Sex condition has been demonstrated to alter meat quality and sex is a major factor that affects the fatty acid composition of lipids of carcass dissectible or intramuscular depot fats. But the possible genetic molecular mechanism of gender causing meat quality differences is not well defined. Qinchuan cattle, Qinghai yak and Guangxi buffalo are three typical indigenous species of cattle in China. Obivious differences of meat quality exist among the three species of cattle. Few studies have been conducted to elucidate the muscle tissue expression of genes involved in pathways and mechanisms leading to meat quality differences beyond the phenotype properties of beef.

View SamplesGastric cancers account for the fourth most frequent cancer death worldwide. Although many differential gene expression profiles are reported for gastric cancers, their variation at the post-transcriptional level has not been provided yet. In this study, we compared the gene expressions of normal stomach vs. stomach cancer in an exon-wise manner and compared alternatively spliced transcripts. The RNA from normal and cancer tissues of gastric cancer patients were subjected to Exon 1.0 ST microarrays.

View SamplesRearrangements involving the NUP98 gene resulting in fusions to several partner genes occur in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. This study demonstrates that the second FG repeat domain of the NUP98 moiety of the NUP98-HOXA9 fusion protein is important for its cell immortalization and leukemogenesis activities. We demonstrate that NUP98-HOXA9 interacts with MLL via this FG repeat domain and that, in the absence of MLL, NUP98-HOXA9-induced cell immortalization and leukemogenesis are severely inhibited. Molecular analyses indicate that MLL is important for the recruitment of NUP98-HOXA9 to the HOXA locus and for NUP98-HOXA9-induced HOXA gene expression. Our data indicate that MLL is crucial for NUP98-HOXA9 leukemia initiation.
MLL is essential for NUP98-HOXA9-induced leukemia.

View SamplesIn lung cancer progression, p53 mutations are more often observed in invasive tumors than in non-invasive tumors, suggesting that p53 is involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. To understand the nature of p53 function as a tumor suppressor, it is crucial to elucidate the detailed mechanism of the alteration in epithelial cells, the main origin of solid tumors, following p53 inactivation.
TSPAN2 is involved in cell invasion and motility during lung cancer progression.

We demonstrated that it caused neovascularization and enhanced recovery of blood perfusion in a ischemic portion of skeletal muscle in rats with hindlimb ischemia. Therefore we evaluated the effect of fine needle stimulation on skeletal muscle at gene expression level
