Although mesenchymal stem cell- (MSC-) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are as effective as MSCs in the suppression of allergic airway inflammation, few studies have explored the molecular mechanisms of MSC-derived EVs in allergic airway diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the lung associated with the suppression of allergic airway inflammation using adipose stem cell- (ASC-) derived EVs.

One of them are the paraoxonase (PON) enzymes. The PONs genetic cluster is made up of three members (PON1, PON2, PON3) that share a structural homology, located adjacent to chromosome seven. The most studied enzyme is PON1, which is associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL), having paraoxonase, arylesterase and lactonase activities. Due to these characteristics, the enzyme PON1 has been associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Here we update the knowledge about the association of PON enzymes and their polymorphisms and the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Keywords: paraoxonases; oxidative stress; multiple sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Alzhei- mer’s disease; Parkinson’s disease 1. Introduction Over the years, biotechnological changes and advances have guaranteed the popula- tion a significant increase in life expectancy that does not necessarily involve an increase in quality of life and/or having a healthy old age.

Green1,2 1Genome Technology Branch, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 USA The success of the ongoing Human Genome Project has resulted in accelerated plans for completing the human genome sequence and the earlier-than-anticipated initiation of efforts to sequence the mouse genome. As a complement to these efforts, we are utilizing the available human sequence to refine human-mouse comparative maps and to assemble sequence-ready mouse physical maps. Here we describe how the first glimpses of genomic sequence from human chromosome 7 are directly facilitating these activities. Specifically, we are actively enhancing the available human-mouse comparative map by analyzing human chromosome 7 sequence for the presence of orthologs of mapped mouse genes. Such orthologs can then be precisely positioned relative to mapped human STSs and other genes. The chromosome 7 sequence generated to date has allowed us to more than double the number of genes that can be placed on the comparative map. The latter effort reveals that human chromosome 7 is represented by at least 20 orthologous segments of DNA in the mouse genome. A second component of our program involves systematically analyzing the evolving human chromosome 7 sequence for the presence of matching mouse genes and expressed-sequence tags (ESTs).

The catalytic activity of PON proteins is directed toward artificial organophosphates and in physiological conditions toward thiolactones and oxidized phospholipids. Consequently, PON enzymes are regarded as an effective defense against oxidative stress and, as a result, against atherosclerosis development. Additionally, both PON’s serum activity and its con- centration are influenced by several polymorphic variations in coding and noncoding DNA regions of the PON gene cluster remaining in linkage disequilibrium. Hence, the genetic polymorphism of the PON gene cluster may contribute to atherosclerotic process progression or deceleration. In this review the authors analyzed the relevance of noncoding DNA polymorphic variations of PON genes in atherosclerosis-related diseases involving coronary and peripheral artery disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, dementia and renal disease and concluded that the effect of PON gene cluster’ Citation: Wysocka, A.; Zwolak, A. polymorphism has a considerable impact on the course and outcome in these conditions.

    Anti-PON1 monoclonal antibody, clone FQS3903 (CABT-36017RH) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Product Overview Rabbit monoclonal antibody to Human PON1. Antigen Description The protein encoded by this gene is an unusual orphan receptor that contains a putative ligand- binding domain but lacks a conventional DNA-binding domain. The gene product is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family, a group of transcription factors regulated by small hydrophobic hormones, a subset of which do not have known ligands and are referred to as orphan nuclear receptors. The protein has been shown to interact with retinoid and thyroid hormone receptors, inhibiting their ligand-dependent transcriptional activation. In addition, interaction with estrogen receptors has been demonstrated, leading to inhibition of function. Studies suggest that the protein represses nuclear hormone receptor-mediated transactivation via two separate steps: competition with coactivators and the direct effects of its transcriptional repressor function. Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the N terminus of Human PON1.
