In silico investigation of heparanase-correlated genes in breast cancer subtypes

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the possible genes that may be related to the mechanisms that modulate heparanase-1. Methods The analysis was conducted at Universidade Federal de São Paulo, on the data provided by: The Cancer Genome Atlas, University of California Santa Cruz Genome Browser, Kyoto ...

Construction of an RNAi vector for knockdown of GM-ACS genes in the cotyledonary nodes of soybean

Background: Ethylene plays an important role in the regulation of floral organ development in soybean, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) is a rate-limiting enzyme for ethylene biosynthesis. However, whether ACS also regulates floral organ differentiation in soybean remains unknown. To ...

Validity of Klotho, CYR61 and YKL-40 as ideal predictive biomarkers for acute kidney injury: review study

Säo Paulo med. j; 135 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is still a headache for clinicians and scientists as a possible reason for increased death among intensive care unit (ICU) patients after invasive cardiac surgery. Furthermore, the diagnostic process for AKI using conventional biomarkers is not ...

Efficient regeneration and genetic transformation platform applicable to five Musa varieties

Background: Banana (Musa spp.) is an important staple food, economic crop, and nutritional fruit worldwide. Conventional breeding has been seriously hampered by their long generation time, polyploidy, and sterility of most cultivated varieties. Establishment of an efficient regeneration and transformatio...

Serum Klotho (but not haplotypes) associate with the post-myocardial infarction status of older adults

Clinics; 71 (12), 2016
OBJECTIVES: The number of deaths from vascular diseases is incredibly high worldwide, and reliable markers for major events are still needed. The current cross-sectional study investigated the association of Klotho haplotypes and Klotho serum levels with classic risk factors and a clinical history of vas...

Expression of heparanase in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

An. bras. dermatol; 91 (5), 2016
Abstract: Background: Heparanase is an enzyme that cleaves heparan sulfate chains. Oligosaccharides generated by heparanase induce tumor progression. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma comprise types of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Objectives: Evaluate the glycosaminoglycans profile and expre...

Effect of Cocus nucifera on beta-glucoronidade and fecal mucinase activity experimental colon cancer

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 10 (3), 1995
Foram analisados os efeitos da Cocos nucifera (polpa de noz de coco) na atividade de beta-glucoronidase e mucinase fecal de animais, aos quais foi administrada a 1,2-dimetiltrazina, com o objetivo de induzir aparecimento de cancer do colon. Os animais foram divididos em tres grupos (grupo 2 que recebeu a...

Identificación rápida de escherichia coli en muestras de orina
Quick identification of escherichia coli in urine samples

Rev. chil. infectol; 12 (3), 1995
El microorganismo gram negativo que se aisla con mayor frecuencia en muestras clínicas es escherichia coli. Con el objeto de identificar en forma rápida la presencia de escherichia coli en los urocultivos, se ensayó un sistema de identificación acortado que incluyó prueba de oxidasa, indol y activid...
