Sequence analysis indicated that the full-length TasA cloned from HAS consisted of 786 nucleotides, and shared 99% homology in nucleotide sequence with the TasA gene sequence published in Genbank (AJ871386.1). It was predicted that the molecular weight of TasA protein was about 28 kD. Base transitions or transversions ~curred at positions 104, 164, 169,250, 399,623 and 627, at the 2nd, 2nd, 3rd , 1st , 3rd, 2nd and 3rd bases of TasA codons. The mutations in the seven bases may cause the missense mutations of the polypeptide chain. Compared with the amino acid sequences of the TasA protein encoded by Bacillus aubtilis subsp, subtilis str. 168, mutations in two amino acids at positions 150 and 209 of the protein encoded by the cloned TasA gene were found, and as a result, an ala- nine was replaced with a threonine.展开更多
癌症研究中常用癌旁组织(normal tissues adjacent to the tumour,NAT)作对照,而癌旁组织与无肿瘤的正常组织的基因表达谱是有差异的。癌旁组织特异性表达基因的存在通常会干扰传统的转录图谱研究,然而目前关于癌旁与无肿瘤组织的基因...癌症研究中常用癌旁组织(normal tissues adjacent to the tumour,NAT)作对照,而癌旁组织与无肿瘤的正常组织的基因表达谱是有差异的。癌旁组织特异性表达基因的存在通常会干扰传统的转录图谱研究,然而目前关于癌旁与无肿瘤组织的基因表达谱差异的研究相对较少。本研究对14例乳腺癌患者的癌组织、癌旁组织和对侧正常乳腺组织样本进行高深度RNA测序和分析,发现癌旁组织相比对侧正常乳腺组织有102个差异表达基因。基因富集和蛋白-蛋白互作分析揭示这些差异表达基因显著富集在肿瘤坏死因子(tumour necrosis factor,TNF)和上皮间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)等癌症相关的基因集中。通过比较癌旁组织与癌组织、癌旁组织与对侧正常乳腺组织的转录图谱,发现23个癌旁组织特异性高表达的基因,即癌旁特异性激活(tumour-adjacent speci c activation,TASA)基因。这些基因显著富集在TNF基因集中,其中15个是新发现的基因。结果表明,TASA基因在乳腺癌癌旁组织中普遍存在,并且与免疫系统的TNF信号有关。癌旁中存在类肿瘤型表达模式的基因,这些基因可能与肿瘤形成有关,但是往往在肿瘤癌旁成对研究中被遗漏。展开更多
