Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a cell-free supernatant from (CFSM) on performance and diarrhearelated parameters and the presence of F4+ enterotoxigenic (ETEC) in piglets during post-weaning, and to evaluate the effect of the CFSM on gene expression in an F4+.

Animals And Procedure: In 3 trials with 90 piglets per trial, pigs were assigned to receive a placebo or 1 of 2 CFSM treatments and observed for diarrhea and performance. Fecal swabs were taken to determine the presence of ETEC. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to assess gene expression in 21259 after treatment with CFSM at 50 mg/mL.

Results: The CFSM administered for 14 d at a dose of 24 mg/kg BW (2X) reduced diarrhea-related parameters compared to the placebo. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that, in 21259 treated with CFSM at 50 mg/mL, expression of the gene was significantly repressed ( < 0.0001) relative to that in the untreated control.

Conclusion: The evaluated CFSM reduced the frequency and prevalence of diarrhea in a field situation. The treatment had an inhibitory effect on the expression of the gene in F4+ 21259.

The wall-associated kinase (WAK) gene family encodes functional cell wall-related proteins. These genes are widely presented in plants and serve as the receptors of plant cell membranes, which perceive the external environment changes and activate signaling pathways to participate in plant growth, development, defense, and stress response. However, the WAK gene family and the encoded proteins in soybean (Glycine max (L.

The methylation- demethylation dynamics of RNA plays major roles in different biological functions, including stress responses, in plants. mA methylation in RNA is orchestrated by a coordinated function of methyl transferases (writers) and demethylases (Erasers). Genome-wide analysis of genes involved in methylation and demethylation was performed in pigeon pea.

Background/objectives: Patients with ovarian cancer commonly experience metastases and recurrences, which contribute to high mortality. Our objective was to better understand ovarian cancer metastasis and identify candidate biomarkers and drug targets for predicting and preventing ovarian cancer recurrence.

Methods: Transcripts of 770 cancer-associated genes were compared in cells collected from ascitic fluid versus resected tumors of an ES-2 orthotopic ovarian cancer mouse model.

() is associated with the development of various stomach diseases, one of the major risk factors for stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). The infection score between tumor and normal groups was compared by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The key modules related to infection were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and functional enrichment analysis was conducted on these module genes.
