D4-GDI is a Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor that is widely expressed in hematopoietic cells. Its possible expression and function in breast cancer cells has not been described. Here, we found that D4-GDI is expressed in a panel of breast cancer cell lines, but not in benign-derived mammary epithelial cells. Knockdown of D4-GDI expression in MDA-MB-231 cells by RNA interference blocks cell motili...

MAGE-D4 is a novel member of MAGE super-family. It has preliminarily been demonstrated that MAGE-D4 mRNA is not expressed in majority of normal tissues except for brain and ovary in which only trace amount of MAGE-D4 mRNA can be detected, but predominantly expressed in glioma. MAGE-D4 protein expression and its immunogenicity in glioma have not been elucidated well. This study was designed to a...

The aim was to evaluate the association of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) with threonine (T), in broiler diets, on performance, carcass quality and gut histomorphometric variables. One hundred Ross male broilers (1 to 43 days old) were distributed into four treatments D1: basal diet (BD), D2: BD plus 5 g Sc/kg feed, D3: BD plus 30% T and D4: D3 plus 5 g Sc/kg feed. Productive v...

In a previous study, we found that total body irradiation (TBI) was essential to induce acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic H-2-incompatible splenocyte (SP) transplantation in SCID mice. SCID mice (H-2d) conditioned with cyclophosphamide and transplanted intravenously (IV) with 5 x 10(7) C57BL/6 (H-2b) SP developed chronic GVHD within 3 months posttransplant without any evid...

BACKGROUND The presence of rennin-angiotensin components in mammalian ovaries and their involvement in ovarian physiology have been established. In the present study, effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na(+)/K(+)/ATPase) expression and development of sheep embryos was evaluated. METHODS The abattoir-derived Cumulus Oocyte Complexes (COC) were rand...

Background: Allergic diseases have increased during the past decade worldwide. Th2 type lymphocyte response is known to play an important role in the process of allergic inflammation. IL-4, a mediator of type II cytokine response increases IgE synthesis and Interferon gamma, a cytokine of type I response interferes with IL-4 and inhibits IgE production. Selenium is an essential component of glu...
