By impairing both function and survival, the severe reduction in oxygen availability associated with high-altitude environments is likely to act as an agent of natural selection. We used genomic candidate gene approaches search for evidence such genetic First, a genome-wide allelic differentiation scan (GWADS) comparing indigenous highlanders Tibetan Plateau (3,200–3,500 m) closely related lowland Han revealed significant divergence across eight SNPs located near EPAS1 . This encodes...

Metastasis is responsible for the rapid recurrence and poor survival of malignancies. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has a critical role in metastasis. Increasing evidence indicates that EMT can be regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). The aim this study was to investigate miR-26b modulating epithelial-mesenchymal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well identify its underlying mechanism action. expression level assessed multiple HCC cell lines (HepG2, MHCC97H, Hep3B, MHCC97L, HCCC9810,...

Lycopene is a natural carotenoid with antioxidation properties. The objective of the present study was to investigate roles glutamate and proline in lycopene biosynthesis newly isolated purple non-sulfur bacterium Cereibacter sphaeroides DT.1, under aerobic conditions. This strain contained distinct CrtI4 capable converting phytoene via four-step desaturation. In order enhance production, crtC knockout mutant constructed homologous recombination. Supplementation or fermentative medium...

Abstract BACKGROUND Gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar ) is one of the most important pests in world. Emamectin benzoate (EMB) widely used control agricultural and forestry pests. Here, we explored sublethal effects EMB on gypsy moths order to better understand toxicological mechanism EMB. RESULTS The concentration exposure significantly decreased larvae body weight. To further explore mechanism, indicators related digestion nutrient metabolism were detected. results showed that caused midgut...

Abstract Selenium (Se) deficiency induces typical clinical and pathological changes causes various responses at the molecular level in several different chicken organs; kidney is one of target organs Se deficiency. To explore mechanisms that underlie effects microRNA‐33‐3p (miR‐33‐3p) on deficiency‐induced apoptosis, 60 chickens were randomly divided into two groups (30 per group). We found increased expression miR‐33‐3p kidney. A disintegrin metalloprotease domain 10 (ADAM10) was verified...

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism cadmium-induced apoptosis in chicken spleens and antagonistic effects selenium. We duplicated selenium-cadmium interaction model examined expression apoptosis-, immune-, mitochondrial dynamics- energy metabolism-related genes. results demonstrated that after treatment with cadmium, frequency significantly increased, morphological characteristics were observed. pro-apoptotic genes anti-apoptotic decreased. mRNA levels tumor necrosis...

Vein endothelial cells (VECs) constitute an important barrier for macromolecules and circulating from the blood to tissues, stabilizing colloid osmotic pressure of blood, regulating vascular tone, rapidly changing intercellular connection, maintaining normal physiological function. Tight junction has been discovered as structural basis connection may play a key role in injuries or diseases selenium (Se) deficiency symptoms. Hence, we replicated Se‐deficient broilers model detected specific...

Abstract Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that has several functions in cellular processes related to cancer prevention. While the cancericidal effect of Se been reported liver cancer, mechanism not clarified. MiR-29a widely as a tumor suppressor; however, it also acts carcinogenic agent by increasing cell invasion human epithelial cells and hepatoma cells. In previous study, we found miR-29a-3p Se-sensitive miRNA. However, its chicken hepatocellular carcinoma line (LMH) still...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered as the second common death-induced cancer. More recently, association of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with CRC has been extensively investigated. Therefore, present study was performed to determine whether lncRNA MAF BZIP Transcription Factor G Antisense RNA 1 (MAFG-AS1) could regulate biological activities cells and unravel underlying mechanisms.CRC corresponding adjacent tissues were collected expression MAFG-AS1, microRNA-149-3p (miR-149-3p)...
