OTHER SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS AND CONFERENCE ABSTRACTS
  1. Raul Cuero, Ph.D, NI A, Biocapital Holdings Llc, USA cDNA Recombinant Proteins for Dermatological and Cosmetic Protection: Use of Synthetic Biology. Sunlight is known to cause sever sunburn and skin cancer. Despite using many UV-absorbent substances, the dermatological harm continues to be a health concern. Therefore, here is described a novel method to produce a metabolite from yeast plasmid for dermatological and cosmetic protection of skin against UV damage, using synthetic biology. Different DNA constructs were assembled containing genes encoding proteins with higher absorption-extinction coefficients, and/or DNA repairing capacity. These gene assemblages were cloned in yeast cells, and a lysate was extracted after culture growth. Different lysates
    containing the recombinant proteins were tested in vitro in mammalian skin cells and microbial cells. The UV-protectant lysate proteins were detected by using photonic, intense low mass ion, and ELISA methods. Results showed that the anti-UV lysate-metabolite is a protein with a valine and other amine tail. Microscopy results show that fibroblast cells were protected by the lysate protein (71 % survival) after I hour of UV exposure, as compared to the 13% survival of untreated fibroblast cells. Nucleic acid assays confirm these
    results. Also, the number of elongated fibroblasts was higher in the lysate treated culture after exposure to UV radiation, as compared to the untreated cell culture, which had a lower number of elongated fibroblasts and more spherical fibroblasts, as an indication of the harmful effect of UV radiation. Similarly, microbial cells were protected by the lysate when exposed to UV radiation. These cDNA recombinant proteins also show great photo-protectant effect. This investigation demonstrated the benefit of this method for dermatological and cosmetic UV protection. Click here to view image
