Misgurin

* Please kindly note that our products are not to be used for therapeutic purposes and cannot be sold to patients.

A novel antimicrobial peptide, named misgurin, was isolated and characterized from the loach (mudfish), Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. Misgurin showed a strong antimicrobial activity in vitro against a broad spectrum of microorganisms without significant hemolytic activity and was about 6 times more potent than magainin 2.

3. SARS-CoV-2 infects the human kidney and drives fibrosis in kidney organoids
Jitske Jansen, et al. Cell Stem Cell. 2022 Feb 3;29(2):217-231.e8. doi: 10.1016/j.stem.2021.12.010. Epub 2021 Dec 25.
Kidney failure is frequently observed during and after COVID-19, but it remains elusive whether this is a direct effect of the virus. Here, we report that SARS-CoV-2 directly infects kidney cells and is associated with increased tubule-interstitial kidney fibrosis in patient autopsy samples. To study direct effects of the virus on the kidney independent of systemic effects of COVID-19, we infected human-induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived kidney organoids with SARS-CoV-2. Single-cell RNA sequencing indicated injury and dedifferentiation of infected cells with activation of profibrotic signaling pathways. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2 infection also led to increased collagen 1 protein expression in organoids. A SARS-CoV-2 protease inhibitor was able to ameliorate the infection of kidney cells by SARS-CoV-2. Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect kidney cells and induce cell injury with subsequent fibrosis. These data could explain both acute kidney injury in COVID-19 patients and the development of chronic kidney disease in long COVID.
