Interaction between LINC-ROR and Stemness State in Gastric Cancer Cells with Helicobacter pylori Infection     

Reihaneh Alsadat Mahmoudian  Maryam Lotfi Gharaie  Roya Abbaszadegan  Mohammad Mahdi Forghanifard  Mohammad Reza Abbaszadegan 《Iranian Biomedical Journal》2021,25(3):157

Background:LINC-ROR, as a cancer-related lncRNA, has vital roles in stem cell survival, pluripotency, differentiation, and self-renewal in hESCs. However, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, its functional roles, and clinical value of LINC-ROR in GC remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate probable interplay between LINC-ROR with SALL4 stemness regulator and their role with the development of the disease. Methods:The mRNA expression profile of LINC-ROR and SALL4 was assessed in tumoral and adjacent non-cancerous tissues of GC patients, using quantitative real-time PCR. Results:Significant LINC-ROR underexpression and SALL4 overexpression were observed in 55.81% and 75.58% (p < 0.0001) of samples, respectively. The expression of LINC-ROR and SALL4 were significantly correlated with each other (p = 0.044). There was an association between the underexpression of LINC-ROR and sex, stage of tumor progression, tumor type, and location of tumor (p < 0.05), and H. pylori infection with SALL4 expression (p = 0.036). There were also significant correlations between concomitant mRNA expression of SALL4 and LINC-ROR in tumors located at distal noncardiac, positive for H. pylori infection, tumors with invasion into the muscle layer of the stomach, and grade II tumor (p < 0.05). Conclusion:The clinical results of the SALL4-LINC-ROR association propose a probable functional interaction between these markers in tumor maintenance and aggressiveness. Our study can help to understand one of the mechanisms involved in the progression of GC through the function of these regulators. Key Words: LINC-ROR, Non-coding RNA, SALL4  相似文献   

Physiological traits related to drought tolerance in tall fescue     

Maryam Ebrahimiyan  Mohammad Mahdi Majidi  Aghafakhr Mirlohi  Abbas Noroozi 《Euphytica》2013,190(3):401-414

The physiological basis of genetic variation in drought response and its association with yield and related indices is not clear in tall fescue. In this study thirty genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) were sampled from a polycross population and evaluated under two levels of irrigation in 2010 (normal and intense stress) and 2011 (normal and mild stress). Physiological traits including relative water content (RWC), total chlorophyll (TChl), chlorophyll a (Chla), chlorophyll b (Chlb), Chla/Chlb, carotenoids (Car), TChl/Car and proline content along with forage yield, agro-morpholgical traits and selection indices (stress tolerance index, STI and drought susceptibility index, DSI) were studied. Large variation and moderate to high heritability was estimated for most of the studied traits. Intense drought condition decreased chlorophyll content while mild stress significantly increased it. In the other hand intense drought stress increased Chla/b while mild stress didn’t change it. Under mild drought stress condition STI was positively correlated with RWC while under intense drought stress condition STI was positively correlated with chlorophyll content. Although proline content was significantly increased in both intense and mild drought stress conditions, no relationship was found between proline accumulation with forage yield and STI. Applications of principle component analysis for screening suitable genotypes are also discussed.  相似文献   

CD226 rs763361 (Gly307Ser) Polymorphism Is Associated with Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis in Zahedan,Southeast Iran     

Mohammad Hashemi  Zahra Zakeri  Ebrahim Eskandari-Nasab  Mahdi Atabaki  Seyed Mohammad Ebrahim Pourhosseini  Mehdi Jahantigh  Gholamreza Bahari  Mohsen Taheri 《Iranian Biomedical Journal》2013,17(4):194-199

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with many genetic factors predisposing to disease susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of CD226 rs727088 and rs763361 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RA in a sample of the Iranian population. Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 100 patients with RA and 104 healthy subjects. The polymorphisms were determined using tetra amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction assay. Results: The rs763361 (Gly307Ser) polymorphism increased the risk of RA in codominant, dominant and recessive-tested inheritance models (odds ratio [OR] = 3.18, 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] = 1.44-7.02, P = 0.004, CC vs. TT, and OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.10-3.57, P = 0.023, CC vs. CT-TT, and OR = 2.61, 95% CI = 1.26-5.37, P = 0.010, CC + CT vs. TT, respectively). In addition, the rs763361 T allele increased the risk of RA (OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.38-3.08, P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed among the groups regarding CD226 rs727088 polymorphism (χ2 = 3.20, P = 0.202). Conclusions: Our finding showed that CD226 rs763361, but not rs727088, gene polymorphism increased the risk of RA in a sample of the Iranian population.Key Words: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), CD226, Polymorphism  相似文献   

