    Abstract Background: WDR13 is a member of the WD repeat protein family and is expressed in several tissues of human and mice. Previous studies in our laboratory showed that the lack of this gene in mice resulted in mild obesity, hyperinsulinemia, enhanced beta cell proliferation and protection from inflammation. However, the molecular mechanism of WDR13 action is not well understood.
    Methods: In the present study, we used AOM/DSS to induce colitis-mediated colorectal tumor after establishing expression of Wdr13 gene in colon. Further, we have used human colon cancer cell lines, HT29 and COLO205, and mouse primary embryonic fibroblast to understand the molecular mechanism of WDR13 action.
    Results: We observed that mice lacking Wdr13 gene have reduced number of tumors and are more susceptible to DSS-induced colon ulcers. We also show that WDR13 is a part of multi protein complex c-Jun/NCoR1/HDAC3 and it acts as a transcriptional activator of AP1 target genes in the presence of JNK signal. Consistent with in vitro data, we observed reduced expression of AP1 target genes in colon after AOM/DSS treatment in Wdr13 knockout mice as compared to that in wild type.
    Conclusion: Mice lacking Wdr13 gene showed reduced expression of AP1 target genes and protection from colitis-induced colorectal tumors.

    Abstract Reports on the association of TP53 polymorphisms with oral cancer are not only limited but also not specific to site and/or gender. Hence, we examined the effect of TP53 polymorphisms (EX4 215G>C, IVS3+40-41ins16 and IVS6+62G>A) on buccal mucosa cancer (BMC) and tongue cancer (TC) risk, survival of patients in relation to risk and clinical factors, gender wise (excepting for estimating hazards ratio [HR]), using Fisher's Exact Test, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox-proportional hazards models. The exonic polymorphism increased BMC and TC risk in males by 2-4-fold. The IVS3+40-41ins16 was protective against BMC and TC in both genders, whereas IVS6+62G>A protected only males against TC. Genotype combinations and haplotypes which altered the risk of cancers in males and females were different. TC males, aged 40-44 years and females, aged 55-59 years survived better than BMC patients. The IVS3+40-41ins16 polymorphism differentially impacted survival of female patients exposed to tobacco. TC patients with EX4 215GC with lymphovascular spread (LVS) and metastasis exhibited higher HR while, patients with EX4 215CC and perineural invasion (PNI) showed lower HR. Impact of the intronic variants along with clinical parameters on survival and HR estimates varied between BMC and TC. Our bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of CTCF binding site within TP53 gene. In conclusion, the polymorphisms altered risk and survival of BMC and TC in a gender specific manner, which varied with mode of tobacco and/or alcohol use. The current study, therefore underscores strong need for research, stratified by tumor site and gender. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Abstract: We investigated risk association of oral cancers (tongue and buccal mucosa cancers) with FAS (-1377G > A and FAS -670 A > G) and FASL (-844 T > C) SNPs, in males and females. A case-control study of 535 oral cancer and 525 control subjects was performed. ...

    Abstract We investigated risk association of oral cancers (tongue and buccal mucosa cancers) with FAS (-1377G > A and FAS -670 A > G) and FASL (-844 T > C) SNPs, in males and females. A case-control study of 535 oral cancer and 525 control subjects was performed. SNPs were detected in the genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood using PCR-RFLP. We report FASL -844 T > C SNPs increased risk for buccal mucosa cancer in females but not in males. On the other hand, FAS genotypes did not alter the risk of the cancers in both females and males. However, co-occurrence of FAS -1377 GA and -670 GG, FAS -1377 AA and -670 GG genotypes, and combined genotypes of FAS and FASL (FAS -1377 AA + FAS -670 GG + FASL -844 CC) alter male susceptibility towards tongue cancer. In females, combined genotypes of FAS (-1377GA and -670 AA) were found to be a risk factor of buccal mucosa cancer (OR = 3.27, CI = 1.28-8.36; P ≤ 0.01). FASL variants (GA and AA) increased tongue cancer risk in females who were tobacco users compared to non-tobacco users. In conclusion, SNPs of the FAS and FASL might alter risk of tongue and buccal mucosa cancers differentially, in a gender-dependent manner.

    Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex disorder of the eye and the third leading cause of blindness worldwide. With a multifactorial etiology, AMD results in progressive loss of central vision affecting the macular region of the eye in elderly. While the prevalence is relatively higher in the Caucasian populations, it has gradually become a major public health issue among the non-Caucasian populations (including Indians) as well due to senescence, rapidly changing demographics and life-style factors. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on large case-control cohorts have helped in mapping genes in the complement cascade that are involved in the regulation of innate immunity with AMD susceptibility. Genes involved with mitochondrial oxidative stress and extracellular matrix regulation also play a role in AMD pathogenesis. Majority of the associations observed in complement (CFH, CFB, C2 and C3) and other (ARMS2 and HTRA1) genes have been replicated in diverse populations worldwide. Gene-gene (CFH with ARMS2 and HTRA1) interactions and correlations with environmental traits (smoking and body mass index) have been established as significant covariates in AMD pathology. In this review, we have provided an overview on the underlying molecular genetic mechanisms in AMD worldwide and highlight the AMD-associated-candidate genes and their potential role in disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Background: Chronic renal transplant dysfunction is characterized by loss of renal function and tissue remodeling, including chronic inflammation and lymph vessel formation. Proteoglycans are known for their chemokine presenting capacity. We hypothesize that interruption of the lymphatic chemokine-proteoglycan interaction interferes with the lymphatic outflow of leukocytes from the renal graft and might decrease the anti-graft allo-immune response.
    Methods: In a rat renal chronic transplant dysfunction model (female Dark-Agouti to male Wistar Furth), chemokines were profiled by qRT-PCR in microdissected tubulo-interstitial tissue. Disruption of lymphatic chemokine-proteoglycan interaction was studied by (non-anticoagulant) heparin-derived polysaccharides in vitro and in renal allografts. The renal allograft function was assessed by rise in plasma creatinine and urea.
    Results: Within newly-formed lymph vessels of transplanted kidneys, numerous CD45+ leukocytes were found, mainly MHCII+, ED-1-, IDO-, HIS14-, CD103- antigen presenting cells, most likely representing a subset of dendritic cells. Treatment of transplanted rats with regular heparin and two different (non-)anticoagulant heparin derivatives revealed worsening of kidney function only in the glycol-split heparin treated group despite a two-fold reduction of tubulo-interstitial leukocytes (p<0.02). Quantitative digital image analysis however revealed increased numbers of intra-lymphatic antigen-presenting cells only in the glycol-split heparin group (p<0.01). The number of intra-lymphatic leukocytes significantly correlates with plasma creatinine and urea, and inversely with creatinine clearance.
    Conclusions: Treatment of transplanted rats with glycol-split heparin significantly increases the number of intra-lymphatic antigen presenting cells, by increased renal diffusion of lymphatic chemokines, thereby increasing the activation and recruitment of antigen presenting cells towards the lymph vessel. This effect is unwanted in the transplantation setting, but might be advantageous in e.g., dendritic cell vaccination.

    Abstract Purpose: Genes involved in the complement cascade such as complement factor B (CFB) and complement component C2 have been implicated in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) worldwide. In continuation of the analysis of CFH and LOC387715/HTRA1, this study was conducted to gain understanding of the role of CFB and C2 in an Indian AMD cohort.
    Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in CFB and C2 were screened in a cohort of clinically well-characterized patients with AMD (n = 177) and unaffected normal control subjects (n = 175). Screening was accomplished by a combination of customized genotyping followed by validation through resequencing. In addition, genotyping of two CFB variants (rs12614 and rs641153) that were in close proximity had to be resolved by resequencing. Estimates of allele and genotype frequencies, odds ratios, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, linkage disequilibrium (LD), and haplotype frequencies were also performed.
    Results: Three SNPs in C2 (rs547154 [IVS10]; P = 5.4 x 10(-11)) and CFB (rs641153 [R32Q], P = 2.2 x 10(-7) and rs2072633 [IVS17]; P = 2.0 x 10(-4)) were strongly associated with reduced risk of AMD. The rs547154 and rs641153 were in strong LD (D' = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.81-0.96) and a protective haplotype T-A was observed (OR = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.05-0.20). LD was moderate (D' = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.67-0.85) between the rs547154 and the rs2072633 SNPs, and the haplotype T-T generated with these SNPs was relatively less protective (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.18-0.44).
    Conclusions: The results of the present study provide an independent validation of the association of rs547154 (C2) and rs641153 (CFB) SNPs with reduced risk of AMD in an Indian cohort.

