Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1171: Association between HSPA8 Gene Variants and Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study Providing Additional Evidence for the Role of Heat Shock Proteins in Disease Pathogenesis
Olga Y. Bushueva HSPA8 is involved in many stroke-associated cellular processes, playing a pivotal role in the protein quality control system. Here we report the results of the pilot study aimed at determining whether HSPA8 SNPs are linked to the risk of ischemic stroke (IS). DNA samples from 2139 Russians (888 IS patients and 1251 healthy controls) were genotyped for tagSNPs (rs1461496, rs10892958, and rs1136141) in the HSPA8 gene using probe-based PCR. SNP rs10892958 of HSPA8 was associated with an increased risk (risk allele G) of IS in smokers (OR = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.07–1.77; p = 0.01) and patients ...

Genes, Vol. 12, Pages 1938: Examination of Genetic Variants Revealed from a Rat Model of Brain Ischemia in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study
A. Limborska Although there has been great progress in understanding the genetic bases of ischemic stroke (IS), many of its aspects remain underexplored. These include the genetics of outcomes, as well as problems with the identification of real causative loci and their functional annotations. Therefore, analysis of the results obtained from animal models of brain ischemia could be helpful. We have developed a bioinformatic approach exploring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in human orthologues of rat genes expressed differentially under conditions of induced brain ischemia. Using this approach, we identified a...

Sex Difference of Radiation Response in Occupational and Accidental Exposure
Conclusion and Outlook This review summarizes the data from major human studies on the health risks of radiation exposure and shows that sex can potentially influence the prolonged response to radiation exposure (Figure 1 and Tables 1, 2). These data suggest that long-term radiosensitivity in females is higher than that in males who receive a comparable dose of radiation. Our analysis of the literature agrees with the conclusions of the recent report on the Biological effects of ionizing radiation (BEIR VII) published in 2006 by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), United States (National Research Council, 2006). The B...

Association of TLR and TREM-1 Gene Polymorphisms with Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in a Russian Population.
Abstract Atherosclerosis, manifesting itself as acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and peripheral arterial diseases, is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease which is driven by responses of both innate and adaptive immunity. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (TREM-1) are important effectors of the innate immune system, and polymorphisms within genes encoding them may increase risk of occurrence of various pathologies including cardiovascular disorders. Thus, we carried out a genetic association study on the sample of 702 consecutive Caucasian (Russian) patients with...
