Effects of dietary folate and aging on gene expression in the colonic mucosa of rats: implications for carcinogenesis.
Folate depletion and aging are risk factors for colorectal cancer. We investigated the effects of folate status and aging on gene expression in the rat colon. Young (weanling) and older (12 month) rats were fed folic acid depleted (0 mg/kg) and supplemented (8 mg/kg) diets for 20 weeks. Gene expression was measured in colonic mucosal scrapings (n = 3 per group) using oligonucleotide arrays (Aff...
متن کاملBioelectrical signals improve cardiac function and modify gene expression of extracellular matrix components
AIMS Beyond the influence of stimulating devices on cardiac excitation, their use in treating patients with heart failure has positive effects on the myocardium at the molecular level. Electrical signals can induce a wide spectrum of effects in living tissue. Therefore, we sought to determine whether applying electrical microcurrent directly to failing hearts leads to functional improvement. ...
متن کاملDietary conjugated linoleic acid modify gene expression in liver, muscles, and fat tissues of finishing pigs.
The aim of this study was to investigate underlying mechanisms of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on lipid metabolism in various tissues of pigs. Sixteen gilts (73 ± 3 kg) were fed a control (containing sunflower oil) or an experimental diet in which 4% of sunflower oil was replaced by CLA, and slaughtered at an average BW of 117 ± 4.9 kg. Transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activat...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression during multistage carcinogenesis.
The use of the mouse skin multistage model of carcinogenesis has aided our understanding of critical target genes in chemical carcinogenesis. The mutagenic activation of the Harvey-ras proto-oncogene has been found to be an early event associated with the initiation of mouse skin tumors by the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 7,12 dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene and the pure initiator ethyl carbam...
متن کاملGenomic components of carcinogenesis.
Many of the genes encoding growth factors, growth factor receptors, enzymes, and other effector molecules that regulate normal cell growth are designated protooncogenes. Oncogenes, those genes associated with cellular transformation, differ from their protooncogenic progenitors by being mutated, overexpressed, or expressed at inappropriate times or locations in the cell. One of the activities o...
