2019-10-12
As a co-factor, CIITA lacks the ability to recognize and directly bind to specific DNA elements to regulate transcription; instead, it relies on interaction with sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs) to be recruited to the chromatin. Therefore, the observation that CIITA binds to a specific

Eggs have been recognized as an important contributor of functional ingredients for humans [3]. Egg yolk is composed of various biologically active proteins. The water-soluble proteins of egg yolk have been examined for their functional effects on longitudinal bone growth during the growth period in

DNA PK Jackson is activated
2019-10-12
DNA-PK (Jackson, 1997) is activated by DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs). It is a trimeric complex composed of the catalytic subunit, DNA-PKcs, and the Ku70/80 heterodimer. DNA-PK mediates non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), which joins programmed DSBs created during V(D)J recombination and class swi

Introduction Coping with DNA damage is possible thanks to surveillance mechanisms (checkpoints), that detect the problem and promote its solution [1], [2], and to repair and tolerance pathways that remove the lesions or reduce the damage consequences [3], [4]. Failures in these processes have a h

Real-time PCR, as described previously with minor modifications, was used to detect DNA . The PCR mixture (Qiagen) was as follows: 5mM MgCl2, 2.5μl of 10x PCR Buffer, 0.125μl of HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, 0.25mM of each dNTP, 0.4μM of each primer and 0.1μM of FAMlabelled probe (‘5-aacaattggagggcaagg

2019-10-11
During ischemia, the impact of CK2 on mitochondria varies in different organs/tissues. For example, CK2α upregulation during ischemia leads to disrupted mitochondrial homeostasis and mediates cardiomyocyte ischemic injury [31]. Specifically, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) progressively increases CK2α to

Four-μm thick sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from uterine cervical cancers were cut with a microtome and dried overnight at 37 °C on a silanized-slide (Dako, Carpentaria, CA, USA). The protocol of the universal Dako Labeled Streptavidin–Biotin kit (Dako) was followed for

A previous pharmacokinetic study of curcumin in mice demonstrated that curcumin could not be detected in plasma after a single oral dose of 75 mg/kg of curcumin. After 4-months administration of 75 and 300 mg/kg of curcumin, plasma levels of curcumin and THC were 0.095 and 0.465 μM and 0.025 and 0.1

We also found downregulation of TRIM32 in the hearts of dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients in addition to TAC and phenylephrine treated mice [51]. TRIM32 and Dysbindin are known to interact in skeletal muscle, and we could confirm this interaction in cardiomyocytes as well. In cardiomy

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of aberrant methylation of promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes in the clonal evolution from MGUS to MM. Thus, we analyzed in MGUS, SMM, and symptomatic MM patients, the methylation status of 4 genes—p15, p16, p53, and DAPK—whose promoter hypermet
