Abstract
O. basilicum is medicinally important herb having inevitable role in human health. However, the mechanism of action is largely unknown. Present study aims to understand the mechanism of regulation of key human target genes that could plausibly modulated by O. basilicum miRNAs in cross kingdom manner using computational and system biology approach. O. basilicum miRNA sequences were retrieved and their corresponding human target genes were identified using psRNA target and interaction analysis of hub nodes. Six O. basilicum derived miRNAs were found to modulate 26 human target genes which were associated `with PI3K-AKTand MAPK signaling pathways with PTPN11, EIF2S2, NOS1, IRS1 and USO1 as top 5 Hub nodes. O. basilicum miRNAs not only regulate key human target genes having a significance in various diseases but also paves the path for future studies that might explore potential of miRNA mediated cross-kingdom regulation, prevention and treatment of various human diseases including cancer.

Masamatti SS, Narasimha A, Shetty AC, Vijaya C. A Rare Case of Primary Plasma Cell Leukaemia with Monosomy X. J Clin Diagn Res 2017; 11:ED06-ED07. [PMID: 28969143 PMCID: PMC5620783 DOI: 10.7860/jcdr/2017/28512.10367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2017] [Accepted: 05/09/2017] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Primary Plasma Cell Leukaemia (pPCL) is a very rare and aggressive subtype of plasma cell dyscrasias with a very poor outcome and characterized by presence of >2x109/l circulating plasma cells. Overall incidence being 1%-2% of all malignant plasma cell diseases and 0.9% of all acute leukaemias. Patients with primary and secondary PCL have similar clinical features but differences do exist. Here we report a rare and interesting case diagnosed as primary PCL in a 44-year-old female with unusual clinical presentation and complex karyotyping. Her serum electrophoresis showed a monoclonal IgG component and immunohistochemistry of bone marrow plasma cells showed CD 38 positive and CD 20 negative. The patient initially responded partially for combination chemotherapy, but succumbed after 20 days of diagnosis. We are presenting this case to highlight the importance of early diagnosis of such haematological malignancies in settings where treatment options like stem cell transplantation are limited.
