IL28B genotype was shown to be associated with treatment outcome of antiviral thearpy for HCV infection. We tried to clarify the molecular feature that was asocciated with IL2B genotype by comparing Hepatic gene expression of HCV related Hepatocellular carcinoma and non-cancerous tissue with Il28B rs8099917 TT genotype and TG/GG genotype.

We hypothesized that the liver plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of ACS. We simultaneously analyzed the gene expression profiles of the liver and heart during acute myocardial ischemia in mice.

View SamplesAppropriate regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal is critical for the maintenance of life long hematopoiesis. However, long-term repeated cell divisions induce the accumulation of DNA damage, especially at telomere, significantly compromises HSC function. Therefore, shelterin elements Pot1a is required to prevent DNA damage response at telomeres in order to maintain their function.
The telomere binding protein Pot1 maintains haematopoietic stem cell activity with age.

View SamplesMast cells, basophils, and eosinophils play an important role in allergic disorders as effector cells. These cells secrete abundant serine proteases as well as chemical mediators and cytokines. Various serine proteases including SLPI are also important for to regulate an allergic response in these effector cells, although the expression profiles and functions of these proteases still remain unclear.

View SamplesSphingomyelin synthase (SMS) 2 is the synthetic enzyme of sphingomyelin (SM), which regulates the fluidity and microdomain structure of the plasma membrane. We investigated the effect of SMS2 deficiency on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced murine colitis, and found suppression of DSS-induced inflammation in SMS2 deficient (SMS2-/-) mice. Results provide insight into the role of SMS2 in inflammation.

View SamplesThe Shumiya cataract rat (SCR) is a model for hereditary cataract. Two-third of these rats develop lens opacity within 10-11-weeks. Onset of cataract is attributed to the synergetic effect of lanosterol synthase (Lss) and farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 (Fdft1) mutant alleles that lead to cholesterol deficiency in the lenses, which in turn adversely affects lens biology including the growth and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs). Nevertheless, the molecular events and changes in gene expression associated with the onset of lens opacity in SCR is poorly understood.
