Leader in Biomolecular Solutions for Life Science DEFA3 Rabbit pAb Catalog No.: A5340 Basic Information Background Catalog No. Defensins are a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in A5340 host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary Observed MW tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence 13kDa and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 3, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a Calculated MW role in phagocyte-mediated host defense. Several alpha defensin genes are clustered 10kDa on chromosome 8. This gene differs from defensin, alpha 1 by only one amino acid. This gene and the gene encoding defensin, alpha 1 are both subject to copy number Category variation.

Recent studies have analyzed the sali- vary proteome in children and adolescents with extensive carious lesions to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. The current study aimed to investigate saliva’s diagnostic ability through proteomics to detect the potential differential expression of proteins speciﬁc for the occurrence of carious lesions. For this study, we performed bioinformatics and functional analysis of proteomic datasets, previously examined by our group, from samples of adolescents with regulated and unreg- ulated type 1 diabetes, as they compare with healthy controls.

DEFA Gene Variants Associated with Iga Nephropathy in a Chinese Population
Genes and Immunity (2015) 16, 231–237 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1466-4879/15 www.nature.com/gene ORIGINAL ARTICLE DEFA gene variants associated with IgA nephropathy in a Chinese population YY Qi1,2,3,4, XJ Zhou1,2,3,4, FJ Cheng1,2,3,4, P Hou1,2,3,4, L Zhu1,2,3,4, SF Shi1,2,3,4, LJ Liu1,2,3,4,JCLv1,2,3,4 and H Zhang1,2,3,4 IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a complex syndrome with high genetic heterogeneity. More recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) from Southern Han population revealed that variants within 8p23.1, where the DEFA genes encoding a-defensins assembled, were associated with susceptibility to IgAN. To replicate the association and fine-map the genetic variants, a case–control genetic study from an independent Northern Han cohort was conducted. A total of 60 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in a region spanning 350 kb encompassing the DEFA genes cluster were analyzed in 2096 individuals. Copy number variations of DEFA1A3 within the loci were also checked for the independent association. Functional significance of the associated variants was further examined by the in silico method as well as by cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci analysis with mRNA. It showed that 17 out of 60 (28.3%) variants were associated with susceptibility to IgAN. Two independent signals with functional potentials were discovered (rs2738058, P = 4.64 × 10− 5, odds ratio (OR) = 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66–0.87 and rs9644778, P = 4.78 × 10 − 3, OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.06–1.39).

From Gene Lists to Interaction Networks for Biological Interpretation
From gene lists to interaction networks for biological interpretation Reinterpretation of the results from a diet intervention study in light of a new statistical analysis Maren Svanem Master of Science Submission date: June 2017 Supervisor: Martin Tremen R. Kuiper, IBI Co-supervisor: Berit Johansen, IBI Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Biology Preface This master thesis marks the end of an era, a final task at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) before life as a student suddenly becomes a happy memory and life as a working adult becomes reality. Life as a teacher awaits. The thesis is the end of a master’s degree project in cell and molecular biology at the Department of Biology at NTNU. In 2010, Berit Jo- hansen’s research group, with the PhD students Ingerid Arbo and Hans-Richard Brattbakk in front, completed a study, here referred to as “the diet intervention study”. Subsequently, a new statistical analysis of the results has been conducted, and a need for a system understanding of the biology behind both the new and the old results arose. This thesis is an attempt to address this need. I want to thank my main supervisor Martin Kuiper, who has been patient with me and always helpful. In addition, I have had valuable help from my co supervisor Berit Johansen, who made me believe in my part of this project. Special thanks must be granted to Rafel Riudavets, who pro- grammed for me in R Studio – I could not have produced my results without you. Finally, a huge thank you to my family and my boyfriend for all the support throughout these years.

Β-Defensin Expression in the Canine Nasal Cavity by Michelle Satomi
β-defensin expression in the canine nasal cavity by Michelle Satomi Aono A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science Auburn, Alabama May 6th, 2013 Keywords: defensin, innate immunity, canine nasal cavity Copyright 2013 by Michelle S. Aono Approved by Edward E. Morrison, Professor and Head of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology Robert Kemppainen, Associate Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology John C. Dennis, Research Fellow IV of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology Abstract Defensins are a family of endogenous antibiotics that are important in mucosal innate immunity, but little is currently known about defensin expression in the nasal cavity. Herein expression of canine β-defensin (cBD)1, cBD103, cBD108 and cBD123 RNA in the respiratory epithelium (RE), cBD1 and 108 RNA in the olfactory epithelium (OE), and cBD1, cBD108, cBD119 and cBD123 RNA in the olfactory bulb (OB) is reported. cBD1 and 103 were also expressed in the canine nares and tongue. cBD102, cBD120, and cBD122 RNA expression was undetectable in the tissues examined. cBD103 transcript abundance in canine nares showed a 90 fold range of inter-individual variation. Murine β-defensin 14 expression mirrors that of cBD103 in the dog, with high expression in the nares and tongue, but has little to no expression in the RE, OE or OB. High expression of cBD103 in the nares may provide indirect protection to the OE by eliminating pathogens in the rostral portion of the nasal cavity, whereas cBD1 and 108 may provide direct protection to the RE and OE.

Abstract Background: Copy number variants (CNVs) account for a significant proportion of normal phenotypic variation and may have an important role in human pathological variation. The α- defensin cluster on human chromosome 8p23.1 is one of the better-characterized CNVs, in which high copy number variability affecting the DEFA1 and DEFA3 genes has been reported. Moreover, the DEFA3 gene has been found to be absent in a significant proportion of control population subjects. CNVs involving immune genes, such as α-defensins, are possibly contributing to innate immunity differences observed between individuals and influence predisposition and susceptibility to disease.
