Promoter Methylation and Gene Expression in Human CD34+ Stem Cells Derived Erythroid Lineage by MicroRNA
Background: Stem Cell differentiation is a process composed of vast variety of factors which are controlled by a network of certain mechanisms. This study aims to determine the possible role of DNA methylation, a potent regulator of VHL, ECAD and RUNX3 genes during Erythroid differentiation driven by miR-451. Materials and Methods: To determine the methylation status of promoters and the e...
متن کاملTissue Specific Expression of Human Calcitonin Gene in Potato Tubers by an Organ Specific Promoter
To increase the production level of heterologous proteins in plants, strategies such as choice of strongerpromoters, optimization of codon usage and specific localization of foreign proteins are of major concern.Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid polypeptide is a powerful and specific inhibitor of bone resorption and isused to treat several human diseases. Calcitonin activity is...
متن کاملSelective reporter expression in mast cells using a chymase promoter.
Primate alpha-chymases are mast cell neutral proteases that are involved in regulating several regulatory peptides including angiotensin II. Because of significant substrate specificity differences among the chymase group of enzymes, animal models that overexpress primate chymases are crucial for delineating the in vivo function of these enzymes. Activation of alpha-prochymase requires processi...
متن کاملGene Expression under F8 Promoter Driving In Mouse Hepatoma Cells: A Step towards Gene Therapy of Hemophilia
Background and Objectives: Significant progress has been made in treatment of hemophilia. Ex-vivo gene therapy is going popular due to the capability of this method in using isogenic cells for genetic manipulation and reintroducing them into same host after proliferation. Most gene therapy techniques use viral vectors, which usually harbor a strong and non-specific promoter (e...
متن کاملNuclear factor-κB1 expression levels in human gastric adenocarcinoma
NF-κB pathway is a link between inflammation and cancer and is involved in cellular responses to different stimuli. Gastrointestinal lumen is exposed to many inflammatory agents such as foods, free radicals and bacterial or viral antigens. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible role of NF-κB1in gastric adenocarcinoma. To detect the relative level of NF-κB1transcript, total RN...
