Chemical Inductors of Proximity Associating DNA Damage-Binding Protein 2 and XIAP as Targeted Therapy for General Cancers
Authors: Shen Leqi
Published: November 2023

While all cancers are classified as uncontrolled proliferations of cells, they manifest in many forms and may arise from a wide range of cellular anomalies. It has thus made finding a universal targeted cancer therapy a highly desirable goal. Several common biochemical changes associated with oncogenesis have been described in literature across all cancers, namely the Warburg effect (Heiden et al., 2009) (Warburg, 1925) and resistance to apoptosis (Hanahan & Weinburg, 2011). These hallmarks possess high potential to be used as targeting mechanisms in cancer treatment. Recent findings by Gourlsankar et al. have shown a promising new technique of linking the activity of a frequently activated cancer driver (B cell lymphoma 6) with an apoptosis promotor, allowing the creation of a synthetic biochemical pathway which rewires cancer driver activity to induce cell death, done through using a drug to covalently link two molecules that bond to each protein (Gourlsankar et al., 2023). While this approach specifically targeted diffuse large B cell lymphoma, it shows high promise for new strategies to approach eliminating cancer cells, namely in the artificial activation of tumor suppressor function through protein linkage and the consequent association in protein location within the cytosol. This paper aims to review the strategy of Gourlsankar et al., identifying ways to expand its concept towards generalized treatments using the hallmarks of cancer, and proposing a new theoretical drug mechanism using the linkage of DNA damage-binding protein 2 (DDB2) with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) to induce cell death.

Published: November 2023

In large field experiments, the precision of randomized complete block (RCB) design is reduced because of the heterogeneity in field condition. Alpha lattice design (ALD) provides better control on experimental variability among the experimental units under field conditions. Each replication is divided into incomplete blocks and that blocks with in replication error will be eliminated from total error, so that the precision will be increased. The data from an experiment conducted in ALD with 22 entries, three replications and each replication divided in to two blocks was used for this study. The results indicated that RCBD should be replaced by alpha lattice when more than 10 treatments were compared.

Authors: M V DHUPPE  , D S MUTKULE  , A K GHOTMUKALE
Published: November 2023

Thirty two genotypes were evaluated for the estimation of heritability, correlation, path analysis and genetic divergence for ten yield traits. High estimates of heritability were recorded for all the traits. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for plant height, seed yield/plant, number of seeds/capitulum and number of effective capitulum/plant, 100-seed weight and harvest index. The seed weight contributed maximum towards genetic divergence. From the combined results of correlation coefficient and path analysis, it was observed that number of effective capitulum, number of seeds/capitulum, 100-seed weight are the major yield contributing characters to apply selection pressure for improving yield. The genotypes possessing combination of above characters should be used in a breeding programme for obtaining high yielding segregants.

The present investigation was carried out to search for source of high yielding and short stature mother palms in India. We identified palm that has the highest yield of 181.70 kg, more number of bunches (20.50) and less height increment (18 cm) in comparison to other progenies by taking moving average (yield: 98.13 kg, no. of bunches: 13.38, height increment: 32.48 cm) of the same cross. The mesocarp content of this accession also more (72.20%) when compared with the standard duras. Another palm selected (Palm N0: 47) has the highest yield (221.30 kg) and medium height increment (33.00 cm) in comparison to other progenies by taking moving average (yield: 103.77 kg, height increment: 31.81 cm) of the same cross. The utilization of high-yielding genetic base as a planting material has been proven to be the most efficient and sustainable means of increasing the yield output of existing oil palm genetic base. This genetic stock recorded highest yield and short stature compared with other progenies. However, it can be used as a mother parent for the development of high yielding and dwarf oil palm hybrids.
