\n The increasing inflow of nitrogen (N) substrates into marine nearshore ecosystems induces proliferation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) of dinoflagellates, such as potentially toxic invasive species Prorocentrum minimum. In this study, we estimated the influence of NO3 −, NH4 + and urea on transcription levels and urea transporter dur3 and nitrate transporter nrt2 genes expression in these dinoflagellates. We identified dur3 and nrt2 genes sequences in unannotated transcriptomes of P. minimum and other dinoflagellates presented in MMETSP database. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these genes of dinoflagellates clustered to the distinct clade demonstrating evolutionary relationship with the other known dur3 and nrt2 genes of microalgae. The evaluation of expression levels of dur3 and nrt2 genes by RT-qPCR revealed their sensitivity to input of the studied N sources. Dur3 expression levels were downregulated after the supplementation of additional N sources and were 1.7–2.6-fold lower than in the nitrate-grown culture. Nrt2 expression levels decreased 1.9-fold in the presence of NH4 +. We estimated total RNA and DNA synthesis rates by the analysis of incorporation of 3H-thymidine and 3H-uridine in batch and continuous cultures. Addition of N compounds did not affect the DNA synthesis rates. Transcription levels increased up to 12.5-fold after the N supplementation in urea-limited treatments. Investigation of various nitrogen sources as biomarkers of dinoflagellate proliferation due to their differentiated impact on expression of dur3 and nrt2 genes and transcription rates in P. minimum cells allowed concluding about high potential of the studied parameters for future modeling of HABs under global N pollution. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd\n

\n The fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T interdigitale account for significant amount of dermatophytosis cases worldwide. These two dermatophytes form a species complex and have a number of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region genotypes, allowing simultaneous species identification and strain typing. Our aim was to describe the geographic distribution of T mentagrophytes/T interdigitale ITS region genotypes and find an association between the genotypes and clinical presentations of respective infections. We performed rDNA ITS region sequencing in 397 Iranian T mentagrophytes/T interdigitale isolates and analysed all available in GenBank entries with sequences of this kind. For the study, 515 clinical annotations were available. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-squared test and Spearman rank correlation analysis. A total of 971 sequences belonged to genotypes with at least 10 geographic annotations and were classified on the basis of exclusive occurrence in a particular region or high relative contribution to a regional sample. We discerned Asian and Oceanian (“KU496915” Type V, “KT192500” Type VIII, “KU315316”), European (“FM986750” Type III, “MF926358” Type III*, “KT285210” Type VI) and cosmopolitan (“FM986691” Type I, “JX122216” Type II, “KP132819” Type II* and “AF170453” Type XXIV) genotypes. There was statistically significant difference in the ITS genotype distribution between different affected body sites. Trichophyton mentagrophytes “KT192500” Type VIII correlated with tinea cruris, T mentagrophytes “KU496915” Type V correlated with tinea corporis, T interdigitale “JX122216” Type II correlated with tinea pedis and onychomycosis. Trichophyton mentagrophytes and T interdigitale genotypes can be associated with distinct geographic locations and particular clinical presentations. © 2019 Blackwell Verlag GmbH\n

\n Objective: To identify disease-causing variants in autosomal recessive axonal polyneuropathy with optic atrophy and provide targeted replacement therapy. Methods: We performed genome-wide sequencing, homozygosity mapping, and segregation analysis for novel disease-causing gene discovery. We used circular dichroism to show secondary structure changes and isothermal titration calorimetry to investigate the impact of variants on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding. Pathogenicity was further supported by enzymatic assays and mass spectroscopy on recombinant protein, patient-derived fibroblasts, plasma, and erythrocytes. Response to supplementation was measured with clinical validated rating scales, electrophysiology, and biochemical quantification. Results: We identified biallelic mutations in PDXK in 5 individuals from 2 unrelated families with primary axonal polyneuropathy and optic atrophy. The natural history of this disorder suggests that untreated, affected individuals become wheelchair-bound and blind. We identified conformational rearrangement in the mutant enzyme around the ATP-binding pocket. Low PDXK ATP binding resulted in decreased erythrocyte PDXK activity and low pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) concentrations. We rescued the clinical and biochemical profile with PLP supplementation in 1 family, improvement in power, pain, and fatigue contributing to patients regaining their ability to walk independently during the first year of PLP normalization. Interpretation: We show that mutations in PDXK cause autosomal recessive axonal peripheral polyneuropathy leading to disease via reduced PDXK enzymatic activity and low PLP. We show that the biochemical profile can be rescued with PLP supplementation associated with clinical improvement. As B6 is a cofactor in diverse essential biological pathways, our findings may have direct implications for neuropathies of unknown etiology characterized by reduced PLP levels.

\n Abstract—: Decreased activity of glucocerebrosidase (GCase) as a result of mutations in the GBA gene causes Gaucher’s disease (GD), which belongs to the group of lysosomal storage disorders. The risk of Parkinson’s disease in homo- and heterozygous carriers of GBA mutations is elevated seven- to eightfold. Screening of novel compounds designed to enhance GCase activity requires development of in vitro models based on primary cell cultures obtained from patients carrying GBA mutations. In this work, the efficiency of different methods used to culture peripheral blood macrophages of GD patients and control subjects was compared, and GCase activity and lysosphingolipid concentrations were evaluated using tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‒MS/MS) in dried cell spots. For the first time, the efficacy of restoring the activity of mutant GCase has been assessed in primary macrophages of GD patients cultured in the presence of pharmacological GCase chaperones isofagomine and ambroxol. Based on these results, a convenient method of in vitro screening of candidate pharmacological agents designed to increase GCase activity can be proposed. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder. Impaired metabolism of alpha-synuclein (SNCA) and its aggregation are implicated in PD pathogenesis. SNCA has been identified as a highly significant genetic risk loci associated with the sporadic form of PD in across populations in GWAS and replicative studies. In this study we conducted a genetic analysis of five SNCA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs356219, rs2619364, rs11931074, rs2583988, rs356168) in 458 PD patients and 353 from North-West region of Russia. We also assessed an association of studied SNPs with alpha-synuclein levels in homogeneous cell fraction of CD45+ blood cells in PD patients and controls. An association with PD was shown for SNPs rs356219, rs11931074, rs356168. After correction for covariates the significant association with the disease only for rs11931074 and rs356168 was shown. Alpha-synuclein level in peripheral blood CD45+ cells was significantly increased in PD patients compared to control subjects (р = 0.02). The effect of SNCA rs356219 and rs356168 on CD45+ alpha-synuclein level in PD patients and control groups was shown. At the same tame the increase of CD45+ alpha-synuclein level in PD patients was revealed only in risk allele carriers as for rs356219 and rs356168 SNPs. Therefore, our study was the first that demonstrated the increased level of alpha-synuclein in CD45+ blood cells in PD patients and showed that it could be influenced by SNCA rs356168 and rs356219. In conclusion we confirmed the significance of the SNCA locus in the PD development. © 2018\n

\n Common variants and risk factors related to familial and sporadic cases of Parkinson's disease (PD) in diverse populations have been identified at numerous genomic loci. In this study, genetic analysis was performed through a screening of LRRK2 G2019S, GBA mutations (L444P, N370S), and common variants (E326K, T369M) in 762 PD patients and in 400 controls. Next-generation sequencing analysis of 22 PD-related genes in 28 early-onset PD cases from North-Western region of Russia was performed. The frequency of LRRK2 G2019S mutation was 5.8% in familial and 0.5% in sporadic PD cases. The frequency of GBA mutations (L444P, N370S) in PD patients was higher compared to controls (odds ratio [OR] = 6.9, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9–53.13, p = 0.031), particularly in patients with early-onset compared to late-onset PD (OR = 3.90 [95% CI, 1.2–13.2], p = 0.009). The frequency of E326K and T369M was twice higher among PD patients than in controls (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.05–4.79, p = 0.033). However, the screening of 22 PD-related genes using our novel panel of gene resequencing in our series of 28 early-onset PD failed to identify any mutations. LRRK2 and GBA mutations were found to be common risk factors for PD in North-Western region of Russia. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.\n

\n Parkinson's disease (PD) patients are often characterized by copper dyshomeostasis, which is responsible for ROS formation and fibrillogenesis. However, the relationships between copper metabolism and PD development are unclear. In this study in 50 patients with PD (pPD) and 50 age-matched healthy individuals, the serum total copper concentration, oxidase activity, ceruloplasmin and SOD3 protein concentrations were measured; and amount of copper atoms per ceruloplasmin molecule was calculated. These parameters were lower in pPD relatively to healthy volunteers. Decrease in concentrations of SOD3, ceruloplasmin, and copper but increase of interleukin-6 levels were associated with a risk of PD. Two consistent patterns were identified. First, a low serum copper concentration related with PD development and predominantly affected the non-motor symptoms of PD. There was no correlation between copper concentration and ceruloplasmin oxidase activity level (r = 0.27) in pPD. Second, Chelex 100 treatment revealed that pPD ceruloplasmin compared with ceruloplasmin of healthy individuals displayed smaller content of labile copper atoms. The presence or absence of these atoms had no effect on ceruloplasmin enzymatic activities. Our findings suggest that cuproenzyme deficiency, which is typical for PD, can be caused by violation of metabolic incorporation of the labile copper atoms into ceruloplasmin molecule. © 2017 Elsevier Ireland Ltd and Japan Neuroscience Society\n

