AB  - To remedy carotid artery stenosis and prevent stroke surgical intervention is commonly used, and the gold standard being carotid endarterectomy (CEA). During CEA cerebrovascular hemoglobin oxygen saturation decreases and when this decrease reaches critical levels it leads to cerebral hypoxia that causes neuronal damage. One of the proposed mechanism that affects changes during CEA and contribute to acute brain ischemia (ABI) is oxidative stress. The increased production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species during ABI may cause an unregulated inflammatory response and further lead to structural and functional injury of neurons. Antioxidant activity are involved in the protection against neuronal damage after cerebral ischemia. We hypothesized that neuronal injury and poor outcomes in patients undergoing CEA may be results of oxidative stress that disturbed function of antioxidant enzymes and contributed to the DNA damage in lymphocytes. © 2019 The Authors

AB  - Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of individuals worldwide and can occur relatively early or later in life. It is well known that genetic components, such as the amyloid precursor protein gene on chromosome 21, are fundamental in early-onset AD (EOAD). To date, however, only the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) gene has been proved to be a genetic risk factor for late-onset AD (LOAD). In recent years, despite the hypothesis that many additional unidentified genes are likely to play a role in AD development, it is surprising that additional gene polymorphisms associated with LOAD have failed to come to light. In this review, we examine the role of X chromosome epigenetics and, based upon GWAS studies, the PCDHX11 gene. Furthermore, we explore other genetic risk factors of AD that involve X-chromosome epigenetics. © Copyright © 2020 Bajic, Essack, Zivkovic, Stewart, Zafirovic, Bajic, Gojobori, Isenovic and Spremo-Potparevic.

AB  - The health benefits of natural products have long been recognized. Consumption of dietary compounds such as supplements provides an alternative source of natural products to those obtained from the diet. There is a growing concern regarding the possible side effects of using different food supplements simultaneously, since their possible interactions are less known. For the first time, we have tested genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of Biochaga, in combination with dihydroquercetin. No genotoxic effect on whole blood cells was observed within individual treatment of Biochaga (250 μ g/mL, 500 μ g/mL and 1000 μ g/mL) and dihydroquercetin (100 μ g/mL, 250 μ g/mL and 500 μ g/mL), nor in combination. Afterwards, antigenotoxic potency of both supplements against hydrogen peroxide- (H 2 O 2 -) induced DNA damage to whole blood cells (WBC) was assessed, using the comet assay. Biochaga and dihydroquercetin displayed a strong potential to attenuate H 2 O 2 -induced damage on DNA in cells at all tested concentrations, with a statistical significance ( p < 0.05 ), whereas Biochaga at the dose of 500 μ g/mL in combination with dihydroquercetin 500 μ g/mL was most prominent. Biochaga in combination with dihydroquercetin is able to protect genomic material from oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide in vitro .

AB  - Objective. Prooxidants and antioxidants affect the oxidative balance at the intracellular level. Oxidative stress is a consequence of the overproduction of prooxidants and is caused by disturbances in the balance of oxidative reduction processes. Non-enzymatic low molecular weight antioxidants can be introduced into the body through food. Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) is a medicinal fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine, with rich content of vitamins, various polysaccharides, and many nucleosides. The aim of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of the dietary supplement C. sinensis. Methods. The capacity of the hydroxyl radical scavenger activity, the total antioxidant activity of FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) and the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl) scavenger activity were measured. Results. C. sinensis at the tested concentrations of 0.0078-2.00 mg/mL had a pronounced ability to remove hydroxyl radicals with IC50 of 0.5 mg/mL, while at concentrations (0.0078-10.00 mg / mL) it showed a moderate reducing ability. C sinensis showed no ability to remove DPPH radicals. Conclusion. C. sinensis effectively removes hydroxyl radicals, for which the body does not have adequate antioxidant protection, so we can include it in the group of free radical scavengers.
AB  - Cilj. Prooksidansi i antioksidansi utiču na oksidativnu ravnotežu na intracelularnom nivou. Oksidativni stres je posledica prekomerne produkcije prooksidanasa i nastaje usled poremećaja u ravnoteži oksido-redukcionih procesa. Neenzimski antioksidansi male molekulske mase mogu se uneti u organizam preko hrane. Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) lekovita je gljiva koja se koristi u tradicionalnoj kineskoj medicini, ima bogat sadržaj vitamina, raznih polisaharida, kao i mnogih nukleozida. Cilj istraživanja ove studije bila je evaluacija antioksidativnog kapaciteta dijetetskog suplementa C. sinensis. Metode. Mereni su kapacitet "skevindžer" aktivnosti hidroksil radikala, ukupna antioksidativna aktivnost primenom FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) metode i DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil) - skevindžer aktivnost. Rezultati. C. sinensis je u ispitivanim koncentracijama 0,0078-2,00 mg/mL imao izraženu sposobnost uklanjanja hidroskil radikala, čija je IC50 iznosila 0,5 mg/mL, dok je u koncentracijama 0,0078-10,00 mg/mL pokazao umerenu redukcionu sposobnost. C. sinensis nije pokazao sposobnost uklanjanja DPPH radikala. Zaključak. C. sinensis efikasno neutrališe hidroksilne radikale, za koje organizam nema adekvatnu antioksidativnu zaštitu pa ga možemo uvrstiti u grupu potencijalnih protektora od slobodnih radikala.

