BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Several attempts to classify gastric cancer (GCA) have been made over the past decades. Most successful, and widely used, is the classification by Laurén, which distinguishes, by microscopical morphology alone, two main cancer pathogeneses, diffuse (DGCA) and intestinal (IGCA) subtypes, which appear clearly as dissimilar clinical and epidemiological entities. Here we review the main differences in epidemiology, histopathology, and molecular pathology of the two main subtypes of gastric carcinomas based on Laurén classification. In clinical practice, however, clinical staging, particularly in predicting the survival, still remains superior to all classifications of gastric cancer independent of cancer type. The existence of local precursor lesions or conditions of IGCA tumours, i.e. Helicobacter pylori gastritis, atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), adenoma, dysplasia, and intramucosal neoplasia, is firmly established. The links of DGCA with intestinal-type epithelium, AG or IM are poor, or do not exist. So far, H. pylori gastritis is the only universal precursor condition for DGCA. It implies that AG and achlorhydria are of minor significance and infrequent in the development of DGCA but are important steps in that of IGCA. Despite an increasing body of data, the overall view on molecular pathology of GCA remains fragmentary. No consistent differences in the molecular pathology of GCA subtypes to meet the Laurén classification have been established. With the exception of TP53, no gene mutation occurring regularly in both histological types of GCA has been reported. Chromosomal aberrations and loss of heterozygosity seem to be non-specific and do not follow any consistent route in the progression of GCA. Microsatellite instability is more commonly found in IGCA than in DGCA. The present epigenetic data suggest that most of the decrease (or loss) of gene expression may be explained by promoter hypermethylation which is more often found in IGCA. In DGCA specific genes such as CDH1 are more often hypermethylated. Compared with GCA, in premalignant condition lesions gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations are infrequent. Epigenetic dysregulation might also represent a major mechanism for altered gene expression in premalignant stages in gastric carcinogenesis.

背景与目标： ：在过去的几十年中，已经进行了多次尝试来对胃癌（GCA）进行分类。最成功且应用最广泛的是Laurén的分类法，该分类法仅通过显微镜形态就可以区分出两种主要的癌症病原体，即弥散（DGCA）和肠道（IGCA）亚型，它们明显表现为不同的临床和流行病学实体。在这里，我们基于Laurén分类，回顾了两种主要胃癌亚型的流行病学，组织病理学和分子病理学的主要差异。然而，在临床实践中，临床分期，尤其是在预测存活率方面，仍然优于胃癌的所有分类，而与癌症类型无关。牢固地确定了局部局部前体病变或IGCA肿瘤的状况，即幽门螺杆菌胃炎，萎缩性胃炎（AG），肠化生（IM），腺瘤，异型增生和粘膜内瘤变。 DGCA与肠型上皮，AG或IM的联系较差或不存在。到目前为止，幽门螺杆菌胃炎是DGCA的唯一通用先兆病状。这表明AG和胃酸缺乏症在DGCA的发展中意义不大，很少出现，但在IGCA中是重要的步骤。尽管有越来越多的数据，但关于GCA分子病理学的整体观点仍是零碎的。尚未建立符合劳伦分类的GCA亚型分子病理学方面的一致差异。除TP53外，在两种组织学类型的GCA中均没有定期发生基因突变的报道。染色体畸变和杂合性丧失似乎是非特异性的，并且在GCA的发展过程中未遵循任何一致的途径。在IGCA中比在DGCA中更常见微卫星不稳定性。目前的表观遗传学数据表明，基因表达的大多数减少（或丧失）可以通过在IGCA中更常见的启动子高甲基化来解释。在DGCA中，诸如CDH1之类的特定基因更经常被甲基化。与GCA相比，在癌变前病灶中，基因突变和染色体畸变很少见。表观遗传失调也可能代表了胃癌发生前癌变阶段基因表达改变的主要机制。