C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]

, 2014
An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...

Salivary Eosinophil Cationic Protein in Allergic Rhinitis

Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of atopic diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma. Using saliva as a diagnostic material is a non-invasive, simple method. Analysis of ECP in saliva was shown as an alternative diagnostic contribution in patients with asthma.

MicroRNA‐375‐3p Targets Fatty Acid Synthase and Relish to Regulate Energy Allocation During Pupal Metamorphosis and Starvation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
During pupal metamorphosis and starvation, elevated 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) and suppressed insulin trigger Forkhead box O (FOXO) nuclear translocation, enhancing miR‐375‐3p expression. This downregulates fatty acid synthase (FASN) and Relish, promoting lipid breakdown for energy while prioritizing antioxidant responses over immune functions to support

Insights into the molecular mechanism of Sjogren's syndrome [PDF]

, 2017
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease, that affects primarily salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to increased morbidity. Recent studies indicate that loss of salivary gland function is associated with defective cell polarity ...

Lectin microarray analysis of salivary gland glycoproteins from arboviral vector Aedes aegypti and malaria vector Anopheles stephensi

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: Salivary gland proteins but not glycoconjugates have been previously studied in mosquito vectors of human diseases. Glycoconjugates from salivary gland-derived proteins from human-feeding tick vectors can elicit hypersensitivity ...
