	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Several sets of proteins exist in eukaryotic cells wherein accurately localized in appropriate cellular locations containing plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and different membrane-enclosed organelles. Each protein is involved in distinct biochemical processes within the normal cell; therefore, the correct subcellular localization of protein is vital; as it provides the physiological context for protein function. However, protein mislocalization described as changing the appropriate subcellular localization of protein, was reported as a key feature of many proteins in a variety of human cancers &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;. Mislocalization has important implications in alteration of activation condition, biological function and interaction network of a protein.&amp;nbsp;Particularly,&amp;nbsp; the aberrant localization of tumor-suppressor proteins and proto-oncoproteins can alter their functions, respectively in either suppressing or supporting the cancer initiation in normal cells whereby cancer development, metastasis and drug resistance are increased &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The mechanisms by which subcellular mislocalization is arising in cancer are various and deeply reviewed by Wang and Li &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. They can be described as modification of signals directing proteins into a particular location, dysregulation of sorter and transporter machinery, Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) retention of misfolded proteins, aberrant endocytosis and vesicular trafficking, dysregulation of signal transduction and protein post-translational modification and so on &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The aberrant subcellular position of proteins in cancer tissues has been investigated broadly by antibody-based strategies including Immunohistochemistry (IHC). The major localization of sortilin on cell surface of ovarian carcinoma tissues rather than the main resident in ER-Golgi compartment of normal tissues was detected using IHC technique &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;. The new method of Dissociable Antibody Microarray (DAMA) combining the power of IHC staining with protein microarray, provides the facility of high-throughput detection of protein subcellular localization &lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The property of malignant cells in differently subcellular localization of proteins might be recruited as an intelligent strategy for detection of malignant but not normal cells in clinical diagnostic and prognostic applications &lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;.&amp;nbsp; For instance, fibromodulin, a type of proteoglycan resides in extracellular matrix, has been irregularly located on cell surface of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) cells but not in normal samples by which a new CLL diagnostic biomarker appropriate for cell surface flow cytometric detection&amp;nbsp; might be suggested &lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt;. Moreover, directly targeting of locations in where proteins are accumulated in cancer cells plus selecting the structural dissimilarities of proteins by biologic weapons help us to specifically eradicate malignant but not normal cells.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, the subscellular mislocalization of proteins is a frequent event in cancers defined as an accessory approach for proliferation, survival and invasion of tumors. However, targeting and trapping proteins in specific cellular compartments has been conceptualized as a promising approach for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic clinical use.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;In recent decades, different methods have been introduced for the genotyping of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations in nucleic acid sequences. These methods have several applications ranging from agriculture to medicine. The Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method was first introduced by Notomi et al. Since then, different methods derived from LAMP have been extensively applied in detecting pathogens. The LAMP method is an isothermal technique that amplifies the target DNA segment using four different primers that have been uniquely designed for recognizing six distinct zones on the objective gene; the process of reaction continues at a constant temperature via a strand displacement reaction. Amplifying and detecting the targeted zone can be accomplished in one stage. Although the LAMP method is mostly used for pathogen detection, several studies have used this method for genotyping. The present article reviewed various studies that used the LAMP method for SNP detection. The outcomes indicated that the LAMP technique could be a reliable and alternative technique for genotyping. Further studies are recommended to use this approach for genotyping.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Background: Leishmaniasis is one of the major emerging health problems worldwide and &lt;em&gt;Leishmania tropica&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;L. tropica&lt;/em&gt;) is most prevalent in the Middle East due to conflict and environmental factors, and there is no effective prevention strategy available until now. An effective vaccine has not been developed to date. DNA vaccines are considered a promising approach to protect against this infection. In this study, since vacuolar (H+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) enzyme has an essential role in the life cycle of eukaryotes, V-ATPase subunit F gene has been chosen to design DNA vaccine and evaluate its immunogenicity in BALB\c mice.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from promastigote culture, synthesized complementary DNA (cDNA) after standardization of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) conditions. The V-ATPase subunit F gene was placed into plasmid PCI. Then, recombinant plasmids were transformed into competent cells. Cloning was confirmed by PCR, restriction enzyme assays, and finally, DNA sequence analysis, after making miniprep from positive colonies and finally the gene was sequenced. BALB/c mice were immunized subcutaneously three times at an interval of two weeks with designed vaccine. BALB\c mice were challenged with 106 promastigotes of &lt;em&gt;L. tropica &lt;/em&gt;7 days post-immunization. IL-12, IFN-&amp;gamma; and IL-4 were quantified by RT-qPCR.