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:The rodent specific reproductive homeobox (Rhox) gene cluster on the X chromosome has been reported to contain twelve homeobox-containing genes, Rhox1-12. RESULTS:We have identified a 40 kb genomic region within the Rhox cluster that is duplicated eight times in tandem resulting in the presence of eight paralogues of Rhox2 and Rhox3 and seven paralogues of Rhox4. Transcripts have been identified for the majority of these paralogues and all but three are predicted to produce full-length proteins with functional potential. We predict that there are a total of thirty-two Rhox genes at this genomic location, making it the most gene-rich homoeobox cluster identified in any species. From the 95% sequence similarity between the eight duplicated genomic regions and the synonymous substitution rate of the Rhox2, 3 and 4 paralogues we predict that the duplications occurred after divergence of mouse and rat and represent the youngest homoeobox cluster identified to date. Molecular evolutionary analysis reveals that this cluster is an actively evolving region with Rhox2 and 4 paralogues under diversifying selection and Rhox3 evolving neutrally. The biological importance of this duplication is emphasised by the identification of an important role for Rhox2 and Rhox4 in regulating the initial stages of embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation. CONCLUSION:The gene rich Rhox cluster provides the mouse with significant biological novelty that we predict could provide a substrate for speciation. Moreover, this unique cluster may explain species differences in ES cell derivation and maintenance between mouse, rat and human.

背景与目标： 背景：据报道，X染色体上的啮齿动物特异性生殖同源盒（Rhox）基因簇含有十二个含同源盒的基因Rhox1-12。
结果：我们在Rhox簇中鉴定出一个40 kb的基因组区域，该区域串联重复八次，导致存在八个Rhox2和Rhox3旁系同源物和七个Rhox4旁系同源物。已为大多数这些旁系同源物确定了转录本，除三个外，均预测会产生具有功能潜力的全长蛋白质。我们预测在该基因组位置总共有32个Rhox基因，使其成为任何物种中鉴定到的最丰富的基因同源盒簇。根据八个重复的基因组区域之间95％的序列相似性以及Rhox2、3和4个旁系同源物的同义替代率，我们预测重复是在小鼠和大鼠分化后发生的，代表了迄今确定的最年轻的同源盒簇。分子进化分析表明，该簇是一个活跃进化的区域，在选择多样化的情况下，Rhox2和4个旁系同源物，而Rhox3则是中性进化的。通过鉴定Rhox2和Rhox4在调节胚胎干（ES）细胞分化的初始阶段中的重要作用，强调了这种重复的生物学重要性。
结论：富含基因的Rhox簇为小鼠提供了重要的生物学新奇，我们预测可以为物种形成提供底物。而且，这种独特的簇可以解释小鼠，大鼠和人之间ES细胞衍生和维持中的物种差异。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The skin as a barrier and immune organ is exposed to omnipresent environmental challenges such as irradiation or chemical and biologic hazards. Neuropeptides released from cutaneous nerves or skin and immune cells in response to noxious stimuli are mandatory for a fine-tuned regulation of cutaneous immune responses and tissue maintenance and repair. They initialize host immune responses, but are equally important for counter regulation of proinflammatory events. Interaction of the nervous and immune systems occurs both locally - at the level of neurogenic inflammation and immunocyte activation - and centrally - by controlling inflammatory pathways such as mononuclear activation or lymphocyte cytokine secretion. Consequently, a deregulated neurogenic immune control results in disease manifestation and frequently accompanies chronic development of cutaneous disorders. The current understanding, therapeutic options, and open questions of the role that neuropeptides such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, neuropeptide Y, or others play in these events are discussed. Progress in this field will likely result in novel therapies for the management of diseases characterized by deregulated inflammation, tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and neoplasm.