\n Abstract—: The 5-hydroxytrypamine (serotonin) 2A receptor (5-HTR2A) is the key receptor involved in the monoaminergic regulation of the body, which determines the biological functions and behavior of a person, and the target of the action of atypical antipsychotics. Polymorphic variants of the HTR2А gene rs6311 (-1438 A>G) and rs6313 (102 T>C)), potentially associated with impairment of the effectiveness of posttranscriptional processes, are considered to be risk factors for neuropsychiatric and cognitive pathologies. In the present study, we performed genotyping of these allelic variants among patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders on antipsychotic therapy (haloperidol or olanzapine) (n = 60) and in the control group (n = 106). High linkage disequilibrium of allelic variants rs6311 and rs6313 (D' = 0.98) was found, and significant differences between the distribution of control group genotypes and patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders were not detected. The contribution of the carriage of homozygous genotype GG (CC) into the efficacy of haloperidol therapy (р = 0.048) was shown. The effect of single nucleotide polymorphic variants rs6311 and rs6313 of the HTR2A gene on the mRNA level of the gene and the amount of 5-HTR2A in patients with mental disorders on the antipsychotic therapy was estimated for the first time. Before treatment, the level of the mRNA of the HTR2A gene was not different between the genotypes, whereas the amount of the 5-HTR2A protein was significantly higher in carriers of the AA (TT) genotype (р = 0.004). While mRNA level of HTR2A gene (р = 0.034) was increased in carriers of the GG (CC) genotype on haloperidol therapy. Olanzapine therapy reduced the amount of 5-HTR2A in the carriers of the wild-type “A” allele, apparently due to the pharmacological effect of the drug. Thus, the obtained data suggest that antipsychotic drugs, regardless of their affinity, modulate the transcription and/or translation of the HTR2A gene in the rs6311 (rs6313) genotype-dependent manner, and may affect the effectiveness of therapy. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Abstract: At present, it is believed that disregulation of alpha-synuclein (SNCA) metabolism and its aggregation is associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is thought that the death of dopaminergic neurons in PD can be mediated by the effect of dopamine on the process of alpha-synuclein oligomerization, primarily by direct oxidation of the protein. At the same time, the effect of dopamine on the regulation mechanism of the SNCA gene expression is not excluded. It is known that transcription factors GATA-1, GATA-2, and ZSCAN21 can participate in the regulation of SNCA expression. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of exogenous dopamine (100 μM) on the mRNA level of the SNCA, GATA-1, GATA-2, and ZSCAN21 genes and the level of total alpha-synuclein in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of patients with PD (n = 18) and individuals of the control group (n = 14) using real-time PCR and ELISA, subsecuently. A decrease in the SNCA expression level under the action of dopamine was first found in PBL of patients with PD (P = 0.013), of the control group (P = 0.004), and of the combined group that included patients with PD and control individuals (P = 0.001). When assessing alpha-synuclein level, a tendency toward its decrease in PBL of individuals from the control group (P = 0.068), as well as of the combined group of PD patients and control individuals (P = 0.059), was revealed by comparing the cells treated and untreated with dopamine. An increase in the mRNA level of the ZSCAN21 gene in PBL of control group individuals (P = 0.022), as well as of the GATA-1 gene in PBL of the group of patients with PD (P = 0.019) cultured in the presence of dopamine, was shown. An increase in the mRNA levels of the genes GATA-1, GATA-2, and ZSCAN21 in PBL under the treatment with dopamine was also observed in the combined group of patients with PD and control individuals (P = 0.027, 0.029, and 0.002 for GATA-1, GATA-2, and ZSCAN21, respectively). Thus, the obtained data show the effect of dopamine on the mRNA level of the SNCA, GATA-1, GATA-2, and ZSCAN21 genes in cultured PBL of PD patients and control group individuals, suggesting a possible effect of dopamine on the regulation of SNCA expression. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Introduction: Glucocerebrosidase 1 mutations, the most common genetic contributor to Parkinson's disease (PD), have been associated with decreased glucocerebrosidase enzymatic activity in PD patients with glucocerebrosidase 1 mutations (glucocerebrosidase 1–PD). However, it is unknown whether this decrease in enzymatic activity leads to lysosphingolipid accumulations. Methods: The levels of hexosylsphingosines, globotriaosylsphingosine, sphingomyelin, and sphingomyelin-509 were measured in dried blood spots from glucocerebrosidase 1–PD patients (n = 23), sporadic PD patients (n = 105), Gaucher disease patients (n = 32), and controls (n = 88) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results: Glucocerebrosidase 1–PD patients had increased hexosylsphingosine levels when compared with sporadic PD patients (P <.001) and controls (P <.0001). Hexosylsphingosine levels were increased in glucocerebrosidase 1 mutation carriers of glucocerebrosidase 1 (L444P; N370S; n = 11, P =.001) and glucocerebrosidase 1 polymorphic variants (E326K, T369M) associated with PD (n = 12, P =.04) when compared with controls. Conclusions: Lysosphingolipid accumulations in PD patients who bear glucocerebrosidase 1 mutations suggest that substrate reduction therapy might be viewed as a possible strategy for glucocerebrosidase 1–PD treatment. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society\n

\n The goal of this study was to assess the ability of singlet oxygen generated at PDT to inhibit the activity of the model enzyme - Taq polymerase. Experimentally were determined the laser irradiation dose and the singlet oxygen concentration (over 300 μM) that results to complete inhibition of Taq polymerase activity. The results show that enzymatic proteins have an order of magnitude higher susceptibility than DNA molecules to damage by singlet oxygen. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.\n

\n Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex disease with its monogenic forms accounting for less than 10% of all cases. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) technology has been used successfully to find mutations in large families. However, because of the late onset of the disease, only small families and unrelated patients are usually available. WES conducted in such cases yields in a large number of candidate variants. There are currently a number of imperfect software tools that allow the pathogenicity of variants to be evaluated. Objectives: We analyzed 48 unrelated patients with an alleged autosomal dominant familial form of PD using WES and developed a strategy for selecting potential pathogenetically significant variants using almost all available bioinformatics resources for the analysis of exonic areas. Methods: DNA sequencing of 48 patients with excluded frequent mutations was performed using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The possible pathogenetic significance of identified variants and their involvement in the pathogenesis of PD was assessed using SNP and Variation Suite (SVS), Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) and Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) software. Functional evaluation was performed using the Pathway Studio database. Results: A significant reduction in the search range from 7082 to 25 variants in 23 genes associated with PD or neuronal function was achieved. Eight (FXN, MFN2, MYOC, NPC1, PSEN1, RET, SCN3A and SPG7) were the most significant. Conclusions: The multistep approach developed made it possible to conduct an effective search for potential pathogenetically significant variants, presumably involved in the pathogenesis of PD. The data obtained need to be further verified experimentally. © 2018 Shulskaya, Alieva, Vlasov, Zyrin, Fedotova, Abramycheva, Usenko, Yakimovsky, Emelyanov, Pchelina, Illarioshkin, Slominsky and Shadrina.\n

\n Planar silicon nanostructures that are formed as a very narrow silicon quantum well confined by delta-barriers heavily doped with boron are used to study the dielectric properties of DNA oligonucleotides deposited onto the surface of the nanostructures. The capacitance characteristics of the silicon nanostructures with oligonucleotides deposited onto their surface are determined by recording the local tunneling current- voltage characteristics by means of scanning tunneling microscopy. The results show the possibility of identifying the local dielectric properties of DNA oligonucleotide segments consisting of repeating G–C pairs. These properties apparently give grounds to correlate the segments with polymer molecules exhibiting the properties of multiferroics. © 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n A multicenter prospective epidemiological survey on the etiologic agents of invasive candidosis was conducted in Russia in the period of 2012–2014. Samples were collected from 284 patients with invasive candidosis and Candida species isolated by culture. The species were identified by DNA sequencing and MALDI-TOF massspectrometry. A total of 322 isolates were recovered, in which 96% of Сandida species belonged to six major species, namely, C. albicans (43.2%), C. parapsilosis (20.2%), C. glabrata (11.5%), C. tropicalis (9.6%), C. krusei (6.2%), and C. guilliermondii (5.3%). Most Candida species were isolated from blood samples (83.23%). Notably, the prevalence rate of C. albicans reduced from 52.38% to 32.79% (2012 vs. 2014) (P = 0.01) whereas that of non-C. albicans increased from 47.62% (2012) to 67.21% (2014) (P < 0.01). Species distribution differed among geographical regions; specifically, the prevalence rate of C. albicans as an etiologic agent of invasive candidosis in Siberian Federal region was significantly higher than that in other Federal regions. Results indicated a shift from C. albicans to non-C. albicans. Therefore, a detailed investigation on the contributing factors and appropriate treatment of invasive candidosis is needed. © 2018, Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.\n

