Clinical and experimental data have demonstrated that inflammation plays fundamental roles in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is identified as a proinflammatory cytokine that is a key element in the ischemic cascade after cerebral ischemia. We aimed to examine the relationship between theIL-16polymorphisms and the risk of ischemic stroke in a Chinese population. A total of 198 patients with ischemic stroke and 236 controls were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing method. We found that the rs11556218TG genotype and G allele ofIL-16were associated with significantly increased risks of ischemic stroke (TG versus TT, adjusted OR = 1.88; 95% CI, 1.15–3.07; G versus T, adjusted OR = 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05–2.27, resp.). However, there were no significant differences in the genotype and allele frequencies ofIL-16rs4778889 T/C and rs4072111 C/T polymorphisms between the two groups, even after stratification analyses by age, gender, and the presence or absence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. These findings indicate that theIL-16polymorphism may be related to the etiology of ischemic stroke in the Chinese population.

Evaluation of the toxic effects of a widely used synthetic pyrethroid, deltamethrin (DM), was carried out in this study. This pesticide is preferred for pest control because of its low environmental persistence and toxicity. We investigated the expression pattern of four genes, namely, you ( you), yot ( you-too), momo ( mom) and ubo ( u-boot) during early development of zebrafish, that is, from 12 hpf to 48 hpf stages. These stages are selected as most of the important developmental aspects take place during this period. All four genes are known to play a vital role in development of notochord and somites. To understand the effect of DM on development, embryos of 4 hpf stage were exposed to two concentrations (100 and 200 µg/L) of DM, and observations were made at 12, 24 and 48 hpf stages. Our earlier studies have shown phenotypic abnormalities such as notochord bending, tail deformation, yolk sac and pericardial edema, lightening of body and eye pigmentation and interfered in somite patterning, during these stages of development. Understanding the relationship of phenotypic abnormalities with these four genes has been our primary objective. These four genes were analyzed by Reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction and intensity of the bands has shown induction in their expression after exposure to the toxicant. In spite of the expression of genes, it was noticed that DM caused abnormalities. It can be said from the results that translational pathway could have been affected.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly occurring cancer worldwide. Intestinal cells are CYP27B1 gene expression sites and, as a consequence, they are capable of converting pro-vitamin D into the active paracrine and autocrine forms. It was demonstrated that rs10877012 polymorphism in the CYP27B1 gene influenced the circulating vitamin D level. This provided a rationale for determining the role that this polymorphism plays in the risk of developing colon cancer. In this study, we investigated the association of rs10877012 (T/G) polymorphism in the CYP27B1 gene with CRC susceptibility. The study population (n = 325) included CRC patients (n = 106) and healthy controls (n = 219). DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes and analyzed for the CYP27B1 polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. We found an association between the presence of the T allele at the polymorphic site (odds ratio (OR) = 2.94; 95% CI 1.77–4.86; p < 0.0001) and a decreased CRC incidence.

AbstractStress syndrome is usually caused by a mutation in theryanodine receptorgene(ryr1) and it is widely studied in humans and swine populations. The protein product of this gene plays a crucial role in the regulation of calcium transport in muscle cells. A G>T mutation in the humanryr1gene, which results in the replacement of a conserved arginine at position 614 where a leucine occurs at the same position as the previously identified Arg→Cys mutation reported in all cases of porcine stress syndrome (PSS). Porcine stress syndrome affects biochemical pathways in stress-susceptible individuals during a stress episode and some biochemical parameters that were used as markers for diagnostic purposes. Also, PSS has remarkable influence on the maternal characteristics of sows. This study dealt with different genotypes for PSS and its association with possible biochemical changes and maternal traits of sows. Seventy-three reproductive sows genotyped for PSS by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were included in this survey. Sixty of them were stress-free (NN), 11 were heterozygous carriers (Nn) and two animals were homozygous (nn) for the 1843 (C>T) mutation. Significant differences in non stress induced animals with different PSS genotypes were found in the values of creatine phoshokinase (CPK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Regarding the maternal traits, our study showed that stress susceptible animals (nn) have an increased number of stillborn piglets and a reduced number of newborn piglets compared with heterozygous and normal animals.

