Immunostimulatory properties and antitumor activities of glucans
New foods and natural biological modulators have recently become of scientific interest in the investigation of the value of traditional medical therapeutics. Glucans have an important part in this renewed interest. These fungal wall components are claimed to be useful for various medical purposes and they are obtained from medicinal mushrooms commonly used in traditional Oriental medicine. The...
متن کاملAntioxidant, antitumor and immunostimulatory activities of the polypeptide from Pleurotus eryngii mycelium.
The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant, antitumor and immunological activities of the polypeptide from Pleurotus eryngii mycelium (PEMP). The ability of the polypeptide to stimulate Ana-1 macrophages to englobe neutral red, secrete NO, H2O2, TNF-α, and IL-6, increase TLR2 and TLR4 expression levels and Ana-1 cell survival rate were investigated to study its immunocompete...
متن کاملThermal stability and nuclease-resistance properties of oligonucleotides having an aminoalkyl side chain at the nucleobase and sugar moieties
Recent studies concerning properties of oligonucleotides (ONs) with aminoalkyl side chains at the nucleobase and sugar moieties have been comprehensively reviewed in relation to the antisense, antigene, ribozyme, aptamer, decoy, and siRNA strategies. Thermal stabilities of ONs incorporating nucleoside analogs with a wide variety of aminoalkyl side chains at the 5and 4-positions of pyrimidine ba...
متن کاملAcetylene reduction (nitrogen fixation) and metabolic activities of soybean having various leaf and nodule water potentials.
An apparatus was designed that permitted acetylene reduction (N(2) fixation) by root nodules to be measured in situ simultaneously with net photosynthesis, dark respiration, and transpiration of the shoot in soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Beeson). Tests showed that acetylene reduction was linear with time for at least 5 hours, except for the first 30 to 60 minutes. Endogenous ethyl...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of sugar-modified cytosine nucleosides.
Nucleoside analogues which show antimetabolic activity in cells have been successfully used in the treatment of various tumors. Nucleosides such as 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC), 6-mercaptopurine, fludarabine and cladribine play an important role in the treatment of leukemias, while gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil and its prodrugs are used extensively in the treatment of many types of so...
