Tissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...

متن کاملTNF-α inhibits liver collagen-α1(I) gene expression through a tissue-specific regulatory region.
Although tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibits collagen-α1(I) gene expression in cultured hepatic stellate cells, assessment of its effects on hepatic collagen expression is complicated by the confounding variables of tissue necrosis and inflammation. Therefore, we analyzed whether chronically elevated serum TNF-α affects constitutive hepatic collagen metabolism in vivo by inoculating nude m...
متن کاملThe Effects of Resistance and Endurance Training on the Liver Tissue FNDC5 mRNA Gene Expression in Male Rats
Background. The accumulation of excess triglyceride in the liver and a decrease in brown adipose tissue is related to the fatty liver disease. Regular physical activity can take part in regulating fat oxidation and inhibiting fat accumulation by creating and releasing some myokines. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of each training method in this regard is still not certain. Objective(s). This ...
متن کاملNovel roles of liver X receptors exposed by gene expression profiling in liver and adipose tissue.
Liver X receptor (LXR) alpha and LXRbeta are nuclear oxysterol receptors whose biological function has so far been elucidated only with respect to cholesterol and lipid metabolism. To expose novel biological roles for LXRs, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling studies in liver and white and brown adipose tissue from wild-type (LXRalpha(+/+)beta(+/+)) and knockout mice (LXRalpha(-/...
