The use of ferric acetate-uranium acetate colour reaction for the estimation of cholesterol in the supernatants of plasma samples after precipitation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol by heparin-MnCl2 was assessed and compared with the conventional method using the FeCl3 colour reaction and also with the method using o-phthalaldehyde as the colouring reagent. All three methods gave comparable values when total cholesterol in plasma samples was determined and also when high density lipoprotein (HDL) fractions were separated by ultracentrifugation and the cholesterol contents determined. But when heparin-MnCl2 precipitation was used for HDL separation, and the cholesterol content determined, the FeCl3 method gave significantly lower values. This could be due to interference of the cholesterol colour reaction with FeCl3, due to Mn2+ ions present in the supernatant. Addition of Mn2+ to cholesterol standards and subsequent colour development with ferric acetate-uranium acetate and FeCl3 reagents showed that Mn2+ decreased the absorbancy of the coloured complex at 560 nm only when FeCl3 was used. Percentage recovery of added cholesterol was also lower when the heparin-MnCl2 supernatant was treated with FeCl3 reagent for colour development. Use of ferric acetate-uranium acetate reagent provides a simpler and quicker method. It does not suffer from interference due to the presence of Mn2+ ions and gives results comparable to the o-phthalaldehyde method and those using ultracentrifugation as the separation procedure. 相似文献

A thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus strain AP-4 excreting a thermostable alkaline protease, was isolated from a local compost. Maximum activity of protease (250 U/ml) was after 36 h growth in broth at pH 9.0 and at 55°C. The protease was optimally active at pH 9.0 and 55°C and was stable in 5 mm CaCl2. The enzyme was completely inactivated by PMSF, EDTA and -mercaptoethanol. It is therefore a metal ion-dependent, alkaline, serine protease.R. Dhandapani and R.

While aberrant protein glycosylation is a recognized characteristic of human cancers, advances in glycoanalytics continue to discover new associations between glycoproteins and tumorigenesis. This glycomics‐centric study investigates a possible link between protein paucimannosylation, an under‐studied class of human N‐glycosylation [Man1‐3GlcNAc2Fuc0‐1], and cancer. The paucimannosidic glycans (PMGs) of 34 cancer cell lines and 133 tissue samples spanning 11 cancer types and matching non‐cancerous specimens are profiled from 467 published and unpublished PGC‐LC‐MS/MS N‐glycome datasets collected over a decade. PMGs, particularly Man2‐3GlcNAc2Fuc1, are prominent features of 29 cancer cell lines, but the PMG level varies dramatically across and within the cancer types (1.0–50.2%). Analyses of paired (tumor/non‐tumor) and stage‐stratified tissues demonstrate that PMGs are significantly enriched in tumor tissues from several cancer types including liver cancer (p = 0.0033) and colorectal cancer (p = 0.0017) and is elevated as a result of prostate cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia progression (p < 0.05). Surface expression of paucimannosidic epitopes is demonstrated on human glioblastoma cells using immunofluorescence while biosynthetic involvement of N‐acetyl‐β‐hexosaminidase is indicated by quantitative proteomics. This intriguing association between protein paucimannosylation and human cancers warrants further exploration to detail the biosynthesis, cellular location(s), protein carriers, and functions of paucimannosylation in tumorigenesis and metastasis. 相似文献

Intracellular delivery of nucleic acids is one of the critical steps in the transfections. Prior findings demonstrated various strategies including membrane fusion, endosomal escape for the efficient cytoplasmic delivery. In our continuing efforts to improve the nucleic acids transfections, we harnessed cell permeable properties of Tomatidine (T), a steroidal alkaloid abundantly found in green tomatoes for maximizing intracellular delivery of lipoplexes. We doped Tomatidine into liposomes of cationic lipid with amide linker (A) from our lipid library. Six liposomal formulations (AT) of Lipid A (1?mM) with varying concentrations of Tomatidine (0–1?mM) were prepared and evaluated for their transfection efficacies. Owing to its signature characteristic of cell membrane permeability, Tomatidine modulated endocytosis process, enhanced the intracellular delivery of the lipoplexes, and in turn increased the transfection efficacy of cationic liposomes. Our findings provide ‘proof of concept’ for enhancing transfections in gene delivery applications with Tomatidine in cationic liposomal formulations. These findings can be further applied in lipid mediated gene therapy and drug delivery applications. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has diverse and multiple roles throughout the body. This review focuses on the evidence
supporting its functions in the central nervous system, with a particular emphasis on its purported role in cerebral ischemia.
Numerous studies have documented that TGF-β1 levels are enhanced in the brain following cerebral ischemia. As evidence that
such an upregulation is beneficial, agonist studies have demonstrated that TGF-β1 reduces neuronal cell death and infarct
size following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), while conversely, antagonist studies have shown increased neuronal
cell death and infarct size after MCAO. These studies suggest that TGF-β1 has a neuroprotective role in cerebral ischemia.
Recent work with adenoviral-mediated overexpression of TGF-β1 in vivo in mice has further implicated a neuroprotective role
for TGF-β1 in cerebral ischemia, as evidenced by a reduction in neuronal cell death, infarct size, and neurological outcome.
Additionally, numerous in vitro studies have documented the neuroprotective ability of TGF-β1 in neurons from a variety of
species, including rats, mice, chicks, and humans. Of significant interest, TGF-β1 was shown to be protective against a wide
variety of death-inducing agents/insults, including hypoxia/ischemia, glutamate excitotoxicity, β-amyloid, oxidative damage,
and human immunodeficiency virus. The mechanism of TGF-β1-mediated neuroprotection remains to be resolved, but early evidence
suggests that TGF-β1 regulates the expression and ratio of apoptotic (Bad) and antiapoptotic proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-x1), creating an environment favorable for cell survival of death-inducing insults. Taken as a whole, these results suggest
that TGF-β1 is an important neuroprotective factor that can reduce damage from a wide-array of death-inducing agents/insults
in vitro, as well as exert protection of the brain during cerebral ischemia.
