MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding genes by partially binding to specific target sites of mRNAs. miRNAs perform important functions in complicated cellular biological processes and their abnormal expression is involved in various disorders, including cancer. Among the miRNAs, differential expression of miR-139-5p serves a significant role...

We have previously identified extensive glycation, bound fatty acids and increased quantities of protein aggregates in commercially available recombinant HSA (rHSA) expressed in Oryza sativa (Asian rice) (OsrHSA) when compared to rHSA from other expression systems. We propose these differences may alter some attributes of nanoparticles fabricated with OsrHSA, as studies have associated greater ...

Abstract Study question Is the miRNAs cargo of extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in seminal plasma different between healthy semen donors and infertile patients? Summary answer There are significant differences expression patterns load EVs patients What is known already Extracellular contain a wide range proteins, lipids nucleic acids, such as microRNA. These microRNA can execute their actio...

background: protein aggregation is one of the important, common and troubling problems in biotechnology, pharmaceutical industries and amyloid-related disorders. methods: in the present study, the inhibitory effects of some carbohydrates (alginate, β-cyclodextrin and trehalose) on the formation of nano-globular aggregates from normal (hsa) and glycated (ghsa) human serum albumin were studied; w...

studying the interaction of pharmaceutical ionic liquids with human serum albumin (hsa) can help investigating whether or not ionic liquid formation can enhance pharmacological profile of the discrete ingredients. in this respect, in the present work, the interactions of benzalkonium ibuprofenate, as a well-known active pharmaceutical ionic liquid, benzalkonium chloride, and also sodium ibuprof...

human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma. drug binding to hsa is crucial to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, efficiency and bioavailability of drug molecules. in this study, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulation of hsa and its complex with indometacin (im) were performed to investigate thermodynamics parameters and th...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important protein that carries variety of substances like some hormones and drugs in blood. Pharmacological studies of the interaction of many drugs and HSA are reported during several decades, specially recently years. Interaction of cortisol and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) (as a common anti-stress drug) with HSA (as their carrier in blood) has been studied s...

There is a need to determine the relationship between function of immune system and miRNA expression in pediatric celiac disease (pCD). We aimed describe profiles miRNAs Turkish pCD patients based on clinical pathological findings. This study was conducted 33 control subjects with normal biopsy results. Four most common mutations (DQA1*05, DQB1*02, DQA1*03, DQB1*03:0.2) HLA gene were screened. ...

Thermal conformational changes in human serum albumin (HSA) in present with a 10 mM phosphate buffer, at pH=7 have been investigated via circular dichroism (CD) and UV spectroscopic methods. The results indicate that temperature in a range of 25oC to 55oC could induce a reversible conformational change in the structure of HSA. The HSA phase transition corresponds to the physiological and patho...
