Background And Study Aims: The diagnosis and surveillance of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) rely on pathology and immunochemistry (IHC), making it complicated and invasive. Noninvasive and convenient biomarkers of this disease need to be explored. The high specificity and sensitivity of IHC in detecting GIST 1 (DOG1) in biopsy indicate that it is also expressed in circulating tumor cells of the blood and may be an ideal biomarker for GIST. This aimed to detect the expression of DOG1 in peripheral blood cells (PBCs) and determine the relationship between DOG1 expression and clinical factors.
Patients And Methods: A total of 45 patients with GIST and 46 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between December 2015 and June 2018. PBCs were isolated from peripheral venous blood by density gradient centrifugation. RNA was extracted from PBCs, and DOG1 mRNA was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. DOG1 mRNA expression between GIST and HC was compared, and the relationship between clinical factors and DOG1 was also analyzed.
Results: DOG1 mRNA expression in PBCs was significantly higher in patients with GIST than that in HCs (3.326 [1.942-5.328] versus 0.744 [0.269-1.087], p < 0.01). The specificity and sensitivity were 88.9% and 89.1%, respectively (AUC = 0.912). Tumor diameter and risk of aggressive behavior were correlated with DOG1 expression, and other clinical factors (sex, age, location, number of phase-splitting cells, Ki-67 index, metastatic status) did not show any relationship with DOG1 expression. However, clinical factors, including tumor diameter and risk grade, were not independent factors in DOG1 expression when multivariate analysis was conducted.
Conclusion: DOG1 expressions were significantly higher in patients with GIST than that in HCs. Tumor diameter and risk classification correlated with DOG1 expression but were not independent factors. DOG1 in PBCs is a promising noninvasive biomarker for GIST.

Production of morphologically and physiologically variable seeds is an important strategy that helps plants to survive in unpredictable natural conditions. However, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and most agronomically essential crops produce visually homogenous seeds. Using automated phenotype analysis, we observed that small seeds in Arabidopsis tend to have higher primary and secondary dormancy levels than large seeds.

Seed dormancy is an important adaptive trait to prevent germination occurring at an inappropriate time. The mechanisms governing seed dormancy and germination are complex. Here, we report that FACTOR INTERACTING WITH POLY(A) POLYMERASE 1 (FIP1), a component of the pre-mRNA 3' end processing machinery, is involved in seed dormancy and germination processes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Acinic cell carcinoma (AiCC) in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses has rarely been reported in literature. A recent study demonstrated that recurrent genomic rearrangement [t(4;9) (q13;q31)] is a driver event in AiCC of the salivary glands that could promote the upregulation of transcription factor nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3). In the current study, we evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics and expression of NR4A3 in four new cases of sinonasal AiCC.

Temperature variation during seed set is an important modulator of seed dormancy and impacts the performance of crop seeds through effects on establishment rate. It remains unclear how changing temperature during maturation leads to dormancy and growth vigour differences in nondormant seedlings. Here we take advantage of the large seed size in Brassica oleracea to analyse effects of temperature on individual seed tissues.
