ICRP ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN THE EXPRESSION OF PAROTID SALIVARY PROTEINS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISEASE

The deduced protein sequence of selenoprotein M (14 kDa) shows charac-teristic features of metazoan selenoproteins. The spicule-associated protein(26 kDa) comprises six characteristic repeats of 20 amino acids, composedof 10 distinct hydrophobic regions ( 9[r]

The introduction of PEGylated liposomes improved the dispersion of Gn in aqueous environment, thus making it possible to produce injectable drug solutions, which is es- sential for a better bioavailability of Gn. As shown in the re- sults of[r]

The function of Btf is not fully understood. Btf wasdiscovered as a two-hybrid binding partner for E1B19K, aviral protein similar to Bcl-2 [28]. When fused to the GAL4-DNA binding domain, Btf is sufficient to repress a reportergene [28], showing that Btf can repress transcription[r]

AB0 blood groups and Rhesus factor expression have been associated with carcinogenesis, response to treatment and tumor progression in several malignancies. The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that AB0 blood groups and Rhesus factor expression are associated with clinical outcome[r]

The expression of HER2, estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptor can change during the course of the disease in breast cancer (BC). Therefore, reassessment of these markers at the time of disease progression might help to optimize treatment decisions.

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) is considered a tumor suppressor due to frequent epigenetic and micro-RNA-mediated repression of its gene expression in diverse cancers. In prostate cancer (PCa), elevated expression of miR-30d that targets SOCS1 mRNA is associated with increased risk of di[r]

Antigen-processing machinery molecules play crucial roles in infectious diseases and cancers. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase (ERAP) genes can influence the enzymatic activity of ERAP proteins and are associated with the risk of diseases.

This study explored the effect of liver resection on perioperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and found that the prognostic significance of surgery was associated with changes in CTC counts in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
