- Description:
- Cíle studie: Cílem studie bylo vytvořit protokol pro zpracování vzorků moči pro získání aminokyselinových profilů pomocí iontově výměnné chromotografie s detekcí ve viditelném spektru (IEC/Vis) na základě tvorby komplexů aminokyselin s ninhydrinem a následné zkrácení času analýzy pro klinicky zajímavé molekuly (sarkosin či taurin), které mohou byt využity jako potenciální nádorové biomarkery. Typ studie: Metodická Materiál a metody: Vzorky moči, odebrané pacientům s diagnostikovaným karcinomem prostaty (n = 500) byly shromažďovány po dobu 1 roku a uskladňovány při teplotě -80°C. Pro vlastní analýzu aminokyselinových profilů byly vzorky připraveny kyselou hydrolýzou v mikrovlnném reaktoru. Za optimalizovaných podmínek (80 W, 120°C, 25 bar, 105 min) bylo 500 μl vzorku, smíchaného s 500 μl 35% kyseliny chlorovodíkové zhydrolyzováno na výsledný produkt, který byl následně ředěn pufrem sodíkového cyklu (0,2 mol/l NaCl, 60 mmol/l C6H807, 1,5 mmol/l N3Na a 0,4 % S(CH2CH2OH)2). Po centrifugaci (25 000 g při 4°C, 20 min) byly vzorky neutralizovány (0,6 mol/l NaOH) a analyzovány iontově-výměnnou kapalinovou chromatografií s postkolonovou derivatizací ninhydrinem využívající optickou detekci při vlnových délkách λ = 440 a 570 nm. Pro detekci sarkosinu a taurinu byly vzorky připraveny odpařením 250 μl vzorku na dusíkové odparce (40 min, teplota dusíku 60°C, tlak 1 bar) a následně resuspendovány pufrem sodíkového cyklu (250 μl). Výsledky a závěr: Analýzou aminokyselinových profilů (n = 500) bylo zjištěno, že lze docílit získání důležitých informací z neinvazivně odebraných vzorků moči. Použití dusíkové odparky redukuje manipulaci se vzorkem a zlepšuje opakovatelnost analýzy. Zkrácená analýza sarkosinu a taurinu ze vzorků odpařených na dusíkové odparce může sloužit jako metoda pro citlivou a nízkonákladovou analýzu klinických vzorků., Objective: The aim of our study was to prepare a protocol for pre-treatment of clinical urinary samples, subsequently employed for acquirement of amino acid profiles via ion exchange chromatography with detection in visible spectrum (IEC/ Vis). Further for clinically interesting biomolecules as sarcosine and taurine the optimization was carried out to shorten the analysis time. Design: Methodological Material and methods: Urine specimens from patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (n = 500) were collected within 1 year and stored in -80°C. Samples were processed for analysis of amino acid profiles through acidic hydrolysis in a microwave reactor. Using optimized conditions (80 W, 120°C, 25 bar, 105 min), 500 μL sample, mixed with 500 μL of 35% hydrochloric acid hydrolyzed. That resulted in product, which was subsequently diluted in buffer of sodium cycle (0.2 mol/L NaCl, 60 C6H807 mmol/L, 1.5 mmol/L and 0.4% N3Na S(CH2CH2OH)2). After centrifugation (25000 g at 4°C, 20 min), the samples were neutralized (0.6 mol/l NaOH) and analyzed using ion-exchange liquid chromatography with post-column derivatization with ninhydrin, using the detection wavelength λ = 440 and 570 nm (IEC/Vis). For analysis of sarcosine and taurine, the samples were prepared by evaporation of 250 μL of sample employing a nitrogen evaporator (40 min, temperature 60°C. Nitrogen pressure of 1 bar) and resuspended with buffer of sodium cycle (250 μL). Results and conclusion: The analyses of amino acid profiles offer interesting clinical information not only in non-invasively collected urinary samples, but also in other organic matrices. Employment of nitrogen evaporator for sample pre-treatment leads to reduction of manipulation with sample and its combination with shortened analyses times of sarcosine and taurine may serve as a sensitive and low-cost method for analysis of clinical specimens., Cernei N., Heger Z., Veselý Š., Zítka O., Adam V., Kizek R., and Literatura

