Targeting effect of microRNA on CD133 and its impact analysis on proliferation and invasion of glioma cells

MiR-200b, a member of the microRNA-200 family, has been identified to be capable of suppressing glioma cell growth through targeting CREB1 or CD133. However, whether miR-200b affects the biological behavior (proliferation, invasion, and migration) of glioma cells is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of miR-200b on the biological beh.. Read More»

Genome-wide identification and expression profiling of the fatty acid desaturase gene family in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Q.M. Chen, D.J. Cheng, S.P. Liu, Z.G. Ma, X. Tan and P. Zhao

Fatty acid desaturases exist in all living organisms and play important roles in many different biologic processes, such as fatty acid metabolism, lipid biosynthetic processes, and pheromone biosynthetic processes. Using the available silkworm genome sequence, we identified 14 candidate fatty acid desaturase genes. Eleven genes contain 3 conserved histidine cluster .. Read More»

Identification of marker genes in diabetic wounds by DNA microarray study

T. Ni1, N. Wang1, Z.G. Mao1 and M. Yao1,2

This study aimed to identify marker genes in diabetic wounds using a dataset based on a DNA microarray of dermal lymphatic endothelial cells, and our results provide a basic understanding of diabetic wounds through further study of these differentially expressed genes (DEGs). From the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we downloaded a gene expression microarray (GSE38396) that includes 8 samples.. Read More»
