Immunomodulatory and antibacterial effects of cystatin 9 against Francisella tularensis
(2013)
Cystatin 9 (CST9) is a member of the type 2 cysteine protease inhibitor family, which has been shown to have immunomodulatory effects that restrain inflammation, but its functions against bacterial infections are unknown. ...
Genome-wide endogenous DAF-16/FOXO recruitment dynamics during lowered insulin signalling in C. elegans
(Impact Journals LLC, 2015)
Lowering insulin-IGF-1-like signalling (IIS) activates FOXO transcription factors (TF) to extend life span across species. To study the dynamics of FOXO chromatin occupancy under this condition in C. elegans, we report the ...
miR-30c and miR-181a synergistically modulate p53?p21 pathway in diabetes induced cardiac hypertrophy
(Springer New York LLC, 2016)
p53?p21 pathway mediates cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis and is upregulated in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM). We investigated role of microRNAs in regulating p53?p21 pathway in high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocyte ...
Regulation of GAD65 expression by SMAR1 and p53 upon Streptozotocin treatment
(2012)
Background: GAD65 (Glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 KDa isoform) is one of the most important auto-antigens involved in Type 1 diabetes induction. Although it serves as one of the first injury markers of ?-islets, the ...
Shared and unique common genetic determinants between pediatric and adult celiac disease
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)
Background: Based on age of presentation, celiac disease (CD) is categorised as pediatric CD and adult CD. It however remains unclear if these are genetically and/or phenotypically distinct disorders or just different ...
Variants in KCNQ1 increase type II diabetes susceptibility in South Asians: A study of 3,310 subjects from India and the US
(2011)
Background: Polymorphisms in intron 15 of potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily member 1 (KCNQ1) gene have been associated with type II diabetes (T2D) in Japanese genome-wide association studies (GWAS). More ...
