In the study, soybean protein isolate(SPI) was modified by dry heat glycation of galactooligosaccharides(GOS). The gel properties, antioxidant properties and structural changes of SPI-GOS conjugates were investigated. The application of SPI-GOS conjugates in noodles was also explored. The results observed that the glycation degree of SPI increased with the increasing reaction time. SDS-PAGE and spectral analysis showed the changes of spatial conformation of SPI after glycation. The antioxidant activity of SPI increased after glycation and DPPH radical scavenging activity of SPI-GOS peaked at 48 h of reaction. The hardness, elasticity and resilience of soybean protein gel reached their relative maximum at 48 h, 48 h and 12 h of glycation reaction, respectively. Moreover, the appropriate addition of glycated SPI improved the quality of noodles. The noodles with 4% addition of SPI-GOS had higher hardness, elasticity and tensile properties. This study will provide an effective method to modify soybean protein and expand the use of soybean protein in food industry.展开更多

HKC cells were divided...The role of protein kinase C (PKC) activation in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in renal proximal tubular epithelial cells was investigated. HKC cells were divided into three groups: normal group, AGE-BSA group (100 mg/L AGE-BSA) and AGE-BSA+PKC inhibitor (10 μmol/L chelerythrine chloride) group. PKC activity was measured by PKC assay kit. The expression of Vimentin, and phosphorylated β-catenin was detected by using Western blotting, and the content of TGF-β1 was examined by ELISA method. The intracellular disposition of Vimentin was observed by fluorescence microscopy. As compared with normal group, PKC activity was increased significantly in AGE-BSA group. The expression of Vimentin, phosphorylated β-catenin, and TGF-β1 was enhanced significantly in AGE-BSA group. The expression of Vimentin, phosphorylated β-catenin, and TGF-β1 was significantly blocked by chelerythrine chloride. High expression of Vimentin, phosphorylated β-catenin, and TGF-β1 induced by AGE-BSA may be mediated via the activation of PKC signal transduction pathway.展开更多

It is well known that glycation involves the reactivity of, primarily, the ε-amino group of the lysines present in the protein. The immediate chemical environment of an amino group modulates the glycation reaction. In this work, several model helical peptides for protein glycation has been studied by resorting to QM:MM calculations through the ONIOM methodology. Some Conceptual DFT descriptors have been calculated that allowed the comparison of the chemical reactivity between the different model peptides in terms of the position of the Lys group and other spatially proximate amino acid residues.展开更多

Immunohistochemistry showed that expression of receptor for advanced glycation end-products was higher in the ischemic cortex of diabetic rats compared with non-diabetic rats with brain ischemia. Western blot assay revealed increased phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase expression, and unchanged phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase protein expression in the ischemic cortex of diabetic rats compared with non-diabetic rats with brain ischemia. Additionally, phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase protein was not detected in any rats in the two groups. Severity of limb hemiplegia was worse in diabetic rats with brain ischemia compared with ischemia alone rats. The results suggest that increased expression of receptor for advanced glycation end-products can further activate the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway in mitogen-activated protein kinase, thereby worsening brain injury associated with focal brain ischemia in diabetic rats.展开更多
