  4. 2. Genetic diversity of the heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) toxins of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC): New insights into polymorphism, regulation, and gene transcription

    Author : Enrique Joffre; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ETEC; diversity; bacterial enterotoxins; polymorphism; gene regulation; gene transcription; Diarrhoeal disease; bacterial infection;

    Abstract : Infection with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a leading cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries and travelers to endemic regions. ETEC is a diverse pathogen, with a wide range of virulence factors including enterotoxins and more than 25 identified colonization factors (CFs). READ MORE

  5. 3. Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Transcription in Hematopoietic Tumors

    Author : Marina Tshuikina Wiklander; Fredrik Öberg; Kenneth Nilsson; Ugo Testa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; IRF family; ICSBP IRF8; epigenetics; ATRA; TNFα; histone modifications; methylation; transcription; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD;

    Abstract : Epigenetic modifications were shown to play an essential role in tumorigenesis. Epigenetic mechanisms can alter transcription in several ways, through DNA methylation and/or through histone modification. DNA methylation at the TSS (transcriptional start site) has been implicated in tumor development and gene silencing. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulation of gene transcription by the thyroid hormone receptors

    Author : Maria Nygård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Thyroid hormone receptors; T3; cell differentiation; gene regulation; E2F-1; Necdin; TRH; nTRE; RXR; NCoR; XAP-2;

    Abstract : Thyroid hormone (TH) has important effects on postnatal development as well as on adult metabolic homeostasis. TH meditates its effects through different isoforms of the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) encoded by the TRalpha and TRbeta genes, respectively. TRs belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. READ MORE

  7. 5. Epigenetic Regulation of Higher Order Chromatin Conformations and Gene Transcription

    Author : Anita Göndör; Reinald Fundele; Thomas Graf; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Genomic imprinting; Chromatin; Epigenetics; Cancer; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Epigenetic states constitute heritable features of the chromatin to regulate when, where and how genes are expressed in the developing conceptus. A special case of epigenetic regulation, genomic imprinting, is defined as parent of origin-dependent monoallelic expression. READ MORE
