Connexin expression patterns in diseased human corneas
The present study aimed to explore the feasibility of using antisense connexin (Cx) treatment to promote corneal wound healing, and to investigate the changes of Cx gap junction proteins in terms of mRNA, protein expression and distribution in human corneas that were diseased due to various causes. A total of 13 diseased corneas were studied, which were obtained from five eyes injured by chemic...
متن کاملDownregulation of sulfotransferase expression and activity in diseased human livers.
Sulfotransferase (SULT) function has been well studied in healthy human subjects by quantifying mRNA and protein expression and determining enzyme activity with probe substrates. However, it is not well known if sulfotransferase activity changes in metabolic and liver disease, such as diabetes, steatosis, or cirrhosis. Sulfotransferases have significant roles in the regulation of hormones and e...
متن کاملApplication of improved coupling assay method for peroxidase of diseased thyroids: report of three cases.
Recently we have developed an assay method for peroxidase-catalyzed coupling of iodotyronine residues of thyroglobulin, which is applicable to human diseased thyroid tissues. In the present study, the assay method as well as usual peroxidase assay methods were applied to thyroids of three patients (No. 1: familial goiter with impaired thyroglobulin synthesis, No. 2: mild chronic thyroiditis, No...
متن کاملTLR3 and TLR4 expression in healthy and diseased human endometrium
BACKGROUND Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in the innate immune system by initiating and directing immune response to pathogens. TLRs are expressed in the human endometrium and their regulation might be crucial for the pathogenesis of endometrial diseases. METHODS TLR3 and TLR4 expression was investigated during the menstrual cycle and in postmenopausal endometrium consideri...
متن کاملExpression of pendrin and the Pendred syndrome (PDS) gene in human thyroid tissues.
The gene recently cloned that is responsible for the Pendred syndrome (PDS), an autosomal recessive disease characterized by goiter and congenital sensorineural deafness, is mainly expressed in the thyroid gland. Its product, designated pendrin, was shown to transport chloride and iodide. To investigate whether the PDS gene is altered during thyroid tumorigenesis, PDS gene expression and pendri...
