Cisplatin resistance-related transcriptome and methylome integration identifies as a novel prognostic biomarker in small cell lung cancer.

Platinum-based chemo-resistance is the major issue for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The integrative analysis of multi-omics data is a reliable approach for discovering novel biomarkers associated with chemo-resistance. Here, multi-omics integrative analysis and Cox regression found that higher expression of was associated with poorer survival of SCLC patients who received chemotherapy.

Genome wide transcriptome analysis provides bases on hepatic lipid metabolism disorder affected by increased dietary grain ratio in fattening lambs.

Background: The liver is a principal metabolic organ and has a major role in regulating lipid metabolism. With the development of rapidly fattening livestock in the modern breeding industry, the incidence of hepatic steatosis and accumulation in animals was significantly increased. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for hepatic lipid metabolic disturbances in a high concentrate diet remain unclear.

Proteomics Analysis Revealed Smad3 as a Potential Target of the Synergistic Antitumor Activity of Disulfiram and Cisplatin in Ovarian Cancer.

Introduction: Among gynecological cancers, ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is commonly used for the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, the clinical efficacy of cisplatin in ovarian cancer is limited due to the development of chemo-resistance during treatment.

Novel exopolysaccharide derived from probiotic TCP102 strain with immune-enhancing and anticancer activities.

Probiotics are gaining attention due to their functions of regulating the intestinal barrier and promoting human health. The production of exopolysaccharide (EPS) is one of the important factors for probiotics to exert beneficial properties. This study aimed to screen exopolysaccharides-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and evaluate the probiotic potential.

Exopolysaccharides from Lactobacillus kiferi as adjuvant enhanced the immuno-protective against Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Exopolysaccharides from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have gained more attention due to their health benefits. Most research on LAB EPS focuses on antitumor and antioxidant activities. To our knowledge, the immunoadjuvant activity of LAB EPS has not been thoroughly studied.

Protective effect of triterpenes of Ganoderma lucidum on lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory responses and acute liver injury.

Ganoderma lucidum is a popular medicinal mushroom, which has been used as therapeutic for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Although G. lucidum showed strong protective effects in prevention or treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases, the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory properties of triterpenes of G.

Exopolysaccharides from TCP016 Attenuate LPS- and d-GalN-Induced Liver Injury by Modulating the Gut Microbiota.

Liver diseases alter the gut microbiota, but several lactic acid bacteria can reduce the degree of liver damage. The present study investigated whether TCP016 reduces the degree of liver damage by modifying the gut microbiota via its exopolysaccharides (EPSs). First, it was illustrated that the main EPS (EPS016; molecular weight = 8.

Naturally occurring lactic Acid bacteria isolated from tomato pomace silage.

Silage making has become a significant method of forage conservation worldwide. To determine how tomato pomace (TP) may be used effectively as animal feed, it was ensilaged for 90 days and microbiology counts, fermentation characteristics and chemical composition of tomato pomace silage (TPS) were evaluated at the 30th, 60th, and 90th days, respectively. In addition, 103 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from TPS.
