in C-type SCC than in P-type SCC. The 36 antibodies revealed different expression patterns of cytokeratin 7 (CK 7) and cytokeratin 19 (CK 19) between C-type and P-type SCC. CK 7 expression was more predominant in P-type SCC than in C-type SCC, and CK 19 expression was more predominant in C-type SCC than in P-type SCC. These results suggest that C-type and P-type SCC have different clinicopathological and biological features.

Toll/Toll-like receptor (TLR) is an important pattern recognition receptor that plays an important role in the immunity of animals. Six Toll genes were identified in Macrobrachium rosenbergii, namely, MrToll, MrToll1, MrToll2, MrToll3, MrToll4, and MrToll5. SMART analysis showed that all six Tolls have a transmembrane domain, a TIR domain, and different number of LRR domains.

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in immunity and development. They contain leucine-rich repeat domains, one transmembrane domain, and one Toll/IL-1 receptor domain. TLRs have been classified into V-type/scc and P-type/mcc TLRs, based on differences in the leucine-rich repeat domain region.

Disruptants of genes encoding the ZnuABC high-affinity zinc incorporator and zosA encoding a P-type ATPase for zinc incorporation were identified to show low transformability. The low transformability of the znuB cells was rescued by excess zinc addition and epistatic analysis of the mutation revealed no effect on the expression of comK, which encodes a master regulator for late com operons. We further examined the expression of each late com operon in the znuA mutant and found that the znuA mutation specifically inhibited the expression of comF, but not the other late com operons.

An important clinical problem in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma is the intrinsic/acquired resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Copper-transporting P-type adenosine triphosphate (ATP7B) has been reported to be associated with cisplatin resistance in vitro (Komatsu et al., Cancer Res 60, 1312-1316,2000).