Introduction - Le gène TP53 a fait l’objet de très nombreux travaux. Sa nature polymorphe et son rôle central dans la régulation du cycle cellulaire ont mis en évidence son potentiel de gène candidat dans la susceptibilité et la survenue de différents cancers. Bien que plusieurs polymorphismes du gène TP53 aient été étudiés comme facteurs de risque pour différents cancers, le plus largement étudié est le polymorphisme Arg72Pro (rs1042522), à l’origine d’une substitution d’une Arginie (Arg) en Proline (Pro) ou inversement, connu pour ses différentes fonctions biologiques.Notre objectif est d’explorer la participation du polymorphisme (SNP) Arg72Pro du gène TP53, dans l’expressivité du cancer colorectal (CCR) et du carcinome basocellulaire (CBC) dans une population de l’Ouest Algérien.Matériels et Méthodes - Le déséquilibre de transmission allélique de ce SNP a été réalisé sur une population constituée de 116 individus atteints de CCR, 50 sujets atteints de CBC et enfin une population contrôle constituée de 121 individus sains,par la technique de Biologie Moléculaire PCR/RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction/Restriction Fragment LengthPolymorphism).Résultats - L’association du marqueur Arg72Pro avec le CBC a montré une augmentation significative de l’allèle Pro chez les cas par rapport aux contrôles (54% vs 46%, OR=8,85 [4,98-16,03], p<10-7). Cet allèle semble conférer un risque important dedévelopper le CBC. Par ailleurs, les résultats n’ont montré aucune différence significative entre les sujets atteints de CCR et les contrôles, ce qui pourrait exclure son implication dans la survenue du CCR dans notre population (p>0.05).Conclusion - Le polymorphisme Arg72Pro du gène TP53 peut être considéré comme marqueur de risque pour le CBC mais pas pour le CCR.

Abstract Background Multidrug resistance member 1 (MDR1) is located on chromosome 7 and encodes P-glycoprotein (Pgp), which is universally accepted as a drug resistance biomarker. MDR1 polymorphisms may change either the protein expression or function, suggesting its possible association with cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Thus, this study aimed to determine the effects of MDR1 polymorphisms on the drug response of Saudi CRC patients.Methods DNA samples were obtained from 62 CRC patients and 100 healthy controls. The genotypes and allele frequencies of the MDR1 polymorphisms G2677T and T1236C were determined by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Results No significant difference was observed in the genotype distribution and allele frequency of T1236C between the CRC the patients and the controls. However, G2677T was found to play a highly significant protective role against the progression of CRC. Moreover, the results showed that none of the genotypes in SNPs T1236C and G2677T affected chemoresistance to Xeliri and Xelox.Conclusions T1236C in the MDR1 gene is not related to CRC risk, and G2677T protects against the development of CRC. Both MDR1 polymorphisms are not associated with the risk of chemoresistance.

Automatic microfluidic purification of nucleic acid is predictable to reduce the input of original samples and improve the throughput of library preparation for sequencing. Here, we propose a novel microfluidic system using an external NdFeB magnet to isolate DNA from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture. The DNA was purified and isolated when the DNA-carrying beads transported to the interface of multi-laminar flow under the influence of magnetic field. Prior to the DNA recovery experiments, COMSOL simulations were carried out to study the relationship between trajectory of beads and magnet positions as well as fluid velocities. Afterwards, the experiments to study the influence of varying velocities and input of samples on the DNA recovery were conducted. Compared to experimental results, the relative error of the final position of beads is less than 10%. The recovery efficiency decreases with increase of input or fluid velocity, and the maximum DNA recovery efficiency is 98.4% with input of l00 ng DNA at fluid velocity of 1.373 mm/s. The results show that simulations significantly reduce the time for parameter adjustment in experiments. In addition, this platform uses a basic two-layer chip to realize automatic DNA isolation without any other liquid switch value or magnet controller.