\n Unified antipsychotic therapy strategy has proven ineffective approach to mental patient treatment. Pharmacological drug effectiveness study on model organisms reflecting the individual pathophysiology of the patients is one of the directions of personified/predictive therapy. During research we estimated mRNA levels of neurotransmitter receptor genes (ADR1B, HRH1, HTR2A, DRD1, DRD2, DRD4 and DRD5) which are affected by antipsychotics as possible biomarkers of the forecasting of schizophrenic range disorder therapy during in vitro modulating therapy (haloperidol or olanzapine) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The study included 108 patients with schizophrenic range disorders. Based on psychometric study results under therapy by antipsychotics (28 2 days) the patients were divided into pharmacotherapy response groups (effective/low-efficiency). The mRNA expression levels of the studied genes in cultivated in vitro PBMC in the presence of antipsychotic significantly increased in the group of patients with low-efficiency therapy, whereas in the group of patients with a good dynamic of mental status recovery they remained almost unchanged. The highest reliability of differences in the gene expression level for patients with different responses to pharmacological effects was achieved for ADR1B and HRH1 under olanzapine therapy (P = 0.004 and P = 0.038, respectively) and for HTR2A under haloperidol therapy (P = 0.039). At the same time, baseline mRNA expression levels of genes in PBMCs (without culturing) were not associated with the patient response to therapy. Thus, mRNA expression levels of neurotransmitter genes in in vitro cultured PBMCs in the presence of antipsychotic can be offered as a biomarker of the forecasting of mental patient pharmacotherapy. © 2018 Sankt Peterburg.All rights reserved.\n

\n Trichophyton rubrum is an important causative agent of superficial mycoses worldwide. To uncover a genetic composition of a local population of this fungus, we sequenced A7C99 6411 and A7C99 6714 loci, coding for hypothetical proteins and revealed two complex genotypes, differing by a single missense mutation in each locus. One of the two A7C99 6411/6714 genotypes was not found in tinea pedis cases and demonstrated mostly longer TRS-1 elements when compared to another genotype. Thus, we present a description of nucleotide polymorphism in protein-coding loci in T. rubrum and provide evidence for ecological preferences of T. rubrum genotypes at a local scale. © The Author 2017.

\n «Brain-gut-microbiota axis» includes central, neuroendocrine and neuroimmunological nervous systems, sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of autonomic nervous system and gut microbiota. In the present article are discussed the mechanisms of mutual impact of gut microbiota and nervous and immune systems during PD, rôle of gut microbiota in the launch of process of neurodegeneration. Gastrointestinal tract dysfunction during PD uncludes constipation, hypotrophy, periodontitis and gingivitis, dysphagy, gastric emptying troubles, defecation difficulties, infections, caused by helicobacteriosis and intestinal dysbiosis. Gut microbiota's composition during PD has its own particularitites: there have been observed increase of Enterobacteriaceae type of bacteria, decrease in quantity of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, bacteria belonging to the families Lactobacillaceae and Prevotellaceae. There have been several discriptions of relations between gut microbiota composition and motor and non-motor manifestations of the disease. «Brain-gut-microbiota axis» works in two directions and participates in modulations of pro and antiinflammatory reactions, there has been discovered an impact of gut microbiota on the immune mechanisms of PD development, neuroinflammation and balance of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines. Inflammation related to the changes in intestine microbiocenosis can contribute to Alpha-Synuclein development, further developments lead to peripheral inflammation, immunosypressive; also, autoimmune processes lead to degradation of dopaminergic neurons. Further research related of the «Brain-gut-microbiota axis» during PD can lead to discover new aspects of pathophysiology of the disease, discovery of peripheral biomarkers in enteric nervous system, development of new therapeutic methods based on corrections of gut microbiocenosis disfunction with help of probiotics, autoprobiotics or even fecal microbiota transplantation. © 2018 Izdatel'stvo Meditsina.

\n Aim. To reveal the molecular genetic predictors of adverse clinical course of coronary heart disease (CHD). Material and methods. A clinical genetic investigation performed, of 567 CHD patients, of those 199 underwent dynamic follow-up. Genotypes Pro12Pro, Pro12Ala, Ala12Ala of the gene PPAR-γ2, genotypes L162L and L162V gene PPAR-α, genotypes A603A, A603G, G603G gene of tissue factor were assessed with polymerase chain reaction and further restrictional analysis. Results. Carriage of the allele V162 gene PPAR-α and allele Ala12 gene PPAR-γ2 is associated with development of the following endpoints in CHD patients: recurrent angina, progression of heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, stroke and transient cerebral ischemia, myocardial infarction, fatal outcomes. Diabetes type 2 (DM2) in CHD patients was associated with the risk of adverse outcome 2,55 times. There was relation of DM2 in CHD patients and mortality. In CHD patients that undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and bypass grafting, the combination endpoint was registered rarer than in CHD patients with no interventions, with a decline of adverse CHD prognosis 2 times. The results can be explained by decreased inhibition of NF-kВ pathway in carriers of V162 and Ala12 genes PPAR-α and PPAR-γ2, that facilitates activation of the factors of immune inflammation and atherogenesis with further adverse outcomes of CHD. It is known that DM2 is a risk factor of CHD and its complications. Conclusion. Presence of DM2, carriage of allele V162 gene PPAR-α and allele Ala12 gene PPAR-γ2 is associated with adverse outcomes of CHD. In CHD patients with surgical revascularization of coronary arteries the risk of adverse CHD outcomes declined 2 times. © Russian Journal of Cardiology.\n

\n Background: Biomarkers are now widely used in many fields of medicine, and the identification of biomarkers that predict antipsychotic efficacy and adverse reactions is a growing area of psychiatric research. Monoamine molecules of the peripheral bloodstream are possible prospective biomarkers based on a growing body of evidence indicating that they may reflect specific changes in neurotransmitters in the brain. The aim of this study was to detect peripheral biogenic amine indicators of patients with acute psychosis and to test the correlations between the biological measures studied and the psychopathological status of the patients. Methods: This research included 60 patients with acute psychosis treated with olanzapine (n=30) or haloperidol (n=30). Here, we measured biogenic amine indicators, including mRNA levels of dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) and the serotonin 2A receptor (5HTR2A), in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and serum dopamine concentrations by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Psychopathological status was evaluated using psychometric scales. The assessments were conducted prior to and after 14 and 28 days of treatment. Results: The administration of haloperidol, but not olanzapine, up-regulated 5HTR2A mRNA in a linear manner, albeit without statistical significance (p=0.052). Both drugs had non-significant effects on DRD4 mRNA levels. Nevertheless, a positive correlation was found between DRD4 and 5HTR2A mRNA levels over a longitudinal trajectory, suggesting co-expression of the two genes. A significant positive correlation was observed between 5HTR2A mRNA levels and total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores in both groups of patients before treatment. A significant correlation between baseline 5HTR2A mRNA levels and PANSS scores on days 14 and 28 of treatment remained for patients treated with olanzapine only. Moreover, a significant positive correlation was observed between blood serum dopamine levels and scores on extrapyramidal symptom scales in the olanzapine group. Conclusions: The DRD4 and 5HTR2A genes are co-expressed in PBMCs during antipsychotic administration. Despite a correlation between the studied biogenic amine indicators and the psychopathological status of patients, reliable biomarkers of treatment response could not be determined. © 2017 The Author(s).\n

\n Single stranded DNA damage at photodynamic treatment with Radachlorin photosensitizer was investigated. Chemical trap method was used to evaluate generation of singlet oxygen in water solution. Interaction of singlet oxygen with ssDNA resulted into decrease of the replication activity of ssDNA. DNA stopped replicating during PCR at irradiation doses greater than 15 J/cm2 and concentration of photosensitizer [PS] = 3.8 μM. The dependence of replication activity of ssDNA on generated singlet oxygen concentration was identified. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.\n

