New product | Focusing on glutathione metabolism- Abbkine new product coming in May!

It's time to release new products every month, so it's exciting to think about it! After the hard work of our R & D personnel, Abbkine welcomed 7 new partners in May! The new product line of this issue-glutathione series biochemical kits.









The significance of glutathione research:





Glutathione is a
tripeptide containing glutamate, cysteine and glycine, which contains
sulfhydryl groups. It is widely present in animals and plants. It has
antioxidant and integrated detoxification effects. Its related coenzyme is
NADPH.





Too much free
radicals produced by the body's metabolism can damage the biofilm, invade
macromolecules of life, accelerate the body's aging, and induce the production
of tumors or atherosclerosis. Glutathione has the functions of enhancing the
antioxidant function of organisms, promoting growth, and enhancing the
influence of organisms on the adverse environment in the human body. Its main
physiological role is to remove free radicals in the body. It is also a good
antidote, which can weaken the toxicity of toxic substances and remove toxic
substances from the body. Glutathione also promotes growth and improves human
immunity.





Glutathione can
be used not only as a medicine but also as a base material for functional
foods, and is widely used in functional foods such as anti-aging, enhancing
immunity and anti-tumor.





Interpretation of
new products:





1) CheKineTM Reduced Glutathione (GSH) Colorimetric Assay Kit: Application notes DTNB reacts with reduced glutathione to form a yellow product. The optical density measured at 412 nm, can directly reflect glutathione concentration in the sample.





2) CheKineTM
Glutathione Oxidized (GSSG) Colorimetric Assay Kit: Reduced glutathione can
react with DTNB and generate 2-nitro-5-mercaptobenzoic acid, which has the
maximum light absorption at 412nm wavelength.





3) CheKineTM
Glutathione Reductases (GR) Colorimetric Assay Kit: GR can catalyze the reduction
of NADPH to GSSG to regenerate GSH, and NADPH dehydrogenates to produce NADP +;
NADPH has a characteristic absorption peak at 340 nm, while NADP + has no
absorption peak at this wavelength; NADPH dehydrogenation rate is determined by
measuring the decrease rate of absorbance at 340 nm to calculate GR activity.





4) CheKineTM
Glutathione S-Transferase (GST) Colorimetric Assay Kit: GST catalyzes the
binding of GSH to CDNB. The conjugation is accompanied by an increase in
absorbance at 340 nm. The rate of increase is directly proportional to the GST
activity in the sample.





5) CheKineTM
Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) Colorimetric Assay Kit: GSH-Px catalyzes H2O2
to oxidize GSH to produce GSSG; glutathione reductase (GR) catalyzes NADPH to
reduce GSSG to regenerate GSH, while NADPH oxidizes to produce NADP+; NADPH has
a characteristic absorption peak at 340 nm, while NADP+ does not; NADPH
dehydrogenation rate is determined by measuring the decrease rate of absorbance
at 340 nm to calculate GSH-Px activity.





6) CheKineTM
Thioredoxin Reductase (TrxR) Colorimetric Assay Kit: TrxR can catalyzes the
reduction of DTNB by NADPH to generate TNB and NADP+. TNB has a characteristic
absorption peak at 412 nm. TrxR activity can be calculated by measuring the
increase rate of TNB at 412 nm.





7) CheKineTM
Thioredoxin Peroxidase (TPX) Colorimetric Assay Kit: TPX catalyzes H2O2
to oxidize dithiothreitol (DTT). The absorption wavelength of H2O2
is 240nm. TPX activity can be calculated by measuring the decrease rate of
absorbance at 240nm and subtracting H2O2 catalyzed by
catalase (CAT). Therefore, this kit can measure TPX and CAT activities of
samples simultaneously.

Title: MST4 kinase suppresses
gastric tumorigenesis by limiting YAP activation via a non-canonical pathway





Magazine: Journal of
Experimental Medicine





Impact
factor:

9.83





University:
Tongji University





Abstract: Hyperactivation of YAP has been commonly associated with tumorigenesis,
and emerging evidence hints at multilayered Hippo-independent regulations of
YAP. In this study, we identified a new MST4–YAP
axis, which acts as a noncanonical Hippo signaling pathway that limits
stress-induced YAP activation. MST4 kinase directly phosphorylated YAP at Thr83
to block its binding with importin α, therefore leading to YAP cytoplasmic
retention and inactivation. Due to a consequential interplay between
MST4-mediated YAP phospho-Thr83 signaling and the classical YAP phospho-Ser127
signaling, the phosphorylation level of YAP at Thr83 was correlated to that at
Ser127. Mutation of T83E mimicking MST4-mediated alternative signaling
restrained the activity of both wild-type YAP and its S127A mutant mimicking
loss of classical Hippo signal. Depletion of MST4 in mice promoted gastric
tumorigenesis with diminished Thr83 phosphorylation and hyperactivation of YAP.
Moreover, loss of MST4–YAP signaling was associated with poor
prognosis of human gastric cancer. Collectively, our study uncovered a
noncanonical MST4–YAP signaling axis essential for suppressing
gastric tumorigenesis.

