Lack of Association between Interleukin-10 Gene Promoter Polymorphisms with HIV Susceptibility and Progression to AIDS
Background & Objective: Interleukin (IL)-10 is an important anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory cytokine. Some authors believe that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene have been associated with susceptibility to HIV infection and progression to AIDS, but its role is not clearly defined yet. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the a...
متن کاملAssociation between polymorphisms in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor gene and disseminated testicular germ cell cancer
In the Western world, testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) is the most common malignancy of young men. The malignant transformation of germ cells is thought to be caused by developmental and hormonal disturbances, probably related to environmental and lifestyle factors because of rapidly increasing incidence of TGCC in some countries. Additionally, there is a strong genetic component that affects...
متن کاملInteractions between aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and hypoxia signaling pathways.
Most if not all of the toxic responses of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are mediated through the AhR, which requires ARNT to regulate gene expression. ARNT is also required by HIF-1alpha to enhance the expression of various genes in response to hypoxia. Since both the AhR and hypoxia transcriptional pathways require ARNT, some of the effects of TCDD and similar types of ligands cou...
متن کاملLack of Association Between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 Gene Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAsmay alter its expression levels or processing and contribute to susceptibility to a wide range of diseases. Our study aimed to evaluate the possible association between miRNA-146a rs2910164 and miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms and susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. This case- control study was perfor...
متن کاملWistar Han Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR)
Unknown, but the effects seem limited. Rats homozygous for the mutant allele have a dramatically increased LD50 for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and PCDD (penta-), but not HCDD (hexa-). Overall, the tissue distribution and excretion of TCDD in rats homozygous for the AhR mutation is similar to that of the Long-Evans rat, which was used as a dioxin-sensitive control strain. Reprodu...