\n Platelet concentrate is used to restore and maintain hemostasis in patients with a reduced number or activity of platelets. Platelet concentrate changes its properties when stored, which leads to a weakening of the therapeutic effect, as well as the occurrence of transfusion side effects. One of the processes that alter platelet concentrates during storage is the secretion of several types of membrane vesicles. Despite the fact that platelet-derived membrane vesicles affect homeostasis and transmit signals of intercellular communication, mechanisms of their formation, features of regulatory activity and molecular composition are still poorly understood. In this paper, the results of analysis of CD42b and CD9 membrane proteins expression in platelets and platelet-derived membrane vesicles during platelet-concentrate storage are presented. Populations of membrane vesicles of different sizes were isolated from the platelet concentrates and characterized. Aggregation and morphological alteration of platelets are observed during storage; the protein composition of platelets, as well as membrane vesicles, changes, and there is a significant increase in the levels of CD42b and CD9 proteins in fractions of membrane vesicles. The results obtained indicate that platelet concentrates contain different populations of membrane vesicles, the molecular composition of which varies during storage. © 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

The opportunist pathogens linked to alcoholic dependence included pro-inflammatory Enterobacteriaceae, while the hallmarks of cirrhosis included an increase of oral microbes in the gut and more frequent occurrence of abnormal community structures. Interestingly, each of the two factors was associated with the expressed enrichment in many Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus-but the exact set of the species was different between alcoholic dependence and liver cirrhosis. At the level of functional potential, the patients showed different patterns of increase in functions related to alcohol metabolism and virulence factors, as well as pathways related to inflammation.\r\nCONCLUSIONS: Multiple shifts in the community structure and metabolic potential suggest strong negative influence of alcohol dependence and associated liver dysfunction on gut microbiota. The identified differences in patterns of impact between these two factors are important for planning of personalized treatment and prevention of these pathologies via microbiota modulation. Particularly, the expansion of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus suggests that probiotic interventions for patients with alcohol-related disorders using representatives of the same taxa should be considered with caution. Taxonomic and functional analysis shows an increased propensity of the gut microbiota to synthesis of the toxic acetaldehyde, suggesting higher risk of colorectal cancer and other pathologies in alcoholics.},\r\nauthor_keywords={Acetaldehyde;  Alcoholic dependence syndrome;  Alcoholic liver cirrhosis;  Bifidobacterium;  Gut-brain axis;  Human gut microbiota;  Lactobacillus;  Metagenome;  Virulence factors},\r\nissn={20492618},\r\npubmed_id={29041989},\r\nlanguage={English},\r\nabbrev_source_title={Microbiome},\r\ndocument_type={Article},\r\nsource={Scopus},\r\n}\r\n\r\n

Alcoholic dependence was inversely associated with the levels of butyrate-producing species from the Clostridiales order, while the cirrhosis-with multiple members of the Bacteroidales order. The opportunist pathogens linked to alcoholic dependence included pro-inflammatory Enterobacteriaceae, while the hallmarks of cirrhosis included an increase of oral microbes in the gut and more frequent occurrence of abnormal community structures. Interestingly, each of the two factors was associated with the expressed enrichment in many Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus-but the exact set of the species was different between alcoholic dependence and liver cirrhosis. At the level of functional potential, the patients showed different patterns of increase in functions related to alcohol metabolism and virulence factors, as well as pathways related to inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple shifts in the community structure and metabolic potential suggest strong negative influence of alcohol dependence and associated liver dysfunction on gut microbiota. The identified differences in patterns of impact between these two factors are important for planning of personalized treatment and prevention of these pathologies via microbiota modulation. Particularly, the expansion of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus suggests that probiotic interventions for patients with alcohol-related disorders using representatives of the same taxa should be considered with caution. Taxonomic and functional analysis shows an increased propensity of the gut microbiota to synthesis of the toxic acetaldehyde, suggesting higher risk of colorectal cancer and other pathologies in alcoholics.\n

\n Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is the most common known risk factor for secondary glaucoma and a major cause of blindness worldwide. Variants in two genes, LOXL1 and CACNA1A, have previously been associated with XFS. To further elucidate the genetic basis of XFS, we collected a global sample of XFS cases to refine the association at LOXL1, which previously showed inconsistent results across populations, and to identify new variants associated with XFS. We identified a rare protective allele at LOXL1 (p.Phe407, odds ratio (OR) = 25, P = 2.9 × 10-14) through deep resequencing of XFS cases and controls from nine countries. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of XFS cases and controls from 24 countries followed by replication in 18 countries identified seven genome-wide significant loci (P < 5 × 10-8). We identified association signals at 13q12 (POMP), 11q23.3 (TMEM136), 6p21 (AGPAT1), 3p24 (RBMS3) and 5q23 (near SEMA6A). These findings provide biological insights into the pathology of XFS and highlight a potential role for naturally occurring rare LOXL1 variants in disease biology. © 2017 Nature America, Inc., part of Springer Nature.

\n Alcoholism is associated with significant changes in gut microbiota composition. Metagenomic sequencing allows to assess the altered abundance levels of bacterial taxa and genes in a culture-independent way. We collected 99 stool samples from the patients with alcoholic dependence syndrome (n=72) and alcoholic liver cirrhosis (n=27). Each of the samples was surveyed using “shotgun” (whole-genome) sequencing on SOLiD platform. The reads are deposited in the ENA (project ID: PRJEB18041). © 2017\n

\n Alpha-synuclein oligomerization plays a key role in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Being the most common genetic contributor to PD, glucocerebrosidase 1 (GBA) mutations have been associated with decreased GBA enzymatic activity in PD patients with mutations in the GBA gene (GBA-PD). However, it is unknown whether the activities of other lysosomal hydrolases are being altered in GBA-PD patients and are accompanied by an increase in alpha-synuclein oligomerization. The aim of our study was to estimate GBA enzymatic activity as well as the activities of five other lysosomal hydrolases (galactocerebrosidase, alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, sphingomyelinase, alpha-iduronidase) in dried blood spots with assessing plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels in sporadic PD (sPD) patients, in GBA-PD patients and in controls. GBA enzymatic activity and plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were assessed in sPD patients (N = 84), in GBA-PD patients (N = 21) and controls (N = 62) by LC–MS/MS and ELISA methods accordingly. GBA-PD patients showed lower GBA enzymatic activity compared to controls (p = 0.001) and to sPD (p = 0.0001). We also found the reduction of GLA enzymatic activity (but not of other lysosomal hydrolases) in GBA-PD (p = 0.001). At the same time plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein levels were increased in GBA-PD group compared to sPD and controls (p = 0.002 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Our results suggest that the decrease in enzymatic activity of lysosomal hydrolases in GBA mutation carriers may contribute to PD pathogenesis by increasing the level of neurotoxic oligomeric alpha-synuclein species. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd\n

Taxonomic analysis revealed changes in the relative abundance of the predominant bacteria associated with inflammatioln (including increased levels of Ruminococcus gnavus and R. torques, and decreased levels of Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia genera). The microbiota of ADS patients was characterized by the presence of opportunistic pathogens rarely detected in metagenomes of healthy individuals from different countries. Comparative analysis of total metabolic potential revealed increased relative abundance of KEGG pathways associated with the response to oxidative stress. ADS patients also had increased levels of two specific groups of genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolism of alcohol, as well as virulence factors. It is possible that gut microbiota of ADS patients demonstrating changes in both taxonomic and functional composition plays a role in modulating the effects of alcohol on the host body © 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Autosomal-recessive early-onset parkinsonism is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. The genetic causes of approximately 50% of autosomal-recessive early-onset forms of Parkinson disease (PD) remain to be elucidated. Homozygozity mapping and exome sequencing in 62 isolated individuals with early-onset parkinsonism and confirmed consanguinity followed by data mining in the exomes of 1,348 PD-affected individuals identified, in three isolated subjects, homozygous or compound heterozygous truncating mutations in vacuolar protein sorting 13C (VPS13C). VPS13C mutations are associated with a distinct form of early-onset parkinsonism characterized by rapid and severe disease progression and early cognitive decline; the pathological features were striking and reminiscent of diffuse Lewy body disease. In cell models, VPS13C partly localized to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Silencing of VPS13C was associated with lower mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial fragmentation, increased respiration rates, exacerbated PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy, and transcriptional upregulation of PARK2 in response to mitochondrial damage. This work suggests that loss of function of VPS13C is a cause of autosomal-recessive early-onset parkinsonism with a distinctive phenotype of rapid and severe progression. © 2016 The American Society of Human Genetics.\n

