New-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is a common complication after liver transplantation (LT). The small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) rs237025 polymorphism has been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of donor and recipient SUMO4 rs237025 polymorphisms with NODM and the long-term consequences of NODM after LT.A total...
Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (H.a. anatolicum) (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks are globally distributed ectoparasites with veterinary and medical importance. These ticks not only weaken animals by sucking their blood but also transmit different species of parasitic protozoans. Multiple factors influence these parasitic infections including miRNAs, which are non-coding, small regulatory RNA molecules essential...
Complement component C8 beta was a key molecule in the complement system, mediating the MAC formation and the bacterial lysis. In this study, the full-length C8 beta (EcC8 beta) was obtained, containing a 5′UTR of 25bp, an ORF of 1764bp and a 3′UTR of 198bp. The EcC8 beta gene encoded a protein of 587 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 65.87kDa and a predicted isoelectric point (pI) of...
Imprinted genes play important roles in mammalian growth, development and behavior. The Rasgrf1 (Ras protein-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1) gene has been identified as an imprinted gene in mouse and rat. In the present study, we detected its sequence, imprinting status and expression pattern in the domestic pigs. A 228bp partial sequence located in exon 14 and a 193bp partial sequence...
The effect of ABCB1 C3435T SNP on the pharmacokinetics of immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus in different studies was conflicting. So a meta-analysis was employed to study the correlation of ABCB1 C3435T SNP and the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus at different post-transplantation times.Several studies about ABCB1 C3435T polymorphism and the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus were collected through the...
Previous research has identified METCAM/MUC18, an integral membrane cell adhesion molecule (CAM) in the Ig-like gene super-family, as a promoter or a suppressor in the development of human breast cancer by MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468. To resolve these conflicting results we have investigated the role of this CAM in the progression of the three aforementioned cell lines plus one additional human...
To understand the systematic status of Larimichthys crocea in the Percoidei, we determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence using 454 sequencing-by-synthesis technology. The complete mt genome is 16,466 bp in length including the typical structure of 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes and the noncoding control region (CR). Further sequencing for the complete CR was performed...
Variations in transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) activity depend on the expression of specific receptors in normal as well as transformed cells. For example, in addition to mutations in TGF-β type II receptor (TβRII) that abrogate normal TGF-β function, its expression decreases during the transition from replication to extracellular matrix production, or in response to other growth regulators in...
