Together these might indicate that saccharin stimulates both sweet and bitter receptors but that the affinity to T2Rs is much lower.
We recently showed that exogenous E2 markedly stimulates development of large syncytial aggregates in trophoblast cultures [ 15 ] . We also observed that this effect can be abolished with pure anti-estrogen ICI 182,780 (unpublished data).
The selective suppression of Th1 cell activity is believed to be due to IL-10 inhibition of IL-12, a differentiation factor for Th1 cells [ 11 12 ] . The release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates by macrophages is also suppressed by IL-10 [ 13 14 ] . In addition, IL-10 stimulates the production of cytokine inhibitors such as IL-1 receptor antagonist [ 15 ] . In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, IL-10 is produced by synovial membrane cells and is found at high levels in the synovial fluid [ 16 17 ] . It has been shown that suppression of IL-10 production by synovial cells is associated with increased levels of IL-1 and TNF-α, suggesting that IL-10 plays a suppressive role in rheumatoid arthritis joints [ 16 ] . It was also observed that IL-10 directly stimulated proteoglycan synthesis and reversed the cartilage degradation induced by activated mononuclear cells [ 18 ] . These immunosuppressive activities indicate that IL-10 is a potential therapeutic approach for autoimmune diseases.
We show that: (i) cCAF stimulates TN expression and that a 15 aa peptide containing the N-terminal sequence causes the same effects as the whole molecule; (ii) in contrast to its effects on TN production, cCAF-induced increase in FN and Coll I accumulation requires the whole molecule; (iii) the increase in FN protein is not a result of a corresponding increase in mRNA, or increase in MMP production or PA activity but appears to be linked TN production; (iv) increase in Coll I correlates with decreased levels of MMP-1; (v) cCAF chemoattracts fibroblasts and accelerates their migration; (vi) treatment of excision wounds with cCAF increased the levels of all three ECM molecules in the granulation tissue of wounds albeit with different dynamics.
A recent study in Drosophila suggested that Hh stimulates the pathway via Ptc degradation and, as a result, Smo is stabilized through extensive phosphorylation at the plasma membrane where it initiates signaling [ 5 ] . This led to speculation that a Ptc-regulated phosphatase may control the subcellular distribution and stability of Smo [ 5 ] . Although suggestive, the studies in Drosophila did not establish that phosphorylation, translocation or stabilization of Smo is required for pathway stimulation.
