Mammalian cells take up nanoparticles (NPs) and some NPs increase ROS. We use imaging and measure ROS in parallel to evaluate NP-cell interactions with type I-like alveolar epithelial cells exposed to NPs at 1.2 µg/cm(2) . Titanium dioxide (Ti0(2)), gold (Au), silver (Ag), and manganese (Mn) were internalized by R3-1 cells; copper (Cu) NPs were observed at the cell surface only. TiO(2) and Au did not increase cell death but Mn and Cu did, with surviving cells recovering after initial Cu exposure. Ag NPs caused 80% of R3-1 cells to lift off the slides within one hour. Amplex Red was used to report H(2)O(2) production after exposure to 0.4 µg/cm(2) TiO(2), Au, Cu, Mn and Ag. TiO(2), Au, and Ag caused no significant increase in H(2)O(2) while Cu and Mn increased H(2)O(2). NPs that give up electrons, increase ROS production and cause cell death in R3-1 cells.

The balance of rumen degradable protein and readily available carbohydrate in sheep rations on fermentability.

Objective: Protein and carbohydrates are substances needed by ruminants, especially sheep. Providing protein and carbohydrates must pay attention to their degradation. In addition, balancing nutrients to meet the nutritional needs of rumen microbes is very important because the unbalanced availability of rumen degradable protein (RDP) and readily available carbohydrate (RAC) at one time can cause suboptimal microbial protein synthesis efficiency.

Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important physiologic process that determines the outcome of lung tissue healing after injury. Stimuli and molecular cascades inducing EMT lead to up-regulation of the mesenchymal-specific genes in the alveolar epithelial cells and to down-regulation of the genes coding for epithelial markers. Alveolar epithelial cell lines are commonly used as in vitro models to study processes occurring in the lung tissue.

The rph gene cluster for prodigiosin biosynthesis has been identified in Streptomyces griseoviridis 2464-S5, which produces cyclic prodigiosin derivatives including roseophilin (2), prodigiosin R1 (3) and prodigiosin R2 (4). A new cyclic prodigiosin, prodigiosin R3 (1), was produced by the redG redP double disruptant of Streptomyces coelicolor M511 expressing four cyclization gene candidates (rphG, rphG2, rphG3 and rphG4) in the rph cluster. The same compound was isolated from Streptomyces griseoviridis 2464-S5.

The fate of the corpus luteum, a transient endocrine gland formed and degraded during an oestrous cycle, is decided by various physiological factors, such as luteinizing hormone (LH). As a stimulator of progesterone, LH is known to maintain corpus luteum functional and structural integrity by inhibiting apoptosis, a programmed cell death. Therefore, we aim to investigate its action during the mid-luteal phase hypothesized that LH suppresses the death mechanism of bovine luteal steroidogenic cells (LSC) by analysing the expression of proteins involved.

Epimutation by DNA Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), an epigenetic regulator enzyme, may lead to the proliferation of breast cancer. In this report, 168,686 natural products from the PubChem database were screened and modified by in silico method to acquire the potential inhibitor of DNMT1. The initial screening of PubChem natural products using Lipinski's and Veber's rules of three and toxic properties have resulted in 2601 fragment candidates.
