L-asparaginase has lots of medical and industrial applications. Ever since L-asparaginase anti-tumor activity was first demonstrated, its production using microbial systems has attracted considerable attention owing to their cost-effective and eco-friendly nature. The aim of this study is to obtain
In the present study, we report the draft genome sequence of an obligate thermophile Geobacillus thermoleovorans strain RL isolated from Manikaran hot water spring located atop the Himalayan ranges, India. Strain RL grew optimally at 70 °C but not below 45 °C. The draft genome (3.39 Mb)
To clarify the mechanism by which radon hot springs prevent cancer or not, in this study, blood was collected from residents in the Misasa hot spring district and in a control district. The level of a representative cancer-suppressive gene, p53, and the activity of a representative antioxidant
IFN-γ is a pleiotropic cytokine with significant roles in antiviral, antitumor and immune regulation. It could be used as an immuno-enhancer to improve fish protectiveness against pathogens. In this study, the prokaryotic expression plasmid pTwin1-N-IFN-γ was constructed to express Cyprinus carpio
Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) has been used for traditional herbal medicine for treatment of cancer, hepatitis, and diabetes in the Orient. Numerous bioactive compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, lignans, and selaginellins have been identified in this medicinal plant. Among them,
The antitumor effect of L-lysine-α-oxidase from the culture fluid of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai F-180 was investigated for the first time. The in vitro studies revealed its high activity on a model of the forest-spring encephalitis virus and no activity against the Sindbis, Western Nile, Tyaginya
PIM kinases are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that potentiate the progression of the cell cycle and inhibit apoptosis. Because of this, they are considered to be proto-oncogenes, and they represent an interesting target for the development of anticancer drugs. In mammals, three PIM
The seasonal changes in the chemical composition of Olea europaea leaves from January to December at Liangshan (China) have been investigated. The highest total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and free amino acid content (FAAC) levels were found in May and December,
After initial treatment for breast cancer, lymphedema often affects the trunk as well as the arm. Evaluation of truncal swelling by the clinical "pinch test" of the posterior axillary fold is unreliable. Our aim was to develop an objective measurement, using modified Harpenden skinfold calipers.
SHetA2 is a novel anticancer drug with poor aqueous solubility. In formal toxicological studies, Kolliphor HS 15 was used as a solubilizing agent to increase the oral bioavailability of SHetA2. The purpose of this study was to formulate SHetA2 and Kolliphor HS 15 as solid powders to facilitate their
Insects' cuticles have a potential to be evaluated as a chitin source. Especially adults of aquatic insects like mayflies (order Ephemeroptera) swarm in enormous numbers in artificially lit areas while mating in spring and then die by leaving huge amounts of dead insects' bodies. Here in this study,
In experiments designed to study effect of taxan-containing agents on the progeny of Wistar rats, one of the parents was given a single intravenous injection of the antineoplastic drug paclitaxel 1, 3 and 6 months before crossing with the untreated partner. The number of systemic pathological
Currently, microrobots are receiving attention because of their small size and motility, which can be applied to minimal invasive therapy. Additionally, various microrobots using hydrogel with the characteristics of biocompatibility and biodegradability are also being developed. Among them,
BACKGROUND
Viscum album L. (Loranthaceae) is a semi-parasitic plant used in pharmacy and medicine mostly for its hypotensive and anticancer activity. The effects may be related to the presence of triterpenic acids, such as betulinic (BA) and oleanolic (OA) acids.
OBJECTIVE
In our investigations the
