Optimization of the Light-On system in a lentiviral platform to a light-controlled expression of genes in neurons

BACKGROUND: Molecular brain therapies require the development of molecular switches to control gene expression in a limited and regulated manner in time and space. Light-switchable gene systems allow precise control of gene expression with an enhanced spatio-temporal resolution compared to chemical induc...

Caprine lentivirus in sheep milk and semen

With the objective of detecting the presence of caprine lentivirus (CLV) in ewe milk and in ram semen, ten matrixes and four reproducers experimentally infected with CLV were used. Samples of ewe milk were collected during the four months of lactation, five collections per animal, totaling 50 samples. Re...

Goat umbilical cord cells are permissive to small ruminant lentivirus infection in vitro

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (1), 2017
Abstract Small ruminant lentiviruses isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes and target organs can be propagated in vitro in fibroblasts derived from goat synovial membrane cells. These cells are obtained from tissues collected from embryos or fetuses and are necessary for the establishment of the fibr...

Knockdown of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 39 inhibited the growth of osteosarcoma cells and induced apoptosis in vitro

Biol. Res; 50 (), 2017
BACKGROUND: Ubiquitin specific peptidase 39 (USP39), an essential factor in the assembly of the mature spliceosome complex, has an aberrant expression in several cancer. However, its function and the corresponding mechanism on human osteosarcoma has not been fully explored yet. METHODS: The mRNA and DNA ...

Knockdown of ZFR suppresses cell proliferation and invasion of human pancreatic cancer

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Zinc finger RNA binding protein (ZFR) is involved in the regulation of growth and cancer development. However, little is known about ZFR function in pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Herein, to investigate whether ZFR is involved in tumor growth, Oncomine microarray data was firstly used to evaluat...

Lentivirus mediated silencing of Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 39 inhibits cell proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 39 (USP39) is a 65 kDa SR-related protein involved in RNA splicing. Previous studies showed that USP39 is related with tumorigenesis of human breast cancer cells. RESULTS: In the present study, we investigated the functions of USP39 in human hepatocellular carcino...

Avaliação de antígenos para o diagnóstico de lentivírus em rebanho caprino sob programa de controle

Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar os resultados do diagnóstico do Lentivírus Caprino, por Imunodifusão em Gel de ágar - IDGA, utilizando o kit comercial americano e o kit nacional produzido com cepa CAEV Cork. Foram utilizados dois rebanhos, sendo um da Embrapa Caprinos submetido a doze anos ...

Lentivírus de pequenos ruminantes (CAEV e Maedi-visna): revisäo e perspectivas
Lentiviruses of small ruminants (CAEV and Maedi-Visna): a review and perspectives

Pesqui. vet. bras; 21 (3), 2001
Os lentivírus de pequenos ruminantes (SRLV), cujos protótipos säo os vírus da Artrite-Encefalite Caprina (CAEV) e Maedi-Visna, säo patógenos amplamente distribuidos, os quais causam doenças degenerativas progressivas lentas em caprinos e ovinos, determinando importantes perdas econômicas. Estes v...
