Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLINICAL EXPERIENCE OF CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY INTEGRATED WITH OLEIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH DE-GLYCOSYLATED VITAMIN D BINDING PROTEINEmma Ward, Rodney Smith, Jacopo J.V. Branca et al.Proteins highly represented in milk such as α-lactalbumin and lactoferrin bind Oleic Acid (OA) to form complexes with selective anti-tumor activity. A protein present in milk, colostrum and blood, vitamin D binding protein is the precursor of a potent Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF) and in analogy with other OA-protein complexes, we proposed that OA-GcMAF could demonstrate a greater immunotherapeutic activity … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Mar 2014 · 13,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Nutritional Quality of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) by Metabolic Engineering of Isoflavone PathwayAhmed Mohamed El-Shehawi, Abdelmegid Ibrahim Fahmi, Mona Mohamed Elseehy, Hesham Ahmed NagatyIsoflavones are large group of secondary metabolites produced in legumes such as soybeans. They have essential biological functions as nutraceutical and health functions for human. They are involved in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing organisms and plant competition (allelopathy). In this report, isoflavonoids were expressed in wheat (Triticum aestivum) via introducing the key enzymes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico and in Vitro Studies: Tryparedoxin Peroxidase Inhibitor Activity of Methotrexate for Antileishmanial ActivityRavi Kumar Gundampati, Shraddha Sahu, Avinash Kumar Srivastava et al.In order to understand the mechanism of molecular interactions at the active site of Tryparedoxin Peroxidase (Try P), homology modeling and docking studies were performed. We generated a Three-Dimensional (3D) model of target protein based on the Crystal structure of Leishmania Major Try PI (PDB ID: 3TUE) using modeler software. Docking analysis was carried out to study the effects of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2013 · 7,893 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Cell to Cell Interaction of Breast Cancer Cells Regulates Cancer Invasion Via ADAM15Daichi Ota, Masahiro Ikesue, Yutaka Matsui et al.Increasing evidence suggests that a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 15 (ADAM15) have essential roles in the process of cancer metastasis via degradation of the extracellular matrix and binding to integrins. Among them, ADAM15 possesses an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence within its disintegrin domain (d.d., hereafter) and binds to RGD recognizing-integrins such as αvβ3 and α5β1 and also interacts with integrin α9β1 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2012 · 7,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-Yield Production of Bioactive Flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus) Myostatin-1 Prodomain in Escherichia coliIl Shik Shin, Hyung-Joo Jin, Jeong Hwan Kim et al.Myostatin Propeptide (MstnPro), the N-terminal part of Mstn precursor molecule, binds to Mstn and suppress its activity. Mstn is a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth in many animal species, thus MstnPro has a great potential to be used as an agent to enhance skeletal muscle growth in animal species. Bioactive fish Myostatin-1 Propeptide (Mstn1Pro) proteins were recently expressed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydrobiopterin (BH2): Key Determinant in Influencing Arginine Mediated Endothelial Tolerance and DysfunctionSrinidi Mohan, Harsh Patel, Jorge Bolinaga et al.The redox-sensitive tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor that is required by endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) for L-arginine (ARG) mediated Nitric Oxide (NO) generation. Oxidation of BH4 causes cofactor insufficiency and uncoupling of eNOS, resulting in product switching from NO to O2⋅– production. Here we tested the hypothesis that eNOS uncoupling is not simply a consequence of BH4 insufficiency, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico, In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Safety and Anti-inflammatory Activity of CurcuminM. Venkata, R. Sripathy, D. Anjana et al.Problem statement: Curcumin the active component of turmeric is known for its wide biological actions. Extensive studies on curcumin highlighted its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-coagulant activity. The anti-inflammatory activities of curcumin have been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Though curcumin and its anti-inflammatory properties are well documented, the exact mechanism of action and effective in vivo … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 8,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of U6 snRNA Transcription by PTENStephanie Cabarcas, Kounosuke Watabe, Laura SchrammProblem statement: RNA polymerase III (RNA pol III) is responsible for transcribing many of the small structural RNA molecules involved in RNA processing and protein translation, thereby regulating the growth rate of a cell. RNA pol III transcribes both gene internal (tRNA) and gene external (U6 snRNA) promoters and proper initiation by RNA polymerase III requires the transcription initiation factor … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUterus-Relaxing Study of a Sudanese Herb (El-Hazha)Aimun Abdelgaffar Elhassan Ahmed, Robert Gaspar, Arpad Marki et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacological effects of the Methanolic-extract (AH2) of El-Hazha and its sub-fractions. Approach: These investigations were carried out on in vitro isolated uterus preparations from Non-Pregnant (NP) and Late-Pregnant rats (LP).
