The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an ATP-binding cassette half transporter that confers resistance to anticancer drugs such as mitoxantrone, anthracyclines, topotecan, and SN-38. Initial characterization of the BCRP promoter revealed that it is TATA-less with 5 putative Sp1 sites downstream from a putative CpG island and several AP1 sites (K. J. Bailey-Dell et al., Biochim. Biophys...

Euskaraz, egitura elkarkari kanonikoak elkar anafora elkarkariaren bidez eratzen dira. Alabaina, badira iragangaitzak ere, anaforarik gabe eraikitzen direnak. Artikulu honetan azken horien azterketa xehea egin dut eta proposatu horietako guztiak ez direla gramatikaren atal berean sortzen, Siloniren (2012) Hiztegiaren edo Sintaxiaren parametroan oinarrituz ikus daitekeenez. Horretarako, egile ho...

Claudin-5 is an integral membrane protein and a critical component of endothelial tight junctions that control paracellular permeability. Claudin-5 is expressed at high levels in the brain vascular endothelium. Estrogens have multiple effects on vascular physiology and function. The biological actions of estrogens are mediated by two different estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes, ER alpha and ER be...

This study is an attempt to determine whether estrogen could directly regulate human gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) gene expression. Human GnRH expression vectors were constructed by fusing various 5' flanking regions of the human GnRH gene upstream of the luciferase reporter gene (LUC) or the thymidine kinase promoter linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene (CAT). ...

Silicon nanoparticles (SNPs) with oxide coatings have been proposed as the source of the observed ““ extended red emission ÏÏ (ERE) from interstellar dust. We calculate the thermal emission expected from such particles, both in a reÑection nebula such as NGC 2023 and in the di†use interstellar medium (ISM). It is shown that SNPs (both neutral and charged) would produce a strong emission 2 featu...

A new screening assay was described for the determination of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as synthetic estrogens, with an array-type DNA glass slide having characteristics of 1) a high sample throughput, 2) a compact size allowing a small sample volume, and 3) a sensitive determination based on the estrogen-dependent binding of the human estrogen receptor a (hERalpha) with its es...

Activated estrogen receptors (ER) in response to estrogen bind to specific sequences (estrogen response elements; ERE) to induce transcription. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the estrogen induced ER binding activity in granulosa cells of antral ovarian follicles can be detected by bioluminescence imaging in vitro, and correlated to estrogen concentrations in follicular flui...

A reporter gene sequence was constructed within a eukaryotic expression vector. The altered plasmid contained 2 sequential estrogen response elements (ERE) coupled to a human phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter inserted upstream from a cDNA sequence encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) with a 3'-polyadenylation signal. The plasmid was linearized and transfected into MCF-7 cells,...

Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre o ensino da Língua Inglesa (LI) e uso das tecnologias digitais (TD) durante Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE), no contexto pandemia Covid-19, a partir de uma perspectiva decolonialista. Para isso, adotamos do pensamento decolonial práxis, resistência, luta insurgência. tanto, buscamos diálogos entre os estudos decoloniais, as contribuições Linguístic...
