Digital expression analysis of the genes associated with salinity resistance after overexpression of a stress-responsive small GTP-binding RabG protein in peanut
Authors: J.M. Sui, G. Li, G.X. Chen, M.Y. Yu, S.T. Ding, J.S. Wang and L.X. Qiao
The Rab protein family is the largest family of the small GTP-binding proteins. Among them, the RabG genes are known to be responsive to abiotic stresses, but the molecular mechanisms of the stress responses mediated by RabG genes in plants is poorly understood. To investigate the molecular mechanism of AhRabG gene in peanut, .. Read More»

Expression of metallothionein type 2 and 3 genes in Prosopis glandulosa leaves treated with copper
Authors: C. Michel-Lopez, O. Zapata-P�©rez, D. Gonz�¡lez-Mendoza,O. Grimaldo-Juarez, C. Cece�±a-Duran, O. Tzintzun-Camacho
For a better understanding of the strategies that are used by Prosopis glandulosa in heavy metal tolerance, the present study evaluated the gene expression of three metallothioneins (MTs; PgMt2-1, PgMt2, and PgMt3) in plants exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of copper. The PgMt2-1, PgMt2, and PgMt3 sequences were homologous.. Read More»

Gene expressions levels of 14-3-3a, NKCCla, APO-14, and Na+-K+-ATPase�² in gill tissue of Mugil cephalus acclimated to low salinity
Authors: L. Li, M. Jiang and X.Q. Shen
Fishes adapt to salinity changes primarily through osmotic pressure regulation, a process often associated with several genes, including 14-3-3a, NKCCla, APO-14, and Na+-K+-ATPaseβ. The present study investigated the differential expression of genes 14-3-3a, NKCCla, APO-14, and Na+-K+-ATPaseβ in the gill tissue of Mu.. Read More»

Gene expression and enzymatic activity of pectin methylesterase during fruit development and ripening in Coffea arabica L.
Authors: S.M.B. Ca�§�£o T.F. Leite I.G.F. Budzinski T.B. dos Santos M.B.S. Scholz V. Carpentieri-Pipolo D.S. Domingues L.G.E. Vieira L.F.P. Pereira
Coffee quality is directly related to the harvest and post harvest conditions. Non-uniform maturation of coffee fruits, combined with inadequate harvest, negatively affects the final quality of the product. Pectin methylesterase (PME) plays an important role in fruit softening due to the hydrolysis of methylester groups in cell wall pectins. In order to c.. Read More»

Dithranol downregulates expression of Id1 mRNA in human keratinocytes in vitro
Authors: C. Ronpirin T. Tencomnao
The precise causes of psoriasis, a chronic skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and incomplete keratinization, are unclear. It is known that expression of helix-loop-helix transcription factor Id1, which functions as an inhibitor of differentiation, is upregulated in psoriatic skin. We investigated the effect of the antipsori.. Read More»

Expression of PCA3 and PSA genes as a biomarker for differential diagnosis of nodular hyperplasia and prostate cancer
Authors: F. Fonseca Coelho, F. Loli Guimar�£es, W.L. Ribeiro Cabral, P.G. Oliveira Salles, E. Cueva Mateo, L. Mendes Nogueira e Nogueira, C.E. Corradi Fonseca and K. Braga Gomes
We evaluated the expression of the PCA3 gene in urine from patients with nodular hyperplasia/benign prostatic hyperplasia (PNH) or adenocarcinoma type prostate cancer (PCa).The study included 59 men: 22 with PCa, 26 with PNH, and 11 with no alterations (controls). Patients’ urine was collected following prostatic massage and quantified by quantitati.. Read More»

Effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus
Authors: Q.D. Jiang1,2 and X.P. Li1
The hypothalamus is an important component of the nervous system, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and neuromedin U (NMU) are key players in physiological regulation. Puerarin is important for nerve regulation. We investigated the effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus. The results showed .. Read More»

Efficient isolation of high-quality RNA from lotus Nelumbo nucifera ssp nucifera tissues
Authors: Y.J. Zhang X.Y. Hao Z.S. Liang W.D. Ke H.B. Guo
Nelumbo nucifera is widely used as food, as an ornamental, in medicine, and as packing material; it is also reported to have anti-HIV effects and antioxidant capacity. We sought an improved method for extracting high-quality total RNA from different tissues of N. nucifera. Four methods for RNA extraction were assessed for their ability to recover high-qua..
