A functional polymorphism on the GABPB1 gene (rs7181866, G/A) alters the cellular respiration metabolism by affecting the protein dynamics. In this context, here, we examined the distribution of GABPB1 rs718186 polymorphism in professional rugby players to see its relationship with their stamina. Twelve rugby players participated in the study. Genotyping was performed by Real-Time PCR after DNAs were isolated from blood cells using commercially available isolation kits. In our cohort, the AA genotype and the A allele were superior to the AG and GG genotypes and the G allele. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of Genotypes (p=0.9027) and allelic groups (p=0.6948) in the athlete and control groups. Studies have revealed the relationship between endurance characteristics of athletes and rs7181866 AA genotype and A allele. These studies will be an important data source for future studies in sports genetics and GAPPB1 analysis.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":"123 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139239444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we have made an attempt to determine the relative expression levels of three miRNAs and target genes in patients with newly diagnosed Multiple myeloma (MM) using quantitative real-time PCR. Moreover, the expression levels of selected miRNAs and genes and their correlations with clinical parameters were compared and analyzed. The ROC curve was used to analyze their diagnostic efficacy for MM. The expression level of hsa-miR-29b-3p was significantly higher in patients with newly diagnosed MM compared with the control group. ROC analysis showed that hsa-miR-29b-3p demonstrated a moderate diagnostic power in MM. The relative expression level of hsa-miR-29b-3p in patients with high LDH levels was markedly reduced compared to that in patients with normal and low LDH levels . DNMT3A expression level was significantly increased in patients with high LDH levels and patients with lambda light chain. Our results indicate that hsa-miR-29b-3p may be used as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of MM.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":"67 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inflammation and oxidative stress are known to play an important role in AKI. On the other hand, the earthworm extract, used in traditional medicine, is known to possess various biological and pharmacological activities viz. antiapoptotic, anticoagulative, fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress, peripheral nerve regeneration, bone regeneration and wound healing. Hence, in this study, we investigated the protective effect of the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister extract (LE) after nephrectomy, against oxidative stress occurring during renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. A total of 10-12 weeks old Sprague Dawley male rats were divided into five groups (n=8). Group I (control), Group II (I/R), Group III (I/R + 10 mg/kg LE), Group IV (I/R + 20 mg/kg LE) and Group V (I/R + 40 mg/kg LE). All rats except in Gr. I were applied ischemia for 45 min and reperfusion for 24 h. At the end of the experiment, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated. In addition, kidney tissues were evaluated histologically. In results, the MDA and GPx level of the I/R group were found to be significantly higher than the control and LE groups. SOD activity of the control group did not differ when compared to LE groups and CAT levels were not significantly different between all groups. In addition, in Gr. III-V we observed nearly normal renal cortex and renal tubules. The present study, thus demonstrates that the extract of L. rubellus prevents renal I/R injury and induced biochemical and histological changes in the renal tissues in rats.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":"195 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major side effect of DBG is gastrointestinal upset. In the present study, we have investigated whether N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) showed a protective effect on dabigatran-induced cytotoxicity in the in vitro setting. The medium not containing DBG but containing NAC were served to assay the effect of NAC on cell proliferation and apoptosis. Comparing DAB and all other groups, the cell viability was the lowest in the D group. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the NAC I and DBG-NAC I group, while the difference was statistically significant compared to all other groups. The cells in the DBG group showed a degenerative and round-shaped morphology with nuclear condensation. In other dilutions, the cell morphology was healthy with a fibroblastic morphology. Based on our study results, NAC at high concentrations exerts cytoprotective effects against DBG, while moderate or low concentrations have no favorable effect on cell viability of NAC. Although using concomitant NAC at appropriate doses appears to be effective agent against dabigatran cytotoxicity in the current study, further experimental and clinical studies are needed to confirm our findings.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":"206 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
