Introduction: Cryptorchidism has been proved to cause apoptosis in germ cells in respond to changes in the stimulation levels of specific physiological events. The purpose of this study was to determine whether treatment of bilateral cryptorchidism was associated with alterations in testicular gene expression. Methods: To induce bilateral cryptorchid model, immature mice were anesthetized and a...

RNA sequencing of untreated and r-Moj-DM treated SK-Mel-28 cells was performed after 6 h, to begin unraveling the apoptotic pathway induced by r-Moj-DM. Bioinformatic analyses of RNA sequencing data yielded 40 genes that were differentially expressed. Nine genes were upregulated and 31 were downregulated. qRT-PCR was used to validate differential expression of 13 genes with known survival or ap...

Mechanical stimulation is capable of affecting cell apoptosis. Several studies have shown that the Bcl-2 gene family, including and Bax gene, plays an important role in apoptosis, as proteins produced by can inhibit apoptosis while promote Understanding how mechanical alters expression apoptosis-related genes cardiomyocytes contribute to development ways cardiomyocyte necrosis. Intermediate myo...

Deprivation of auditory nerve input in young mice results in dramatic neuron death in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (CN), while the same manipulation performed in older mice does not result in significant neuronal loss. The molecular basis underlying this critical period of susceptibility to loss of afferent input remains largely unknown. One possibility is that developmental differences i...

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) inhibit tumor cell growth and survival, possibly through their ability to regulate the expression of specific proliferative and/or apoptotic genes. However, the HDACi-regulated genes necessary and/or sufficient for their biological effects remain undefined. We demonstrate that the HDACis suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and depsipeptide regulate a h...
