Cavin-3 knockout mice show that cavin-3 is not essential for caveolae formation, for maintenance of body composition, or for glucose tolerance. by Libin Liu, Carsten G Hansen, Brian J Honeyman, Benjamin J Nichols, Paul F Pilch

“…We find that loss of cavin-3 has minimal or no effects on the levels of other caveolar proteins, does not appear to play a major role in formation of protein complexes important for caveolar morphogenesis, and has no significant effect on caveolae abundance. …”

Identification of Stk25 as a genetic modifier of Tau phosphorylation in Dab1-mutant mice. by Tohru Matsuki, Mariam Zaka, Rita Guerreiro, Marcel P van der Brug, Jonathan A Cooper, Mark R Cookson, John A Hardy, Brian W Howell

“…Genomic regions that regulate the phospho Tau phenotype in dab1 mutants have previously been identified. Using a microarray gene expression comparison between dab1-mutants from the high-phospho Tau expressing and low-phospho Tau expressing strains, we identified Stk25 as a differentially expressed modifier of dab1-mutant phenotypes. …”

Advances in Research on Isothermal Signal Amplification Mediated MicroRNA Detection of Clinical Samples: Application to Disease Diagnosis by Yu Han, Xin Sun, Sheng Cai

“…However, the intrinsic characteristics of miRNAs, including their low abundance, short sequence lengths, and high family-specific sequence homology, render traditional detection methods such as Northern blot hybridization, microarray use, and reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) inadequate for meeting the stringent requirements of clinical detection in biological samples, a task requiring accuracy, rapidity, high detection power, specificity, and cost-effectiveness. …”

Dissociation of mitochondrial and ribosomal biogenesis during thallium administration in rat kidney. by Sho Sugahara, Kana Unuma, Shuheng Wen, Takeshi Funakoshi, Toshihiko Aki, Koichi Uemura

“…To obtain insight into Tl toxicity in the kidney, rats were intraperitoneally administered Tl2SO4 (30 mg/kg), and the kidneys were removed 2 or 5 days later to examine the effects of Tl. Transcriptome analysis using DNA microarray of the rat kidney 2 and 5 days after Tl administration showed that cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins are the most upregulated category; many of the genes involved in ribosome biosynthesis were upregulated by Tl administration. …”

Naloxonazine, an Amastigote-Specific Compound, Affects Leishmania Parasites through Modulation of Host-Encoded Functions. by Géraldine De Muylder, Benoit Vanhollebeke, Guy Caljon, Alan R Wolfe, James McKerrow, Jean-Claude Dujardin

“…We evaluated here whether this compound could present a host cell-dependent mechanism of action. Microarray profiling of THP-1 macrophages treated with naloxonazine showed upregulation of vATPases, which was further linked to an increased volume of intracellular acidic vacuoles. …”

Estimation of relevant variables on high-dimensional biological patterns using iterated weighted kernel functions. by Sergio Rojas-Galeano, Emily Hsieh, Dan Agranoff, Sanjeev Krishna, Delmiro Fernandez-Reyes

“…The resulting variable subsets achieved classification accuracies of 99% on Human African Trypanosomiasis, 91% on Tuberculosis, and 91% on Malaria serum proteomic profiles with fewer than 20% of variables selected. Our method scaled-up to dimensionalities of much higher orders of magnitude as shown with gene expression microarray datasets in which we obtained classification accuracies close to 90% with fewer than 1% of the total number of variables.…”
