Differentially expressed micoRNAs in human oocytes

Identification of differentially expressed markers in human follicular cells associated with competent oocytes.

BACKGROUND The development of an accurate method for selection of high-quality embryos is essential to achieve high pregnancy rates with single embryo transfer in human IVF. The developmental competence of the oocyte is acquired during follicle maturation and strong communication also exists between the follicular cells (FCs) and the oocytes; thus oocyte developmental competence may be determin...

Introducing Transthyretin as a Differentially Expressed Protein in Washing Subtype of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Introduction: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as one of the important mental problems is valuable topic for proteomic research studies to better understand the underlying mechanisms of this disorder.  Methods: In this paper, gel-based proteomic was used to investigate the proteome profile of 16 female patients with OCD, washing subtype before and after treatment with fluoxetine and co...

Identification of differentially expressed proteins in senescent human embryonic fibroblasts.

Normal human fibroblasts undergo a limited number of divisions in culture, a process known as replicative senescence (RS). Although several senescence-specific genes have been identified, analysis at the level of protein expression can provide additional insights into the mechanisms that regulate RS. We have performed a proteomic comparison between young and replicative senescent human embryoni...

Vasculin, a novel vascular protein differentially expressed in human atherogenesis.

Recent suppressive subtractive hybridization analysis on human atherosclerotic plaque-derived RNA revealed genes upregulated in plaques with a thrombus versus stable plaques. Clone SSH6, containing part of a putative open reading frame of an unknown protein, was further investigated. Full-length cDNA, coding for a 473-amino acid (aa) protein, was identified in a vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC...
