Heat Shock Protein (HSPs) gene family members play fundamental roles in different environmental stress tolerances, protect the structure and function of cells, and perform a significant task in cellular homeostasis. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide identification, evolutionary relationship analysis and gene expression analysis of the HSP70, HSP90, and HSF gene families in Ruditapes philippinarum. We identified 83 RpHSP70, 6 RpHSP90, and 3 RpHSF genes in R. philippinarum. The structural characteristics, chromosomal localization, and the gene structure map were constructed to reveal the characteristics of protein structures. Furthermore, the expression profiling of transcriptome data showed the expression pattern of HSP70, HSP90 and HSF genes in Manila clam from different populations, and under high and low temperature stress. In addition, we performed protein-protein interaction network analysis between HSP70, HSP90, and HSF gene family which enabled us to recognize the regulatory relationship between the two HSP gene families and the HSF gene family. Furthermore, the predicted sub-cellular location revealed a diversified subcellular distribution of HSP70, HSP90, and HSF proteins, which may be directly or indirectly associated with functional diversification under heat stress condition.

With freshwater resources becoming scarce worldwide, mariculture is a promising avenue to sustain aquaculture development, especially by incorporating brackish and saline groundwater (GW) use into fish farming. A 75-day rearing trial was conducted to evaluate fish growth, immune response, overall health, and water quality of Chelon ramada cultured in brackish GW and fed on a basal diet (BD) augmented with rosemary oil (RO) or RO + zymogen forte™ (ZF) as an anti-flatulent. Five treatments were administrated in triplicate: T1: fish-fed BD without additives (control group); T2: fish-fed BD + 0.

Purpose: The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing in recent years, and monotherapy approaches are not sufficient alone in the treatment of breast cancer. In the combined therapy approach, combining two or three different agents in lower doses can mitigate the side effects on living cells and tissues caused by high doses of chemical agents used alone. ABT-263 (navitoclax), a clinically tested Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor, has shown limited success in clinical trials due to the development of resistance to monotherapy in breast cancer cells.

Cadmium (Cd), one of the toxic heavy metals, is of great importance for public health due to its use in many industrial areas. Propolis is a natural product with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties collected from plants by honey bees. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective role of propolis against the potential toxic effects of cadmium chloride in blood, liver and kidney tissues.

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved molecular chaperones with essential roles against biotic and abiotic stressors. A large set of co-chaperons comprising J-domain proteins (DnaJs) regulate the ATPase cycle of Hsp70s with Hsp90s, together constituting a dynamic and functionally versatile network for protein folding/unfolding and regulation. Marine bivalves could accumulate and tolerate paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), the well-noted neurotoxins generated during harmful algal blooms.
