Purification of a phospholipase A2 from Daboia russelii siamensis venom with anticancer effects

چکیده
Venom phospholipases A2 (PLA(2)) are associated with neurotoxic, myotoxic, cardiotoxic, platelet aggregation, and edema activities. A PLA(2) (Drs-PLA(2)) was purified from Daboia russelii siamensis venom by a two-step purification procedure consisting of size-exclusion, followed by anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The molecular weight of the Drs-PLA(2) was 13,679Da, which was determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was homologous to basic PLA(2)s of viperid snake venoms. The Drs-PLA(2) had indirect hemolytic and anticoagulant activities, cytotoxic activity with a CC(50) of 65.8nM, and inhibited SK-MEL-28 cell migration with an IC(50) of 25.6nM. In addition, the Drs-PLA(2) inhibited the colonization of B16F10 cells in lungs of BALB/c mice by ∼65%.

Purification, characterization and molecular cloning of chymotrypsin inhibitor peptides from the venom of Burmese Daboia russelii siamensis.
One novel Kunitz BPTI-like peptide designated as BBPTI-1, with chymotrypsin inhibitory activity was identified from the venom of Burmese Daboia russelii siamensis. It was purified by three steps of chromatography including gel filtration, cation exchange and reversed phase. A partial N-terminal sequence of BBPTI-1, HDRPKFCYLPADPGECLAHMRSF was obtained by automated Edman degradation and a Ki val...

In the present study a major protein has been purified from the venom of Indian Daboia russelii russelii using gel filtration, ion exchange and Rp-HPLC techniques. The purified protein, named daboxin P accounts for ~24% of the total protein of the crude venom and has a molecular mass of 13.597 kDa. It exhibits strong anticoagulant and phospholipase A2 activity but is devoid of any cytotoxic eff...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Kunitz-type protease inhibitor peptide (Rusvikunin) purified from Daboia russelii russelii venom.
The snake venom may be considered as a potent source of untapped therapeutic proteins and peptides. The peptide mass fingerprinting and N-terminal sequence alignment of a 6.9kDa peptide named Rusvikunin from Daboia russelii russelii venom show the presence of putative conserved domains of the KU superfamily. Further, BLAST analysis of two of the de novo peptide sequences of Rusvikunin demonstra...
متن کاملSingle Chain Antibody Fragment against Venom from the Snake Daboia russelii formosensis
Russell's vipers containing hemotoxic and neurotoxic venom commonly cause snake envenomation. Horse-derived antivenom is a specific antidote, but its production is expensive and has side effects. Developing a cost-effective and more tolerable therapeutic strategy is favorable. In this study, using glutaraldehyde-attenuated Daboia russelii formosensis (DRF) venom proteins to immunize chickens, p...
متن کاملClinical and Pharmacological Investigation of Myotoxicity in Sri Lankan Russell’s Viper (Daboia russelii) Envenoming
BACKGROUND Sri Lankan Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) envenoming is reported to cause myotoxicity and neurotoxicity, which are different to the effects of envenoming by most other populations of Russell's vipers. This study aimed to investigate evidence of myotoxicity in Russell's viper envenoming, response to antivenom and the toxins responsible for myotoxicity. METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS Cl...
