Suppressor

the drugs disulfide bridges, thus allowing the free sulfur groups (forming thiols) to interact with zinc ions in class I and II HDAC’s active sites. Romidepsin can have multiple target genes, however the most important one found is p21, a tumor-suppressor gene. Romidepsin acts to induce the expression of p21, which would have otherwise been de-acetylated and under-expressed. This induction of p21 leads to the inhibition of cyclin-depedent kinase (CDK) and the dephosphorylation of retinoblastoma…

Genetic Susceptibility Genetic susceptibility plays a role in many types of cancer and other diseases. Finding the genes involved in susceptibility to diseases can be important for risk management. It known as inherited risk of developing a disease. Having a genetic predisposition for a disease does not mean that people will get that disease, but the patient risk may be higher than that of the general population. For example, some people with a predisposing genetic variation will never get the…

degree of immune tolerance to the transplant does develop. Several concepts have been postulated to explain the development of partial tolerance. They include clonal deletion and the development of anergy in donor specific lymphocytes, development of suppressor lymphocytes, or factors that down-regulate the immune response against the graft. Other hypotheses include the persistence of donor-derived dendritic cells in the recipient that promote an immunologically mediated chimeric state between…

passed from generation to generation that were soon discovered to have a genetic basis. In 1970, scientist revealed two genes that were related to cancer known as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (American Cancer Society, 2016). Oncogenes are gene that cause out of control cell growth that become cancerous. Tumor suppressor genes, are genes that slow down the cellular division that leads to errors in DNA repair, which prevents the cells from inducing apoptosis (You & Jones, 2012). Yearly,…

Primary Source Analysis 3 1) As most Christian histories of the crusades begin with pope urban II’s call in 1095, for the recovery of holy places. But Ibn Al-Athir being native of Mosul see it differently, as all Muslim sees the Crusades. He mention the crusades as not being recovery of holy places of Christianity, rather, it was war against the Islam religion. He further stated in his writing saying that, “They invaded the territories of Islam”. In his writing he clearly indicated that it was…

Hypothalamic programming of systemic ageing involving IKK-b, NF-kB and GnRH (Zhang et al., 2013). Cellular senescence is when a cell’s replicative mechanism becomes arrested. This was phenomenon was first described in Hayflick’s experiment. Cellular senescence is usually due to protect the cell from becoming cancerous but it also plays a prominent role in aging (van Deursen, 2014). While senescence describes a halt in proliferation, cancer development is the uncontrolled proliferation of…

Briefly identify and discuss the specific tissue type associated with human blood. Blood is recognized as a form of connective tissue sine it contains a nonliving fluid matrix the plasma that living cells form substances are suspended. There are over one hundred different components (i.e. nutrients, hormones, gases, metabolites, waste, electrolytes, and proteins) that are dissolved/suspended in the plasma, which contains over nighty percent of water. However, the structure of plasma continually…

Pheochromocytoma is diagnosed due to high abnormally concentration of catecholamine’s or their products in urine and plasma. Diagnosis should also be based on clinical assessment Pheochromocytoma is diagnosed due to high abnormal concentration of catecholamine followed confirmation of excess catecholamine secretion. Genetic testing should be performed in all patients with pheochromocytoma because it is associated with other tumors. Those with positive family history or less than 50 years old.…

Did you know Crohn’s Disease is one of the fastest growing intestinal disease in the US? My paper is going to be about Crohn’s disease. I chose this because over the past years I have had the time to really learn on my own what is like to live with someone who has Crohn’s. I will be going over some of the symptoms, treatments and other home remedies and facts about Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is an Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Symptoms can vary depending on the person. The most common…

Throughout American history we as citizens have been able to possess and purchase firearms. Consequently, with the ownership of firearms just like the ownership of anything else, it is abused. Through this abuse there has been only one irrational reaction and that would be stricter gun control laws. However, the government, ill-advised on what to do about it imposes stricter and stricter laws but what they do not realize is that they are taking them away from those who are truly responsible…
