The role of chemokine genes in the formation of terminal stage of chronic renal failure

The data on the role of chemokine genes (+1931A/T CCL4, A/G CXCL11 (rs4512021), -403A/G CCL5, C/G CCL2 (rs2857657), -801G/A CXCL12) in the formation of terminal stage of chronic renal failure, in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis, is presented in the work. It was established, that the allele A CXCL11 (rs4512021) (OR = 1.65) was the marker for the development of terminal stage of chronic renal insufficiency, and the genotype GG CXCL11was a protective factor for the development of terminal stage of chronic renal failure (OR = 0.22

Recognition of Avirulence Gene AvrLm1 from Hemibiotrophic Ascomycete Leptosphaeria maculans Triggers Salicylic Acid and Ethylene Signaling in Brassica napus

Interaction of a plant with a fungal pathogen is an encounter with hundreds of molecules. In contrast to this, a single molecule often decides between the disease and resistance. In the present article, we describe the defense responses triggered by AvrLm1, an avirulence gene from a hemibiotrophic ascomycete, Leptosphaeria maculans, responsible for an incompatible interaction with Brassica napus. Using multiple hormone quantification and expression analysis of defense-related genes, we investigated signaling events in Rlm1 plants infected with two sister isolates of L. maculans differentiated by the presence or absence of AvrLm1. Infection with the isolate carrying AvrLm1 increased the biosynthesis of salicylic acid (SA) and induced expression of the SA-associated genes ICS1, WRKY70, and PR-1, a feature characteristic of responses to biotrophic pathogens and resistance gene-mediated resistance. In addition to SA-signaling elements, we also observed the induction of ASC2a, HEL, and CHI genes associated with ethylene (ET) signaling. Pharmacological experiments confirmed the positive roles of SA and ET in mediating resistance to L. maculans. The unusual cooperation of SA and ET signaling might be a response to the hemibiotrophic nature of L. maculans. Our results also demonstrate the profound difference between the natural host B. napus and the model plant Arabidopsis in their response to L. maculans infection

ПЕРЕБУДОВА ХІМІЧНОГО СКЛАДУ КІСТКОВОЇ ТКАНИНИ У ВІКОВОМУ АСПЕКТІ ЗА РІЗНИХ РЕЖИМІВ РУХОВОЇ АКТИВНОСТІ

A deep study of the adjustment processes of bone, its structure, chemical composition, adaptive capacity is a necessary condition for clarifi cation of the infl uence of labor, sports and a number of trades that occur in connection with the scientifi c and technical progress on the body. Simulation of the diff erent modes of motor activity does not fully meet the training process rights in physical education and sport. However, the results obtained in this pilot study are related to the disclosure of general biological laws based on individual and genetically determined characteristics of individuals, knowledge of which will serve as a morphological substantiation of the training process and prediction of structural changes in the skeleton at various modes of physical activity, injury prevention, and the development of osteoporosis.Глубокое изучение процессов перестройки костной ткани, ее строения, химического состава, адаптационных возможностей является необходимым условием выявления закономерностей влияния труда, спорта и ряда профессий, возникающих в связи с научно-техническим прогрессом на организм. Моделирование различных режимов двигательной активности в полной мере соответствует тренировочным процессам человека в физической культуре и спорте. Однако результаты, полученные при данном экспериментальном исследовании, имеют отношение к раскрытию общебиологических закономерностей, основанных на индивидуальных и генетически обусловленных особенностях индивидуумов, знание которых послужит морфологическим обоснованием тренировочного процесса и прогнозированию структурных преобразований в скелете при различных режимах двигательной активности, предотвращению травм и развития остеопороза.Глибоке вивчення процесів перебудови кісткової тканини, її будови, хімічного складу, адаптаційних можливостей є необхідною умовою виявлення закономірностей впливу праці, спорту та ряду професій, що виникають у зв’язку з науково-технічним прогресом, на організм. Моделювання різних режимів рухової активності не в повній мірі відповідає тренувальним процесам людини у фізичній культурі та спорті. Однак результати, отримані при даному експериментальному дослідженні, мають відношення до розкриття загальнобіологічних закономірностей, що ґрунтуються на індивідуальних і генетично обумовлених особливостях індивідуумів, знання котрих послужить морфологічним обґрунтуванням тренувального процесу і прогнозуванню структурних перетворень в скелеті при різних режимах рухової активності, запобіганню травм та розвитку остеопорозу
