Effects of cAMP and CFTR modulation on apical fluid pH in human airway Calu‐3 cells
Abstract The airway epithelium serves as the first line of defense against inhaled insults present in the external environment by acting as a physical barrier and through host defense mechanisms. Proper maintenance of these host defense mechanisms relies on the regulation of airway surface liquid (ASL) composition and properties, a process that is ...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

Two novel SLC26A4 mutations in Iranian families with autosomal recessive hearing loss [PDF]
Objective: Due to the fact that SLC26A4 has been suggested as the second cause of hearing loss (HL) in Iran as well as many other countries, obtaining more comprehensive information about SLC26A4 mutations can facilitate more efficient genetic services ...

Genetic Screening of and in Korean Cochlear Implantees: Experience of Soree Ear Clinic [PDF]
ObjectivesGenetic hearing loss is highly heterogeneous and more than 100 genes are predicted to cause this disorder in humans. In spite of this large genetic heterogeneity, mutations in SLC26A4 and GJB2 genes are primarily responsible for the major ...

Síndrome de Pendred causada por mutação em homozigoze no gene SLC26A4 em uma família brasileira consangüínea [PDF]
Pendred Syndrome (PS) is an autossomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness, goiter and iodide organification defect. The hearing loss is associated with inner ear abnormalities, ranging from an isolated enlarged vestibular aqueduct

Functional assessment of allelic variants in the SLC26A4 gene involved in Pendred syndrome and nonsyndromic EVA [PDF]
Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, with malformations of the inner ear, ranging from enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) to Mondini malformation, and deficient iodide organification in the thyroid gland.

A Novel Intronic Variant Causes Aberrant Splicing of PCDH15 in a Family With Usher Syndrome Type 1F
Minigene splicing assays elucidated the pathogenicity of a novel intronic c.3717+5G>A mutation in the PCDH15 gene, which was identified in a family affected by Usher syndrome type 1F. The results demonstrated that the c.3717+5G>A mutation can lead to exon 27 skipping and retention of 51 bp at the 5′ end of intron 27, resulting in truncated or abnormal ...
