KIR/HLA Gene Profile Implication in Systemic Sclerosis Patients from Mexico.
(Hindawi, 2019-01-06)
Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, and multisystemic disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies and fibrosis. The pathogenesis involves the interaction between immune system cells such ...
Association Between the 5,10-MTHFR 677C>T and RFC1 80G>A Polymorphisms and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-05)
Polymorphisms in folate-related genes are closely related to the development of cancer. The 5,10-MTHFR 677C>T and RFC1 80G>A polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of susceptibility to pediatric ALL.
Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase in type B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(Avens Publishing, 2019-02)
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT or DNTT) is a nuclear enzyme whose expression is restricted to normal tissue (thymus and bone marrow) and to lymphoid precursors of the B and T cell. TdT catalyzes the addition ...
vacA s1m1 genotype and cagA EPIYA-ABC pattern are predominant among Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from Mexican patients with chronic gastritis
(Medical Microbiology, 2017-11-30)
Purpose. Virulent genotypes of Helicobacter pylori vacA s1m1/cagA+/babA2+ have been associated with severe gastric diseases. VacA, CagA and BabA are polymorphic proteins, and their association with the disease is ...
Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Klebsiella spp. Isolates causing community-acquired infections
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
Klebsiella spp. isolates from community-acquired infections were characterized. A total of 39 Klebsiella spp. isolates were obtained from outpatients at four rural hospitals in Mexico (2013-2014). The biochemical tests ...
Aged garlic extract and S-allylcysteine increase the GLUT3 and GCLC expression levels in cerebral ischemia.
(Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2019-06-27)
During cerebral ischemia, energy restoration through the regulation of glucose transporters and antioxidant defense mechanisms is essential to maintain cell viability. Antioxidant therapy has been considered effective to ...
Transregulation of microRNA miR-21 promoter by AP-1 transcription factor in cervical cancer cells.
(Cancer Cell International, 2019-01)
Gene expression profiles have demonstrated that miR-21 expression is altered in almost all types of cancers and it has been classified as an oncogenic microRNA. Persistent HPV infection is the main etiologic agent in ...
La leptina promueve la expresión de Hic-5 y la formación de puntos de actina por la vía dependiente de FAK-Src en células epiteliales mamarias MCF10A.
(Biomédica, 2019-01-01)
Leptin is a hormone secreted by adipocytes that has been associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Additionally, leptin promotes the migration and invasion of mammary epithelial cells through the activation ...
New insights into radioresistance in breast cancer identify a dual function of miR-122 as a tumor suppressor and oncomiR.
(FebsPress, 2019-04-18)
Radioresistance of tumor cells gives rise to local recurrence and disease progression in many patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are master regulators of gene expression that control oncogenic pathways to modulate the radiotherapy ...
Relationship of Excess Weight with Clinical Activity and Dietary Intake Deficiencies in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients.
(2019-11-06)
Obesity and nutrients intake deficiencies may contribute to the clinical manifestations and inflammatory processes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between nutritional ...
