In recent years, an increase in the incidence of cases of OSCC has been observed in adult patients up to 45 years old in several genetic underrepresented and underserved countries. The increase in OSCC cases in young people is very relevant because it shows that OSCC does not make exceptions and hereditarily must play an important role. This fact has not been associated with an evident biological basis, and a large majority of these patients do not present the classic principal risk factors association. OSCC is the result of accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations and this information is still fragmented in the literature, mainly in the young group. Conducting studies with a comprehensive analysis of genetic and epigenetic data is crucial, to provide greater understanding of the underlying biology of OSCC, because this information can be decisive to determine targets for therapeutic treatment. We review the main germline and somatic aspects of genetic and genomic variation in OSCC considering the absence of genomic data from developing countries such as Chile and the rest of Hispano-America.","PeriodicalId":12557,"journal":{"name":"Genetics and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11309523/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141906390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We determined the frequency of the CCR5Δ32 variant in a sample of 1,398 bone marrow donors from Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. This study also evaluated whether HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 genotypes are homogeneously distributed between CCR5Δ32 carriers and non-carriers in a population characterized by a significant genetic admixture. The CCR5Δ32 allele frequency was 7.4% (CI0.95 6.4-8.4%), and the frequency of the Δ32/Δ32 homozygous genotype was 0.72% (CI0.95 0.34-1.31%). In general, HLA genotypes are homogeneously distributed between CCR5Δ32 carriers and non-carriers. Considering the large number of bone marrow donors in Brazil and the high CCR5Δ32 allele frequency observed in our study, our results clearly indicate the existence of a considerable amount of potential CCR5Δ32 homozygous bone marrow donors in southern Brazil, suggesting that an active search for these donors is not only feasible but an attractive and promising strategy towards effective HIV infection control and treatment.","PeriodicalId":12557,"journal":{"name":"Genetics and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11285832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141792371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To survive and proliferate inside phagocytes, cryptococcal cells must acquire several nutrients. Zinc is fundamental for all life forms and develops a crucial role in the virulence of fungal pathogens, phagocytes reduce the availability of this metal to reduce the development of infection. The Acanthamoeba castellanii ACA1_271600 gene codes a metal transporter that is possibly associated with such antifungal strategy. Here, we evaluated the impact of A. castellanii metal homeostasis on C. gattii survival. Gene silencing of ACA1_271600 was performed and the interaction outcome of amoeba cells with both WT and zinc homeostasis-impaired mutant cryptococcal cells was evaluated. Decreased levels of ACA1_271600 in silenced amoeba cells led to higher proliferation of such cryptococcal strains. This effect was more pronounced in the zip1 mutant of C. gattii, suggesting that ACA1_271600 gene product modulates metal availability in Cryptococcus-infected amoebae. In addition, a systems biology analysis allowed us to infer that ACA1_271600 may also be involved in other biological processes that could compromise amoebae activity over cryptococcal cells. These results support the hypothesis that A. castellanii can apply nutritional immunity to hamper cryptococcal survival.","PeriodicalId":12557,"journal":{"name":"Genetics and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11290705/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141878633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we evaluated the influence of genes and miRNA expression on RA patients' cytokine levels. No difference was observed in genes or miRNAs expression when compared to healthy controls and RA patients or clinical parameters.

These clocks, found throughout the tree of life, regulate diverse biological functions, and allow periodical changes in physiology and behaviour. The molecular underpinnings of these clocks have been extensively studied across taxa, revealing a brain-based system that coordinates rhythmic activities through neuronal networks and signalling pathways. Entrainment, the alignment of internal rhythms with external cues or zeitgebers, is crucial for the adaptive value of these internal clocks. While the solar light-dark cycle is a primary zeitgeber for most animals, other relevant cues such as temperature, meal timing, predators, anxiety, fear, physical activity, and social interactions also play roles in entraining circadian clocks. The search of a detailed description of the circadian clocks is a goal for neurobiology and an area of growing societal interests. Moreover, as disruptions in circadian rhythms are implicated in various diseases, understanding the entrainment pathways contributes to developing interventions for improved wellbeing and health outcomes. This review focuses on socially relevant cues, examining their impact on animal physiology and behaviour, and explores the sensory pathways transmitting information to the central clock.","PeriodicalId":12557,"journal":{"name":"Genetics and Molecular Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11262420/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141733930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sequencing technologies have allowed describing the diversity and abundance of microbial communities among individuals.

The imbalance of diversity and abundance inside the microbial community, known as dysbiosis plays a crucial role in this context. One the most prevalent bacterial genera described in breast invasive carcinoma are Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Brevibacillus, Mycobacterium, Thermoviga, Acinetobacter, Corynebacterium, Paenibacillus, Ensifer, and Bacteroides. Paenibacills genus shows a relation with patient survival. When the Paenibacills genus increases its abundance in patients with breast cancer, the survival probability decreases. Within this dysbiotic environment, various bacterial metabolites could play a pivotal role in the progression and modulation of breast cancer. Key bacterial metabolites, such as cadaverine, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), have been found to exhibit potential interactions within breast tissue microenvironments. Understanding the intricate relationships between dysbiosis and these metabolites in breast cancer may open new avenues for diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
