The normal development of cranial primordia and orofacial structures involves fundamental processes in which growth, morphogenesis, and cell differentiation take place and interactions between extracellular matrix (ECM) components, growth factors and embryonic tissues are involved. Biochemical and molecular aspects of craniofacial development, such as the biological regulation of normal or premature cranial suture fusion, has just begun to be understood, thanks mainly to studies performed in the last decade. Several mutations has been identified in both syndromic and non-syndromic craniosynostosis patients throwing new light onto the etiology, classification and developmental pathology of these diseases. In the more common craniosynostosis syndromes and other skeletal growth disorders, the mutations were identified in the genes encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor types 1-3 (FGFR1, 2 and 3) where they are dominantly acting and affect specific and important protein binding domain. The unregulated FGF signaling during intramembranous ossification is associated to the Apert and Crouzon syndrome. The non syndromic cleft of the lip and/or palate (CLP) has a more complex genetic background if compared to craniosynostosis syndrome because of the number of involved genes and type of inheritance. Moreover, the influence of environmental factor makes difficult to clarify the primary causes of this malformation. ECM represents cell environment and results mainly composed by collagens, fibronectin, proteoglycans (PG) and hyaluronate (HA). Cooperative effects of ECM and growth factors regulate regional matrix production during the morphogenetic events, connective tissue remodelling and pathological states. In the present review we summarize the studies we performed in the last years to better clarify the role of ECM and growth factors in the etiology and pathogenesis of craniosynostosis and CLP diseases. 相似文献

Background
Through the use of DNA microarrays it is now possible to obtain quantitative measurements of the expression of thousands of genes from a biological sample. This technology yields a global view of gene expression that can be used in several ways. Functional insight into expression profiles is routinely obtained by using Gene Ontology terms associated to the cellular genes. In this paper, we deal with functional data mining from expression profiles, proposing a novel approach that studies the correlations between genes and their relations to Gene Ontology (GO). By using this "functional correlations comparison" we explore all possible pairs of genes identifying the affected biological processes by analyzing in a pair-wise manner gene expression patterns and linking correlated pairs with Gene Ontology terms. 相似文献5.

Oligonucleotide correlations between infector and host genomes hint at evolutionary relationships. 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
The frequencies of oligonucleotides of length 3-6 were studied in 211 sequences of human DNA (659 kilobases), 22 sequences of DNA of human viruses (120 kbs), in 181 sequences of E. coli (442 kbs), and in 42 sequences of phages of E. coli (137 kbs). The sequences were obtained from Genbank(R) 48. The observed frequencies (O) were compared to the expected frequencies (E) obtained in two ways: 1) according to nucleotide composition for each series, and 2) according to first order Markow chains for triplets, second order for quadruplets, and third order for quintuplets and sextuplets. The ratio O/E was obtained for each oligonucleotide. Then, the correlation between the ratio O/E in a pair of series was calculated. Strong correlations were observed for sequences of man and human viruses, and for E. coli and its phages. Other correlations were small. For higher order Markov chains, there is indication of some correlation also between viruses and phages. It was concluded that through analysis of parallel oligonucleotide series it may be possible to infer some of the complex evolutionary relationships existing between cells and their infectors beyond the level of codon usage. 相似文献

Linking clones contain sequences flanking recognition sites for enzymes cutting rarely in mammalian DNA. They can be used to obtain and correlate both physical and genetic mapping information over subregions of mammalian chromosomes. We have constructed and used a NotI linking clone library representing unmethylated NotI sites from HHW693 DNA, a hamster hybrid cell line containing 4p15-4pter and a fragment of 5p as its only human chromosome contribution. Human clones were identified by hybridisation with a cloned human repeat sequence, and localised further to subregions of human chromosome 4p15-4pter using a panel of additional hybrids. Clones from the region distal to the DNA probes (D4S10, D4S43, D4S95) linked to the Huntington's disease mutation, were further analysed. Four markers close to the HD gene: D4S111, D4S113, D4S114 and clone 417 are described here. In addition to serving as markers in physical and genetic mapping experiments, these linking clones provide probes next to cleavable NotI sites, and can therefore be used to screen NotI based chromosome jumping libraries. They also provide indications for potential gene sequences, identifiable as evolutionarily conserved sequences. 相似文献

EGFR and MET receptor tyrosine kinase-altered microRNA expression induces tumorigenesis and gefitinib resistance in lung cancers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The involvement of the MET oncogene in de novo and acquired resistance of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has previously been reported, but the precise mechanism by which MET overexpression contributes to TKI-resistant NSCLC remains unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively regulate gene expression, and their dysregulation has been implicated in tumorigenesis. To understand their role in TKI-resistant NSCLCs, we examined changes in miRNA that are mediated by tyrosine kinase receptors. Here we report that miR-30b, miR-30c, miR-221 and miR-222 are modulated by both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and MET receptors, whereas miR-103 and miR-203 are controlled only by MET. We showed that these miRNAs have important roles in gefitinib-induced apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting the expression of the genes encoding BCL2-like 11 (BIM), apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1 (APAF-1), protein kinase C ? (PKC-?) and sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (SRC). These findings suggest that modulation of specific miRNAs may provide a therapeutic approach for the treatment of NSCLCs. 相似文献
