Expression of calbindin-D9k in the early pregnant rat uterus: effects of RU 486 and correlation to estrogen receptor mRNA.
Calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k) is a calcium binding protein expressed at high levels in the rat uterus. The CaBP-9k gene carries an estrogen response element which is involved in the steroid hormone regulation of the gene during the estrous cycle and gestation. The present study was aimed at determining expression of the gene during the first half of pregnancy and to assess the role of progesterone (P...
متن کاملCalbindin-D9k gene expression during the perinatal period in the rat: correlation to estrogen receptor expression in uterus.
Calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k) is a cytosolic calcium binding protein mainly expressed in duodenum, placenta and uterus. The gene encoding the rat CaBP-9k is subject to tissue specific induction by 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (intestine) and estradiol (E2) (uterus). Control of placental expression remains unknown. The expression of CaBP-9k mRNA during the perinatal period was studied (pregnancy day 21 (P...
متن کاملTRPV6 and Calbindin-D9k-expression and localization in the bovine uterus and placenta during pregnancy
BACKGROUND Transient receptor potential channel type 6 (TRPV6) and Calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k) are involved in the active calcium (Ca2+) transport mechanism in many tissues including placenta and uterus, suggesting a role in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Moreover, TRPV6 and CaBP-9k seem to support the materno-fetal Ca2+ transport that is crucial for fetal Ca2+ homeostasis, bone gr...
متن کاملHistologic and histomorphometric changes of testis following oral exposure to methyl tertiary-butyl ether in adult rat
Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is used to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone in urban air and to boost fuel octane. There is a lack of knowledge in the literature about the histomorphometric changes of the testis following exposure to MTBE. Therefore, this experimental study was performed to determine the effect of oral exposure to MTBE on histologic and histomorphometric changes of testis in...