背景与目标： ：作为屏障和免疫器官的皮肤暴露于无处不在的环境挑战中，例如辐射或化学和生物危害。皮肤神经或皮肤释放的神经肽以及对有害刺激作出反应的免疫细胞对于皮肤免疫反应以及组织维持和修复的微调调节是必不可少的。它们可以启动宿主的免疫反应，但对于调节促炎事件也同样重要。通过控制诸如单核激活或淋巴细胞细胞因子分泌之类的炎症途径，神经和免疫系统的相互作用既在局部发生（在神经源性炎症和免疫细胞激活的水平），也发生在中央。因此，神经源性免疫控制失调导致疾病表现，并经常伴随皮肤疾病的慢性发展。讨论了有关P物质，降钙素基因相关肽，血管活性肠肽/垂体腺苷酸环化酶激活多肽，神经肽Y或其他在这些事件中发挥作用的神经肽的作用的当前理解，治疗选择和开放性问题。该领域的进展可能会导致新的疗法来治疗以炎症失调，组织重塑，血管生成和肿瘤为特征的疾病。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Over the past decade, the old idea that the bone marrow contains endothelial cell precursors has become an area of renewed interest. While some still believe that there are no endothelial precursors in the blood, even among those who do, there is no consensus as to what they are or what they do. In this review, we describe the problems in identifying endothelial cells and conclude that expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase may be the most reliable antigenic indicator of the phenotype. The evidence for two different classes of endothelial precursors is also presented. We suggest that, though there is no single endothelial cell precursor, we may be able to use these phenotypic variations to our advantage in better understanding their biology. We also discuss how a variety of genetic, epigenetic, and methodological differences can account for the seemingly contradictory findings on the physiological relevance of bone marrow-derived precursors in normal vascular maintenance and in response to injury. Data on the impact of tumor type and location on the contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to the tumor vasculature are also presented. These data provide hope that we may ultimately be able to predict those tumors in which bone marrow-derived cells will have a significant contribution and design therapies accordingly. Finally, factors that regulate bone marrow cell recruitment to and function in the endothelium are beginning to be identified, and several of these, including stromal derived factor 1, monocyte chemoattractant factor-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor are discussed.

背景与目标： ：在过去的十年中，关于骨髓中含有内皮细胞前体的古老观念已经引起人们的广泛关注。尽管有些人仍然认为血液中没有内皮前体，即使在有血液的人中也没有，但是关于它们是什么或它们的行为尚无共识。在这篇综述中，我们描述了鉴定内皮细胞的问题，并得出结论，内皮一氧化氮合酶的表达可能是最可靠的表型抗原指示剂。还提供了两种不同类别的内皮前体的证据。我们建议，尽管没有单个内皮细胞前体，但我们也许能够利用这些表型变异来更好地了解它们的生物学特性。我们还将讨论各种遗传，表观遗传学和方法学上的差异如何解释在正常血管维持和对损伤的反应中骨髓来源的前体的生理相关性看似矛盾的发现。还提供了有关肿瘤类型和位置对骨髓来源的细胞对肿瘤脉管系统的影响的数据。这些数据提供了希望，使我们最终能够预测那些骨髓来源的细胞将发挥重要作用的肿瘤，并据此设计治疗方法。最后，已经开始确定调节骨髓细胞向内皮募集并在内皮中起作用的因子，并讨论了其中的几种，包括基质衍生因子1，单核细胞趋化因子-1和血管内皮生长因子。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :A synthetic biology workflow is composed of data repositories that provide information about genetic parts, sequence-level design tools to compose these parts into circuits, visualization tools to depict these designs, genetic design tools to select parts to create systems, and modeling and simulation tools to evaluate alternative design choices. Data standards enable the ready exchange of information within such a workflow, allowing repositories and tools to be connected from a diversity of sources. The present paper describes one such workflow that utilizes, among others, the Synthetic Biology Open Language (SBOL) to describe genetic designs, the Systems Biology Markup Language to model these designs, and SBOL Visual to visualize these designs. We describe how a standard-enabled workflow can be used to produce types of design information, including multiple repositories and software tools exchanging information using a variety of data standards. Recently, the ACS Synthetic Biology journal has recommended the use of SBOL in their publications.