    Abstract Depending on the glycan structure, proteoglycans can act as coreceptors for growth factors. We hypothesized that proteoglycans and their growth factor ligands orchestrate tissue remodeling in chronic transplant dysfunction. We have previously shown perlecan to be selectively up-regulated in the glomeruli and arteries in a rat renal transplantation model. Using the same model, here we present quantitative RT-PCR profiling data on proteoglycans and growth factors from laser-microdissected glomeruli, arterial tunicae mediae, and neointimae at 12 weeks after transplantation. In glomeruli and neointimae of allografts, selective induction of the matrix heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan was observed, along with massive accumulation of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). Profiling the heparan sulfate polysaccharide side chains revealed conversion from a non-FGF2-binding heparan sulfate phenotype in control and isografted kidneys toward a FGF2-binding phenotype in allografts. In vitro experiments with perlecan-positive rat mesangial cells showed that FGF2-induced proliferation is dependent on sulfation and can be inhibited by exogenously added heparan sulfate. These findings indicate that matrix proteoglycans such as perlecan serve as functional docking platforms for FGF2 in chronic transplant dysfunction. We speculate that heparin-like glycomimetics could be a promising intervention to retard development of glomerulosclerosis and neointima formation in chronic transplant dysfunction.

    Abstract Purpose: The ARMS2/HTRA1 genes at the 10q26 locus have been associated with risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with the most significantly associated variants being A69S (rs10490924), del443ins54 (EU427539) and rs11200638. We wished to explore the association of the del443ins54 in two ethnically different populations from India and Australia.
    Methods: The del443ins54 was screened in a large cohort of ~1500 subjects from these two populations by a combination of PCR-based agarose gel electrophoresis and validated by resequencing. Statistical analysis comprised the calculations of allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies along with their p values and corresponding odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and measures of linkage disequilibrium (LD).
    Results: The del443ins54 was significantly associated with AMD in both the Indian (p=1.74 × 10(-13); OR = 2.80, 95%CI, 2.12-3.70) and Australian cohorts (p = 2.78 × 10(-30); OR = 3.15, 95%CI, 2.58-3.86). These associations were similar to those previously identified for the A69S and the rs11200638 variant in these populations that also exhibited high degrees of LD (D' of 0.87-0.99). A major risk haplotype of "T-indel-A" (p = 5.7 × 10(-16); OR = 3.16, 95%CI, 2.34-4.19 and p=6.33 × 10(-30); OR = 3.15, 95%CI, 2.57-3.85) and a protective haplotype of "G-wild type-G" (p=2.35 × 10(-11); OR = 0.39, 95%CI, 0.29-0.52 and p=1.02 × 10(-30); OR = 0.31, 95%CI, 0.25-0.38) were identified in the Indian and Australian cohorts, respectively.
    Conclusions: These data provide an independent replication of the association of del443ins54 variant in two different ethnicities, despite differences in allele and haplotype frequencies between them. High levels of LD in both populations limit further genetic dissection of this region in AMD.

    Abstract A chiral liquid chromatographic method is developed for the enantiomeric resolution of Linezolid, (S)(-)-N-[[-3-(3-fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl] methyl] acetamide, an antibiotic in bulk drugs. The enantiomers of Linezolid are resolved on a Chiralcel OJ-RH column using a mobile phase system containing 150mM di-sodium hydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 4.5)-acetonitrile (86:14, v/v). The resolution between the enantiomers is found to be two. The developed method is extensively validated and proved to be robust. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of (R)-enantiomers are found to be 94 and 375 ng/mL, respectively, for 10 microL injection volume. The percentage recovery of (R)-enantiomer is ranged from 98.9 to 102.9 in bulk drug samples of Linezolid. Linezolid sample solution and mobile phase are found to be stable for at least 48 h. The proposed method is found to be suitable and accurate for the quantitative determination of (R)-enantiomer in bulk drugs.
