  abstract  = {Mast cell differentiation and proliferation depends on IL-3. IL-3 induces the activation of MAP-kinases and STATs and consequently induces proliferation and survival. Dysregulation of IL-3 signaling pathways also contribute to inflammation and tumorigenesis. We show here that IL-3 induces a SFK- and Ca2\(^{+}\)-dependent activation of the inhibitor of κB kinases 2 (IKK2) which results in mast cell proliferation and survival but does not induce IκBα-degradation and NFκB activation. Therefore we propose the term "subthreshold IKK activation". This subthreshold IKK activation also primes mast cells for enhanced responsiveness to IL-33R signaling. Consequently, co-stimulation with IL-3 and IL-33 increases IKK activation and massively enhances cytokine production induced by IL-33. We further reveal that in neoplastic mast cells expressing constitutively active Ras, subthreshold IKK activation is associated with uncontrolled proliferation. Consequently, pharmacological IKK inhibition reduces tumor growth selectively by inducing apoptosis in vivo. Together, subthreshold IKK activation is crucial to mediate the full IL-33-induced effector functions in primary mast cells and to mediate uncontrolled proliferation of neoplastic mast cells. Thus, IKK2 is a new molecularly defined target structure.},

  abstract  = {Die adjuvante Radiochemotherapie des Rektumkarzinoms im UICC-Stadium II/III wird seit 1991 von National Cancer Institute (NCI) und in Deutschland seit 1994 als Standard empfohlen. Die Qualit{\"a}t und Ergebnisse der postoperativen Therapie in der t{\"a}glichen klinischen Praxis wurden fl{\"a}chendeckend retrospektiv untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 534 Patienten aus 6 Institutionen ausgewertet, die zwischen 1993 und 1998 behandelt wurden. Die beteiligten Kliniken versorgten strahlentherapeutisch fl{\"a}chendeckend große Teile des nordbayerischen Raumes. Die Stadienverteilung der Patienten war: UICC I 1\%, II 28\%, III 69\% und IV 2\%. 92\% erhielten eine RChT, 8\% eine alleinige RT. Die mediane Nachbeobachtungszeit der Patienten betrug 40 Monate. Ergebnisse (Teil B): Die Qualit{\"a}t der adjuvanten Therapie entsprach den g{\"u}ltigen Standards. Die lokale Kontrolle wurde in der multivariaten Analyse signifikant durch die pT- und pN-Kategorie, das Tumorgrading und eine RChT anstelle einer alleinigen RT beeinflusst. Bei 6\% aller Patienten war nicht in sano, d.h. R1/R2 reseziert worden; bei 33\% der pN0 kategorisierten Tumoren wurden weniger als die geforderten 12 Lymphknoten untersucht; beides f{\"u}hrte zu einer signifikant reduzierten lokalen Kontrolle. Weitere Ergebnisse siehe Teil A. Schlussfolgerung: Der niedrige Anteil an der adjuvanten Therapie zugewiesenen Patienten sowie die im Vergleich zu randomisierten Studien ung{\"u}nstigeren Ergebnisse weisen auf die Auswahl eines Risikokollektivs hin. Anstelle einer stadienbezogenen Zuweisung scheint eine Auswahl mit individueller Risikoabsch{\"a}tzung durch den Chirurgen bevorzugt zu werden. Neben Therapieverbesserungen durch randomisierte Studien sollten ebenso Anstrengungen zur {\"U}bertragung dieser Ergebnisse in die fl{\"a}chendeckende Praxis unternommen werden.},

  abstract  = {Background BRCA1 and, more commonly, BRCA2 mutations are associated with increased risk of male breast cancer (MBC). However, only a paucity of data exists on the pathology of breast cancers (BCs) in men with BRCA1/2 mutations. Using the largest available dataset, we determined whether MBCs arising in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers display specific pathologic features and whether these features differ from those of BRCA1/2 female BCs (FBCs). Methods We characterised the pathologic features of 419 BRCA1/2 MBCs and, using logistic regression analysis, contrasted those with data from 9675 BRCA1/2 FBCs and with population-based data from 6351 MBCs in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results Among BRCA2 MBCs, grade significantly decreased with increasing age at diagnosis (P = 0.005). Compared with BRCA2 FBCs, BRCA2 MBCs were of significantly higher stage (P for trend = 2 × 10-5) and higher grade (P for trend = 0.005) and were more likely to be oestrogen receptor-positive [odds ratio (OR) 10.59; 95 \% confidence interval (CI) 5.15-21.80] and progesterone receptor-positive (OR 5.04; 95 \% CI 3.17-8.04). With the exception of grade, similar patterns of associations emerged when we compared BRCA1 MBCs and FBCs. BRCA2 MBCs also presented with higher grade than MBCs from the SEER database (P for trend = 4 × 10-12). Conclusions On the basis of the largest series analysed to date, our results show that BRCA1/2 MBCs display distinct pathologic characteristics compared with BRCA1/2 FBCs, and we identified a specific BRCA2-associated MBC phenotype characterised by a variable suggesting greater biological aggressiveness (i.e., high histologic grade). These findings could lead to the development of gender-specific risk prediction models and guide clinical strategies appropriate for MBC management.},
