Results: 296 patients with MR and a normal karyotype (500-550 bands) were screened for subtelomeric imbalances by using qPCR combined with SYBR green detection. In total, 17 patients (5.8%) with 20 subtelomeric imbalances were identified. Six of the aberrations (2%) were classified as causative for the symptoms, because they occurred either de novo in the patients (5 cases) or the aberration were be detected in the patient and an equally affected parent (1 case). The extent of the deletions ranged from 1.8 to approximately 10 Mb, duplications were 1.8 to approximately 5 Mb in size. In 6 patients, the copy number variations (CNVs) were rated as benign polymorphisms, and the clinical relevance of these CNVs remains unclear in 5 patients (1.7%).

Furthermore, quantitative RT-PCR on RNAs derived from five benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) samples showed no significant difference in BI-1 expression as compared to normal epithelial prostate tissue. To determine the function of BI-1 in vitro, human PC-3, LNCaP, and DU-145 prostate carcinoma cells were transfected with small interfering double-strand RNA (siRNA) oligonucleotides against the BI-1 gene leading to a specific down-regulation of BI-1 expression. Furthermore, transfection of PC-3, LNCaP, and DU-145 cells with BI-1 sequence-specific siRNAs caused a significant increase in spontaneous apoptosis in all cell lines.

Recently, mutations in the MKS1 gene have been identified as disease causing in individuals of Finnish MKS families. The primary aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of the 'Finnish founder mutation' (29 bp IVS15-7_35) in the MKS1 gene in 20 aborted fetuses with a diagnosis of MKS. The secondary aim was to screen for novel mutations in the coding sequence of the MKS1 gene of MKS fetuses and to obtain genotype-phenotype correlations where possible. Furthermore, we evaluated the carrier rate of a deletion of 29 bp in intron 15 of the MKS1 gene in a German population. To identify and characterize mutations in the MKS1 gene, sequence analyses and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction studies were performed. We could identify the same type of mutation, a deletion of 29 bp in intron 15 of the MKS1 gene, in 8 out of the 20 cases studied. Six out of the eight cases with such a mutation displayed the campomelic variant of MKS. The carrier frequency among 519 healthy German individuals was 1:260. This deletion in the MKS1 gene is highly associated with a distinct subtype of the MKS, namely the campomelic variant. In individuals of European origin suffering from the campomelic MKS variant, the described deletion is highly likely to be causative. Regarding the results of our study, the incidence of MKS in Germany can be estimated as 1:135,000.

To investigate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects on prostate cancer of histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) and phytoestrogen tectorigenin, we analyzed the expression of ER after tectorigenin or VPA treatment. For further functional analysis, we knocked down ER beta expression by RNA interference. LNCaP prostate cancer cells were treated with 5 mmol/L VPA or 100 mu mol/L tectorigenin and transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against ER beta. Control transfections were done with luciferase (LUC) siRNA. Expression of ER beta was assessed by Western blot. mRNA expression was quantitated by real-time reverse transcription-PCR. Expression of ER beta mRNA and protein markedly increased after VPA or tectorigenin treatment. When ER beta was knocked down by siRNA, the expression of prostate-derived Ets factor, prostate-specific antigen, prostate cancer-specific indicator gene DD3(PCA3), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor, the catalytic subunit of the telomerase, and ER beta was up-regulated and the tectorigenin effects were abrogated. ER beta levels were diminished in prostate cancer and loss of ER beta was associated with proliferation. Here, we show that siRNA-mediated knockdown of ER beta increases the expression of genes highly relevant to tumor cell proliferation. In addition, we show that one prominent result of treatment with VPA or tectorigenin is the up-regulation of ER beta resulting in antiproliferative effects.
