Signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 2 (SCUBE2) belongs to a secreted and membrane-associated multi-domain SCUBE protein family. Recently, it was found to play an important role in tumor development. However, the role of SCUBE2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has never been revealed. Here, we explored the roles and mechanism of SCUBE2 in the progression of NSCLC. Our result showed...
In ovarian follicle development, estrogen acts as a regulatory molecule to mediate proliferation and differentiation of follicular cells. ERα (estrogen receptor α) exerts regulatory function classically by binding directly to the estrogen response element, recruiting co-factors and activating or repressing transcription in response to E2. In this study, we used ChIP-seq to map ERα-binding sites in...
Although purified and synthesized Cecropin A-magainin 2 (CAMA-syn) shows potent antibacterial activity in vitro, its ability to inhibit bacteria within mammal cells mediated by virus vector has not yet been investigated. To enhance its antimicrobial potential and reduce systemic side effects, it would be desirable to deliver CAMA-syn in macrophages by adenovirus vector. In this study,recombinant adenovirus...
This paper first identified differentially expressed miRNAs associated with early gastric cancer and then respectively constructed relevant connection networks among the identified differentially expressed miRNAs that corresponded to early gastric cancer and control tissues. Twenty-three differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, 18 of which were different with the related results on the same...
Hyaluronidase is a common component of scorpion venom and has been considered as “spreading factor” that promotes a fast penetration of the venom in the anaphylactic reaction. In the current study, a novel full-length of hyaluronidase BmHYI and three noncoding isoforms of BmHYII, BmHYIII and BmHYIV were cloned by using a combined strategy based on peptide sequencing and Rapid Amplification of cDNA...
Disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a multifunctional scaffold protein which plays an important role in neurogenesis and neural development in the adult brain, especially in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Accumulated research has unveiled the role of DISC1 in several aspects of neural development and neurogenesis, such as neuronal maturation, proliferation, migration, positioning,...
Tacrolimus is a widely used immunosuppressive drug in organ transplantation. The oral bioavailability of tacrolimus varies greatly between individuals and depends largely on the activity of both the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The possible influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CYP3A subfamily and P-gp (MDR-1) in liver transplant recipients has recently...
Recurrent graft infection limited the effect of LT, early recognition and prophylaxis of HBV recurrence are very important, and interleukin 28B (IL‐28B) gene was reported to be associated with HBV infection.To explore the association between IL-28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and graft re-infection after liver transplantation(LT).21 recipients with hepatitis B virus(HBV) recurrence and...
Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine, which promotes the secretions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-2 and IFN-γ. All those inflammatory cytokines can influence the CYP450 and MDR dependent drug disposition. On the other side, those cytokines can induce hepatic allograft dysfunction. We investigated the effects of serum IL-18 and IL-18 gene promoter polymorphisms on tacrolimus pharmacokinetics...
The difference in cognitive skills between humans and nonhuman primates is one of the major characters that define our own species. It was previously hypothesized that this divergence might be attributable to genetic differences at gene expression level, and the cis-regulating elements of gene 3′UTRs might play important roles in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In this study,...
