To investigate the correlation among pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines and the two main gut microbiota phyla in obese children. Materials and methods. Anthropometric data were obtained from 890 children under 14 years ...
Influence of serum leptin levels and Q223R leptin receptor polymorphism on clinical characteristic of patients with rheumatoid arthritis from Western Mexico.
(eJIFCC, 2018-11)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible association between the Q223R Leptin receptor (LEPR) polymorphism (A>G; rs1137101) and leptin levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from Western Mexico.
Overexpression of dihydrofolate reductase is a factor of poor survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
(ONCOLOGY LETTERS, 2017-08-23)
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) has an important function in DNA synthesis and is a target of methotrexate, which is a crucial treatment option for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the number of studies conducted ...
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 ...
