Fanconi anemia (FA) is a recessive chromosomal instability syndrome that is clinically characterized by multiple symptoms. Chromosome breakage hypersensitivity to alkylating agents is the gold standard test for FA diagnosis. In this study, we provide a detailed laboratory protocol for accurate assessment of FA diagnosis based on mitomycin C (MMC) test. Induced chromosomal breakage study was successful in 171 out of 205 aplastic anemia (AA) patients. According to the sensitivity of MMC at 50 ng/ml, 38 patients (22.22%) were diagnosed as affected and 132 patients (77.17%) as unaffected. Somatic mosaicism was suspected in an 11-year-old patient with a FA phenotype. Twenty-six siblings of FA patients were also evaluated and five of them (19.23%) were diagnosed as FA. From this study, a standard protocol for diagnosis of FA was developed. It is routinely used as a diagnostic test of FA in Tunisia. 相似文献

The initial microorganism adhesion on substrate is an important step for the biofilm formation. The surface properties of the stainless steel and B. cereus were characterized by the sessile drop technique. Moreover, the physicochemical properties of surface adhesion and the impact of bio adhesion to the stainless steel were determined at different time of contact (2, 4, 7, 9 and 24 h). The results showed that the strain was hydrophilic (Giwi = 3.37 mJ/m2), whereas the substratum has hydrophobic character (Giwi = ?57.6 mJ/m2). Stainless steel surface presents a weak electron-donor character (γ? = 4.1 mJ/m2) conversely to B. cereus that presents an important parameter (γ? = 31.6 mJ/m2). The bio adhesion was investigated at different time of contact. The data analysis after 2 h, confirmed the adhesion of B. cereus with an amount of 10 cfu/cm2 which increased to 1.2104 cfu/cm2 after 24 h. Interestingly, despite the difference of hydropohbicity, the interaction between B. cereus and substratum was favored by the thermodynamic aspect of adhesion (ΔGadhesion < 0). Interestingly, the study of the effect of B. cereus adhesion on the stainless steel has revealed that, the substratum becomes hydrophilic (θ° = 41.3, ΔGiwi = 39.6 mJ/m2) and highly electron donor (Γ? = 52.9 mJ/m2) after 2 h of bio adhesion. 相似文献

Seven culturable bacterial isolates, obtained from the internal stem tissues of Solanum elaeagnifolium and successfully colonizing the internal stem tissues of tomato cv. Rio Grande, were screened for their in vivo antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) and their growth‐promoting potential on tomato plants. SV101 and SV104 isolates, assessed on pathogen‐challenged tomato plants led to a significant decrease (77–83%) in Fusarium wilt severity and vascular browning extent (76%), as compared to the inoculated and untreated control. Isolates enhanced growth parameters on pathogen‐challenged and unchallenged tomato plants. SV104 and SV101 isolates were most effective in suppressing disease and enhancing plant growth. These two isolates were identified as Bacillus sp. str. SV101 ( KU043040 ) and B. tequilensis str. SV104 ( KU976970 ). They displayed antifungal activity against FOL; pathogen growth was inhibited by 64% and an inhibition zone (11.50 and 19.75 mm) against FOL could be formed using whole cell suspensions. SV101 and SV104 extracellular metabolites also inhibited FOL growth by 20 and 55%, respectively, as compared to control. B. tequilensis str. SV104 was shown to produce protease, chitinase, pectinase, IAA and siderophores. Bacillus sp. str. SV101 displayed pectinase activity and was found to be an IAA‐producing and phosphate‐solubilizing agent. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting on S. elaeagnifolium use as a potential source of potent biocontrol and plant growth‐promoting agents. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was carried-out to evaluate the effect of three rates of salinity as abiotic stress on okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus) infected with the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) as biotic stress. Plant lengths and weights were significantly (p?≤?0.05) reduced except root weight and there was a positive correlation between increasing the salinity concentration from 0.1 to 0.3% and increasing the rate of reduction in plant criteria. The number of J2 in soil, galls, and eggmasses were decreased linked to increased salinity rate as compared to nematode control treatment. However, peroxidase and catalase activities were significantly reduced linked to increasing the salinity concentration from 0.1 to 0.3%. There was no significant difference between total phenols at all treatments. Meanwhile, there was no significant improvement in N, P, and K contents whereas photosynthetic pigments (a, b) and carotene were significantly (p?≤?0.05) reduced by nematode infection and increasing the salinity rate from 0.1 to 0.3%. 相似文献

