As a part of the innate immune response, NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation leads to cleavage of caspase-1 and triggers secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and may also result in pyroptotic cell death. Inflammasome activation plays a crucial role in inflammatory conditions; aberrant activation of inflammasome contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Diethyl Maleate (DEM) is a promising antiinflammatory chemical to alleviate inflammasome activation. In this study, NLRP3 inflammasome was activated in N9 murine microglia via 1 µg/ml LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) for 4 h and 5 mM ATP (Adenosine 5′-triphosphate) for 1 h, respectively. We demonstrated that 1 h pretreatment of DEM attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglial cells. Besides, mitochondrial ROS decreased upon DEM pretreatment in inflammasome-induced cells. Likewise, it ameliorated pyroptotic cell death in microglia. DEM is a potent activator of Nrf2 transcription factor, the key regulator of the antioxidant response pathway. Nrf2 has been a significant target to decrease aberrant inflammasome activation through the antioxidant compounds, including DEM. Here, we have shown that DEM increased Nrf2 translocation to the nucleus, resulting in Nrf2 target gene expression in microglia. In conclusion, DEM is a promising protective agent against NLRP3 inflammasome activation.</p>","PeriodicalId":10890,"journal":{"name":"Cytotechnology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138530450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During last decade, there were consistent efforts made globally to develop new fish cell lines from different organs like brain, eye muscles, fin, gill, heart, kidney, liver, skin, spleen, swim bladder, testes, vertebra etc. This increased use and development of cell lines necessitated the establishment of cell line depositories to store/preserve them and assure their availability to the researchers. These depositories are a source of authenticated and characterized cell lines with set protocols for material transfer agreements, maintenance and shipping as well as logistics enabling cellular research. Hence, it is important to cryopreserve and maintain cell lines in depositories and make them available to the research community.

Most evident in the Vero E6 cells, 24 h post infection both Alpha and Delta predominated over Omicron in dual infections.

The effect of nests on cell viability and cytotoxicity analysis and the antiviral assay was studied, and the cytopathic effects of the virus were detected. The nest's viral content was identified. The impact of nest extracts on the protein synthesis of the virus was investigated. Also interaction with pUC18 plasmid DNA was investigated, to analyse the protective effects of the <i>Vespa crabro</i> nest extract againist to hydroxyl radical-mediated DNA damage. 50 µg/ml concentration of ethanol, acetone, and petroleum ether extracts of the nests reduced the cytopathic effects of baculovirus on Sf cells.

In this study, a novel kinetic model was constructed, correlating (1) cell growth, death, and lysis kinetics, (2) metabolism of major metabolites, and (3) CVA6 VLP production. To construct the model, two batches of a laboratory-scale 2 L bioreactor cell culture were prepared and various pH shift strategies were applied to examine the effect of pH shift. The proposed model described the experimental data under various conditions with high accuracy and quantified the effect of pH shift. Next, cell culture performance with various pH shift timings was predicted by the calibrated model. A trade-off relationship was found between product yield and quality. Consequently, multiple objective optimization was performed by integrating desirability methodology with model simulation. Finally, the optimal operating conditions that balanced product yield and quality were predicted. In general, the proposed model improved the process understanding and enabled in silico process development of a CVA6 VLP vaccine.","PeriodicalId":10890,"journal":{"name":"Cytotechnology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
