Outer-Membrane-Vesicle-Associated O Antigen, a Crucial Component for Protecting Against Bordetella parapertussis Infection [PDF]

, 2018
Bordetella parapertussis is a respiratory-disease pathogen producing symptomatology similar to that of pertussis but of underestimated incidence and with no specific vaccine existing. We recently designed a vaccine candidate from B.

High‐Throughput Screening Reveals That CeeNU Acts as a New NLRP3 Inflammasome Inhibitor

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
We conducted a high‐throughput screen of 2747 FDA‐approved drugs to identify inhibitors of pyroptosis. We found that CeeNU significantly repressed NLRP3‐dependent IL‐1β release and GSDMD pore‐forming complex. We identified that the arginine 335 amino acid of the NACHT domain of NLRP3 is the critical point for human NLRP3 and CeeNU interaction and ...

Allelic variations between vaccine strains and circulating strains in pxtP of Bordetella pertussis in Iran

Vaccine Research, 2015
Introduction: Despite high level of vaccination against pertussis‚ whooping cough has re-emerged as a health threat, especially in infants. This could be related to expansion of Bordetella pertussis with novel alleles for virulence factors including the ...

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, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2219-2235, May 2026.
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.

Intranasal application of a bifunctional pertactin-RTX fusion antigen elicits protection of mouse airway mucosa against Bordetella pertussis colonization

mSphere
The adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT, AC-Hly, or CyaA) plays a key role in airway infections by Bordetella pertussis and ablates the oxidative burst and opsonophagocytic capacity of sentinel phagocytes.

Targeted elimination of G proteins and arrestins defines their specific contributions to both intensity and duration of G protein-coupled receptor signalling [PDF]

, 2016
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can initiate intracellular signalling cascades by coupling to an array of heterotrimeric G proteins and arrestin adaptor proteins. Understanding the contribution of each of these coupling options to GPCR signalling has

A role for epithelium‐derived 6‐nitrodopamine on human ureter contractility

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2360-2375, May 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose To investigate the basal release of 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) from human isolated ureter and the role of this novel catecholamine in the ureter contractility. Experimental Approach Ureters from 67 brain‐dead organ donors (40 males and 27 females) were used during kidney transplantation procedures.

Effect of monoclonal antibody to pertussis toxin on toxin activity [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
Two distinct monoclonal antibodies, one to pertussis toxin subunit S2, called 9G8, and another to subunits S2 and S3, called 11E6, were generated from the hybridomas of myeloma SP2/0 and spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunized mainly with the subunit S234 complex.

Seroprevalence of diphtheria and pertussis immunoglobulin G among children with pneumonia in Ji’nan, China

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Vaccination is still one of the most important methods to control and prevent childhood infections including diphtheria and pertussis. This study evaluated the level of diphtheria (DT) and pertussis (PT)-related antibodies among children with ...
