Abstract

The distinction between parasitic and non-parasitic plants can be determined by analyzing the atp-1 gene, which plays a vital role in respiration and is known for its high mutation rate. This study analyzed the kinship of parasitic plant subclass species through the construction of a phylogenetic tree based on atp-1 gene sequences. The atp-1 gene sequences of parasitic and non-parasitic plants with a total of 29 species were obtained from NCBI. The sequences were then aligned with ClustalW and analyzed for mutation patterns. Sequences that have been aligned, phylogenetic trees were made with MEGA11 software with the Maximum Likelihood method and analyzed using the iTOL website. The sequences were analyzed for similarity and kinship with Matrix Coefficient and Haplotype Construction. The atp-1 gene proved that parasitic plants (hemiparasites) are furthermore related to non-parasitic plants compared to holoparasite parasitic plants. Besides that, the kinship of parasitic plants can be analyzed by several methods, namely matrix coefficient to measure similarity, DnaSP to analyzing haplotype, and haplotype network to find out detailed information on mutations that occur. Matrix coefficients can also be used to measure specific similarities between species. It was found that the same subclass had high similarities, for example the species Santalum album and Heisteria parvifolia with a genetic distance value of 0.00574. Meanwhile, different subclasses have low similarity, such as Cassytha filiformis and Ombrophytum with a genetic distance value of 0.07871. This study shows that the atp-1 gene is effective in analyzing the kinship between parasitic and non-parasitic plants. Hemiparasites are genetically closer to non-parasitic plants than holoparasites, with higher genetic similarity within the same subclass.

Abstract

Background: Vascular calcification is a significant contributor to cardiovascular complications in diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly affecting the prognosis of patients.   Objectives: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying vascular calcification in DM, with a focus on insights from human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Methods: The search was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, utilizing databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The search focused on articles published within the last 5 years that discussed the molecular mechanisms of vascular calcification in DM, specifically in HASMCs. Results: Five selected reviews were found in a total of 637 articles. DM significantly accelerates vascular calcification in HASMCs through the upregulation of osteogenic markers and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Other identified mechanisms include inflammation, ferroptosis, and endothelial dysfunction, contributing to the complex interplay of factors that drive vascular calcification in diabetic patients. Conclusion: It is concluded that DM significantly accelerates vascular calcification in enhanced expression of osteogenic markers and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human aortic smooth muscle cells. Patients with diabetes are more likely to have cardiovascular issues as a result of this pathological process.
