  • The Role of Genetic Variation in Predisposition to Alcohol-Related Chronic Pancreatitis
    The Role of Genetic Variation in Predisposition to Alcohol-related Chronic Pancreatitis Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Marianne Lucy Johnstone April 2015 The Role of Genetic Variation in Predisposition to Alcohol-related Chronic Pancreatitis 2015 Abstract Background Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a disease of fibrosis of the pancreas for which alcohol is the main causative agent. However, only a small proportion of alcoholics develop chronic pancreatitis. Genetic polymorphism may affect pancreatitis risk. Aim To determine the factors required to classify a chronic pancreatic population and identify genetic variations that may explain why only some alcoholics develop chronic pancreatitis. Methods The most appropriate method of diagnosing CP was assessed using a systematic review. Genetics of different populations of alcohol-related chronic pancreatitics (ACP) were explored using four different techniques: genome-wide association study (GWAS); custom arrays; PCR of variable nucleotide tandem repeats (VNTR) and next generation sequencing (NGS) of selected genes. Results EUS and sMR were identified as giving the overall best sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing CP. GWAS revealed two associations with CP (identified and replicated) at PRSS1-PRSS2_rs10273639 (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.68-0.79) and X-linked CLDN2_rs12688220 (OR 1.39, 1.28-1.49) and the association was more pronounced in the ACP group (OR 0.56, 0.48-0.64)and OR 2.11, 1.84-2.42). The previously identified VNTR in CEL was shown to have a lower frequency of the normal repeat in ACP than alcoholic liver disease (ALD; OR 0.61, 0.41-0.93).

INTRODUCTION The enzyme steroid 5α reductase (S5αR) catalyzes the conversion of Δ4-3-ketosteroid precursors - such as testosterone, progesterone and androstenedione - into their 5α- reduced metabolites. Although the current nomenclature assigns five enzymes to the S5αR family, only the types 1 and 2 appear to play an important role in steroidogenesis, mediating an overlapping set of reactions, albeit with distinct chemical characteristics and anatomical distribution. The discovery that the 5α-reduced metabolite of testosterone, 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), is the most potent androgen and stimulates prostatic growth led to the development of S5αR inhibitors with high efficacy and tolerability.

  • Uptake, Accumulation and Metabolism of Chemicals of Emerging Concern in Vegetables
    UPTAKE, ACCUMULATION AND METABOLISM OF CHEMICALS OF EMERGING CONCERN IN VEGETABLES By YA-HUI CHUANG A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Crop and Soil Sciences – Environmental Toxicology – Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT UPTAKE, ACCUMULATION AND METABOLISM OF CHEMICALS OF EMERGING CONCERN IN VEGETABLES By YA-HUI CHUANG Pharmaceuticals have been most commonly used as medicine to treat human and animal diseases, and as animal feed supplements to promote growth. These applications have rendered the ubiquitous presence of pharmaceuticals in animal excretions and their discharges from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Land application of animal manures and biosolids from WWTPs and crop irrigation with reclaimed water result in the dissemination of these pharmaceuticals in agricultural soils and waters. Crops and vegetables could take up pharmaceuticals from soil and water, leading to the accumulation of trace-level pharmaceuticals in fresh produce. The pharmaceutical concentrations in crops and vegetables are much lower than the dosage for effective therapy. However, the impacts of long-term consumption of pharmaceutical-tainted crops/vegetables to human and animal health remain nearly unknown. Currently, the mechanism of plant uptake of pharmaceuticals from soil and water is not clear, which impedes the development of effective measures to mitigate contamination of food crops by pharmaceuticals. We hypothesize that water flow is the primary carrier for pharmaceuticals to enter plants, and plant physiological characteristics, pharmaceutical physicochemical properties as well as plant-pharmaceutical interactions (e.g., sorption affinity) collectively influence pharmaceutical accumulation and transport in plants. In this work, a sensitive and effective extraction method was first developed to quantify the uptake of thirteen pharmaceuticals by lettuce (Lactuca sativa) from water.

  • Methyl Salicylate As a Signaling Compound That Contributes to Forest Ecosystem Stability
    Trees https://doi.org/10.1007/s00468-021-02191-y REVIEW Methyl salicylate as a signaling compound that contributes to forest ecosystem stability Kiran Singewar1,2 · Matthias Fladung2 · Marcel Robischon3 Received: 17 November 2020 / Accepted: 2 August 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Key message This review for the frst time gathers the current state of knowledge on the role of plant and microbial methyl salicylate (MeSA) signaling processes in forest ecosystems. It aims to establish a basis for the use of high-MeSA- emitting trees as a silvicultural tool aiming to enhance stability and resilience in managed temperate forests afected by climate change. Abstract Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a volatile plant and microbial signaling compound involved in systemic acquired resist- ance (SAR) and defense against pests and microbial pathogens, and antagonists. MeSA emitted by plants is also believed to trigger SAR in neighboring plant individuals, thus contributing to the resilience of the entire plant community. In this review, we discuss volatile plant-to-plant communication processes with a special focus on MeSA and provide an overview about the occurrence of MeSA in fungi and other microbes. We summarize present fndings on the role of MeSA in plants and particularly in birches (Betula spp.) and discuss the potential use of MeSA and MeSA-emitting plants in agriculture and forestry. MeSA levels in plant tissues are adjusted by methylation of salicylic acid to MeSA and the reverse process of dem- ethylation. Some plant species possess constitutively high MeSA levels and thus are suitable for experiments of admixture of high MeSA plants, e.g., birches of the subgenera Betulenta and Acuminata in plant communities such as mixed forests.

In this work, we analyzed the metabolomes of Amborella tissues using liquid chromatography high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-HR-ESI-MS). By matching the mass spectra of Amborella metabolites with those of authentic phytochemical standards in the publicly accessible libraries, 63, 39, and 21 compounds were tentatively identified in leaves, stems, and roots, respectively.

  • Metabolism of Alkaloids in Coffee Plants
    M I N I R E V I E W Metabolism of alkaloids in coffee plants Hiroshi Ashihara Metabolic Biology Group, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, 112-8610, Japan; E-mail: [email protected] Coffee beans contain two types of alkaloids, caffeine and trigonelline, as major components. This review describes the distribu- tion and metabolism of these compounds. Caffeine is synthesised from xanthosine derived from purine nucleotides. The major biosynthetic route is xanthosine → 7-methylxanthosine → 7-methylxanthine → theobromine → caffeine. Degradation activ- ity of caffeine in coffee plants is very low, but catabolism of theophylline is always present. Theophylline is converted to xan- thine, and then enters the conventional purine degradation pathway. A recent development in caffeine research is the success- ful cloning of genes of N-methyltransferases and characterization of recombinant proteins of these genes. Possible biotechno- logical applications are discussed briefly. Trigonelline (N-methylnicotinic acid) is synthesised from nicotinic acid derived from nicotinamide adenine nucleotides. Nicotinate N-methyltransferase (trigonelline synthase) activity was detected in coffee plants, but purification of this enzyme or cloning of the genes of this N-methyltransferase has not yet been reported. The degradation activity of trigonelline in coffee plants is extremely low. Key words: Coffea, caffeine, purine alkaloids, pyridine alkaloids, theobromine, trigonelline. Metabolismo de alcalóides em plantas de café: Sementes de café possuem dois tipos de alcalóides, cafeína e trigonelina, como principais componentes. Esta revisão descreve a distribuição e metabolismo desses compostos. Cafeína é sintetizada a partir da xantosina derivada de nucleotídeos purínicos. A principal rota biossintética é xantosina → 7-metilxantosina → 7-metilxantina → teobromina → cafeína.
