    Notes: The LIM homeobox family of transcription factors is involved in many processes during the development of the mammalian central nerves system. L3, also called Lhx8 (L3/Lhx8), is a recently identified member of the LIM homeobox gene family and is selectively expressed in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE). Our previous study demonstrated that L3/Lhx8-null mice specifically lacked cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain. In this study, we reduced L3/Lhx8 function in the murine neuroblastoma cell line, Neuro2a (N2a), using L3/Lhx8-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) produced by H1.2 promoter-driven vector. The levels of cholinergic markers per cell were diminished without a reduction in the number of marker-positive cells. Intriguingly, GABAergic marker expression and the number of GABAergic cells were dramatically increased in the differentiating L3/Lhx8-knockdown N2a. These results suggest the possibility that L3/Lhx8 is involved in the determination of transmitter phenotypes (GABAergic or cholinergic cell fate) in a population of neurons during basal forebrain development.

    Notes: The complete tack of pungency in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is controlled by a single recessive gene (c). To develop a molecular marker linked to the C locus, two segregating F2 populations (TM2 and TF2) derived from crosses between occasionally pungent and non-pungent peppers in C. annuum were used. Using the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique in combination with a bulked segregation analysis, two RAPD markers, OPD20-800 and OPY09-800, were obtained. Of the two markers, the more closely linked marker. OPY09-800, was converted into a codominant CAPS (cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence) marker using data from the alignment of the two allelic sequences. This CAPS marker was linked to the C locus (3.6 cM in the TF2 population), and polymorphism was detected among accessions within C. annuum. This marker might be helpful for the selection of a c gene in backcross and progeny tests in a conventional breeding system.

    Notes: Background : The polymorphic enzyme cytochrome P450 2C19 affects omeprazole metabolism. This influence on metabolism might affect serum gastrin levels, and safety, during long-term treatment of reflux oesophagitis.Aim : To examine the relationship between cytochrome P450 2C19 genotype and the safety profile of long-term omeprazole treatment.Methods : A total of 119 Japanese patients with recurrent reflux oesophagitis underwent cytochrome P450 2C19 genotyping prior to receiving daily omeprazole 10 mg or 20 mg for 6–12 months, during which adverse event frequency, serum gastrin levels and endoscopic findings were monitored.Results : The incidences of adverse events, serious adverse events and adverse events leading to withdrawal did not differ between homozygous extensive metabolizer (n = 46), heterozygous extensive metabolizer (n = 53) or poor metabolizer (n = 20) groups. In all genotype groups, serum gastrin increased during the first 3 months of dosing but stabilized thereafter. No significant differences were seen either in the rate of reflux oesophagitis healing or symptom improvement among genotype groups.Conclusions : Long-term treatment with omeprazole was well-tolerated in Japanese patients, irrespective of their cytochrome P450 2C19 metabolic genotype, indicating that dose adjustment depending on metabolic genotype is not required during treatment with omeprazole.
