Loss of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is linked to gene body hypermethylation in kidney cancer

Both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and its oxidized form 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) have been proposed to be involved in tumorigenesis. Because the readout of the broadly used 5mC mapping method, bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq), is the sum of 5mC and 5hmC levels, the 5mC/5hmC patterns and relationship of these two modifications remain poorly understood. By profiling real 5mC (BS-seq corrected by Tet-assisted BS-seq, TAB-seq) and 5hmC (TAB-seq) levels simultaneously at single-nucleotide resolution, we here demonstrate that there is no global loss of 5mC in kidney tumors compared with matched normal tissues. Conversely, 5hmC was globally lost in virtually all kidney tumor tissues. The 5hmC level in tumor tissues is an independent prognostic marker for kidney cancer, with lower levels of 5hmC associated with shorter overall survival. Furthermore, we demonstrated that loss of 5hmC is linked to hypermethylation in tumors compared with matched normal tissues, particularly in gene body regions. Strikingly, gene body hypermethylation was significantly associated with silencing of the tumor-related genes. Downregulation of IDH1 was identified as a mechanism underlying 5hmC loss in kidney cancer. Restoring 5hmC levels attenuated the invasion capacity of tumor cells and suppressed tumor growth in a xenograft model. Collectively, our results demonstrate that loss of 5hmC is both a prognostic marker and an oncogenic event in kidney cancer by remodeling the DNA methylation pattern.

Efficacy of Four Nematicides Against the Reproduction and Development of Pinewood Nematode,Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

To understand the efficacy of emamectin benzoate, avermectin, milbemectin, and thiacloprid on the reproduction and development of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, seven parameters, namely population growth, fecundity, egg hatchability, larval lethality, percent larval development, body size, and sexual ratio, were investigated using sublethal (LC₂₀) doses of these compounds in the laboratory. Emamectin benzoate treatment led to a significant suppression in population size, brood size, and percent larval development with 411, 3.50, and 49.63%, respectively, compared to 20850, 24.33, and 61.43% for the negative control. The embryonic and larval lethality increased obviously from 12.47% and 13.70% to 51.37% and 75.30%, respectively. In addition, the body length was also significantly reduced for both males and females in the emamectin benzoate treatment. Avermectin and milbemectin were also effective in suppressing population growth by increasing larval lethality and reducing larval development, although they did not affect either brood size or embryonic lethality. Body length for both male and female worms was increased by avermectin. Thiacloprid caused no adverse reproductive effects, although it suppressed larval development. Sexual ratio was not affected by any of these four nematicides. Our results indicate that emamectin benzoate, milbemectin, and avermectin are effective against the reproduction of B. xylophilus. We think these three nematicides can be useful for the control of pine wilt disease.

Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism and Colorectal Neoplasm: Results from a Meta-Analysis

To investigate the relationship of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene polymorphism to colorectal neoplasia (CRN), we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligible studies were identified through a systematic literature review from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Science Citation Index up to February 2014. A combined analysis was performed, followed by a subgroup analyses stratified by the study design. We used data collected from 8 prospective studies involving respectively a total of 9243 participants and 4310 CRN cases which including 438 patients with colorectal adenoma (CRA), and 3873 patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The pooled data from this meta-analysis indicated there was no significant association between APOE polymorphism and CRN (ε2: P = 0.51, OR 1.04 95% CI 0.93 to 1.16; ε4: P = 0.72, OR 0.98 95% CI 0.90 to 1.07). Interestingly, subgroup analysis demonstrated there was a significant decreased risk for proximal CRN in patients with APOE ε4 (P = 0.0007, OR 0.52 95% CI 0.35 to 0.76). Data showed no significant association between APOE genotype and overall CRN. However, compared with those carry APOE ε3 alleles, persons with APOE ε4 genotype have significant decreased risk suffering from proximal CRN but not from distal CRN.     

增压辅助旅居人对高原的适应

在海拔4500m处,对26名18～43岁男性移居人进行了用增压车增压辅助对高原适应的研究。在增压30kPa时,心肺储备能力增强。除压速度>0.44m/s,会产生明显适应不良反应;除压速度<0.33m/s,不发生明显不适,并使增压过程中的心率减慢效应持续到除压后数小时。夜间睡眠增压,能消除睡眠中的潮式呼吸,改善若干高原适应不良症状。在33d内经18次断续增压处理的4名对象未损害正常的习服能力。结论:在4500m 高度用合理的增压,可辅助人体对高原的适应。     

A unified likelihood-based approach for estimating population size in continuous-time capture-recapture experiments with frailty

A unified likelihood-based approach is proposed to estimate population size for a continuous-time closed capture-recapture experiment with frailty. The frailty model allows the capture intensity to vary with individual heterogeneity, time, and behavioral response. The individual heterogeneity effect is modeled as being gamma distributed. The first-capture and recapture intensities are assumed to be in constant proportion but may otherwise vary arbitrarily through time. The approach is also extended to capture-recapture experiments with possible random removals. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed estimators. By asymptotic efficiency comparison and simulation studies, the proposed estimators have been shown to be superior to their discrete-time model counterparts in genuine continuous-time capture-recapture experiments.     

转大麻哈鱼生长激素基因鲤生态安全性检测与分析

评价了转大麻哈鱼（Oncorhynchus Suckley）生长激素基因鲤生态安全性问题及研究转基因鱼对天然野生鲤群体遗传污染程度。通过RAPD和SSLP方法,用265个RAPD标记和35对鲤的微卫星标记对受杂交鲤污染的哈尔滨江段黑龙江鲤群体、未受污染的抚远江段黑龙江鲤群体及模拟转基因鲤占普通鲤群体的1%和10%比例获得繁殖子代等实验群体的DNA样本进行全基因组扫描统计分析得出结论,即转基因鲤占普通鲤群体1%时对普通群体的基因污染程度是微乎其微的,远远低于杂交鲤对野生群体基因污染,转基因鲤占普通鲤群体10%时对普通鲤遗传背景的影响稍有升高,但仍然远远低于杂交鲤对野生群体基因污染程度。总之,在现有的检测技术条件及有效的监控条件下,与杂交鲤相比转基因鲤对鲤野生群体的遗传背景的影响是微弱的,而外来种和杂交种则对生态环境有严重威胁。
