Multiple sclerosis (MS) as the most common autoimmune disorder in the central nervous system is a major health problem. MS is a complex disease with multiple environmental and genetic factors participating in it. In the present study, we evaluated the expression of 3 genes named BCL2, CASP2 and CASP8 in peripheral blood of 50 MS patients and 50 healthy co.. Read More»

We investigated the effects of BCL2 transfection on the cell cycle and proliferation of GES-1 cells. A pcDNA3-BCL2 plasmid was used to transfect GES-1 cell line human gastric epithelial cells. Clones were obtained by G418 screening. BCL2-positive cells were identified by fluorescence immunohistochemistry. The pcDNA3-BCL2 vecto.. Read More»

Healthy radio-exposed individuals who received low levels of Cesium-137 radiation during the accident that occurred in GoiÃ?¢nia in 1987, their families and controls were tested for the detection of t(14;18)-rearranged B cells in peripheral blood by using a highly sensitive, real-time quantitative PCR method. The chromosomal translocation t(14;18)(q32;q21) .. Read More»

We evaluated changes in BAX and BCL2 expression levels after spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury (SCII) and hypothermia during operations in rats. Eighty rats were divided into four groups: Group A (N = 20, 18°C); Group B (N = 20, 28°C); Group C (N = 20, room temperature); and Group D (N = 20, sham operation control). Spinal cord ischemia was .. Read More»
