Babesiosis acquired through blood transfusion, California, USA.

Van V Ngo and Rachel R Civen

Emerg Infect Dis 15(5):785-7 (2009) PMID 19402969

Babesiosis was reported in a California resident who received a transfusion of blood products collected in the disease-endemic northeastern region of the United States. Babesiosis should be considered year-round in the diagnosis of febrile and afebrile patients with abnormal blood cell counts who have received blood products from disease-endemic areas.

  1. The ERK1/2-hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha axis regulates human ABCC6 gene expression in hepatocytes.

    J Biol Chem 285(30):22800-8 (2010) PMID 20463007 PMCID PMC2906271

    We investigated the transcriptional regulation of the gene and observed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) inhibits its expression in HepG2 cells via the activation of ERK1/2. Similarly, other factors activating the cascade also inhibited ABCC6 expression. We identified the ERK1/2 response element...

  2. YY1-dependent transcriptional regulation of the human GDAP1 gene
    Marcin Ratajewski and Lukasz Pulaski

    Genomics 94(6):407-413 (2009) PMID 19720140

    We present for the first time a functional analysis of the GDAP1 gene promoter which we found to be transcriptionally regulated by YY1, a broadly studied factor that seems to be involved in regulating many of the same cellular phenomena as GDAP1. We show that GDAP1 is broadly expressed in cancer cel...

    Biochem Biophys Res Commun 391(1):5 (2010) PMID 19995553

    We investigated HIF1A expression in HMC-1 immature hematopoietic cells and CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors. HMC-1 cells exhibited exceptionally low levels of HIF1A expression compared to other cell lines as determined by real-time PCR, and multipotent CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow e...
