Due to their distinctive electrical and optical characteristics, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have recently demonstrated intriguing medical and military uses. In the event that they come into touch with a biological system, little is known about their biocompatibility. Metallic nanoparticles have been successfully utilized for a kind of biological applications. A drug delivery system known as Au – PEG – PAMAM – DOX was produced by conjugating the dendrimer with the anti-cancer chemical doxorubicin (DOX) via an amide bond. The amount of DOX released from Au – PEG – PAMAM – DOX at a natural pH was negligible, but this amount significantly increased in an environment with a weak acidic milieu, according to studies on the release of medicines from acellular sources. A research into the intracellular release of the medication was carried out with the assistance of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Recently conjugation to the nanosystem, in vitro viability experiments revealed an increase in the associated DOX cytotoxicity that could not be attributable to carrier components. This indicates that the effectiveness of the DOX was increased. In light of this, it has been hypothesized that the newly created pH-triggered multifunctional Au NPs- DOX nanoparticle system could pave the way for a viable platform for the intracellular delivery of a range of anticancer medicines.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of (recombinant fusion protein, ORF3 of genotype 1 HEV) on the expression levels of cytokine or chemokine genes in colon cancer cells (SW480) using a quantitative assay of “SYBR green\" real-time PCR. An ORF3 protein expression system (Orf3-GFP plasmid) was synthesized in the company of GenScript (USA) and used as an expression vector, SW480 cells were infected by (Orf3-GFP plasmid) or GFP- control vector. Result of this study was approved after assessing the expression level of the ORF3 gene in ORF3 expressing cells and in control groups using ORF3 specific primer to ensure that the transfection was performed successfully, The expression levels of three genes (IFN-β, IL-6, and TNF-α) were estimated in ORF3-expressing cells using specific primers for all genes. In addition, the role of HEV Orf3 in upregulating RANTES expression levels was revealed. In conclusion: In SW480 cells, this study found that the ORF3 protein of genotype 1 HEV is capable of regulating the expression of multiple immune response genes including Interferon- β (IFN-β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) which may enhance viral replication and pathogenicity.","PeriodicalId":176903,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine and Chemical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127241599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
