In a previous study we reported that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a marker of ovarian reserve, is positively associated with breast cancer risk, consistent with other studies.

Assess whether risk factors for breast cancer are correlates of AMH concentration.

Cross-sectional.

3831 healthy premenopausal women (aged 21-57, 87% aged 35-49).

Ten cohort studies, general population.

Adjusting for age and cohort, we observed positive associations of AMH with age at menarche (p<0.0001) and parity (p=0.0008), and an inverse association with hysterectomy/partial oophorectomy (p=0.0008). Compared to women of normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9kg/m 2, AMH was lower (relative geometric mean difference 27%, p<0.0001) among women who were obese (BMI>30). Current oral contraceptive use and current/former smoking were associated with lower AMH concentration than never use (40% and 12% lower, respectively, p<0.0001). We observed higher AMH concentrations among women who had had a benign breast biopsy (15% higher, p=0.03), a surrogate for benign breast disease, an association that has not been reported. In analyses stratified by age (<40/≥40), associations of AMH with BMI and oral contraceptives were similar in younger and older women, while associations with the other factors (menarche, parity, hysterectomy/partial oophorectomy, smoking, and benign breast biopsy) were limited to women ≥40 (p-interaction<0.05).

This is the largest study of AMH and breast cancer risk factors among women from the general population (not presenting with infertility), and suggests that most of the associations are limited to women over 40, who are approaching menopause and whose AMH concentration is declining.

However, their applications for generic genome editing have been hindered due to difficulties of introducing the class-specific, multi-component effectors (Cascade) in heterologous hosts for functioning. Here we established a transferrable Cascade system that enables stable integration and expression of a highly active type I-F Cascade in heterologous bacterial hosts for various genetic exploitations. Using the genetically recalcitrant Pseudomonas species as a paradigm, we show that the transferred Cascade displayed substantially higher DNA interference activity and greater editing capacity than both the integrative and plasmid-borne Cas9 systems, and enabled deletion of large fragments such as the 21-kb integrated cassette with efficiency and simplicity. An advanced I-F-λred system was further developed to enable editing in genotypes with poor homologous recombination capacity, clinical isolates lacking sequence information, and cells containing anti-CRISPR elements Acrs. BMS-754807 Lastly, an 'all-in-one' I-F Cascade-mediated CRISPRi platform was developed for transcription modulation by simultaneous introduction of the Cascade and the programmed mini-CRISPR array in one-step. This study provides a framework for expanding the diverse type I Cascades for widespread, heterologous genome editing and establishment of editing techniques in 'non-model' bacterial species.Deciphering translation is of paramount importance for the understanding of many diseases, and antibiotics played a pivotal role in this endeavour. Blasticidin S (BlaS) targets translation by binding to the peptidyl transferase center of the large ribosomal subunit. Using biochemical, structural and cellular approaches, we show here that BlaS inhibits both translation elongation and termination in Mammalia. Bound to mammalian terminating ribosomes, BlaS distorts the 3'CCA tail of the P-site tRNA to a larger extent than previously reported for bacterial ribosomes, thus delaying both, peptide bond formation and peptidyl-tRNA hydrolysis. While BlaS does not inhibit stop codon recognition by the eukaryotic release factor 1 (eRF1), it interferes with eRF1's accommodation into the peptidyl transferase center and subsequent peptide release. In human cells, BlaS inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and, at subinhibitory concentrations, modulates translation dynamics at premature termination codons leading to enhanced protein production.
To develop and test machine learning classifiers (MLCs) for determining visual field progression.

In total, 90,713 visual fields from 13,156 eyes were included. Six different progression algorithms (linear regression of mean deviation, linear regression of the visual field index, Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study algorithm, Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study algorithm, pointwise linear regression [PLR], and permutation of PLR) were applied to classify each eye as progressing or stable. Six MLCs were applied (logistic regression, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, support vector classifier, convolutional neural network, fully connected neural network) using a training and testing set. For MLC input, visual fields for a given eye were divided into the first and second half and each location averaged over time within each half. Each algorithm was tested for accuracy, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and class bias with a subset of visual fields labeled by a panel of three experts from 161 eyes.

MLCs had similar performance metrics as some of the conventional algorithms and ranged from 87% to 91% accurate with sensitivity ranging from 0.83 to 0.88 and specificity from 0.92 to 0.96. All conventional algorithms showed significant class bias, meaning each individual algorithm was more likely to grade uncertain cases as either progressing or stable (P ≤ 0.01). Conversely, all MLCs were balanced, meaning they were equally likely to grade uncertain cases as either progressing or stable (P ≥ 0.08).

MLCs showed a moderate to high level of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity and were more balanced than conventional algorithms.

MLCs may help to determine visual field progression.
