Response of Male Reproductive System Against Ionizing Radiation and Available Radio-protective Agents: Cellular and Molecular Insight.

Background: The reproductive organ, housing spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), undergoes ongoing division impacted by the irradiation dosage and exposure duration. Within the male reproductive organ, germ stem cells (spermatogonia) and somatic cells (Sertoli and Leydig cells) are present. Lower doses of ionizing (>4-6 Gy) and non-ionizing radiation (radiofrequency and microwave range 900 MHz - 2.

Modulation of radiation-induced intestinal injury by radioprotective agents: a cellular and molecular perspectives.

The gastrointestinal (GI) system has rapidly proliferating and differentiating cells, which make it one of the most radiosensitive organs in the body. Exposure to high dose of ionising radiation (IR) during radiotherapy may generate a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) including radicals, cause some side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, pain, ulceration, mal-absorption etc. Irradiation disrupts GI system by damaging proliferating stem cells of the crypts that alters the histology and physiology of intestine.

An In Silico Approach for Identification of the Pathogenic Species, Helicobacter pylori and Its Relatives.

Helicobacter is an economically important genus within the phylum Proteobacteria and include many species which cause many diseases in humans. With the conventional methods, it is difficult to identify them easily due to the high genetic similarity among its species. In the present study, 361 16S rRNA (rrs) gene sequences belonging to 45 species of genus Helicobacter were analyzed.

Semiquinone fraction isolated from Bacillus sp. INM-1 protects hepatic tissues against γ-radiation induced toxicity.

Present study was focused on evaluation of a semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from radioresistant bacterium Bacillus sp. INM-1 for its ability against γ radiation induced oxidative stress in irradiated mice. Animals were divided into four group, i.

Radioprotection to small intestine of the mice against ionizing radiation by semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from Bacillus sp. INM-1.

Ionizing irradiation induces severe damage to the intestinal crypt cells which are responsible for renovation and maintenance of the intestinal cellular architecture. Therefore, protection of intestinal cells and tissue against lethal irradiation using a semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from radioresistant bacterium Bacillus sp. INM-1 is the prime focus of the present investigation.

A semiquinone glucoside derivative provides protection to male reproductive system of the mice against gamma radiation toxicity.

Present investigation was carried out to evaluate the radioprotective efficacy of a novel Semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD), isolated from Bacillus sp. INM-1, in the male reproductive system of BALB/c mice. Animals were administered 50 mg/kg b.

Induction of immunostimulatory cytokine genes expression in human PBMCs by a novel semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from a Bacillus sp. INM-1.

In the present study, a semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from a radioresistant bacterium Bacillus sp. INM-1 was evaluated for its immunostimulatory activities. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated by different doses (30-90 microg/ml) of SQGD for different time (3-12h) intervals at 37°C, and IL-12p40, IL-23p19, IL-10, RelA and c-Jun gene expression analysis was carried out by qRT-PCR method.

Antioxidative and radioprotective activities of semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) isolated from Bacillus sp. INM-1.

A semiquinone glucoside derivative (SQGD) was isolated from a radioresistant bacterium Bacillus sp. INM-1 and its antioxidant and radioprotective activities were evaluated using in vitro assays. Natural stable free radical properties of SQGD in solid as well as in solution form were estimated using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometry.
