Abstract I evaluated use of the fluorescence polarization technique to measure neocarzinostatin, a proteinaceous antitumor antibiotic, and its antibody, in serum. The antigen (neocarzinostatin), labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate, was allowed to interact with its antibody in a cuvet, in the instrument, yielding an increase in the fluorescence polarization value. Antibody content was determined in the presence of a definite amount of the labeled antigen, fluorescence polarization values increasing in parallel with each addition of antibody. Antigen content was determined with a known amount of antibody, which reacted at first with an unknown amount of antigen in samples, followed by addition of a definite amount of the labeled antigen (competition). I used the method to determine a pharmacokinetic parameter, the apparent volume of distribution for neocarzinostatin in rabbits, using drug-injected rabbit sera. I evaluated precision, accuracy, and reproducibility, using various samples or possible interfering substances such as bilirubin and hemoglobin, and also compared results for antigen with those by single radial immunodiffusion assay. The present assay is fast (less than 2 min), sensitive (less than 10 nmol/liter can be detected), and simple (there is no separation step before readout of the results).

Betel quid (BQ) is a psychostimulant, an addictive substance, and a group 1 carcinogen that exhibits the potential to induce adverse health effects. Approximately, 600 million users chew a variety of BQ. Areca nut (AN) is a necessary ingredient in BQ products. Arecoline is the primary alkaloid in the AN and can be metabolized through the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily by inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Full-length CYP26B1 is related to the development of oral pharyngeal cancers. We investigated whether a splice variant of CYP26B1 is associated with the occurrence of ROS related oral and pharyngeal cancer. Cytotoxicity assays were used to measure the effects of arecoline on cell viability in a dose-dependent manner.In vitroandin vivostudies were conducted to evaluate the expression of the CYP26B1 splice variant. The CYP26B1 splice variant exhibited lower expression than did full-length CYP26B1 in the human gingival fibroblast-1 and Ca9-22 cell models. Increased expression of the CYP26B1 splice variant was observed in human oral cancer tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue, and increased expression was observed in patients at a late tumor stage. Our results suggested that the CYP26B1 splice variant is associated with the occurrence of BQ-related oral cancer.
