Evaluation of real-time PCR endogenous control genes for analysis of gene expression in bovine endometrium (2009)

Walker, Caroline G, Meier, Susanne, Mitchell, Murray D, Roche, John R, Littlejohn, Mathew

Abstract Background Quantitative real-time PCR gene expression results are generally normalised using endogenous control genes. These reference genes should be expressed at a constant level across...

Macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 in fetal membranes and amniotic fluid from pregnancies with and without preterm labour and premature rupture of membranes (2003)

Keelan, Jeffrey A., Wang, Kaye, Chaiworapongsa, Tinnakorn, Romero, Roberto, Mitchell, Murray D., Sato, Timothy A., ...

The placenta and fetal membranes are the site of expression of macrophage inhibitory cytokine (MIC‐1), a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β superfamily. We hypothesized that...

Metabolizing enzyme localization and activities in the first trimester human placenta: the effect of maternal and gestational age, smoking and alcohol consumption (2002)

Collier, Abby C., Tingle, Malcolm D., Paxton, James W., Mitchell, Murray D., Keelan, Jeffrey A.

BACKGROUND: The rationale for this study was to assess the expression, activity and localization of the enzymes uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), β-glucuronidase, cytochrome P450 1A...

Prostaglandin biosynthesis in the human fetal adrenal gland: Regulation by glucocorticosteroids

Mitchell, Murray D., Carr, Bruce R., Mason, J. Ian, Simpson, Evan R.

Human fetal adrenal (HFA) tissue was maintained in organ culture to evaluate the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and hormonal regulation of prostaglandin formation by this tissue. The HFA tissue...

Unique Suppression of Prostaglandin H Synthase-2 Expression by Inhibition of Histone Deacetylation, Specifically in Human Amnion but Not Adjacent Choriodecidua

Mitchell, Murray D.

The key molecular regulatory mechanisms that govern and coordinate the molecular alterations that underpin the process of human labor remain incompletely understood although enhanced intrauterine...

Autocrine Human Growth Hormone Stimulates Oncogenicity of Endometrial Carcinoma Cells

Pandey, Vijay, Perry, Jo K., Mohankumar, Kumarasamypet M., Kong, Xiang-Jun, Liu, Shu-Min, Wu, Zheng-Sheng, ...

Recent published data have demonstrated elevated levels of human GH (hGH) in endometriosis and endometrial adenocarcinoma. Herein, we demonstrate that autocrine production of hGH can enhance the in...