AB  - The acute toxicity of surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with caffeic acid (CA) was compared with those of its separate constituents (free CA and bare TiO2 NPs) upon their oral administration in laboratory mice. Prior to in vivo experiments, the interfacial charge transfer (ICT) complex between surface Ti atoms and CA is thoroughly characterized. Composition and stability constants of ICT complex were determined using Job's method and Banesi-Hildebrand analysis, respectively. The experimental data were supported with quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Acute toxicity signs, including biochemical alterations and extensive histopathological changes in the liver tissue of mice were detected 14 days after oral administration of bare TiO2 NPs. However, the clinical signs of toxicity, the fractional contribution of organs, biochemical parameters of liver and kidney function, and histopathological changes in liver upon treatment with surface-modified TiO2 NPs with CA were not observed. Also, the genotoxic potential of the ICT complex and its constituents were evaluated in leukocytes of whole blood cells in vivo by comet assay. Both, bare and surface-modified TiO2 NPs did not display DNA damaging effect in time frame of 24 h upon their oral administration in mice.

AB  - Manuka honey has been widely researched regarding its biological properties, in particular its antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities. We tested the genotoxic and genoprotective properties of Manuka honey, ranging from 25–1000 μg/mL, by performing an in vitro comet assay after exposure to human whole blood. No genotoxic effect on whole blood cells was observed within the tested concentration range (p = 0.154). Then, the antigenotoxic potency of Manuka honey against oxidative DNA damage to whole blood cells was assessed. Prior to Manuka honey treatment a modest decrease of H2O2-induced DNA damage was detected in cells, with no statistical significance (p = 0.087). Post-treatment, Manuka honey displayed a stronger potential to attenuate damaged cells at all tested concentrations, with a statistical significant difference (p < 0.001), where concentrations of 25 and 100 μg/mL were most efficient. Manuka honey exhibited a marked potential to protect DNA of whole blood cells from oxidative damage induced by hydrogen peroxide in vitro.

AB  - The antigenotoxic and antioxidative properties of surface-modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with ascorbic acid (AA) were compared with those of constituents (free AA and bare TiO2 NPs). Colloids consisting of the TiO2 NPs with anatase crystal structure were prepared by acidic hydrolysis of TiCl4. The synthesized TiO2 NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The charge transfer (CT) complex formation between surface Ti atoms and AA is indicated by immediate appearance of red color. Composition and stability constants of CT complex were determined using Jobs method and Banesi-Hildebrand analysis, respectively. The surface structure of CT complex was determined from infra-red spectra of free and bound AA to the surface Ti atoms. The experimental data were supported with quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The antigenotoxic potential of CT complex was evaluated in leukocytes of whole blood cells in vitro by comet assay method. For evaluation of antioxidant properties, total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) were determined in human serum pool in vitro. The presented results indicate that bare TiO2 NPs have more pronounced antigenotoxic effects in comparison with either surface-modified TiO2 NPs with AA or free AA. No significant differences between the antigenotoxic and antioxidative properties of free and bound AA on the TiO2 NPs were noticed in the investigated concentration range. It seems that surface-modified TiO2 NPs with AA and/or similar compounds can be used to maintain its beneficial activities. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based materials are widely investigated for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Despite their popularity the genotoxic potential of PLGA has not been investigated. In this study, the comet assay, a sensitive assay for DNA damage, was used to evaluate potential genotoxicity in model cell types exposed to PLGA microspheres. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cells were exposed to PLGA microspheres (0.4-6mg/mL) and DNA damage assessed at 24h, 4days, and 7days. DNA damage was not identified after 24h. However, after 4 and 7 days of exposure to 2 and 6mg/mL of PLGA microspheres a significant elevation of DNA damage in both cell types was observed. The PLGA microspheres did not exhibit any cytotoxic effects on the cells under the conditions tested. Our results suggest that PLGA may have a genotoxic effect on cells. A broader investigation of the PLGA genotoxic profile in biological systems is needed. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 105A: 284-291, 2017.

