Preparation of a poly (gamma-glutamic acid)-cisplatin conjugate was introduced and its in vitro antitumor effect was investigated. Poly (gamma-glutamic acids) was obtained by using fermentation methods. The hydrolyzed small molecular weight of poly (gamma-glutamic acids) was prepared by acid hydrolysis. The interaction between poly (gamma-glutamic acids) -cisplatin conjugate (PGA-CDDP) and DNA was investigated by PCR model. MTT assay was used to investigate the in vitro anticancer activity of the conjugate. Apoptosis assay of the conjugate was investigated by FCM assay and the in vivo toxicity was also proceeded. The results showed that the poly (gamma-glutamic acids) -cisplatin conjugate was obtained successfully and its yield is 10% - 12%. It has obvious antitumor effects on human liver tumor BEL7404 cells, human lung tumor H446 cells and human colon tumor RKO cells. At the same time, it also has apoptosis effects on the three kinds of tumor cell lines. The in vivo toxicity of PGA-CDDP was examined in normal mice and the results showed that the in vivo toxicity of this conjugate was significantly lower than that of free CDDP. In conclusion, the poly (gamma-glutamic acids) -cisplatin conjuate could be used as a potential clinic antitumor drug. The poly (gamma-glutamic acids) obtained by fermentation can be used as a valuable drug carrier system.

The presented work discusses the highly efficient esterification of poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) with alkyl halides at room temperature. The esterification reaction was completed within 3 h, and the prepared γ-PGA esters were obtained with excellent yields (98.6%) when 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) was used as a promoter.

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a natural polymer whose molecular weight and viscosity are critical for its application in various fields. However, research on super-high-molecular-weight or -viscosity γ-PGA is limited. In this study, the gene in WX-02 was knocked out using homologous recombination, and the batch fermentation performances of the recombinant strain WX-ΔpgdS were compared to those of WX-02.

: To explore the relationship between the stability of poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) dispersion systems with γ-PGA of different molecular weights (MWs) and concentrations and type I collagen mineralization. : γ-PGA was used as a noncollagenous protein (NCP) analogue to regulate the stability of supersaturated γ-PGA-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PGA-ACP) solutions by changing the γ-PGA MW (2, 10, 100, 200 and 500 kDa) and concentration (400, 500 and 600 μg mL). Then, the optical density (OD) at 72 h was measured to determine the PGA-ACP solution stability.

Senescence and osteogenic differentiation potential loss limited bone nonunion treatment effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). MiR-100-5p/Lysine(K)-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) can inhibit osteogenesis, but their effects on bone union remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of miR-100-5p/KDM6B on osteogenic differentiation and bone defects.

Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is widely used in the field of biomedicine, food, agriculture, and ecological remediation. For the biosynthesis of γ-PGA, the pigments and remaining glutamate are two big problems that impede γ-PGA production by fermentation, and a trade-off between the decolorization rate and γ-PGA recovery rate during the purification process was found. The optimized static activated carbon adsorption conditions for treating the 2-times diluted cell-free supernatant (i.
