Carbon monoxide -- a "new" gaseous modulator of gene expression.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas which is generated by heme oxygenase enzymes (HOs). HOs degrade heme releasing equimolar amounts of CO, iron and biliverdin, which is subsequently reduced to bilirubin. CO shares many properties with nitric oxide (NO), an established cellular messenger. Both CO and NO are involved in neural transmission and modulation of blood ves...
متن کاملDehydration: a new modulator of klotho expression.
ACCORDING TO THE GREEK MYTHS, life and death of all individuals are in the hands of three sister goddesses: Klotho, Lakhesis, and Atropos. The first spins the thread of life, the second determines the length of the thread, while the last cuts the thread. Following this credence, once a putative agesuppressing gene has been identified, it was named klotho (11). Mice lacking klotho have a syndrom...
متن کاملMyosin VI is a modulator of androgen-dependent gene expression.
Myosin VI, one of the so-called unconventional myosins, is an actin-based molecular motor involved in intracellular vesicle and organelle transport. In human prostate, myosin VI is expressed in prostate epithelium. We examined the effect of myosin VI downregulation in the LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line using an RNA interference approach. Further, the expression of myosin VI in human pros...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nucleostemin Gene Expression as a New Molecular Marker in Breast Tumors
Background & Aims: Nucleostemin is one of the stem cell enriched proteins which encodes a novel nucleolar GTP-binding protein found at high levels in the adult and embryonic stem (ES) cells but not in terminally differentiated cells. It is also expressed in tumor cell lines as well as in the several types of human cancers. Due to the increasing rate of breast cancer in recent years, in the pres...
متن کاملA New Indole Derivative Decreased SALL4 Gene Expression in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cell Line (NB4)
Background: Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder due to bone marrow failure and uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid lineage. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of AML. Heterocyclic compounds, such as indole, are considered as attractive candidates for cancer therapy, due to their abundance in nature and known biological activity. Sal-like protein (SALL4) is a zi...