AB  - The ability of Agaricus blazei mushroom in its dried and powdered mycelial form was evaluated for its antigenotoxic properties for the first time. Antigenotoxic effects in human peripheral blood cells against H2O2-induced DNA damage were examined in pretreatment and posttreatment protocol by comet assay. The results showed better antigenotoxic properties of Agaricus blazei on the interventional level, respectively, after treatment. Agaricus blazei in concentration of 250 mu g/mL after treatment was most efficient in regard to its action against DNA damage. The evaluation of repair kinetics showed decrease in H2O2 induced DNA damage 15min after the application of A. blazei, reaching the maximum potency after 30 min. Analysis of antioxidant properties of Agaricus blazei revealed strong center dot OH scavenging properties and moderate reducing power, while its DPPH scavenging ability was weak. In regard to our findings, we can conclude that our preliminary results demonstrated antigenotoxic properties of Agaricus blazei and its strong center dot OH scavenging ability. Mechanisms underlying its properties should be further evaluated in in vivo studies.

AB  - The CaNa(2)EDTA chelation therapy is often practiced with antioxidant supplementation. Dry olive leaf extract (DOLE) is natural product with antioxidant and DNA protective properties. The effects of DOLE on the levels of DNA damage were investigated ex vivo in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of 19 workers occupationally exposed to lead (Pb), before and after CaNa(2)EDTA chelation therapy. POLE demonstrated pronounced radical scavenging activity in concentrations GT = 1 mg/mL, and showed no genotoxicity per se, in concentrations 0.125-1 mg/mL. The level of DNA damage in PBLs of workers before chelation therapy was elevated (24.21 +/- 14.26) compared to controls (6.0 +/- 3.37). The incubation of PBLs before chelation therapy with selected concentration of DOLE lead to a severe increase of DNA damage (64.03 +/- 20.96), exhibiting prooxidant rather than antioxidant effect. After the five-day CaNa2EDTA chelation regimen, DNA damage in PBLs of workers decreased (8.26 +/- 4.62) significantly compared to baseline. Treatment of PBLs with DOLE after chelation, again produced high level of damage (41.82 +/- 23.17) and the acute prooxidant effects of DOLE remained, but, DNA damage was less severe than before chelation. The DOLE exhibits prooxidant effect in presence of Pb in lymphocytes of exposed workers, and its effect is less pronounced following the removal of Pb after standard chelation therapy.

AB  - The essential oils of genus Seseli are known for their beneficial biological activities and could present novel targets in the development of safe and effective preparations of plant products. The objective was to test the essential oils of different parts of Seseli rigidum from two natural habitats for potential genotoxic and antigenotoxic activities against H2O2-induced DNA damage in human whole blood cells in vitro, by the comet assay. The essential oil analysis showed a high falcarinol content in oil from the root, while oils of the fruit and aerial parts contained a-pinene as the main compound. Genotoxicity was not detected at any of the concentrations of the essential oils from the three parts of the plant from localities I and II. Although the antioxidant activity (established by the FRAP and DPPH tests) of the investigated oils was low, all oils demonstrated a strong antigenotoxic effect against H2O2-induced damage post-treatment, when the oils were applied after the oxidant. Based on the lack of pretreatment activity and the post-treatment reduction in DNA damage, the antigenotoxic effect of S. rigidum essential oils was probably based on the stimulation of DNA repair mechanisms. Environmental conditions did not affect the antigenotoxic properties of the oils.

