Ovalbumin (Oval)-ribose glycation induced by vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) was studied. The protein conformational changes based on fluorescence, ultraviolet and circular dichroism spectra were evident with the increase in VFD time. The glycated sites and the average degree of substitution per peptide molecule (DSP) were determined using LC-HRMS. Lysine was shown to be the sole glycated site. Two glycated sites and the minimum DSP values were found during the first 6 h of VFD and increased to nine and the maximum DSP values after 48 h of VFD. The glycated sites located on the protein surface were mostly more active than those in the folded or helical regions, and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic environment could also influence DSP values. This study gave relationships between VFD time and the conformational structure and glycated sites of VFD-treated Oval-ribose system, providing a theoretical basis for VFD technique-based protein food and drug industries.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been linked to changes in DNA methylation levels, which can, in turn, alter transcriptional activity. However, most studies for epigenome-wide associations between T2D and DNA methylation comes from cross-sectional design. Few large-scale investigations have explored these associations longitudinally over multiple time-points.

Purpose: Describe aims, methods, characteristics of donors, donor corneas and recipients, and potential impact of the Diabetes Endothelial Keratoplasty Study (DEKS).

Methods: The DEKS is a randomized, clinical trial to assess graft success and endothelial cell density (ECD) 1 year after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using corneas from donors with versus without diabetes in a 1:2 minimization assignment. Diabetes severity in the donor is assessed by medical history, postmortem HbA1c, and donor skin advanced glycation end-products and oxidation markers.

Aim: To achieve glucose-activated transcriptional regulation of insulin analogue in skeletal muscle of T1D mice, thereby controlling blood glucose levels and preventing or mitigating diabetes-related complications.

Materials And Methods: We developed the GANIT (Glucose-Activated NFAT-regulated INSA-F Transcription) system, an innovative platform building upon the previously established intramuscular plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery and expression system. In the GANIT system, skeletal muscle cells are genetically engineered to endogenously produce the insulin analogue INSA-F (Insulin Aspart with Furin cleavage sites).
