Comparison of Mitochondrial-Related Transcriptional Levels of mitochondrial transcription factor A, Nuclear respiratory factor 1 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 Genes in Single Human Oocytes at Various Stages of the Oocyte Maturation
Background: The aim of the current study was to assess the mRNA levels of two mitochondria-related genes, including nuclear-encoded NRF1 (nuclear respiratory factor 1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), and mitochondrial-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (MT-CO1) genes in various stages of the human oocyte maturation. Methods: Oocytes were obtained from nine infertile women wit...
متن کاملDown-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor by curcumin-induced UBE1L in human bronchial epithelial cells.
UBE1L, ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1-like, is the activating enzyme of ISG15ylation (ISG15, interferon stimulated gene 15). Loss of UBE1L and activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling are common events in lung carcinogenesis. Curcumin, a well-studied chemopreventive agent, is known to down-regulate EGFR. The present study demonstrated that curcumin decreased EGFR expressi...
متن کاملMicroRNA-34a promotes mitochondrial dysfunction-induced apoptosis in human lens epithelial cells by targeting Notch2
Purpose Human lens epithelial cell (HLEC) apoptosis is a common pathogenic mechanism in age-related cataracts (ARC). While the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the eye is beginning to be explored using miRNA expression array, the role of miR-34a in regulating HLEC apoptosis remains unknown and requires further investigation. Methods Quantitative reverse-transcript polymerase chain reaction (...
متن کاملConnective tissue growth factor expression in human bronchial epithelial cells.
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteine-rich protein that promotes extracellular matrix deposition. CTGF is selectively induced by transforming growth factor beta and des-Arg kallidin in lung fibroblasts and increases steady-state mRNA levels of alpha type I collagen, 5alpha-integrin and fibronectin in fibroblasts. Bronchial epithelial cells have been proposed to functionally inter...
متن کاملMitochondrial Complex I Is an Essential Player in LPS-Induced Preconditioning in Differentiated PC12 Cells
Preconditioning (PC) as a protective strategy against noxious insults can decline cell death and apoptosis. It has been approved that mitochondria play a key role in PC mechanism. The critical role of complex I (CI) in oxidative phosphorylation machinery and intracellular ROS production, particularly in the brain, accentuates its possible role in PC-induced neuroprotection. Here, differentiated...
