  2. 1. Bactericidal/Permeability-Increasing Protein (BPI) and Proteinase 3: Studies at the Transcriptional Level

    Author : Katrien Pieters; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; azurophil granules; myelopoiesis; BPI; mouse ortholog; proteinase 3; transcriptional regulation; Wegener s Granulomatosis WG ; SNP; Medicine human and vertebrates ; extracellulära vätskor; Hematologi; extracellular fluids; Haematology; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Abstract : In myelopoiesis, neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages are formed from a common myeloid precursor cell in the bone marow. During maturation of neutrophils, cytoplasmic granules are formed in the cells and the content of these granules is critical for the function of neutrophils in the first line of defense against invading microorganisms.

  4. 2. Structure, evolution and expression of glandular kallikrein genes

    Author : Yvonne Ceder; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ileum.; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Tissue distribution; Androgen responsive element; Ortholog; Evolution; Prostate cancer; Glandular kallikreins; Prostate-specific antigen;

    Abstract : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a worldwide used tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. It is a serine protease and belongs to the family of glandular kallikreins. Humans have three classical glandular kallikreins, but it has been reported that rodents have many more. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cloning and characterization of neuropeptide Y receptors of the Y1 subfamily in mammals and fish

    Author : Paula Starbäck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; G-protein; neuropeptide Y; panacreatic polypeptide; neuropeptide Y receptor; ortholog; zebrafish; guinea pig; pseudogene; evolution; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; neurologi;

    Abstract : Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an abundant neurotransmitter in the nervous system and forms a family of evolutionarily related peptides together with peptide YY (PYY), pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and polypeptide Y (PY). These peptides are ligands to a family of receptors that mediate a wide range of physiological effects including stimulation of appetite. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular studies of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)

    Author : Shideh Khodaei-O'Brien; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : genetics; MEN1; cancer; tumor suppressor gene; cDNA selection; mutation; menin; ortholog; evolution; conservation; expression; RNA; protein; RT-PCR;

    Abstract : Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by tumors of the parathyroids, the endocrine pancreas and anterior pituitary. The MEN1 locus has been previously localized to chromosome 11q13 and subsequently a MEN1 minimum region was defined by a combination of linkage and tumor deletion studies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of a putative tumor suppressor region identified by the elimination test on human 3p21.3

    Author : Hajnalka Kiss; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Elimination test; common eliminated region 1 CER1 ; 3p21.3; tumor suppressor gene; large scale sequencing; LIMD1; LZTFL1; FYC01; TMEM7; LRRC2; LUZP3.;

    Abstract : An experimental system, called the elimination test (Et), was developed to identify tumor growth antagonizing genes. Chromosome 3 containing microcell hybrids (MCHs) were passaged through SCID mice and regular deletion of the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) were found by cytogenetic and molecular methods. READ MORE
