Nanomedicine concerns the use of precision-engineered nanomaterials to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities for human use. The present study demonstrates the efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) biosynthesis from leaf extract of Vitex negundo L. as an antitumor agent using human colon cancer cell line HCT15. The AgNPs synthesis was determined by UV–visible spectrum and it was further characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The toxicity was evaluated using changes in cell morphology, cell viability, nuclear fragmentation, cell cycle and comet assay. The percentage of cell viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Our results showed that biosynthesized silver nanoparticles inhibited proliferation of human colon cancer cell line HCT15 with an IC50 of 20 μg/ml at 48 h incubation. AgNPs were shown to promote apoptosis as seen in the nuclear morphological examination study using propidium iodide staining and DNA fragmentation by single cell gel electrophoresis technique. Biosynthesized AgNPs arrested HCT15 cells at G0/G1 and G2/M phases with corresponding decrease in S-phase. These results suggest that AgNPs may exert its antiproliferative effects on colon cancer cell line by suppressing its growth, arresting the G0/G1-phase, reducing DNA synthesis and inducing apoptosis. 相似文献

An oral buccoadhesive drug delivery system for Losartan potassium using a hydrophilic polysaccharide, isolated from Prunus amygdalaus (Badam gum), was developed and evaluated for its potential to overcome the drawbacks associated with the conventional drug therapy. The results of the study indicate that the isolated polysaccharide has good physicochemical and morphological characteristics and is suitable for use as a mucoadhesive sustain release polymer in pharmaceutical dosage forms, to alleviate the drawbacks of the conventional drug therapy of Losartan potassium. 相似文献

Mer tyrosine kinase (MerTK) is an integral membrane protein that is preferentially expressed by phagocytic cells, where it promotes efferocytosis and inhibits inflammatory signaling. Proteolytic cleavage of MerTK at an unidentified site leads to shedding of its soluble ectodomain (soluble MER; sMER), which can inhibit thrombosis in mice and efferocytosis in vitro. Herein, we show that MerTK is cleaved at proline 485 in murine macrophages. Site-directed deletion of 6 amino acids spanning proline 485 rendered MerTK resistant to proteolysis and suppression of efferocytosis by cleavage-inducing stimuli. LPS is a known inducer of MerTK cleavage, and the intracellular signaling pathways required for this action are unknown. LPS/TLR4-mediated generation of sMER required disintegrin and metalloproteinase ADAM17 and was independent of Myd88, instead requiring TRIF adaptor signaling. LPS-induced cleavage was suppressed by deficiency of NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) and PKCδ. The addition of the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine inhibited PKCδ, and silencing of PKCδ inhibited MAPK p38, which was also required. In a mouse model of endotoxemia, we discovered that LPS induced plasma sMER, and this was suppressed by Adam17 deficiency. Thus, a TRIF-mediated pattern recognition receptor signaling cascade requires NADPH oxidase to activate PKCδ and then p38, culminating in ADAM17-mediated proteolysis of MerTK. These findings link innate pattern recognition receptor signaling to proteolytic inactivation of MerTK and generation of sMER and uncover targets to test how MerTK cleavage affects efferocytosis efficiency and inflammation resolution in vivo. 相似文献

Recruitment of leukocytes circulating in our blood to the sites of infection or tissue damage is the key phenomenon in the acute inflammatory response(s). Among the leukocytes, neutrophils are primarily recruited into the areas of acute inflammation. When neutrophils interact with activated endothelium of the blood vessels, they become migratory and cross the endothelial layer of the blood vessel wall in a process called as leukocyte extravasation. Identifying and understanding the gene regulation of this extravasation phenomenon is one of the key objective of biomedical research aimed at ameliorating or alleviating the symptoms of various diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, anaphylaxis, atherosclerosis, ulcerative colitis etc., that are exacerbated by inappropriate inflammatory stimuli. Here, we decipher and discuss the key genes implicated in the leukocyte transmigration using the acute inflammation model called as the Dextran Sulphate Sodium (DSS) induced Colitis in mice as a classic paradigm. 相似文献

The primary structure of a protein molecule comprises a linear chain of amino acid residues. Certain parts of this linear chain are
unique in nature and function. They can be classified under different categories and their roles studied in detail. Two such unique
categories are the palindromic sequences and the Single Amino Acid Repeats (SAARs), which plays a major role in the structure,
function and evolution of the protein molecule. In spite of their presence in various protein sequences, palindromes have not yet
been investigated in detail. Thus, to enable a comprehensive understanding of these sequences, a computing engine, PPS, has been
developed. The users can search the occurrences of palindromes and SAARs in all the protein sequences available in various
databases and can view the three-dimensional structures (in case it is available in the known three-dimensional protein structures
deposited to the Protein Data Bank) using the graphics plug-in Jmol. The proposed server is the first of its kind and can be freely
accessed through the World Wide Web.
