To explore the possible physiological role of RD3 in regulating the genesis of neuroblastoma, we examined its distribution in human fetal normal tissues. Methods: Constitutive mRNA levels (QPCR, RNAScope), protein expression (immunohistochemistry), and sub-cellular localization of RD3 were investigated in the array (20 sites) of human (n=5) fetal normal tissues. In silico RNA sequencing data from seven independent studies (total n = 407) of human fetal tissues (101 sites) was utilized to validate the differential expression of RD3 in developing tissues. Results: RNAscope and QPCR analysis indicated a steady state of RD3 transcription across the fetal tissues with measurable inter-tissue differences (For e.g. high in GI tissues vs low in adrenal gland). RNA-seq data on varying stages of development clearly indicated stage-dependent dynamic fluctuations in RD3 transcription as the development progress. Notably, RD3 transcription is stably expressed in choroid plexus and are relatively absent in spinal cord through the developmental stages. IHC analysis recognized the presence of RD3 protein in array of fetal normal tissues, the tissue- and cell-specific distinctions in protein expression, and the variances in sub-cellular localization with each tissue. Conclusion: For the first time, the results presented here revealed the tissue-specific transcription, expression and localization of RD3 in fetal tissues. Recognizing the heterogeneous expression of RD3 between and within the fetal tissues signify its possible function beyond photoreceptor cell survival and could shed light on its functional relevance in neuroblastoma genesis and/or evolution.","PeriodicalId":91320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interdisciplinary histopathology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70819816","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}

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of Arabic gum (AG) in alleviating the histopathological changes, at the ultrastructural level, occur in sciatic nerve in an experimental model of diabetic neuropathy. Materials and Methods: Six groups (n= 10 each) of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study; the control, AG-treated, untreated diabetic, diabetic rats treated with metformin alone, diabetic rats treated with metformin and B12 vitamin and diabetic rats treated with metformin, B12 vitamin and AG. Behavioural changes of rats were assessed through open field and hot plat test. Biochemical parameters included blood glucose, insulin levels, lipid profile, oxidants/antioxidants parameters were assessed. Sciatic nerve was dissected, processed and examined histopathologically using the electron microscope. Results: The behavioral changes as well as the lipid profile were significantly improved after all used treatment. The antioxidants indicators included CAT, GSH, SOD, GPx were significantly improved in all treated groups compared to the untreated diabetic group. Sciatic nerve fibers of untreated diabetic rats showed degenerated nerve axons, myelin sheath and Schwann cells. The blood vessels were structurally affected. These ultrastructural changes were markedly improved in all the treated groups specifically that received metformin, vitamin B12 and AG. Conclusion: It could be concluded that Arabic gum combined with metformin and Vitamin B12 had hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant activity which all could be behind its ability to protect sciatic nerve against the diabetes-associated histopathological effects. Based on that a well-designed clinical trial is recommended to confirm its effect of diabetic patients.","PeriodicalId":91320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interdisciplinary histopathology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70819757","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}

Several components of the human seminal fluid (SF) have been previously implicated in initiating an inflammatory response in the healthy cervical epithelium after coitus. However, it was unclear whether the continuous application of SF to dysplastic or neoplastic cervical epithelium would aggravate a pre-existing neoplastic cervical lesion by further regulating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory biological pathways. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating gene arrays of inflammatory pathways that can be regulated by SF in neoplastic cervical epithelial cells, as a model to identify pro-inflammatory genes that could exacerbate neoplastic cervical inflammation and promote tumorigenesis in response to SF. Materials and Methods: HeLa-S3 cells were treated with SF (1:50 dilution) or Phosphatebuffered saline (PBS) (control) for 8 hours. Pooled cDNA from SF-treated HeLa-S3 cells were subjected to a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction on a TaqMan® 96-well plate human inflammation and cytokine/chemokine array platform, and fold expressions of inflammatory genes were determined. SF-regulated genes were subjected to gene enrichment analysis to evaluate functional pathways involved in cervical cancer progression. Results: SF was found to regulate the expression of arrays of inflammatory genes in neoplastic cervical epithelial cells. SF induced the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as PTGS1 (2.43↑), IL-6 (4.19↑), IL-8 (38.93↑), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) (26.55↑), IL-1α (68.56↑) and CXCL1 growth-regulated oncogene-alpha (GRO-α) (12.37↑), Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) (88.47↑), and transcription factor NF-κB (2.32↑), while downregulating the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL1R2 (5.0↓), hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase 15-(NAD) (3.12↓), and suppressor of cytokine signaling 5 5 (>100↓). SF-regulated genes clustered into components of eicosanoid signaling, chemokine signaling, cytokine signaling, and TLR2 in HeLa adenocarcinoma cells. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that SF can potentially augment cervical tumorigenesis by regulating the induction of arrays of inflammatory pathways in neoplastic cervical epithelial cells. Induction of these inflammatory pathways may play a crucial role in cancer cell angiogenesis, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and survival.","PeriodicalId":91320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interdisciplinary histopathology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70819825","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}

Staining has made possible the identification of various tissue structures under microscope aiding in appropriate diagnosis. However, the present era of increasing importance to ecology has necessitated the requisite for natural dyes. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural dyes are less toxic, biodegradable and are eco-friendly. Haematoxylin and Eosin are the routinely used stains in histopathology wherein eosin is a synthetic stain. Various attempts have been made to substitute eosin with a natural dye, one among which is Lawsonia inermis (Henna). Nevertheless, the staining efficacy of henna extract on FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin embedded) oral tissues, as a counterstain to haematoxylins is yet to be determined. Aim: The study aims to analyse the use of Lawsonia inermis extract as a possible substitute for eosin stain in paraffin embedded oral tissues. Methodology: The colouring component of dried leaves of Henna was extracted using Maceration and Soxhlet method. 4µ sections of 20 paraffin embedded oral tissues of normal oral mucosal tissues and OSCC tissues each, were stained using the extract and counterstained to haematoxylin and studied for its staining efficacy. Statistical Analysis: Chi square test was done and noted for any significant results. Results: On comparing the staining efficacy of henna while using different extraction methods, Soxhlet method was better than maceration method by 20%, however statistically the results were insignificant. Staining efficacy of Henna with and without the mordant were statistically significant wherein staining with mordant gave inferior quality stain. Henna stain, when compared to eosin, comparable results were found, with eosin being slightly better by 15%. Conclusion: In this era of increasing importance to ecology, henna may well prove to be an effective alternative to eosin in histological sections of normal and pathological tissues as both the stains gave comparable results.","PeriodicalId":91320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of interdisciplinary histopathology","volume":"6 1","pages":"54-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70819614","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}
