Abstract

Cisplatn is one of the chemotherapy for the treatment of triple‐negatve breast cancer (TNBC), but its effectveness is limited because of the phenomenon of chemoresistance. miR‐638 was shown to regulate chemoresistance; however, it has never been validated in the cisplatn‐resistant tumor from patents. This present study aimed to identfy the key gene regulatory networks of miR‐638 and evaluate the potental role of the miR‐638 and its targets as potental prognosis biomarkers for cisplatn‐resistance triple‐negatve breast cancer patents. The miR‐638 target was obtained from the miRecords database while the mRNA of chemoresistance biomarker candidate was obtained from the GSE18864 of GEO database, which is mRNA of cisplatn‐resistance TNBC patents. CCND1 and FZD7 are potental candidates for cisplatn chemoresistance biomarkers in patents with TNBC. Moreover, a Kaplan‐Meier survival plot showed that breast cancer patents with low mRNA levels of FZD7 had signifcantly worse overall survival than those in higher mRNA expression group. Taken together, miR‐638 plays a role in cisplatn resistance mechanism through a mechanism involving its target gene CCND1 and FZD7. Overall, miR‐638, CCND1, and FZD7 are candidates for cisplatn biomarker resistance in TNBC.

Abstract

Banana is an important crop that demands proper methods in postharvest handling. As a climacteric fruit, thebanana fruit ripening process is affected by ethylene. Several methods have been developed to extend the shelf life of a banana, such as using ethylene scrubbers. In this study, ttanium dioxide (TiO2), a photocatalyst, was used as an alternatve method to delay the fruit ripening process. The effect of TiO2 on the ripening‐related gene MaACS1 was investgated. Banana fruits were placed in a TiO2‐coated glass chamber and observed for ten days. Fruit ripening in the treated chamber was delayed for eight days compared to the control. Total RNA was extracted from control and TiO2‐treated fruit pulp and synthesized into cDNA. Reverse transcripton PCR was performed to investgate the gene expression, which showed that MaACS1 expression was relatvely lower than treated control. The fnding of these studies suggested that the TiO2 chamber has the potental to extend the shelf life of banana by delaying its ripening process and decreasing the expression of MaACS1. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investgated the effect of TiO2 on the expression of genes related to banana fruit ripening.

Abstract

Repetitive DNA sequences are highly abundant in plant genomes and are favorable probes for chromosome identification in plants. However, it is difficult to conduct studies on the details of metaphase chromosome structures in plants with small chromosomes due to their highly condensed status. Therefore, identification of homologous chromosomes for karyotyping and analyzing chromosome structures is a challenging issue for cytogeneticists without specific probes and precise chromosome stages. In this study, five repetitive DNA probes, i.e., 5S and 45S ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs), melon centromeric sequence (Cmcent), cucumber subtelomeric sequence (Type I), and microsatellite (CT)10 repeats, were used to identify primary constrictions and homologous chromosomes for karyotyping. Four and two loci of 45S rDNA were respectively observed on metaphase and pachytene chromosomes of Abelia × grandiflora. Cmcent was detected on both primary constrictions of melon pachytene and metaphase chromosomes. Furthermore, one pair of 5S rDNA signals were hybridized on melon metaphase chromosomes. Eight and two loci of 45S and 5S rDNA were respectively detected on cucumber chromosomes. Type I and (CT)10 probes were specifically hybridized on subtelomeric and interstitial regions on the chromosomes, respectively. These results suggest that repetitive DNA sequences are versatile probes for chromosome identification in plants with small chromosomes, particularly for karyotyping analyses.

Abstract

Endoglucanase is used in industries that apply high temperatures, such as bioethanol, detergent, paper, and animal feed industries. Most available endoglucanases have very low stability at high temperatures. Therefore, this study aimed to identfy a new thermostable endoglucanase that is able to maintain its actvity at high temperatures. Five isolates of thermophilic bacteria were previously isolated from the hydrothermal vent of West Kawio, Indonesia. Among them, the DSI2 isolate showed the highest endoglucanase actvity, and was identfed and named as Bacillus safensis DSI2. The EgDSI2 gene was cloned from B. safensis DSI2. EgDSI2 is 1851 bp long encoding a protein of 616 amino acids. The encoded protein, EgDSI2, has high sequence identty to other B. safensis endoglucanases and was predicted with the Compute pI/Mw tool to be 69.41 kDa. EgDSI2 was high in hydrophobic amino acids. The enzyme had higher percentage of Ala andPro, and lower percentage of Gly compared to thermolabile endoglucanases from two Bacillus species. EgDSI2 harbored a catalytc domain belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 9 (GH9) and a type 3 cellulose‐binding domain (CBM3). Propertes of endoglucanases with GH9‐CBM3 modular organizaton include actvity over a wide pH range, high optmum temperature, and thermostablity. Therefore, EgDSI2 has potental applicatons in the industries.

