Gene expression profile of Scardovia spp. in the metatranscriptome of root caries

Abstract A few investigations of caries biofilms have identified Scardovia spp.; however, little is known about its involvement in caries pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to assess the gene expression profile of Scardovia spp. in root caries, and compare it with other microorganisms. Clinical ...

The comprehensive detection of miRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA in regulation of mouse melanocyte and skin development

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Pigmentation development, is a complex process regulated by many transcription factors during development. With the development of the RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), non-coding RNAs, such as miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, are found to play an important role in the function detection of related reg...

Identification of potential molecular mechanisms and small molecule drugs in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (9), 2020
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury is a complex phenomenon that causes severe damage to the myocardium. However, the potential molecular mechanisms of MI/R injury have not been fully clarified. We identified potential molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targets in MI/R injury through analysis...

In-depth transcriptome reveals the potential biotechnological application of Bothrops jararaca venom gland

Lack of complete genomic data of Bothrops jararaca impedes molecular biology research focusing on biotechnological applications of venom gland components. Identification of full-length coding regions of genes is crucial for the correct molecular cloning design. Methods: RNA was extracted from the venom ...

Minor temperature shifts do not affect chromosomal ploidy but cause transcriptomic changes in Leishmania braziliensis promastigotes in vitro

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND The leishmaniases are complex neglected diseases caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Leishmania braziliensis is the main etiological agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the New World. In recent studies, genomic changes such as chromosome and gene copy number variations (CNV...

Functional and genomic characterization of three novel cell lines derived from a metastatic gallbladder cancer tumor

Biol. Res; 53 (), 2020
BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common tumor of the biliary tract. The incidence of GBC shows a large geographic variability, being particularly frequent in Native American populations. In Chile, GBC represents the second cause of cancer-related death among women. We describe here the es...

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Cysticercus ovis from Egypt based on MT-CO1 gene sequences

Abstract Cysticercus ovis or sheep measles is the larval stage of Taenia ovis, which is the intestinal tapeworm of dogs. It is found in the cardiac and skeletal muscles of sheep and can be the cause of partial or total condemnation of carcasses at abattoirs. The aim of the current work was to determine t...

Screening and analysis on the differentially expression genes between diploid and autotetraploid watermelon by using of digital gene expression profile

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract Synthetic polyploids are key breeding materials for watermelon. Compared with diploid watermelon, the tetraploid watermelon often exhibit wide phenotypic differences and differential gene expression. Digital gene expression (DGE) profile technique was performed in this study to present gene exp...

Comparação entre os perfis de expressão de microRNAs em Linfomas de Hodgkin Clássico

Introdução: Linfoma de Hodgkin (LH) é um dos linfomas mais frequentes no mundo ocidental, com cerca de 3 a 4 novos casos a cada 100 mil pessoas. Os microRNAs são pequenas moléculas que regulam a transcrição gênica e estão associadas ao desenvolvimento e progressão das neoplasias. Em LH clássic...

Gene expression profiling reveals upregulated FUT1 and MYBPC1 in children with pancreaticobiliary maljunction

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (8), 2019
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is associated with high risk of epithelial atypical growth and malignant transformation of the bile duct or gallbladder. However, overall changes in genetic expression have not been examined in children with PBM. Genome-wide expression was analyzed using peripheral bl...
