Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen in immunocompromised individuals. With the emergence of clinical fungal resistance, there is an urgent demand to develop novel antifungal agents. The antibacterial peptide (AMP) is an important component in the innate immune system and has a ...
The goal of this analysis is to define the anaerobic regulon for the global transcription factor CRP (catabolite repressor protein) in the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The objectives were met by comparing the mRNA profile of a wild type strain, JP2, to that of an isoge...
To investigate the effect of CodY mutation on the gene expression in Streptococcus suis serotype 2 SC19 strain, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes regulated by CodY mutation. DNA microarray analysis was performed using an Agilent c...
To examine the genome-wide gene regulation due to the common seed sequence of the members of miR-302/3272/3273/520 family miRNAs and dsEcad640, we performed microarray profiling of gene expression by the transfection of chemically synthesized dsEcad640, miR-302a,miR-372, miR-373, miR-520c,and miR-52...
Studies of human fetal lung in explant culture and in isolated epithelial cells have demonstrated that both glucocorticoids and cyclic AMP promote differentiated alveolar type II cell phenotype as assessed by ultrastructural morphology and surfactant production. This project profiles changes in gen...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as novel cancer genes. In particular, the 17~92 cluster of miRNAs is highly expressed in haematopoietic cancers and promotes lymphomagenesis in vivo1,2. Clinical use of these findings hinges on isolating the oncogenic activity within the 17~92 cluster and defining its...
