Different applications of polymerases with and without proofreading activity in single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis

With the completion of the human genome project, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the focus of intense study in biomedical research. Polymerase-mediated primer extension has been employed in a variety of SNP assays. However, these SNP assays using polymerase without proofreading function are compromised by their low reliability. Using a newly developed short amplicon harboring restriction enzyme site, EcoR-I, we were able to compare the single-base discrimination abilities of polymerases with and without proofreading function in primer extension in a broad range of annealing temperatures. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated a striking single-nucleotide discrimination ability of polymerases with proofreading function. Using unmodified 3'-end allele-specific primers, only template-dependent products were generated by polymerase with proofreading activity. This powerful single-base discrimination ability of exo(+) polymerases was further evaluated in primer extension using three types of 3' terminally modified allele-specific primers. As compared with the poor fidelity in primer extension of polymerases lacking 3' exonuclease activity, this study provides convincing evidence that the use of proofreading polymerases in combination with 3'-end modified allele-specific primers can be a powerful new strategy for the development of SNP assays.     

Calcium currents and transmitter output in cultured spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion neurons

The effects of repetitive activation upon voltage-dependent calcium currents (ICa) and transmitter release were studied in dissociated cell cultures of fetal mouse spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion. Sodium and potassium currents were suppressed with tetrodotoxin (TTX) and tetraethylammonium (TEA) ions, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), and cesium sulfate. Calcium currents were compared under voltage clamp before and after a series of depolarizing clamp pulses in spinal cord (SC) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Repetitive activation resulted in an exponential decline in ICa, with the decrease in ICa being much more marked in DRG compared with SC neurons. Both voltage-dependent inactivation and inactivation related to the intracellular movement of Ca2+ appeared to be involved in the decrement in ICa with repetitive activation. A decrease in transmitter output occurred with repetitive activation in DRG neurons but not in SC neurons (either excitatory or inhibitory). DRG neuron synaptic boutons had fewer mitochondria than did the boutons of either excitatory or inhibitory of SC neurons. The decrement in both ICa and synaptic transmitter output in DRG neurons could last for prolonged periods (at least minutes) following repetitive activation. We hypothesize that this vulnerability of DRG neurons to repetitive activation may be related, at least in part, to a relative incapacity to maintain a low intracellular calcium ion concentration [Ca]i during periods of increased calcium ingress associated with excitation. Such an incapacity to buffer [Ca]i may be one mechanism leading to the inactive synapses seen in some studies in vitro and in vivo of synaptic transmission.     

Diagnosis and taxonomy of periodical psychosis

The concept and taxonomy of periodic psychosis still remains in controversy for the past 100 years. In China, it was first reported by Ji, and thereafter various rinds of terminology and views were given by different authors. In the presentation, clinical investigation and follow up were carried out in 62 cases. In many of these cases, the so-called "periodic psychosis" or "phasophrenia" was early clinical features of schizophrenia or manic-depression. In those cases with apparent symptoms and signs of diencephalic function, differential diagnosis should be carried out from organic brain syndrome. In a small number of cases, their clinical manifestations, conforming to previous diagnostic criteria, might be an uncommon syndrome. It was concluded by the authors that until now periodic could be considered only as a clinical syndrome rather than a disease entity.     

Dietary Habit Is Associated with Depression and Intelligence: An Observational and Genome-Wide Environmental Interaction Analysis in the UK Biobank Cohort

Dietary habits have considerable impact on brain development and mental health. Despite long-standing interest in the association of dietary habits with mental health, few population-based studies of dietary habits have assessed depression and fluid intelligence. Our aim is to investigate the association of dietary habits with depression and fluid intelligence. In total, 814 independent loci were utilized to calculate the individual polygenic risk score (PRS) for 143 dietary habit-related traits. The individual genotype data were obtained from the UK Biobank cohort. Regression analyses were then conducted to evaluate the association of dietary habits with depression and fluid intelligence, respectively. PLINK 2.0 was utilized to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) × dietary habit interaction effect on the risks of depression and fluid intelligence. We detected 22 common dietary habit-related traits shared by depression and fluid intelligence, such as red wine glasses per month, and overall alcohol intake. For interaction analysis, we detected that OLFM1 interacted with champagne/white wine in depression, while SYNPO2 interacted with coffee type in fluid intelligence. Our study results provide novel useful information for understanding how eating habits affect the fluid intelligence and depression.
