Enhanced wedelolactone content in -raised genetically uniform under the influence of CuSO.

In the present study, we addressed the imperative for potent anticancer agents through , a medicinal plant abundant in the robust antihepatotoxic and antitumor compound wedelolactone. Hindrances in conventional propagation methods due to cross-pollination and habitat degradation prompted us to pioneer rapid multiplication using plant tissue culture. Optimal outcomes were attained employing Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (0.

Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulates Phenotypic and Metabolic Alteration of Microglia Cells in HFD-Associated Vascular Dementia Mice via TNF-α/Arg-1 Axis.

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), the activity of which is dictated by the composition of its regulatory subunit, is strongly related to the progression of neurodegenerative disease. The potential role of PP2A on the phenotypic transition of microglial cells under obese conditions is poorly explored. An understanding of the role of PP2A and identification of regulatory subunits contributing to microglial phenotypic transitions in obese condition may serve as a therapeutic target for obesity-associated neurodegeneration.

Restoration of PP2A levels in inflamed microglial cells: Important for neuroprotective M2 microglial viability.

PP2A, a trimeric Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase 2A highly expressed in brain, is a master regulator of cellular functions. Reduction in PP2A activity has been linked to progression of microglial mediated neuroinflammatory diseases. Inflammatory conditions are characterized by increased population of CD86 M1 cells and a therapeutic strategy to polarize microglial cells towards CD206 M2 cells is the need of hour.

Delineating the Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Erythropoietic Lineage-Implications for Radiation Biodosimetry.

The overall lethality/morbidity of ionizing radiation exposure involves multiple forms of inhibitory or cytotoxic effects that may manifest in different tissues with a varying dose and time response. One of the major systemic effects leading to lethality of radiation includes its suppressive effect on hematopoiesis, which could be observed even at doses as low as 1-2 Gy, whereas effects on gastrointestinal and nervous systems appear at relatively higher doses in the same order. This article reviews the effects of radiation on the three distinct stages of erythropoiesis-formation of erythroid progenitor cells, differentiation of erythroid precursor cells, and terminal maturation.
