A Small Intron Of Drosophila Gamma Carboxylase, Not Predictable In Silico For Mammalian Splicing Machinery, Is Spliced Improperly In Human Cells, Solmaz Moniri Javadhesari, Alireza Zomorodipour, Spideh Valimehr Jan 2015

A Small Intron Of Drosophila Gamma Carboxylase, Not Predictable In Silico For Mammalian Splicing Machinery, Is Spliced Improperly In Human Cells, Solmaz Moniri Javadhesari, Alireza Zomorodipour, Spideh Valimehr

Turkish Journal of Biology

The splicing of two small introns of 58 and 67 nucleotides (nts) of the Drosophila gamma carboxylase (DγC) in cultured human cells was examined. The two introns are below the minimum size, which was proposed as a requirement for an intron to be spliced in human cells. None of the well-known software examined was able to provide a proper prediction for the DγC intron 1 in a mammalian host. Our in vivo experiments recognized only donor splice sites (not the acceptor site) of the DγC intron 1 by the mammalian cell, which, together with a new splicing acceptor site, generated …

Turkish Journal of Biology

Machilus thunbergii Sieb. and Zucc. (Lauraceae) is a medicinal plant used to treat edema and pain in China and Taiwan. The anti-inflammatory effects of M. thunbergii were not clear. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of M. thunbergii extract in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The cells were pretreated with various doses (12.5 μg/mL-100 μg/mL) of M. thunbergii extract and activated with LPS. We found that 25 μg/mL M. thunbergii extract inhibited nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, as well as levels of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor …

Turkish Journal of Biology

The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors purvalanol and roscovitine are therapeutic agents that control cell proliferation through regulating cell-cycle machinery. They also affect polyamine (PA) metabolism, which is activated in malignant tissues. Therefore, PA catabolism became a remarkable target in cancer therapies. Induction of the PA catabolic enzyme spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) is under the control of transcription factors such as NF?B and PPARγ. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of CDK inhibitors in combination with PAs in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. In order to understand the involvement of PA catabolic enzyme SSAT in this process we …

Development Of Therapeutic Proteins: Advances And Challenges, Muhammad Sajid Hamid Akash, Kanwal Rehman, Muhammad Tariq, Shuqing Chen

Turkish Journal of Biology

Therapeutic proteins have shown to be effective against a variety of diseases. Pharmaceutical companies are progressively focusing on research using proteins in search of novel effective therapeutics. The significant attention by researchers has resulted in considerable advances in the production and usage of therapeutic proteins in recent years. In the current study we focused on the understanding of therapeutic proteins and their impact on the human health care system. Advancements in the field of biotechnology have increased and facilitated the production of therapeutically significant proteins to combat various fatal diseases. Although protein-based therapeutics have taken center stage in drug discovery …

Changes In Gene Expression In Sirt3 Knockout Liver Cells, Randa Tao, Jamie Leclerc, Kübra Yildiz, Seong-Hoon Park, Barbara Jung, David Gius, Özkan Özden

Turkish Journal of Biology

The sirtuin (SIRT) gene family is reported to regulate critical intracellular processes from aging to cellular metabolism and repair. SIRT3 knockout (SIRT3-/-) mice develop receptor positive mammary tumors starting at 13 months and SIRT3 expression is decreased in human breast cancer samples as well as several other diseases. It is established that carcinogenesis results from the accumulation of multiple aberrant genetic events including the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes. To determine the potential early genomic events that may play a role in the tumor-permissive phenotype observed in SIRT3-/- cells, we compared gene expression profile in SIRT3-/- and …


Immobilized Periphytic Cyanobacteria For Removal Of Nitrogenous Compounds And Phosphorus From Shrimp Farm Wastewater, Sanjoy Banerjee, Helena Khatoon, Mohamed Shariff, Fatimah Yusoff Jan 2015

Immobilized Periphytic Cyanobacteria For Removal Of Nitrogenous Compounds And Phosphorus From Shrimp Farm Wastewater, Sanjoy Banerjee, Helena Khatoon, Mohamed Shariff, Fatimah Yusoff

Turkish Journal of Biology

Cyanobacteria can be used to remove nitrogenous compounds from wastewater, but a major bottleneck in the process is the separation of cyanobacterial biomass from the treated water discharge, which may cause eutrophication. The current study assessed the suitability of three periphytic cyanobacteria (Geitlerinema sp., Gloeotrichia sp., and Lyngbya sp.) isolated from shrimp ponds. These cyanobacteria were immobilized by self-adhesion to polyvinyl chloride sheets, forming mats, and were screened for their efficacy to reduce nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus. Among the three isolates, Geitlerinema sp. showed the highest reduction rate (98%) and was further tested using shrimp pond wastewater. The results showed …

Turkish Journal of Biology

Secondary dental caries are one of the major reasons for restoration replacements. Incorporating antimicrobial properties into dental materials would limit the initiation and progression of dental caries. In the current study, dental composites having 1%, 5%, and 10% (w/w) sodium pentaborate pentahydrate were prepared and analyzed for their mechanical properties, degree of monomer conversion (DC) rate, antibacterial effects against Streptococcus mutans, and biocompatibility with human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Incorporation of boron into the composites significantly decreased flexural strength and DC in a dose-dependent manner, but the value for 1% boron-containing composite still remained within acceptable levels. Compressive strength …
