Optimization of Protein Hydrolysate from Earthworms (<i>Perionyx excavatus</i>) of Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Activity by One Variable at a Time by Phong Thanh Bui, Truc Anh Hoang, My Thi Thuy Pham, Linh Le Phuong Tran, Oanh Kim Nguyen

“…The results showed that the protein hydrolysate of earthworms gave the highest ACEIA of 85.38 ± 2.31% (at the protein concentration of 2 mg/mL) and IC50 value of 844.64 μg/mL when the earthworms were hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme® 500 MG under optimized conditions such as earthworm:phosphate buffer ratio of 1:6 (w/v), hydrolysis temperature of 50 °C, pH 7, enzyme:substrate ratio of 600 U/g protein and hydrolysis time of 2 h. The membrane further fractionated the hydrolysate, and the < 1 kDa fraction had the highest ACEIA with an IC50 value of 261.94 μg/mL. …”

Integrating whole-genome re-sequencing and transcriptome data to reveal the molecular mechanism of TBX5 gene regulating feathered feet in Guangxi native chickens by Zhuliang Yang, Yongcui Liu, Jintang Luo, Cong Xiao, Hong Yuan, Wenya Du, Xiurong Yang

“…In contrast, excessive overexpression of TBX5 (2.5 μg) and interference with TBX5 inhibited these genes, suggesting a dose-dependent effect of TBX5 on the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts. EdU fluorescence staining, flow cytometry, and migration assays demonstrated that moderate expression of TBX5 can promote the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts, while TBX5 interference produced opposite results. …”
