Molecular staging of epithelial maturation using secretory cell-specific genes as markers.
Bronchiolar Clara cells undergo phenotypic changes during development and in disease. These changes are poorly described due to a paucity of molecular markers. We used chemical and transgenic approaches to ablate Clara cells, allowing identification of their unique gene expression profile. Flavin monooxygenase 3 (Fmo3), paraoxonase 1 (Pon1), aldehyde oxidase 3 (Aox3), and claudin 10 (Cldn10) we...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative Analysis of Expression of Various Genes in relation to Possible Markers for Theileria annulata Attenuation
The sporozoites of Theileria annulata invade bovine MHC II cells, where they differentiate into schizonts. The later can immortalize and induce fundamental changes in their host cells. Live attenuated vaccine is an important way of controlling T. annulata infection of cattle. Production is by prolonged cultivation of macroschizont-infected cells. The mechanisms underlying this transformation ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation
Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
متن کاملMapping of TP53 protein network using cytoscape software
TP53 acts as a tumor suppressor in cancer. It induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stress and damage. p53 gene alteration could cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.In the present study, we used TP53 gene as the seed in the construction of a protein-protein functional association network to identify genes that might involve in tumorgenesis process with TP53. TP53 prot...
متن کاملAn Efficient In Vitro Culture System To Amplify Spermatogonia Stem Cell Markers
Background: Proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can be a treatment for infertile men. Here, we design an efficient method based on culturing in the presence of Sertoli cells to improve the expression level of some specific spermatogonia stem cell genes during two weeks post culture. Materials and Methods: Cells were derived from neonatal (2-6 days old) mice testes and were cultur...
