Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are critical events in neurodegenerative diseases; therefore, molecules that increase cellular antioxidant defenses represent a future pharmacologic strategy to counteract such conditions. The aim of this study was investigate the potential protective effect (PhSe)2 on mouse hippocampal cell line (HT22) exposed tert-BuOOH (in vitro model oxidative stress), as well elucidate mechanisms underlying protection. Our results showed caused time-...
Abstract Hox genes encode transcription factors that specify the body segment identity during development, including crustaceans, such as amphipods and decapods, possess a remarkable diversity of segments specialized appendages. In amphipods, alterations appendages have been obtained using knockout experiment genes, which suggests these are involved in evolution morphology within crustaceans. However, studies crustaceans limited to few species. Here, we identified homeodomain nine genes:...
We designed a 16S rRNA gene PCR-RFLP scheme to identify all currently described Bartonella spp.The genes of spp.were in-silico analyzed in order design RFLP technique able discriminate among different species.The restriction enzymes selected were MaeIII, MseI, Sau96I, BsaAI, DrdI, FokI, BssHII, BstUI, AluI, TspDTI and HphI which, according decision-making tree, facilitated the differentiation species Bartonella.The was experimentally tested Bartonella, including human pathogenic B....
Bartonella bacilliformis es el agente etiológico de la Enfermedad Carrión, endémica del Perú. Pocas investigaciones han sido realizadas acerca los genes asociados a resistencia antimicrobiana en aislados clínicos este patógeno. Estos no están caracterizados molecularmente, ni se conoce región asociada dicha resistencia. Por ello, objetivo trabajo fue caracterizar molecularmente determinante las quinolonas (QRDR) topoisomerasa IV, que está codificada por parC y parE, así como también...
Molecular studies of enzymes involved in sulfite oxidation Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans have not yet been developed, especially the ATP sulfurylase (ATPS) these acidophilus tiobacilli that importance biomining.This enzyme synthesizes and sulfate from adenosine phosphosulfate (APS) pyrophosphate (PPi), final stage by organisms order to obtain energy.The atpS gene (1674 bp) encoding ATPS ATCC 23270 was amplified using PCR, cloned pET101-TOPO plasmid, sequenced expressed Escherichia coli...
