Four groups of rats were conditioned as vehicle-treated control, BPA-treated (100 mg/kg b.w.), BPA + WG-ME (100 mg BPA/kg b.w. + 200 mg WG-ME/kg b.w.), and WG-ME (200 mg/kg b.w.) groups. The LC-MS study confirmed the presence of numerous bioactive components in WG-ME. ELISA, PAGE, real-time PCR, and immunohistostaining were executed to test the efficacy of WG-ME against BPA. WG-ME was shown to induce significant weight gain of the uterus and ovaries as well as improve the estrous cycle and antioxidant status. WG-ME effectively suppressed the mRNA expression of TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-B). This extract also increased the expression of the antiapoptotic factor BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) in the uterine tissue of rats administered BPA while impeding the abnormal expression of the tumor proteins p53, cylcin-D1, and BAX (BCL2-associated protein X). An enhanced steroidogenic event was supported by improved gonadotropins and reproductive hormone levels, feeble signaling of androgen receptors, and improved ovarian follicular growth with a distinct appearance of granulosa layer as well as better uterine histomorphology. The abundance of apigenin and catechin compounds in WG-ME may potentiate the above effects. The molecular interaction study predicted that apigenin inhibits TNF-α by interacting with its major site. Hence, WG-ME may exert its preventive efficacy in managing the functional imbalance of reproductive organs caused by BPA.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-024-04117-0.</p>","PeriodicalId":7067,"journal":{"name":"3 Biotech","volume":"14 12","pages":"310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11586330/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142724800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A library including 300 compounds, designated as <b>7S</b> (<b>1</b>-<b>300</b>), has been generated using a variety of aliphatic and aromatic amines. Ten compounds have been selected via in silico screening such as molecular properties, toxicity study, docking study and conventional synthesis for antimalarial evaluation against <i>P. falciparum</i> strains 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) and Dd2 (chloroquine-resistant). The docking results of compounds <b>7s258</b> and <b>7s5</b> revealed higher binding interaction with amino acids Leu46, Phe58, Phe116, Ala16 (-341.33 kcal/mol), Ser111, Ile112, Val45 Pro113, Leu119 (-335.16 kcal/mol) and Phe58, Ser111, Ile112, Phe116 (-354.47 kcal/mol), Phe58, Met55, Leu46, Leu164, Pro113 (-346.34 kcal/mol) against wild (1J3I) and quadruple mutant (1J3K) type of <i>Pf</i>-DHFR inhibitors.

Herein, Erg11p was engineered to extend the in vivo catalytic half-life and increase the turnover rate. Single mutations resulting in lower folding energy were selected, and mutant P201H had an ergosterol yield of 576.9 mg·L^-1. Through consensus design, single mutations resulting in higher sequence identity to homologs were tested and mutant K352L had an ergosterol yield of 677.9 mg·L^-1. The key residues for substrate binding were confirmed via alanine scanning mutagenesis and mutant F384A had an ergosterol yield of 657.8 mg·L^-1. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to investigate the contributions of pocket residues and eight residues were found to engage in weak interactions with lanosterol. Saturation mutagenesis was applied to these residues to enhance binding to lanosterol, and mutant F384E had an ergosterol yield of 733.8 mg·L^-1. Meanwhile, MD simulations were conducted to assess the impact of mutant F384E on enzyme activity. The results consistently showed that single point mutation F384E had the greatest effect, outperforming the combination mutations. Batch fermentation increased the ergosterol yield of mutant F384E to 3067.5 mg·L^-1, the highest reported to date.

RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and western blot were used to analyze the gene and protein expression in OSCC clinical samples and OSCC cell lines. The experiments have collectively demonstrated the downregulation of JARID2 mRNA and protein expression during OSCC metastasis. The cytoplasmic localization of JARID2 in OSCC tissues and cell lines were also observed. In addition, JARID2 was knocked down in HSC-3 cells by performing siRNA-mediated transfection which revealed an increase in the expression of mesenchymal markers, N-cadherin and vimentin, and a downregulation of epithelial marker E-cadherin. Moreover, silencing JARID2 significantly increased the metastatic features such as migration, invasion, and colony-formation ability in HSC-3 cells. Also, the knockdown significantly reduced the number of apoptotic cells, suggesting that JARID2 knockdown has critically promoted HSC-3 cell metastasis by enhancing the mesenchymal markers.