abstract = "The essential oils of genus Seseli are known for their beneficial biological activities and could present novel targets in the development of safe and effective preparations of plant products. The objective was to test the essential oils of different parts of Seseli rigidum from two natural habitats for potential genotoxic and antigenotoxic activities against H2O2-induced DNA damage in human whole blood cells in vitro, by the comet assay. The essential oil analysis showed a high falcarinol content in oil from the root, while oils of the fruit and aerial parts contained a-pinene as the main compound. Genotoxicity was not detected at any of the concentrations of the essential oils from the three parts of the plant from localities I and II. Although the antioxidant activity (established by the FRAP and DPPH tests) of the investigated oils was low, all oils demonstrated a strong antigenotoxic effect against H2O2-induced damage post-treatment, when the oils were applied after the oxidant. Based on the lack of pretreatment activity and the post-treatment reduction in DNA damage, the antigenotoxic effect of S. rigidum essential oils was probably based on the stimulation of DNA repair mechanisms. Environmental conditions did not affect the antigenotoxic properties of the oils. In conclusion, our results revealed the antigenotoxic properties of S. rigidum essential oils and appropriate and safe doses with beneficial effects under the described conditions.",

AB  - The effects of co-administration of dry olive leaf extract (DOLE) with standard methotrexate (MTX) therapy on the parameters of cell damage and inflammation in patients with early and long-term rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were evaluated at baseline, 3 and 6weeks. Patients were assigned to groups: the early phase RA group on MTX monotherapy (E MTX), and the two RA groups that received co-treatment with DOLE and MTX: early (E MTX+DOLE) and long-term phase patients (L-t MTX+ DOLE). Baseline values indicated increased parameters of cell damage and disruption of redox balance in all groups. After three weeks the E MTX+DOLE group maintained high catalase activity, exhibited decrease of lipid peroxidation and protein damage indicatorsthiols and nitrites, while levels of DNA damage and pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 were significantly reduced. In E MTX group catalase activity remained unaltered while significant lipid peroxidation and DNA damage reductions were seen only after six weeks. L-t MTX+DOLE group showed only modest alterations of cell damage parameters during six weeks. Combined administration of DOLE with MTX contributes to faster reduction of cell damage, restores oxidative balance and improves interleukin-6 suppression during high disease activity in early phase RA, but not in long term patients.

AB  - Context Cordyceps sinensis (C sinensis) is a well-known, traditional, Chinese medicinal mushroom, valued for its beneficial properties for human health. C sinensis has been reported to have immunomodulatory, anticancer, antiaging, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Despite potential medicinal benefits, no previously published reports are available about the genotoxicity or antigenotoxicity of C sinensis, as detected by comet assay. Objective The objective of the study was to evaluate both the genotoxic and antigenotoxic potential of an extract of C sinensis (CS extract) in human peripheral blood cells. Design The research team designed a pilot study. Setting The study was conducted at the Center for Biological Research, University of Belgrade, in Belgrade, Serbia. Participants Participants were 6 healthy individuals (2 males and 4 females), between the ages of 20 and 45 y, recruited on a voluntary basis, who provided heparinized, peripheral blood samples. Intervention Four concentrations of the CS extract125 mu g/mL, 250 mu g/mL, 500 mu g/mL, and 1000 mu g/mL-were used in the treatment of tested blood cells from the blood samples. Three independent procedures were performed: (1) a genotoxicity assessment, (2) an antigenotoxicity assessment for pretreatment of human cells with the CS extract prior to their exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (ie, an evaluation of the benefits of the CS extract as a preventive agent); and (3) posttreatment of human cells with the CS extract after their exposure to H2O2 (ie, an evaluation of the benefits of the CS extract as an interventional agent). Outcome Measures Cells were graded by eye inspection into 5 classes, depending on the extent of DNA damage, representing: (1) class A-undamaged cells with no tail ( LT 5% damaged DNA); (2) class B-low-level damage (5%-20%); (3) class C-medium-level damage (20%-40%); (4) class D-high-level damage (40%-95%), and (5) class E-total destruction ( GT 95%). Results The CS extract proved to be nongenotoxic because no induced DNA damage was detected at all tested concentrations. For the antigenotoxicity assessment of the pretreatment with the CS extract, only the 1000-mu g/mL concentration showed a significant decrease in the number of cells exhibiting H2O2-induced DNA damage. For the posttreatment, the CS extract exhibited antigenotoxic potential by attenuating H2O2-induced DNA damage at all concentrations tested. The evaluation of repair kinetics showed a decrease in DNA-damaged cells 15 min after the application of the CS extract, reaching a maximum potency after 45 min. Conclusions The results indicated that C sinensis can be used as a postapplicative agent that counteracts the effect of oxidative stress. The resulting reduction in DNA damage might be related to its scavenging properties and stimulation of DNA repair.

