Differential expression of caprine beta-defensins in digestive and respiratory tissues.
We identified two novel beta-defensin precursors, preproGBD-1 and preproGBD-2, in the tissues of a goat. Although the precursors were identical in 96.8% of their bases and 88.2% (60 of 68) of their amino acids, preproGBD-1 was expressed principally in the tongue and respiratory tract, whereas preproGBD-2 expression predominated throughout the intestine. These findings exemplify the phenomenon o...
متن کاملDifferential expression of inflammatory responsive genes between chronic periodontitis and periodontally affected bronchiectasis patients
The study aimed to investigate differential expression of targeted inflammatory-immune responsive genes [LTA, LTB, TNFSF4, TNFSF11/RANKL, TNFSF13, TNFSF13B, TNFRSF11B/ Osteoprotegerin; OPG and GFPT1/GFA ] in gingival tissues of bronchiectasis patients having chronic periodontitis in North central Indian population. Gingival tissues were collected from 30 systemically healthy chronic periodontit...
متن کاملExpression analysis of three h-type thioredoxin isoforms in three Iranian grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars, indicating differential expression in different tissues
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small ubiquitous disulfide reductases that participate in dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. In contrast to animals and prokaryotes that typically possess one or a few genes encoding Trxs, higher plants contain eight different Trx types: f, m, x, y, z, o, s, and h. Trx h with multiple forms is involved in different processes such as seed germination, cellular protecti...
متن کاملP-136: Association of Matrix MetalloProteinase- 2,-9 Overexpression and Imbalance PR-A/PR-B Ratio in Endometriosis
Background: Matrix MetalloProteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix components to provide normal remodeling and contribute to pathological tissue destruction and cell migration in endometriosis. It is accepted that MMPs are resistant to suppression by progesterone in endometriotic tissues. The physiological effects of progesterone are mediated by its two progesterone receptor (PR) isoform...
متن کاملP-70: Evidence for Differential Gene Expression of A Major EpigeneticModifier Enzyme, de novo DNA Methyltransferase 3b, through Vitrification of Mouse Ovary Tissue
Background: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a feasible method to preserve female reproductive potential, especially in young patients with cancer or in women at risk of premature ovarian failure. Vitrification has recently emerged as a new trend for biological specimen preservation. On the other hand, gene expression that changes during vitrification can influence oocyte maturation and need ...
