Correction: Evidence of inhibin/activin subunit betaC and betaE synthesis in normal human endometrial tissue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Correction We have previously demonstrated the expression of inhibin subunits in endometrial tissues and used b-actin primer pairs to perform a PCR analysis loading control [1]. However, instead of using the mentioned b-actin primer pairs from a commercial molecular biology supplier, we used the b-actin primer pair listed in Table 1. All depicted primer pairs in Table 1 were designed and established by our group, and synthesized by the supplier Biomers.net (Ulm, Germany).

Evidence of inhibin/activin subunit betaC and betaE synthesis in normal human endometrial tissue
BACKGROUND Inhibins are important regulators of the female reproductive system. Recently, two new inhibin subunits betaC and betaE have been described, although it is unclear if they are synthesized in normal human endometrium. METHODS Samples of human endometrium were obtained from 82 premenopausal, non-pregnant patients undergoing gynecological surgery for benign diseases. Endometrium sampl...
متن کاملExpression of activins C and E induces apoptosis in human and rat hepatoma cells.
Activins C and E (homodimers of the betaC and betaE subunits), which are almost exclusively expressed in the liver, are members of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) superfamily of growth factors. We examined their expression in three different hepatoma cell lines and found that, compared with normal liver or primary hepatocytes, human hepatoblastoma (HepG2), human hepatocellular car...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical localization of inhibin and activin subunits, activin receptors and Smads in ovarian endometriosis.
We previously reported that activin A, not inhibin, was localized to endometrial tissues, and that the endometrium might be a major source of activin A during the menstrual cycle, using an immunohistochemical method. However, there are few detailed reports concerning the expression of inhibin subunits, activin receptors and Smad proteins in the ectopic endometrial tissues of endometriosis. In t...
متن کاملInhibin, activin, follistatin, activin receptors and beta-glycan gene expression in the villous tissue of miscarriage patients.
Maternal circulating levels of inhibin A are significantly lower in patients with clinical symptoms of miscarriage. The objective of this study was to quantify relative expression of inhibin alpha, inhibin/activin betaA, betaB, betaC, follistatin, activin receptors and beta-glycan genes and content of inhibin A, activin A and follistatin protein in villous tissue of first trimester miscarriages...
متن کاملRat activin-βE mRNA expression during development and in acute and chronic liver injury
Activin-betaE mRNA expression was investigated in male and female rats using gel-based and quantitative RT-PCR, in fetal and post-natal liver during development and in a variety of tissues from 200 gm adult animals. Activin-betaE expression was also assessed in rat liver after partial hepatectomy, and after repeated toxic insult. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to partial hepatectomy or...
