Patch budding (bud grafting) is a commonly used method for pecan reproduction; however, the grafting survival rate varies with cultivars. Clarifying underlying mechanisms of successful pivotal graft technique improvement. Here, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted to dissect key pathways and genes related pecan. Based on transcriptome data two contrasting cultivars...

background: it has been reported that secreted frizzled-related protein-4 known as an antagonist of wnt signaling pathway plays a role in luteinization process of rodent granulosa cells. the purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine whether recombinant human secreted frizzled-related protein-4 (rhsfrp-4) could directly induce terminal differentiation of rat granulosa cells (gcs) and 2)...

Ethylene is essential for many developmental processes and a key mediator of biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. The ethylene signaling and response pathway includes Ethylene Response Factors (ERFs), which belong to the transcription factor family APETALA2/ERF. It is well known that ERFs regulate molecular response to pathogen attack by binding to sequences containing AGCCGCC motifs ...

Purpose Periodontitis and diabetes are highly prevalent chronic diseases associated with upregulated inflammation that may adversely affect each other. The aim of this study is to determine underlying molecular mechanisms via bioinformatic tools as a guide for future studies. Materials methods Expression data (GSE156993) Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) (P) patients was selected from the Gene Om...

Phosphoaspartate (pAsp) is a labile posttranslational modification involved in bacterial signaling. To monitor pAsp we designed chemical proteomics method and revealed insights into the antimicrobial response triggered by human peptide hormone.

Objective(s): Effects of ethyl acetate extract of Salsola collina (EES) on brain-gut peptides and interstitial cells of gastric Cajal in rats with diabetic gastroparesis were explored. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into six groups: normal control group (NC), diabetic gastroparesis model group (DGP), low, medium, and high dose ...

Insulin signaling in the CNS modulates satiety and glucose metabolism, but insulin target neurons are poorly defined. We have previously shown that ablation of insulin receptors (InsR) in Glut4-expressing tissues results in systemic abnormalities of insulin action. We propose that Glut4 neurons constitute an insulin-sensitive neuronal subset. We determined their gene expression profiles using f...
