Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a novel class of noncoding RNAs that are involved in a variety of biological processes and human diseases. Recent evidence suggested that lncRNAs were associated with cardiac disorders. However, the roles of lncRNAs in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remain elusive. The purpose of the present study was to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs in PAF...
Epigenetic modifications are critical determinants in tumor initiation and progression. This study aims to detect the promoter methylation status and the mRNA expression levels of ATG2B, ATG4D, ATG9A and ATG9B, and then to explore their relationship in invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) and matched normal tissues (MNTs) of the breast. Methylation was observed as follows: 61.0% in ATG2B, 46.8% in ATG4D,...
PCBs are a family of persistent environmental toxicants with a wide spectrum of toxic features, such as immunotoxicity, hepatoxicity, endocrine disruption effects, and oncogenic effects. To date, little has been done to investigate the potential influence of PCB exposure on iron metabolism. Deregulated iron would lead to either iron deficiency or iron excess, coupled with various diseases such as...
The cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme (CYP2D6) metabolizes about 25% of prescribed drugs in the endoplasmic reticulum, and genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 can greatly affect its activity and lead to differences among individuals in drug efficacy and adverse drug reactions. To investigate genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 among Tibetan Chinese, we directly sequenced the whole gene in 96 unrelated, healthy Tibetans...