- Description:
- We report the karyotype characteristics including chromosome numbers of Saga campbelli campbelli, S. c. gracilis, and S. rammei using the following classical cytogenetic methods: C-banding, silver staining, and fluorochrome staining DAPI and CMA3. We also present FISH data showing the distribution of telomeric repeats and 18S rDNA on the chromosomes of these species and the results of similar studies cited in the literature on S. hellenica, S. natoliae, and S. rhodiensis. The five European Saga species exhibit a high rate of karyotype evolution. In addition to changes in chromosome number and morphology (by chromosomal inversion and/or chromosome fusion), interspecific autosomal differentiation involved changes in the distribution and quantity of constitutive heterochromatin and GC-rich regions, as well as the number and location of NORs. In the present study we focused on testing a hypothetical model of karyotype evolution in Saga, with particular reference to the cytogenetic mapping of rDNA and telomeric sequences. Variation in the distribution of rDNA and location of Ag-NORs are novel phylogenetic markers for the genus Saga.

- Description:
- A cytogenetic investigation was performed in eight species of the spittlebug genus Philaenus using silver-NOR (AgNOR)-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with 18S rDNA and (TTAGG)n telomeric probes. This is the first application of FISH technique in the Auchenorrhyncha, a suborder of the Hemiptera. FISH along with the rDNA probe revealed differences between species in the number and chromosomal location of major ribosomal RNA gene sites, the so-called nucleolar organizer regions (NORs). However, we found a lack of perfect correlation between the results of AgNOR-staining and rDNA-FISH in the detection of NORs. FISH with the telomeric probe confirmed that the chromosome ends of the Philaenus species are composed of the (TTAGG)n nucleotide sequence, which is a common motif of insect telomeres., Anna Maryanska-Nadachowska, Valetnina G.

- Description:
- Chromosome number, karyotype formula, C-banding pattern, genome size and DNA base composition were studied in three species of Hyalidae and seven species of Talitridae. A karyotype of 25 chromosome pairs, with median centromeres (FN = 100), was found in all the species of Talitridae analysed and Apohyale prevostii. Genome size (C-value) varies among Talitrida from 0.94 pg in Apohyale crassipes to 2.81 pg in Orchestia gammarellus, and the percentage of AT-DNA in the whole genome ranges from 56.12% in A. crassipes to 68.17% in Sardorchestia pelecaniformis. In comparison with Hyalidae, Talitridae show more uniformity in chromosome number and karyotype formula, and have larger genomes. There is a direct correlation between total DNA content and the amount of C-heterochromatic DNA. The cytogenetical data on Talitrida were compared from a phylogenetic and an evolutional point of view. The increase in genome size during the evolution of the Talitrida possibly had a role in their adaptation to supralittoral life and extreme subaerial conditions.

(2n = 36), H. bauhini Besser (2n = 36, 45, 54), H. brachiatum Bertol. ex DC. (2n = 45, 48, 63, 72), H. densiflorum Tausch (2n = 36), H. echioides Lumn. (2n = 18, 27, 36), H. floribundum Wimm. et Grab. (2n = 36, 45), H. glomeratum Froel. (2n = 36, 45), H. guthnickianum Hegetschw. (2n = 54), H. lactucella Wallr. (2n = 18), H. onegense (Norrl.) Norrl. (2n = 18), H. pilosella L. (2n = 36, 45, 54), H. piloselliflorum Nägeli et Peter (2n = 36, 45), H. piloselloides Vill. (2n = 36), H. rothianum Wallr. (2n = 36), H. schultesii F. W. Schultz (2n = 45), and the hybrid H. floribundum × H. aurantiacum (2n = 36). New chromosome numbers are reported for H. brachiatum and H. floribundum. The octoploid cytotype (2n = 72), recorded in H. brachiatum, is the highest ploidy level ever found in plants from the subgen. Pilosella originating from the field. Aneuploidy, rare in this subgenus in Europe, occurs in this hybridogenous species as well: it was recorded in one plant (2n = 48) collected in a hybrid swarm H. pilosella × H. bauhini. The breeding system in H. bauhini, H. brachiatum, H. densiflorum, H. echioides, H. pilosella, H. piloselloides, and H. rothianum was studied. The sexual reproduction of pentaploid H. pilosella is a new observation: it means an increase of diversity in possible reproduction modes of those cytotypes having odd chromosome numbers.

