The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the mechanism of action of a pyroglutamate-modified peptide (pE-K092D) on in vitro growth inhibition of MDA-Pca-2b prostate cancer cells. This peptide was derived from a peptide previously isolated from the testis of the lesser spotted dogfish and
Antibodies against Schizophyllan (SPG) or SPG conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were raised in rabbits by multiple subcutaneous immunization. The titer of SPG-reactive antibodies in the antiserum to SPG-BSA conjugate was significantly higher than in the antiserum to SPG as assessed by
Microarray technique was employed to study differences in gene expression profile induced by Aplidine treatment in the Molt-4 human leukemic T cell line. Aplidine is a novel marine compound purified from caribbean tunicate (sea squirt) Aplidium Albicans. Despite promising anti-tumor activity, few
A highly active actinobacterial strain isolated from untapped areas of Northwestern Himalayas and characterised as Streptomyces puniceus strain AS13 by 16S rRNA gene sequencing was selected for production of bioactive metabolites. The bioassay-guided fractionation of microbial cultured ethyl acetate
In order to identify genes which could predict chemosensitivity in colorectal cancer, gene expression and chemosensitivity were examined in colorectal cancer cell lines. Gene expression profiling of 5 colorectal cancer and 3 normal cell lines was performed using a 22K spotted oligonucleotide
Cancer therapy is currently a major challenge within the research community, especially in reducing the side effects of treatments and to develop new specific strategies against cancers that still have a poor prognosis. In this context, alternative strategies using biotechnologies, such as marine
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens are an emerging threat in this century. Epinecidin-1 is a multi-functional Antimicrobial Peptide (AMP) produced by Orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) has been shown to have extensive potentials as an alternative for current antibiotics. Due to The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-anaphylactic and anti-allergic potentials of saracatinib, a Src family kinase inhibitor that was already shown to be safe in clinical trials when it was used as an anti-cancer drug. Using in vitro mast cell models, we found that saracatinib
Lectins have been reported from various tissues of a diversity of fish species including Japanese eel, conger eel, electric eel, bighead carp, gibel carp, grass carp, Arabian Gulf catfish, channel catfish, blue catfish, catfish, pike perch, perch, powan, zebrafish, toxic moray, cobia fish, steelhead
OBJECTIVE
Cytogenetic analysis of the effects of sodium humate in induced γ irradiation mutagenesis in Allium test.
METHODS
Analysis of the root meristem cells of Allium cepa L. seeds carried by ana telophase. Inves tigated the effect of sodium humate (100 mg/l) on cytogenetic effects γ irradiation
OBJECTIVE
The rapid diagnosis of bacteremia is crucial for patient management including the choice of antimicrobial therapy, especially in cases of hematological disease, because neutropenia occurs frequently during antineoplastic chemotherapy or disease progression. We describe a rapid detection
Hepcidin, a cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptide, is widespread in fish and shows multiple activities, including antimicrobial, antivirus, and antitumor. Here, a new four-cysteine hepcidin isoform gene, EC-hepcidin3, was cloned from the marine-cultured orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides).
Epinecidin-1 is an antimicrobial peptide derived from the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). The mature epinecidin-1 peptide is predicted to have an amphipathic α-helical structure and a non-helical hydrophilic domain at the C-terminal RRRH. The majority of work studying the
Synovial sarcoma is a rare but highly malignant and metastatic disease. Despite its relative sensitivity to chemotherapies, the high recurrence and low 5-year survival rate for this disease suggest that new effective therapeutic agents are urgently needed. Marine antimicrobial peptide epinecidin-1
Objective. Comprehensive cytogenetic analysis of the effects of sodium lignohumate in induced γ-irradiation mutagenesis in Allium-test. Materials and methods. Analysis of the root meristem cells of Allium cepa L. seeds carried by ana-telophase. Lignohumate investigated the effect of sodium (100
