Putative stem cells have been isolated from various tissue fluids such as synovial fluid, amniotic fluid, menstrual blood, etc. Recently the presence of nestin positive putative mammary stem cells has been reported in human breast milk. However, it is not clear whether they demonstrate multipotent nature. Since human breast milk is a non-invasive source of mammary stem cells, we were interested in examining the nature of these stem cells. In this pursuit, we could succeed in isolating and expanding a mesenchymal stem cell-like population from human breast milk. These cultured cells were examined by immunofluorescent labeling and found positive for mesenchymal stem cell surface markers CD44, CD29, SCA-1 and negative for CD33, CD34, CD45, CD73 confirming their identity as mesenchymal stem cells. Cytoskeletal protein marker analysis revealed that these cells expressed mesenchymal stem cells markers, namely, nestin, vimentin, smooth muscle actin and also manifests presence of E-Cadherin, an epithelial to mesenchymal transition marker in their early passages. Further we tested the multipotent differentiation potential of these cells and found that they can differentiate into adipogenic, chondrogenic and oesteogenic lineage under the influence of specific differentiation cocktails. This means that these mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human breast milk could potentially be “reprogrammed” to form many types of human tissues. The presence of multipotent stem cells in human milk suggests that breast milk could be an alternative source of stem cells for autologous stem cell therapy although the significance of these cells needs to be determined. 相似文献

Cassia siamea is a nonedible legume belonging to Fabaceae. The seed of C. siamea contains ~16% of protein. The study reports the biochemical characterization of purified novel serine protease inhibitor from seeds of C. siamea, aimed with assessing the anti-inflammatory activity. The seed extract was subjected to ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC)-anion exchange chromatography and affinity-chromatography to obtain a relative pure protease inhibitor. Thirty-fivefold purification with the specific activity of 250 U/mg of trypsin inhibitory unit was obtained. The characterization of protease inhibitor for optimum temperature, pH, and metal ions were measured using N-α-benzoyl-DL-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) assay and casein zymogram. The C. siamea trypsin inhibitor (CsTI) has a relative molecular mass of 25.540 kDa. Purified CsTI and Dolichos biflorus were tested for anti-inflammatory efficacy against A549 and RAW264.7 cell lines. The inhibitory activity of both purified inhibitors are comparable and are potent toward anti-inflammatory activity. The purified inhibitor shows to be a promising candidate as anti-inflammatory agent by targeting the serine proteases. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation. They are produced through an enzyme-guided process called dicing and have an asymmetrical structure with two nucleotide overhangs at the 3′ ends. Artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs or amiRs) are designed to mimic the structure of miRNAs and can be used to silence specific genes of interest. Traditionally, amiRNAs are designed based on an endogenous miRNA precursor with certain mismatches at specific positions to increase their efficiency. In this study, the authors modified the highly expressed miR168a in Arabidopsis thaliana by replacing the single miR168 stem-loop/duplex with tandem asymmetrical amiRNA duplexes that follow the statistical rules of miRNA secondary structures. These tandem amiRNA duplexes, called “two-hit” amiRNAs, were shown to have a higher efficiency in silencing GFP and endogenous PDS reporter genes compared to traditional “one-hit” amiRNAs. The authors also demonstrated the effectiveness of “two-hit” amiRNAs in silencing genes involved in miRNA, tasiRNA, and hormone signalling pathways, individually or in families. Importantly, “two-hit” amiRNAs were also able to over-express endogenous miRNAs for their functions. The authors compare “two-hit” amiRNA technology with CRISPR/Cas9 and provide a web-based amiRNA designer for easy design and wide application in plants and even animals. 相似文献

Recent evidence reveals that prolactin gene expression (PRL-GE) in mammotropes occurs in pulses, but the molecular process(es) underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. Earlier, we have identified an E-box (E-box133) in the rat PRL promoter that binds several circadian elements and is critical for this dynamic process. Preliminary analysis revealed a Pit-1 binding site (P2) located immediately adjacent to this E-box133 raising the possibility that some type of functional relationship may exist between these two promoter regions. In this study, using serum shocked GH3 cell culture system to synchronize PRL-GE activity, we determined that Pit-1 gene expression occurred in pulses with time phases similar to that for PRL. Interestingly, EMSA analysis not only confirmed Pit-1 binding to the P2 site, but also revealed an interaction with factor(s) binding to the adjacent E-box133 promoter element. Additionally, down-regulation of Pit-1 by siRNA reduced PRL levels during pulse periods. Thus, using multiple evidences, our results demonstrate clearly that the Pit-1 P2 site is necessary for PRL-GE elaboration. Furthermore, the proximity of this critical Pit-1 binding site (P2) and the E-box133 element coupled with the evidences of a site-to-site protein interactions suggest that the process of PRL-GE pulse activity might involve more dynamic and intricate cross-talks between promoter elements that may span some, or all, of the proximal region of the PRL promoter in driving its pulsatile expression. 相似文献

AbstractAgriculture crop residue burning is a serious issue in Northern India due to ineffective control policies. An epidemiological study has been done on school going children to evaluate the trends in their physiological parameters due to crop residue burning activity in the affected area. Total 600 children were recruited and continuously inspected for three years at three different sites. Season wise, the level of fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) was higher in rice crop residue burning seasons than in wheat crop residue burning seasons. As per dose–response relationship, maximum degradation was observed in FVC (?7.62%) and PEF (?6.23%) parameters from their baseline values due to burning activities. With adjustment of socioeconomic, anthropometric parameters of selected subjects and meteorological parameters in multivariate mixed effect model, prediction equations have been purposed to observe the future trends in physiological parameters of children. Based on Tiffenue index, an unrecoverable effect has been observed in lung parameters. Trends were alarming and may cause serious complications in early age of human subjects. 相似文献

Recent experiments have shown that GABAA receptor mediated inhibition in adult hippocampus is shunting rather than hyperpolarizing. Simulation studies of realistic
interneuron networks with strong shunting inhibition have been demonstrated to exhibit robust gamma band (20–80 Hz) synchrony
in the presence of heterogeneity in the intrinsic firing rates of individual neurons in the network. In order to begin to
understand how shunting can contribute to network synchrony in the presence of heterogeneity, we develop a general theoretical
framework using spike time response curves (STRC’s) to study patterns of synchrony in a simple network of two unidirectionally
coupled interneurons (UCI network) interacting through a shunting synapse in the presence of heterogeneity. We derive an approximate
discrete map to analyze the dynamics of synchronous states in the UCI network by taking into account the nonlinear contributions
of the higher order STRC terms. We show how the approximate discrete map can be used to successfully predict the domain of
synchronous 1:1 phase locked state in the UCI network. The discrete map also allows us to determine the conditions under which
the two interneurons can exhibit in-phase synchrony. We conclude by demonstrating how the information from the study of the
discrete map for the dynamics of the UCI network can give us valuable insight into the degree of synchrony in a larger feed-forward
network of heterogeneous interneurons. 相似文献
