Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for various cancers, including CRC. However, the specific mechanisms by which inflammation contributes to cancer development are not fully understood. Our study assessed PARP1 and NF-κB mRNA expression in different stages of CRC, aiming to elucidate their roles in inflammation-driven CRC pathogenesis and define their stage-specific expression patterns. The study involved 35 CRC tissue samples and a control group of 25 samples from the healthy margins of colon cancer. PARP1 and NF-κB mRNA levels were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in tumor tissue samples, as well as the adjacent part of normal tissue. Our results revealed that PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 gene expression was significantly higher in CRC vs. control. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 mRNA expression levels. PARP1 was found to be responsible for 14.5% of the change in NF-κB/p50. Both PARP1 and NF-κB/p50 had high accuracy in the diagnosis of CRC with AUC = 0.905 and 0.956, respectively. This study revealed the overexpression of PARP1 and NF-κB genes in CRC cases, which suggests that the use of PARP1 inhibitors and anti-inflammatory drugs could be effective in CRC treatment. PARP1/NF-κB showed preliminary associations with CRC that merit diagnostic evaluation in larger studies.

This study validated reproducible DNA markers for early selection in Indian cannabis germplasm. For sex determination, i.e., three Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) markers-SCAR119, SCAR323, and the Male-Associated DNA Clone 2 (MADC2), were evaluated. The MADC2 marker reliably amplified a 390 bp fragment in male plants, whereas most female plants exhibited 560 bp and 870 bp bands. This strong correlation between MADC2 genotypes and phenotypic sex underscores its utility for early sex identification, which is critical for maximizing cannabinoid yield by preventing unwanted pollination. In parallel, chemotype-specific markers were assessed to predict cannabinoid profiles. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), plants were classified into three chemotypes based on THCA: CBDA ratios: THC-dominant, intermediate, and CBD-dominant. The dominant marker D589 was associated with THC biosynthesis, while the co-dominant marker B1080/B1192 provided refined differentiation between chemotypes by detecting allelic variations in cannabinoid synthase genes. Cloning and sequence analysis of these markers revealed significant similarity to known genomic regions involved in cannabinoid production. In summary, the validated SCAR markers enable early and accurate identification of sex and cannabinoid chemotype in Cannabis sativa. These tools offer substantial benefits for marker-assisted breeding, regulatory compliance (e.g., maintaining THC levels below 0.3% for hemp), and optimizing cultivation practices for both industrial and pharmaceutical applications in India.</p>","PeriodicalId":482,"journal":{"name":"Biochemical Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144323995","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 metadata and phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of species complex within C. gachua and C. marulius, suggesting the potential existence of intra and inter-clades within one species group. Further, we selected four ecologically and economically important taxonomic groups to study their haplotype diversity and genetic differentiation. These species/taxonomic groups include C. striata, C. punctata, gachua species complex, and marulius species complex. The analysis indicated a substantial level of genetic differentiation and haplotype diversity in species groups indicating high gene flow within populations.
