In vivo immunoprotective comparison between recombinant protein and DNA vaccine of Eimeria tenella surface antigen 4

Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Veterinary ParasitologyAuthor(s): Pengfei Zhao, Yuncan Li, Yanqin Zhou, Junlong Zhao, Rui FangAbstractEimeria tenella, belonging to protozoon, is the causative agent of cecal coccidiosis in chicken and causes enormous impacts for poultry industry. The surface antigens of apicomplexan parasites function as attachment and invasion in host-parasite interaction. Meanwhile, host immune response is triggered as a result of parasitic invasion. Immunogenicity and potency as a vaccinal candidate antigen of E. tenella surface antigen 4 (EtSAG4) have been unknown. Therefore, a...

Nutritional requirements for mycelial growth of three Lentinus species from the Philippines

Publication date: Available online 18 January 2020Source: Biocatalysis and Agricultural BiotechnologyAuthor(s): Rich Milton R. Dulay, Esperanza C. Cabrera, Sofronio P. Kalaw, Renato G. Reyes, Ching T. HouAbstractLentinus (Family Polyporaceae) is one of the most common fungal groups of wild edible mushrooms found in the Philippines. In our intention to determine the nutritional requirements, this paper highlights the effect of different carbon sources, nitrogen sources, carbon to nitrogen ratios, mineral salts, organic acids, phytohormones, and vitamins on the mycelia growth of Lentinus swartzii, Lentinus strigosus, and Len...

Integrating circulating miRNA analysis in the clinical management of lung cancer: Present or future?

Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Molecular Aspects of MedicineAuthor(s): Rita Lampignano, Vera Kloten, Thomas Krahn, Thomas SchlangeAbstractLiquid biopsy holds great promise to complement traditional analysis on cancerous tissue during clinical management of cancer: screening of patients, (early) disease diagnosis, prognosis, therapy selection as well as early response to treatment and disease monitoring. Among emerging circulating biomarkers, cell-free miRNA (cfmiRNA) may have potential in detecting lung cancer and following the course of the disease. Furthermore, several studies highlighted the p...

Small interfering RNA targeting alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor sensitizes hepatocellular carcinoma cells to sorafenib

Publication date: Available online 18 January 2020Source: Life SciencesAuthor(s): Khalil Hajiasgharzadeh, Mohammad Hossein Somi, Behzad Mansoori, Vahid Khaze Shahgoli, Afshin Derakhshani, Ahad Mokhtarzadeh, Dariush Shanehbandi, Behzad BaradaranAbstractAimsIt has been demonstrated that reduced expression of alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) led to reduced chemotherapeutic drugs resistance in various cancer cells. However, whether small interfering RNA (siRNA) mediated knockdown of α7nAChR can reduce sorafenib (SOR) resistance in HCC cells remains to be determined.Materials and methodsThe effects ...

Kinetic profile and anti-diabetic potential of fermented Punica granatum juice using Lactobacillus casei

Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Process BiochemistryAuthor(s): Siti Marhaida Mustafa, Lee Suan Chua, Hesham Ali El- Enshasy, Fadzilah Adibah Abd Majid, Siti Zulaiha HanapiAbstractLactobacillus casei NRRL-B-1922 was used to ferment whole fruit juice of Punica granatum. P. granatum which is also known as pomegranate could support the growth of L. casei even without nutrient supplementation. This can be seen from the maximum specific growth rate of the strain in shake flasks (0.08 h−1) and stirred tank bioreactor (0.11 h−1). Quercetin-3-glucoside was detected as the most abu...

2 H NMR of oriented phospholipid/cholesterol bilayers containing an amphiphilic peptide

Publication date: Available online 18 January 2020Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - BiomembranesAuthor(s): Miranda L. Schmidt, James H. DavisAbstractLipid bilayers form the basis of cell membranes and the phase behaviour of the membrane has been linked to proper cell function. Model membranes composed of relatively simple mixtures of phospholipids and cholesterol can already exhibit complex phase behaviour. Specifically, liquid ordered–liquid disordered fluid phase coexistence occurs in mixtures which contain one saturated long chain phospholipid and one unsaturated long chain phospholipid and cholesterol...
