While mitochondrial SOD2-mRNA is specifically induced at comparable levels, the transcription of the two antimicrobial peptides HBD2 (DEFB4) and S100A7 was more highly amplified (expressed up to four to six times more) with LRP-VFB than with the original VFB.
Sheets 5 and 8 represent the genes in sub-clusters 3a and 4b that are specifically induced at 20 hpi in response to A. euteiches and P. pisi, respectively.
In this study, we identified the A. nidulans xtrD (xylose transporter) gene, which encodes a Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) transporter, and which was specifically induced at the transcriptional level by xylose in a XlnR-dependent manner, while being partially repressed by glucose in a CreA-dependent manner.
αVβ3 integrin has been shown to be specifically induced in luminal epithelium at the time of implantation [14], and therefore, proposed to play a role in this process.
Genes that are specific of the placenta, either early or at term, have a slight trend to be specifically induced by hypoxia in early term placenta.
Therefore, our analysis does not necessarily exclude detection of proteins that are specifically induced only at defined cell cycle stages.
In agreement with the microarray data, miR-146a and b were specifically induced in embryos at 8 hours post injection (hpi) with the S. typhimurium SL1027 strain.
Cluster 2 included two subclasses in which subclass 2a represented genes that were suppressed at 6 hpi while induced at 20 hpi in response to both species while cluster 2b included genes that were specifically induced or suppressed at each time point responding to the pathogens (Fig. 4).
One set of the TFs, including 14 members, was specifically induced by drought in at least one leaf tissue or panicle, except for one, AP2/EREBP TF, which was repressed in TL and BL.
Accordingly, two LEA genes were specifically induced by the pathogenic isolate at 72 hpi.
