B2 SINE retrotransposon causes polymorphic expression of mouse 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 gene
Publikováno v:
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications. 377:515-520
5-Aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) is the key enzyme in the homeostasis of nonerythroid heme and of fundamental importance in respiration, the metabolism of drugs, chemicals and steroids and cell signalling. The regulation of ALAS1 in response

We have previously used genome-wide transcript profiling to investigate the relationships between changes in gene expression and physiological alterations during the response of the immature mouse uterus to estrogens. Here we describe the identificat

Polymorphisms of genes linked to iron metabolism may account for individual variability in hemochromatosis and iron status connected with liver and cardiovascular diseases, cancers, toxicity, and infection. Mouse strains exhibit marked differences in

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), cause inhibition of the heme biosynthesis enzyme, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase; this leads to uroporphyria and hepatic tumors, which are markedly enhanced by iron overload

BALB/c Fech(m1Pas) mice have a mutated ferrochelatase gene resulting in protoporphyria that models the hepatic injury occurring sporadically in human erythropoietic protoporphyria. We used this mouse model to study the development of the injury and t

The anti-oestrogenic drug tamoxifen has been under investigation as a breast cancer chemopreventive agent for at least a decade. However, its use for this purpose is still debatable since it is able to induce liver tumours in rats via a mechanism inv

It is now generally accepted that activation of tamoxifen occurs as a result of metabolism to alpha-hydroxytamoxifen. In this study, alpha-hydroxytamoxifen was given to female Wistar/Han rats (0.103 or 0.0103 mmol/kg, intraperitoneally, daily for 5 d

The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is a major cause of cancer treatment failure. Here the expressions of 4224 genes were analysed for association with intrinsic or acquired doxorubicin (DOX) resistance. A cluster of overexpressed genes related

The MCF-7 doxorubicin-resistant cell line MCF-7/Dox has been used extensively for studies of the multidrug resistance phenomenon. Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), these cells were separated into two populations on the basis of rhodam

The potent kinase inhibitor staurosporine and its protein kinase C (PKC)-selective analogue CGP 41251 are known to sensitise cells with the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) to cytotoxic agents. Here four PKC-sele
