Electrostatic Control of Polymer Translocation Speed through α-Hemolysin Protein Pore [PDF]

open access: yesMacromolecules, 2016
The electrostatic origins behind the speed of translocation of a uniformly charged flexible macromolecule through α-hemolysin (αHL) protein pores under a voltage are investigated using variations in pH and electrolyte concentration. We have measured durations of successful threading of poly(styrenesulfonate) through αHL at two different pH conditions ...

Probiotic‐Derived Vesicles Rectally Delivered via Thermo‐Gelling Copolymer Promote Mucosal Healing and Reduce Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A thermo‐responsive rectal delivery platform integrating probiotic‐derived extracellular vesicles within a hyaluronic acid‐based copolymer enables localized and sustained therapy for ulcerative colitis. The formulation effectively suppresses inflammation, promotes macrophage polarization toward a regenerative phenotype, restores epithelial barrier ...

Effects of Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides on Growth, Disease Resistance, and Gut Microbiota in Zebrafish

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Supplementation with mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) enhances growth, disease resistance, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota diversity while suppressing inflammation, apoptosis, and strengthening intestinal barrier integrity in zebrafish challenged with LPS or DSS.

Comparative proteomic analysis of Streptococcus suis biofilms and planktonic cells that identified biofilm infection-related immunogenic proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Streptococcus suis (SS) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes severe disease symptoms in pigs and humans. Biofilms of SS bind to extracellular matrix proteins in both endothelial and epithelial cells and cause persistent infections.

RNA and β-Hemolysin of Group B Streptococcus Induce Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) by Activating NLRP3 Inflammasomes in Mouse Macrophages*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Results: GBS RNA escapes the phagolysosome and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome in a β-hemolysin-dependent fashion.

Synergism among oxidants, proteinases, phospholipases, microbial hemolysins, cationic proteins, and cytokines [PDF]

open access: yesInflammation, 1992
A striking similarity exists between the pathogenetic properties of group A streptococci and those of activated mammalian professional phagocytes (neutrophils, macrophages). Both types of cells are endowed by the ability to adhere to target cells; to elaborate oxidants, hydrolases, and membrane-active agents (hemolysins, phospholipases); and to freely ...
