Abstract

In this search, a new bioluminescent technique was proved for pyrophosphate which was employed to single- nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) diagnosis using one-base extension reaction. Four Mycobacterium tuberculosis genes were chosen (Rpob, InhA, KatG, GyrA) genes. Fifty-four specimens were used in this study fifty-three proved as drug-resistant specimens by The Iraqi Institute of Chest and Respiratory Diseases in Baghdad., also one specimen was used as a negative control. The procedure of this assay was as follows. A specific primer within each aliquot owning a short 3-OH end of the base of the target gene was hybridized to the single-stranded DNA template. Then, (exo-) Klenow DNA polymerase and one of either ?-thio-dATP, dTTP, dGTP, or dCTP were supplemented and incubated for 1 min. Pyrophosphate freed by DNA polymerase is altered to ATP by pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK), and the amount of ATP is measured using the firefly luciferase reaction. This technique, which does not demand expensive equipment, can be applied to rapidly monitor one-point mutation in the gene that causes drug resistant in mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results showed a high variation in values of ATP formation through matching and mismatch bases added. So, this assay (which required only five minutes), enable to find the gene SNP causes resistant for the specific drug

Abstract

Background: Glucose transporting into cells, angiogenesis, and apoptosis are the main factors that inducing the progression of many types of cancers including breast cancer. BC progression was seen as a multi-step process involving progressive changes from normal to hyperplasia with and without atypia, carcinoma in situ, invasive carcinoma, and metastasis. Aim: Assessment the role of glucose transport-1 (GLUT-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cluster of differentiation factor(CD44) as a glucose transporting into cells, angiogenesis, and apoptotic factors in women with BC whom receiving chemotherapy. Method and Subjects: 120 women with BC included in this study as a patients group as well as 120 apparently healthy women as control. The women with BC is divided into sub-groups depending on chemotherapy treatment status. GLUT-1, VEGF, and CD44 were investigated by ELISA method. Results: This study suggested that highly significant differences in the mean and standard division of GLUT?1 and VEGF in all cases of women with BC compare to control group (P-Value< 0.05). The levels of GLUT?1 was highly significant difference between two subgroup have Her?2 positive and negative (p < 0.001), and the levels of VEGF, and CD44 in patients subgroups were significant (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The following up of the progression and responding to chemotherapy treatment may be more easy by estimation the glucose transporting, angiogenesis, and apoptotic markers in women with BC.

Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the snail’s pathological changes and their relationship with the amount of gene expression of heat shock proteins HSP90 & HSP70 under the influence of lannate pesticide. canaliculata were collected during the period between 5th-10th May 2018. The laboratory generation snails were divided into 2 groups, the first was exposed to a concentration of 10 mg/L of the pesticide, as the lethal concentration of the pesticide was 12.6mg/L, and the second was left as a control group. After that, three snails from each group were dissected by the end of the following intervals (10mins, 1hr, 8hrs, 24hrs, 3days, 7days, and 15day). The gene expression was studies using qPCR method. Results of the genetic analysis for the abundance of the HSP70-HSP90 showed a clear effect of the pesticide on the treated snails during the above interval. On the other hand, the results of the histological study of the gills showed that the pathological changes varied in their intensity during the intervals, while there was no clear effect to variation of concentrations. These changes involve loss of cilia in the epithelial cells, infiltration of granulocytes in the cilia loss regions, hyperplasia, degradation and necrosis of cells as well as the accumulation of non-living brown and grey materials within the epithelial cells. Moreover, it was noticed that the mucous materials secreted from cystic cells has increased.
