AB  - The complete understanding of the genomic contribution to complex traits, diseases, and response to treatments, as well as genomic medicine application to the well-being of all humans will be achieved through the global variome that encompasses fine-scale genetic diversity. Despite significant efforts in recent years, uneven representation still characterizes genomic resources and among the underrepresented European populations are the Western Balkans including the Serbian population. Our research addresses this gap and presents the first ever targeted sequencing dataset of variants in clinically relevant genes. By measuring population differentiation and applying the Principal Component and Admixture analysis we demonstrated that the Serbian population differs little from other European populations, yet we identified several novel and more frequent variants that appear as its unique genetic determinants. We explored thoroughly the functional impact of frequent variants and its correlation with the health burden of the population of Serbia based on a sample of 144 individuals. Our variants catalogue improves the understanding of genetics of modern Serbia, contributes to research on ancestry, and aids in improvements of well-being and health equity. In addition, this resource may also be applicable in neighboring regions and valuable in worldwide functional analyses of genetic variants in individuals of European descent.

AB  - Extracellular purine nucleotides, such as adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), are important modulators of hippocampal function and plasticity. In the extracellular space, ATP is inherently short-lived molecule, which undergoes rapid enzymatic degradation to adenosine by ectonucleotidases. Given that ectonucleotidases have distinct and overlapping distribution in the hippocampus, and as ovarian hormones participate in a formation, maturation, and a refinement of synaptic contacts, both during development and in adulthood, the present chapter summarizes known data about spatial distribution of selected ecto-enzymes and estradiol-induced effects on ectonucleotidases in the rat hippocampus.

AB  - Mitochondria play a significant role in pathogenesis of clinical depression and their function can be impaired by inflammation and alterations in hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Sexual context is also a relevant factor in the incidence of mood disorders, and could have a strong influence during an immune challenge. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether the effects of seven-day lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment on glucocorticoid receptor (GR) could be associated with apoptosis and alterations in energy metabolism in hippocampus of female and male Wistar rats with depressive-like behavior. To that end, we measured the mitochondrial levels of GR and its phosphoisoforms pGR232 and pGR246 in hippocampus of female and male rats, as well as the mRNA levels of two GR-regulated mitochondrial genes, cyclooxygenase -1 and -3 (COX-1 and -3). We also measured alterations in the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways in mitochondria and cytosol of hippocampus of these animals, and the levels of cleaved cytosolic poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase-1 (PARP-1) protein. We discovered that even though LPS treatment induced behavioral alterations and affected corticosterone levels and apoptosis in a similar manner in both sexes, it affected mitochondrial GR differently in males and females. Namely, the treatment decreased levels of mitochondrial GR and pGR232/pGR246 ratio only in females, and these alterations were followed by decreased mRNA levels of COX-1 and COX-3 only in this sex. The alterations in COX-1 and COX-3 mRNA levels could indicate impaired oxidative metabolism and diminished mitochondrial function in hippocampus of this sex. © 2020 IBRO
