Understanding variability in ethanol teratogenicity.
Ethanol is the most widely used psychoactive drug and, when used inappropriately, can have deleterious effects. The developing fetus is particularly sensitive to the deleterious effects of ethanol. Fetal alcohol exposure causes Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which have an estimated prevalence reaching 1% in North America (1). FASD are associated with defects to numerous organs, includ...
متن کاملNerve growth factor and semaphorin 3A signaling pathways interact in regulating sensory neuronal growth cone motility.
Neurotrophins and semaphorin 3A are present along pathways and in targets of developing axons of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons. Growth cones of sensory axons are probably regulated by interaction of cytoplasmic signaling triggered coincidentally by both types of guidance molecules. We investigated the in vitro interactions of neurotrophins and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) in modulating g...
متن کاملTeratogenicity of ethanol in different chicken strains.
This study investigated the teratogenicity of ethanol in several different strains of chickens. The chick embryo provides a useful model for studying the fetal alcohol syndrome. Two broad classifications of chicks, each containing many strains, are commercially available for use: broilers and layers. Teratogenicity of ethanol in broilers and layers was studied by examining three different param...
متن کاملThe Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Signaling Pathways Promoting Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Various factors are involved in the development and progression of this disease. One of these agents is cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-2 is a product of the PTGS2 gene and converts free arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. COX-2 is not naturally expressed in most normal cells. Noticeably, the increased expression of COX-2 has been ...
متن کاملThe Role of miRNA Dysregulation in Thyroid Cancer Development by Targeting the Main Signaling Pathways
Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies of endocrine glands, causing carcinomas, such as papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Due to the significance of thyroid carcinomas, identification of the main signaling pathways and the affecting mutations has been considered by researchers. Further studies on the dysregulation of oncogenes in signaling path...
