Bacteria of the human gut microbiome catabolize red seaweed glycans with carbohydrate-active enzyme updates from extrinsic microbes.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109(48):19786-91 (2012) PMID 23150581
We approached this hypothesis by studying such a polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) obtained by horizontal gene transfer by the gut bacterium Bacteroides plebeius. Transcriptomic and growth experiments revealed that the PUL responds to the polysaccharide porphyran from red algae, enabling growth... -
Cell biology. Looking for a sugar rush.

Polysaccharide enriched immunomodulatory fractions from Tinospora cordifolia (Willd) miers ax hook. f. & Thoms.
Indian J Exp Biol 50(9):612-7 (2012) PMID 23140018
Tinospora cordifolia is used in Ayurveda as "Rasayanas" to improve the immune system and the body resistance against infections. Polysaccharides are the main constituents which are considered to be responsible for immune enhancement. In this study, immunomodulatory activity of three... -
Diversity in prokaryotic glycosylation: an archaeal-derived N-linked glycan contains legionaminic acid.
Mol Microbiol 84(3):578-93 (2012) PMID 22435790
These results thus present additional examples of archaeal N-glycosylation diversity and show the ability of Archaea to modify heterologously expressed proteins. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.... -
Identification, cloning, and characterization of β-glucosidase from Ustilago esculenta.
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 93(5):1989-98 (2012) PMID 21850431
These results suggest that UeBgl3A is a key enzyme that produces glucose from laminarioligosaccharides during growth of U. esculenta on laminarin.... -
Promise of factor Xa inhibition in acute coronary syndromes.
Curr Cardiol Rep 14(1):40-8 (2012) PMID 22081368
We review the evidence behind indirect and direct factor Xa inhibition in non-ST-segment elevation ACS, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and with percutaneous coronary intervention.... -
Identification and assessment of new biomarkers for colorectal cancer with serum N-glycan profiling.
Cancer 118(3):639-50 (2012) PMID 21853445
The objectives of this study were to identify and validate the diagnostic value of N-glycan markers in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to uncover their underlying molecular mechanism. In total, 347 individuals, including patients with CRC, patients with colorectal adenoma... -
Anti-tumor activity of fucoidan is mediated by nitric oxide released from macrophages.
Int J Oncol 40(1):251-60 (2012) PMID 21874230
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide, has significant cytotoxic activity against tumor cells; however, the mechanism(s) of this action remains poorly understood. The present study was designed to determine the in vitro and in vivo effects of fucoidan and their molecular mechanisms. Fu... -
Pharmacological inhibition of Akt and downstream pathways modulates the expression of COX-2 and mPGES-1 in activated microglia
J Neuroinflammation 9(1):2 (2012) PMID 22214188 PMCID PMC3283507
We investigated the role of Akt and its downstream pathways, GSK-3 and mTOR, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated primary rat microglia by pharmacological inhibition of these pathways in regard to the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and to th... -
Treatment for superficial thrombophlebitis of the leg.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev (2012) PMID 22419302
We handsearched reference lists of relevant papers and conference proceedings. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating topical, medical, and surgical treatments for ST of the leg that included participants with a clinical diagnosis of ST of the legs or objective diagnosis of a...
