PURPOSE: To evaluate genes differentially expressed in ovaries from lean (wild type) and obese (ob/ob) female mice and cyclic AMP production in both groups.METHODS: The expression on messenger RNA levels of 84 genes conc...

Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is an oviductal fluid component whose activity is regulated by binding to urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). In this study uPAR and uPA gene expression in bov...

Background: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly prevalent and lethal malignancy. The orphan cytokine receptor-like factor 3, although evolutionarily conserved and implicated in hematopoiesis and neuroprotection, r...

Abstract Medicinal leeches are rich in various antithrombotic components, holding significant pharmaceutical value. To investigate the differences in potential antithrombotic capacity among species, this study utilized t...

Senescence and degreening are the most important features that determine loss of quality during postharvest of broccoli. During senescence, chlorophylls are degraded with the purpose of avoiding presence of photoactive m...

BackgroundEstrogen receptor (ER)-low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer shares similar pathological and molecular features with triple-negative breast cancer, yet the utility of the 21...

ABSTRACT Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) thrives in subtropical and tropical areas but is vulnerable to winter cold stress. The myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factor family plays an important role in plant biolo...

Abstract Vertebrate chemoreceptor genes play a central role in detecting environmental chemical compounds through the olfactory organs and taste buds, enabling the perception of odors and tastants that are critical for s...

Abstract Background Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) comprise a heterogeneous group of developmental disorders with diverse genetic etiologies. However, it remains unclear whether these geneti...

Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that antimicrobial resistance has become a great threat. This study focuses on and investigates the effect of some natural compounds on the expression of efflux pump genes th...

Abstract Background In dogs with a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS), outcome after surgical attenuation is difficult to predict. Objectives Develop a minimally invasive test to predict outcome after su...

PURPOSE: To investigate protein expression and mutations in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in patients with stage IB cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and the association with clinical-pathologic features, t...

Abstract Background Zanthoxylum armatum is a vital economic crop in China, but its cultivation is challenged by abiotic stresses like drought and cold. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) are central signal...

Animal promoters initiate transcription either at precise positions (narrow promoters) or dispersed regions (broad promoters), a distinction referred to as promoter shape. Although highly conserved, the functional proper...

ABSTRACT Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are regulatory elements present in the 5′ leaders of mRNA that can significantly impact downstream gene expression in eukaryotes. In crop engineering, editing of uORFs can ...

Context: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b (STAT5b) deficiency, first reported in a patient who carried a p.Ala630Pro missense mutation in the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, results in a rare clinical con...

Expression of the bacterial luciferase (lux) system in mammalian cells would culminate in a new generation of bioreporters for in vivo monitoring and diagnostics technology. Past efforts to express bacterial luciferase i...

Abstract This study aimed to develop a bile-responsive expression system for lactobacilli. The promoters of four genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase (mannose-specific), L-lactate dehydr...

Abstract The MYB transcription factor family is one of the largest and most functionally diverse groups of transcription factors in angiosperms. Members of this family participate in a wide array of biological processes,...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in cell processes and are good candi-dates for cancer risk prediction. Few studies have investigated the association between individual genotypes and lncRNA expression. Here w...

Expression of immediate-early genes, like Egr-1, has been shown to be induced by activity-dependent synaptic plasticity or behavioral training and is widely thought to play an important role in long-term memory (LTM) for...

Abstract As an initial study to elucidate the molecular mechanism of how probiotics modulate macrophage activity, we monitored mRNA expression patterns in peritoneal macrophages (PMs) treated with two different strains o...

Abstract Assembly geometric error as a part of the machine tool system errors has a significant influence on the machining accuracy of the multi-axis machine tool. And it cannot be eliminated due to the error propagation...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of miRNAs differentially expressed in serum exosomes on endothelial cells after myocardial infarction. Design & methods Specific pathogen-free male Sprague–...
