چکیده

The family of ryanodine receptor (RyR) genes encodes three Ca release channels: RyR1, RyR2 and RyR3. In addition to their well known role in regulating contraction in striated muscles, RyRs are expressed in many other cell types, where eventually multiple RyR isoforms can be co-expressed. Recent studies have revealed that several important regulatory mechanisms can modulate RyRs activity under normal and pathological conditions. In this review we shall summarise the most recent developments in this area of research.

Ontology-driven similarity approaches to supporting gene func- tional assessment

Motivation: Bio-ontologies, such as the Gene Ontology, represent important sources of prior knowledge that may be automatically integrated to support predictive data analysis tasks. The assessment of similarity of gene products provides the basis for the implementation of classification tools and the automated validation of functional associations. This study discusses alternative techniques fo...

Correlations Between Plasma Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and Gene Expression of S1P Receptors with Mogenic Regulatory Factors Following Resistance Training

Background: The purpose of present study was to investigate whether Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) levels and its receptors gene expressions are correlated with MyoD and myogenin following resistance training. Materials and Methods: 24 eight-week-old male Wistar rats (190-250 gr) were assigned randomly to a control (N = 12) or training (N = 12) group. Rats climbed a resistance training ladder...

P-64: Innate Immune System Importance in Ectopic Pregnancy with Emphasis on TLR4 Gene

Background: In an ectopic pregnancy (EP) the egg does not reach to the uterus, but instead implants somewhere outside it, usually in fallopian tube. In most cases the exact cause of an ectopic pregnancy is unknown but it is often a result of some sort of damage to the fallopian tube. The tube may have become blocked or narrowed by previous surgery or infection. An active immune system need to r...

The neuroprotective mechanism of cinnamaldehyde against amyloid-β in neuronal SHSY5Y cell line: The role of N-methyl-D-aspartate, ryanodine, and adenosine receptors and glycogen synthase kinase-3β

Objective: Cinnamaldehyde may be responsible for some health benefits of cinnamon such as its neuroprotective effects. We aimed to investigate the cinnamaldehyde neuroprotective effects against amyloid beta (Aβ) in neuronal SHSY5Y cells and evaluate the contribution of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), ryanodine, and adenosine receptors and glycogen ...

P-74: Variation in the Expression of TLR3 in Ectopic Pregnancy

Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) form the major family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which are involved in the innate immunity. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. In human, 10 members of this family have been identified so far. Among these TLRs, TLR3, 7, 8 and 9 designed to recognize nucleic acids and expresse...
