Kinetics of Gene Induction After Fc RI Ligation of Atopic Monocytes Identified by Suppression Subtractive Hybridization

Use of suppression subtractive hybridization for differential gene expression in stroke: discovery of CD44 gene expression and localization in permanent focal stroke in rats.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CD44 is a transmembrane glycoprotein involved in endothelial cell recognition, lymphocyte trafficking, and regulation of cytokine gene expression in inflammatory diseases. The present report describes the discovery of upregulated CD44 gene expression and its spatial and temporal distribution in the brain after focal stroke. METHODS Rats were subjected to permanent occlu...

Immunological tolerance-related genes in a spontaneous tolerant model of rat liver transplantation explored by suppression subtractive hybridization.

Natural immunological tolerance can be induced in certain types of allogeneic liver transplantation in rats. To screen for genes associated with the induction of tolerance, suppression subtractive hybridization was performed in the rat liver transplantation model between a DA donor and PVG recipient combination where spontaneous immunological tolerance is known to occur without any immunosuppre...

Increased expression of high affinity IgE (FcepsilonRI) receptor-alpha chain mRNA and protein-bearing eosinophils in human allergen-induced atopic asthma.

FcepsilonRI receptors play an important role in allergen-induced mediator release and antigen presentation by mast cells, basophils, and monocyte/macrophages in atopic disorders. The expression of FcepsilonRI by tissue eosinophils in atopic asthma after allergen challenge has not been established. For this reason we attempted to identify mRNA and protein product + FcepsilonRIalpha eosinophils i...

Transcriptional induction of cyclooxygenase-2 in osteoclast precursors is involved in RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Regulation of osteoclast differentiation is key to understanding the pathogenesis and to developing treatments for bone diseases such as osteoporosis. To gain insight into the mechanism of the receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-specific induction of the osteoclast differentiation program, we took a suppression-subtractive hybridization screening approach to identify...
