Bacterial Engulfment Mechanism Is Strongly Conserved in Evolution Between Earthworm and Human Immune Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Invertebrates, including earthworms, are applied to study the evolutionarily conserved cellular immune processes. Earthworm immunocytes (so-called coelomocytes) are functionally similar to vertebrate myeloid cells and form the first line of defense ...

On a collection of enchytraeids (Oligochaeta) from first order streams in São Paulo State, Brazil [PDF]

, 2017
A collection of 21 ethanol-preserved specimens of enchytraeids collected in first order streams in São Paulo State, Brazil, was whole-mounted on slides and investigated under light microscope.

Properties of sea urchin coelomocyte agglutinins [PDF]

Italian Journal of Zoology, 1996
Abstract We examined some biological activities of a 200‐kDa glyco‐protein, referred to as Paracentrotus lividus vitellogenin, contained both in the coelomic fluid and in a subpopulation of coelomocytes called ≪colourless spherula cells≫. Cell‐free coelomic fluid, coelomocyte lysate and supernatant obtained after coelomocyte washings were assayed for ...

Expression profiles of immune-related genes in coelomocytes during regeneration after evisceration in Apostichopus japonicus

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2020
A representative echinoderm, the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus has a special regeneration mechanism. The sea cucumber has no specific immune tissues or organs. Coelomocytes of sea cucumbers are involved in their cellular and humoral immunity.

Cell In Vitro Testing with Soil Invertebrates—Challenges and Opportunities toward Modeling the Effect of Nanomaterials: A Surface-Modified CuO Case Study

Nanomaterials, 2019
Soil invertebrates have been widely used in ecotoxicology studies for decades, although their use as in vitro models, albeit promising, has not been pursued as much.

Mode of action of Cr(VI) in immunocytes of earthworms: Implications for animal health [PDF]

, 2017
Chromium (Cr) is one of the major and most detrimental pollutant, widely present in the environment as a result of several anthropogenic activities. In mammalian cells, Cr(VI) is known to enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and to cause ...

The Comet Assay as a Sustainable Method for Evaluating the Genotoxicity Caused by the Soluble Fraction Derived from Sewage Sludge on Diverse Cell Types, Including Lymphocytes, Coelomocytes and Allium cepa L. Cells

Sustainability
With the expansion of urban areas, the amount of sludge produced by sewage treatment plants is increasing, raising big problems regarding the reintroduction of this sludge into nature in order to fully solve the wastewater problem.

Transcriptomic dataset of two types of coelomocytes from Ophelia limacina (Rathke, 1843)ENAZenodo

Data in Brief
Coelomocytes are a group of specific cells found in the coeloms of invertebrate animals. They perform a variety of functions including immune response, storage, detoxification, and transport of different compounds.

Cytocentrifugation as an additional method to study echinoderm coelomocytes: a comparative approach combining living cells, stained preparations, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy

, 2021
Introduction: Echinoderm coelomocytes have traditionally been investigated through a morphological approach using light microscopy, which relies on the idea of constant cell shape as a stable character.
