Aqueous two-phase partitioning has been elaborated in order to improve the purification of alkaline phosphatase from calf intestine in larger scale. The laborious precipitation and centrifugation steps for the removal of the enzyme from the cell debris and from the bulk protein were replaced by this technique yielding a high recovery (88%) and a significant lower time requirement. For the preparation of 100.000 units (46 mg) of a homogeneous enzyme 2.0 kg of a system containing 200 g PEG 4000 and only 10 g dextran M 70 is necessary. Affinity partitioning in aqueous two-phase systems was used to screen 41 dyes for selecting a suitable ligand for the dye-ligand chromatography of the enzyme. In the case of alkaline phosphatase the results obtained by affinity partitioning coincide with the experimental requirements for the affinity chromatography of the enzyme. Procion Navy HE-R (Blue 171) exhibits a high affinity, selectivity and binding capacity for the enzyme compared with other dyes investigated. The purification procedure provided the same degree in purity (2200 U/mg) and yield (59%) if mucosa or chyme was applied as starting material. In the range of practical use the purified enzyme contains no detectable activities of DNAses (endonucleases) and DNA-nicking activities. The contamination with phosphodiesterase I (EC. 3.1.4.1.) is less than 0.01%.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common clinical bone disease that can cause a high incidence of non-stress fractures and is one of the main degenerative diseases that endangers the health and life of middle-aged and older women. The mechanism underlying the abnormal differentiation and function of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) remains to be elucidated. Cell proliferation and differentiation were determined using 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and Alizarin Red Staining.

Study of the interaction between alkaline phosphatase and biomacromolecule substrates.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a nonspecific phosphatase, and its interaction with substrates mainly depends on the recognition of phosphate groups on the substrate. Previous enzymatic research has focused mainly on the enzymatic reaction kinetics of the inorganic small molecule p-nitrophenol phosphate (pNPP) as a substrate, but its interaction with biomacromolecule substrates has not been reported. In current scientific research, ALP is often used for molecular cloning, such as removing the 5' termini of nucleic acids.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease characterized by hepatocyte steatosis, which excludes alcohol, drugs and other definite liver damage-related factors. It has been reported that OTUB1 serves a significant role in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of OTUB1 on regulating NAFLD.

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare neoplasm, with high mortality, originating in the bile ducts. Its incidence is higher in Eastern countries due to the endemic prevalence of liver parasites. Factors such as metabolic syndrome, smoking, and pro-inflammatory conditions are also linked to the disease.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of three levels of lipids in the diet on growth, metabolism, and intestinal and hepatic histopathology in discus fish (Symphysodon aequifasciatus). Fish were stocked in quadruplicate in aquarium (50L) and were fed experimental diets containing three levels (3%, 10%, and 14%) of dietary lipids (LP). At the end of the trial, no significant differences in growth performance were observed.