\n Although platelets lack nuclei, they are capable of de novo protein synthesis. We speculate that key platelet receptors are involved in the regulation of this process, and the changes in their number indicate the de novo protein synthesis in platelets. The object of our study was native platelets obtained from healthy donors. Using flow cytometry and Western blot, we determined the number of GP IIb-IIIa receptors (fibrinogen receptor) and P2Y12 receptors (ADP receptor) on the surface of platelets upon their activation with ADP and collagen. To verify the approaches and techniques used, we studied IL-1β protein, which was previously shown to be synthesized de novo in activated platelets. GP IIb-IIIa receptor numbers correlate with the number of P2Y12 receptors on the cell surface (R = 0.45, p = 0.03). It was demonstrated that the platelet receptor numbers are higher on the surface of the cells with high functional activity. According to the data obtained by Western blot, upon the cell activation with ADP, the number of GP IIb-IIIa and P2Y12 receptors increases, which may serve as evidence of these proteins being synthesized in the activated platelets. It was observed that the level of P2Y12 and IL-1β was lower in the samples where GP IIb-IIIa receptor was blocked by the selective inhibitor, i.e., the Fab fragment of the antibodies that specifically recognizes the GP IIb-IIIa complex. This suggests the important role of GP IIb-IIIa receptor in the regulation of protein synthesis. © 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Inc.\n

\n The expression of dopamine receptor (DRD), Nurr1 transcription factor (NR4A2), and α-sinucleine (SNCA) genes in peripheral blood lymphocytes is evaluated. The results indicate that alcohol dependence is associated with high expression of SNCA and DRD4 (signifi cantly higher than in the control group) and is not associated with changes in the work of NR4A2 and DRD3 genes. The levels of DRD3 and DRD4 mRNA form a positive linear correlation (p≤0.05). The expression of SNCA and DRD4 genes can serve as an important peripheral marker of alcohol dependence development, which is essential for antipsychotic therapy. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.\n

\n Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder whose symptoms are consistent with death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain. The pathogenesis of PD involves several factors, such as α-synuclein aggregation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of apoptosis, but the exact molecular mechanism of neurodegeneration remains obscure. PD is usually sporadic, while rare monogenic forms have been identified and described in the past 15 years. Familial Parkinson's disease is most commonly associated with mutations of the leucine repeat-rich kinase 2 gene (LRRK2). The mechanism of the disease due to LRRK2 mutations is unknown. The signaling cascades regulated by LRRK2 are difficult to study because the physiological substrates of the enzyme are unidentified. The G2019S substitution has been found to be the most common LRRK2 mutation, facilitating a search for patients with LRRK2-associated PD in various populations. The review considers the effects of LRRK2 mutations on protein and, in particular, α-synuclein aggregation, cytoskeletal dynamics, the inflammatory response, and the induction of apoptosis as revealed in both in vitro experiments and studies in PD patients. Investigation of rare hereditary PD forms with known etiology provides for a better understanding of the mechanism of neurodegeneration in more common sporadic PD forms. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.\n

\n A link between lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) and neurodegenerative disorders associated with accumulation of presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein has been shown. Particularly, Gaucher disease (GD) patients with a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GBA) and carriers of GBA mutations are at increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). It remains unclear whether this link is due to increased alpha-synuclein oligomerization. Here we show that level of oligomeric alpha-synuclein form, associated with PD development, is increased in plasma of GD patients (. n=. 41, median. =. 22.9. pg/mL, range1.57-444.58. pg/mL; controls (. n=. 40, median. =. 6.02. pg/mL, range 1.05-103.14. pg/mL, p<. 0.0001). This difference is absent in GD patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for more than 5 years. Moreover, the levels of alpha-synuclein oligomers in plasma are also higher in patients with other LSDs (Niemann-Pick type C, Krabbe disease, Wolman disease) compared to the median value in controls. Therefore, we suggest that mutations in the GBA gene and at least in several other LSDs genes may be associated with an increase in oligomeric alpha-synuclein in plasma. ERT applied for recovering of GBA functions in GD treatment might decrease formation of plasma oligomeric alpha-synuclein. © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.\n

\n The antiatherogenic role of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) was demonstrated by numerous experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies. The mechanism underlying the antiatherogenic potential of HDL is based on their involvement in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) from peripheral tissues into the liver. Transmembrane transporter ABCG1 is a key RCT protein. Its function is to remove cholesterol from cells and transfer it to HDL. The role of ABCG1 transporter in the development of atherosclerosis in humans remains unexplored. The goal of our study was to investigate the expression of ABCG1 gene in patients with atherosclerosis. Real-time PCR was applied to study ABCG1 mRNA content in leukocytes, monocytes, and macrophages activated with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) from patients with atherosclerosis and healthy people. The amount of ABCG1 protein in monocytes and macrophages of patients and healthy donors was assayed by immunoblotting. It was found that the level of ABCG1 mRNA (p < 0.001) and ABCG1 protein (p < 0.05) was lower in macrophages of patients with atherosclerosis. The level of ABCG1 mRNA in monocytes of patients with artery occlusion was lower than in patients with features of lesser stenosis and the control group (p < 0.05). No correlation was found between ABCG1 gene expression and total and HDL cholesterol levels in the blood plasma. It can be concluded that reduced ABCG1 gene expression in monocytes and macrophages may be critical for the atherosclerosis progression. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

Subjects and methods. The investigation enrolled 147 patients with ACS. Their blood was sampled on days 1, 3-5, and 8-12 days after the onset of ACS. All the patients received acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 300 mg on day 1, then 100 mg/day and Clopidogrel 300-600 mg on day 1, then 75-150 mg/day. Platelet aggregation was analyzed in 65 patients on day 1 after ASA intake, but prior to Clopidogrel therapy. The aggregation was induced by 5 and 20 μmol of ADP. Results. With the use of Clopidogrel 75 mg/day on day 3-5, platelet aggregation was reduced by 2.1 and 1.7 times for 5 and 20 umol of ADP, respectively, as compared to day 1 (ASA without Clopidogrel) and remained unchanged on days 8-12. Increasing the dose of Clopidogrel up to 150 mg/day potentiated its antiaggregatory effect. On day 1 (ASA without Clopidogrel), there was a direct correlation between platelet aggregation levels and mean platelet volume (MPV) (correlation coefficients (r), 0.526 (p<0.001) and 0.368 (p=0.015) for 5 and 20 umol of ADP, and between platelet aggregation levels and glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (r=0.387; p=0.002 and r=0.411 (p<0.001) for 5 and 20 pmol of ADP. No similar correlations were found on days 3-5 and 8-12 of administration of ASA and Clopidogrel. The genetic polymorphism of GP IIb-IIIa (GP IIIa Leu33Pro) was not noted to affect platelet aggregation.

\n Aim. To study factors influencing platelet aggregation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Subjects and methods. The investigation enrolled 147 patients with ACS. Their blood was sampled on days 1, 3-5, and 8-12 days after the onset of ACS. All the patients received acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 300 mg on day 1, then 100 mg/day and Clopidogrel 300-600 mg on day 1, then 75-150 mg/day. Platelet aggregation was analyzed in 65 patients on day 1 after ASA intake, but prior to Clopidogrel therapy. The aggregation was induced by 5 and 20 μmol of ADP. Results. With the use of Clopidogrel 75 mg/day on day 3-5, platelet aggregation was reduced by 2.1 and 1.7 times for 5 and 20 umol of ADP, respectively, as compared to day 1 (ASA without Clopidogrel) and remained unchanged on days 8-12. Increasing the dose of Clopidogrel up to 150 mg/day potentiated its antiaggregatory effect. On day 1 (ASA without Clopidogrel), there was a direct correlation between platelet aggregation levels and mean platelet volume (MPV) (correlation coefficients (r), 0.526 (p<0.001) and 0.368 (p=0.015) for 5 and 20 umol of ADP, and between platelet aggregation levels and glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (r=0.387; p=0.002 and r=0.411 (p<0.001) for 5 and 20 pmol of ADP. No similar correlations were found on days 3-5 and 8-12 of administration of ASA and Clopidogrel. The genetic polymorphism of GP IIb-IIIa (GP IIIa Leu33Pro) was not noted to affect platelet aggregation. Examining the effects of genetic variations in cytochrome P450 isoform CYP2C19 (a Clopidogrel metabolizer) revealed the enhanced aggregation stimulated with 20 pmol of ADP in the carriers of slowly clopidogrel-metabolizing haplotype of CYP2C19 (differences were found on days 3-5 as compared to rapidly and routinely metabolizing haplotypes). Conclusion. In the patients with ACS, platelet aggregation is influenced by MPV, GP lib-Ilia levels, and CYP2C19 polymorphism and is not by GP IIb-IIIa polymorphism.\n

