Shiga toxin-producing E. coli(STEC), also called verotoxinogenic E. coli, usually do not cause disease inanimals but may cause watery diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis, and/orhaemolytic uraemic syndrome in humans. Zoonotic STEC include the O157:H7strains and, with increasing frequency, certain non-O157 strains.
1 Data show that tumor cells containing the stem cell-like CD44(+)/CD24(-) signature had a lower expression of the M-phase cell cycle genes than the CD44(-)/CD24(+) cells, and in the CD44(+)/CD24(-) cocultures, these genes were induced. The CD44 gene is silenced in NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells by DNA methylation of a CpG island & underacetylation of histone H3 at the promoter. 2  Brahma protein & phosphorylated RNA Pol II interact with the promoter region of CD44.
