چکیده
Mammalian early embryos maintain accurate genome integrity for proper development within a programmed timeline despite constant assaults on their DNA by replication, DNA demethylation and genetic defects transmitted from germ cells. However, how genome integrity is safeguarded during mammalian early embryonic development remains unclear. BCAS2 (breast carcinoma amplified sequence 2), a core component of thePRP19complex involved in pre-mRNAsplicing, plays an important role in theDNA damage response through the RPA complex, a key regulator in the maintenance of genome integrity. Currently, the physiological role of BCAS2 in mammals is unknown. We now report that BCAS2 responds to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage in mouse zygotes. Maternal depletion of BCAS2 compromises the DNA damage response in early embryos, leading to developmental arrest at the twoto four-cell stage accompanied by the accumulation of damaged DNA and micronuclei. Furthermore, BCAS2mutants that are unable to bind RPA1 fail in DNA repair during the zygotic stage. In addition, phosphorylated RPA2 cannot localise to the DNA damage sites in mouse zygotes with disrupted maternal BCAS2. These data suggest that BCAS2 might function through the RPA complex during DNA repair in zygotes. Together, our results reveal that maternal BCAS2 maintains the genome integrity of early embryos and is essential for female mouse fertility.

Investigation of the association between interleukin-1β polymorphism and normal tension glaucoma
PURPOSE In normal tension glaucoma (NTG), factors other than elevated intraocular pressure are likely to have a role in the pathogenesis of optic neuropathy. The potential similarities in cellular apoptosis leading to neurodegeneration between Alzheimer's disease and NTG were shown in recent studies. The interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta; -511) and IL-1beta (+3953) polymorphisms were found to increas...

The interleukin-1 beta gene polymorphism +3953 C/T is not associated with risk for oral cancer.
BACKGROUND Elevated serum levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) have been previously observed in patients with oral cancer. Considering the demonstrated effect of other interleukins to the development of oral cancer, this study investigated whether the +3953 C/Tpolymorphism in the IL-1beta gene is associated with this malignancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The +3953 C/T polymorphism was examined ...

متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene VNTR polymorphism is associated with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the atherosclerosis of coronary arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Cytokine gene variations such as those associated with the IL1 family are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between IL1 family polymorphisms (I...
