However, the underlying mechanisms leading to the development of NAFLD are still not fully understood. Glycosyltransferases(GTs) are a diverse class of enzymes involved in catalyzing the transfer of one or multiple sugar residues to a wide range of acceptor molecules. GTs mediate a wide range of functions from structure and storage to signaling, and play a key role in many fundamental biological processes. Therefore, it is anticipated that GTs have a role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. In this article, we present an overview of the basic information on NAFLD, particularly GTs and glycosylation modification of certain molecules and their association with NAFLD pathogenesis. In addition, the effects and mechanisms of some GTs in the development of NAFLD are summarized.展开更多

Its pathogenesis is unclear till now. In the study, gene expression profiles of the PBMC （peripheral blood mononuclear cell） derived respectively from KD patients and healthy in KD areas were compared. Total RNA was isolated, amplified, labeled and hybridized to Agilent 4 ~ 44 K Whole Human Genome Oligonucleotide Microarray. Significant canonical pathways were analyzed by IPA （ingenuity pathway analysis） to identify differently expressed genes and pathways involved in the cardiovascular system development and function. Quantitative RT-PCR was applied to further validate our microarray results. Eighty-three up-regulated （ratios 〉 2.0） and nine down-regulated glycosyltransferase genes （ratios 〈 0.5） in PBMC in KD patients were detected by significance analysis of microarrays. Two significant canonical pathways from glycosyltransferase gene expression profiles were screened by IPA. The results of qRT-PCR show that four up-regulated （BMP 1/7/10 and FGF 18） and one down-regulated （BMP2） genes are consistent with those in microarray experiment, confirming the validity of the microarray data. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that bone morphogenetic proteins and fibroblast growth factors might play an important role in the pathogenesis of KD. This further helps us to understand the pathogenesis of KD, as well as dilated cardiomyopathy.展开更多
