Background
WNT4 and SF1 genes play an important role in ovarian development. They constitute coherent candidate genes associated with premature ovarian failure (POF) pathogenesis.Methods
We sequenced the coding region of WNT4 and SF1 in 55 Tunisian women with POF and 100 healthy controls.Results
We identified a synonymous variation in WNT4 (c.99G>A, p.Ser33Ser) and a substitution (c.G437C) in SF1 gene inducing G146 to Ala (GGG–GCG) missense mutation. WNT4 (c.99G>A, p.Ser33Ser) was not associated with POF pathology. However, a positive association of SF1 Gly146Ala polymorphism was noted. Gly146Ala minor allele frequency was significantly higher (p = 0.029) in POF patients versus controls and Ala allele containing genotypes (p = 0.005) were positively associated with POF pathology. The carriage of 146Ala allele was also associated with a significant reduction in estradiol plasma levels.Conclusions
SF1 Gly146Ala polymorphism seems to be associated with POF pathology in the Tunisian population likely by reducing estradiol levels. 相似文献13.

The coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving genetic as well as environmental factors. Recent evidence suggests that the oral microbiome has a significant role in triggering atherosclerosis. The present study assessed the oral microbiome composition variation between coronary patients and healthy subjects in order to identify a potential pathogenic signature associated with CAD. We performed metagenomic profiling of salivary microbiomes by 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) next-generation sequencing. Oral microbiota profiling was performed for 30 individuals including 20 patients with CAD and ten healthy individuals without carotid plaques or previous stroke or myocardial infarction.We found that oral microbial communities in patients and healthy controls are represented by similar global core oral microbiome. The predominant taxa belonged to Firmicutes (genus Streptococcus, Veillonella, Granulicatella, Selenomonas), Proteobacteria (genus Neisseria, Haemophilus), Actinobacteria (genus Rothia), Bacteroidetes (genus Prevotella, Porphyromonas), and Fusobacteria (genus Fusobacterium, Leptotrichia). More than 60% relative abundance of each sample for both CAD patients and controls is represented by three major genera including Streptococcus (24.97 and 26.33%), Veillonella (21.43 and 19.91%), and Neisseria (14.23 and 15.33%).Using penalized regression analysis, the bacterial genus Eikenella was involved as the major discriminant genus for both status and Syntax score of CAD. We also reported a significant negative correlation between Syntax score and Eikenella abundance in coronary patients’ group (Spearman rho = −0.68, P=0.00094).In conclusion, the abundance of Eikenella in oral coronary patient samples compared with controls could be a prominent pathological indicator for the development of CAD. 相似文献

Recently, it was demonstrated that pancreatic new-born glucagon-producing cells can regenerate and convert into insulin-producing β-like cells through the ectopic expression of a single gene, Pax4. Here, combining conditional loss-of-function and lineage tracing approaches, we show that the selective inhibition of the Arx gene in α-cells is sufficient to promote the conversion of adult α-cells into β-like cells at any age. Interestingly, this conversion induces the continuous mobilization of duct-lining precursor cells to adopt an endocrine cell fate, the glucagon+ cells thereby generated being subsequently converted into β-like cells upon Arx inhibition. Of interest, through the generation and analysis of Arx and Pax4 conditional double-mutants, we provide evidence that Pax4 is dispensable for these regeneration processes, indicating that Arx represents the main trigger of α-cell-mediated β-like cell neogenesis. Importantly, the loss of Arx in α-cells is sufficient to regenerate a functional β-cell mass and thereby reverse diabetes following toxin-induced β-cell depletion. Our data therefore suggest that strategies aiming at inhibiting the expression of Arx, or its molecular targets/co-factors, may pave new avenues for the treatment of diabetes. 相似文献

This study investigates the effect of subchronic exposure to tetradifon, an organochlorine pesticide with an oestrogen-like structure, in female rat. A single cumulative dose of 2430 mg/kg BW was administrated orally for 12 female rats of 190 g BW. Twelve non-treated additional rats have served as controls. Animals were sacrificed after 6 and 12 weeks of treatment. We studied bone remodelling through histomorphometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The serum and the right femora were used to determine phosphatase alkaline (AlkP) and/or calcium and phosphorus content. No sign of toxicity was observed until the end of the experiment. The SEM results revealed no structural alteration of the treated animal bone tissue. However, in both treated groups, we have noted an increase in the trabecular distance and a heterogeneous aspect of the endosteum that could be explained by bone-remodelling disturbance, with relative delay of ossification. Following histomorphomotric analysis, these results were coupled with significant increases in Tb.Th and OS/BS. Elsewhere, tetradifon intoxication increased significant serum AlkP level in the group treated for 12 weeks, which could be explained by an osteoblastic hyperactivity. Tetradifon intoxication decreased significantly bone calcium end phosphorus contents. Tetradifon seems not to exert major effects on bone remodelling. However, the osteoblastic hyperactivity could be explained by the oestrogen-like activity of tetradifon and its fatty metabolism. In fact, oestrogen inhibits bone remodelling, and enhances bone formation, which could result in an increase of the osteoid surface and explain the relative delay of ossification. 相似文献

Human factor XI (hFXI) is a 160‐kDa disulphide‐linked homodimer zymogen involved in the coagulation cascade. Its deficiency results in bleeding diathesis referred to as hemophilia C. hFXI bears five N‐glycosylation consensus sites per monomer, N72, N108, N335 on the heavy chain and N432, N473 on the light chain. This study reports the first in‐depth glycosylation analysis of hFXI based on advanced MS approaches. Hydrophilic interaction LC and MS characterization and quantification of the N‐glycans showed that the two major forms are complex biantennary mono‐α2,6‐sialylated (A2S1, 20%) and bis‐α2,6‐sialylated structures (A2S2, 66%). Minor triantennary structures (A3S3F, ~1.5%; A3S3, ~2%) were also identified. MS analyses of intact hFXI revealed full occupation of two of the three heavy‐chain glycosites and almost full‐site occupancy of the light chain. Analysis of hFXI glycopeptides by LC‐MS/MS enabled site‐specific glycan profiling and occupancy. It was evidenced that N335 was not glycosylated and that N72 and N108 were fully occupied, whereas N432 and N473 were occupied at about 92 and 95%, respectively. We also identified a new glycosite of the noncanonical format NXC at N145, occupied at around 5%. These data provide valuable structural information useful to understand the potential roles of N‐glycosylation on hFXI function and could serve as a structural reference. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize new Bacillus thuringiensis strains that have a potent insecticidal activity against Ephestia kuehniella larvae. Strains harboring cry1A genes were tested for their toxicity, and the Lip strain showed a higher insecticidal activity compared to that of the reference strain HD1 (LC50 of Lip and HD1 were 33.27 and 128.61 μg toxin/g semolina, respectively). B. thuringiensis Lip harbors and expresses cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, cry1Ad and cry2A. DNA sequencing revealed several polymorphisms in Lip Cry1Aa and Cry1Ac compared to the corresponding proteins of HD1. The activation process using Ephestia kuehniella midgut juice showed that Lip Cry1A proteins were more stable in the presence of larval proteases. Moreover, LipCry1A proteins exhibited higher insecticidal activity against these larvae. These results indicate that Lip is an interesting strain that could be used as an alternative to the worldwide used strain HD1. 相似文献
