Soluble expression of recombinant coagulation factor IX protein using .

Hemophilia B is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by factor IX (FIX) deficiency. Generation of recombinant FIX (rFIX) is required for detecting a Hemophilia B indicator, anti-FIX antibody. In this study, we described a method for producing recombinant FIX (rFIX) using .

Beneficial Effects of Fermentation of Red Chili Pepper Using . RPG-HL-0136 in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice.

Red chili pepper is a beneficial natural spicy food that has antiobesity and antitype II diabetes effects, but it is not conducive to in-depth research as a dietary strategy to treat obesity. This study aims to investigate the beneficial effects of red chili pepper, fermented with a novel RPG-HL-0136. LC-MS/MS analysis is conducted to detect the content of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, and no significant difference is observed between the nonfermented red chili pepper (NFP) (W/W) and the prepared RPG-HL-0136fermented chili mixture (LFP).

The Risk of Gastrointestinal Cancer on Daily Intake of Low-Dose BaP in C57BL/6 for 60 Days.

Background: Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is a carcinogenic compound in contaminated foodstuffs. The effect of oral intake of the environmental carcinogen BaP under low doses and frequent exposure on a digestive system has not been thoroughly verified.

Methods: In this regard, this study was conducted to prove the toxicity effects of BaP on the stomach and colon tissue after exposure to C57BL/6 mouse (3 and 6 µg/kg) following daily oral administration for 60 days.

Mammalian ste20-like kinase and SAV1 promote 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation by activation of PPARγ.

The mammalian ste20 kinase (MST) signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of apoptosis and cell cycle control. We sought to understand the role of MST2 kinase and Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1), a scaffolding protein that functions in the MST pathway, in adipocyte differentiation. MST2 and MST1 stimulated the binding of SAV1 to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a transcription factor that plays a key role in adipogenesis.

Phosphorylation of SAV1 by mammalian ste20-like kinase promotes cell death.

The mammalian ste20-like kinase (MST) pathway is important in the regulation of apoptosis and cell cycle and emerges as a novel tumor suppressor pathway. MST-induced phosphorylation of Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1), which is a scaffold protein, has not been evaluated in detail. We performed a mass spectrometric analysis of the SAV1 protein that was co-expressed with MST2.
