Article Title: Beta-glucuronidase catalyzes deconjugation and activation of curcumin-glucuronide in bone
doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.8b00873
Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Curcumin-glucuronide specific deconjugation activity of GUSB, HPSE, or KL was determined by quantitation of curcumin-glucuronide substrate and curcumin product after incubating recombinant human enzymes with curcumin-glucuronide (n=3–6/group). **** p < 0.0001 vs control (or as specified). B) Immunoblot of GUSB, HPSE, and KL expression in indicated tissues from female, 4-week, C57BL/6J mice (representative of n=4 blots). C) Tissue-specific GUSB enzyme activity using 4-MUG in 4-week female C57BL/6J mice (n=4–5/group). ****p < 0.0001 vs marrow.
Article Snippet: Recombinant human (rh)-GUSB (6144-GH), rh-HPSE (7570-GH), and rh-KL (5334-KL), and recombinant mouse receptor activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL, 462-TEC) were purchased from R&D Systems.
