Optimization of TNF-alpha, overexpression in Escherichia coli using response surface methodology: Purification of the protein and oligomerization studies
(2012)
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is responsible for many autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Chron's disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Thus, inhibition of TNF-alpha is a major challenge ...
A statistical approach for optimization of RANKL overexpression in Escherichia coli: Purification and characterization of the protein
(2013)
Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK) and its cognate ligand (RANICL) is a member of the TNF superfamily of cytokines which is essential in osteobiology and its overexpression has been implicated in the ...
DIANA-LncBase: experimentally verified and computationally predicted microRNA targets on long non-coding RNAs
(2013)
Recently, the attention of the research community has been focused on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their physiological/pathological implications. As the number of experiments increase in a rapid rate and transcriptional ...
The shaping of invasive glioma phenotype by the ubiquitin-proteasome system
(2013)
Protein degradation is an indispensable process for cells which is often deregulated in various diseases, including malignant conditions. Depending on the specific cell type and functions of expressed proteins, this ...
Interleukin-6 and the matrix metalloproteinase response in the vitreous during proliferative vitreoretinopathy
(2011)
Purpose: To investigate the levels of IL-6 in the vitreous of patients with RRD complicated with PVR and correlate the IL-6 levels with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1,-2,-3,-8,-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases ...
Lack of association between the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene polymorphism and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Caucasian men
(2013)
Glucuronidation, mediated by the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) enzyme, is an important metabolic process during which steroids are converted to more easily excreted compounds in steroid target tissues, such as ...
Comparative analysis of FV vectors with human alpha- or beta-globin gene regulatory elements for the correction of beta-thalassemia
(2012)
beta-Globin locus control region (LCR) sequences have been widely used for the regulated expression of the human beta-globin gene in therapeutic viral vectors. In this study, we compare the expression of the human beta-globin ...
Oxidative stress and antioxidant status in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2015)
Objective: To estimate oxidative stress and antioxidant components during different stages of autoimmune liver diseases and assess their possible implication on disease progression. Methods: We determined several markers ...
Polymorphisms of the CD24 Gene Are Associated with Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Meta-Analysis
(2015)
CD24 is a cell-surface protein mainly expressed in cells of the immune and central nervous system (CNS), cells that play a critical role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). In the current study, we investigated ...
Effect of CRH on NO bioavailability, ROS production and antioxidant defense systems in endothelial EAhy926 cells
(2010)
Local or 'Immune' Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) is secreted in peripheral tissues and plays a direct immunomodulatory role as an endocrine or paracrine mediator of inflammation. The present study was undertaken to ...
