Application Of Green Fluorescent Protein As A Marker For Selection Of Transgenic Mouse Embryos Before Implantation, Haydar Bağiş, Levent Keski̇ntepe

Turkish Journal of Biology

In this study, we evaluated the application of green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, for efficient selection of possible transgenic and non-mosaic mouse embryos after microinjection. We injected 353 one-cell mouse zygotes with a DNA fragment carrying Gfp gene under the control of \beta-actin gene promoter. Eighty-seven per cent (307 embryos) of the injected embryos survived after microinjection. The surviving embryos were cultured for an additional day and then analysed for detection of GFP expression using a standard fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) filter set attached to a microscope. In this analysis, 34 % of the two-cell stage embryos …


Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Skeletal Muscle And Arterioles Of Rats With Streptozotosin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus, Ci̇han Demi̇rci̇, Kadri̇ye Akgün Dar, İlhan Uyaner Jan 2001

Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Skeletal Muscle And Arterioles Of Rats With Streptozotosin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus, Ci̇han Demi̇rci̇, Kadri̇ye Akgün Dar, İlhan Uyaner

Turkish Journal of Biology

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) that uses NADPH as a cofactor is an enzyme which produces nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. Endothelial-derived (eNOS), inducible (iNOS) and neuronal (nNOS) nitric oxide synthase are 3 known isoforms. Endothelial NO regulates the vascular tonus and causes the dilatation of vessels, while NOS localized in the sarcolemma of striated muscle plays a role in the regulation of muscle hemodynamics. Many authors have found differences in NO production in some pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension and atherosclerosis. In this study, NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) was histochemically employed to explore any changes in NO production associated …

Analysis Of Ras Gene Mutation In Human Oral Tumours By Polymerase Chain Reaction And Direct Sequencing, Si̇nan Süzen, James M. Parry Jan 2001

Analysis Of Ras Gene Mutation In Human Oral Tumours By Polymerase Chain Reaction And Direct Sequencing, Si̇nan Süzen, James M. Parry

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Genetic alterations in proto-oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes are believed to be one of the key events in the multistage process of carcinogenesis. Activating point mutations occurring in either one of the three ras proto-oncogene families are common genetic alterations in human and animal neoplasms. However, the mechanisms leading to oral cancer are not completely understood. Activation of the ras oncogene in oral carcinogenesis, although absent or rare in the western world, accounts for up to 35% of all malignancies in India and South Asia. Recognised aetiological agents of oral cancer include tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco-associated compounds such as nitrosamines …
