Expression of CPEB1 gene affects the cycle of ovarian granulosa cells from adult and young goats

Background: CPEB is considered as an RNA-binding protein first identified in Xenopus oocytes. Although CPEB1 was involved in the growth of oocyte, its role in goat follicular granulosa cell has not been fully elucidated. To clarify the functions of this gene in goat follicular granulosa cells, CPEB1-over...

Avaliação da expressão de TollLike Receptors (TLR), e fatores de transcrição MPKp38 e NFBp65 em pacientes com carcinoma escamoso de pênis

Introdução: A modulação do processo inflamatório por TLRs pode ser um fator chave no desenvolvimento e progressão tumoral, induzindo tanto a respostas pró-tumorais, como anti-tumorais, muitas vezes através da regulação da sinalização pela NF-B e subsequente produção de fatores de crescim...

CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) gene haploinsufficiency does not alter hematopoiesis or induce leukemia in Lck-CALM/AF10 transgenic mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (6), 2019
Although rare, CALM/AF10 is a chromosomal rearrangement found in immature T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), acute myeloid leukemia, and mixed phenotype acute leukemia of T/myeloid lineages with poor prognosis. Moreover, this translocation is detected in 50% of T-ALL patients with gamma/delta T...

Regulation of HPV transcription

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018
Human papillomavirus infection is associated with the development of malignant and benign neoplasms. Approximately 40 viral types can infect the anogenital mucosa and are categorized into high- and low-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus, depending on their association with the development of cervical ca...

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between the Asp1104His polymorphism of the nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC5 and treatment sensitivity to oxaliplatin in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) in China. METHODS: A group of 226 patients in the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Z...

The rs878081 polymorphism of AIRE gene increases the risk of rheumatoid arthritis in a Chinese Han population: a case-control study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (12), 2018
The autoimmune regulator (AIRE), a transcriptional regulator expressed in medullary thymic epithelial cells, plays an important role in thymocyte education and negative selection. Several citations studying the association between the rs878081 exon polymorphism of the AIRE gene and the risk of rheumatoid...

Decreased expression of chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 9 is a novel independent prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (9), 2018
Previous studies suggested that chromodomain helicase DNA-binding proteins (CHDs), including CHD 1-8, were associated with several human diseases and cancers including lymphoma, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, etc. To date, little research on CHD 9 in human cancers has been reported. In ...

Identification of key genes involved in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common cancer originating from the nasopharynx. Objective: To study the mechanisms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we analyzed GSE12452 microarray data. Methods: GSE12452 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and included 31 n...

Improvement of clavulanic acid production in Streptomyces clavuligerus F613-1 by using a claR-neo reporter strategy

Background: Streptomyces clavuligerus was the producer of clavulanic acid, claR, a pathway-specific transcriptional regulator in S. clavuligerus, positively regulates clavulanic acid biosynthesis. In this study, the promoter-less kanamycin resistance gene neo was fused with claR to obtain strain NEO from...