Title:
TRIM32/USP11
Balances ARID1A Stability and the Oncogenic/Tumor-Suppressive Status of
Squamous Cell Carcinoma





Magazine: Cell Reports





Impact
factor:

8.04





University:
Chinese
Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College





Abstract: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an
aggressive epithelial malignancy, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying SCC
development are elusive. ARID1A is frequently mutated in various cancer types,
but both mutation rates and expression levels of ARID1A are ubiquitously low in
SCCs. Here, we reveal that excessive protein degradation mediated by the
ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) contributes to the loss of ARID1A expression
in SCC. We identify that the E3 ligase TRIM32 and the deubiquitinase USP11 play
key roles in controlling ARID1A stability. TRIM32 depletion inhibits SCC cell
proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance by stabilizing ARID1A, while
USP11 depletion promotes SCC development by promoting ARID1A degradation. We
show that syndecan-2 (SDC2) is the downstream target of both ARID1A and USP11
and that SDC2 depletion abolishes the oncogenic function of ARID1A loss. In
summary, our data reveal UPS-mediated protein degradation as a mechanism
underlying ARID1A loss and propose an important role for the
TRIM32/USP11-ARID1A-SDC2 axis in SCC.

Title:
Microneedle
drug eluting balloon for enhanced drug delivery to vascular tissue





Magazine:
Journal
of Controlled Release





Impact
factor:
7.82





University:
Yonsei
University, Seoul





Abstract: High rates of restenosis and neointimal
formation have driven increasing interest in the application of drug eluting
balloons (DEB) as counteractive measures for intraluminal drug delivery. The
use of DEBs eliminates the need for stents so that serious side effects including
in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis can be avoided and long-term
medication of antiplatelet agent is not needed. Despite their benefits, DEBs
have poor drug delivery efficiency due to short balloon inflation times (30~60
seconds) that limit the passive drug diffusion from the balloon surface to the
luminal lesion. To increase drug delivery efficiency, a microneedle DEB (MNDEB)
was developed by a conformal transfer molding process using a thin polydimethylsiloxane
mold bearing a negative array of MNs of 200 μm in height. A MN
array composed of UV curable resin was formed onto the surface of DEB, and
drugs were coated onto the structure. The mechanical properties of the MN array
were investigated and MN





penetration
into luminal vasculature was confirmed in vivo. An increase in drug delivery efficiency
compared to a standard DEB was demonstrated in an in vivo test in a rabbit
aorta. Finally, the superior therapeutic efficacy of MNDEBs was evaluated using
an atherosclerosis rabbit model.

VI Induces Caspase-1-Mediated Pyroptosis via the Induction of ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD
Signal Axis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer





Magazine:
Cancers





Impact
factor:

