Ubiquitin - proteasome system (UPS), the major protein degradation pathway in the cells, typically degrades short - lived and damaged proteins and regulates growth and stress responses. This pathway is altered in various cancers, including Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL begins with a change in bone marrow cells and is the most common type of leukemia in children under 15 years. UBE2Q1...

bHLH transcription factors play an animated role in the plant kingdom during growth and development, responses to various abiotic stress. In this current study, we conducted, genome-wide survey of Liriodendron chinense (Hemsl) Sarg., 91 LcbHLH family members were identified. Identified gene grouped into 19 different subfamilies based on conserved motifs phylogenetic analysis. Our results showed...

In vitro derivation of germ cells from different stem cells sources has been challenging in the treatment of male infertility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have an essential role in gene expression at post-transcriptional level. The aim of this research was to find more about miRNA-17 and miRNA-146 expression during differentiation of spermatogonial stem cell like cells (SSC like cells) from mouse bone m...

results results of the current study showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration value of cinnamaldehyde against m. tuberculosis was 200 µg/ml. moreover, rt-pcr data showed that a total of 25 genes were regulated by the cinnamaldehyde. of these, 12 genes were up-regulated, and 13 genes were down-regulated. conclusions cinnamaldehyde is a pattern to expand the new anti-tb drugs, because the...

Bag context is a device for regulated rewriting in tree and string grammars. It represents context that is not part of the developing tree or string, but evolves on its own during a derivation. Motivation for investigating bag context tree languages is provided by showing that the class of bag context tree languages is the closure of the class of random context tree languages under linear top-d...

Objective(s): Non-invasive treatment options for retinoblastoma (RB), the most common malignant eye tumor among children, are lacking. Epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) accelerates cell proliferation, survival, and invasion of many tumors including RB. However, RB treatment by targeting EGFR has not yet been researched. In the current study, we investigated the effect of EGFR down-regula...

Background: Salinity is a major environmental limiting factor, which affect agricultural production. The two Manilkara seedlings (M. roxburghiana and M. zapota) with high economic importance, could not adapt well to higher soil salinity and little is known about their proteomic mechanisms. Objectives: The mechanisms responsible ...

Objectives:The expression levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs) are elevated in many cancers, and this overexpression is often associated with both a poor survival and a therapeutic outcome. Curcumin is an anti-cancer agent that also induces a heat shock response. HSPs confer resistance to curcumin-induced apoptosis in cancerous cells. The aim of the current study was to analyze variations in th...

introduction: gtpase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase (graf) is a recently identified gtpase activating protein that has the tumor suppressor properties. however, the expression level of graf in leukemia had received less attention. the main purpose of this research was the evaluating of the expression level of graf in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml). materials and met...

Objective Genetic and morphologic similarities between mouse embryonic stem cell (ESCs) and Primordial Germ Cell (PGCs) make it difficult to distinguish the two cell types in in vitro differentiation. Using the expression of specific markers of germ cells that are not expressed or expressed at low levels in ESCs, can help recognizing in vitro differentiated cells MaterialsAndMethods In this stu...
