A Simple Method for Elimination of False Positive Results in RT-PCR
Martel, Fatima,Grundemann, Dirk,Schomig, Edgar 생화학분자생물학회 1997 BMB Reports Vol.35 No.2
Discrimination between the amplification of mRNA and contaminating genomic DNA is a common problem when performing a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Even after treatment of the samples with DNAse, it is possible that negative controls (samples in which no reverse transcriptase was added) will give positive results. This indicates that there was amplification of DNA, which was not generated during the reverse transcriptase step. The possibility exists that Taq DNA polymerase acts as a reverse transcriptase, generating cDNA from RNA during the PCR step. In order to test this hypothesis, we incubated samples with a DNAse-free RNAse after the cDNA synthesis. Comparison of the results that were obtained from these samples (incubated with or without DNAse-free RNAse) confirms that the reverse transcriptase activity of Taq DNA polymerase I is a possible source of false positive results when performing RT-PCR from intronless genes. Moreover, we describe here a simple and rapid method to overcome the false positive results that originate by this activity of Taq polymerase.

Characteristics of Thiamine Uptake by the BeWo Human Trophoblast Cell Line
Keating, Elisa,Lemos, Clara,Azevedo, Isabel,Martel, Fatima Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biol 2006 Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology Vol.39 No.4
Little is known concerning the mechanisms responsible for the transplacental transfer of thiamine. So, the aim of this work was to characterize the placental uptake of thiamine from the maternal circulation, by determining the characteristics of $^3H$-thiamine uptake by a human trophoblast cell line (BeWo). Uptake of $^3H$-thiamine (50-100 nM) by BeWo cells was: 1) temperature-dependent and energy-independent; 2) pH-dependent (uptake increased as the extracellular medium pH decreased); 3) $Na^+$-dependent and $Cl^-$-independent; 4) not inhibited by the thiamine structural analogs amprolium, oxythiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate; 5) inhibited by the unrelated organic cations guanidine, N-methylnicotinamide, tetraethylammonium, clonidine and cimetidine; 6) inhibited by the organic cation serotonin, and by two selective inhibitors of the serotonin plasmalemmal transporter (hSERT), fluoxetine and desipramine. We conclude that $^3H$-thiamine uptake by BeWo cells seems to occur through a process distinct from thiamine transporter-1 (hThTr-1) and thiamine transporter-2 (hThTr-2). Rather, it seems to involve hSERT. Moreover, chronic (48 h) exposure of cells to caffeine ($1\;{\mu}M$) stimulated and chronic exposure to xanthohumol and iso-xanthohumol (1 and $0.1\;{\mu}M$, respectively) inhibited $^3H$-thiamine uptake, these effects being not mediated through modulation of the expression levels of either hThTr-1 or hSERT mRNA.
