Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is an inducible inflammatory protein whose expression is partially regulated at the post-transcriptional level. We investigated whether glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) binds to the AU-rich element (ARE) of COX-2 mRNA for its degradation. Knockdown of GAPDH in hepa1c1c7 cells

There is increasing evidence demonstrating that glutaredoxin 1 (GRX1), a cytosolic enzyme responsible for the catalysis of protein deglutathionylation, plays distinct roles in inflammation and apoptosis by inducing changes in the cellular redox system. In this study, we investigated whether

Sperm-specific glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDS) is normally expressed only in sperms, but not in somatic tissues. Analysis of the expression of GAPDS mRNA in different cancer cell lines shows that the content of GAPDS mRNA is enhanced in some

Normalization to a reference gene is the method of choice for quantitative PCR analysis. The stability of reference genes is critical for accurate gene expression analysis, as significant variations in reference gene expression can alter experimental results and conclusions. In

The purpose of this study was to investigate how age and 1 week of conventional resistance exercise affects commonly used housekeeping gene (HKG) messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in skeletal muscle. Ten college-aged (18-25 years) and 10 older (60-76 years) men completed
