RESUMO

Genome shuffling by recursive protoplast fusion between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis also known as Scheffersomyces stipitis resulted in a promising yeast hybrid strain with superior qualities than those of the parental strains in enhancing biofuel production. Our study focused on the substrate utilization, ethanol fermentation, and ethanol tolerance of the hybrids and the parental strains. The parental strain S. cerevisiae is limited to utilize only hexose sugars, and this leads to decrease in the ethanol yield when they are subjected to ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass which is rich in pentose sugars. To overcome this limitation, we constructed a hybrid yeast strain through genome shuffling which can assimilate all the sugars present in the fermentation medium. After two rounds of recursive protoplast fusion, there was a higher increase in substrate utilization by hybrid SP2-18 compared to parental strain S. cerevisiae. SP2-18 was able to consume 34% of xylose sugar present in the fermentation medium, whereas S. cerevisiae was not able to utilize xylose. Further, the hybrid strain SP2-18 was able to reach an ethanol productivity of 1.03 g L−1 h−1, ethanol yield 0.447 g/g, and ethanol concentration 74.65 g L−1 which was relatively higher than that of the parental strain S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, the hybrid SP2-18 was found to be stable in the production of ethanol. The random amplified polymorphic DNA profile of the yeast hybrid SP2-18 shows the polymorphism between the parental strains indicating the migration of specific sugar metabolizing genes from P. stipitis, while the maximum similarity was with the parent S. cerevisiae

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Hyper-immunoglobulin M syndromes (HIGM) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders, which have been rarely reported to be associated with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). METHODS AND RESULTS: A nine-year-old girl with recurrent urinary tract infections, diarrhoea, sinopulmonary infections, and failure to thrive since the age of six months had normal CD3+, CD4+, CD8 + T lymphocytes, and CD19 + B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells, but extremely elevated IgM and significantly decreased IgG and IgA. In view of the patient's short stature, growth hormone evaluation was carried out and growth hormone deficiency established. The patient underwent Ig replacement therapy and received growth hormone therapy in addition to antibiotics and responded well. Furthermore, the patient developed benign cervical lymphadenopathy, as well as elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, positive autoantibodies to SSA-Ro, and severely dry eyes, which partially responded to both the punctate occlusion and systemic corticosteroids, at the age of seven years. Sequencing analysis of the exons from activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA) gene revealed that the patient was homozygous for a single T to C transversion at position 455 in exon 4, which replaces a Valine with an Alanine. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is a new AICDA mutation, which has not been reported previously in HIGM. The mutation analysis could improve diagnosis of HIGM patients and also elaborating on the spectrum of AICDA mutations

RESUMO

El tratamiento de la hepatitis C en la era de los nuevos agentes antivirales de acción directa ha cambiado radicalmente nuestros esquemas de tratamiento, consiguiendo tasas de respuesta virológica sostenida muy elevadas. Sin embargo, en un subgrupo de pacientes el tratamiento con agentes antivirales directos fracasa. Este colectivo de pacientes a los que podemos denominar como difíciles de curar constituyen el motivo de este artículo, que revisa las causas virológicas del fracaso virológico, sus implicaciones clínicas y algunas recomendaciones finales (AU)


Hepatitis C therapy in the era of the newer direct-acting antiviral agents has radically changed our treatment schemes by achieving very high rates of sustained virological response. However, treatment with direct antiviral agents fails in a subgroup of patients. This group of so-called difficult-to-treat individuals is the subject of this paper, which reviews the causes of virological failure, their clinical implications, and some final recommendations (AU)

RESUMO

El desarrollo de linfomas y autoinmunidad es una compleja interacción entre diversos factores patológicos. Más allá de anomalías genéticas,existen una variedad de factores ambientales y microbianos, así como procesos inmuno-reguladores y mecanismos de tolerancia que pueden inducir tanto autoinmunidad como varios tipos de síndromes linfoproliferativos.El objetivo de la presente revisión es resumir los posibles mecanismosdañinos en el desarrollo de los linfocitos, los mecanismos de control y lasrespuestas inmunes que favorezcan la adquisición de autoinmunidad, oque inducen la aparición y proliferación de linfocitos malignos (AU)


