The Role of Thiamine in Wilson’s Disease: Possible Genetic and Cellular Signaling Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship between supplemental thiamine and Wilson’s disease has been the focus of recent investigation; and supplemental thiamine has been reported to modulate Wilson’s disease. Genetic studies have helped identify a number of factors that link thiamine to Wilson’s disease, including transcription factor p53, Bcl-2, caspase-2, heme oxygenase-1, and apolipo protein E. Thiamine has also been implicated in Wilson’s disease through its effects on serotonin, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide synthase. Therefore, further investigations of thiamine in Wilson’s disease are needed to clarify this relationship. The Role of Thiamine in Wilson’s Disease: Possible Genetic and Cellular Signaling Mechanisms

Interaction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway
It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
متن کاملRole of microRNA as a biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease
Introduction: MicroRNAs are small, non-coding, and protected RNA molecules that regulate gene expression after transcription by mRNA degradation or inhibition of protein synthesis. The function of these molecules is critical to many cellular processes, including growth, development, differentiation, homeostasis, apoptosis, aging, stress resistance. In addition, some diseases including cancer, a...
متن کاملThe function of epigenetic processes in multiple sclerosis: review article
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological and inflammatory disorder that affects the nervous system. The etiology of MS is unknown, but genetic and environmental factors are involved in its pathogenesis. There is increasing evidence suggesting the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. Lack of vitamin D, smoking, and Epstein barr virus can cause epigene...
متن کاملStem Cells Application in Modeling of Human Genetic Diseases
The use of animal models in modeling of human genetic disease has many advantages. In some cases, however, this method may not be applicable due to some limitations, such as differences in tissue composition, anatomy and physiology of humans and animals. Isogenic human disease models are a population of cells that are selected or engineered to model a specific genetic disease, in vitro. They ar...
