Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and unconjugated oestriol (uE3) concentrations were measured in maternal serum samples from 21 pregnancies with neural-tube defects, 4 pregnancies with ventral wall defects (VWD) and 1662 unaffected pregnancies in women. These congenital malformations were confirmed by ultrasound scanning. The mean multiplate of the median (MoM) for AFP and uE3 was significantly different from the control values in cases of open NTD (AFP median MoM = 5.95, p < 0.001, uE3 median MoM = 0.2, p < 0.001), while hCG values did not differ from those of matched controls (hCG median MoM = 0.9). The biological basis of altered levels of uE3 in pregnancies with fetal NTDs is unclear. 相似文献

Background
Cell free DNA (cfDNA) circulates throughout the bloodstream of both healthy people and patients with various diseases and acts upon the cells. Response to cfDNA depends on concentrations and levels of the damage within cfDNA. Oxidized extracellular DNA acts as a stress signal and elicits an adaptive response.Principal Findings
Here we show that oxidized extracellular DNA stimulates the survival of MCF-7 tumor cells. Importantly, in cells exposed to oxidized DNA, the suppression of cell death is accompanied by an increase in the markers of genome instability. Short-term exposure to oxidized DNA results in both single- and double strand DNA breaks. Longer treatments evoke a compensatory response that leads to a decrease in the levels of chromatin fragmentations across cell populations. Exposure to oxidized DNA leads to a decrease in the activity of NRF2 and an increase in the activity of NF-kB and STAT3. A model that describes the role of oxidized DNA released from apoptotic cells in tumor biology is proposed.Conclusions/Significance
Survival of cells with an unstable genome may substantially augment progression of malignancy. Further studies of the effects of extracellular DNA on malignant and normal cells are warranted. 相似文献3.

Fetal cells isolated from maternal peripheral blood during the second trimester of pregnancy were analyzed. Blood samples were centrifuged in a Ficoll-Paque gradient, the mononuclear cell fraction was isolated and stained with fluorescent monoclonal antibodies against glycophorine A (GPA + PE), transferrin (CD71 + FITC), and Hoechst 33342. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was conducted on a Vantage flow cytofluorimeter (Becton Dickinson). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with Y chromosome-specific DNA probe revealed fetal cells that exhibited Y signal in all 20 blood samples obtained from women pregnant with healthy male fetuses. The concentration of these fetal cells averaged about 1.34% and ranged from 0.1 to 4.2% in different blood samples. In six cases, blood samples were obtained from pregnant women, in which prenatal cytogenetic analysis revealed various fetal aneuploidies. Using FISH with DNA probes specific for chromosomes X, 18, and 13/21, Fetal cells with chromosomal aberrations were detected in these six maternal blood samples at a concentration from 1.5 to 5.6% (on average 3.7%). These results indicate the possibility of a new noninvasive approach, which is safe for both mother and fetus when used for isolation of fetal cells from pregnant women's blood samples and prenatal diagnosis of a broad spectrum of fetal cell chromosomal aberrations. 相似文献

In a group of 140 patients with typical phenotype, the 22q11.2 microdeletion was detected in 43 patients (32%) using FISH and MLPA methods. There were no deletions of other chromosomal loci causing to phenotypes similar to the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS). Sequencing of the TBX1 gene did not detect any mutations, except for some common neutral polymorphisms. For the first time in the Russian Federation, the diagnostic efficiency of 22q11.2DS appeared to be 32%, as a result of the application of a combination of genetic approaches for a large group of patients with suspected 22q11.2DS. 相似文献

Four cases of cytogenetic prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with chromosomal aberrations are presented: (1) the Patau syndrome; (2) and (4) the Down syndrome; (3) the Klinefelter syndrome. Cordocentesis has been shown to be expedient for rapid and accurate determination of fetus karyotype. Indicative for cytogenetic examination were ultrasonic data, maternal age, the values of AFP, HGG and nonconjugated estreol in maternal serum. Comparison of ultrasonic examination of fetuses with the data on abortus autotopsia was undertaken. The results demonstrate importance of ultrasonic, cytogenetic, biochemical and morphological research in prenatal malformation diagnosis. 相似文献

Melanoma is the most lethal cutaneous cancer with a highly aggressive and metastatic phenotype. While recent genetic and epigenetic studies have shed new insights into the mechanism of melanoma development, the involvement of regulatory non‐coding RNAs remain unclear. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of endogenous non‐protein‐coding RNAs with the capacity to regulate gene expression at multiple levels. Recent evidences have shown that lncRNAs can regulate many cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and invasion. In the melanoma, deregulation of a number of lncRNAs, such as HOTAIR, MALAT1, BANCR, ANRIL, SPRY‐IT1 and SAMMSON, have been reported. Our review summarizes the functional role of lncRNAs in melanoma and their potential clinical application for diagnosis, prognostication and treatment. 相似文献

The dehydrogenase activity of Escherichia coli BB cell extracts was studied at different growth stages in the presence of different substrates and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride as an electron acceptor. It was shown that the highest degree of reduction of triphenyl tetrazolium chloride was observed during exponential growth of the bacteria when potassium isocitrate was used as a substrate. It was found that extracts of the bacteria during the exponential phase of growth on an inert glassy carbon electrode in a three-electrode liquid electrochemical cell manifested electrochemical activity in the presence of potassium citrate and methylene blue or potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) as redox mediators. 相似文献

The shift of prooxidant-antioxidant balance in side of prooxidants was revealed in rat liver mitochondria and in microsomes and in blood plasma in response to single irradiation (dose 8 Gy). The shift was more expressed in animals with nutrition unbalanced on animal proteins and antioxidant vitamins. In the main it was explained by the initially reduced activity of enzymatic antioxidant system and especially Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity. The apply of food addition from Aronia melanocarpa fruits had delayed lipid peroxidation activation in irradiated animals but practically had no effect on activity of enzymatic antioxidant system. The established essential decrease of Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity under unbalanced diet is considered the most crucial point in the maintenance of enzymatic antioxidant system reliability in irradiated animals. 相似文献