The development of lymphomas and autoimmunity is an intricateinterplay among various pathogenic factors. Besides genetic abnormalities, a variety of environmental and microbial factors, as well as abnormal immune-regulatory processes and tolerance mechanisms can lead toautoimmunity and the generation of different lymphoma subtypes.The aim of the present review is to summarize potentially harmfulsteps in the development of lymphocytes, tolerance checkpoints and immune responses that induce the acquisition of autoimmunity or the proliferation of neoplastic lymphocytes (AU)

RESUMO

In autosomal dominant skin disorders, a superimposed mosaic involvement arranged in a linear or otherwise segmental pattern is sometimes noted. Molecular proof of such "type 2 segmental manifestation" has so far been provided in Hailey-Hailey disease and Cowden syndrome. A similar superimposed segmental involvement can be found in numerous common disorders with a polygenic background, such a psoriasis, lichen planus, or vitiligo. In polygenic diseases, however, we can never recognize with certainty a "type 1 segmental manifestation", which is why we should use more neutral terms in the form of "isolated" versus "superimposed" segmental involvement. In the near future, the new paradigm of superimposed segmental manifestation may hopefully help elucidate the molecular basis of both monogenic and polygenic skin disorders (AU)


En los trastornos cutáneos autosómicos dominantes a veces se aprecia un mosaicismo sobreimpuesto con una disposición en patrón lineal o segmentario. La prueba molecular de ese tipo de «manifestación segmentaria tipo 2» la han proporcionado la enfermedad de Hailey-Hailey y el síndrome de Cowden. En numerosos trastornos frecuentes con una herencia poligénica como la psoriasis, el liquen plano o el vitíligo, se puede encontrar una afectación segmentaria sobreimpuesta similar. Sin embargo, en las enfermedades poligénicas nunca podemos reconocer con certeza una «manifestación segmentaria tipo 1», por 10 que utilizamos términos más neutrales, como afectación segmentaria «aislada» frente a «sobreimpuesta». En un futuro próximo el nuevo paradigma de manifestación segmentaria sobreimpuesta ayudará, en el mejor de los casos, a esclarecer la base molecular de los trastornos cutáneos monogénicos y poligénicos (AU)

RESUMO

Genetic diversity within populations of Fusarium pseudograminearum isolated from wheat grains from the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan was investigated. Three restriction enzymes (EcoRI, HaeIII, and PstI) were used to carry out restriction analysis of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) intergenic spacer region (IGS region) and eight primers were used to generate inter-simple sequence-repeat (ISSR) molecular markers. Our study indicated substantially high genetic diversity within these two populations, but low genetic differentiation and frequent gene flow among populations. The IGS data showed no genetic distinction between the two Alberta populations and only minor genetic differentiation between the Saskatchewan and Alberta populations. Analysis of molecular variance indicated that most genetic variability resulted from differences among isolates within populations. Multilocus linkage disequilibrium analysis suggested a panmictic population genetic structure and the occurrence of significant recombination in F. pseudograminearum. Regular gene flow and random mating between isolates from different populations could result in novel genotypes with both improved pathological and biological traits (AU)


Se investigó la diversidad genética en poblaciones de Fusarium pseudograminearum aisladas de semillas de trigo de las provincias canadienses de Alberta y Saskatchewan. Se usaron tres enzimas de restricción (EcoRI, HaeIII, and PstI) para analizar los marcadores moleculares de las regiones espaciadoras intergénicas (IGS) del DNA ribosómico del núcleo (nrDNA) y de los fragmentos generados entre repeticiones de secuencias sencillas (fragmentos ISSR). Nuestro estudió reveló una gran diversidad genética en ambas poblaciones, pero poca diferenciación genética y un flujo genético frecuente entre las poblaciones. Los datos relativos a las IGS no mostraron diferencias genéticas entre las dos poblaciones de Alberta estudiadas y sólo una ligera diferenciación entre las poblaciones de Alberta y de Saskatchewan. El análisis de la varianza molecular indicó que la variabilidad genética respondía en su mayor parte a diferencias entre aislamientos dentro de las poblaciones. El análisis del desequilibrio en el ligamiento genético sugería una estructura genética de la población de tipo panmíctico y la existencia de una recombinación significativa en F. pseudograminearum. Un flujo genético regular y el apareamiento al azar de aislamientos de poblaciones distintas podría producir nuevos genotipos con características biológicas mejores o patológicas (AU)

