Background: Uncontrolled cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis are the main characteristics of cancer cells. Therefore, a substance with the capability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells could be known as an anti-cancer material. Probiotics are useful microorganisms that are crucial for the host’s health.Materials and Methods: In the present stu...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a lesion of the oral cavity with an unknown etiology. Several studies have been performed on the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in RAS. The main purpose of this paper was to review TNF-α level and its gene polymorphism in patients with RAS, the factors influencing the production of TNF-α, a...


 Purpose: To investigate the effect of miR-339 on neuropathic pain.
 Methods: A rat pain model was established through chronic constriction injury (CCI). Expression in spinal cord determined 14 days later. Microglial inflammatory response evaluated using immunofluorescence analysis ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1), while IL-6 and TNF-α were assessed by enzyme-linked ...

In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis on high-throughput gene expression data to identify TNF-α-mediated genes implicated in lung cancer. We first investigated the gene expression profiles of two independent TNF-α/TNFR KO murine models. The EGF receptor signaling pathway was the top pathway associated with genes mediated by TNF-α. After matching the TNF-α-mediated mouse genes to their hum...

Objective: The goal of this research was to determine the influence of 4 weeks aerobic training on gene expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 30 male wistar rats were partitioned into three groups (n=10), d...

Antigen receptor locus V(D)J recombination requires interactions between widely separated variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments, but the mechanisms that generate these interactions are not well understood. Here we assessed mechanisms that direct developmental stage-specific long-distance interactions at the Tcra/Tcrd locus. The Tcra/Tcrd locus recombines Tcrd gene segments ...

Context: The relationship between polymorphisms in the location of cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and lung cancer has been investigated many studies. Accordingly, present meta-analysis study focused on TNF-α-238 gene cancer. Methods: Articles were collected from Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed electronic databases until 2022. articles searched based keywords “Lung cancer,” “238 Gene”, “t...

High viral tolerance coupled with an extraordinary regulation of the immune response makes bats a great model to study host-pathogen evolution. Although many immune-related gene gains and losses have been previously reported in bats, important families such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) remain understudied. We built exhaustive bioinformatic pipeline targeting major defensins cathelicidins ex...
