Phytohormones are central players in sensing and signaling numerous environmental conditions like drought stress. In this work, an experimental system based on severe was established hormone profiling together with gene expression of key enzymes involved abscisic acid (ABA) jasmonic (JA) biosynthesis studied roots citrumelo CPB 4475 (a commercial citrus rootstock) plants. JA concentration transiently increased after a few hours stress, returning to control levels 30 h the onset condition. A...

Abstract The mechanisms triggering metastasis in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma are unknown, hindering therapeutic options for patients with metastatic tumors (mPPGL). Herein we show by genomic profiling of a large cohort mPPGLs that high mutational load, microsatellite instability and somatic copy-number alteration burden associated ATRX / TERT alterations suitable prognostic markers. Transcriptomic analysis defines the signaling networks involved acquisition competence establishes gene...

Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. In addition to genetic factors, it has been shown that can be modulated by oestrogens and androgens via up- or down-regulation of melanin synthesis. Our aim was identify possible sex differences in phenotype as well melanoma association case-control population Spanish origin.Five hundred ninety-nine females (316 cases 283 controls) 458 males (234 224 were analysed. We genotyped 363 polymorphisms (single nucleotide...

Abstract Cytotoxic chemotherapies are typically administered without the use of precision biomarkers. As such, many patients can experience severe toxic side effects any benefit. Here, we present a set chromosomal instability (CIN) signature biomarkers that identify resistant to platinum-, taxane-, and anthracycline-based treatment using single genomic test. We leveraged real-world cohorts retrospectively emulate series biomarker clinical trials across total 740 patients. In emulations where...

Cancer-related systemic inflammation has been associated with prognosis in multiple cancer types. Conversely, local inflammation, which is characterized by dense intratumoral immune infiltrates, a favorable predictor of survival outcome. However, these associations are not well established ovarian cancer, particularly the less frequent endometrioid and clear cell endometriosis histotypes.This retrospective study included 119 patients (63 56 carcinomas). We performed comprehensive association...

The purpose of this study was to establish GENEA (Gravity Estimator Normal Everyday Activity) cut-points for discriminating between six relative-intensity activity levels in middle-aged recreational marathoners. Nighty-eight (83 males and 15 females) marathoners, aged 30–45 years, completed a cardiopulmonary exercise test running on treadmill while wearing accelerometer their non-dominant wrist. breath-by-breath V̇O2 data also collected criterion measure physical categories (sedentary,...

Abstract Biological therapies are safer and more effective against psoriasis than conventional treatments. Even so, 30–50% of psoriatic patients show an inadequate response, which is associated with individual genetic heterogeneity. Pharmacogenetic studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as possible predictive prognostic biomarkers for treatment response. The objective this study was to determine the link between SNPs clinical response biological in...

Abstract As long-distance races have substantially increased in popularity over the last few years, improvement of training programs has become a matter concern to runners, coaches and health professionals. Triaxial accelerometers been proposed as one most accurate tools evaluate physical activity during free-living conditions. In this study, eighty-eight recreational marathon aged 30–45 completed wearing GENEActiv accelerometer on their non-dominant wrist. Energy consumed by each runner was...

Telomere shortening, a well-known biomarker of aging, is complex process influenced by several intrinsic and lifestyle factors. Although habitual exercise may promote telomere length maintenance, extreme endurance has been also associated with increased oxidative stress-presumed to be the major cause shortening. Therefore, pace shortening age depend on antioxidant system efficiency, which is, in part, genetically determined. In this study, we aimed evaluate impact ultra-endurance stress...

Abstract Sunlight exposure induces signalling pathways leading to the activation of melanin synthesis and tanning response. Micro RNA s (mi s) can regulate expression genes involved in pigmentation by binding complementary sequence their 3′untranslated regions (3′ UTR s). Therefore, 3′ SNP are predicted modify ability mi target genes, resulting differential gene expression. In this study, we investigated role sun‐sensitivity traits, as well melanoma susceptibility, 38 different from...