Combining abilities of sugar beet genotypes for root- and sugar-related traits under multi-environment trials     

Mahdi Hassani  Bahram Heidari  Piergiorgio Stevanato 《Plant Breeding》2020,139(1):192-206

The improvement of sugar-related factors is associated with root traits in sugar beet. The objectives of the present study were to assess variations of sugar- and root yield (RY)-related traits and to estimate general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities of several lines, testers and hybrids under various environmental conditions. A line × tester mating design was used to develop 28 hybrids from seven lines × four testers. Presently, root- and sugar-related traits were recorded in parental lines, hybrids and five local ('Pars', 'Torbat' and 'Ekbatan') and international ('Kermit' and 'Tous') check varieties in the eight combinations of location and growing season. Mean RY and sugar yield (SY) were 44.81 t/ha and 7.57 t/ha, respectively. Genotypes tested had 16.91% sugar content (SC) and 13.64% white sugar content (WSC) across trials. No one genotype was found to have high levels for all traits, but several had above mean sugar-related or RY traits. L7T2 as the best hybrid for RY and SY yielded 37.0% and 34.4% more than the checks’ mean, whereas ratios for the best hybrid (L7T4) for SC and WSC were 8.2% and 4.3%, respectively. Additive variance was significant for all traits, whereas dominance component was only significant for RY. Several parental lines had stable GCA effects with respect to direction and magnitude for WSC, RY and SC in environments. L7 and T2 for RY and SY and L3 and T4 for SC and WSC were identified as the best combiners with high GCA effects, and their use might increase favourable alleles in further breeding programmes for traits tested. Estimated heritability for the combined environments was lower for sugar-related traits (54.01%–59.39%) compared with those for RY traits (73.68%–74.21%). Overall, given heritability and additive variances estimated the identification of environmentally stable GCA and SCA effects and might help to increase efficiency of selection of superior cultivars with respect to sugar traits.  相似文献

Management of fusarium basal rot (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae) on shallot through fungicidal bulb treatment     

Assefa Sintayehu  P.K. SakhujaChemeda Fininsa  Seid Ahmed 《Crop Protection》2011,30(5):560-565

Fusarium basal rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae is an economic disease of shallot. Field experiments were conducted at Debre Zeit during 2006 and 2007 cropping seasons to determine effective fungicides and their method of application for the management of fusarium basal rot of shallot. The field was naturally infested with F. oxysporum f. sp. cepae and treatments were arranged in randomized complete block design in four replications. Five fungicides, Mirage 50 WP, Folicur 25 EC, Seed plus 30 WS, Penncozeb 80 WP and Ridomil Gold 68 WG were evaluated as seed bulb dressing and bulb dip treatments against basal rot in the field and storage. Bulb dressing with Mirage, and dip treatment in Seed plus reduced the disease incidence by 40% and 43%, respectively over control. These fungicides also resulted in a significant reduction in severity, basal rot affected cull bulbs on shallot. Bulb rot during three months of storage on concrete ground floor and on wire mesh shelves was also reduced by seed bulb treatment over control. The highest increase in yield was obtained from bulb dressing with Mirage (42%) and Seed plus (45%) and from bulb dip treatment in Seed plus (44%) over control. Fusarium basal rot caused 45% loss in yield and 12-30% of bulb loss in the storage. The study showed that basal rot of shallot can be managed effectively by seed bulb dressing or dip treatment in Mirage or Seed plus.  相似文献   

Impregnation of ethylcellulose microcapsules containing jojoba oil onto compressive knits developed for high burns     

Fadhel Jaâfar  Mohamed Ali Lassoued  Mahdi Sahnoun  Souad Sfar  Morched Cheikhrouhou 《Fibers and Polymers》2012,13(3):346-351

The medical uses of textile fibers and fabric forms keep on growing. Today, the knits can be used in the medical field. The aim of this present work was to prepare compressive knits, impregnated by ethylcellulose (EC) microcapsules, for the burnt skin. Ethylcellulose microcapsules containing jojoba oil were prepared via the phase separation method. Jojoba oil was chosen because it plays an essential role in skin hydration and avoids the sebum accumulation. Ethylcellulose microcapsules obtained were grafted on two different compressive knit surfaces by impregnation, using the Acrylic Resin (AR) as binder. The prepared microcapsules were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The stability of the microcapsules, the efficiency of the microencapsulation method and the jojoba oil content determination were also investigated. This method of application improved the fabric surface and permitted in maximum the preserving of initial characteristics of knit, such as touch, flexibility and lightness.  相似文献
