IL20RA Is the Key Factor Contributing to the Stronger Antioxidant Capacity of Rongchang Pig Sertoli Cells.

Variations in disease resistance among pig breeds have been extensively documented, with Sertoli cells (SCs) playing a pivotal role in spermatogenesis. Infections can induce oxidative stress, which can lead to damage to these cells. This study aimed to compare the levels of oxidative stress in SCs from Rongchang and Landrace pig breeds following LPS challenge.

Expression of p27(kip1), Rb protein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen and its relationship with clinicopathology in human pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of inhibiting factor of cell cycle regulation p27(kip1), retinoblastinoma protein (Rb protein), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) on the genesis and progression of human pancreatic cancer.

Methods: The expression of p27(kip1), Rb protein and PCNA in the tumor tissue and adjacent tissue of 32 patients with pancreatic cancer was detected by SP immunohistochemical technique.

Results: The p27(kip1) protein positive-expression rate in the tumor tissue of pancreatic cancer was 56.
