Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]

, 1996
Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine the clinico‐demographic profile and predictors of mortality in hospitalised children with diphtheria. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 202 children aged 5–16 years diagnosed with diphtheria per WHO criteria at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January 2023 to December 2024. Data on demographics, vaccination

Adaptation of Bordetella pertussis to Vaccination: A Cause for Its Reemergence?

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
In The Netherlands, as in many other western countries, pertussis vaccines have been used extensively for more than 40 years. Therefore, it is conceivable that vaccine-induced immunity has affected the evolution of B. pertussis.

Pertussis toxin is required for pertussis vaccine encephalopathy. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985
A mouse model for encephalopathy induced by pertussis immunization has been described; it has features that closely resemble some of the severe reactions, including seizures and a shock-like state leading to death, occasionally seen after administration of Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine.

Evidence that 5‐HT2A receptor signalling efficacy and not biased agonism differentiates serotonergic psychedelic from non‐psychedelic drugs

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Serotonergic psychedelic drugs are under investigation as therapies for various psychiatric disorders, including major depression. Although serotonergic psychedelic drugs are 5‐HT2A receptor agonists, some such agonists are not psychedelic, potentially due to differences in 5‐HT2A receptor ligand bias or signalling efficacy. Here,

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, evolved from a distinct, human-associated lineage of B. bronchiseptica.

PLoS Pathogens, 2005
Bordetella pertussis, B. bronchiseptica, B. parapertussis(hu), and B. parapertussis(ov) are closely related respiratory pathogens that infect mammalian species. B. pertussis and B.

Primary cilia elongation in response to interleukin-1 mediates the inflammatory response [PDF]

, 2012
Primary cilia are singular, cytoskeletal organelles present in the majority of mammalian cell types where they function as coordinating centres for mechanotransduction, Wnt and hedgehog signalling. The length of the primary cilium is proposed to modulate

Profiling of HCAR1 signalling reveals Gαi/o and Gαs activation without β‐arrestin recruitment and the discovery of an allosteric agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Lactate, historically viewed as a metabolic by‐product, has emerged as a signalling molecule via the G protein–coupled receptor Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 1 (HCAR1). The receptor is primarily expressed in adipocytes but also found in various other tissues.

Less reactogenic whole-cell pertussis vaccine confers protection from Bordetella pertussis infection

mSphere
Pertussis resurged over the last decade in most countries that replaced the traditional whole-cell pertussis vaccines (wP) by the less reactogenic acellular pertussis vaccines (aP).
