Differential expression of genes associated with low-level vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Auttawit Sirichoat, Viraphong Lulitanond, Sujintana Wongthong, Aroonwadee Chanawong, Ratree Tavichakorntrakool and Aroonlug Lulitanond
Heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) have been associated with treatment failure, and hVISA cannot be detected by routine disc diffusion test. Currently, there is no specific genetic marker for detection of these strains. The aim of the current study was to inves.. Read More»

Expression of HCN and sodium channels in murine model of Type I diabetes
Authors: Anantha Maharasi Rama Krishnan and Kavitha Sankaranarayanan
Pancreatic apoptosis is an important event in the pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes. It is characterized by secretion and binding of inflammatory cytokines to the pancreatic islets, that activate downstream signaling mechanism. These signaling mechanisms finally increase intracellular calcium level and that lead to the activation of apoptotic pathways. Ion .. Read More»

Comparing KISS1 and GPR54 genes between the two breeds of goats with low and high prolificacy
Authors: Jie Zheng, Sayed Haidar Abbas Raza, Xiang-Dong Zi, Jian-Yuan Lu
There is increasing evidence that kisspeptin, the peptide product of KISS1 gene and its receptor (GPR54), regulate reproductive processes through actions on other organs than hypothalamus. Therefore, the study for the first time, was conducted to investigate the nucleotide sequences and mRNA expression levels of KISS1 and GPR54 genes in pituitary, endomet.. Read More»

Sub-lethal doses of neonicotinoid and carbamate insecticides reduce the lifespan and alter the expression of immune health and detoxification related genes of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Authors: Hassan Tarek, Mollah Md. Hamiduzzaman, Nuria Morfin and Ernesto Guzman-Novoa
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are exposed to sublethal doses of insecticides, but little is known about insecticide effects on their survivorship associated to health-related gene expression. To test the effect of sublethal doses of clothianidin, imidacloprid and carbaryl on the lifespan and health of honey bees, workers were or.. Read More»

Expression of lipid metabolism and myosin heavy chain genes in pigs is affected by genotype and dietary lysine
Authors: RC Veloso, PS Lopes, MS Duarte, FF Silva, A Saraiva, ML Chizzotti, W Silva and SEF Guimar?£es
Expression of lipid metabolism and myosin heavy chain genes was evaluated in skeletal muscle of pig’s genotypes submitted to different dietary digestible lysine contents. Fifty-two barrows and fifty gilts from three genotypes (G: Piau, Duroc and Pietrain crossbreds) were assigned to three dietary digestible lysine conten.. Read More»

Screening and identification of candidate genes essential for cervical lymph node metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma with microarrays
Authors: Ming Fu, Yudong Ye, Chi Zhang, Zhuo Chen, Zhenchao Zhu, Yang Peng, Xiangning Zhang, Qianhui Qiu
The aim of the present study is to identify genes that are crucial for the cervical lymph node metastasis, which predicts poor prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), endemic in southern China. Microarrays with probes to determine genomic expression profile and promoter methylation status in tumor specimens were used, to .. Read More»

Analysis of melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages
Authors: M.M. Lira-Carrera, B.E. Guti?©rrez-Amavizca, L.J. ?lvarez-Araujo, M. Aguirre-Ram?rez and J.A. P?©rez-Le?³n
Melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells that mediate non-visual responses to light. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages and compare its expression with the prototypic gene of retinal ganglion cells (Thy..

Cadmium accumulation and metallothionein gene expression in the liver of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) collected from the Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand
Authors: M. Wahid, S. Prasarnpun and N. Yimtragool
Cadmium (Cd) is produced mainly as a by-product of zinc mining. In Thailand, the largest zinc mine is located in the Mae Sot district, Tak Province. Samples of Monopterus albus were collected from paddy fields in 4 sites, three downstream and one upstream from the zinc mine. The upstream site was considered to be uncontaminate.. Read More»

Cloning and functional characterization of the HbSYR1 gene encoding a syntaxin-related protein in Tibetan hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum HK. f.)
Authors: Q.J. Xu, Y.L. Wang, Z.X. Wei, H.J. Yuan, X.Q. Zeng and N. Tashi
Tibetan barley is a staple food for the natives of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Drought causes a reduction in barley production. In this study, the full-length cDNA of a gene encoding a syntaxin-associated protein was cloned from the leaves of a drought-resistant variety of barley, “Himalaya 10”; its expression was evalu..
