Mutational inactivation of the tumor suppressor tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2) constitutively activates mTORC1, increases cell proliferation, and induces pathological manifestations observed in (TS) pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). While role mTORC1 TSC2-dependent growth has been extensively characterized, little is known about mTORC2. Our data demonstrate that mTORC2 modulates TSC2-null proliferation survival through RhoA GTPase Bcl2 proteins. was inhibited not only by...

The high antibacterial and antiviral performance of synthesized copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) incorporated in zeolite nanoparticles (Cu-Z) was determined. Various Cu contents (1-9 wt %) solutions were loaded the matrix under neutral conditions at room temperature. All Cu-Z showed selectivity cuprous oxide, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. An advantage prepared over pristine Cu2O its thermal stability. 7 9 % (07Cu-Z 09Cu-Z) exhibited best activities...

Decorin, an archetypal member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, regulates collagen fibrillogenesis and cell growth. To further explore its biological function, we examined role Decorin during zebrafish development. Zebrafish is a chondroitin sulfate that exhibits high degree conservation with mammalian counterpart displays unique spatiotemporal expression pattern. Morpholino-mediated knockdown decorin identified developmental medial-lateral convergence anterior-posterior...

α-Mangostin is the most active compound derived from pericarps of mangosteen. A number studies have reported its anticancer activity. However, only a few investigated toxicity this compound; moreover, teratogenicity α-mangostin has not been reported. In study, we evaluated effects on development zebrafish embryos. The exposure embryos to for 72 h dose-dependently induced mortality and abnormal development. LC 50 value at was 5.75 ± 0.26 μmol/L. We observed teratogenic in α-mangostin-treated...

Tetragonula laeviceps cerumen was sequentially extracted with 80% (v/v) methanol, dichloromethane, and hexane also in the reverse order. By MTT assay respective 50% inhibition concentration value, most active fraction further purified to apparent homogeneity by bioassay-guided silica gel column chromatography. α-Mangostin identified high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry nuclear magnetic resonance analyses. It had a potent cytotoxicity against BT474, Chago, Hep-G 2 ,...

Crinumasiaticum is a perennial herb widely distributed in many warmer regions, including Thailand, and well-known for its medicinal ornamental values. Crinum alkaloids contain numerous compounds, such as crinamine. Even though mechanism of action still unknown, crinamine was previously shown to possess anticancer activity. In this study, we demonstrate that more cytotoxic cervical cancer cells than normal cells. It also inhibited anchorage-independent tumor spheroid growth effectively...

Investigating fine particulate matter (PM2.5) toxicity is crucial for health risk assessment and pollution control. This study explores the developmental of two PM2.5 sources: standard reference material 2786 (NIST, USA) from Chakri Naruebodindra Medical Institute (CNMI, Thailand) located in Bangkok Metropolitan area. Zebrafish embryos exposed to these samples exhibited embryonic mortality, with 50% lethal concentration (LC50) values 1476 µg/mL 512 CNMI PM2.5. Morphological analysis revealed...

The molecular program controlling hematopoietic differentiation is not fully understood. Here, we describe a family of zebrafish genes that includes novel regulator, draculin-like 3 (drl.3). We found drl.3 expressed in mesoderm-derived cells and retained during erythroid maturation. Moreover, expression correlated with development gata1a- spi1b-depleted embryos. Loss-of-function analysis indicated plays an essential role primitive erythropoiesis and, to lesser extent, myelopoiesis...
