Synergistic Combination of Irinotecan and Rapamycin Orally Delivered by Nanoemulsion for Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy of Pancreatic Cancer
This study developed an irinotecan/rapamycin-loaded oral lecithin-based self-nanoemulsifying nanoemulsion preconcentrate (LBSNENPir/ra) and evaluated its synergistic combination effects on pancreatic cancer. LBSNENP loaded with irinotecan and rapamycin at a ratio of 1:1 (LBSNENPir10/ra10) had a better drug release profile and smaller particle size (<200 nm) than the drug powder. Moreover, LBSNENPir10/ra10 exhibited a strong synergistic effect (combination index [CI] < 1.0) in cell viability and combination effect studies. In the tumor inhibition study, the antitumor activity of LBSNENPir10/ra10/sily20 against MIA PaC...

PNPLA2 mobilizes retinyl esters from retinosomes and promotes the generation of 11-cis-retinal in the visual cycle
Cell Rep. 2023 Feb 8;42(2):112091. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112091. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRetinosomes are intracellular lipid bodies found in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). They contain retinyl esters (REs) and are thought to be involved in visual chromophore regeneration during dark adaptation and in case of chromophore depletion. However, key enzymes in chromophore regeneration, retinoid isomerase (RPE65), and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) are located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The mechanism and the enzyme responsible for mobilizing REs from retinosomes remained unknown. Our study demon...

Insight into application of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria promoting phosphorus availability during chicken manure composting
Bioresour Technol. 2023 Feb 4:128707. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.128707. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderstanding ecological roles of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is important to optimize composting systems. Illumina MiSeq sequencing, gene quantitation, and statistical analyses were employed to explore ecological mechanisms underlying available phosphorus (AP) facilitation during composting with the inoculation of PSB Pseudomonas sp. WWJ-22. Results displayed that the inoculation of PSB significantly increased AP from 0.83 to 1.23 g kg-1, and notably increased abundances of phosphorus-cycling genes as well as...

Structural and functional characterization of a thermostable secretory phospholipase A2 from Sciscionella marina and its application in liposome biotransformation
Secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), which hydrolyzes the sn-2 acyl bond of lecithin in a Ca2+-dependent manner, is an important enzyme in the oil and oleochemical industries. However, most sPLA2s are not stable under process conditions. Therefore, a thermostable sPLA2 was investigated in this study. A marine bacterial sPLA2 isolated from Sciscionella marina (Sm-sPLA2) was catalytically active even after 5   h of incubation at high temperatures of up to 50 ° C, which is outstanding compared with a representative bacterial sPLA2 (i.e. sPLA2 from Streptomyces violaceoruber; Sv-sPLA2). Consistent with this, the melting temp...
