Bearing in mind the prevalent occurrence of sulfur deficiency in soils, it is highly essential to comprehend the molecular processes of plant response to the changing conditions of sulfur nutrition. As there is an increasing understanding of ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation system participation in nutrient deficiency response, we could predict its input to the sulfur metabolism as well. Therefore, we decided to investigate the consequences of proteasome malfunction in Arabidopsis in sulfur deficient conditions.

View SamplesHemagglutinin of the influenza virus is the main external glycoprotein. This very immunogenic protein is the target of the most anti-influenza vaccines. DNA vaccines are new alternative to conventional inactivated ones. Four DNA vaccines were tested. Each tested variant was based on the pCI vector with nucleotide sequence encoding hemagglutinin from A/swan/Poland/305-135V08/2006 (H5N1, clade 2.2). In K3/pCI, GK/pCI and HAneo/pCI the different optimization algorithms of hemagglutinin encoding sequence without amino acids change were tested. In 3NF/pCI the NFkappaB binding sites flanking the expression cassette were included in order to improve the nuclear transfer. Comparative transcriptome analysis of mice vaccinated the following vaccine HAneo/pCI,K3/pCI, GK/pCI or 3NF/pCI versus empty vector demonstrated minor changes in genes expression pattern. Most genes were expressed on the similar level in the vaccinated individuals and in the control mice. Small number of genes in particular variants showed the expression different than in the control mice. In general, the identified genes with the changed expression included some genes involved in metabolic processes and none of them seem to induce any undesirable pathways nor disease.

View SamplesBroilers were immunized with three variants of subunit vaccines, based on the hemagglutinin (HA) DNA and Pichia-produced HA protein from H5N1 virus, in comparison to the control group, which was administered an empty vector (pCI). Gene expression changes in the spleens of chickens were investigated at 7 day post booster dose.

View SamplesLaying hens Rosa 1 were immunized with two doses of DNA vaccine, based on the hemagglutinin (HA) DNA from H5N1 virus, in comparison to the control group, which was administered an empty vector (pCI). Additional groups of Rosa 1 hens were treated with one dose of above described vaccine or empty vector. Gene expression changes in the spleens of chickens were investigated at 7 day post last vaccination dose.

View SamplesAstrocytes react to brain injury in a heterogeneous manner with only a subset resuming proliferation and acquiring in vitro neural stem cell properties. In order to identify novel regulators of this astrocyte subset, we performed a genome-wide expression analysis of reactive astrocytes isolated 5 days after stab wound injury from the adult mouse cerebral cortex. The expression pattern was compared with astrocytes from normal cortex and adult neural stem cells isolated from the sub-ependymal zone (GSE18765). These comparisons revealed a set of genes up-regulated both in neurogenic neural stem cells and reactive astrocytes, including the lectins Galectin-1 and -3. These results, as well as the pattern of Galectin expression in the lesioned brain, led us to examine the functional significance of these lectins in brains of Galectin-1/3 double-knockout mice.

View SamplesObjective Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, and amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, are antihypertensive agents clinically used as monotherapy or in combination. They exert beneficial cardiovascular effects independently of blood pressure lowering and classic mechanisms of action. In this study, we investigate molecular mechanisms responsible for the off-target effects of telmisartan and telmisartan-amlodipine in endothelial cells (EC), using an unbiased approach.
Telmisartan exerts pleiotropic effects in endothelial cells and promotes endothelial cell quiescence and survival.
