[ 1 ] - Expression profile of ZFX isoform3/variant 5 in gastric cancer tissues and its association with tumor size

Objective(s):Previous studies demonstrate that changes in pre-mRNA splicing play a significant role in human disease development. Furthermore, many cancer-associated genes are regulated by alternative splicing. There are mounting evidences that splice variants which express predominantly in tumors, have clear diagnostic value and may provide potential drug targets. Located on the X chromosome, ...

[ 2 ] - HBB FSC 36-37 (-T) Gene Mutation Detection in Carriers of Thalassemia Minor Using High Resolution Melting Analysis

Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...

[ 3 ] - The Potential Mechanism of ZFX Involvement in Cell Growth

Background:The zinc-finger X linked (ZFX) gene encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of self-renewal of stem cells. Due to the role of ZFX in cell growth, understanding ZFX protein-protein interactions helps to clarify its proper biological functions in signaling pathways. The aim of this study is to define ZFX protein-protein interactions and the role of ZFX in cell growth. ...

[ 4 ] - بررسی مولکولی و آنالیز بیوانفورماتیکی دو جهش شایع ژن فنیل‌آلانین هیدروکسیلاز(PAH) با روش HRM

سابقه و هدف: بیماری فنیل­کتونوری شایع­ترین خطای مادرزادی متابولیسم آمینواسید در جهان است و نرخ بروز آن در ایران در حال افزایش است. هدف از مطالعه حاضر، بررسی کارایی روش HRM به عنوان روشی سریع و مناسب در شناسایی جهش­های شایع ژن فنیل­آلانین هیدروکسیلاز منجمله IVS10-11G>A و P281L می­باشد، تا با کمک به تشخیص زود هنگام این بیماری بتوان از بروز علائم آن جلوگیری کرد. مواد و روش­ها: در این مطالعه مورد-ش...

[ 5 ] - بررسی بیان RNA ی غیر کد کننده ی بلند Hottip (lncRNA) در رده ی سلولی B16F10 ملانومای موشی

زمینه و هدف: ملانوما یکی از انواع سرطان پوست است که نسبت به سایر سرطان های پوست خطرناک تر می باشد. یکی از عوامل موثر در ایجاد سرطان ها، گروهی از RNA های غیر کد کننده اند که به نام lncRNA (long noncoding RNA) شناخته می شوند. این مولکول های غیر کد کننده بیش از 200 باز طول دارند و به عنوان یک تنظیم کننده در پیشرفت سرطان عمل می کنند Hottip (HOXA transcript at the distal tip) یک lncRNA ی بین ژنی است...

[ 6 ] - Evaluation of Long Non-Coding RNAs: HNF1A-AS1 and MVIH Expressions and Their Clinical Significance in Human Gastric Cancer

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Late diagnosis is the main cause of the high rate of treatment failure and death among patients with gastric cancer; therefore identifying the molecular basis of cancer initiation and metastasis is so critical for developing efficient methods for early diagnosis and therapy. long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the largest group of no...

[ 7 ] - Impact of Metformin and Pioglitazone on Serum Level of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Lipid Profiles during Implantation Window in Diabetic Rats

Objective Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the serum lipid profile and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-ɑ) level in diabetic rats at the time of implantation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could affect various systems, including innate immune system and causes chronic low-grade inflammation which increases the level of TNF-ɑ. Furthermore, T2DM is often accompanied by imp...

[ 8 ] - Evaluation of Osteopontin Gene Expression in Endometrium of Diabetic Rat Models Treated with Metformin and Pioglitazone

Objective Osteopontin (Opn) is one of the co-factors which participates in cell adhesion and invasion during implantation process. Increased incidence of spontaneous abortion is reported in diabetic women. Several reports have shown Opn gene expression changes in diabetic condition in several tissues. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of diabetes on Opn gene expression ...
