Genetic defect is a major cause of early miscarriage, but still in many cases the etiology are not fully understood. Recent studies have shown that dysregulation of genes in placenta tissue are participated in the pathogenesis of unexplained early miscarriage. The aim of our study is to explore mRNA expression profile in placental chorionic villi and to reveal the underlying mechanism of unexplained...
Silk gland is a silkworm organ where silk proteins are synthesized and secreted. Dietary supplement of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) promotes silk protein synthesis in silkworms. In this study, digital gene expression (DGE) tag was used to analyze the gene expression profile of the posterior silk gland of silkworms that were fed with TiO2 NPs. In total, 5,702,823 and 6,150,719 clean tags, 55,096 and 74,715...
Serpins are a family of serine protease inhibitors that are found widely in insects. They play an important role in insect physiological responses, such as innate immunity and development. In this study, we obtained the Bombyx mori serpin6 (BmSerpin6) sequence from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the silkworm genome database (SilkDB). Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) results...
Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) may be involved in blood pressure regulation by inactivation of angiotensin II and generation of bradykinin. Our previous study with cDNA microarray indicated that the expression of ERAP1 is down-regulated in essential hypertension (EH) patients. Since the 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) is known to play an important role in the post-transcriptional regulation...
The Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a large family of multifunctional enzymes, many of which play an important role in the detoxification of endogenous and exogenous toxic substances. In this research, firstly, we measured the rutin-induced transcriptional level of BmGSTd1 gene by using real-time quantitative RT-PCR method and dual spike-in strategy. The activities of the BmGSTd1 promoter in...
Mutations of CYP17A1 gene could cause complete or partial, combined or isolated 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase enzyme deficiencies (17OHD). We intended to investigate the CYP17A1 mutation in five unrelated patients and analyze its possible influence on phenotype of an atypical 17OHD patient presented with micropenis, hypertension and intermittent hypokalemia. Steroid hormones were assayed in these patients...
