A set of novel microsatellite markers developed for an economically important tree, Dracontomelon duperreanum, in China
Authors: Z.F. Wang, H.L. Cao, L.F. Wu, Y. Guo, Q.M. Mei, M. Li, Y. Wang and Z.M. Wang
Dracontomelon duperreanum, the most representative species of the family Anacardiaceae, is an important multipurpose tree in China and Vietnam. However, no genetic diversity studies have been reported on this species. In this study, we identified 11 microsatellite markers for D. duperreanum by using the restriction-site-associ.. Read More»

Mechanism of pingyangmycin-induced apoptosis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Authors: Y.D. Huang, X. Tong, Q. Chen, S.W. Xia, Y. Zhuo, Z.H. Kang and X.Y. Xue
In this study, we investigated the effects of pingyangmycin (PYM) on the growth inhibition and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In this study, we aimed to explore the optimal concentration of PYM to induce the apoptosis of HUVEC and to determine its mechanism of action. After treatment of HUVEC with.. Read More»

CADM1 mRNA expression and clinicopathological significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue
Authors: J.B. Qian, H.B. Liu, Y. Zhu, F. Lu, Q.C. Yang and Y. Shen
The mRNA expression of cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1) and its clinicopathological significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues were investigated. CADM1 mRNA and protein expression were detected in tissue samples from 50 patients with ESCC by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and st.. Read More»

Characterization and development of 56 EST-SSR markers derived from the transcriptome of Odontobutis potamophila
Authors: P.P. Wang, M. Ren, S.Q. Chen, S.W. Yin, C. Zhao, H.Y. Zhang, X.R. Li, Q.Q. Cao and G.Q. Zhou
Expressed sequence tags (ETSs) are the sources of microsatellite development. In this study, we isolated and characterized microsatellite markers for Odontobutis potamophila by using Illumina RNA-sequencing. We sequenced a large number of ESTs and screened 200 potential microsatellites. Consequen.. Read More»

Molecular cloning and differential expression of the glucocorticoid receptorgene in the estuarine tapertail anchovy Coilia nasus
Authors: F.K. Du, G.C. Xu, Y. Li, Z.J. Nie and P. Xu
To understand the regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene (Gcr) during loading and transport stress in fish, the Gcr gene of Coilia nasus was cloned. Gcr in C. nasus is expressed strongly in the liver and muscle, and less stronglyin the gills, brain, spleen, intestine, trunk kidney, and head kidney. Gcr expression in bo.. Read More»

Association of three common single nucleotide polymorphisms of SLC7A7 with the development of glioma in a Chinese population
Authors: H. Zhang and W.J. Shi
Gliomas are brain tumors that can be seriously damaging to human health. The SLC7 family is involved in amino acid or peptide transportation. The relationship between SLC7A7 polymorphisms and the development of glioma has been reported previously by a few studies. Therefore, we performed a hospital based case-control study to .. Read More»

Polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA in the Brazilian Canind�© goat breed
Authors: N.M.V. Silva, E.C. Pimenta Filho, J.K.G. Arandas, M.A. Gomes Filho, E. Ferreira, I. Del Cerro, C. Fonseca and M.N. Ribeiro
The success of the geographical distribution of goat populations around the world is a consequence of the adaptive potential of these breeds. Several relevant traits to the success of the species in colonizing different ecosystems (and use by man) evolved before domestication. These features were relevant for the selection of .. Read More»

Genetic variability in Jatropha curcas L. from diallel crossing
Authors: D.O. Ribeiro, R. Silva-Mann, S.V. Alvares-Carvalho, E.M.S. Souza, M.C. Vasconcelos and A.F. Blank
Physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) presents high oilseed yield and low production cost. However, technical-scientific knowledge on this crop is still limited. This study aimed to evaluate and estimate the genetic variability of hybrids obtained from dialell crossing. Genetic variability was carried out using ISSR molecular marker.. Read More»
