Protein corona investigations use different protein sources. Outcome of investigations is crucial. Human plasma seems to be a better choice than serum from animals or also human.

Fishmeal is a suitable protein source for pregnant and lactating ewes, providing higher levels of undegradable protein than vegetable protein sources, with an improved biological value (Robinson, 1987). Vegetable protein sources may however be improved by formaldehyde treatment to reduce protein degradability and by the addition of rumen-protected amino acids. The objective of the current experiment was to compare the effects of feeding concentrates containing fishmeal with concentrates containing soya-bean meal, formaldehyde treated soya-bean meal and formaldehyde treated soya-bean meal with rumen-protected methionine.

A better understanding of the compatibility of water-soluble semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) upon contact with the bloodstream is important for biological applications, including biomarkers working in the first therapeutic spectral window for deep tissue imaging. Herein, we investigated the conformational changes of blood plasma proteins during the interaction with near-infrared light-emitting nanoparticles, consisting of Pluronic F127 shells and cores comprised of assembled silicon QDs terminated with decane monolayers. Albumin and transferrin have high quenching constants and form a hard protein corona on the nanoparticle. In contrast, fibrinogen has low quenching constants and forms a soft protein corona. A circular dichroism (CD) spectrometric study investigates changes in the protein’s secondary and tertiary structures with incremental changes in the nanoparticle concentrations. As expected, the addition of nanoparticles causes the denaturation of the plasma proteins. However, it is noteworthy that the conformational recovery phenomena are observed for fibrinogen and transferrin, suggesting that the nanoparticle does not influence the ordered structure of proteins in the bloodstream. In addition, we observed enabled cellular uptake (NIH3T3 Fibroblasts) and minimal cytotoxicity using different cell lines (HeLa, A549, and NIH3T3). This study offers a basis to design QDs without altering the biomacromolecule’s original conformation with enabled cellular uptake with minimal cytotoxicity.

Patterned nanoparticle surfaces can repel protein absorption and prevent the formation of a protein corona, which alters the biological behavior and therefore the fate of the nanoparticle.

Abstract Background Nanoparticles, which are exposed to biological fluids are rapidly interacting with proteins and other biomolecules forming a corona. In addition to dimension, charge and material the distinct protein corona influences the interplay of nanoparticles with tissue barriers. In this study we were focused on the impact of in situ formed human plasma protein corona on the transfer of 80 nm polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-particles) across the human placenta. To study materno-to fetal PS transfer we used the human ex vivo placental perfusion approach, which represents an intact and physiological tissue barrier. To analyze the protein corona of PS particles we performed shotgun proteomics of isolated nanoparticles before and after tissue exposure. Results Human plasma incubated with PS-particles of 80 nm and subsequent formed protein corona enhanced the transfer across the human placenta compared to PS-corona formed by bovine serum albumin and dextran which served as a control. Quantitative and qualitative changes of plasma proteins determined the changes in PS transfer across the barrier. Based on the analysis of the PS-proteome two candidate proteins, namely human albumin and immunoglobulin G were tested if these proteins may account for the enhanced PS-transfer across the placenta. Interestingly, the protein corona formed by human albumin significantly induced the transfer of PS-particles across the tissue compared to the formed IgG-corona. Conclusion In total we demonstrate the PS corona dynamically and significantly evolves upon crossing the human placenta. Thus, the initial composition of PS particles in the maternal circulation is not predictive for their transfer characteristics and performance once beyond the barrier of the placenta. The precise mechanism of these effects remains to be elucidated but highlights the importance of using well designed biological models when testing nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

A trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of combination of soybean meal (SBN), mustard oilcake (MOC), sesame oilcake (SOC) and linseed oilcake (LOC) as alternative for dietary fish meal (FM) protein for Labeo rohita fingerling for a period of 56 days. Six experimental diets were formulated by replacing 30, 50, 60, 70 and 100% (2 diets) of the total dietary fish meal protein by the combination of FM, SBM, MOC, SOC, and LOC. The combinations of the protein sources were as diet 1 (FM 100%), diet 2 (FM:SBM:MOC::70:15:15), diet 3 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::50:20:20:10), diet 4 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::40:20:20:20), diet 5 (FM:SBM:SOC:LOC::25:30:15:30), diet 6 (SBM:MOC:SOC:LOC::25:25:25:25) and diet 7 (SBM:SOC:LOC::40:30:30). The performances of these six test diets were compared with the diet 1 (control). All diets were iso-nitrogenous containing about 30% protein. The growth trial was conducted in a flow through system under laboratory condition with three replications for each treatment. On the basis of the growth response, food conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) diet 7 showed better performance followed by diet 1, diet 2, diet 5, diet 3, diet 4 and diet 6 respectively but those were not significantly different (P>0.05). The diet 6 produced the lowest performance. The apparent protein digestibility (APD) values for all the experimental diets were very nearer but significantly different (P0.05) in diets even from control one which were formulated to evaluate the effects of combination of low cost oil seed cakes as dietary protein source for Labeo rohita fingerling. Hence, it might be concluded that from the economic point of view, that all the low cost oil seed cakes which are locally available can be used in combination form as the alternative protein source for the feed of Labeo rohita. Key words: Oil seed cakes, Labeo rohita, fingerling, protein source.   doi:10.3329/ujzru.v27i0.1949 Univ. j. zool. Rajshahi Univ. Vol. 27, 2008 pp. 25-30

Protein transduction: core–shell microspheres have been synthesised and coupled to ribonuclease A. Cellular uptake of these microspheres causes significantly reduced levels of intracellular RNA and reduced cell viability demonstrating that core–shell microsphere-mediated delivery of active enzymes into cells is effective.