AB  - Ganoderma lucidum is traditionally used in Eastern medicine to preserve vitality, promote longevity, and treat disease. It possesses immunomodulatory, antitumor, antimicrobial, and antiaging activities, among others, but one of the most important is its antioxidant property, which is the basis for other effects, because free radicals trigger many diseases. The substrate commonly used for commercial cultivation of G. lucidum is not environmenwas to analyze the effect of substrate composition on the bioactivity of G. lucidum basidiocarps. G. lucidum was cultivated on 2 different substrates: (1) a mixture of wheat straw, grapevine branches, and wheat bran, and (2) wheat straw. Commercial fruiting bodies, cultivated on oak sawdust, were used as the control. 1,1- diphenyl- 2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) The comet test was performed to detect the degree of DNA damage in the cells that were exposed to G. lucidum extracts before and after the effect of oxidants. Higher antioxidative potential was observed for the extract of G. lucidum basidiocarps cultivated on wheat straw compared with that from the mixed substrate and especially with commercial ones. The alternatively cultivated basidiocarps also showed stronger antigenotoxic potential compared with commercial ones. The study showed that fruiting bodies produced on wheat straw, one of the most accessible and cheapest crop residues, are more potent antioxidant and antigenotoxic agents than commercially cultivated ones.

AB  - Alzheimers disease (AD) is a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and represents the most common form of dementia. The number of people affected by AD is estimated to be doubled by the year of 2050, and more than 100 million people worldwide will be affected by this disease. Still, there is no reliable diagnostic test which would indicate pre-symptomatic conditions or an increased risk of developing AD. The only drugs approved by the FDA belong to the cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) group, such as donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine and memantine that belongs to a class of drugs named receptor NMDA antagonists. Most mainstream pharmacotherapeutic approaches act by slowing the progression of the condition rather than to treat or prevent the cause of AD. In this review we are presenting literature data from recent research related to new avenues in the classical approach to prevention and treatment of AD.

AB  - The aim of this study was to determine oxidative alterations leading to cellular dysfunctions in Pb-exposed subjects by evaluating damage to all major classes of biomolecules in the cell, lipid peroxidation, protein and DNA damage and determine relationships between parameters of Pb toxicity and specific biomarkers of oxidative damage.Analysis was conducted of smelter workers with high blood Pb and urine aminolevulinic acid levels and slightly elevated values of coproporphyrin and erythrocyte protoporphyrin IX. Significant decreases of thiol groups and increases in carbonyl groups as protein degradation end products, and of nitrite were detected.

AB  - Chromosomal alterations as a sign of genetic instability are a feature of Alzheimers disease (AD). Assessment of the genetic instability of non-neuronal cells of AD patients may provide a method to diagnose or monitor prognosis of the disease. Considering the importance of X chromosome alterations in the possible etiology of AD females, we used fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for the centromere region of the X chromosome to determine aneuploidy, for a possible correlation with premature centromere division (PCD, X) in lymphocytes of AD females and age-matched controls. In AD patients, our results showed a marked and significant increase in the frequency of the X chromosome aneuploidy comparing with age matched controls (p LT 0.001). Also, a significant difference was detected in the PCD, X frequency between AD females when compared with age matched controls (p LT 0.001). In addition, a strong (R2=0.97, n=20) and significant (p LT 0.001) correlation was found between the frequency of aneuploidy and PCD, X in the AD group. Our results support the view that AD is a generalized systematic disease where PCD is to be considered as a stable sign of disease leading to aneuploidy.

