Project description:Comparative analysis of micro-RNA (miRNA) in ginger-derived nanoparticles and ginger donor tissue using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The ginger-derived nanoparticles were prepared by differential ultracentrifuges. We mapped about 30 to 50 million sequence reads to the plant miRNA database and identified total of 2228 miRNAs including 532 miRNAs higher in nanoparticles and 1,280 miRNAs higner in tissue.
Project description:Human diet emerges as a pivotal determinant of gut microbiota composition and function. Identification of the bacterial taxa targeted by diet derived factors with causal beneficial rather than detrimental effects on therapy and their mechanism of action is challenging but necessary for future clinical progress. The germ free mice colonized with human gut bacteria and four-plants derived nanoparticles uptaking bacteria were sorted with flow cytometry and identified with 16s rRNA next-generation sequencing.
Project description:Iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) have stimulatory effects on the germination ratio and plant growth of wheat. To elucidate the effects of Fe NPs on shoot of drought tolerant Pakistan-13 and salt tolerant NARC-11, a gel-free/label-free proteomic technique was used.
Project description:Comparison of transcriptional profiles after exposure of HaCaT cells to WC or WC-Co nanoparticles and respective amount of free cobalt in form of CoCl2 after 3 hours and 3 days of exposure. Genes responding especially to nanoparticles or leached cobalt ions should be determined.
Project description:We studied the composition of the protein corona formed on 60 nm silver nanoparticles with citrate coating interacted with the human blood plasma under various pH and temperature conditions. The protein corona was analyzed using LC-MS and label-free quantitation.
Project description:We found the bone marrow stromal-derived neural progenitor cells secretome have the neural protection effect. Proteomic analysis was performed nn order to analyze the protection factor in the secretome. Keywords: Neural protection, secretome
Project description:Secretomics analysis of conditioned media from first trimester/term human placental explant cultures after exposure to SiO2, TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) (25 μg/mL) or diesel exhaust particles (DEPs, 0.45 μg/mL)using LC-MS/MS based label-free quantification (LFQ) analysis.
Project description:In current study, we observed that panax notoginseng derived exosome-like nanoparticles successfully promoted proliferation, significantly inhibited apoptosis and greatly facilitated migration in HUVECs, further highlighting the robust therapy effects of HIF1A-AS1 to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Moreover, transcriptomics was implemented to uncover its underlying mechanism. A total of 276 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, with some of them enriched in apoptosis, migration and cell cycle related pathways. Intriguingly, some DEGs were annotated in vascular development or coagulation function pathways. In view of this, we suggested panax notoginseng derived exosome-like nanoparticles mediated the progression of CVD by not only regulating the function of HUVECs, but also altering vascular development or coagulation function. Lastly, RT-qPCR confirmed the veracity and reliability of RNA-sequencing results.
