Evaluation of Lef1 Transcription Factor in Mammalian Preimplantation Embryos
(2007-09-14)
The first lineage differentiation of cells during pre-implantation embryo development is critical for continued embryonic growth. Though several transcription factors (TFs) have been identified that are involved in this ...
Characterization of Glucocorticoid-Induced Changes in Gene Expression in the Embryonic Pituitary Gland
(2006-04-27)
We have previously shown that corticosterone (CORT) can induce premature differentiation of somatotrophs in the chicken embryo. CORT induction of GH mRNA is indirect, in that protein synthesis inhibition blocks its inducing ...
Regulation of milk fat synthesis by dietary fatty acids
(2008-08-04)
The objectives of this thesis research were to determine the molecular mechanisms by which dietary fatty acids (FA) regulate lipogenic gene expression and milk fat synthesis. Principal component and multivariate analyses ...
Quantitative Trait Loci and Promoter Analysis of the Bovine Butyrophilin Gene
(2004-01-27)
The butyrophilin gene (BTN1A1) has been described in all mammalian species so far investigated. BTN1A1 is a likely QTL candidate that affects an economically important trait in dairy animals because it is specifically ...
Identification and characterization of a heme responsive element in the hrg-1 promoter
(2008)
Despite its biological significance, little is known about how animals sense and respond to heme to maintain homeostasis. C. elegans is a heme auxotroph, which makes it an excellent model to identify and dissect heme ...
THE FUNCTIONAL REGULATION OF FCRN EXPRESSION AND FCRN-MEDIATED ANTIGEN PRESENTATION
(2009)
The neonatal Fc receptor for IgG (FcRn), a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule, plays an important role in IgG transport and protection. The transport of IgG across epithelial and endothelial ...
DELINEATING THE ROLES OF C. ELEGANS HEME RESPONSIVE GENES HRG-2 AND HRG-3 IN HEME HOMEOSTASIS
(2009)
Heme is an essential cofactor for diverse biological processes such as oxygen transport, xenobiotic detoxification, and circadian clock control. Since free heme is hydrophobic and cytotoxic, we hypothesize that within ...
Regulation of factors contributing to virulence in Escherichia coli
(2008-04-25)
Extraintestinal pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli cause a wide range of diseases including colibacillosis in chickens and urinary tract infections in humans. Persistent infections in E. coli and other gram-negative ...
Adaptation of A/Mallard/Potsdam/178-4/83 (H2N2) in Japanese quail leads to Replication and Transmission in Chickens
(2005-05-02)
Influenza is a single stranded, negative-sense RNA virus with a segmented genome that can infect avian and mammalian species. Influenza viruses from the avian reservoir do not seem to replicate efficiently in humans upon ...
