The free radicals can causing many diseases including heart diseases, Alzheimer, inflammation and cancer. This research aimed to investigate the effect of bioactive peptides derived from Synechococcus sp. cultured for 21 days on antioxidant, anti-inflammation and anticancer activities. The Synechococcus sp. protein hydrolysate was prepared by trypsin digest and purified by ultrafiltration with molecular weight cut off membranes of 10, 5 and 3 kDa. The MW <3 kDa fraction showed the highest NO, ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 34.51±9.8 µg protein/mL, IC50 11.54±0.3 µg protein/mL and IC50 13.63±0.15 µg protein/mL, respectively. The F2 fraction from gel filtration chromatography showed the strongest NO and ABTS radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 7.68±0.64 µg protein/mL and 9.74±0.2 µg protein/mL, respectively. The F2 was purified by RP-HPLC to yield four fractions. The 30 – 40 min sub-fraction (F2-4) was selected for further analysis by mass spectroscopy. Five isolated peptides with amino acid sequences of AILQSYSAGKTK; 1,265.69 Da, ALNKTHLIQTK; 1,265.74 Da, LLVHAPVK; 875.55 Da, IPDAHPVK; 875.48 Da and VVVLRDGAVQQLGTPR; 1,706.97 Da were identified. The F2-4 had higher DPPH and NO radical scavenging activity compared to the synthetic peptide. Moreover, AILQSYSAGKTK had the highest ABTS radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, the F2 fraction protected oxidation-induced DNA damage in pBR322, pKS and pUC19 cells. F2 fraction was selected to study anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Anti-inflammatory effect, F2 fraction showed no cytotoxicity toward RAW264.7 macrophage cells. RT-PCR and qRT-PCR results showed that F2 reduced gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines iNOS, TNF-α, COX-1, COX-2 and IL-6. For anticancer activity, F2 fraction showed high anticancer activities in the human colon cancer cells (SW620) according to cytotoxic activity (MTT assay), with IC50 values of 106.58±21.46 µg protein/mL. The F2 fraction activated the apoptotic pathway in SW620 cells after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The highest activities of caspases 3, 8 and 9 were observed after treatment for 72 hours. These findings suggested that unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. may be used to develop for natural anti-inflammation and natural anticancer drugs.

Synthesis Of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate And Its Behaviour In Simulated Body Fluid, Bui X.V, Thang T.D

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The main goal of this study is to elaborate and evaluate the physicochemical properties of the synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) powder: an associate compound of hydroxyapatite (HA): Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP): Ca3(PO4)2. The new compound BCP has two advantages: high bioactivity (HA) and fast biodegradation (β-TCP). The obtained powder of BCP was prepared by the precipitate method. XRD analysis confirmed the synthetic material contained both HA and β-TCP crystalline phases. SEM images showed that the small particles of HA attached to bigger particles of β-TCP in the structure morphology of BCP. The in vitro experiment was carried out …

Spermatogenesis is the process by which mature functional spermatozoa are formed, and is initiated in the stem cell niche of the testes. During the post-meiotic stage of spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis, transition proteins facilitate the transformation of chromatin from a histone-based nucleosome structure to a protamine-based nucleosome structure. This study is aimed at analyzing genomic, transcript, and protein sequences of transition proteins in 13 sequenced Drosophila species. The Drosophila melanogaster spermatid specific transition protein-like protein (Tpl94D) was used as the reference sequence in this study. An extensive bioinformatics approach was employed in establishing the Tpl94D orthologs. We identified …