Abstract

Studies have suggested that both carrot (Daucus carota L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) callus extracts contain antoxidant compounds that might have the potental to protect cells from free radicals such as H2O2 that contribute to cell damage. The other sources of free radical exposure in human cells, such as UV‐B, should also be examined. UV‐B exposure can trigger increased expression of inflammatory cytokines such as cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) and the antinflammatory cytokine interleukin‐10 (IL‐10), which causes photoaging. This study was conducted to investigate the cytoprotectve actvity of carrot and tomato callus aqueous extracts by observing cell viability using the MTT assay. Immunocytochemistry methods were used to examine the effects of carrot and tomato callus aqueous extracts on the expression of COX‐2, TNF‐α, and IL‐10 in human dermal fibroblast adult (HDFa) cells exposed to UV‐B light. Carrot and tomato callus aqueous extracts were obtained by the maceration method using aqua bidistilled solvent. Results showed that both carrot and tomato callus aqueous extracts at 0.5 mg/mL exhibited the highest cytoprotective effect in HDFa cells compared to that at other concentratons. Both carrot and tomato callus aqueous extracts could also decrease the expression of COX‐2 and TNF‐α, whereas carrot callus aqueous extract increased the expression of the anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL‐10 in HDFa cells.

Abstract

Black soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] produces isoflavones as secondary metabolites, which have many benefits for human health and plant defense system. Expression profiling can guide potential work in functional genomics of the isoflavone biosynthesis pathway. Previous studies showed the vital role of the CHS8, CHI1A, and IFS2 genes in isoflavone biosynthesis. However, expression profiling of these genes in the local black soybean varieties is still limited. This study investigated the gene expression levels of the CHS8, CHI1A, IFS2, and CHR genes in local varieties, namely, UP106 (high isoflavone) and UP122 (low isoflavone) and its progenies, i.e., UP106xUP122 and UP122xUP106. Relative gene expression profiling was conducted on the basis of Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT‐PCR) with ACT2/7 as a housekeeping gene. As a result, the expression level of CHS8 in UP122 is lower than that in UP106. No significant difference in the expression level of CHI1A was observed in all samples. The expression levels of CHS8 and CHI1A in both progenies were higher than that in the parental line, whereas the expression levels of IFS2 in both progenies were lower than that in the parental line. CHS8 and IFS2 expression from UP106xUP122 was higher than that from UP122xUP106, whereas CHI1A expression from UP122xUP106 was higher than that from UP106xUP122. CHR showed a high expression in the reciprocal cross; however, this expression did not exceed from UP106. In conclusion, the crossing between parental lines did not affect the gene expression level in the isoflavone biosynthesis pathway.

Abstract

Oil palm plantation in Indonesia is significantly affected by basal stem rot disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ganoderma boninense. Tolerant oil palm cultivars toward G. boninense have been developed through a breeding program accelerated by the implementation of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. This study was conducted to perform a gene knockout (KO) of oil palm that confers a putative defense‐related trait toward G. boninense. A plasmid pCRISPR_EMLP containing modules, i.e., 35S‐CaMV‐promoter‐driven CRISPR/Cas9, U6‐promoter‐driven sgRNA to the target EgEMLP gene (EL695076), and hygromycin resistance gene as the selectable marker, was established for Agrobacterium‐mediated delivery into oil palm calli (OPC). The transformed OPCs were regenerated and screened in DF (de Fossard) media containing hygromycin. The working concentration of hygromycin was successfully optimized for selection at 20 ppm. Through PCR‐based selection using HYG primers, we succeeded in discerning positive transformed OPC clones. The sequenced PCR products of genomic DNA as the template amplified using EMLP1 primers showed a point mutation, causing a frameshift in the edited EgEMLP and premature stop codon. Furthermore, in silico modeling demonstrated that the mutation resulted in a change in the C‐terminal region, affecting the tertiary protein structure. Moreover, electrophoresis analysis of PCR products of cDNA as the template from transformed OPC clones showed several samples with faint or undetected bands. This indicated that the CRISPR/Cas9 module induced a mutation that could destabilize the transcribed mRNA, e.g., premature degradation. Altogether, this study has successfully implemented CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in oil palm in a model gene that is responsible for putative defense‐related traits toward the pathogenic fungus G. boninense.