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Over the past 50 years, annual killifishes arose as alternative model organisms for studies of vertebrate biology. The annual fish offers exceptional advantages for studies of genetics, genomics, developmental biology, population dynamics, ecology, biogeography, and evolution. They inhabit extremely variable freshwater environments in Africa and South America, have a short lifespan and a set of unique and fascinating developmental characteristics. Embryos survive within the dry substrate during the dry season, whereas the adult population dies. Thus, the survival of the populations is entirely dependent on the buried embryos that hatch the next rainy season. Although Old and New World species share similarities in their life cycle, they also have different adaptive responses associated with climate-related selective pressures. Therefore, contrasting different species from these areas is essential to understand unique adaptations to heterogeneous environment. A network of laboratories (United States, Czech Republic, Italy, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay) is working and collaborating on many aspects of the biology of annual fishes. Participating researchers share projects and cross-training undergraduate and graduate students. These efforts resulted in two International Symposia (2010 and 2015) that took place in Montevideo and an international book. Herein, we summarize the progress made by this global community of scientists. Developmental Dynamics 246:807-811, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

背景与目标： ：在过去的50年中，一年生的鳞鱼成为了脊椎动物生物学研究的替代模式生物。一年生鱼类为遗传学，基因组学，发育生物学，种群动态，生态学，生物地理学和进化研究提供了特殊的优势。它们居住在非洲和南美极为不同的淡水环境中，寿命短，并具有一系列独特而引人入胜的发展特征。在干旱季节，胚胎在干燥的基质内存活，而成年种群死亡。因此，种群的生存完全取决于下一个雨季孵化的埋葬胚胎。尽管旧大陆和新大陆物种在生命周期上具有相似之处，但它们也具有与气候相关的选择压力相关的不同适应性反应。因此，对比这些地区的不同物种对于了解对异质环境的独特适应性至关重要。实验室网络（美国，捷克共和国，意大利，巴西，智利和乌拉圭）正在与一年生鱼类生物学的许多方面进行合作。参与研究的人员共享项目，并对本科生和研究生进行交叉培训。这些努力导致在蒙得维的亚举行了两次国际研讨会（2010年和2015年）和一本国际书籍。在此，我们总结了这个全球科学家社区所取得的进展。 Developmental Dynamics 246：807-811，2017.©2017 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We are developing biocompatible small-calibre vascular substitutes based on polymeric scaffolds that incorporate cell-matrix signals to enhance vascular cell attachment and function. Our graft scaffold comprises an outer electrostatically spun porous polyurethane layer seeded with smooth muscle cells, and a luminal polycaprolactone layer for endothelial cell attachment. Vascular cell adhesion properties of three vascular elastic fibre molecules, tropoelastin, fibrillin-1 and fibulin-5, have been defined, and adhesion fragments optimized. These fragments are being used to coat the scaffolds to enhance luminal endothelial cell attachment, and to regulate smooth muscle cell attachment and function. Tropoelastin-based cell seeding materials are also being developed. In this way, vascular cell-matrix biology is enhancing graft design.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Arf and Rab proteins, members of small GTPases superfamily, localize to specific subcellular compartments and regulate intracellular trafficking. To carry out their cellular functions, Arfs/Rabs interact with numerous and structurally diverse effector proteins. Over the years, a number of Arf/Rab:effector complexes have been crystallized and their structures reveal shared binding modes including α-helical packing, β-β complementation, and heterotetrameric assemblies. We review available structural information and provide a framework for in-depth analysis of complexes. The unifying features that we identify are organized into a classification scheme for different modes of Arf/Rab:effector interactions, which includes "all-α-helical," "mixed α-helical," "β-β zipping," and "bivalent" modes of binding. Additionally, we highlight structural determinants that are the basis of effector specificity. We conclude by expanding on functional implications that are emerging from available structural information under our proposed classification scheme.

