Project description:Hawk tea (Litsea coreana var. lanuginose) is a traditional Chinese tea, widely cultivated and consumed in southwestern China. It has been widely used to treat gastrosis, hepatitis, and inflammatory diseases for hundreds of years. Modern pharmacological studies demonstrate that hawk tea has protective effects against liver fibrosis, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory diseases . However, the molecular mechanism of hawk tea against hypercholesterolemia remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms of hawk tea extract (HTE) to lower cholesterol. Therefore, we performed genome-wide transcriptional analysis of hawk tea extracts treated HepG2 cells. Hawk tea extracts (HTE) induced significant gene modulation on HepG2 cells.

Project description:A new Pseudomonas species, isolated from charcoal
Project description:llotetraploid hybrids of Red Crucian Carp and common Carp are a new species bred by distant hybridization. SWATH-MS was applied for quantitative proteomics profiling in liver tissue of allotetraploid，Red Crucian Carp and Common Carp respectively.
Project description:It has been reported that Cryptosporidium parvum, a species of a protozoan frequently isolated from humans and animals, is able to induce digestive adenocarcinoma in a rodent model. Consistently, some epidemiological studies have reported an association with cryptosporidiosis in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, the correlation between cryptosporidiosis and human digestive cancer remains unclear at this time, and it is not known whether this intracellular parasite, considered an opportunistic agent, is able to induce gastrointestinal malignancies in humans. In order to add new arguments for a probable association between cryptosporidiosis and digestive human cancer, the main aim of this study is to determine prevalence and to identify species of Cryptosporidium among a French digestive cancer population.
