    Abstract Analytical method for the monitoring of residues of multiclass pesticides (variable chemical structure and chromatographic behavior) in honey has been optimized and in-house validated in the present study. Chemical confirmation of 35 selected pesticides (in-hive-treated pesticides and pesticides applied for agricultural practices in vicinity of apiaries) has been successfully achieved with the acetonitrile extraction/partitioning and cleanup by modified US EPA solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocol following analysis on the GC/MS DRS Pesticide Screener. The applied extraction procedure has given acceptable recoveries with an associated precision (RSD) for selected pesticides within the range as suggested by SANTE at MQL of 10 μg kg

    Abstract Analytical method for the monitoring of residues of multiclass pesticides (variable chemical structure and chromatographic behavior) in honey has been optimized and in-house validated in the present study. Chemical confirmation of 35 selected pesticides (in-hive-treated pesticides and pesticides applied for agricultural practices in vicinity of apiaries) has been successfully achieved with the acetonitrile extraction/partitioning and cleanup by modified US EPA solid-phase extraction (SPE) protocol following analysis on the GC/MS DRS Pesticide Screener. The applied extraction procedure has given acceptable recoveries with an associated precision (RSD) for selected pesticides within the range as suggested by SANTE at MQL of 10 μg kg⁻¹. Potential matrix effect for selected analytes was calculated by using honey from five different floral sources. The optimized method was used to determine levels of pesticide residues in honey samples randomly collected from 26 different apiaries in Pakistan. Residues of nine selected pesticide (dichlorvos, mevinphos, ethalfluralin, trifluralin, lindane, chlorpyrifos–methyl, dieldrin, profenofos, 4,4-DDE) were frequently detected in the ranges of 3–48.8 μg kg⁻¹ in 26.9% of analyzed samples (n = 26) and 15.3% of the studied samples exceeded maximum residue limits (MRLs). In-hive-treated acaricides, i.e., coumaphos, tau-fluvalinate, and malathion, were not detected in any of the analyzed honey samples.

    Abstract Background: Epigenetic changes are being increasingly recognized as a prominent feature of cancer. This occurs not only at individual genes, but also over larger chromosomal domains. To investigate this, we set out to identify large chromosomal domains of epigenetic dysregulation in breast cancers.
    Results: We identify large regions of coordinate down-regulation of gene expression, and other regions of coordinate activation, in breast cancers and show that these regions are linked to tumor subtype. In particular we show that a group of coordinately regulated regions are expressed in luminal, estrogen-receptor positive breast tumors and cell lines. For one of these regions of coordinate gene activation, we show that regional epigenetic regulation is accompanied by visible unfolding of large-scale chromatin structure and a repositioning of the region within the nucleus. In MCF7 cells, we show that this depends on the presence of estrogen.
    Conclusions: Our data suggest that the liganded estrogen receptor is linked to long-range changes in higher-order chromatin organization and epigenetic dysregulation in cancer. This may suggest that as well as drugs targeting histone modifications, it will be valuable to investigate the inhibition of protein complexes involved in chromatin folding in cancer cells.

    Abstract The spatial organization of the genome in the nucleus plays a role in the regulation of gene expression. Whether co-regulated genes are subject to coordinated repositioning to a shared nuclear space is a matter of considerable interest and debate. We investigated the nuclear organization of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) target genes in human breast epithelial and cancer cell lines, before and after transcriptional activation induced with estradiol. We find that, contrary to another report, the ERalpha target genes TFF1 and GREB1 are distributed in the nucleoplasm with no particular relationship to each other. The nuclear separation between these genes, as well as between the ERalpha target genes PGR and CTSD, was unchanged by hormone addition and transcriptional activation with no evidence for co-localization between alleles. Similarly, while the volume occupied by the chromosomes increased, the relative nuclear position of the respective chromosome territories was unaffected by hormone addition. Our results demonstrate that estradiol-induced ERalpha target genes are not required to co-localize in the nucleus.

    Abstract The astonishing development of broad genomics and proteomics tools have catalyzed a new era in both therapeutic interventions and nutrition in prostate cancer. The terms pharmacogenomics and nutrigenomics have been derived out of their genetic forbears as large-scale genomics technologies have been established in the last decade. It is unquestionable that rationale of both disciplines is to individualize or personalize medicine and food and nutrition, and eventually health, by tailoring the drug or the food to the individual genotype. The purpose of this review is to significantly inspect results from current research concerning the mechanisms of action of phytonutrients and potential effects on prostate cancer. Substantial emerging data supports the synergistic adiministration of nutraceuticals with TRAIL in prostate cancer progression to circumvent TRAIL refractoriness. Nonetheless, developing novel scientific methods for discovery, validation, characterization and standardization of these multicomponent phyto-therapeutics is vital to their recognition into mainstream medicine. The key to interpret a personalized response is a greater comprehension of nutrigenomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
