چکیده
Although leukoplakia is the most common precancerous lesion of the oral cavity, its molecular biological properties are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the genes responsible for its pathogenesis and malignant transformation using oligonucleotide microarray technology. The expression profiles of 8,800 genes in human oral leukoplakia (n=4) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) (n=2) were analyzed using the Affymetrix GeneChip® system and the results were confirmed with RT-PCR. Eight genes were up-regulated (>2.0-fold) and ten were downregulated (<0.5-fold) in all leukoplakias analyzed with the GeneChip. In particular, loricrin and keratins displayed greater differences between normal tissue and leukoplakia. Some of the 18 alternatively expressed genes were markedly downregulated in squamous cell carcinoma compared with leukoplakia. Our data suggested that gene abnormalities in cytoskeleton network components might be responsible for the development and progression of oral leukoplakia.

متن کاملDereverberation Based on Spectral Subtraction by Multi-Channel LMS Algorithm for Hands-Free Speech Recognition
In a distant-talking environment, channel distortion drastically degrades speech recognition performance because of a mismatch between the training and testing environments. The current approach focusing on automatic speech recognition (ASR) robustness to reverberation and noise can be classified as speech signal processing [1, 4, 5, 14], robust feature extraction [10, 20], and model adaptation...
متن کاملCloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression in Escherichia coli of the gene for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase from Alcaligenes faecalis.
The extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) depolymerase gene from Alcaligenes faecalis T1 was cloned into Escherichia coli DH1 by using the plasmid pUC8. An A. faecalis T1 genomic library was prepared in E. coli from a partial Sau3AI digest and screened with antibody against the depolymerase. Of the 29 antibody-positive clones, 1 (pDP14), containing about 4 kilobase pairs of A. faecalis T1 DNA, ...
متن کاملExtended squaraine dyes with large two-photon absorption cross-sections.
Extended bis(donor)-substituted squaraine chromophores exhibit very high two-photon cross-sections (as high as 33 000 GM) in the near-IR; these can be attributed to the combination of large transition dipoles with small detuning energies. The modulus of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility at 1.3 mum has been found to be 7.0 x 10-11 esu for one of these chromophores.
