Exonuclease 1 (Exo 1) is an important nuclease involved in mismatch repair system that contributes to maintain genomic stability,
to modulate DNA recombination, and to mediate cell cycle arrest. A guanine (G)/adenine (A) common single nucleotide polymorphism
at first position of codon 589 in Exo 1 gene determines a glutamic acid (Glu, E) to lysine (Lys, K) (K589E) aminoacidic substitution
which may alter cancer risk by influencing the activity of Exo 1 protein. Exo 1 K589E polymorphism has been studied in various
cancers, but its association with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has yet to be investigated. To determine the association
of the Exo 1 K589E polymorphism with the risk of HCC development in a Turkish population, a hospital-based case–control study
was designed consisting of 224 subjects with HCC and 224 cancer-free control subjects matched for age, gender, smoking and
alcohol status. The genotype frequency of the Exo 1 K589E polymorphism was determined by using a polymerase chain reaction–restriction
fragment length polymorphism assay. Our data shows that the Lys/Lys genotype of the Exo 1 K589E polymorphism is associated
with increased risk of HCC development in this Turkish population [odds ratio (OR) = 2.15, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13–4.09,
P = 0.02]. Furthermore, according to stratified analysis, a significant association was observed between the homozygote Lys/Lys
genotype and HCC risk in the subgroups of male gender (OR = 2.67, 95% CI: 1.27–5.61, P = 0.009) and patients with non-viral-related HCC (OR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.09–8.99, P = 0.03). Because our results suggest for the first time that the Lys/Lys homozygote genotype of Exo 1 K589E polymorphism
may be a genetic susceptibility factor for HCC in the Turkish population, further independent studies are required to validate
our findings in a larger series, as well as in patients of different ethnic origins. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor p53 gene plays a crucial role in preventing carcinogenesis through its ability to induce cell cycle arrest
and apoptosis following DNA damage and oncogene activation. A guanine (G)/cytosine (C) common single nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP) at second position of codon 72 in exon 4 of p53 gene determines a arginine (Arg) to proline (Pro) (Arg72Pro) aminoacidic
substitution within the proline-rich domain of p53 protein. Arg72 and Pro72 allele are different from a biochemical and biological
point of view and many reports suggest that they can modulate individual cancer susceptibility. To determine the association
of the p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in a Turkish population, a hospital-based
case–control study was designed consisting of 119 subjects with HCC and 119 cancer-free control subjects matched for age,
gender, smoking and alcohol status. The genotype frequency of the p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism was determined by using a polymerase
chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Our data shows that the Pro/Pro genotype of the
p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism is associated with increased risk of HCC development in this Turkish population (OR = 3.20, 95%
CI: 1.24–8.22, P = 0.02). Furthermore, according to stratified analysis, a significant association was observed between the homozygote Pro/Pro
genotype and HCC risk in the subgroups of male gender (OR = 3.01, 95% CI: 1.14–7.97, P = 0.03) and patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC (OR = 4.04, 95% CI: 1.46–11.15, P = 0.007). Because our results suggest for the first time that the Pro/Pro homozygote of p53 Arg72Pro polymorphism may be
a genetic susceptibility factor for HCC (especially in the male gender and HBV-infected patients) in the Turkish population,
further independent studies are required to validate our findings in a larger series, as well as in patients of different
ethnic origins. 相似文献

In this study, the detailed pollen morphological structures of some endemic Turkish species of Centaurea amaena Boiss., C. antalyense H. Duman & A. Duran, C. aphrodisea Boiss., C. hierapolitana Boiss., C. luschaniana Heimerl, C. lycia Boiss., C. tossiensis Freyn. Et Sint., and C. wagenitzii Hub.-Mor. (Asteraceae, section Phaloletis) were studied under light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the first time. LM and SEM investigations showed that the pollen grains of eight taxa are more or less spheroidal-subprolate, the amb triangular and tricolporate. The exine sculpture is tectate, microechinate-scabrate in the pollen of Centaurea taxa. Spinules are less dense in Centaurea amaena, C. antalyense, C. hierapolitana, and C. lycia, but they are more dense in C. aphrodisea, C. luschaniana, C. tossiensis, and C. wagenitzii. Spinule dimensions are different from each other. The exine has one layer of columellae beneath the spines. We determined all taxa that have the Helianthoid type. Exine sctructure and sculpture as well as spine density and dimensions in Asteraceae are the most reliable characteristics for discriminating taxa. 相似文献

