As a non-human primate, the pig-tailed macaque has received wide attention because it can be infected by HIV-1. In this study, we determined the complete mtDNA sequence of the northern pig-tailed macaque (Macaca leonina). Unexpectedly, during the amplification of the mtDNA control region (D-loop region) we observed several D-loop-like sequences, which were NUMTs (nuclear mitochondrial sequences) and...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs that play a significant role in eukaryotes by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. Recent studies have also shown them to be associated with cellular changes following viral infection. Mink enteritis virus (MEV) is one of the most important viral pathogens in the mink industry. To study the involvement of miRNAs in the MEV infection...
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a stromal cell-derived cytokine that belongs to the interleukin-6 family of cytokines. IL-11 has many biological activities and has roles in hematopoiesis, immune responses, the nervous system and bone metabolism. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a mineralized tissue-specific protein expressed in differentiated osteoblasts that appears to function in the initial mineralization...
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a noncollagenous protein of the extracellular matrix in mineralized connective tissues that has been implicated in the nucleation of hydroxyapatite. Forskolin (FSK), an activator of adenylate cyclase, increased the intracellular cAMP level, which stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) is a potent mitogen in many...
Inorganic polyphosphate (poly(P)) is a biopolymer existing in almost all cells and tissues. The biological functions of poly(P) in micro-organisms have been extensively investigated in studies of poly(P) in eukaryotic cells, especially osteoblasts, and are increasing. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is thought to function in bone mineralization, and is selectively expressed by differentiated osteoblasts....
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is produced by mesenchymal cells and released by platelets following aggregation and is synthesized by osteoblasts. In bone, PDGF stimulates proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. PDGF also increases bone resorption, most likely by increasing the number of osteoclasts. Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is thought to function in the initial mineralization of bone,...
