Le livre noir du colonialisme joins a now significant body of literature in addressing Europe’s reluctance to come to grips with the importance of colonization to its past. The question concerning this book is not the significance of its subject, but the implications of its approach. Since the 1970s or 1980s in the United States, more recently in France, “colonial studies” has become a field of academic inquiry, crossing disciplinary lines. There are now several alternative conceptions to bri...

DNA microarray is a powerful tool allowing simultaneous detection of many different target molecules present in a sample. The efficiency of the array depends mainly on the sequence of the capture probes and the way they are attached to the support. The coupling procedure must be quick, covalent, and reproducible in order to be compatible with automatic spotting devices dispensing tiny drops of liquids on the surface. We compared several coupling strategies currently used to covalently graft DNA ...

Here we report that photoactivated hypericin can induce either apoptosis or necrosis in HeLa cells. Under apoptotic conditions the cleavage of poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) into the 85‐kDa product is blocked by the caspase inhibitors benzyloxycarbonyl‐Val‐Ala‐Asp‐fluoromethylketone (z‐VAD‐fmk) and benzyloxycarbonyl‐Asp‐Glu‐Val‐Asp‐fluoromethylketone (z‐DEVD‐fmk). Both inhibitors protect cells from apoptosis but cannot prevent hypericin‐induced necrosis. Conversely, HeLa cells overexpressing the ...

Keratinocytes not only produce vitamin D3in response to ultraviolet B light (UVB) and convert 25-hydroxyvitamin D3to 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25(OH)2D) but also possess the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and respond to 1,25(OH)2D. We characterized the regulation of the expression of the VDR gene in primary human keratinocytes following UVB irradiation. We report a marked dose-dependent down-regulation of the VDR mRNA and protein within a few hours after irradiation. This occurs independently ofde novoprotein ...

Wild-type p53 (wt-p53) negatively controls cell cycle progression after cellular stress mediating either a temporary growth arrest or apoptosis, depending on the cell type and nature of the cellular stress. The aberrant proliferation which is characteristic of tumor cells may be suppressed by exogenous wt-p53 and appears to depend strongly on the level of reexpression. We performed retroviral-mediated gene transfer of wt-p53 into a human squamous cell carcinoma cell line from the head and neck region ( ...

To delineate the regions of liver glucokinase that are involved in the binding of its regulatory protein and have therefore been conserved throughout evolution, we have cloned the cDNA of the Xenopus laevis enzyme. It contains an open reading frame of 1374 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 458 amino acids, which displays 78 and 79% overall identity to rat and human liver glucokinases, respectively. The conserved regions are predicted to be present mainly in the small domain and the hinge region ...

Transcription of the human growth hormone (hGH) gene depends on cis-acting elements contained within 300 base pairs of its 5'-flanking sequence. An earlier in vitro study of the transcriptional activity of this 5'-flanking region suggested that transcription can start upstream from position +1. We have investigated this phenomenon by cell-free transcription and transient transfection of chimeric constructs in cultured pituitary cells and in HeLa cells and by analysis of RNA from human pituitary glands ...

DNase I footprinting experiments showed that binding activities of Sp1 and of GHF-1 to its distal site on the human growth hormone gene promoter are mutually exclusive. The kinetics of GHF-1 binding were indicative of positive cooperativity. The Sp1 site did not affect promoter activity in cell-free transcription. Still, Sp1 could compensate partially for the decreased stimulation of transcription seen at low GHF-1 concentrations.

Expression of the human‐growth‐hormone gene is restricted to pituitary somatotrophs. Two protein‐DNA complexes that are specific to the pituitary, and two that are not, had been demonstrated in vitro on the promoter of this gene. The two pituitary‐specific footprints had been ascribed to a single protein called growth hormone factor 1. We have now characterized the factors responsible for the two other footprints by means of deoxyribonuclease‐I protection and gel‐retardation experiments. The first ...

Apigenin, a flavonoid with chemopreventive properties, induces cellular growth arrest, with concomitant inhibition of intracellular signaling cascades and decreased proto-oncogene expression. We report that apigenin potently inhibited vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA and protein expression in human keratinocytes without changes in VDR mRNA half-life. Concurrently, downregulation of retinoid X receptor α, a dramatic loss of c-myc mRNA, and upregulation of p21WAF1 took place. Furthermore, a nearly complete ...

The expression of the human growth hormone (hGH) gene is regulated by several transcription factors. Basal level transcription factors include TATA box-binding proteins, Sp1, USF and CTF/NF-1. The hGH gene is expressed only in pituitary somatotrophs, and the pituitary-specific GHF-1/Pit-1 protein is a potent transcriptional stimulator. Glucocorticoid and thyroid hormones, insulin, and GHRH which acts via cAMP, also control hGH gene transcription via trans-acting factors some of which are the hormone ...

Several enzymatic properties of an endoglucanase produced in Escherichia coli by a gene from Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa were investigated. Gel filtration revealed a single peak of M r 36,000 with endoglucanase activity. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 7.0. Carboxymethyl cellulose and barley β-glucan (mixed β-1,3 and 1,4 linkages) were good substrates, but not laminarin (β-1,3 linkages), amylose, filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel), or cellotriose. The mode of action was ...

A child with X-linked osteopetrosis, lymphedema, anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and immunodeficiency (OL-EDA-ID) was recently reported. We report the clinical features of a second boy with this novel syndrome and his mother, who presented with signs of incontinentia pigmenti (IP). The child had mild osteopetrosis without neurosensory complications, unilateral lymphedema of the left leg, and characteristic features of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with sparse hair, facial dysmorphy, delayed eruption ...
