    Abstract Soft tissue sarcomas are a versatile group of tumors with a proposed origin from mesenchymal stem cells. During recent years, the molecular biologic mechanisms behind the histogenesis of these tumors have become clearer. In addition to translocations and other genomic changes, epigenetic mechanisms have been shown to be greatly involved in the histogenesis of sarcomas as well as other cancers. Even though the molecular mechanisms behind sarcomas appear to be more complex than previously expected, epigenetic mechanisms bring new opportunities and means for the treatment of these complex diseases.

    Title translation From metastases to the search of primary tumor.
    Abstract A metastasis may be the first sign of a malignant tumor. Most commonly this is a pathologically enlarged lymph node, but other symptoms caused by metastases such as pathologic bone fractures may also produce the first symptom of the disease. When searching for the primary tumor, the site of the metastasis and the patient's clinical data must be taken into consideration. Along with possible additional investigations, imaging studies and a biopsy taken from the metastasis lead to diagnosis in 90% of cases. The origin of metastasized tumors remains unraveled in approximately 3 to 5% of cases.

    Abstract We investigated the expression of claudin 6 in non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) by immunohistochemistry. Samples of 164 patients with NSCLC were studied by immunohistochemistry. Claudin 6 was expressed in 42 % of cases. Its expression was significantly more frequent in adeno- than in squamous cell carcinoma (p = 0.002). There was no association between the TNM status and claudin 6 expression. Claudin 6 associated with a poor prognosis of the patients and with a short recurrence-free interval (p = 0.002, p < 0.001). The association with survival had independent prognostic value (p = 0.011). The results show that claudin 6 can be regarded as a marker of poor prognosis in lung cancer. This is different to some other cancers, such as breast and cervical carcinoma suggesting that claudin 6 probably induces other cellular pathways in neoplastic lung cells than in those tumors. In lung cancer, adenocarcinomas were most abundantly positive indicating a higher linkage of claudin 6 to glandular differentiation.

    Abstract Tight junctions are structures located in the apicobasal region of the cell membranes. They regulate paracellular solute and electrical permeability of cell layers. Additionally, they influence cellular polarity, form a paracellular fence to molecules and pathogens and divide the cell membranes to apical and lateral compartments. Tight junctions adhere to the corresponding ones of neighbouring cells and by this way also mediate attachment of the cells to one other. Molecules forming the membranous part of tight junctions include occludin, claudins, tricellulin and junctional adhesion molecules. These molecules are attached to scaffolding proteins such as ZO-1, ZO-2 and ZO-3 through which signals are mediated to the cell interior. Expression of tight junction proteins, such as claudins, may be up- or downregulated in cancer and they are involved in EMT thus influencing tumor spread. Like in tumors of other sites, lung tumors show changes in the expression in tight junction proteins. In this review the significance of tight junctions and its proteins in lung cancer is discussed with a focus on the proteins forming the membranous part of these structures.

    Abstract Tight junctions are the most apically localized part of the epithelial junctional complex. They regulate the permeability and polarity of cell layers and create compartments in cell membranes. Claudins are structural molecules of tight junctions. There are 27 claudins known, and expression of different claudins is responsible for changes in the electrolyte and solute permeability in cells layers. Studies have shown that claudins and tight junctions also protect multicellular organisms from infections and that some infectious agents may use claudins as targets to invade and weaken the host's defense. In neoplastic diseases, claudin expression may be up- or downregulated. Since their expression is associated with specific tumor types or with specific locations of tumors to a certain degree, they can, in a restricted sense, also be used as tumor markers. However, the regulation of claudin expression is complex involving growth factors and integrins, protein kinases, proto-oncogens and transcription factors. In this review, the significance of claudins is discussed in lung disease and development.

    Abstract In this study we analyzed the expression of 8-hydroxy-deguanosine (8OHdG), thioredoxin (Trx) and peroxiredoxins (Prx) 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in 80 cases of placental samples representing both normal and diseased placentas. The staining was evaluated separately in the stromal, trophoblastic and vascular components of the tissues. The results indicate that during the first trimester the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as indicated by 8OHdG was highest in the stromal component, which was also the case for Trx, Prx3, Prx4 and Prx6. In diseased placentas stromal 8OHdG was lower in cases with chromosomal aberrations but higher in molar disease in both trophoblastic and stromal cells. In chorioamnionitis stromal prx 5 and prx6 were high. Stromal prx4 and trophoblastic prx6 and stromal and endothelial Trx were also higher in molar disease. The results show that the oxidative stress is high in placentas during the first trimester. This probably reflects the oxidation burst of the placental tissues due to development of vascularity. In diseased placentas elevated levels of Prxs were seen in chorioamnionitis reflecting the ROS stress induced by inflammatory cells. The higher values of antioxidative enzymes in molar disease are possibly due to defective placentation. All in all, the results underline the importance on ROS associated mechanisms in placental development and the function of placenta to protect the developing fetus from harmful effects of reactive oxygen species as evidenced by their abundant expression in different cellular compartments of the placenta.

    Abstract Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a major environmental concern across the globe. In abundance, cyanobacteria, or so-called green-blue algae can produce extremely dangerous cyanotoxins that harm humans and animals. This study focused on the mapping and distribution of intracellular macro-and micronutrients of the wide-spread freshwater cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa). Towards a better understanding of trace metal uptake and homeostasis throughout the cell cycle, we quantitatively mapped the spatial distribution of the elements P, K, Fe, Ca, Zn, Mn, and Cu across the ultrastructure of frozen-hydrated single cells using state-of-the-art X-ray nanofluorescence imaging at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. Bulk cellular nutrient and trace metal content correlated well with the total intracellular elemental content in individual cells obtained by quantitative synchrotron X-ray fluorescence measurements. Multi-dimensional mappings showed P and K atoms colocalized as discrete semicircular hotspots that were analyzed with respect to their stoichiometry. Elevated Cu and Ca concentrations were detected along division plane of cells. P and K were found to have similar spatial elemental distribution with about 65% and 69% of the total cellular P and K, respectively, located at the hotspots. The P and K colocalization were refined further using nanotomography, showing a K envelope surrounding the P core. Inorganic P and organic P compounds were specified using solution-state