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Results: The present study proved the existence of subunit F gene in Syrian strain of &lt;em&gt;L. tropica &lt;/em&gt;(LCED Syrian 01) promastigotes genome. Its expression was also proved in these parasites and the gene length was 414 &lt;em&gt;bp&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: This study showed that vaccination of BALB\c mice with this gene induced partial protection against Leishmania by reduction of lesion size by 41.9% and parasite burden reduction by 3-log in the dLNs when compared with control group. IFN-&amp;gamma;\IL-4 was 1.6 after challenge test, so the immune response consisted of both Th1 and Th2.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Background: Regarding to the increase of cancer deaths in recent years and disability of common therapies to eradicate cancers, as well as expansion of Natural Killer (NK) cell therapy, it seems so vital to find new useful therapies against cancers. Breast cancer is the second main cause of cancer death among women. As it is impossible for a majority of patients to receive NK cell therapy, an attempt was made to establish a low-cost and efficient method for expanding and activating NK cells against breast cancer cell line (MCF7).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: NK cells were isolated from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) applying either MACS based NK cell enrichment kit or antibodies and complement as cytotoxic method. Then, the NK cells were cultured in Stem Cell Growth Medium (SCGM) with feeder layer (irradiated PBMCs) along with PHA or OKT3. IL-2, IL-15 and IL-21 were used to expand NK cells and finally their cytotoxic activity was investigated by flow cytometry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Results: Highly pure NK cells were obtained and no significant difference between the two isolation methods was found. Using IL-2 plus IL-15, the number of NK cells increased up to100 fold after 16 days. No significant effect was observed after IL-21 treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: Our data indicated that cytotoxicity method can be considered a low-cost alternative for NK cell isolation kits. It seems that culturing NK cells for 14 days in either PHA or OKT3 supplemented SCGM medium would be more effective than culturing for 16 days in the presence of IL-21.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Background: Placenta-specific 1 (PLAC1), as a new Cancer/Testis Antigen (CTA), is frequently expressed in a variety of cancers and localized to cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Surface expression of cancer target antigens is of great importance that enables antibody-mediated cancer immunotherapy. The aim of the current study was to express the intact human PLAC1 protein on plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell as a model for future anti-PLAC1-based cancer immunotherapy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: In the first approach, entire human PLAC1 gene including its own Signal Peptide (SP) was cloned into pIRES2-EGFP and LeGO-iG2 vectors and expressed in CHO-K1 cells. In the second approach, cytosolic and Signal-Anchor (SA) sequence of Transferrin Receptor Protein 1 (TFR1) were fused to extracellular portion of PLAC1 and expressed as above. Expression of PLAC1 was then assessed using Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunofluorescence (IF) and Flow Cytometry (FC).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Results: The first approach resulted in the expression of PLAC1 in submembranous but not in the surface of transfected CHO-K1 cells. Using the chimeric human PLAC1 construct, the same intracellular expression pattern was observed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: These results indicated that there are some yet unknown PLAC1 localization signals employed by cancer cells for surface expression of PLAC1.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:9.5pt&quot;&gt;Background:&lt;/span&gt; The Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitors (SLPI) has many biological functions including anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-modulatory. Previous studies have shown that gene-encoding human SLPI have successfully been expressed in &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli (E. coli)&lt;/em&gt; with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag (His-tag). The aim of this research was to investigate the inhibition activity of N-terminal His-tag position (NSLPI) and C-terminal His-tag position (CSLPI). We hypothesized that a His-tag close to an active site SLPI domain may interfere with the inhibition activity of SLPIs.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:2.0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:9.5pt&quot;&gt;Methods:&lt;/span&gt; A NSLPI and CSLPI were constructed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The PCR products were then ligated into pET-30a plasmid and transformed into &lt;em&gt;E. coli &lt;/em&gt;TOP10. Recombinant plasmids were verified by using restriction analysis and nucleotide sequence analysis. pET-NSLPI and pET-CSLPI were then subcloned in &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; BL21(DE3) for its expression. The SLPI protein was expressed using Isopropyl &amp;beta;-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside induction (IPTG). The inhibition effect of both SLPI against Porcine Pancreatic Elastase (PPE) enzyme was tested using the N-succinyil-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-phenylalanyl-4-nitroanalide (NPN) substrate.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:2.0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:9.5pt&quot;&gt;Results:&lt;/span&gt; The SLPI gene was successfully cloned and expressed in &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; BL21. Fusion proteins of NSLPI and CSLPI were generated with His-tag in the N-terminal and C-terminal position, respectively. The inhibition effect of NSLPI and CSLPI on PPE indicated that both SLPI were active. The inhibition activity of NSLPI was 66.7%, higher than CSLPI by 44.4%.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:2.0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:9.5pt&quot;&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/span&gt; The His-tag position on the C-terminal of SLPI reduced the inhibition activity of SLPI.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Background: Despite the ease of conventional splicing by overlap-extension (SOEing) PCR technique in theory, when splicing more than two fragments, and especially if one of the complementary sequences is A-T rich, the attachment of the fragments would be challenging. A new rapid and highly efficient SOEing PCR assay was developed for simultaneous splicing of multiple DNA fragments and induction of site-directed mutagenesis in a single tube.