Background: The aim of the current study was to identify the antitumor activity of satraplatin in paired cisplatin (CDDP)-resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line and its parental cell line.
Methods: CDDP-resistant (KB-R) cells and parental cells (KB) pair were used. Viability was assessed using the MTT and clonogenic assay. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), glutathione (GSH) assay, and flow cytometric analysis were used for further assessment.
Results: KB-R cells did not show cross-resistance to satraplatin. The expression status of almost all transporters was upregulated in the KB-R cells. There was no difference in the GSH levels between the KB and KB-R cells. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that with satraplatin the G2/M phase was arrested in the KB-R cells. KB-R cells contain enriched side population cells.
Conclusion: These data suggested that satraplatin has antitumor activity against the CDDP-resistant OSCC cells. The mechanism of cross-resistance to platinum agents seems to be multifactorial.

Genome-wide association mapping for agronomic traits in an 8-way Upland cotton MAGIC population by SLAF-seq.

One sub-MAGIC population was genotyped using SLAF-seq, and QTLs and candidate genes for agronomic traits were identified in Upland cotton. The agronomic traits of Upland cotton have serious impacts on cotton production, as well as economic benefits. To discover the genetic basis of important agronomic traits in Upland cotton, a subset MAGIC (multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross) population containing 372 lines (SMLs) was selected from an 8-way MAGIC population with 960 lines.

Purpose: Oral cancer causes considerable mortality across the globe, mainly due development of chemoresistance and lack of efficient chemotherapeutic agents. In the current study the anticancer potential of Acetylshikonin was examined against KB-R cisplatin-resistant oral cancer cells along with evaluation of in vitro and in vivo modes of action.
Methods: The proliferation rate of the oral cancer cells was checked by MTT assay.

Purpose: The carbonic anhydrase inhibitor dorzolamide can increase optic nerve blood flow. The aim of the study reported here was to investigate the effect of dorzolamide on isolated rabbit ciliary arteries that supply the optic nerve.
Methods: Changes in ciliary artery isometric tension and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) were recorded to elucidate the underlying pharmacologic mechanisms by which dorzolamide regulates blood flow to the optic nerve.
The role of Ca(2+) influx in spontaneous Ca(2+) wave propagation in interstitial cells of Cajal from the rabbit urethra.

Tonic contractions of rabbit urethra are associated with spontaneous electrical slow waves that are thought to originate in pacemaker cells termed interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). ICC pacemaker activity results from their ability to generate propagating Ca(2+) waves, although the exact mechanisms of propagation are not understood. In this study, we have identified spontaneous localised Ca(2+) events for the first time in urethral ICC; these were due to Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and, while they often remained localised, they sometimes initiated propagating Ca(2+) waves.

Background: DNA methylation has essential roles in transcriptional regulation, imprinting, X chromosome inactivation and other cellular processes, and aberrant CpG methylation is directly involved in the pathogenesis of human imprinting disorders and many cancers. To address the need for a quantitative and highly multiplexed bisulfite sequencing method with long read lengths for targeted CpG methylation analysis, we developed single-molecule real-time bisulfite sequencing (SMRT-BS).
Results: Optimized bisulfite conversion and PCR conditions enabled the amplification of DNA fragments up to ~1.
