Increased TLR4 Expression Aggravates Sepsis by Promoting IFN-γ Expression in CD38−/− Mice by Qi Li, Chenyi Wu, Zhenlong Liu, Huiqing Zhang, Yuna Du, Yuxiang Liu, Kuangyu Song, Qiaofa Shi, Rong Li

“…In addition, compared with CD38−/−TLR4mut mice, we found an increase of TLR4 expression and mRNA expression of these cytokines in the kidney of CD38−/− mice, although only increased IFN-γ level was detected in the serum. Taken together, these results demonstrated that an increased TLR4 expression in CD38−/− mice could contribute to the aggravation of AKI through boosting of the production of IFN-γ.…”

Discovery of mutated oncodriver genes associated with glioblastoma originated from stem cells of subventricular zone through whole exome sequence profile analysis, and drug repurpo... by Arnob Sarker, Burhan Uddin, Reaz Ahmmed, Sabkat Mahmud, Alvira Ajadee, Md. Al Amin Pappu, Md. Abdul Aziz, Md. Nurul Haque Mollah

“…In this study, we analyzed whole exome sequencing (WES) profiles of NCBI database on GBM and matched-normal (control) samples originated from astrocyte like neural stem cells (NSC) of subventricular zone (SVZ) to explore GBM-causing mutated oncodriver genes, since SVZ is considered as the origin of GBM development. We detected 16 mutated oncodriver genes. Then, filtering by differential co-expression analysis based on independent RNA-Seq profiles of CGGA database revealed 10 genes as dysregulated oncodriver genes. …”
