Oxidative Uranium Release from Anoxic Sediments under Diffusion-Limited Conditions
Uranium
(U) contamination occurs as a result of mining and ore
processing; often in alluvial aquifers that contain organic-rich,
reduced sediments that accumulate tetravalent U, UÂ(IV). UraniumÂ(IV)
is sparingly soluble, but may be mobilized upon exposure to nitrate
(NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup>) and oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>), which
become elevated in groundwater due to seasonal fluctuations in the
water table. The extent to which oxidative U mobilization can occur
depends upon the transport properties of the sediments, the rate of
UÂ(IV) oxidation, and the availability of inorganic reductants and
organic electron donors that consume oxidants. We investigated the
processes governing U release upon exposure of reduced sediments to
artificial groundwater containing O<sub>2</sub> or NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup> under diffusion-limited conditions. Little U was mobilized
during the 85-day reaction, despite rapid diffusion of groundwater
within the sediments and the presence of nonuraninite UÂ(IV) species.
The production of ferrous iron and sulfide in conjunction with rapid
oxidant consumption suggested that the sediments harbored large concentrations
of bioavailable organic carbon that fueled anaerobic microbial respiration
and stabilized UÂ(IV). Our results suggest that seasonal influxes of
O<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup> may cause only
localized mobilization of U without leading to export of U from the
reducing sediments when ample organic carbon is present

DataSheet_1_Citrullinated glucose-regulated protein 78 is a candidate target for melanoma immunotherapy.docx
IntroductionPost translational modification of proteins plays a significant role in immune recognition. In particular the modification of arginine to citrulline which is mediated by PAD enzymes is increased during cellular stress (autophagy) which permits the presentation of modified epitopes upon MHC class II molecules for recognition by CD4 T cells. Citrullination also occurs in tumour cells as a result of continuous environmental stresses and increased autophagy. We have shown in animal models the efficient stimulation of citrullinated epitope specific CD4 T cells resulting in dramatic elimination/regression of tumours. The ER chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is known to also be required for stress-induced autophagy and is directly linked to autophagosome formation. GRP78 is known to be highly expressed by many tumour types. In this study we investigate the potential of targeting citrullinated GRP78 for cancer therapy.MethodsA citrullinated GRP78 specific antibody was used to assess citrullinated GRP78 expression in murine and human tumour cells by flow cytometry. Five peptides were selected and used to vaccinate HLA transgenic mice and immune responses were characterised by ex vivo cytokine ELISpot assay. T cell repertoire in humans was assessed through proliferation assays and cytokine ELISpot assay. Citrullinated peptide was identified in murine B16 melanoma by mass spectrometry and the peptide vaccine was assessed for tumour therapy in a mouse melanoma model.ResultsWe show the identification CD4 T cell responses to one citrullinated GRP78 epitope that are restricted through HLA DP*0401 and HLA-DR*0101 alleles. This peptide is detected by mass spectrometry in B16 melanoma grown in vivo and citrulline specific CD4 responses to two peptides spanning this epitope mediate efficient therapy of established B16 melanoma tumours in HHDII/DP4 (pConclusionWe propose that citrullinated GRP78 is a candidate tumour antigen and vaccination against citrullinated GRP78 may provide a promising tumour therapy approach.</p
