Screening and identification of microsatellite markers associated with cold tolerance in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Authors: H.P. Zhu, Z.G. Liu, M.X. Lu, F.Y. Gao, X.L. Ke and Z.H. Huang
Tilapia is an important fish cultured in tropical and subtropical areas. Cold sensitivity limits the expansion of tilapia culture into colder regions of the world, and mass mortalities of cultured tilapia have been reported due to severe cold currents in winter. Since the late 1990s, several strains of Nile tilapia have been domesticated to improve the ab.. Read More»

A single nucleotide polymorphism in NEUROD1 is associated with production traits in Nelore beef cattle
Authors: P.S.N. de Oliveira, P.C. Tizioto, W. Malago Jr, M.L. do Nascimento, A.S.M. Cesar, W.J.S. Diniz, M.M. de Souza, D.P.D. Lanna, R.R. Tullio, G.B. Mour�£o, M. de A. Mudadu, L.L. Coutinho and L.C. de A. Regitano
Feed efficiency and carcass characteristics are late-measured traits. The detection of molecular markers associated with them can help breeding programs to select animals early in life, and to predict breeding values with high accuracy. The objective of this study was to identify polymorphisms in the functional and positional .. Read More»

Effect of IL-17 monoclonal antibody Secukinumab combined with IL-35 blockade of Notch signaling pathway on the invasive capability of hepatoma cells
Authors: H.CH. Li, Y.X. Zhang, Y. Liu and Q.SH. Wang
We investigated the effect of the IL-17 monoclonal antibody Secukinumab combined with IL-35 in the blockade of the Notch signaling pathway on the invasive capability of hepatoma cells. We examined the effects of IL-17 antibody or IL-35 treatment alone or in combination on cell invasion and migration capabilities with Transwell.. Read More»

HLA-A gene polymorphisms contribute to osteoporosis susceptibility in postmenopausal Han Chinese women
Authors: S.M. Li, H. Guo, H.J. Yang, M.Q. Lv and D.X. Zhou
Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by low bone mineral density, deterioration in bone microarchitecture, and increased fracture risk and is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. HLA is a complex gene family; previous studies have shown that it plays an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis among Japanese and Greek populations. P.. Read More»

Molecular-level effects of eribulin and paclitaxel on breast cancer based on differential co-expression network analysis
Authors: J. Qin and Y.H. Chen
We investigated the effects of eribulin and paclitaxel on breast cancer (BC) by exploring molecular biomarkers and pathways. Co-expression networks were constructed by differentially co-expressed genes and links, and centralities were analyzed to explore the hub genes. Pathway-enrichment analysis was performed. The hub genes w.. Read More»

Association of GSTP1 and XRCC1 gene polymorphisms with clinical outcomes of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: J.Y. Liu, Q.M. Liu and L.R. Li
We investigated the association between the polymorphisms GSTP1 rs1695 and XRCC1 rs1799782 and rs25487 and the clinical outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Genotyping of GSTP1 rs1695 and XRCC1 rs1799782, and rs25487 was conducted by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymo.. Read More»

Effects of miR-26a on the expression of Beclin 1 in retinoblastoma cells
Authors: M. Li, X.M. Chen, D.M. Wang, L. Gan and Y. Qiao
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of miR-26a on Beclin 1 expression in retinoblastoma (RB) cell lines (Y79 and WERi-RB-1). RB cells were transfected with miR-26a mimic, antagomir-26a, or control mimic. The Beclin 1 mRNA and protein levels were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot,..

EDA mutation as a cause of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: a case report and review of the literature
Authors: S.X. Huang, J.L. Liang, W.G. Sui, H. Lin, W. Xue, J.J. Chen, Y. Zhang, W.W. Gong, Y. Dai and M.L. Ou
Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) represents a collection of rare disorders that result from a failure of development of the tissues derived from the embryonic ectoderm. ED is often associated with hair, teeth, and skin abnormalities, which are serious conditions affecting the quality of life of the patient. To date, a large number of genes have been found to be ..
