NAT2 is a drug-metabolizing enzyme that catalyses the detoxification of many xenobiotics and carcinogens.

Certain NAT2 SNPs were associated with BC and/or modified the association of BC with smoking. However, limited evidence is available among BC patients or smokers from Jordan. This study aimed to discover novel SNPs in NAT2 and to assess the association with BC. This was a case-control study among 120 BC patients and 120 controls. Amplification of a 446 bp fragment of NAT2 encoding the N-catalytic domain was conducted using a polymerase chain reaction. Gene sequencing was done using Sanger-based technology. A total of 40 SNPs were detected. Two variants were significantly associated with BC (p<0.05); namely a novel c.87G>A and the reported c.341T>C. Regarding c.87G>A, genotype distribution was significantly associated with BC and subgroup analysis confirmed that this was significant in both smokers (p=0.007) and non-smokers (p=0.001). Regression subgroup analysis suggested GA as a risk factor among smokers (AOR= 2.356). The frequencies of TC and CC genotypes of c.341T>C were significantly higher in BC (p<0.05).

Multivariate analysis showed that subjects with TC genotype are 6.15 more likely to develop BC and regression subgroup analysis revealed TC as a risk factor among smokers (AOR=5.47).

To work on an HIV-specific vaccine, this study identified 5 HIV-surface proteins, from the literature, to screen potential epitopes and construct an mRNA vaccine. A wide range of immunological-informatics techniques were utilized to develop a construct that efficiently stimulated cellular and humoral immune responses. The vaccine was produced with 31 epitopes, a TLR4 agonist termed RpfE that acts as an adjuvant, secretion boosters, subcellular trafficking structures, and linkers.

Upregulating circ_0023826 attenuated the visual impairment in rats and promoted the survival of RGCs in vitro. Circ_0023826 acted as a sponge of miR-188-3p sponge, resulting in increased expression of MDM4. MDM4 silencing or miR-188-3p upregulation reversed the protective effect of upregulated circ_0023826 on glaucoma-induced neuroretinal degeneration in vitro and in vivo.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Overall, circ_0023826 protects against glaucoma by regulating the miR-188-3p/MDM4 axis, and targeted intervention of circ_0023826 expression is a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of retinal neurodegeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":6984,"journal":{"name":"Acta biochimica Polonica","volume":"70 2","pages":"253-260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9658906","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}