\n The neuroprotective activity of peptide mimetic of apolipoprotein E (apoE) Cog1410, containing the amino acid sequence of the apoE receptor-binding domain, has been investigated in transgenic Drosophila melanogaster strains expressing human APP and beta-secretase genes. Expression of double transgenes caused neuropathological processes typical for Alzheimer's disease (AD): neurodegeneration, cognitive impairments, and amyloid deposition in the brain. It was shown that Cog1410 reduces neurodegeneration in the brain of transgenic flies and improves cognitive functions (odor recognition). These data suggest that Cog1410 is a potential neuroprotector that can be used in AD treatment. © 2014 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is an independent risk factor of thrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Interactions of MPV with platelet aggregation activity and contents of glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (αIIb/β3 integrin, fibrinogen receptor) and GP Ib (von Willebrand factor recep- tor) have been investigated in this study. The study was performed in a group of healthy volunteers (n = 38) and a group of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS, n = 116). Patient's blood was collected at days 1, 3-5 and 8-12 after ACS development. All patients received acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, inhibitor of thrombox-ane A2 synthesis) as the antiaggregant therapy and most of them also received clopidogrel (ADP receptor antagonist), except 44 patients who had not taken clopidogrel at day 1 before first blood collection. Aggrega-tion of volunteers' platelets was stimulated by 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 20 μM ADP, while aggregation of patients' platelets was stimulated by 5 and 20 μM ADP. GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib content on the platelet surface was measured using 125I-labelled monoclonal antibodies. GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib genetic polymorphisms were determined in ACS patients. In healthy donors significant correlations between MPV and aggregation levels have been recognized at 1.25 μM and 2.5 μM ADP (correlation coefficient (r) values of 0.396 and 0.373, p < 0.05), while at 5 μM and 20 μM ADP these interactions did not reach the level of statistical significance (r values of 0.279 and 0.205, p > 0.05). Correlations between MPV and aggregation levels were observed at day 1 of ACS in a subgroup of patients receiving ASA but before the beginning of clopidogrel treatment (r values of 0.526, p < 0.001 and 0.368, p < 0.05 for 5 and 20 μM ADP, respectively). Correlations between these parameters were not found during combined treatment of patients with ASA and clopidogrel. Strong direct correlations between MPV and GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib contents were detected in both healthy donors and ACS patients (at all time points): the r values ranged from 0.439 to 0.647 (p ≤ 0.001 for all correlations). Genetic polymorphisms of GP IIb-IIIa (GP IIIa Leu33Pro) and GP Ib ((-5)T/C (Kozak) and Thr145Met) identified in ACS patients did not affect expression levels of corresponding glycoproteins. The data obtained indicate that increased MPV values correlate with increased platelet aggregation activity and enhanced GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib expression. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2014.\n

\n ABCA1 transporter is one of the key factors defining the level of antiatherogenic HDL in plasma. It is involved in cholesterol removal from peripheral tissues by reverse cholesterol transport. However, the influence of ABCA1 mRNA and ABCA1 protein levels in macrophages on atherosclerosis remains unexplored. Using real-time PCR, we determined the ABCA1 mRNA level in macrophages cultured for 5 days with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The ABCA1 mRNA level in macrophages from patients with arterial stenosis was increased compared to the control group, p = 0.04. Western-blot assayed ABCA1 protein content in macrophages from patients was significantly lower than in the control group, p = 0.01. Our results suggest that ABCA1 mRNA and ABCA1 protein levels in macrophages may be important factors in the development of atherosclerosis. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a loss of neurocortical and hippocampal synapses that precedes amyloidosis and neurodegeneration and closely correlates with memory impairment. Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) cause familial AD and result in increased production of amyloid-β-protein (Aβ). To gain insight into the synaptic effects of APP protein in AD patients, wild-type APP, its mutant form APP-Swedish responsible for familial AD, and human beta-secretase gene were expressed in motor neurons of Drosophila melanogaster larvae. It was found that targeted expression of APP (APP-Swedish) in Drosophila larval motor neurons caused significant morphological and functional changes in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs)-a dramatic increase in the number of synaptic boutons and altered exocytosis revealed by incorporation of the styryl dye FM4-64. Analysis of the number and distribution of mitochondria showed that motor neurons overexpressing APP (APP-Swedish) had a significant reduction of functional mitochondria in the presynaptic terminal. Significant synaptic abnormalities were observed with APP (APP-Swedish) expression, as well as for double transgenes bearing APP (APP-Swedish) and human beta-secretase (BACE), which caused secretion of amyloid beta protein (Aβ). We suggest that APP participates in regulation of synaptic functions and its elevated expression leads to synaptic pathology independently from Aβ neurotoxic effects. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Mutations in the Leucine Reach Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most frequent cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the precise physiological and pathological roles of LRRK2 are unclear, a direct link between mutant LRRK2 and programmed cell death (apoptosis) has been suggested. By using flow cytometry (PI+Annexin V(FITC)), we showed an increased level of spontaneous lymphocyte apoptosis in patients with LRRK2-associated PD compared to controls after 24 h (p < 0.016) and 48 h (p < 0.031) of incubation (5% CO 2, 37°C). We found an increased FAS mRNA level in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with LRRK2-associated PD compared to controls (p < 0.05) and to sporadic PD (sPD) (p < 0.002). A significant difference in FAS expression between patients with LRRK2-associated PD and controls remained after 3 years and was detected after 1 and 24 h during lymphocyte incubation (p < 0.03 and 0.05, respectively). Increased spontaneous lymphocyte apoptosis, along with increased FAS expression, in patients with LRRK2-associated PD suggests that LRRK2 mutations may lead to preferable activation of extrinsic apoptotic way. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n One of the earliest neuropathological symptoms of Alzheimer's disease is the loss of synapses that precedes the formation of amyloid plaques and neurodegeneration. Although most cases of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease are caused by mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene, the functions of PS1 and its role in synaptic dysfunction are not yet completely understood. In this paper, we analyzed PS1 intra- and extracellular distribution in cultures of mouse cortical embryonic neurons. We found that PS1 was concentrated on the surface of the growth cone and neurite contact sites. PS1 was also found in synapses where it was colocalized with synaptophysin. We obtained independent evidence of PS1 involvement in synaptic function by transfection of neurons with GFP-PS1cDNA. GFP was colocalized with synaptophysin in transfected cultures. GFP-immunoprecepitates from transfected neurons contained N-cadherin. This finding represents additional evidence of PS1 participation in the synapse formation. To evaluate the role of PS1 inactivation in the synaptic functions, we compare the synaptic density in neuronal cell cultures from knockout mice PS1 (-/-) and wild type mice PS1 (+/+). Our results obviously show that PS1 (-/-) cultures displayed lower number of morphological synapses compared to wild type culture PS1 (+/+). In summary, our findings show the role of PS1 in synaptic function. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

Previously, we have sequenced the coding region of the LRRK2 gene in 85 PD patients and showed the prevalence of G2019S-associated PD (G2019S-PD) among all cases of LRRK2-associated PD in Russia.

\n Mutations in the Leucine Reach Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most frequent cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Previously, we have sequenced the coding region of the LRRK2 gene in 85 PD patients and showed the prevalence of G2019S-associated PD (G2019S-PD) among all cases of LRRK2-associated PD in Russia. Screening of the most frequent LRRK2 mutations (G2019S, R1441C, R1441G) in the extended sample of PD patients (100 familial cases, 14 relatives and 230 sporadic cases) revealed two novel families with G2019S-PD in the addition to LRRK2-associated PD cases identified earlier. In summary, the frequency of LRRK2-associated PD among familial PD cases was estimated as 8%. The G2019S mutation was the most frequent (7% - in familial and 0.5% - in sporadic PD).

\n Glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (αIIbβ3-integrin) is the central receptor of platelet aggregation. Activated GP IIb-IIIa binds fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor, which forms molecular bridges between aggregating platelets. This review summarizes data on the relationship between GP IIb-IIIa expression on the platelet surface and platelet aggregating activity. GP IIb-IIIa number, measured as maximal binding of complex-specific monoclonal antibody, varied by approximately two fold in both healthy volunteers (n = 35) and patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n = 65). In healthy volunteers positive associations were observed between GP IIb-IIIa number and the level of ADP-induced aggregation when this relationship was analysed in untreated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as well as upon in vitro addition of aspirin or non-saturating concentrations of GP IIb-IIIa blockers. In the same group of volunteers almost no differences in aggregating activity were detected between donors carrying the GP IIIa Pro33 allele (n = 15) and those with the GP IIIa Leu33Leu33 genotype (n = 20). No significant relationships were revealed between platelet aggregability and variations of plasma fibrinogen concentration. Positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GP IIb-IIIa content was detected in patients with ACS within the first hour upon admission to the hospital when they had already received aspirin, but not clopidogrel. However, there were no correlations between these parameters at days 3-5 and days 8-12 (before discharge). At these time points patients were treated not only with aspirin but were saturated with clopidogrel as well. In ACS patients we also evaluated the expression of another platelet adhesive receptor, GP Ib, and found a significant positive correlation between GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib content. A strong association was also revealed between the number of both receptors and mean platelet volume. The latter observation indicated that individual variations of the number of glycoprotein molecules are mainly affected by platelet size but not the density of their expression on the platelet membrane. Possible usefulness of measuring GP IIb-IIIa content as a marker of increased platelet reactivity is discussed. © 2011 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.\n

