Gene expression profile analysis unravelled the systems level association of renal cell carcinoma with diabetic nephropathy and Matrix-metalloproteinase-9 as a potential therapeutic target.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer share many common risk factors. However, the potential biological link that connects the two at the molecular level is still unclear. The experimental evidence suggests that several genes and their pathways may be involved in developing cancerous conditions associated with diabetes.

Evaluation of diosgenin content from eleven different Indian varieties of fenugreek and fenugreek leaf powder fortified bread.

The present study designed to establish the diosgenin profile from eleven different Indian varieties of fenugreek, and subsequently develop powder from the best stage and variety to prepare diosgenin fortified bread. The seeds, sprouts and leaves of different fenugreek varieties were analyzed for the diosgenin using HPLC. The content of phenolics and flavonoids also estimated and assessed for its antioxidant capacity using phosphomolybdate, DPPH and FRAP.

Atheroprotective effect of novel peptides from Porphyridium purpureum in RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line and its molecular docking study.

Objective: To explore the atherogenic foam cell prevention efficiency of two dipeptides purified from Porphyridium purpureum on RAW 264.7 cell line and to study its molecular interaction through molecular docking.

Result: P.

Differential expression of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes in callus culture in response to ammonium and potassium nitrate ratio in the culture medium.

Anthocyanins are major water-soluble and dynamic colouring plant pigment present in plant tissues with the high antioxidant properties. The role of ammonium and potassium nitrate in the culture medium on anthocyanin augmentation is probed thoroughly, but the mechanism of its biosynthesis continues to be unclear. Hence, the present study was undertaken to optimise nitrate ratio in the culture medium for anthocyanin augmentation and examination of its biosynthesis pathway in callus culture of .

Fermentation induced changes in bioactive properties of wine from Phyllanthus with respect to atherosclerosis.

Wine was prepared from three varieties of Phyllanthus viz., P. emblica (wild and cultivated) and P.

Inhibition of LDL oxidation and oxidized LDL-induced foam cell formation in RAW 264.7 cells show anti-atherogenic properties of a foliar methanol extract of Scoparia dulcis.

Background: Oxidation of low density lipoproteins and their further uptake by macrophages is known to result in the formation of foam cells, which are critical in the initiation of atherosclerosis through activation of inflammatory signalling cascades. Thus, powerful dietary antioxidants are receiving attention for the reversal of such pathological states.

Materials And Methods: Extracts of Scoparia dulcis have been used as tea and health drinks with various health promoting effects.

Silicon-induced changes in antifungal phenolic acids, flavonoids, and key phenylpropanoid pathway genes during the interaction between miniature roses and the biotrophic pathogen Podosphaera pannosa.

Application of 3.6 mm silicon (Si+) to the rose (Rosa hybrida) cultivar Smart increased the concentration of antimicrobial phenolic acids and flavonoids in response to infection by rose powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa). Simultaneously, the expression of genes coding for key enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway (phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, and chalcone synthase) was up-regulated.
