Flavonoid-rich berry-extract influences expression of genes in the iron-uptake pathway in human intestinal Caco-2 cells
TL;DR: It is shown that berry-flavonoids influence the expression of components of the Fe-uptake pathway, and the abundance of the proteins HEPH and FPN, involved in the basolateral release of Fe, was significantly increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of quercetin on non-haem iron transport in human intestinal Caco-2 cells
TL;DR: The influence of quercetin, the most abundant flavonol in the diet on iron bioavailability is investigated by measuring transepithelial iron transport using radioactive Fe to indicate that polyphenols may potentiate iron uptake across the apical membrane but act intracellularly to inhibit iron efflux via ferroportin.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA Splicing—Cutting and Pasting Genes
TL;DR: In RNA splicing, pieces of genetic instructions are cut and pasted together to form the final instructions for producing proteins as mentioned in this paper , which has driven us to rethink what we previously believed about genes, which are the most fundamental units of information in biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
MicroRNA expression in human intestinal Caco-2 cells in response to a flavonoid-rich berry extract
TL;DR: This study investigated miRNA expression in response to a flavonoid-rich berry extract in human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers and identified nine differentially expressed miRNAs as potential regulators of the intestinal sugar transporter, GLUT2.