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: The method was adapted for splicing human beta-globin UTRs to OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, C-MYC, LIN28A, and destabilized GFP for the construction of chimeric DNA fragments for &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; transcription. In addition, the native Kozak sequence of beta-globin (K1) was replaced by the strongest Kozak sequence (K2) using site-directed mutagenesis to enhance the expression of target genes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Results: ChimericGFPd2/K1, GFPd2/K2, OCT4, and KLF4 were created by the optimized conventional SOEing PCR. The single tube method was able to create the chimeric SOX2, C-MYC, and LIN28A in high quality and quantity in comparison with the conventional SOEing PCR. Moreover, using single tube SOEing PCR, the reaction time and materials that are required in the conventional SOEing PCR were significantly reduced. Fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry examinations indicated highly efficient translation of K2 sequence in comparison with the K1sequence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: Single tube SOEing PCR is a valuable method to construct more multiple fragments with high yield. The method can successfully be applied for construction of various kinds of complex chimeric genes.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;Background: The delivery of exogenous genes into cells for functional expression is required for development of DNA vaccine and gene therapy in medicine and pharmacology. Cell Penetrating Peptides (CPPs) were considered to mediate gene and drug delivery into living cells. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the efficiency of an arginine-rich CPP, HR9, in HCV NS3 gene delivery compared to TurboFect cationic polymer and supercharged +36 GFP into HEK-293T cells.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: The recombinant pEGFP-NS3 was constructed and their accuracy was confirmed by digestion and sequencing. Then, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into HEK-293T cells by TurboFect, +36 GFP and HR9 gene delivery systems. The expression of NS3 protein was assessed by fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry and western blotting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Results: Our data indicated that HR9 peptide was able to form stable complexes with plasmid DNA and increased its delivery into HEK-293T cells in a non-covalent manner. Furthermore, treatment of cells with HR9 and HR9/DNA complexes resulted in a viability of 90-95% indicating this CPP was not cytotoxic. The analysis of zeta potential and size showed the importance of interactions between positively-charged HR9/pEGFP-NS3 complexes and negatively-charged plasma membranes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: The non-toxic HR9 CPP can be considered an effective carrier for delivering plasmid DNA harboring &lt;em&gt;Hepatitis C &lt;/em&gt;virus (HCV) gene in therapeutic vaccine design.&lt;/p&gt;

	<title>Investigation of the Correlation between Androgen Receptor and ZEB1 and its Value  in Progression of Gastric Cancer</title>

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; Zinc-finger Enhancer Binding protein (ZEB1) acts as a transcription factor to promote cancer progression through regulating Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). It is well-known that ZEB1 mRNA expression is directly induced by both Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PR). Moreover, Androgen Receptor (AR) and PR could bind to the same regulatory element. Since it has been shown that AR overexpresses in Gastric Cancer (GC) as a male-predominant tumor, the goal of this study was to evaluate whether AR could regulate ZEB1 expression in GC.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The expression profile of ZEB1 in 60 fresh GC and adjacent non-tumor tissues and 50 normal gastric specimens was assessed by qRT-PCR, and the association of ZEB1 expression with clinicopathological features was investigated. Furthermore, possible correlation between ZEB1 and AR was evaluated to elucidate a novel prognostic marker using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. Finally, molecular interaction of ZEB1 and AR was assessed using a potent AR antagonist in GC cells.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Among GC patients, 70.2% (40/57) overexpressed ZEB1 and 64.91% (37/57) overexpressed AR relative to normal gastric tissues. ZEB1 overexpression was significantly correlated with the AR overexpression in GC patients. Moreover, ZEB1 overexpression was remarkably associated with lower overall survival; however, it was not an independent prognostic factor. Evidence shows that simultaneous evaluation of ZEB1 and AR expression could independently predict survival of GC patients (HR=2.193, p=0.047).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These findings have clinical importance suggesting simultaneous evaluation of ZEB1 and AR expression as a potential prognostic marker. Moreover, AR may regulate ZEB1 expression in GC cells proposing a possible promising targeted therapy for GC patients.&lt;/p&gt;

	<abstract>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; In the present work, a newly isolated marine bacterium, &lt;em&gt;Micrococcus&lt;/em&gt; sp. MP76, from coastal area of Persian Gulf around Bushehr province, Iran, was identified with the ability to produce bioactive compounds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The pigment production was optimized by changing carbon and nitrogen sources in bacterial growth media at 28&lt;em&gt;&amp;deg;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;C&lt;/em&gt; and 220 &lt;em&gt;rpm&lt;/em&gt; for 5 days. Partial purification of the pigment was carried out using suitable solvents.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Maximum pigment extract was achieved (1.4 &lt;em&gt;g/l&lt;/em&gt;) when cultured in the medi&lt;em&gt;um&lt;/em&gt; containing 0.5% (v/v) molasses, 0.5% (w/v) peptone, 1% (w/v) sea salt, 0.01% (w/v) potassium phosphate, and 0.05% (w/v) yeast extract, pH=7.0. Antibacterial effect assessment of the extract against pathogenic bacteria revealed the MIC values in the range of 4.2-7.5 &lt;em&gt;mg/ml&lt;/em&gt; depending on different pathogens. The pigment extracted from medium supplemented by molasses and ammonium sulfate had 81% radical scavenging activity, and its IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value was 0.28 &lt;em&gt;mg/ml&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The newly isolated strain of &lt;em&gt;Micrococcus&lt;/em&gt; genus from the Persian Gulf revealed a valuable source to access worth medicinal ingredients when cultured under optimized conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
