Intralesional gene expression profile of JAK-STAT signaling pathway and associated cytokines in Leishmania tropica-infected patients

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundThe JAK-STAT signaling pathway is a central cascade of signal transduction for the myriad of cytokines in which dysregulation has been implicated in progression of inflammatory and infectious diseases.

Genetic, serological and biochemical characterization of Leishmania tropica from foci in northern Palestine and discovery of zymodeme MON-307 [PDF]

, 2012
Background Many cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) have been recorded in the Jenin District based on their clinical appearance. Here, their parasites have been characterized in depth.

Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Integrated analysis of lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions caused by Leishmania tropica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundCutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), caused by Leishmania (L.) species, remains a neglected tropical disease in many developing countries. We and others have shown that different Leishmania species can alter the gene expression profile of human host ...

Steroid‐responsive generalised sterile necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis in a cat

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
A 1.5‐year‐old neutered male cat was presented with fever, inappetence, lethargy and marked generalised lymphadenopathy of 4 days duration. Excisional biopsy of peripheral lymph nodes revealed necrotising pyogranulomatous lymphadenitis. Extensive investigation failed to identify an underlying infectious [bacterial (Bartonella, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma,

Posttranslational modifications of heterologous proteins expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The success of Nicotiana benthamiana as a workhorse for heterologous protein production is closely linked to its accessibility and tolerance to genetic manipulation, allowing efficient engineering of posttranslational protein modifications (PTMs) that are critical for the function and stability of heterologous proteins.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of thiazole derivatives as LbSOD inhibitors

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Leishmaniasis is considered as one of the major neglected tropical diseases due to its magnitude and wide geographic distribution. Leishmania braziliensis, responsible for cutaneous leishmaniasis, is the most prevalent species in Brazil.

Developing giant plasma membrane vesicles from Leishmania cells to investigate the role of membrane proteins in photodynamic inactivation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...
