Structured role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in clinical diagnostic and prognostic medicine Muhammad Zubair, Pankaj Kishor Mishra, Saurabh Singhal Chemical Biology Letters, 2025 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely used biomarker for inflammation, infection, and various disease states. This review explores the role of CRP in the diagnosis and prognosis of several conditions, including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer, COVID-19, periodontitis, cirrhosis, and hypertension. CRP levels are elevated in many of these conditions, making it a useful tool for monitoring disease progression. In autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, CRP is associated with disease activity and severity. For CVD, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular events and is included in risk calculators. CRP also plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury and CKD, with higher levels linked to worse outcomes. In cancer, elevated CRP is associated with increased risk for various types of malignancies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CRP levels correlated with disease severity and mortality. Periodontitis, cirrhosis, and hypertension have also been linked to increased CRP levels, although the association with hypertension remains controversial. The review also discusses the biological functions of CRP, its role in saliva, and the importance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in evaluating CRP measurement approaches and diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the article highlights recent advances in CRP detection methods, emerging biomarkers studied alongside CRP, and the application of CRP in precision medicine. While CRP is a valuable biomarker, its utility for distinguishing between inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions can be limited, and it is often used in conjunction with other markers to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Determination of Mineral Contents and Heavy Metals of Oats Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Meenakshi Mishra, Pankaj Kishor Mishra, Umesh Kumar Indian Journal of Agricultural Biochemistry, 2025 Products made from oats, such as probiotic drinks, breads, biscuits, cookies and instant muesli (rolled oats), are becoming more and more popular. The number of heavy metals present in rolled oats has not been reported. This study sets out to ascertain the Lead (Pb) and Copper (Cu) contents in rolled oats that were collected from various parts of India, as well as to evaluate the safety of the rolled oats that were sold in India’s domestic market for human consumption. Oats have anticancer properties and are useful for gastrointestinal issues. One kind of minimally processed wholegrain food is rolled oats. Traditionally, they are manufactured from steamed and dehusked oat groats which are then rolled into flat flakes by heavy rollers and lightly roasted to stabilise. The rough outer bran of rolled oats is typically removed before being sold for porridge. They have frequently-though not always-been pressure-cooked, softly baked, or subjected to various types of processing. Large intact flakes are known as thick-rolled oats, whereas tiny, fragmented flakes are known as thin-rolled oats. Five samples were analysed in the lab; four of them were collected with FSSAI MRL values below the maximum residue level and the fifth sample had MRL values over the maximum. The FSSAI limit “Food not specified” yields the MRL value. With measurements of Pb-0.0344, Cu-3.7922, As-0.0081, Cd-0.0034, Sn-0.0036, Hg-0.0190, and the poorest sample, Pb-0.312, Cu-30.26, As-2.00, Cd-251, Sn-1.523, and Hg-2.88, Oats’ second sample yielded the best results.
Constitutive expression and discovery of antimicrobial peptides in Zygogramma bicolorata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Vijaylakshmi Jain, Pankaj Kishor Mishra, Meenakshi Mishra, Veeru Prakash Proteins Structure Function and Bioinformatics, 2022 The expression, identification, and discovery of less toxic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are significant in managing infectious pathogens. AMPs triggered in response to the immune system have evolved to defend against pathogens and wounding. The protein composition of Zygogramma bicolorata hemolymph is of diagnostic importance as the open circulatory systems of the insects involve signaling through hemolymph. They have conserved many ancestral vertebrate genes that may help better understand the evolution of innate immunity. The present work describes the isolation, purification, identification, and bioinformatics analysis of AMPs from the immunized hemolymph of Z. bicolorata. Thirty‐nine peptides were isolated from reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography and sequenced via mass spectrometry analysis. The immunization process recorded a threefold higher protein concentration in immunized hemolymph when compared with nonimmunized one. For the first time, the proteomic study on Z. bicolorata hemolymph unveils the three novel proteins in the family Chrysomelidae with no homology in the database, indicating its novelty and the expression of the rest of 36 well‐known proteins, including heat‐shock, immune, structural, signaling proteins, and others speak for its method validity. Combining the expression of novel AMPs, detoxifying enzymes, hemolytic, and cytotoxic assays, and this work can elucidate new pathways to immune response mechanisms. Its molecular basis also holds the potential applicability in the future drug development process against pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans.
Biogenic proceedings and characterization of copper-gold nanoalloy: Evaluation of their innate antimicrobial and catalytic activities Vijaylakshmi Jain, Azima Khusnud, Jaya Tiwari, Meenakshi Mishra, Pankaj Kishor Mishra Inorganic and Nano Metal Chemistry, 2021 Crystallized polyhedral triangular-shaped Au-Cu nanoparticles (NPs) have been biosynthesized using the cell-free extract of the pathogenic fungal strain of Aspergillus niger. The bioreduction was monitored and characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, XRD, TEM, and NMR and confirmed the synthesized NPs to be crystallized polydispersed particles of 23–199 nm having FCC lattice. FTIR analysis predicted the amide region carbonyl group showed strong binding ability with metal, which acts as a capping agent and provides stability in the medium, efficient to inhibit various pathogenic bacteria and fungi at the minimum inhibitory concentration 0.0039 and 5 mg mL−1, respectively. On performing the bio-perspective analysis, the cytotoxicity assay detects a reduction in MTT levels, anticipating the normal functioning of the mitochondria and cell viability in comparison with controls and excellent significance of the catalytic activity, cell toxicity and reactive oxygen species production rate.