RESUMO

El cartílago articular es el tejido encargado de disminuirla fricción entre las superficies articulares durante el movimiento.Su limitada capacidad de regeneración hace quelas lesiones osteocondrales posean un mal pronóstico ypuedan acabar generando una artrosis en la articulación.La terapia génica para este tipo de patologías resulta muyprometedora, puesto que actualmente, no hay ningún procedimientocapaz de restablecer el tejido dañado. En nuestroestudio hemos puesto a punto un modelo de transferenciagénica a los tejidos de la articulación de la rodillade rata, inyectando intraarticularmente vectores derivadosde virus adeno-asociados, capaces de inducir la expresiónde luciferasa. Los resultados muestran cómo la inducciónde la expresión resulta significativa a partir de los dos mesesde evolución en todos los tejidos articulares (cartílagoarticular, menisco, membrana sinovial y hueso subcondral).La presencia de daño, tanto de tipo mecánico comoautoinmune (artritis inducida por colágeno) no modifica laexpresión de proteína por parte del vector


Articular cartilage is a tissue that decreases friction onarticular surfaces during movement. Its limited regenerativecapacity makes osteocondral lessions to extend andgenerate osteoarthritis in the joint. Gene therapy is apromising alternative to these patologies, since there areno proceedings actually, that restablishes damaged tissue.In our study, we have developed a model of gene transferto articular tissues injecting intraarticularly an adeno-associatedderived vector that induces expression of luciferase.Results obtained show a significant induction of proteinexpression two months after injecting vectors, in all articulartissues (articular cartilage, meniscus, synovium andsubcondral bone). The presence of lessions, mechanic orautoimmune (collagen induced arthritis) do not modify theexpression of protein induced by the vector

RESUMO

Over the last 15 years, interest in plant virus evolution has re-emerged, as shown by the increasing number of papers published on this subject. In recent times, research in plant virus evolution has been viewed from a molecular, rather than populational, standpoint, and there is a need for work aimed at understanding the processes involved in plant virus evolution. However, accumulated data from analyses of experimental and natural populations of plant viruses are beginning to delineate some trends that often run contrary to accepted opinion: (1) high mutation rates are not necessarily adaptive, as a large fraction of the mutations are deleterious or lethal; (2) in spite of high potential for genetic variation, populations of plant viruses are not highly variable, and genetic stability is the rule rather than the exception; (3) the degree of constriction of genetic variation in virus-encoded proteins is similar to that in their eukaryotic hosts and vectors; and (4) inspite of huge census sizes of plant virus populations, selection is not the sole factor that shapes their evolution, and genetic drift may be important. Here, we review recent advances in understanding plant virus evolution, and describe the experimental and analytical methods most suited to this purpose (AU)

RESUMO

Las células dendríticas se vienen usando como adyuvantes naturales para inducir respuestas inmunitarias con utilidad terapéutica. Para conseguir esto, los genes que codifican para antígenos relevantes son transfectados en células dendríticas mediante vectores virales y no virales. Los adenovirus recombinantes defectivos que codifican para antígenos o citoquinas se utilizan con gran eficiencia para transfectar ex vivo células dendríticas. Aquí hemos estudiado los efectos de infectar células dendríticas humanas y murinas con adenovirus que codifican para el gen reportero -galactosidasa (AdCMVLacZ). La infección con AdCMVLacZ induce la translocación nuclear de diferentes factores de transcripción de la familia de NF -B, a través la inducción de fosforilación de I -B según se demuestra mediante geles de retardo de movilidad e inmunoblots. La activación de NF- B se indujo también con capsides virales semipurificadas o adenovirus sin transgén, pero no mediante un adenovirus que codifica para un inhibidor dominante negativo de I -B (AdCMVI -B). A diferencia de AdCMVI B , AdCMVLacZ induce aumentos en la expresión de CD40, CD80 y CD86 con aumentos menos significativos de MHC clase II. También induce la expresión de IL-6 pero no de TNF ni IL-12. Estos cambios hacen que las células dendríticas sean más eficientes en inducir proliferación en MLR alogénicos. Nuestros resultados muestran que los adenovirus recombinantes inducen de forma independiente de transgén, cambios en el status madurativo de células dendríticas humanas y murinas que son relevantes para sus funciones.