背景与目标： ：Arf和Rab蛋白是小GTPases超家族的成员，位于特定的亚细胞区室并调节细胞内运输。为了执行其细胞功能，Alfs / Rabs与众多结构上不同的效应蛋白相互作用。多年来，许多Arf / Rab：效应复合物已经结晶，其结构揭示了共享的结合模式，包括α-螺旋堆积，β-β互补和异四聚体组装。我们审查可用的结构信息，并提供用于复杂物深入分析的框架。我们确定的统一特征被组织为针对Arf / Rab：effector相互作用的不同模式的分类方案，其中包括“全α螺旋”，“混合α螺旋”，“β-β拉链”和“二价” ”的绑定方式。此外，我们重点介绍了结构决定子，这些决定子是效应子特异性的基础。最后，我们将对提议的分类方案下从可用结构信息中产生的功能含义进行扩展。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Integrin-linked kinase (ILK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of proteinuria and congenital nephrotic syndrome. However, the function of ILK in glomerular podocyte in a physiologic setting remains unknown. In this study, a mouse model was generated in which ILK gene was selectively disrupted in podocytes by using the Cre-LoxP system. Podocyte-specific ablation of ILK resulted in heavy albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, and kidney failure, which led to animal death beginning at 10 wk of age. Podocyte detachment and apoptosis were not observed at 4 wk of age, when albuminuria became prominent, indicating that they are not the initial cause of proteinuria. Electron microscopy revealed an early foot process effacement, as well as morphologic abnormality, in ILK-deficient podocytes. ILK deficiency caused an aberrant distribution of nephrin and alpha-actinin-4 in podocytes, whereas the localization of podocin and synaptopodin remained relatively intact. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that ILK physically interacted with nephrin to form a ternary complex, and alpha-actinin-4 participated in ILK/nephrin complex formation. Therefore, ILK plays an essential role in specifying nephrin and alpha-actinin-4 distribution and in maintaining the slit diaphragm integrity and podocyte architecture. These results also illustrate that the integrin and slit diaphragm signals in podocytes are intrinsically coupled through an ILK-dependent mechanism.

背景与目标： 整联蛋白连接激酶（ILK）已被证明与蛋白尿和先天性肾病综合征的发病机制有关。然而，在生理环境中ILK在肾小球足细胞中的功能仍是未知的。在这项研究中，生成了小鼠模型，其中通过使用Cre-LoxP系统选择性地破坏了足细胞中的ILK基因。 ILK的足细胞特异性消融导致严重的蛋白尿，肾小球硬化和肾衰竭，从而导致动物从10周龄开始死亡。当蛋白尿变得突出时，在4周龄时未观察到足细胞脱离和凋亡，这表明它们不是蛋白尿的最初原因。电子显微镜检查显示，ILK缺陷足细胞有早期足突消失和形态异常。 ILK缺乏引起足细胞中nephrin和α-actinin-4的异常分布，而podocin和synaptopodin的定位仍然相对完整。免疫共沉淀表明ILK与nephrin物理相互作用形成三元复合物，而alpha-actinin-4参与了ILK / nephrin复合物的形成。因此，ILK在指定nephrin和α-actinin-4分布以及维持缝隙隔膜完整性和足细胞结构方面起着至关重要的作用。这些结果还表明，足细胞中的整联蛋白和裂膜信号是通过ILK依赖性机制固有地偶联的。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The present study focused on spermatophore structure, transfer, and subsequent destination inside bloodfeeding females of the species Triatoma infestans and Rhodnius neglectus. The morphology of the spermatophore differed between the species studied, such that in T. infestans, the shape was ovaloid, whereas in R. neglectus, the shape resembled a rod. Structures' spine-like cuticulars distributed across the inner surface of the vagina of both species were observed; however, the role of these cuticulars is unknown in Triatominae. In both species, there was an opening in the spermatophore exactly where the common oviduct is connected, thereby making it possible to confirm that the process of spermatozoid migration takes place through this opening. The results obtained show that the spermatophores of T. infestans and R. neglectus differ in size, shape, and structure. Therefore, they can be used as taxonomic markers and may provide information regarding physiology and evolution.

