The apoptotic and genomic studies on A549 cell line induced by silver nitrate by Ayse Kaplan, Gulsen Akalin Ciftci, Hatice Mehtap Kutlu

“…The influences of silver nitrate were studied via MTT assay, flow cytometry, immunocytochemical, confocal and transmission electron microscopy, and microarray assays. Silver nitrate showed inhibitory effects against A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner for 24, 48, and 72 h and induced apoptosis. …”

Differential and directional estrogenic signaling pathways induced by enterolignans and their precursors. by Yun Zhu, Kayoko Kawaguchi, Ryoiti Kiyama

“…All the enterolignans/precursors examined showed activation of the Erk1/2 and PI3K/Akt pathways, indicating the involvement of rapid signaling through the non-genomic estrogen signaling pathway. However, when their effects on specific cell functions, cell cycle progression and chemokine (MCP-1) secretion were examined, positive effects were observed only for enterolactone, suggesting that signals are given in certain directions at a position closer to cell functions. …”

Comparative linkage meta-analysis reveals regionally-distinct, disparate genetic architectures: application to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. by Brady Tang, Tricia Thornton-Wells, Kathleen D Askland

“…Since it is likely a majority of common variants of modest effect have been identified through the application of tagSNP-based microarray platforms (i.e., GWAS), alternative approaches robust to detection of low-frequency (1-5% MAF) and rare (<1%) variants are of great importance. …”

Genes that act downstream of sensory neurons to influence longevity, dauer formation, and pathogen responses in Caenorhabditis elegans. by Marta M Gaglia, Dae-Eun Jeong, Eun-A Ryu, Dongyeop Lee, Cynthia Kenyon, Seung-Jae Lee

“…However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. Using whole-genome microarray analysis, we identified transcripts whose levels are altered by mutations in the intraflagellar transport protein daf-10, which result in impaired development and function of many sensory neurons in C. elegans. …”
