The first successful attempt to reprogram somatic cell into embryonic‐like stem cell was achieved on 2006. Since then, it had sparked a race against time to bring this wonderful invention from bench to bedside but it is not easily achieved due to severe problems in term of epigenetic and genomic. With each problem arise, new technique and protocol will be constructed to try to overcome it. This review addresses the various techniques made available to create iPSC with problems hogging down the technique. J. Cell. Biochem. 114: 1230–1237, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Bemisia tabaci is one of the most threatening pests in many crops. We sequenced part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene from fifty whitefly populations collected in Indonesia, Thailand, India and China. Nineteen unique sequences (haplotypes) of the cytochrome oxidase I were identified in these populations. They were combined with sequences available in databases, resulting in a total of 407 haplotypes and analyzed together with nine outgroup accessions. A phylogenetic tree was calculated using the maximum likelihood method. The tree showed that all groups that were found in previous studies were also present in our study. Additionally, seven new groups were identified based on the new haplotypes. Most B. tabaci haplotypes grouped based on their geographical origin. Two groups were found to have a worldwide distribution. Our results indicate that our knowledge on the species complex around B. tabaci is still far from complete. 相似文献

A novel and simple method was developed for the preparation of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles by chemical co-precipitation method and subsequent coating with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) through silanization process. Magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan particles were prepared by the suspension cross-linking and covalent technique to be used in the application of magnetic carrier technology. The synthesized immobilization supports were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Using glutaraldehyde as the coupling agent, the lipase from R. oryzae was successfully immobilized onto the functionalized magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan beads. The results showed that 86.60% of R. oryzae lipase was bound on the synthesized immobilization support. This immobilized lipase was successfully used for the esterification of phenolic acid which resulted in esterification of phenolic acid in isooctane solvent reaction system for 8 consecutive cycles (totally 384 h), 72.6% of its initial activity was retained, indicating a high stability in pharmaceutical and industrial applications. 相似文献

The KIT gene is a receptor tyrosine kinase class III expressed by early hematopoietic progenitor cells and plays a significant role in hematopoietic stem cell proliferation, differentiation and survival which is considered to be a remarkable feature in the course of growth of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Owing to insufficient study of mutations in the KIT gene, the diagnosis and rate of recurrence of these mutations with divergent subtypes in AML cases in India is of concern. In order to find out the frequency of mutations of KIT gene exon 8 in 109 AML cases, we have performed polymerase chain reaction–single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR–SSCP) followed by DNA sequencing and have identified 24 mutations in exon 8 in 13 cases, including deletions at codon 418 (n = 3), 419 (n = 11) and 420 (n = 5) as well as point mutations at codon 417 (n = 1) and 421 (n = 4). In eleven AML cases, exon 8 deletion and point mutations involved the loss at codon Asp419 immoderately conserved cross species placed in the receptor extracellular domain. Frequency elevation of the KIT proto-oncogene exon 8 deletion and point mutations in AML cases allude a crucial function for this region of the receptor extracellular domain. Thus, we report the incidence of acquired mutations in exon 8, with consistent loss at codon Asp419, in 10.09 % of AML cases in a selected Indian population. 相似文献

