background: hoxa11 and leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) and basic transcriptional element binding protein1 (bteb1) are expressed in endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle and show a dramatic increase during the mid-luteal phase at the time of implantation. in this case-control study, the expression pattern of these mrna was evaluated in patients with endometriosis at the time of implantatio...

the transcriptional factor oct4 regulates pluripotency of stem cells and has an important role during oocyte growth. whereas, its role has remained ambiguous in ovarian tissue during reproductive cycle. therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the expression patterns of oct4 in mouse ovaries during the normal estrous cycle. adult national medical research institute mice were classified as...

background: baculovirus expression system is one of the most attractive and powerful eukaryotic expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins. the presence of a biomarker is required to monitor transfection efficiency or protein expression levels in insect cells. methods: the aim of this study was to construct a baculovirus expression vector encoding a copepod super green fluore...

background: activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in various malignancies, including colorectal cancer, is established. this pathway mediates the degradation of damaged proteins and regulates growth and stress response. the novel human gene, ube2q2, with a putative ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme activity, is reported to be overexpressed in some malignancies. we sought to investigate the ...

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...

Objective(s): Recent progress in understanding the pathogenesis of premature ventricular contraction (PVC)-induced cardiomyopathy (PIC) has suggested a key role for inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and the protein production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (...

most plants encounter stress such as drought and salinity that adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. the expression of the gene glutathione-s-transferases (gst) extends throughout various protective mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions. gstf1 (the first phi gstfs class) gene expression patterns in the wheat cultivars mahuti ...

Background The omega-3 fatty acid (ω-3 fatty acid) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is currently used in the clinic as a nutritional supplement in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of EPA on the expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and cytochrome P450 aromatase (encoded by the...
