Purpose It has been increasingly suggested that specific microRNAs expression profiles in the circulation and atrial tissue are associated with the susceptibility to atrial fibrillation. Nonetheless, the role of circulating microRNAs in Graves’ disease patients with atrial fibrillation has not yet been well described. The objective of the study was to identify the role of circulating microRNAs as...
The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between E-cadherin gene (CDH1) polymorphisms and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) risk predisposition. We undertook a case–control study to analyze three CDH1 polymorphisms (+54T>C, −160C>A, and −347G→GA) in an Han Chinese population, by extraction of genomic DNA from the peripheral blood of 98 patients with PTC and 176 control participants,...
There is a widespread interest in defining factors and mechanisms that stimulate proliferation of pancreatic islet β-cells. Pregnancy is a special periods when the pancreatic islet display a highly reproducible physiological proliferation. However, the molecular mechanism of β-cell proliferation during pregnancy is unclear. Here, we used cDNA expression array to explore gene expression profiles of...
During pregnancy, the pancreatic islets undergo major structural and functional changes in response to increased peripheral resistance to insulin. In this study, we investigated the adaptive changes of the pancreatic islet beta-cell mass during pregnancy in rats, and explored profiles of islet gene expression at various stages of pregnancy. Some differentially expressed genes were verified by RT-PCR...
