Pathological detection of myocardial damage was performed, and the heart tissue protein was extracted. Western Blot was employed to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, casepase-1 and other antibodies in myocardial tissue. Esmolol can significantly improve the cardiac function of rats with septic cardiomyopathy. The experimental results suggested that its therapeutic effect is through regulating the balances between the level of Treg cells and the level of anti-inflammatory factors, as well as the expression level of NLRP3 inflammasomerelated protein and its pro-inflammatory factors.","PeriodicalId":54956,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46444243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recombinant plasmids were constructed and introduced into Escherichia coli. Lactosidase (IPTG) induces the expression of the target gene. The EDA protein expression content was determined by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent method. On the prokaryotic expression vector, the c.878T>G mutant and wild-type EDA protein expression increased with the increase of induction time, and the mutant protein expression was lower than the wild-type protein expression at the same point (P<0.05). In conclusion, the c.878T>G gene mutation in this family caused one amino acid of the EDA protein to become another amino acid, and the c.878T>G mutation site can lead to a significant decrease in the expression of EDA protein on the prokaryotic expression vector, is highly pathogenic and may be the cause of the HED family.","PeriodicalId":54956,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41993768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, HLA-A, -B and -DR alleles specific frequencies are important to distingush the genetic structure between related enthic groups and is helpful in hematopoietic stem cell, organ transplantation and disease association. The data on HLA-A, B and DRBI* loci at a high-resolution level is limited in Punjab Population, Pakistan, therefore, the present research was designed to explore the genetic profile of patients collected from Punjab, Pakistan using HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRBI* genotypes with sequence specific primers. The allelic frequencies, haplotype distribution and genetic distances were investigated to map a genetic relationship. The most common alleles and haplotypes originating in Punjabi population were HLA-02, HLA-B*40, HLA-DRB1*15, A*2602-B*08-DRB*03, and A*02-B*51-DRB1*13. The bootstrap stats was applied with the phylogenetic analysis suggesting a strong evolutionary relationship with 80 percent validation. This shows that Punjabis have heredity with Sindhis as their personal predecessor. Altogether, these findings would be helpful in the selection of transplantation procedure, planning donor registry and for anthropologic studies.","PeriodicalId":54956,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Human Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48340722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work studied the role of miR-155 and ING4 in changes in proliferation, and apoptosis in epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cervical cancer cells. RNA levels of miR-155 and ING4 were assessed with RT-qPCR. MiR-155 inhibition and ING4 overexpression were achieved through transfection methods, whose expressions were evaluated by RT-qPCR. CCK-8 and flow cytometry measured cell viabilities and apoptosis, respectively. RT-qPCR was also implemented for examining expressions of E-cadherin, Snail and N-cadherin. MiR-155 was highly expressed in cervical cancer cells while its suppression retarded cell viabilities and EMT but enhanced the apoptosis. In contrast, ING4 expressions were significantly decreased in cervical cancer cells. Overexpression of ING4 blocked cell viabilities and EMT but promoted apoptosis. Moreover, overexpressed ING4 sharply inhibited cell viabilities and EMT and enhanced apoptosis. MiR-155 might accelerate proliferation, EMT and suppress apoptosis in cervical cancer cells in vitro while ING4 played an antipodal role.
