Synergistic Effect of Caffeine and Glucocorticoids on Expression of Surfactant Protein B (SP-B) mRNA
Administration of glucocorticoids and caffeine is a common therapeutic intervention in the neonatal period, but possible interactions between these substances are still unclear. The present study investigated the effect of caffeine and different glucocorticoids on expression of surfactant protein (SP)-B, crucial for the physiological function of pulmonary surfactant. We measured expression leve...
متن کاملMeasurement of mRNA levels in tumor xenografts with quantitative autoradiography and in situ hybridization.
In situ methodologies allow qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of spatial gene expression in whole organisms or tissues. We have applied quantitative autoradiography to in situ hybridizations of sections from human breast tumor xenografts to measure mRNA levels for ornithine decarboxylase, estrogen receptor, transforming growth factor alpha, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase....
متن کاملLocalization of surfactant-associated protein C (SP-C) mRNA in fetal rabbit lung tissue by in situ hybridization.
Surfactant is a lipoprotein substance that is synthesized and secreted by alveolar type II epithelial cells and acts to reduce surface tension at the air-alveolar interface. SP-C is a 5,000-D molecular weight, hydrophobic, surfactant-associated protein. In the present study, we used a ribonuclease protection assay to show that SP-C mRNA is induced in rabbit fetal lung tissue early in developmen...
متن کاملMeasurement of mRNA by quantitative PCR with a nonradioactive label.
This report describes the development of a method to measure mRNA in small samples of human tissue by the polymerase chain reaction with a nonradioactive label. In this method RNA is reverse-transcribed in the presence of a control RNA, and subsequently amplified by the polymerase chain reaction during which a nonradioactive label (digoxigenin-11-dUTP) is incorporated. Gel blotting and immunolo...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel alternatively spliced mRNA of murine pulmonary surfactant protein B.
An alternatively spliced mRNA of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) was identified in murine lung. Sequencing analysis revealed a 69 base-pair (bp) deletion at the beginning of exon 7 of SP-B, presumably the result of an alternative splicing event. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of mouse, rat, and rabbit lung RNA revealed the existence of full-length and the 69-bp d...
