There is increasing evidence to suggest that splicing decisions are largely made when the nascent RNA still associated with chromatin. Here we demonstrate activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs) influences splice site selection. Using splicing-sensitive microarrays, identified ∼700 genes whose was altered after HDAC inhibition. We provided inhibition induced H4 acetylation and increased Polymerase II (Pol II) processivity along an alternatively spliced element. In addition, reduced...
Upregulation of genes for interferon (IFN)-γ and CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)3 expression, two crucial molecules in sarcoid inflammation granuloma formation, is directly controlled by the T-helper (Th)1 transcription factor T-bet (T-box, expressed T-cells). However, there no information on expression sarcoidosis or its relationship with “sarcoidosis-associated” genes. Therefore, we investigated mRNA and, parallel, a spectrum known to be involved pathogenesis. Transcripts were determined...
Introduction: Patients with pulmonary and plus extrapulmonary sarcoidosis differ in symptom severity health status impairment. To date there is no information on differences clinical laboratory parameters between these phenotypes limited involvement Czech patients exists. Methods: We therefore compared data (age, gender, organ involvement, lung function tests) (blood counts, bronchoalveolar fluid (BAL) cellular profile, serum levels of CRP, SACE, sIL-2R, neopterin) newly diagnosed (n=107)...
XB130 is a novel oncoprotein that promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation and migration. Its physiological function in vivo largely unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the role lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic responses acute lung injury. LPS intraperitoneally administrated Xb130 knockout (KO) wild type (WT) mice. There significant weight loss KO mice at Day 2 significantly higher disease scores during 7 days observation. levels tumor necrosis factor-alpha,...