Channa striata, locally known as "haruan", is economically important in fisheries and aquaculture industries in several Asian countries. DNA sequencing, based on a partial segment of the Cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (CO1) gene, was used to determine genetic variation in C. striata samples from four different populations on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The highest nucleotide and haplotype diversities were observed in the Linggi population (π = 0.0067, h = 0.835), and the lowest in the Timah Tasoh population (π = 0.0008, h = 0.286). Apart from Kajang-Linggi, which was insignificant, F(ST) values were significant (p < 0.05) in all pairwise-population comparisons. Consequently, it is inferred that genetic structuring C. striata populations in this region was largely shaped by a common origin, with secondary influences from geographical factors and isolation. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequences of a partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene were used to assess the manner in which historical processes and geomorphological effects may have influenced genetic structuring and phylogeographic patterns in Channa striata. Assaying was based on individuals from twelve populations in four river systems, which were separated into two regions, the eastern and western, of the biodiversely rich state of Perak in central Peninsular Malaysia. In 238 specimens, a total of 368-bp sequences with ten polymorphic sites and eleven unique haplotypes were detected. Data on all the twelve populations revealed incomplete divergence due to past historical coalescence and the short period of separation. Nevertheless, SAMOVA and F(ST) revealed geographical structuring existed to a certain extent in both regions. For the eastern region, the data also showed that the upstream populations were genetically significantly different compared to the mid- and downstream ones. It is inferred that physical barriers and historical processes played a dominant role in structuring the genetic dispersal of the species. A further inference is that the Grik, Tanjung Rambutan and Sungkai are potential candidates for conservation and aquaculture programmes since they contained most of the total diversity in this area. 相似文献

Background
Depression is associated with an unusually high rate of aging-related illnesses and early mortality. One aspect of “accelerated aging” in depression may be shortened leukocyte telomeres. When telomeres critically shorten, as often occurs with repeated mitoses or in response to oxidation and inflammation, cells may die. Indeed, leukocyte telomere shortening predicts early mortality and medical illnesses in non-depressed populations. We sought to determine if leukocyte telomeres are shortened in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), whether this is a function of lifetime depression exposure and whether this is related to putative mediators, oxidation and inflammation.Methodology
Leukocyte telomere length was compared between 18 unmedicated MDD subjects and 17 controls and was correlated with lifetime depression chronicity and peripheral markers of oxidation (F2-isoprostane/Vitamin C ratio) and inflammation (IL-6). Analyses were controlled for age and sex.Principal Findings
The depressed group, as a whole, did not differ from the controls in telomere length. However, telomere length was significantly inversely correlated with lifetime depression exposure, even after controlling for age (p<0.05). Average telomere length in the depressed subjects who were above the median of lifetime depression exposure (≥9.2 years'' cumulative duration) was 281 base pairs shorter than that in controls (p<0.05), corresponding to approximately seven years of “accelerated cell aging.” Telomere length was inversely correlated with oxidative stress in the depressed subjects (p<0.01) and in the controls (p<0.05) and with inflammation in the depressed subjects (p<0.05).Conclusions
These preliminary data indicate that accelerated aging at the level of leukocyte telomeres is proportional to lifetime exposure to MDD. This might be related to cumulative exposure to oxidative stress and inflammation in MDD. This suggest that telomere shortening does not antedate depression and is not an intrinsic feature. Rather, telomere shortening may progress in proportion to lifetime depression exposure. 相似文献69.

Background: Leukaemia is a heterogeneous disease in which haematopoietic progenitor cells acquire genetic lesions that lead to a block in differentiation, increased self-renewal, and unregulated proliferation. The enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), involved in folate metabolism, plays a crucial role in cells because folate availability is important for DNA integrity. The aim of this case–control study was to evaluate the association of the C677T MTHFR gene polymorphism with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Materials and methods: A total of 275 leukaemia cases – including AML (n = 112), ALL (n = 81), CML (n = 43), CLL (n = 39) – and 251 age/sex-matched healthy control individuals participated in this study. MTHFR C677T polymorphisms in the cases and controls were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: The average MTHFR 677CC, 677CT, 677TT genotype frequencies of total leukaemia cases were 68.73%, 19.64%, and 11.64% in cases, and 71.71%, 24.30%, and 3.98% in healthy controls, respectively. The average frequency of the MTHFR 677T allele was 21.45% among the cases compared to 16.13% among the controls. Conclusions: In the present case–control study we have observed a higher frequency of the MTHFR 677TT genotype in cases of leukaemia (AML, ALL, CML and CLL) as compared with controls; this might be due to ethnic and geographic variation. As per our findings, although the frequency of the MTHFR 677T allele is moderately high in AML, ALL and CLL, no statistically significant association was found; on the other hand statistically significant association was found in the context of CML cases. 相似文献
