Negative predictive value of TST and IGRA in anti-TNF treated patients.
question is whether or not TEs within or in the vicinity of asthma susceptible genes modulate the gene expression of these genes. This can be performed using cap-analysis gene expression, a method that specifically and unequivocally identifies the exact transcription start sites of genes [6]. Once the regulated retrotransposon transcriptome of healthy tissue is known, it can be compared with th...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Changes in the Rumen Epithelium of Cattle after the Induction of Acidosis
The transition from normal forage to a highly fermentable diet to achieve rapid weight gain in the cattle industry can induce ruminal acidosis. The molecular host mechanisms that occur in acidosis are largely unknown. Therefore, the histology and transcriptome profiling of rumen epithelium was investigated in normal and acidosis animals to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the dis...
متن کاملTranscriptional Changes of Blood Eosinophils After Methacholine Inhalation Challenge in Asthmatics
BACKGROUND Methacholine challenge is commonly used within the asthma diagnostic algorithm. Methacholine challenge has recently been shown to induce airway remodelling in asthma via bronchoconstriction, without additional airway inflammation. We evaluated the effect of methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction on the peripheral whole-blood transcriptome. METHODS Fourteen males with adult-onset,...
متن کاملRegulation of rice root development by a retrotransposon acting as a microRNA sponge
It is well documented that transposable elements (TEs) can regulate the expression of neighbouring genes. However, their ability to act in trans and influence ectopic loci has been reported rarely. We searched in rice transcriptomes for tissue-specific expression of TEs and found them to be regulated developmentally. They often shared sequence homology with co-expressed genes and contained pote...
متن کاملSwitching of dominant retrotransposon silencing strategies from posttranscriptional to transcriptional mechanisms during male germ-cell development in mice
Mammalian genomes harbor millions of retrotransposon copies, some of which are transpositionally active. In mouse prospermatogonia, PIWI-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) combat retrotransposon activity to maintain the genomic integrity. The piRNA system destroys retrotransposon-derived RNAs and guides de novo DNA methylation at some retrotransposon promoters. However, it remains unclear whether ...
