In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine some apoptotic markers, such as BCL-2, caspase-9, COX-2, and <i>c-Myc</i>. The qRT-PCR presented that both coumarin compounds could significantly alter the expression levels of BCL-2, caspase-9, COX-2, and <i>c-Myc</i>. Consistent with these results, histopathological observations showed a significant reduction in pathological lesions and severity of malignancy of the tumor mass, as well as a decrease in microscopic metastases in the lung and liver.

Epigenetic changes following prolonged cyclic heat stress, creating new opportunities for molecular biology research. One of these changes involves monoamines, such as serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and their transmission. Broiler chickens are highly susceptible to heat stress, and their hearts become insufficient during the growth phase, leading to hypertrophy of the left heart. RNA-seq data were obtained from NCBI with accession number SRP082125. The expression level of genes was determined with DESeq2 packages. Gene Ontology qualification, including biological processes, cellular components, and molecular role (MF), was performed from the Gene Ontology Resource. Cyclic heat stress in broilers significantly altered monoamine receptor expression. Twenty-nine genes of the monoamine pathway changed their expression in the left heart. Significant downregulation of expression was statistically associated with the <i>ADRB1</i>, <i>HTR2A</i>, and <i>PNMT</i> genes and upregulation of the <i>MAOA</i> gene (P<0.01). STRING database was used to construct the protein-protein interaction network; based on network analysis, the <i>HTR2C</i>, <i>HTR2A</i>, and <i>HTR5A</i> genes were identified as the major nodal genes in the network followed by <i>MAOA</i>, <i>DRD2</i>, <i>DRD5</i>, <i>HTR1B</i>, <i>DRD1</i>, <i>DRD3</i>, and <i>HTR2B</i> genes occupying the second important place in the network module. In conclusion, heat stress treatment prevented cardiac hypertrophy and altered the expression of monoamine genes. This would imply that monoamine transmission plays an important role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, and that cyclic-chronic heat treatment modulates the cardiac monoaminergic system. These molecular biomarkers could be useful for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.</p>","PeriodicalId":8311,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Razi Institute","volume":"78 5","pages":"1594-1602"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10998952/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140874480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple sequence alignments were performed by ClustalW, Bioedit software. Molegro Data Modeller (MDM) 3.0 software was used to predict the putative tertiary structure of proteins.EC<sub>1.5 (a)</sub>, a single-band protein with a molecular mass of 66 and 55 kDa, was observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a reduced and non-reduced state, respectively. Based on the Mascot results, we considered that EC<sub>1.5 (a)</sub> is a metalloproteinase of group ΙΙ which exhibited potent pro-coagulant activity. It is predicted that the EC<sub>1.5 (a)</sub> with hemorrhagic activity, potentially is a metalloproteinase/disintegrin region that constitutes the disintegrin-like domains. Our findings demonstrate that the disintegrin domain of EC<sub>1.5 (a)</sub> lacks platelet aggregation inhibitory activity. On the contrary, this factor shows the property of a platelet aggregation inducer. Also, the EC<sub>5.1 (b)</sub> was observed as a single-band protein with a molecular mass of 7.5 kDa. EC<sub>5.1 (b)</sub> showed both anti-coagulant and anti-platelet properties. Additionally, the structure of the EC<sub>5.1 (b)</sub> fraction is expected to be similar to that of phospholipase A<sub>2</sub>, while EC<sub>4 (a)</sub> structure is potentially very similar to that of Echistatin with 5 kDa molecular mass. We introduce the predicted structure of P-II snake venom metalloproteinase/ disintegrin domains, phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> and Echistatin-like fractions.
