Acanthamoeba castellanii–Mediated Reduction of Interleukin‐1β Secretion and Its Association With Macrophage Autophagy

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Noncanonical autophagy including unconventional protein secretion has been extensively studied. Our work focused on a leaderless IL‐1β protein secretion from human macrophage in response to Acanthamoeba castellanii components, Acanthamoeba culture supernatant (CS) and cell lysate (CL), as well as its association with macrophage autophagy.

Amebicidal and Antiadhesion Activities of Knema retusa Extract Against Acanthamoeba triangularis T4 Genotype on Contact Lenses and Modeling Simulation of Its Main Compound, E2N, Against Acanthamoeba Beta‐Tubulin

Scientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Medicinal plants have been used as alternative agents for the treatment of infections. This study aimed to investigate bioactivities of medicinal plant extracts including Knema retusa extract (Kre) against Acanthamoeba triangularis T4 in vitro and in silico. Anti‐Acanthamoeba activities of 44 extracts from 5 plant species were determined.
