Toward Efficient Analysis of Mutations in Single Cells from Ethanol-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded, and Immunohistochemically Stained Tissues
摘要:
only a few studies have demonstrated successful molecular analysis after whole genome amplification using single cells dissected from paraffin-embedded tissues. The results in these studies were limited by low-amplification efficiency and high rates of allele dropout. In the present study, the amplification rate using a thoroughly modified primer extension and preamplification-PCR protocol was improved significantly for single cells microdissected from paraffin-embedded and immunohistochemically stained tissues. Tissue fixation with ethanol (85%) and the addition of 0.2 mmol/L EDTA helped to achieve an amplification rate between 67% (segments 200 to 400 bp) and 72% (segments <200 bp). Normal tissue sections were immunohistochemically double stained for overabundance of p53 protein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Microdissection of single cells was performed with a manual micromanipulator equipped with a Tungsten needle. Sequence analysis of the TP53 gene was performed after improved primer extension preamplification-PCR and multiplex PCR from single microdissected cells. The rate of allele dropout was at least 68%. These technical advances facilitate routine mutation analysis using a single cell or a few cells microdissected from routinely processed paraffin-embedded normal and tumor tissues. Allele dropout still represents a serious problem in single-cell mutation analysis, especially in samples with limited template DNA and prone to DNA damage.

straightforward, mild and cost-efficient synthesis of various arylamides in water was accomplished using versatile benzotriazole chemistry. Acylation of various amines was achieved in water at room temperature as well as undermicrowaveirradiation. The developed protocol unfolds the synthesis of amino acid aryl amides, drug conjugates and benzimidazoles. The environmentally friendly synthesis, short reaction

neutral amino acid exhibiting weak anticonvulsant activities in vivo. Recently, studies have demonstrated that N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycine (1) antagonized seizures superior to glycine in addition to activity in the maximal electroshock (MES) test, a convulsive model where glycine is inactive. In the present study a series of ester and amide derivatives of 1 as well as esters of N-(3-phenylpropanoyl)glycine
甘氨酸是一种小的中性氨基酸,在体内表现出弱的抗惊厥活性。最近,研究表明,在最大电击(MES)测试(一种甘氨酸失活的惊厥模型)中,N-(苄氧羰基)甘氨酸(1)对抗癫痫发作的作用优于甘氨酸。在本研究中,已经制备了一系列的1的酯和酰胺衍生物以及N-(3-苯基丙酰基)甘氨酸的酯(5)。在MES测试以及几种化学诱导的癫痫发作模型中对化合物进行了评估。在所研究的衍生物中,N-(苄氧基羰基)甘氨酸苄酰胺(16)是最有效的化合物,在MES试验中表现出与药物苯妥英相当的抗惊厥活性。腹腔注射后30分钟和3小时测定的中位有效剂量(ED50)为4.8和11.6 mg / kg 行政管理。化合物16还可以在不同的化学诱导模型(例如士的宁,3-巯基丙酸和戊四唑测试)中有效抑制强直性癫痫发作。此外,在150 mg / kg的剂量下,在转子试验中,此处研究的化合物未显示急性神经毒性。结论是,N-(苄氧基羰基)甘氨酸酰胺,特别是16种,是有效的抗惊厥药。
