The present study aimed to investigate the purified protein from the epidermal mucus of marine catfish Tachysurus dussumieri on the human colon cancer cell line. The bioactive protein was purified with the Anion exchange chromatography and the collected fractions were then tested to assess cell viability in HT 29 cells through the MTT assay. The most responding active purified protein fraction (PPF III) was characterized with the MALDI-TOF/MS it shared a similar homology and sequence with 90% of antimicrobial peptides from external secretions of amphibians. Typical morphological changes of apoptotic cells, including cell shrinkage and detachment, DNA damage, and nuclear condensation were observed after the treatment of bioactive protein. PPF III triggered ROS, increasing the LDH activity, disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, and upregulation of Cleaved caspase 3/9, Cytochrome-c, Bax, and downregulation of Bcl-2 protein and gene expression on HT 29 cells.

Background: The aberrant expression of α defensin 5 (DEFA5) protein in colonic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) underlies the distinct pathogenesis of Crohn's colitis (CC). It can serve as a biomarker for differentiating CC from Ulcerative colitis (UC), particularly in Indeterminate colitis (IC) cases into UC and CC. We evaluated the specificity of commercially available anti-DEFA5 antibodies, emphasizing the need to further validate their appropriateness for a given application and highlighting the necessity for novel antibodies.

Directly probing the heterogeneous conformations of intracellular proteins within their native cellular environment remains a significant challenge in mass spectrometry (MS). Here, we establish an in-cell MS and ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) strategy that directly ejects proteins from living cells into a mass spectrometer, followed by 193 nm UVPD for structural analysis. Applying this approach to calmodulin (CaM), we reveal that it adopts more extended conformations within living cells compared with purified samples , highlighting the unique influence of intracellular environments on protein folding.

As an important member of the Siglec family, SIGLEC-15 plays an important role in osteoclast differentiation, bone remodeling, and tumor immune evasion. In the tumor microenvironment, SIGLEC-15 functions independently of the B7-H1/PD-1 pathway. In this study, the SIGLEC-15 fusion protein (SIGLEC-15-Fc) was successfully expressed and purified using a eukaryotic expression system.

Chicken surfactant protein A1 (cSP-A1) is a soluble C-type lectin found primarily in chicken lungs. Its function and other potential bioactivities are unclear. This study aimed to express, purify, and identify recombinant cSP-A1 (RcSP-A1), investigate its effects on chicken macrophage HD11 cells, and evaluate its ability to regulate the LPS-induced inflammatory response.
