To investigate polymorphism of Gli-B1 locus in modern Ukrainian bread wheat cultivars, to analyze the distribution of alleles and to compare the received data with the “core-collection of wheat cultivars” presented by Dr. E. Metakovsky. Methods. Eighty one bread wheat cultivars and lines from different plant breeding institutions and stations of Ukraine were tested using allele-specific primers to Gli-B1 locus developed by Zhang et al. [2003]. PCR products were fractionated in polyacrylamide gel (PAG) and then were stained by silver nitrate. Allelic variants of gliadins were analyzed by electrophoresis in acid polyacrylamide gel (APAGE). Results. Nine allelic variants of gliadins were revealed by APAGE and six alleles of Gli-B1 locus were detected by PCR-analysis. In 52 % of modern Ukrainian bread wheat cultivars we revealed Gli-B1b allelic variant, according to PCR - Gli-B1.1 allele with a 369 bp amplification fragment. In the genotypes of Ukrainian wheat cultivars, the 1RS.1BL translocation, which carries resistance genes, is frequent, as was detected by the absence of any amplification fragments with Gli-B1 primers. The correspondence between allelic variants of gliadins and alleles of Gli-B1 locus is discussed. Conclusions. DNA polymorphism of Gli-B1 locus examined in our research coincides with the diversity of allelic variants of gliadins, which were detected by APAGE method for Ukrainian bread wheat cultivar. However, PCR-analysis with applied primers carried out in this study does not distinguish the alleles that correspond to the Gli-B1c, Gli-B1g and Gli-B1e allelic variants of gliadins. The most common allele (52 %) for the in-vestigated Ukrainian wheat varieties is Gli-B1.1 allele, which was characterized by the amplification fragment of 369 bp, and the presence of 1RS.1BL translocation, which corresponds to Gli-B1b and Gli-B1l allelic variants of gliadins obtained by APAGE, respectively.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41645511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the influence of melatonin and recombinant human fibroblast growth factor (rhFGF-2) on human umbilical cord multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hMMSCs) effects at experimental demyelination. Methods. Adult mice were fed with neurotoxin cuprizone for 3 weeks. hMMSCs (5 × 10 5 cells) were injected on the 10th day of cuprizone diet. Injections of melatonin or rhFGF-2 were started on the 11th day of cuprizone diet. We used cell culture, flow cytometric, spectrophotometric and histological methods, “open field” and “rotarod” tests. Results. Under the cuprizone influence the motor-, emotional activities and muscle tone decreased. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content in brain increased while the activity of antioxidant enzymes decreased. After injection of hMMSCs the number of crossed squares and grooming activity increased while MDA content decreased. Melatonin and rhFGF-2 injections enhanced the effect of cells on grooming activity and increased the glutathione reductase activity. Melatonin also increased the number of boluses, muscle tone and glutathione peroxidase activity. Conclusion. Melatonin and rhFGF-2 improve the effect of hMMSCs in cuprizone-treated mice. The effects of hMMSCs and melatonin combination is greater than that with rhFGF-2.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43732207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their biocompatibility was analyzed in the adsorption test by incubation in human serum. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate the surface morphology of the films. Results. The regenerated keratin is represented mainly by proteins of intermedi ate filaments and is characterized by better thermal properties than the native one. The keratin-based films had a pronounced relief structure. The adsorption test shows the ability of the films to adsorb albumin from human serum on their surface. Conclusions. The mild extraction of keratins by sulfitolysis ensures the preservation of their native properties and the ability of keratin-based films to form bonds with blood proteins.","PeriodicalId":39444,"journal":{"name":"Biopolymers and Cell","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43644966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
