Characterization and development of 56 EST-SSR markers derived from the transcriptome of Odontobutis potamophila

Expressed sequence tags (ETSs) are the sources of microsatellite development. In this study, we isolated and characterized microsatellite markers for Odontobutis potamophila by using Illumina RNA-sequencing. We sequenced a large number of ESTs and screened 200 potential microsatellites. Consequently, a total of 56 novel polymorphic mic.. Read More»

Investigations into the association between polymorphisms in the interleukin-10 gene and risk of early-onset preeclampsia

    Q.Y. Liu, F.Y. Gao, X.R. Liu, J. Li, M. Ji, J. Dong and X.T. Wang

In this case-control study, we assessed the influence of IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C on the development of preeclampsia. The IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C polymorphisms were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The genotype distributions of the IL-10 -1082A/G and -819T/C polymorphisms in the control subjects were in conformance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibr.. Read More»

Differential expression of luteinizing hormone receptor, androgen receptor and heat-shock protein 70 in the testis of long-distance transported mice

    L.P. Sun, Y.P. Song, J.J. Liu, X.R. Liu, A.Z. Guo and L.G. Yang

Spermatogenesis, is a complex process of precisely regulated intracellular events, where it is affected by many factors. Long-distance transport of animals is one of the stressors that may influence spermatogenesis and sperm quality. The present study chose luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), androgen receptor (AR), and heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) as our target genes to investigate their mRNA.. Read More»

De novo assembly and characterization of the root transcriptome and development of simple sequence repeat markers in Paphiopedilum concolor

    D.M. Li, C.Y. Zhao, X.R. Liu, X.F. Liu, Y.J. Lin, J.W. Liu, H.M. Chen and F.B. Lǚ

Paphiopedilum orchids (Orchidaceae) have attracted much attention from botanists and horticulturists because of their peculiar leaves and beautiful flowers. Furthermore, the dry roots of Paphiopedilum plants have well-known medicinal uses. However, it is unknown how sensitive and plastic the root genes are to environmental changes or how these environmental changes regulate the biosynthesis of .. Read More»

Association study of c.910A>G and c.1686C>G polymorphisms in XRCC1 gene with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in the Chinese population

    W.F. Xia, X.P. Ma, X.R. Li, H. Dong and J.L. Yi

XRCC1 (human X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cell 1) gene is considered a potentially important gene influencing the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our analyses detected two allelic variants of XRCC1, c.910A>G and c.1686C>G. We aimed to investigate whether these polymorphisms influence the risk of HCC. The association be.. Read More»

PI3K, AKT, and P-AKT levels in thin endometrium

    A.W. Le1, L.L. Shan1, X.Y. Dai1, T.H. Xiao1, X.R. Li1, Z.H. Wang1, J. Zhang2 and X.Y. Chen3

The aim of this study was to explore the expression of PI3K, AKT, and P-AKT, and to investigate the role of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in thin endometrium. We included 40 women treated in affiliated Shenzhen Nanshan People’s Hospital of Guangdong Medical University for endometrial conditions between August 2013 and January 2015, 20 with a normal endometrium, and 20 with thin endometrium. ..
