چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولPhylogeny, taxonomy, and evolution of the endothelin receptor gene family.
A gene phylogeny provides the natural historical order to classify genes and to understand their functional, structural, and genomic diversity. The gene family of endothelin receptors (EDNR) is responsible for many key physiological and developmental processes of tetrapods and teleosts. This study provides a well-defined gene phylogeny for the EDNR family, which is used to classify its members ...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in Endothelin-1 and Endothelin type A receptor expression in the lungs of chickens (Broiler versus layer)
Background: Broilers lung mechanisms that regulate endothelin (ET) in the lung are complex and poorly understood. Objectives: Methods: In this experiment lung ET-1 mRNA levels and lung mRNA expression for the ET(A) receptors were determined in lung tissue weekly (term = 42 days, intervals = 7 days). Serum endothelin concentration was also measured at these ages. Results: The study showed that e...
متن کاملGene expression of endothelin-1, endothelin-converting enzyme-1, and endothelin receptors in human epididymis.
We have previously reported the presence of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and its receptors in the human testis. In the present study we extended our investigations to human epididymis. The rationale of our study originated from the fact that sperm appear to be immotile during their transit through the epididymis. Hence, it is conceivable that specific factors, unknown to date, are present in this organ,...
متن کاملPlacental endothelin gene expression and endothelin concentration in fetal fluids of the first trimester gestational sac.
We have investigated the distribution of immunoreactive endothelins (irET) in fetal fluids and expression of ET precursor genes in villous tissue during the first trimester. Samples of maternal plasma (n = 6), coelomic fluid (n = 28), amniotic fluid (n = 23) and villous tissue (n = 3) were obtained from 30 pregnancies immediately before surgical termination at 7-12 weeks gestation. irET concent...