Sixteen Arab lactating mares belonging to Al-Zahraa Arab Horse Stud underwent two ultrasound examinations at 3 weeks interval starting from the day of demonstration of foaling heat. In addition, daily blood samples were collected from parturition until after exhibiting first postpartum estrus (day 11) with daily observation of estrous signs. Both leptin and estradiol hormones were assayed. Mean day of foaling heat was 8.9 ± 0.9 day. Most mares came in foaling heat during days 9 and 10 had high conception rate compared to those who came in estrus earlier or later. Estradiol levels were high after day of foaling then decrease after expression of foaling heat. But leptin levels increase from day 8 to day 10 compared to other days before and after the first ovulation. A significant positive correlation was found between estradiol and leptin (r = 0.58, p < 0.025). The positive correlation between leptin and estradiol led us to suggest that leptin hormone plays an important role in ovulation of the first postpartum estrus in mares. 相似文献

Caulobacter crescentus synthesizes an S-layer-editing metalloprotease possessing a domain sharing sequence similarity with its paracrystalline S-layer protein 下载免费PDF全文

Strains of Caulobacter crescentus elaborate an S-layer, a two-dimensional protein latticework which covers the cell surface. The S-layer protein (RsaA) is secreted by a type I mechanism (relying on a C-terminal signal) and is unusual among type I secreted proteins because high levels of protein are produced continuously. In efforts to adapt the S-layer for display of foreign peptides and proteins, we noted a proteolytic activity that affected S-layer monomers with foreign inserts. The cleavage was precise, resulting in fragments with an unambiguous N-terminal sequence. We developed an assay to screen for loss of this activity (i.e., presentation of foreign peptides without degradation), using transposon and traditional mutagenesis. A metalloprotease gene designated sap (S-layer-associated protease) was identified which could complement the protease-negative mutants. The N-terminal half of Sap possessed significant similarity to other type I secreted proteases (e.g., alkaline protease of Pseudomonas aeruginosa), including the characteristic RTX repeat sequences, but the C-terminal half which normally includes the type I secretion signal exhibited no such similarity. Instead, there was a region of significant similarity to the N-terminal region of RsaA. We hypothesize that Sap evolved by combining the catalytic portion of a type I secreted protease with an S-layer-like protein, perhaps to associate with nascent S-layer monomers to "scan" for modifications. 相似文献

In vitro ovarian follicle culture is a new frontier in assisted reproductive technology with tremendous potential, especially
for fertility preservation. Folliculogenesis within the ovary is a complex process requiring interaction between somatic cell
components and the oocyte. Conventional two-dimensional culture on tissue culture substrata impedes spherical growth and preservation
of the spatial arrangements between oocyte and surrounding granulosa cells. Granulosa cell attachment and migration can leave
the oocyte naked and unable to complete the maturation process. Recognition of the importance of spatial arrangements between
cells has spurred research in to three-dimensional culture system. Such systems may be vital when dealing with human primordial
follicles that may require as long as three months in culture. In the present work we review pertinent aspects of in vitro
follicle maturation, with an emphasis on tissue-engineering solutions for maintaining the follicular unit during the culture
interval. We focus primarily on presenting the various 3-dimensional culture systems that have been applied for in vitro maturation
of follicle:oocyte complexes. We also try to present an overview of outcomes with various biomaterials and animal models and
also the limitations of the existing systems. 相似文献

We previously characterized several tumor-specific T cell clones from PBL and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes of a lung cancer patient with identical TCR rearrangements and similar lytic potential, but with different antitumor response. A role of the TCR inhibitory molecule CD5 to impair reactivity of peripheral T cells against the tumor was found to be involved in this process. In this report, we demonstrate that CD5 also controls the susceptibility of specific T cells to activation-induced cell death (AICD) triggered by the tumor. Using a panel of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and PBL-derived clones expressing different levels of CD5, our results indicate that T lymphocyte AICD in response to the cognate tumor is inversely proportional to the surface expression level of CD5. They also suggest a direct involvement of CD5 in this process, as revealed by an increase in tumor-mediated T lymphocyte AICD following neutralization of the molecule with specific mAb. Mechanistically, our data indicate that down-regulation of FasL expression and subsequent inhibition of caspase-8 activation are involved in CD5-induced T cell survival. These results provide evidence for a role of CD5 in the fate of peripheral tumor-specific T cells and further suggest its contribution to regulate the extension of CTL response against tumor. 相似文献
