The effect of interspecies hybridization on gene regulation was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to measure the expression of five base-excision repair genes in brain, eye, gill, liver, and tailfin tissues from Xiphophorus parental species and F(1) hybrids. Relative mRNA levels of uracil N-glycosylase (Ung), Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (Ape1), polymerase-beta (Polb), flap endonuclease (Fen1), and DNA ligase (Lig1) were measured in three parental Xiphophorus species (X. maculatus Jp 163 B, X. helleri Sarabia, and X. andersi andC) and in two interspecies F(1) hybrids, the Sp-helleri hybrid (X. maculatus Jp 163 BxX. helleri Sarabia) and the Sp-andersi hybrid (X. maculatus Jp 163 BxX. andersi) to identify genes that undergo changes in expression levels upon interspecies hybridization. Significant differences in gene expression were observed between parental animals and their respective F(1) hybrids in both interspecies crosses. Generally, marked increases in DNA repair gene mRNA levels were observed across all tissues in F(1) hybrid animals from the Sp-helleri cross compared to either X. maculatus or X. helleri parents. In contrast, the Sp-andersi F(1) hybrid animals generally exhibited decreased base-excision repair gene expression, although this trend was more specific to individual tissues than observed for Sp-helleri hybrids.

Background The accurate diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is occasionally challenging due to the similarity in pathological morphology between IDC-P and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN). In this report, we reviewed the pathology of cases previously diagnosed as HGPIN to search for IDC-P cases effectively. In addition, we examined whether those cases had genetic abnormalities.

The combination of hydrophilic arginine residues and hydrophobic tryptophan residues is considered to be the first choice for designing short-chain antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) due to their potent antibacterial activity. Based on this, we designed an arginine- and tryptophan-rich short peptide, VR-12. Peri-implantitis is a significant microbial inflammatory disorder characterized by the inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding an implant, which ultimately leads to the progressive resorption of the alveolar bone.

In the ventricular-subventricular-zone (V-SVZ) of the postnatal mammalian brain, immature neurons (neuroblasts) are generated from neural stem cells throughout their lifetime. These V-SVZ-derived neuroblasts normally migrate to the olfactory bulb through the rostral migratory stream, differentiate into interneurons, and are integrated into the preexisting olfactory circuit. When the brain is injured, some neuroblasts initiate migration toward the lesion and attempt to repair the damaged neuronal circuitry, but their low regeneration efficiency prevents functional recovery.

Genomic analysis has played a significant role in the identification of driver mutations that are linked to disease progression and response to drug treatment in ovarian cancer. A prominent example is the stratification of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) characterized by mutations in DNA damage repair genes such as for treatment with PARP inhibitors. However, recent studies have shown that some epithelial ovarian tumors respond to PARP inhibitors irrespective of their HRD or mutation status.

Background: Skin innervation is very important for normal wound healing, and receptor activity-modifying protein 1 (RAMP1) has been reported to modulate calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor function and thus be a potential treatment target. This study aimed to elucidate the intricate regulatory effect of RAMP1 on skin fibroblast function, thereby addressing the existing knowledge gap in this area.
Methods: Immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence (IF) staining were used to measure the dynamic changes in the expression of RAMP1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in skin wound tissue in mice.