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the possible effects of a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor “Orlistat (Xenical)” on the intestinal absorption of oxalate and thereby on the urinary levels of oxalate excretion in overweight patients. Methods and Procedures: Long‐term follow‐up data of 95 cases (57 men, 38 women; M/W= 1.5) were documented. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups. While the patients in group I (n = 55) were treated with orlistat (Xenical) for 6 months, patients in group II (n = 40) received no specific medication. Calcium, oxalate, and citrate levels were determined in a 24‐h urine collection from each patient. To evaluate the significance in the groups as well as the differences between the two groups, ANOVA test was performed and the results were given as mean ± s.d. Results: Comparative evaluation of urinary oxalate levels during 3‐month follow‐up clearly showed that urinary oxalate excretion significantly increased in 34/55 patients (61.8%) in the first group (P < 0.05). Of these 34 patients, 30 (88.2%) continued to have increased urinary oxalate excretion during 6‐month follow‐up (P = 0.001). However, our data did not show any significant effect of this medication on urinary citrate and calcium levels during 3‐ and 6‐month follow‐up evaluation (P = 0.05). Discussion: Our results suggest that increased intestinal absorption of dietary oxalate due to this type of medication in obese patients could make a substantial contribution to urinary oxalate excretion and may increase the risk of stone formation. 相似文献

A few series of indole derivatives were screened for antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-HBV activities. The compounds were tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and for their antifungal activity against Candida albicans using a disc diffusion method, which measures the diameter of the inhibition zone around a paper disc soaked in a solution of the test compounds. The antimicrobial activity results showed that all compounds are as a active as the standard compound ampicillin against Staphylococcus aureus. It was also found that indole carboxamide derivatives, substituted at 3-position with several benzyl groups, showed better inhibition of Bacillus subtilis than their congeners substituted at 2-position. Activity patterns of the compounds against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were found slightly different by the same method. In this case, there was no correlation between structure and activity of the compounds. The antifungal activity of carboxamide derivatives was found higher compared to that of the propanamide derivatives. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of some indole derivatives were also determined by the tube dilution technique. The MIC values of the compounds were found nearly 20- to 100-fold smaller compared to the standard compounds ciprofloxacin and ampicillin (1.56-3.13 microg/ml and 1.56-12.5 microg/ml, respectively) against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. The MIC values of the tested compounds showed that these are better inhibitors for Candida albicans. Indole derivatives were screened by the anti-HBV susceptibility test. No compound showed good inhibition against the HBV virus. 相似文献

The human proton-coupled folate transporter (HsPCFT, SLC46A1) mediates intestinal absorption of folates and transport of folates into the liver, brain and other tissues. On Western blot, HsPCFT migrates as a broad band (~55 kDa), higher than predicted (~50 kDa) in cell lines. Western blot analysis required that membrane preparations not be incubated in the loading buffer above 50 degrees C to avoid aggregation of the protein. Treatment of membrane fractions from HsPCFT-transfected HeLa cells with peptidyl N-glycanase F, or cells with tunicamycin, resulted in conversion to a ~35 kDa species. Substitution of asparagine residues of two canonical glycosylation sites to glutamine, individually, yielded a ~47 kDa protein; substitution of both sites gave a smaller (~35 kDa) protein. Single mutants retained full transport activity; the double mutant retained a majority of activity. Transport function and molecular size were unchanged when the double mutant was hemagglutinin (HA) tagged at either the NH(2) or COOH terminus and probed with an anti-HA antibody excluding degradation of the deglycosylated protein. Wild-type or deglycosylated HsPCFT HA, tagged at amino or carboxyl termini, could only be visualized on the plasma membrane when HeLa cells were first permeabilized, consistent with the intracellular location of these domains. 相似文献

Solid-phase extraction method was developed for the preconcentration of thorium (Th). Fungal biomass Agaricus bisporus was immobilized to Amberlite XAD-4 as solid-phase sorbent. The critical parameters such as pH of the sample solution, flow rate of the sample, volume of the sample, and the effect of major ions that affect the preconcentration of thorium in this system were evaluated. The optimum pH for the sorption of Th is 6.0, and quantitative elution occurs with 1.0 mol L?1HCl. The loading capacity was determined as 0.079 mmol g?1. The optimized method was validated through analysis of the certified reference material of tea leaves (NCS ZC73014) and successfully applied to the determination of Th in a real ore sample with satisfactory results. 相似文献
