Analysis of protein profile of tomato root infected with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp lycopersici (Fol) is one of the main diseases affecting tomatoes. The BHRS 2,3 genotype of tomato is, however, resistant to this disease. A proteomic approach was used to understand the defense mechanisms of this genotype using the tomato root, the first tissue that interacts with the fungus, as a target. Protein was .. Read More»

Zymomonas mobilis has aroused considerable interest owing to its rapid metabolism and efficiency in producing ethanol and by-products such as levans, sorbitol, and gluconic acid from simple sugars. We performed a proteomic analysis of Z. mobilis UFPEDA241 to provide a global profile of regulatory proteins. The choice of the methods of extraction and cell lysis are fundamental steps and of great.. Read More»

DNA methylation profile of the DKK2 gene as a biomarker in patients with colorectal cancer

Purpose: Epigenetic changes can be detected in precancerous lesions, suggesting that may be involved in the early stages of carcinogenesis. The methylation of specifics genes has been correlated with the outcome of many different types of cancers. This study compared the levels of DNA methylation between normal and tumor tissues from patients with colorectal cancer .. Read More»

CYP2E1 RsaI and 96-bp insertion genetic polymorphisms associated with risk for colorectal cancer

    T.D. Silva A.V. Felipe C.A.M. Pimenta K. Barão N.M. Forones

We investigated a possible association between alcoholism, cigarette smoking, obesity and CYP2E1 RsaI and 96-bp insertion genetic polymorphisms with risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients with CRC (70 women and 61 men) were matched for gender and age to 206 healthy controls. The mean age of the two groups was 62 years. Meat intake, cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking were assessed using .. Read More»
