Efeito da infecção experimental por Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans e Streptococcus gordonii sobre a expressão de genes associados à barreira intestinal e inflamação, níveis séricos de LPS e reabsorção do osso alveolar em modelo murino
Association of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Streptococcus gordonii for induction of experimental periodontitis in mice

Periodontite é uma doença inflamatória, induzida por uma microbiota disbiótica, que tem sido associada a uma série de condiçoes sistêmicas, como diabetes e doenças cardiovasculares. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans é o patógeno mais associado à previamente chamada periodontite agressiva, ...

In silico evaluation of the gene expression profile of syndecan-4 in different breast tumor subtypes

ABCS health sci; 49 (), 2024
INTRODUCTION: Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women. Luminal tumors A and B show good response with hormonal treatments, tumors that overexpress HER-2 can be treated with monoclonal antibodies, whereas triple negative tumors have few treatments available because they present low or ab...

Improvement of Na+-K+ ATPase Activity and Gene Expression Associated with Glomerular Ultrastructural Protection in Diabetic Nephropathy by Acacia senegal: Role of Oxidative Stress Disturbances

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: This study assessed the effects of Acacia Senegal (AS) combined with insulin on Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity and mRNA expression, serum glucose, renal function, and oxidative stress in a rat model of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Sixty rats were equally divided into six groups: normal control, norm...

Estrogen deficiency influences SEC23A gene expression in the odontogenic region of incisors – a murine model study

Braz. dent. sci; 27 (1), 2024
Recent scientific evidence suggests a close relationship between estrogen deficiency and vitamin D- related genes. Estrogen and vitamin D were involved with alterations in odontogenesis and tooth eruption process. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of estrogen deficienc...

Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells gene expression involvement in porcine liver transplant experimental model

Acta cir. bras; 39 (), 2024
Purpose: Gene expressions of vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Alpha (VEGFa), Nuclear Factor Kappa-Light-Chain-Enhancer of Activated B cells (NFkB) and cytokines could be useful for identifying potential therapeutic targets to alleviate ischemia-reperfusion injury after liver transplantation. Cytokine g...

Efeito do cigarro eletrônico na saliva e no epitélio da mucosa bucal
Effect of electronic cigarettes on saliva and oral mucosal epithelium

A utilização indiscriminada de cigarros eletrônicos (e-cigs) já representa um problema de saúde pública mundial e pouco se sabe quanto aos efeitos de seu uso sobre a saúde bucal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do uso do e-cig na saliva e na mucosa bucal de seus usuários. Foram for...

microRNAs e seus mecanismos de regulação gênica na toxoplasmose gestacional

A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose cosmopolita e quando a infecção ocorre durante a gravidez (toxoplasmose gestacional) o parasita pode atravessar a placenta, causando a forma congênita, e causar danos graves. Investigar como os microRNAs regulam a infecção pode oferecer informações valiosas sobre sua ...

Ethyl acetate extract of Clausena execavata promotes growth inhibition of Burkitt’s lymphoma cell line via apoptotic activities

Clausena excavata is a famous folklore medicinal plant in Asian region that is being used for the treatment of different disorders. This study investigated the cytotoxic effects of leaf extracts via MTT assay, as well as the in vitro apoptotic activities of the ethyl acetate C. excavata leaf extract (E...

High-intensity interval training (treadmill) effects in myokines and endoplasmic reticulum stress of calf muscles in obese mice

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Obesity is commonly associated with chronic tissue inflammation and skeletal muscle dysfunction. The study aimed to investigate the effects of High-Intensity Interval training (HIIT) on myokines and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress of diet- induced obese (DIO) mice. Three-month-old C57BL/6 male...

Identification of novel biomarkers with potential for diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer: a bioinformatics approach

ABCS health sci; 48 (), 2023
INTRODUCTION: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most diagnosed neoplasia and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. A substantial number of patients exhibit an advanced GC stage once diagnosed. Therefore, the search for biomarkers contributes to the improvement and development of therapies. OBJ...