AB  - In breast carcinoma, disruption of the p53 pathway is one of the most common genetic alterations. The observation that the p53 can express multiple protein isoforms adds a novel level of complexity to the outcome of p53 mutations. p53 expression was analysed by Western immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies DO-7, Pab240, and polyclonal antiserum CM-1. The more frequently p53-positive nuclear staining has been found in the invasive breast tumors. One of the most intriguing findings is that mutant p53 appears as discrete dot-shaped regions within the nucleus of breast cancer cells. In many malignant cells, the nucleolar sequestration of p53 is evident. These observations support the view that the nucleolus is involved directly in the mediation of p53 function or indirectly by the control of the localization of p53 interplayers. p53 expressed in the nuclear fraction of breast cancer cells revealed a wide spectrum of isoforms. p53 isoforms Lambda Np53 (47 kDa) and Lambda 133p53 beta (35 kDa), known as dominant-negative repressors of p53 function, were detected as the most predominant variants in nuclei of invasive breast carcinoma cells. The isoforms expressed also varied between individual tumors, indicating potential roles of these p53 variants in human breast cancer.

AB  - While Alzheimer disease (AD) is considered a neurodegenerative disorder, the importance of chromosome instability in non-neuronal cells is equally important, not only for shedding light on the etiology of the disease, but also for possible diagnostic purposes and monitoring the progress of the disease. Here, we evaluated the frequency of DNA damage and expression of premature centromere division (PCD) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of sporadic AD patients, age-matched and young controls. The results show that in male patients with AD, the frequencies of PCD and DNA damage were significantly greater (88%, p LT 0.01 and 38%, p LT 0.05, respectively) than in age-matched control group. AD females had significantly increased frequency of PCD (134%, p LT 0.01) as well as a higher frequency of DNA damage (37%, p LT 0.05). Ageing per se, both in males and females, shows significant increase of percentages of PCD (2.3 times, p LT 0.01 and 2.8 times, p LT 0.01, respectively) and DNA damage (63%, p LT 0.01 and 50%, p LT 0.01, respectively) comparing with young controls. In addition, a strong (R-2 = 0.873, n = 6) and significant (p LT 0.01) correlation between the frequencies of PCD and DNA damage was found in all examined groups. We may conclude that the increases in both parameters evaluated in this study are not only associated with normal ageing processes, but are markedly and significantly intensified in AD pathogenesis. Thus, our data support the view that AD is a generalized systemic disease, at least as for the increased DNA damage and PCD incidence in peripheral blood cells. copyright (C) 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel

AB  - Post-mitotic neurons are typically terminally differentiated and in a quiescent status. However, in Alzheimer disease (AD), many neurons display ectopic re-expression of cell cycle-related proteins. Cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11) mRNA produces a 110-kDa protein (CDK11(p110)) throughout the cell cycle, a 58-kDa protein (CDK11(p58)) that is specifically translated from an internal ribosome entry site and expressed only in the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle, and a 46-kDa protein (CDK11(p46)) that is considered to be apoptosis specific. CDK11 is required for sister chromatid cohesion and the completion of mitosis. In this study, we found that the expression patterns of CDK11 vary such that cytoplasmic CDK11 is increased in AD cellular processes, compared to a pronounced nuclear expression pattern in most controls. We also investigated the effect of amyloid precursor protein (APP) on CDK11 expression in vitro by using M17 cells overexpressing wild-type APP and APP Swedish mutant phenotype and found increased CDK11 expression compared to empty vector. In addition, amyloid-beta(25-35) resulted in increased CDK11 in M17 cells. These data suggest that CDK11 may play a vital role in cell cycle re-entry in AD neurons in an APP-dependent manner, thus presenting an intriguing novel function of the APP signaling pathway in AD.

AB  - Premature centromere division (PCD) can be viewed as a manifestation of chromosome instability. In order to evaluate the ability of Paclitaxel (Ptx) and Cycloheximide (Cy) to induce PCD we used a cytokinesis block micronucleus assay (CBMN), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the chromosome aberration (CA) assay in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Results showed that Ptx can induce PCD alone or in combination with Cy. These findings call us to pay more attention to PCD as a parameter of genotoxicity in the pre-clinical research of mono- and/or combinational therapies for cancer treatment.
