Genome-wide identification and characterization of the Dof gene family in Medicago truncatula
Authors: Y.J. Shu, L.L. Song, J. Zhang, Y. Liu and C.H. Guo
The DNA-binding one zinc finger (Dof) family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family, which is involved in many important processes, including seed maturation and germination, plant growth and development, and light responses. Investigation of the Medicago truncatula genome revealed 42 putative Dof genes, each of which holds on.. Read More»

Comparative study of leptin and leptin receptor gene expression in different swine breeds
Authors: S.E. Georgescu, M.A. Manea, S. Dinescu and M. Costache
Leptin is an important regulator of appetite, energy metabolism, and reproduction and is mainly synthesized in the adipocytes and then secreted into the bloodstream. The leptin receptor was classified as type I cytokine receptor due to its structural homology with IL-6 receptors and the signaling pathways in which they are bot.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and expression pattern of the DjStag gene in the planarian Dugesia japonica during embryonic development
Authors: Z.Q. Yuan, J.Y. Zhang and B.S. Zhao
We examined STAG-related gene (DjStag) expression in the planarian Dugesia japonica. This species is common in Far Eastern countries. The DjStag cDNA includes 1362 bp and contains a 489-bp open reading frame corresponding to a deduced protein of 162 amino acids, with a 170-bp 5'-UTR and a 703-bp 3'-UTR. Phylogenetic analysis s..

Characteristics of Cyclin B and its potential role in regulating oogenesis in the red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)
Authors: L.M. Wang, W.W. Lv, D. Zuo, Z.J. Dong and Y.L. Zhao
Cyclin B is a regulatory subunit of maturation-promoting factor (MPF), which has a key role in the induction of meiotic maturation of oocytes. MPF has been studied in a wide variety of animal species; however, its expression in crustaceans is poorly characterized. In this study, the complete cDNA sequence of Cyclin B was cloned from the red claw crayfish,.. Read More»

Construction of a tissue engineered intervertebral disc with high biological activity using an allogeneic intervertebral disc supplemented with transfected nucleus pulposus cells expressing exogenous dopamine beta-hydroxylase
Authors: M. Bai, Y.H. Wang, H.P. Yin and S.W. Li
This study addressed the in vitro construction and biological activity of tissue engineered intervertebral discs with exogenous human dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) nucleus pulposus cells. pSNAV2.0-DBH expression plasmids were utilized to enhance the survival rates of intervertebral disc tissue cells. Various concentrations of transfected nucleus pulposu.. Read More»

Improvement in the carcass traits and meat quality of growing-finishing Rongchang pigs by conjugated linoleic acid through altered gene expression of muscle fiber types
Authors: J.X. Huang, R.L. Qi, X.L. Chen, X.Y. You, X.Q. Liu, F.Y. Yang and Z.H. Liu
A total of 160 Rongchang pigs (26.76 ± 1.78 kg) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatment groups until their body weight (BW) reached 90 kg. The diets were supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0% conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Our results showed that the 1.0 to 2.0% CLA-fed pigs had less back fat deposition wh.. Read More»

Differential expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor �³, fatty acid synthase, and hormone-sensitive lipase in fat-tailed and thin-tailed sheep breeds
Authors: X.C. Xu,B.B. Li,X. Wei,Y.X. Yang,X.L. Wang,Y.L. Chen
Tail fat content affects meat quality, and it varies in different sheep breeds. Theoretically, lipid metabolism contributes to variation in tail fat content. Tail length, tail width, and tail girth were measured in live Tong sheep (with both short fat tail and long fat tail), Shaanbei fine wool sheep (long thin tail), Tan shee.. Read More»

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 gene polymorphism and its mRNA expression in rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: M.J. Ma, H.C. Liu, X.Q. Qu, J.L. Wang
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) can mediate the occurrence and development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The MMP3 promoter gene exhibits polymorphism with 5A/6A alleles. We investigated the correlation between the expression of MMP3 gene polymorphism and RA to provide an objective basis for prognosis evaluation. We enrolled.. Read More»

Authors: A. Buaklin, S. Klinbunga and P. Mensveta
Broad-Complex (BR-C) is an early ecdysone-responsive gene encoding a family of zinc-finger transcription factors that function during metamorphosis in insects. We identified two full-length cDNAs of BR-C Z6 in the giant tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). They were 2422 and 2060 bp in length, containing open reading frames of 1440.. Read More»
