Polymorphism of Prion Protein Gene (PRNP) in Iranian Holstein and Two Local Cattle Populations (Golpayegani and Sistani) of Iran
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal infectious neurodegenerative disease in cattle, characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal, proteaseresistant prion protein (PrPSc) in the brain. BSE is similar to scrapie in sheep and goats and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Susceptibility in cattle hasbeen shown to be under the influence of two polymorphic locations, which are a 23 bp in/del polymorphismand a 12 bp indel within intron 1 of the prion protein gene (PRNP). DNA was extracted from blood samplesof three Iranian cattle populations including Sistani (Bos indicus) (n=60), Golpayegani (Bos indicus) (n=62) and Iranian Holstein (Bos taurus) (n=50), In order to identify the putative polymorphisms of the PRNP gene of those breeds. Allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of the polymorphisms were determined for the three populations. Susceptibility analysis was considered as per literature, upon which, it was suggested that the two Bos indicus native populations are more resistant to BSE than the Iranian Holstein (Bos taurus), due to higher gene frequency for insertion allele of the intron 1 of the PRNP gene polymorphism.

Detection of haplotype in the Bovine Prion Protein gene (PRNP) in Najdi, Sarabi and Iranian Holstein cattle breeds
ABSTRACT: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are neurodegenerative diseases that affect several mammalian species. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is among the mentioned diseases in cattle caused by abnormally fold prion proteins. Polymorphisms of the prion protein gene (PRNP) have been shown to be major determinations for the susceptibility to transmitted perion diseases in human...

Polymorphisms in the prion protein gene (PRNP) in humans and sheep correlate with susceptibility to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has been reported in British and Japanese cattle; it has occurred thus far in Holstein cattle. BSE in Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) cattle has not been diagnosed up to now. To characterize the bovine PRNP poly...

The objective of the present study was to determine polymorphism within the promoter region of somatotropin receptor genes in indigenous Sistani cattle (Bos indicus) and associations between this polymorphism and breeding value of birth weight. The pedigree structure was included by considering 1173 animals with 600 progeny birth weight data obtained from a Zhark breeding station in Sistan and ...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
