Molecular detection and characterization of mutation on 23S rRNA gene associated with clarithromycin resistant in Helicobacter pylori

Abstract

BackgroundHelicobacter pylori consider as pathogenic resistant bacterium was colonized mainly in stomach and causing a prolonged gastritis with gastric ulcers were progressing to gastric carcinoma. Also its resistance to antibiotic considered as the main reason for failure to eradicate of this pathogen has been difficult when this resistance occurred as mutant on protein binding site in 23s ribosomal RNA. The highest cure rates have required multidrug antimicrobial therapies including combinations of omeprazole, clarithromycin and metronidazole.\n\nResultBacterial DNA sequence from gastritis patients with confirmed previous positive ICT samples (Stool and Bloo) were used to obtain co-related between phenotypic & genotypic variant outcome have been observed as SNPs carried on nucleotides which could be altered protein prediction as result of that caused chronic gastritis incline to gastric carcinoma due to abnormal consequence on genetic level in H. species (23s rRNA) was referred to clarithromycin resistance, was achieved on this cross-sectional studies by running two different primers were amplify in PCR machine, first one for urease producing gene (Glm as universal primer) and second one for 23s rRNA as specific primer (rp1/fp1). Two samples out of Four samples were amplified as final isolate in the first cycle and have a specific band in 23s rRNA (NO.11, NO.24) as further DNA samples investigation were sent to get our target sequence.\n\nConclusionBioinformatics tools used to confirm a specific types of mutations give specific position responsible for bacteriostatic activity of macrolides such as clarithromycin depends on capacity to inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 23S ribosomal subunit (23S rRNA) as resistant gene. The detection tools as MSA (multiple sequence alignment) for our nucleotides sequence to (11&24) samples with Genbank accession number 24_MK208582 and 11_MK208583. One type of mutation has been observed in nucleotide sequence (sample-24) in position 2516 (1344 _complementary) sequence result compared with reference sequence standard reference strain (H. pylori U27270) was confirmed which consider it as novel mutation in database for 23S rRNA Gene of H. pylori associated with Clarithromycin Resistance gene in Sudanese patients.

Trans-branching of polyubiquitin chains orchestrates the DNA replication stress response

Polyubiquitin chain geometry dictates functional consequences of ubiquitylation. Although branched polyubiquitin chains are abundant in cells, little is known about their functions. Here we show that branching on the DNA replication factor PCNA, mediated by the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2K and involving lysines 63 and 48 of ubiquitin, orchestrates the sequence of events in response to replication stress. By inducing VCP-dependent extraction of PCNA from chromatin, branching promotes re-priming of stalled forks and necessitates a BRCA1-dependent pathway of daughter-strand gap repair. Our study identifies hyper-accumulation of daughter-strand gaps as the mechanistic basis underlying the toxicity of inhibitors of the PCNA-specific isopeptidase, USP1, in BRCA1-deficient cells. Moreover, an unexpected preference of UBE2K to operate in trans suggests a general timing mechanism to organize hierarchies amongst ubiquitin signals.

Impaired proteostasis is an early feature of the diabetic heart in humans and mice

Diabetes and obesity increase cardiac lipid levels leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We hypothesized that intermittent fasting would reduce cardiac lipid levels. Surprisingly, intermittent fasting increased myocardial triglyceride content, but rescued mortality and attenuated cardiomyopathy in mice overexpressing cardiomyocyte acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (MHC-ACSL1). Lipid overload caused cardiomyocyte accumulation of polyubiquitinated protein aggregates containing desmin, a scaffolding intermediate filament protein, which intermittent fasting prevented. Furthermore, intermittent fasting reversed elevated myocardial C16:0 ceramide content, and knockdown of ceramide synthase CerS5 and CerS6 reduced palmitate-induced protein aggregation, highlighting a role for C16:0 ceramides in this pathology. Conversely, impairing aggrephagy with cardiomyocyte-specific p62 ablation induced heart failure in mice fed a high-fat diet, with paradoxically reduced cardiac lipid content. Crucially, non-failing diabetic human hearts also exhibited protein aggregate pathology. Taken together, these results demonstrate that impaired proteostasis characterizes cardiomyopathy from cardiac lipid overload and identify a promising new therapeutic target for this condition.

Spatial profiling and neurovascular communication in the developing and adolescent cortex following prenatal alcohol exposure

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) constitute a wide range of developmental, cognitive, and behavioral impairments caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Although neuronal and vascular consequences of PAE have been studied, how alcohol affects the cerebrovasculature within the framework of the neurovascular unit (NVU) across development remains poorly understood. At minimum, the NVU comprises neurons, astrocyte endfeet, and endothelial cells (ECs), which coordinate to maintain brain homeostasis. Here, we used the NanoString Digital Spatial Profiling platform to characterize spatial transcriptomic data from neurons, astrocytes, and ECs from PAE and saccharin (SAC) control cortices at embryonic day 18 (E18) and postnatal day 28 (P28). Differentially expressed genes were then used for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to identify altered biological pathways and perform comparison analyses across developmental time points, while CellChat was used to infer cell cell communication networks. We uncovered thousands of differentially expressed genes and numerous altered pathways and biological processes in PAE cortices across development. Both IPA and CellChat analyses implicated dysregulation of vascular and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, cell adhesion, and neuroinflammatory signaling. CellChat further predicted the loss of several key bidirectional relationships and altered ligand-receptor interactions among neurovascular cell types at E18 and P28. Overall, these findings identify PAE associated alterations in neurovascular gene expression and intercellular signaling across development, providing potential mechanisms by which PAE may disrupt neurodevelopment.
