Genes from Chagas Susceptibility Loci That Are Differentially Expressed in T. cruzi-Resistant Mice Are Candidates Accounting for Impaired Immunity
Variation between inbred mice of susceptibility to experimental Trypanosoma cruzi infection has frequently been described, but the immunogenetic background is poorly understood. The outcross of the susceptible parental mouse strains C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2), B6D2F1 (F1) mice, is highly resistant to this parasite. In the present study we show by quantitative PCR that the increase of tissue pa...
متن کاملDivergent fructokinase genes are differentially expressed in tomato.
Two cDNA clones (Frk1 and Frk2) encoding fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) were isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The Frk2 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 328 amino acids that was more than 90% identical with a previously characterized potato (Solanum tuberosum) fructokinase. In contrast, the Frk1 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 347 amino acids that shared only 55% amino acid identity...
متن کاملDifferentially expressed genes in MHC-compatible rat strains that are susceptible or resistant to experimental autoimmune uveitis.
PURPOSE Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is an established model for immune-mediated human uveitis. Although several genes from major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci have been shown to play a role in uveitis, little is known about the role of non-MHC genes in the pathogenesis of EAU. Several non-MHC genes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. The pr...
متن کاملXenopus elav-like genes are differentially expressed during neurogenesis
In Xenopus, three neural-specific elav-like genes (ELGs) have been identified, elrB/Xel-1, elrC and elrD. With the aim to highlight possible differences in the regulation of these genes, we compared their expression patterns during development. We had previously shown that elrB is expressed from the early tailbud stage onwards, in both the central and peripheral nervous system. Here we show tha...
متن کاملMicroRNA genes are frequently located near mouse cancer susceptibility loci.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short 19- to 24-nt RNA molecules that have been shown to regulate the expression of other genes in a variety of eukaryotic systems. Abnormal expression of miRNAs has been observed in several human cancers, and furthermore, germ-line and somatic mutations in human miRNAs were recently identified in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Thus, human miRNAs can act as t...