(2n = 18), H. onegense (Norrl.) Norrl. (2n = 18), H. pilosella L. (2n = 36, 45, 54), H. piloselliflorum Nägeli et Peter (2n = 45), H. pilosellinum F. W. Schultz (2n = 36, 45), H. piloselloides Vill. (2n = 27, 36, ~ 4x, 45, ~ 5x), H. pistoriense Nägeli et Peter (2n = 27), H. rothianum Wallr. (2n ~ 3x), H. schultesii F. W. Schultz (2n = 36, 45, ~ 5x), H. zizianum Tausch (2n = 27, 36, 54), and one hybrid, H. onegense × H. pilosella (2n = 36). Besides chromosome counts in root-tip meristems, flow cytometry was used to determine the DNA ploidy level in 83 samples of 9 species. The presence of a long marker chromosome was confirmed in tetraploid H. caespitosum and H. iseranum, in pentaploid H. glomeratum, and in both tetraploid and pentaploid H. floribundum. The documented mode of reproduction is sexual (H. densiflorum, H. echioides, H. piloselloides) and apomictic (H. brachiatum, H. floribundum, H. pilosellinum, H. piloselloides, H. rothianum, H. zizianum). Hieracium bifurcum and H. pistoriense are sterile. The chromosome number and/or mode of reproduction of H. bifurcum (almost sterile pentaploid), H. pilosellinum (apomictic pentaploid), H. piloselloides (apomictic triploid), H. pistoriense (sterile triploid), H. rothianum (apomictic triploid) and H. zizianum (apomictic triploid) are presented here for the first time. The sexual reproduction recorded in the pentaploid H. echioides is the second recorded case of this mode of reproduction in a pentaploid cytotype of Hieracium subgenus Pilosella. A previously unknown occurrence of H. pistoriense (H. macranthum – H. bauhini) in Slovakia is reported.

- Description:
- The annotated chromosome numbers of 25 species from 6 families of monocotyledons, most of them (14) belonging to Poaceae family, are presented here. The data, except three chromosome counts (Allium oleraceum from Hungary and Calamagrostis villosa from Slovakia), are all based on plants collected in the Czech Republic. The karyological data of 21 species represents new information. While the majority of species presented here originated from one or two localities each, the species Calamagrostis villosa has been studied more extensively: all plants, collected altogether at 13 localities (mountain and lower altitudes), are characterized by an invariable decaploid level (2n = 70). The record of triploid Allium oleraceum is only the second reference to this rare ploidy level in this species. All original karyological data are compared with literature references to particular species, preferentially from Europe.

First chromosome numbers are reported for Hieracium kuekenthalianum (= H. tephrosoma, 2n = 36), H. praecurrens (2n = 27) and H. virgicaule (2n = 27); first counts from the Western Carpathians are given for H. atratum (2n = 27), H. bifidum (2n = 27, 36), H. carpathicum (2n = 36), H. inuloides (2n = 27), H. jurassicum (2n = 27), H. macilentum (= H. epimedium, 2n = 27), H. nigritum (2n = 36), H. pilosum (= H. morisianum, 2n = 27) and H. silesiacum (2n = 36). New ploidy level (tetraploid, 2n = 36) is reported for H. bupleuroides, hitherto published counts refer only to triploids (2n = 27). Previously published chromosome numbers were confirmed for several other species, i.e. H. alpinum (s.str., 2n = 27), H. bupleuroides (2n = 27), H. crassipedipilum (H. fritzei group, 2n = 27, 36), H. lachenalii (2n = 27), H. murorum (2n = 27), H. prenanthoides (2n = 27), H. racemosum (2n = 27), H. sabaudum (2n = 27), H. slovacum (H. fritzei group, 2n = 36), and H. umbellatum (2n = 18). Triploids and tetraploids predominate, diploids (2n = 18) were found in H. umbellatum. A comprehensive list of previously published chromosome numbers in Hieracium s. str. from the Western Carpathians is provided.
