conclusions expression levels of 1,426 genes were significantly up-regulated in the mutant compared to wt. furthermore, 301 genes were down-regulated with false discovery rates (fdr) of < 0.001 and absolute value of log2 ratio of ≥ 1. results a total of 4,182,944 and 4,182,021 clean tags were obtained from the wt and a nonpathogenic mutant stain (bct89), respectively, and 10,410 differentially ...

sporadic alzheimer’s disease (sad) is a multi-factorial disease caused by genetic, epigenetic, environmental and metabolic factors. current understandings of the possible mechanisms of ad such as inflammation and oxidative stresses in the brain have led us to investigation of potential ad therapeutics. currently herbal medicines with fewer side effects comparing to other chemical medicine are i...

background: acute promyelocytic leukemia (apl) is a unique subtype of acute leukemia. apl is a curable disease; however, drug resistance, early mortality, disease relapse and treatment-related complications remain challenges in apl patient management. one issue underlying these challenges is that the molecular mechanisms of the disease are not sufficiently understood. materials and methods: in ...

Background: It is now well-demonstrated that histone demethylases play an important role in developmental controls, cell-fate decisions, and a variety of diseases such as cancer. Lysine-specific demethylase 5D (KDM5D) is a male-specific histone demethylase that specifically demethylates di- and tri-methyl H3K4 at the start site of active genes. In this light, the aim of this study was to invest...

Background Bone marrow and adipose tissue are two main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Some of studies suggest that there are some differences in gene expression profile of MSCs-derived from various tissues. To investigate gene expression profile by qRT-PCR, an appropriate reference gene with stable expression level should be chosen for normalizing data.  This study was designed to e...
