Plant Heat Shock Proteins Are More Effective in Enhancing Recombinant Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activity than Bacterial Ones
Jung M, Park Y and Ahn YJ
Recombinant proteins produced in the cell factories are used in biological research, pharmaceutical production, and biochemical and agricultural applications. Molecular chaperones, such as heat shock proteins (Hsps), are co-expressed with recombinant proteins to enhance their yield, stability, and activity. When () is used as a cell factory, Hsps are the frequently used co-expression partners.
LncRNA U731166 Increases the Accumulation of TGFBR1 by Sponging miR-3607-3p in Esophageal Squamous-Cell Carcinomas (ESCC) to Promote Tumor Metastasis
Wang M, Wang M, Huang C, Zhu Y, Zhang F, Gao W, Li Z, Peng L, Tian Z, Gao C and Han X
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) U731166 and microRNA (miR)-3607-3p are two ncRNAs with critical roles in cancer biology, while their involvement in esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas (ESCC) is unclear. We predicted that U731166 and miR-3607-3p might interact with each other. This study aimed to investigate their role and interaction in ESCC.

Increased Expression Level of Human Blood Clotting Factor VIII Using NS0 Cell Line as a Host Cells
Zarei M, Ferdosi-Shahandashti E, Badalzadeh M and Kardar GA
Coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) is applied for spontaneous hemorrhaging inhibition and excessive bleeding after trauma in patients with hemophilia A. High-quality human recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) has been produced relatively in large quantities in cultured mammalian cells. NS0 is one of the most common mammalian cell lines for therapeutic protein production. Production of rFVIII has increased due to low FVIII expression levels and rising demand for hemophilia A prophylactic treatment. Several methods have been developed to prevent cell cycle progression in mammalian cells for increased recombinant protein yields.

Asgharian R, Hashemi A, Javeri A and Fakhr Taha M
DNA methylation plays important roles in regulating various biological processes, including self-renewal, differentiation and regenerative capacity of stem cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that lineage-specific differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells can be promoted using nontoxic chromatin-modifying drugs.
Intein Based Fusion Proteins: Great Tags for the Soluble Production and Convenient Purification of Recombinant Proteins
Shafiee F, Sharifi S and Amini A
The main problem in the recombinant protein expression in strains, especially for high-yield production, is the accumulation in un-folded and inactive inclusion bodies. A suitable solution is the direction into the soluble cytoplasmic products by solubilizing tags. The use of inteins with self-cleaving ability, in addition to increase the chance of soluble protein expression, facilitates their purification process.
