Cellular HIV type 1 DNA levels are equivalent among drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains in newly diagnosed and antiretroviral naive patients
(2014)
The emergence of resistance against current antiretroviral drugs to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is an increasingly important concern to the continuous success of antiretroviral therapy to HIV-1-infected ...
Attenuation of drug-stimulated topoisomerase II-DNA cleavable complex formation in wild-type HL-60 cells treated with an intracellular calcium buffer is correlated with decreased cytotoxicity and site-specific hypophosphorylation of topoisomerase IIα
(1998)
Topoisomerase II (topo II), an essential enzyme for cell viability, is also the target for clinically important anti-neoplastic agents that stimulate topo II-mediated DNA scission. The role of alterations in topo IIα ...
A quorum sensing regulated small volatile molecule reduces acute virulence and promotes chronic infection phenotypes
(2011)
A significant number of environmental microorganisms can cause serious, even fatal, acute and chronic infections in humans. The severity and outcome of each type of infection depends on the expression of specific bacterial ...
Epistatic Role of the MYH9/APOL1 Region on Familial Hematuria Genes
(2013)
Familial hematuria (FH) is explained by at least four different genes (see below). About 50% of patients develop late proteinuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesized that MYH9/APOL1, two closely linked genes ...
Evaluation of estrogenic activity of plant extracts for the potential treatment of menopausal symptoms
(2001)
Eight botanical preparations that are commonly used for the treatment of menopausal symptoms were tested for estrogenic activity. Methanol extracts of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus ...
Evidence for association of endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism with earlier progression to end-stage renal disease in a cohort of Hellens from Greece and Cyprus
(2004)
Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to be an important factor in the deterioration of renal function. A variable-number tandem 27-bp repeat in intron 4 of the endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene has been found to ...
PKD2, a gene for polycystic kidney disease that encodes an integral membrane protein
(1996)
A second gene for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was identified by positional cloning. Nonsense mutations in this gene (PKD2) segregated with the disease in three PKD2 families. The predicted 968-amino acid ...
A European spectrum of pharmacogenomic biomarkers: Implications for clinical pharmacogenomics
(2016)
Pharmacogenomics aims to correlate inter-individual differences of drug efficacy and/or toxicity with the underlying genetic composition, particularly in genes encoding for protein factors and enzymes involved in drug ...
RET proto-oncogene mutations are restricted to codon 618 in Cypriot families with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2
(2011)
Background: RET germline mutations predispose to the development of inherited cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). Several variants of the RET proto-oncogene including G691S and S904S have been ...
The Polycomb Group Protein SUZ12 regulates histone H3 lysine 9 methylation and HP1α distribution
(2007)
Regulation of histone methylation is critical for proper gene expression and chromosome function. Suppressor of Zeste 12 (SUZ12) is a requisite member of the EED/EZH2 histone methyltransferase complexes, and is required ...
