Aberrations and variations in the heterochromatic blocks of chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y were found under the influence of mitomycin C in cultured lymphocytes of peripheral human blood. Lymphocytes were cultured during 96 hours, mitomycin C in final concentration of 0.3 mkg/ml was present in the culture during the latest 24 hours of culturing. Different changes in the heterochromatic regions of chromosomes were found in approximately 30% of cells: in 6.3% of cells mitotic chiasmata were indicated. In 9.5% of cells isolocus breaks were observed in heterochromatic region of chromosome 1 in segment 1q11. In the latter case this may be a fragile site detected under the influence of mitomycin C on the lymphocytes.

The centromere effect (CE) is a meiotic phenomenon that ensures meiotic crossover suppression in pericentromeric regions. Despite being a critical safeguard against nondisjunction, the mechanisms behind the CE remain unknown. Previous studies have shown that various regions of the pericentromere, encompassing proximal euchromatin, beta and alpha heterochromatin, undergo varying levels of crossover suppression, raising the question of whether distinct mechanisms establish the CE in these different regions.

Methods: Twelve pregnant female rats were divided into a control group and a valproic acid (VPA) treated group (injected intraperitoneally on embryonic day 12 with 600 mg/kg body weight of VPA). Neurobehavioral tests were conducted on the offspring of both groups. The cerebellum was studied by light and electron microscopy as well as GFAP and caspase-3 immunohistochemical staining.

The ability to produce pulcherriminic acid is a characteristic feature of yeast species of the pulcherrima clade recently merged under the taxonomic name Metschnikowia pulcherrima. This iron chelator cyclodipeptide forms pulcherrimin, a maroon-red pigment with ferric ions. Its synthesis and secretion into the environment is under the control of closely linked genes referred to as the PUL cluster.

This study aimed to analyze Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) parameters and Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) changes in patients affected by Retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Eighteen eyes of 18 patients suffering from early-stage RP were enrolled in our observational study. 18 eyes of 18 patients age and gender matched were enrolled as controls.

Rhythmic oscillation of biological processes helps organisms adapt their physiological responses to the most appropriate time of the day. Chromatin remodeling has been described as one of the molecular mechanisms controlling these oscillations. The importance of these changes in transcriptional activation as well as in the maintenance of heterochromatic regions has been widely demonstrated.
