In Drosophila ovarian somatic cells, PIWI-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) against transposable elements are mainly produced from the ∼180-kb flamenco ( flam) locus. flam transcripts are gathered into foci, located close to the nuclear envelope, and processed into piRNAs in the cytoplasmic Yb bodies. The mechanism of Yb body formation remains unknown. Using RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization, we found that in the follicle cells of ovaries the 5′-ends of flam transcripts are usually located in close proximity to the nuclear envelope and outside of Yb bodies, whereas their extended downstream regions mostly overlap with Yb bodies. In flamKG mutant ovaries, flam transcripts containing the first and, partially, second exons but lacking downstream regions are gathered into foci at the nuclear envelope, but Yb bodies are not assembled. Strikingly, piRNAs from the protein-coding gene transcripts accumulate at higher levels in flamKG ovaries indicating that piRNA biogenesis may occur without Yb bodies. We propose that normally in follicle cells, flam downstream transcript regions function not only as a substrate for generation of piRNAs but also as a scaffold for Yb body assembly, which competitively decreases piRNA production from the protein-coding gene transcripts. By contrast, in ovarian somatic cap and escort cells Yb body assembly does not require flam transcription.

Background: HER-2/neu is a predictive biomarker for treatment of gastric cancer using trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the status of HER-2/neu gene amplification using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in gastric cancer. Patients and methods: thirty six gastric cancer patients were assessed HER-2/neu gene amplification by FISH using PathVysionTM HER-2 DNA Probe kit (including HER-2/neu probe and CEP-17 probe) with biopsy and surgical specimens. Results: The HER-2/neu gene amplification was observed in three cases (8.3%), the HER-2/neu gene amplification rate in Lauren’s intestinal-type and diffuse-type were 11.8% and 5.2%, respectively. Conclusion: We applied successfully FISH technique with gastric cancer tissue samples. This technique could be performed as routine test in gastric cancer in order to select patients that benefit from trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy.
