Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

Proteomic Changes in Cancer Cell Lines as a Result of Bacterial Infection

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial infections have been implicated in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their effects on cancer cell proteomes remain unexplored. In this study, we analyzed proteomic changes in melanoma (A375) and ovarian cancer (OVCAR3) cell line models following infection with Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 or Salmonella enterica ...

Proteome‐Wide Analysis of Palmitoylated Proteins in Macrophages Reveals Novel Insights Into Early Immune Signaling

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein S‐palmitoylation, a reversible lipid modification, plays critical roles in regulating protein function and localization. However, its comprehensive role in the rapid reprogramming of macrophages during early immune responses remains incompletely understood.

Avian host defense peptides

Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 2013
Host defense peptides (HDPs) are important effector molecules of the innate immune system of vertebrates. These antimicrobial peptides are also present in invertebrates, plants and fungi. HDPs display broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities and fulfill an important role in the first line of defense of many organisms.

Host defense peptides in burns

Burns, 2004
Overuse of antibiotics and failure to apply basic infection control policies and procedures have contributed to the increasing multi-drug resistance of many nosocomial pathogens. The alarming increase of multi-drug-resistant bacteria (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicilin-resistant Staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci) causes infected ...

Antimicrobial Peptides: Amphibian Host Defense Peptides

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are one of the most common components of the innate immune system that protect multicellular organisms against microbial invasion. The vast majority of AMPs are isolated from the frog skin. Anuran (frogs and toads) skin contains abundant AMPs that can be developed therapeutically.

Cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptides

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2006
Members of the cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptide family are widely distributed in nature, existing in organisms from insects to plants to mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Although many demonstrate direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, eukaryotic parasites and/or viruses, it has been established that cationic peptides ...

Host defense peptides and their antimicrobial-immunomodulatory duality

open access: yesImmunobiology, 2011
Host defence peptides (HDPs) are short cationic molecules produced by the immune systems of most multicellular organisms and play a central role as effector molecules of innate immunity. Host defence peptides have a wide range of biological activities from direct killing of invading pathogens to modulation of immunity and other biological responses of ...

Host Defense Peptides in the Oral Cavity

2008
Publisher Summary Host defense peptides (HDPs) are important in defense of tissues throughout the human mouth. Like resident microbial populations, HDPs are diverse, species-specific, and site-specific, and they have evolved in response to selection pressures exerted by resident and pathogenic microbial populations.

Host Defense Peptides in Fish

2009
In this chapter, the authors explains genetic, structural and functional relatives of non-fish host defense peptides in fish, and they devote a portion of this discussion to each of these topics. A great leap in understanding host defense peptides in fish came when genetic techniques replaced the previously-utilised tedious and expensive purification ...
