Proteome profiling of bovine follicular fluid-specific proteins and their effect on in vitro embryo development.

J Vet Med Sci

May 2017

Semen Laboratory, Department of Clinical Sciences and Public Health, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom 73170, Thailand.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of bovine follicular fluid proteins (bFF) and their differently charged groups as maturation media supplements for in vitro embryo development. bFF was obtained by aspiration from large healthy follicles (4-10 mm in diameter) and was precipitated by 30-50% (NH)SO. The precipitated protein was fractionated into basic and acidic fractions by ion-exchanger columns.

MicroRNA-142 is mutated in about 20% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Cancer Med

October 2012

Institute of Virology, Saarland University Medical School 66421, Homburg, Germany; Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University 40002, Khon Kaen, Thailand.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short 18-23 nucleotide long noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression by binding to mRNA. Our previous miRNA profiling of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) revealed a mutation in the seed sequence of miR-142-3p. Further analysis now showed that miR-142 was mutated in 11 (19.
