Evidence continues to accumulate that pesticides are the leading candidates of environmental toxins may contribute pathogenesis Parkinson’s disease. The mechanisms, however, remain largely unclear. According epidemiological studies, we selected nine representative (paraquat, rotenone, chlorpyrifos, pendimethalin, endosulfan, fenpyroximate, tebufenpyrad, trichlorphon and carbaryl) which commonly used in China detected effects on mitochondria ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) function. Our...

Baicalein, a flavonoid compound, is one of the active constituents root Scutellariae Radix. Its antitumor effects have attracted widespread attention worldwide. One its major functions to induce apoptosis tumor cells, but mechanism currently unclear. In present study, we found that baicalein increased MG-63 cell mortality in dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, activated through induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and ROS scavenger N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC),...

Abstract Background Trophectoderm (TE) cell biopsy at the blastocyst stage is currently most common method used in preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M). However, this approach may result wasting of some genetically unaffected embryos because only a proportion zygotes develop to stage. Unaffected embryos, which degenerated during blastomere-blastocyst transformation, give birth if transferred before and be great value women with low oocyte count. This study sought...

TAB2 is an activator of MAP 3 K7/TAK1, which required for the IL-1 induced signal pathway. Microdeletions encompassing have been detected in various patients with congenital heart defects (CHD), indicating that haploinsufficiency causes CHD. To date, seven variants within were reported associated CHD, only two them are nonsense mutations.Here we describe a three-generation Chinese family included five CHD valvular defects, such as mitral or tricuspid valves prolapse regurgitation, and aortic...

Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit 1 (SCN1A) gene are main monogenic cause of epilepsy. Type and location variants make a huge difference severity SCN1A disorder, ranging from mild phenotype (genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, GEFS+) to severe (developmental epileptic encephalopathies, DEEs).

Background and aims: Certain chromosomal structural variations (SVs) in biological parents can lead to recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSAs). Unequal crossing over during meiosis result the unbalanced rearrangement of gamete chromosomes such as duplication or deletion. Unfortunately, routine techniques karyotyping, fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH), microarray analysis (CMA), copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) cannot detect all types SVs.
