The carcinogenicity of several groups of carcinogens is evoked with particular reference to Dibenzo(c,g)carbazole derivatives. The activity of these derivatives is discussed with respect to their species and organ specificity. The enzymatic equipment is decisive as to whether the compounds formed can react with DNA or are simply detoxified and eliminated. All these carcinogens are complete carcinogens, i. e. they have the property of both initiation and promotion.

Mitochondrial heat shock proteins of HSP70 family support protein homeostasis in mitochondria under normal and stress conditions. They provide folding and complex assembly of proteins encoded by mitochondrial genome, as well as import of cytosolic proteins to mitochondria, their folding and protection against aggregation. There are reports about organ-specificity of mitochondrial HSP70 synthesis in plants. However, tissue specificity of their functioning remains incompletely characterized. This problem was studied for mitochondrial AtHSP70-10 in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings using a transgenic line with uidA signal gene under normal conditions, as well as high temperature and water deficit. Under normal conditions, histochemical GUS-staining revealed the expression of AtHSP70-10 in cotyledon and leaf hydathodes, stipules, central cylinder in root differentiation and mature zones, as well as weak staining in root apex and root-shoot junction zone. RT-PCR analysis of wild-type seedlings exposed to 37°C showed rapid upregulation of AtHSP70-10, which reached the highest level within 2 h. In addition, the gradual development of water deficit for 5 days caused an increase in transcription of this gene, which became more pronounced after 3 days and reached a maximum after 5 days of dehydration. Histochemical analysis showed complete preservation of tissue localization of AtHSP70-10 expression under both abiotic factors. The data obtained indicate the specific functioning of mitochondrial chaperone AtHSP70-10 in certain plant cellular structures.

In this work, two cyclometalated ligands 2-(pyridin-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (pyidcz) and 2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (tfpyidcz) using indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole unit were synthesized for highly efficient iridium(III) complexes (pyidcz)2Ir(tmd) and (tfpyidcz)2Ir(tmd) (tmd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione). The two Ir(III)...

AbstractAn efficient Cu-catalyzed synthesis of carbazole derivatives is reported, which proceeds by double C–N coupling reactions of 2,2′-dibromobiphenyl and amines in the presence of air. The reaction is robust, proceeds in high yields, and tolerates a series of amines including neutral, electron-rich, electron-deficient aromatic amines and aliphatic amines.

Malignant tumors are a consequence of genetic changes mainly occurring during cell division, sometimes with a congenital component. Therefore, accelerated cell divisions will necessarily predispose individuals, whether due to conditions of chronic cell destruction or hormonal overstimulation. It has been postulated that two genetic hits are necessary for the development of malignancy (Knudson). The correct view is probably that the number of genetic changes needed depends on the role the mutated genes have in proliferation and growth control. Hormones should accordingly be regarded as complete carcinogens. In this review based upon experience of gastric cancer where gastrin is central in the pathogenesis, it is argued that oxyntic atrophy—and not metaplasia as postulated by Correa—is the central precancer change in gastric mucosa. Moreover, the target cell of gastrin, the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell, is central in gastric carcinogenesis and most probably the cell of origin of gastric carcinomas of the diffuse type according to Lauren (a classification probable in accordance with biology). The distinction between adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine carcinomas based upon a certain percentage of cancer cells with neuroendocrine differentiation is questioned. To make progress in the treatment of cancer, a correct classification system and knowledge of the pathogenesis are necessary.
