Differential Gene Expression in GPR40-Overexpressing Pancreatic β-cells Treated with Linoleic Acid
"G protein-coupled receptor 40" (GPR40), a receptor for long-chain fatty acids, mediates the stimulation of glucose-induced insulin secretion. We examined the profiles of differential gene expression in GPR40-activated cells treated with linoleic acid, and finally predicted the integral pathways of the cellular mechanism of GPR40-mediated insulinotropic effects. After constructing a GPR40-overe...
متن کاملApoptotic gene expression in melanoma cells treated with kaurenic acid
Terpenoids have been described as pharmacologically active substances. Antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory activities and cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines are some of the biological effects described for these compounds [1-4]. Kaurenic acid is a diterpene isolated from the aerial parts of Espeletia semiglobulata (Compositae) and its antitumor effect via apoptosis and necrosis aga...
متن کاملGlucose regulation of insulin gene expression in pancreatic β-cells
Production and secretion of insulin from the β-cells of the pancreas is very crucial in maintaining normoglycaemia. This is achieved by tight regulation of insulin synthesis and exocytosis from the β-cells in response to changes in blood glucose levels. The synthesis of insulin is regulated by blood glucose levels at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Although many transcripti...
متن کاملDifferential Gene-Expression of Metallothionein 1M and 1G in Response to Zinc in Sertoli TM4 Cells
Background: Zinc (Zn) as an important trace element is essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Molecular mechanism of Zn action in the reproductive system may be related to metal binding low-molecular weight proteins, metallothioneins (MT). Our objective was to determine the effect of Zn on two important isoforms of MT, MT1M and MT1G genes expression on testicular sertoli cell...
متن کاملGene Expression Changes in Pomegranate Peel Extract-Treated Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is treated with highly aggressive non-targeted chemotherapies. Safer and more effective therapeutic approaches than those currently in use are needed. Natural pomegranate peel extract (PPE) has recently been found to inhibit breast cancer progression; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear. We hypothesized that transcriptional chan...