University:
Southwest
Medical University





Abstract: Trillium tschonoskii Maxim
(TTM), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been demonstrated to have a potent
anti-tumor effect. Recently, polyphyllin VI (PPVI), a main saponin isolated
from TTM, was reported by us to significantly suppress the proliferation of
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) via the induction of apoptosis and autophagy
in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we further found that the NLRP3
inflammasome was activated in PPVI administrated A549-bearing athymic nude
mice. As is known to us, pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of
caspase-1-dependent programmed cell death that plays an important role in
cancer. By using A549 and H1299 cells, the in vitro effect and action mechanism
by which PPVI induces activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in NSCLC were
investigated. The anti-proliferative effect of PPVI in A549 and H1299 cells was
firstly measured and validated by MTT assay. The activation of the NLRP3
inflammasome was detected by using Hoechst33324/PI staining, flow cytometry
analysis and real-time live cell imaging methods. We found that PPVI
significantly increased the percentage of cells with PI signal in A549 and
H1299, and the dynamic change in cell morphology and the process of cell death
of A549 cells indicated that PPVI induced an apoptosis-to-pyroptosis switch,
and, ultimately, lytic cell death. In addition, belnacasan (VX-765), an
inhibitor of caspase-1, could remarkably decrease the pyroptotic cell death of
PPVI-treated A549 and H1299 cells. Moreover, by detecting the expression of
NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 and GSDMD in A549 and h1299 cells using Western
blotting, immunofluorescence imaging and flow cytometric analysis, measuring
the caspase-1 activity using colorimetric assay, and quantifying the cytokines
level of IL-1β and
IL-18 using ELISA, the NLRP3 inflammasome was found to be activated in a dose
manner, while VX-765 and necrosulfonamide (NSA), an inhibitor of GSDMD, could
inhibit PPVI-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, the
mechanism study found that PPVI could activate the NF-κB signaling pathway via increasing reactive
oxygen species (ROS) levels in A549 and H1299 cells, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine
(NAC), a scavenger of ROS, remarkably inhibited the cell death, and the
activation of NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome in PPVI-treated A549 and H1299
cells. Taken together, these data suggested that PPVI-induced,
caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis via the induction of the ROS/NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD
signal axis in NSCLC, which further clarified the mechanism of PPVI in the
inhibition of NSCLC, and thereby provided a possibility for PPVI to serve as a
novel therapeutic agent for NSCLC in the future

Abstract: Integrin β3 is one
of the main integrin heterodimer receptors on the surface of cardiac myocytes.
Our previous studies showed that hypoxia induces apoptosis and increases
integrin β3
expression in cardiomyocytes. However, the exact mechanism by which integrin β3 protects
against apoptosis remains unclear. Hence, the present investigation aimed to
explore the mechanism of integrin β3 in cardiomyocyte proliferation and
hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

New product: IL-6, TNF-alpha, bFGF, IFN-gamma recombinant protein upgrading!

The new product line in this recombinant protein series:





Human
IL-6 protein
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic
cytokine that plays an important role in host defense by regulating immune and
inflammatory responses. IL-6 is an important member of the cytokine network and
is central to the acute inflammatory response. After the production of IL-6, it
induces the production of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT),
which are associated with inflammatory diseases and infections. The degree is
directly related. IL-6 can quickly diagnose early inflammation and warn of
sepsis.





Human
TNF-alpha protein
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a cytokine
involved in systemic inflammation, mainly secreted by macrophages. Its main function
is to regulate immune cells. As an endogenous pyrogen, it can cause fever,
cause apoptosis, prevent tumorigenesis and virus replication. Its dysfunction
is thought to be related to many diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease,
psoriasis, cancer, major depression, and enteritis. TNF-a is an important part
of the cell signaling pathway, so it has become the target of multiple drugs.





Human
bFGF protein
Mouse bFGF protein





Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a trace
substance present in mammals and a multifunctional cell growth factor. bFGF has
obvious tendency activity to wound cells, induces inflammatory cells,
fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells to move to the wound site, activates
the phagocytic function of macrophages, improves the body's immune activity,
and significantly reduces the chance of wound infection.





Human
IFN-gamma protein, His Tag
Mouse IFN-gamma protein, His TagIFN-gamma belongs
to the type II interferon family, which is
widely involved in immune and inflammatory responses. Proper activation of IFN-γ signaling pathway can promote the activation
of macrophages and mediate the host's defense function against pathogens. At
the same time, IFN-γ signaling
pathway can also play an immunomodulatory role in anti-tumor immunity.

How to choose appropriate Catalase (CAT) Activity Assay Kit?

Catalase (CAT) is an antioxidant enzyme commonly found in almost all living organisms. Its main function is to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen and remove hydrogen peroxide in the body, thus preventing cells from being poisoned by H2O2. It is one of the key enzymes in the biological defense system and provides an antioxidant defense mechanism for the body.





In this article, for CAT Activity Assay Kit, the author chose different brands (Cayman Chemical, Abcam, Biovision) and compared them with Abbkine CheKine™ Catalase (CAT) Activity Assay Kit (Cat#: KTB1040) from several aspects such as assay principle, detection, sample type and size/price.





Summary: For CAT Activity Assay Kit, the brand Abbkine and Cayman Chemical are the similar in Assay Principle. Methanol is taken as a reaction substrate. While Abcam and Biovision take H2O2 as a reaction substrate.





But H2O2 is not only a single substrate of catalase (CAT), other peroxidases in the sample may interfere with the experimental results, and the standard curve error may be caused by instability of hydrogen peroxide. While methanol is the unique substrate of catalase, other peroxidases cannot use methanol as substrate, so interference signals are avoided.





Details of different brands of products are as follows,
