Integrative Metabolomic and Lipidomic Profiling of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma for Characterization of Metabolites and Intact Lipid Species Related to the Metastatic Potential.

SQCC is a major type of NSCLC, which is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, and there were no reports regarding the prediction of metastatic potential of lung SQCC by metabolomic and lipidomic profiling. In this study, metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of lung SQCC were performed to predict its metastatic potential and to suggest potential therapeutic targets for the inhibition of lung SQCC metastasis. Human bronchial epithelial cells and four lung SQCC cell lines with different metastatic potentials were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and direct infusion-mass spectrometry.

Potentials of truffles in nutritional and medicinal applications: a review.

Truffles, the symbiotic hypogeous edible fungi, have been worldwide regarded as a great delicacy because of their unique flavor and high nutritional value. By identifying their bioactive components such as phenolics, terpenoids, polysaccharides, anandamide, fatty acids, and ergosterols, researchers have paid attention to their biological activities including antitumor, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. In addition, numerous factors have been investigating that can affect the quality and productivity of truffles to overcome their difficulty in culturing and preserving.

Phycobiliproteins Production Enhancement and Lipidomic Alteration by Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Culture.

This study aimed to improve the production of phycobiliproteins using TiO nanoparticles (NPs) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The growth characteristics of Synechocystis cells were not affected by TiO NPs treatment, but this treatment increased the chlorophyll content significantly by 62.

Effects of coronatine elicitation on growth and metabolic profiles of Lemna paucicostata culture.

In this study, the effects of coronatine treatment on the growth, comprehensive metabolic profiles, and productivity of bioactive compounds, including phenolics and phytosterols, in whole plant cultures of Lemna paucicostata were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with multivariate statistical analysis. To determine the optimal timing of coronatine elicitation, coronatine was added on days 0, 23, and 28 after inoculation. The total growth of L.