背景与目标： ：本研究的重点是三生无芒藻和疏叶红景天的雌性吸血雌性内的精子结构，转移和随后的目的。在所研究的物种之间，精子细胞的形态有所不同，因此在T. infestans中，形状为椭圆形，而在R. neglectus中，形状类似于杆状。观察到结构的脊柱状表皮分布在两个物种的阴道内表面上。然而，这些表皮的作用在Triatominae中是未知的。在这两个物种中，精子的确切开口都与普通输卵管相连，因此可以确认精子迁移过程是通过该开口进行的。获得的结果表明，T。infestans和R. neglectus的精原细胞在大小，形状和结构上都不同。因此，它们可以用作分类标记，并可以提供有关生理和进化的信息。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Hybrid breeding in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has the potential to deliver major yield increases. This is a requisite to guarantee food security for increasing population demands and to counterbalance the effects of extreme environmental conditions. Successful hybrid breeding in wheat relies on forced outcrossing while preventing self-pollination. To achieve this, research has been directed towards identifying and improving fertility control systems. To maximise cross-pollination and seed set, however, fertility control systems need to be complemented by breeding phenotypically distinct male and female lines. This review summarises existing and novel male sterility systems for wheat hybridisation. We also consider the genetic resources that can be used to alter wheat's floral development and spike morphology, with a focus on the genetic variation already available. Exploiting these resources can lead to enhanced outcrossing, a key requirement in the progress towards hybrid wheat breeding.

背景与目标： ：小麦（Triticum aestivum L.）的杂交育种有可能带来大幅增产。这是保证粮食安全以增加人口需求并平衡极端环境条件的影响的必要条件。小麦成功的杂交育种依赖于强制杂交，同时防止自花授粉。为了实现这一目标，研究一直致力于识别和改善生育控制系统。但是，为了使异花授粉和种子结实最大化，育种控制系统需要通过育成表型不同的雄性和雌性品系来补充。这篇综述总结了用于小麦杂交的现有和新颖的雄性不育系统。我们还考虑了可用于改变小麦花序发育和穗状形态的遗传资源，重点是现有的遗传变异。开发这些资源可以提高杂交效率，这是杂交小麦育种进展的关键要求。

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Background:Colorectal cancer is known to be the most common type of cancer worldwide with high disease-related mortality. It is the third most common cancer in men and women and is the second major cause of death globally due to cancer. It is a complicated and fatal disease comprising of a group of molecular heterogeneous disorders. Results:This study identifies the potential biomarkers of CRC through differentially expressed analysis, system biology, and proteomic analysis. Ten publicly available microarray datasets were analyzed and seven potential biomarkers were identified from the list of differentially expressed genes having a p value < 0.05. The expression profiling and the functional enrichment analysis revealed the role of these genes in cell communication, signal transduction, and immune response. The protein-protein interaction showed the functional association of the source genes (CTNNB1, NNMT, PTCH1, CALD1, CXCL14, CXCL8, and TNFAIP3) with the target proteins, such as AXIN, MAPK, IL6, STAT, APC, GSK3B, and SHH. Conclusion:The integrated pathway analysis indicated the role of these genes in important physiological responses, such as cell cycle regulation, WNT, hedgehog, MAPK, and calcium signaling pathways during colorectal cancer. These pathways are involved in cell proliferation, chemotaxis, cellular growth, differentiation, tissue patterning, and cytokine production. The study shows the regulatory role of these genes in colorectal cancer and the pathways that can be effected after the dysregulation of these genes.
