Is differential ferritin expression associated with iron deficiency in coeliac disease?
Increased enterocyte ferritin expression may promote iron deficiency in CD and this effect seems to be dependent upon TNF-alpha expression in gut lymphocytes.
Solexa sequencing and microarray hybridization were used to discover 232 candidate conserved miRNAs from 61 miRNA families and 273 candidate species-specific miRNAs in hybrid yellow poplar. In these predicted miRNAs, 64 conserved miRNAs and 177 species-specific miRNAs were detected by both sequencing and microarray hybridization. Our results suggest that miRNAs have wide-ranging characteristics and important roles during all stages of somatic embryogenesis in this economically important species.
