Exploring the versatility of miRNA-128: a comprehensive review on its role as a biomarker and therapeutic target in clinical pathways.

Mol Biol Rep

July 2024

Department of Pharmacology, L.J. Institute of Pharmacy, LJ University, SG Highway, Sanand Cross-Road, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 382210, India.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/ miRs) are short, noncoding RNAs, usually consisting of 18 to 24 nucleotides, that control gene expression after the process of transcription and have crucial roles in several clinical processes. This article seeks to provide an in-depth review and evaluation of the many activities of miR-128, accentuating its potential as a versatile biomarker and target for therapy; The circulating miR-128 has garnered interest because of its substantial influence on gene regulation and its simplicity in extraction. Several miRNAs, such as miR-128, have been extracted from circulating blood cells, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma/serum.

Drug discovery is a challenging process, with many compounds failing to progress due to unmet pharmacokinetic criteria. Lipophilicity is an important physicochemical parameter that affects various pharmacokinetic processes, including absorption, metabolism, and excretion. This study evaluated the lipophilic properties of a library of ipsapirone derivatives that were previously synthesized to affect dopamine and serotonin receptors.

Numerical Analysis of Compound Biochemical Calcium Oscillations Process in Hepatocyte Cells.

Adv Biol (Weinh)

April 2024

Centre for Environmental Mathematics, Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy, University of Exeter, Cornwall, TR10 9FE, UK.

The hepatocyte cells regulate the wide range of liver function by moderating cellular activities such as lipid, protein metabolism, carbohydrate, and interact with other cells for proliferation and maintenance. In hepatocyte cells, the concentration of calcium uptake is quite extensive from various agonists such as active subunit, active phospholipase C, free calcium in the cytosol, and endoplasmic reticulum. The overproduction and degradation of calcium signals can cause homeostasis, liver inflammation, and liver diseases.

Ca signaling is an essential function of neurons to control synaptic activity, memory formation, fertilization, proliferation, etc. Protein and voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) maintain an adequate level of calcium concentration ([Ca]). An alteration in [Ca] leads to the death of the neurons that start the primary symptoms of the disease.

The main objective of the study is the estimation of elemental impurities in selected packaged commercial fruit juices and fresh fruit juices available in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Estimation of seventeen samples (9 commercial fruit juices and 8 fresh fruit juices) was carried out for elemental impurities which include lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, methyl mercury, nickel, chromium, tin, copper, and zinc. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) with microwave-assisted sample digestion was used to determine the element content of samples.

Estimation of time since death using cardiac troponin I in case of death due to asphyxia and cardiotoxicity of acebutolol.

Forensic Sci Med Pathol

September 2024

Centre of Excellence in Macromolecules & Nanotechnology, LJ University, Ahmedabad, 382210, Gujarat, India.

The objective of this study was to investigate the degradation pattern of cardiac troponin I in rats in vivo, and to determine whether the pattern was dependent on the cause of death, for the purpose of estimating the postmortem interval. The rats were categorized into three distinct groups depending on the factors leading to their demise: the control group, the group experiencing acebutolol-induced cardiotoxicity, and the group affected by asphyxia. The analysis encompassed the isolation and segregation of the protein, subsequently employing Western blotting as a means of visualizing the results.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) gained tremendous growth and are rapidly becoming popular in various fields of prediction due to their potential abilities, accuracy, and speed. Machine learning algorithms employ historical data to analyze or predict information using patterns or trends. AI and ML were most employed in chromatographic predictions and particularly attractive options for liquid chromatography method development, as they can help achieve desired results faster, more accurately, and more efficiently.

Studies on the anticancer effects of lanthanum strontium manganese oxide (LSMO) nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated hyperthermia at cellular and molecular levels are scarce. LSMO NPs conjugated with folic acid (Fol-LSMO NPs) were synthesized, followed by doxorubicin-loading (DoxFol-LSMO NPs), and their effects on breast cancer cells were investigated. Hyperthermia (45°C) and combination treatments exhibited the highest (∼95%) anticancer activity with increased oxidative stress.

Nano-vaccination Strategies: Applications and Challenges for Intranasal Immunization.

Curr Pharm Biotechnol

June 2023

Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, LJ Institute of Pharmacy, LJ University, Sarkhej, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 382210, India.

The nasal route, a subgroup of mucosal delivery systems, constitutes a lucrative and encouraging substitute for administering drugs and vaccines. Over the years, a lot of research has been done in this area, and scientists have successfully explored this pathway using novel formulations to combat several infections. This review article aims to address the pathways of mucosal immunization, the dominance of the nasal route over other mucosal routes for immunization, and the mechanism of generation of immunogenic response via nasal route and nanotechnology-based approaches for intranasal vaccination.
