Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduction of the Chemokines CCL3α, CCL3α and CCL5 in Atherosclerotic PatientsAlyaa Mousa, Amani Al-Zaki, Safa Taha, Moiz BakhietChemokines recruit immune cells to inflammatory sites and promote the process of inflammation. The role of these mediators in the disease process in atherosclerosis is not fully studied. The spontaneous mRNA expression and intracellular protein production of the potential inflammatory chemokines CCL3α and CCL3β (macrophage- inflammatory protein-1α and β; CCR3α/β ligand) and CCL5 (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Atorvastatin on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-induced Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Human MacrophagesBensheng Liu, Huifan Li, Yan Wang, Li ZhangAtorvastatin (ATV), an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases. Mononuclear Macrophages (MMs) are critical immune cells involved in atherosclerosis progression, participating in processes such as foam cell formation, cytokine secretion, and the development of fibrous cap and lipid core. To further elucidate the mechanism by which ATV exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis through the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2025 · 2,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparation, Purification and Anti-aging Activity of Tobacco PolysaccharidesMengyue Huang, Jingwu Song, Shuaishuai Chang et al.To separate tobacco polysaccharides and investigate their antioxidant and anti-aging properties, crude tobacco polysaccharides were extracted from raw tobacco using hot water, followed by purification through DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography. The molecular weight and monosaccharide composition of the isolated polysaccharides were analyzed using HPGPC and HPLC. The antioxidant activities of these tobacco polysaccharides were tested using DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radicals … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2025 · 5,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Aerobic Exercise on PPAR-γ Expression in Adipose Tissue and RT-PCR Detection AnalysisXiaodong Zhan, Chenguang Bi, Jie WeiThis study aimed to examine the effect of organized aerobic exercise on the expression level of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) gene in adipose tissue by performing digital variant of RT-PCR, Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) which is a highly sensitive method for counting the gene copy numbers. The proposed scheme consists of three-stage analytical procedure, namely, Subphase I Controlled Aerobic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2026 · 580 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Genetic Basis of Starch Biosynthesis and Waxy Allelic Variation in Rice Grain QualityInnabat Sartbayeva, Aigul Amirova, Dana Mynbaeva et al.The culinary, nutritional, and industrial properties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are fundamentally governed by the structural arrangement of endosperm starch, a complex physiological phenotype shaped by genetic architecture and environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the molecular pathways driving starch biosynthesis in rice, centering on allelic diversity within the Waxy (Wx) locus, which codes for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2026 · 479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpigenetic Regulation of Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Skin Aging: Mechanisms and InteractionsJiguang Yang, Yusong Shi, Xiaoqing YanSkin aging results from complex interactions between genetic factors, environmental stressors, and epigenetic modifications that regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Accumulation of senescent cells impairs tissue regeneration through mechanisms including telomere shortening, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. While epigenetic pathways regulate skin homeostasis, regeneration, and senescence, the specific epigenetic changes occurring during UV exposure, chronological aging, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2026 · 1,458 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractNuciferine Attenuates Cigarette Smoke-Induced Senescence in HepG-2 Cells via the miR-217/SIRT1/Nrf2 PathwayYun-Hong Zhao, Yi-Meng Ge, Wei-Jia Xu et al.The lotus leaf, widely used in both medicine and cuisine, contains bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. Nuciferine (NF), an active constituent of significant importance, is extracted from the lotus leaf. The present study sought to uncover the molecular pathways through which Nuciferine (NF) mitigates cellular senescence triggered by Cigarette Smoke Components (CSCs) in HepG-2 cells, employing an experimental model where … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2025 · 2,296 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHibiscus Flower Extract and Niacinamide Show Enhanced Whitening Effects in Mouse Melanoma Cells (B16F10)Jae Eun Choi, Tae Su Jang, Jung Min Park et al.Melanoma, a type of cancer that most often occurs on skin exposed to UV rays, is becoming increasingly common. Recent research has focused actively on using natural products. The goal of this study was to compare the melanin-inhibitory effects of Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) flower Extract (HE) and Niacinamide (NA), a functional ingredient with whitening effects, on melanoma cells. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2023 · 7,226 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Endoribonuclease Domain of IRE1 and its Substrate HAC1 are Structurally Linked Components of the Unfolded Protein Response in FungiLuis David Maldonado-BonillaThe unfolded protein response sustains the folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum under conditions that increase the activity of the secretory pathway. In fungi, the unfolded protein response exclusively depends on the kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1, which senses the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and catalyzes the committed step in the unconventional splicing of HAC1 mRNA that encodes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 14 Oct 2020 · 6,541 accessesView PDFCite
