Molecular cloning and tissue expression analyses of two novel pepper genes: heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit and ArcA1
Authors: M.H. Deng, J.L. Huo, H.S. Zhu, H. Zhou and J.F. Wen
We isolated two transcription factor genes, heterotrimeric G protein beta 2 subunit (Gβ2) and ArcA1, from pepper (Capsicum annuum). The complete coding sequences were amplified using reversed transcriptase PCR based on conserved sequence information of Solanum lycopersicum and several other plant species. Nucleotide sequence analysis of these two gen.. Read More»

Tristetraprolin: a novel mediator of the anticancer properties of resveratrol
Authors: C. Li, C. Tang and G. He
Resveratrol is a natural compound that exhibits anticancer properties. Previous studies have proved that it can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines and upregulate some cytokines such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The initiation and progression of cancer are associa.. Read More»

Cassava interspecific hybrids with increased protein content and improved amino acid profiles
Authors: P.T.C. Gomes and N.M.A. Nassar
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a principal food for large populations of poor people in the tropics and subtropics. Its edible roots are poor in protein and lack several essential amino acids. Interspecific hybrids may acquire high protein characteristics from wild species. We analyzed 19 hybrids of M. esculenta with its wild relative, M. oligantha, for c.. Read More»

Correlation between the genetic polymorphism of ORMDL3 gene and asthma risk:a meta-analysis
Authors: W.H. Zhai, C.Y. Song, Z.G. Huang and H. Sha
While increasing scientific evidence suggests that the ORMDL3 rs7216389 polymorphism may contribute to a higher susceptibility to asthma, many of the current studies have yielded inconclusive results. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between the ORMDL3 rs7216389 polymorphism and the risk of asthma. An extensive literature search for rele.. Read More»

Protective effect of necrostatin-1 on myocardial tissue in rats with acute myocardial infarction
Authors: Y.R. Liu and H.M. Xu
The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of necrostatin-1 on myocardial tissue of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats and to provide a basis for necrostatin-1 for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. AMI rats (45) were established by ligating the anterior descending branch of the left coronary.. Read More»

Effect of siRNA silencing of inducible co-stimulatory molecule on myocardial cell hypertrophy after cardiac infarction in rats
Authors: W.M. Wang, Z. Liu and G. Chen
As the most common cardiac disease, myocardial infarction is followed by hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes and reconstruction of ventricular structure. The up-regulation of a series of factors including metalloproteinases, inflammatory factors, and growth factors after primary infarction lead to the hypertrophy, apoptosis, necro.. Read More»

Genetic diversity in wild Dipsacus chinensis populations from China based on ISSR markers
Authors: D.-X. Chen, L.-Y. Li, X. Zhang, Y. Wang and Z. Zhang
Wild Dipsacus chinensis plants in China have become endangered owing to over-harvesting and habitat fragmentation. We examined the genetic diversity and genetic structure of 90 individuals from three populations using inter-simple sequence repeat markers and found that 106 of 173 bands amplified by 22 informative and reliable primers were polymorphic. The.. Read More»

Myoglobin A79G polymorphism association with exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage
Authors: T. Cui and M.S. Jiang
We assessed the role of A79G, a polymorphism of the myoglobin gene (MB), in susceptibility to exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage. Between January 2012 and December 2014, a total of 166 cases with exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage and 166 controls were recruited into our study. Genotyping of MB A79G was carried out u..

Construction of suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) adenoviral overexpression vector and its impact on growth hormone- induced lipolysis in swine primary adipocytes
Authors: H.L. Yang, J. Yan, M. Feng, X. Tan, G.Y. Yan, L. Gan and C. Sun
We investigated the effect of overexpression suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) on lipolysis in swine primary adipocytes (pAd) induced by growth hormone (GH). We constructed pAd-SOCS2 adenoviral overexpression vectors to infect HEK293 cells for virus packaging and propagation. Cultured swine primary adipocytes were infected with virus particles; a..
