There are many published studies on therapy resistance in breast and prostate cancers; however, there are currently no data on molecular markers associated with resistance. The conflicting data were reported regarding the AKT/m-TOR signaling pathway components as markers predicting resistance. The AKT/m-TOR signaling pathway is involved in the development of many human cancers; its activation is related to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, as well as to therapy resistance. Molecular alterations in the AKT/m-TOR signaling pathway provide a platform to identify universal markers associated with the development of resistance to cancer therapy.展开更多

Concentration and gradient experiments for four components （enzyme, MgCl2, DNA template and dNTPs） in PCR system were used in the research with the concentration of the other component remained the same; the orthogonal design L9 （34） was applied in the optimization of four sets of primers （STM0014, Pat, SSI, and UGP） in the reaction system at three levels; the temperature gradient selection was used to find out the optimum annealing temperature for the primer. The optimized multiplex PCR system of potato SSR marker with a total volume of 20 μL ： 2.5 μL 25 mmol.L-1 MgCl2, 0.6 μL 10 mmol·L-1 dNTPs, 0.8 U Taq, 80 ng DNA template was ultimately established through the comparison and analysis of test results; the ratio of four pairs of 4 mmol. L1 primers was 2 ： 1 ： 2 ： 3, and the annealing temperature was 54.7℃. The optimized reaction system could be repeated stably; and the stable and reliable amplification results were able to clearly distinguish different potato varieties. This research built the solid foundation for the further study of genetic diversity of potato germplasms and construction of DNA fingerprinting..展开更多
