β-Glucan-Mediated Alleviation of NaCl Stress in Ocimum basilicum L. in Relation to the Response of Antioxidant Enzymes and Assessment DNA Marker

Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses which can negatively affect the plant metabolic processes in the world. This can impact the plant production, either for economic or sustenance benefits. The salinity stress can cause many physiological and biochemical changes in the plants. β-glucans are important polysaccharides, which are present in the cell walls of various cereal grains. They protect the plant responses and occur in plant suspensions. In this study, the researchers attempted to investigate various physiological mechanisms and determine the role of the β-glucans in the NaCl-mediated stress conditions on the Ocimum basilicum L. seedlings. For this purpose, they carried out an experiment for assessing various shoot and root parameters along with the antioxidant enzyme activities, proline levels and the ISSR markers. When the seedlings were exposed to the NaCl stress conditions, they showed a significant decrease in the growth parameters and an increase in the antioxidant and proline levels compared to the control seedlings grown under normal saline conditions. On the other hand, the β-glucantreated seeds, when grown under the saline stress conditions, showed better growth parameters as well as high antioxidant enzyme activities and proline levels, compared to the control and NaCl-treated plants. Furthermore, a PCR analysis was carried out using the ISSR-marker technology, which could help in evaluating the DNA fingerprints and genetic variations in the plants. The results indicated that the exogenous application of the β-glucans could protect the antioxidant enzyme activities and protect the plants against the salinity stresses, without affecting the DNA-markers without affecting the genetic variations and could be a better choice for use in DNA-markers.

Three nuclear DNA markers that diagnostically differentiate mussels within the Mytilus edulis complex (M. edulis, M. trossulus and M. galloprovincialis) are commonly used in taxonomic investigations: Glu5’, ITS and EFbis. As a rule, DNA extraction is performed before amplification. It is a time consuming process in the case of traditional methods based on chloroform and phenol extraction or relatively expensive using kits with ready spin columns. Moreover, DNA isolation from larvae is problematic, because of the small amount of tissue available. In this report we describe a simple, fast and inexpensive method of DNA extraction and gene amplification from larvae, spat and adults of the Baltic mussel Mytilus trossulus. The extraction method is adapted from that of Wang et al. (2006) and is based on digestion of tissue or whole animals in STE solution and direct gene amplification. On the basis of the results of routine analyses of mussels carried out in our laboratory we have concluded that the method we propose gives results that are consistent with standard methods, without requiring expensive reagents/equipment and is time saving.

Current and potential oncomarkers in diagnosing breast cancer

Breast cancer is a very serious disease from both an economical and social point of view, because of its high incidence and mortality, as well as its prevalence. Genetic and epigenetic changes as well as the resultant deregulation of mechanisms that affect cellular processes are reflected in the final stage, like significant variability in phenotype. These changes have multiple factors in clinical, morphological but also molecular terms, and they greatly affect the possibility of accurate diagnosis of breast cancer in its early stages. Since no combination of clinical examination, mammography and ultrasonography together with CT and MRI can achieve 100% sensitivity, clinical practice is supported with diagnostic methods based on the monitoring of tumour markers with the emphasis on molecular markers. This review describes the most common molecular markers already used for earlier clinical diagnostics and also proposes new possible markers from the tumour vascular markers group. Any new oncomarkers to improve diagnostic sensitivity and specificity will be of great benefit, and in clinical practice, they may provide an opportunity for early diagnostic and therapeutic intervention, and subsequently better prognosis for the patient as well.

Rak piersi jest bardzo poważną chorobą, zarówno z punktu widzenia ekonomicznego jak i społecznego, ze względu na dużą zachorowalność i umieralność, a także na zakres jego występowania. Zmiany genetyczne i epigenetyczne, jak również wynikająca z nich deregulacja mechanizmów, które wpływają na procesy komórkowe są odzwierciedlone w ostatnim stadium choroby, jak znaczna zmienność fenotypu. Zmiany te mają wiele przyczyn z punktu widzenia klinicznego, morfologicznego, ale również molekularnego oraz znacznie wpływają na możliwość dokładnego rozpoznania raka piersi w jego wczesnych fazach. Ponieważ żadna kombinacja badań klinicznych, mammografii i USG wraz z tomografią komputerową i obrazowaniem magnetyczno-rezonansowym nie może osiągnąć 100% czułości, praktyka kliniczna jest wspierana metodami diagnostycznymi opartymi na monitoringu markerów nowotworowych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem markerów molekularnych. Niniejsza recenzja opisuje najbardziej typowe markery molekularne wykorzystywane we wczesnej diagnostyce klinicznej, a także proponuje nowe potencjalne markery z grupy markerów nowotworowych TVMs . Wszelkie nowe markery nowotworowe poprawiające czułość i dokładność diagnostyki będą bardzo pomocne, a w praktyce klinicznej mogą pozwolić na wczesną diagnostykę i leczenie, co polepszy także rokowania pacjenta.
