Rapid quantification of drug resistance gene expression in Candida albicans by reverse transcriptase LightCycler PCR and fluorescent probe hybridization.
We developed a rapid, sensitive, and reproducible assay to quantify Candida albicans ACT1, CDR1, CDR2, ERG11, and MDR1 mRNA using a two-step reverse transcription and LightCycler real-time PCR (RT-LightCycler PCR) method with sequence-specific hybridization probes. We compared RT-LightCycler PCR with Northern hybridization for quantitative analysis of gene expression in isolates with various fl...
متن کاملStereo-Specific Transcript Regulation of the Polyamine Biosynthesis Genes by Enantiomers of Ornithine in Tobacco Cell Culture
Background: Ornithine (Orn) plays an essential role in the metabolism of plant cells through incorporation in polyamines biosynthesis, the urea cycle and nitrogen metabolism. Physiological response of the plant cells to its two enantiomers have not been widely investigated yet.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate effect of ornithine enantiomers on exp...
متن کاملImproved mRNA quantitation in LightCycler RT-PCR.
BACKGROUND Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) utilizing the LightCycler and similar systems is an increasingly used technique for quantitative reverse transcription (RT)-PCR of mRNA levels from genes of immunologic interest. A commonly encountered limitation with these systems is that the fluorescence induced by SYBR Green (a fluorophore that binds double-stranded DNA) can result from pr...
متن کاملIncreased expression of ornithine decarboxylase messenger RNA in human esophageal carcinoma.
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines, which are essential for cell proliferation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ODC expression in human esophageal cancer at the mRNA level. Sixty-four pairs of primary esophageal cancers and normal esophageal epithelia were examined by reverse transcription-PCR for ODC mRNA expression. The ODC mRNA levels we...
متن کاملSpecific reverse transcription-PCR quantification of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) splice variants by LightCycler technology.
BACKGROUND Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is associated with increased angiogenesis, growth and invasion in solid tumors, and hematologic malignancies. The expression of isoforms of VEGF, which mediate different effects, can be discriminated by splice-variant-specific quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), but current methods have only modest sensitivity a...