\n Measurement of α-synuclein level in the peripheral blood was proposed as a diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease. However, the results of these studies remain contradictory, probably because the examined samples included patients with different etiology of Parkinson's disease. To verify this assumption we studied the levels of α-synuclein in peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with Parkinson's disease associated with mutations in the gene of leucine-rich kinase 2 (LRRK2). The mean α-synuclein level was signifi cantly lower in patients with LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease (N=8) than in patients with sporadic form of the disease (N=33; p<0.02) and in controls (N=18; p<0.05). On the other hand, we found no differences in the level of α-synuclein level between patients with sporadic form of the disease and controls. We hypothesize that the level of α-synuclein in the peripheral blood largely depends on the etiology of the disease and cannot be used as a universal diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.\n

\n ABCA1 transporter is known to play an important role in cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues. However, its contribution to atherosclerosis development remains obscure. Using Real Time PCR, we detected a significant reduction of ABCA1 mRNA level in leukocytes of patients with atherosclerosis compared to control. Mean ABCA1 expression levels in leukocytes from the group of patients and from the control group were 0.57 ± 0.28 and 0.93 ± 0.14 (p = 0.02). At the same time, we revealed a significant increase of ABCA1 mRNA level in macrophages of patients compared to control. Mean ABCA1 expression levels in macrophages from the group of patients and from the control group were 1.32 ± 0.10 and 0.90 ± 0.14 (p = 0.014). In summary, we suggest that the expression level of ABCA1 gene may regulate atherosclerosis development. © 2011 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

\n Ultrastructure of the surface of long hair in 77 subjects with a phenotype of childhood prelingual deafness was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The subjects were homozygous or heterozygous carriers of the 35delG mutation in the connexin 26 gene (GJB2). The presence of severe abnormalities in the marginal layer of the cuticular plate (fracture-like defects) is pathognomonic for homozygous carriers of the 35delG mutation. Ultrastructural characteristics of the hair in subjects with connexin-associated deafness signifi cantly differed from those in healthy volunteers (control group of the same age) and deaf people with nongenetic hearing impairment. Analysis of variance revealed no differences in hair thickness between deaf homozygous and heterozygous carriers of the 35delG GJB2 gene mutation and healthy volunteers. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.\n

\n The effects of content of a fibrinogen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (αIIb/β3-integrin), GP IIIa genetic polymorphism (substitution Leu33Pro), and fibrinogen concentration in blood plasma on platelet aggregation activity have been investigated in a group of healthy volunteers. In 35 examined donors the GP IIb-IIIa content on platelet surface varied from 40 to 71 ×103 per platelet. Repeated measurements revealed that the GP IIb-IIIa content coefficient of variation was 9.5%, and deviations from mean levels did not exceed 20%. The level and the rate of platelet aggregation induced by ADP (1.25-20 μM) correlated with GP IIb-IIIa number (r from 0.315 to 0.591) and were higher in the group of donors with high in comparison with low GP IIb-IIIa content (>60 and (40-50) × 10-3 per platelet, respectively). Aspirin, the inhibitor of thromboxane A2 synthesis, partially suppressed ADP-induced platelet aggregation. The level of residual aggregation in the presence of aspirin also correlated with GP IIb-IIIa content and increased in subjects with high receptor content. Parameters of ADP-induced aggregation did not differ in donors with genotypes GP IIIa Pro33(+) (Leu33Leu33, n = 20) and Pro33(+) (Leu33Pro33, n = 13, and Pro33Pro33, n = 2) genotype. GP IIb-IIIa content was also not affected by GP IIIa polymorphism. No significant correlations were found between the level and rate of platelet aggregation and fibrinogen concentration in blood plasma. The data obtained indicate that the effects of variations of GP IIb-IIIa content on platelet aggregation are higher than GP IIIa Leu33Pro polymorphism and variations of fibrinogen concentration. High GP IIb-IIIa content is associated with increased platelet aggregation activity and decreased efficacy of aggregation inhibition by aspirin. © Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. 2009.\n

\n The key role in platelet aggregation is played by the platelet ADP receptor P2Y12, which is the target for antiaggregant drugs, clopidogrel and ticlopidine. At present, only sporadic data on genetic variants of platelet ADP receptor P2Y12 are available from literature, and their association with thromboembolic and cardiovascular diseases still remains obscure. Analysis of the group of subjects with high platelet reactivity resulted in identification of two nucleotide substitutions, C18T and G36T, in the coding region of the P2Y12 gene. The frequency of the P2Y12 T18 allele was higher in control group than in the group of patients survived from myocardial infarction at the age under 45 years (39% versus 28%, respectively, P = 0.04). Moreover, in the T18 carriers, platelet aggregation activity was lower than in the carriers of the wild-type genotype (0.84 ± 0.05%/s versus 1.01 ± 0.08%/s, respectively, P = 0.03). In the group of patients with early myocardial infarctions, a tendency towards the increased frequency of T36 allele in comparison with control group (20 and 12%, respectively, P = 0.07) was observed. The rate of ADP-induced platelet aggregation in the carriers of T36 allele from the control group was somewhat higher than in the subjects with the GG36 genotype (1.31 ± 0.16%/s versus 1.12 ± 0.06%/s, respectively, P = 0.07). The nucleotide substitutions identified were in lincage disequilibrium, i.e., allele T18 conformed to allele G36. On the contrary, allele C18 conformed to allele T36. Haplotype T18G36 was found to be responsible for the decreased risk of myocardial infarction and decreased platelet reactivity. It is suggested that polymorphisms of the P2Y12 gene identified can be used for determination of the risk group for myocardial infarction in the young males. © 2009 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.\n

To investigate the frequency of LRRK2 mutations in a sample of Russian PD patients. Methods: We sequenced the complete coding region of LRRK2 in 65 patients with AdPD and in 30 patients with sPD. Furthermore, in 20 patients with AdPD and in 159 patients with sPD we screened several common LRRK2 mutations (G2019S, R1441C/G/H, I2012T and I2020T). Results: Five AdPD patients had the LRRK2 G2019S mutation (5.9%, 5/85). In addition, we discovered a novel LRRK2 variant V1613A in a family with a tremor dominant form of AdPD; this variant was not present in controls. We identified two patients with LRRK2 mutations in sPD: one with the G2019S mutation (0.5; 1/189) and another with the previously described R1441C mutation (0,5; 1/189).

\n Background and purpose: Mutations in LRRK2, encoding leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (or Dardarin), cause autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (AdPD) and are also found in sporadic PD (sPD). To investigate the frequency of LRRK2 mutations in a sample of Russian PD patients. Methods: We sequenced the complete coding region of LRRK2 in 65 patients with AdPD and in 30 patients with sPD. Furthermore, in 20 patients with AdPD and in 159 patients with sPD we screened several common LRRK2 mutations (G2019S, R1441C/G/H, I2012T and I2020T). Results: Five AdPD patients had the LRRK2 G2019S mutation (5.9%, 5/85). In addition, we discovered a novel LRRK2 variant V1613A in a family with a tremor dominant form of AdPD; this variant was not present in controls. We identified two patients with LRRK2 mutations in sPD: one with the G2019S mutation (0.5; 1/189) and another with the previously described R1441C mutation (0,5; 1/189). Conclusions: LRRK2 mutations are common amongst patients with PD in Russia. The results also show that the G2019S mutation is the most frequent. We identified one novel mutation in a functional region of LRRK2. © 2008 The Author(s).\n

\n We investigated the influence of glycoprotein (GP) IIIa Leu33Pro polymorphism, platelet GP IIb-IIIa number, and plasma fibrinogen concentration on platelet aggregation and antiaggregatory action of GP IIb-IIIa antagonists. Healthy volunteers with GP IIIa Pro33(-) (Leu33Leu33, n = 20) and Pro33(+) (Leu33Pro33, n = 13, and Pro33Pro33, n = 2) genotypes were included into the study. GP IIIa Leu33Pro substitution was associated with the increase of the level and rate of platelet microaggregate formation induced by GP IIb-IIIa activating antibody CRC54 (100, 200, 400 μg/ml) against the epitope within 1-100 residues of GP IIIa N-terminal part (p from 0.001 to 0.047). No significant differences were detected between parameters of platelet aggregation induced by ADP (1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 20 μM) in GP IIIa Pro33(+) and Pro33(-) donors. GP IIb-IIIa antagonist Monafram (F(ab')2 fragment of GP-IIb-IIIa blocking antibody CRC64) (1, 2, 3 μg/ml), but not eptifibatide (50, 100, 150 ng/ml) inhibited ADP-induced aggregation slightly less efficiently in GP IIIa Pro33(+) group (p < 0.05 at 1 and 2 μg/ml Monafram). GP IIb-IIIa number (evaluated as maximal binding of 125I-labelled antibody CRC64) varied from 40.5 to 80.8 × 103 per platelet with no significant influence of GP IIIa genotype. Consistent correlations were revealed between GP IIb-IIIa quantity and the level and rate of ADP-induced aggregation (r from 0.353 to 0.583, p from <0.001 to 0.037) as well as resistance (level of residual aggregation) to both GP IIb-IIIa antagonists (r from 0.345 to 0.602, p from <0.001 to 0.042). ADP-induced aggregation was considerably increased and efficiency of GP IIb-IIIa antagonists decreased in donors with high in comparison with low GP IIb-IIIa quantity (>60 and 40-50 × 103 per platelet respectively, p < 0.01 for most tests). No correlations were observed between all tested parameters and plasma fibrinogen concentration. Our results indicate that inter-individual variability of platelet GP IIb-IIIa number significantly affects platelet aggregation and antiaggregatory effects of GP IIb-IIIa antagonists. Contribution of this factor is higher than that of GP IIIa Leu33Pro polymorphism and variations of fibrinogen concentration. © 2007 Informa UK Ltd.\n

\n In some patients with stable and unstable angina pectoris and in some donors without clinical manifestations of cardiovascular diseases and other pathologies, spontaneous platelet aggregation was completely suppressed by glycoprotein IIb-IIIa antagonists blocking the interaction of this glycoprotein with fibrinogen. Antibodies inhibiting binding of glycoprotein Ib with von Willebrand factor had no effect on the level and rate of spontaneous platelet aggregation. In the donor group, the level of spontaneous aggregation was almost 1.5-fold higher in persons with a certain genetic polymorphism (Leu→Pro substitution in position 33 of glycoprotein IIIa). The level of spontaneous aggregation correlated with the amount of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa on the platelet surface (r=0.41). © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2007.\n

\n Among mutations associated with autosomal dominant an sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) the G2019S substitution in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is the most frequently identified. To estimate its frequency in Russia, we analyzed 208 patients with PD from the Northwestern region of Russia. Of these, 51 patients were probands from families with PD compatible with autosomal dominant inheritance. The control group represented 161 subjects without neurological disorders settled in the same region. The frequency of the G2019S mutation was greater in familial PD (2 [3.9%] of 51) than in sporadic PD) (1 [0.6%] of 157). In addition, this mutation was found in the proband's father, who also had PD, in 1 PD family, and in 1 carrier without signs of PD at age 40 in another PD family. All carriers were heterozygous for the G2019S mutation and reported the Ashkenazi Jewish origin. The mutation was not found in the control group. © 2006 Movement Disorder Society.\n

\n Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular amyloid plaques, cerebrovascular amyloid deposits, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and neuronal loss. Amyloid deposits are composed of insoluble fibers of a 39-43 amino acid peptide named the amyloid β-protein (Aβ). Neuropathological and genetic studies provide strong evidence of a key role for Aβ amyloidosis in the pathogenesis of AD. Therefore, an obvious pharmacological target for treatment of AD is the inhibition of amyloid growth and/or inhibition of amyloid function. We took an unbiased approach to generate new inhibitors of amyloid formation by screening a FliTrx™ combinatorial peptide library for Aβ binding peptides and identified four groups of peptides with different Aβ binding motifs. In addition, we designed and examined peptides mimicking the Aβ binding domain of transthyretin (TTR). Our results showed that Aβ binding peptides selected from FliTrx™ peptide library and from TTR-peptide analogs are capable of inhibiting Aβ aggregation and Aβ deposition in vitro. These properties demonstrate that binding of selected peptides to the amyloid β-protein may provide potent therapeutic compounds for the treatment AD. © 2005 Taylor & Francis.\n

\n Most transthyretin (TTR) mutations lead to TTR amyloid depositions in patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy. However, though an amyloidogenic protein itself, TTR inhibits aggregation of Alzheimer's amyloid beta protein (Aβ) in vitro and in vivo. The pathogenic relationship between two amyloidogenic processes remains unclear. To understand how TTR mutations influence the ability of TTR to inhibit Aβ amyloidosis, forty-seven recombinant TTR variants were produced and analyzed. We showed that all recombinant proteins formed tetramers and were functional in thyroxine binding. Acid denaturation at pH 3.8 resulted in aggregation and fibril formation of all TTR variants. However, only TTR G42 and TTR P55 formed fibrils at pH 6.8. Most TTR variants bound to Aβ and inhibited Aβ aggregation in vitro. TTR variants S64, A71, Q89, V107, H114 and I122 revealed decreased binding to Aβ and decreased inhibition of Aβ aggregation. Only TTR G42 and TTR P55 completely failed to bind Aβ and to inhibit Aβ aggregation. We suggest that TTR variants characterized by decreased binding to Aβ or by decreased inhibition of Aβ aggregation in vitro may contribute to Aβ amyloid formation in vivo. These TTR variants might be important targets for epidemiological studies in Alzheimer's disease.\n

\n Nucleolin is a major multifunctional nuclear phosphoprotein that is phosphorylated by Cdc2 kinase in mitosis and that participates in a number of cellular processes. The monoclonal antibody TG-3 generated against neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) found in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is highly specific for mitotic cells in culture. We here demonstrate that phosphorylation of nucleolin by Cdc2 kinase generates the TG-3 epitope. The unique pool of TG-3 immunoreactive nucleolin appears abruptly during the prophase. It is associated with chromosomes through the metaphase and it gradually disappears during separation of chromosomes and exit from mitosis. In the brain, nucleolin was localized not only to nuclei but also to neuronal cytoplasm, and it is a marker for early NFT. In patients with AD, Cdc2 phosphorylated nucleolin was present in NFT. These findings suggest that phosphorylation of nucleolin by Cdc2 kinase is a critical event and the point of convergence of two distinct pathways, mitosis and neurodegeneration. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.\n

Subcellular localization of the endogenous PS1 is essential for understanding its function, interactions with proteins, and role in Alzheimer's disease. Although numerous studies revealed predominant localization of PS1 to endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, there are conflicting reports on the localization of PSI to the cell surface. We found that endogenous PS1 is highly expressed in T lymphocytes (Jurkat cells). Using a variety of methods, we present evidence that endogenous PSI is localized to the cell surface in addition to intracellular membrane compartments.

\n Most familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease cases are caused by mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) gene. Subcellular localization of the endogenous PS1 is essential for understanding its function, interactions with proteins, and role in Alzheimer's disease. Although numerous studies revealed predominant localization of PS1 to endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, there are conflicting reports on the localization of PSI to the cell surface. We found that endogenous PS1 is highly expressed in T lymphocytes (Jurkat cells). Using a variety of methods, we present evidence that endogenous PSI is localized to the cell surface in addition to intracellular membrane compartments. Moreover, PS1 appeared in high levels on the surface of lamellipodia upon adhesion of the cells to a collagen matrix. The redistribution of PS1 in adhered cells was strikingly similar to that of the well characterized adhesion protein CD44. Cell surface PS1 formed complexes in vivo with actin-binding protein filamin (ABP-280), which is known to form bridges between cell surface receptors and cytoskeleton and mediate cell adhesion and cell motility. Taken together, our results suggest a role of PS1 in cell adhesion and/or cell-matrix interaction.\n

\n The APBα domain in the amyloid β-protein precursor (APP) promoter contains a nuclear factor binding domain with the core recognition sequence TCAGCTGAC. Proteins in nuclear extracts from brain and numerous cell lines bind to this domain and it contributes -10-30% to the basal APPα promoter activity. Included in this domain is the CANNTG motif, which is recognized by basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors. The same motif is also present in the CDEI element of the yeast centromere and in the adenovirus major late promoter (AdMLP). Here we present evidence based on thermostabilrty, relative binding affinity, electrophoretic mobility and antibody recognition that the cellular proteins that bind to the APBα and CDEI motifs are USF. However, the relative binding affinity for the motifs is different. The affinity of USF for AdMLP is ∼20-fold higher than for the APBa sequence and 5-fold higher than for the CDEI sequence. Mutational analysis suggested that the primary determinant for USF binding affinity resides within the octamer CAGCTGAC, which is composed of the E-box consensus sequence CANNTG followed by the dinucleotide AC. The human homolog of the mouse CDEI binding protein did not bind to either the CDEI sequence or APBα. © 1995 Oxford University Press.\n
