Bordetella parapertussis Survives inside Human Macrophages in Lipid Raft-Enriched Phagosomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Bordetella parapertussis is a human pathogen that causes whooping cough. The increasing incidence of B. parapertussis has been attributed to the lack of cross protection induced by pertussis vaccines. It was previously shown that B. parapertussis is able

Proteomic Profiling of Alveolar Macrophages Identifies Loss of Lysosomal Content as an Indicator of Nanofiber‐Induced Frustrated Phagocytosis

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This proteomic study examines how nanofibers affect lung macrophages by analyzing protein changes following exposure to various fibrous materials. Nanofibers triggered the release of inflammatory enzymes, and importantly, lysosomal content release was identified as an early event associated with frustrated phagocytosis. Seventeen sensitive and relevant

A Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis predicted serine protease is associated with acid stress and intraphagosomal survival

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
The ability to maintain intra-cellular pH is crucial for bacteria and other microbes to survive in diverse environments, particularly those that undergo fluctuations in pH.

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Identification of genetically predicted protein biomarkers and drug targets for prostate cancer via Mendelian randomization

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer, a leading cause of cancer in men globally, urgently requires improved diagnostic and treatment strategies. This study analyzed large genetic datasets and identified five key proteins (THBD, DST, IFI27L2, OSBPL10, PPP1R14A) that either increase or decrease cancer risk, while also exploring their roles in immune response and potential ...

Oral Immunotherapy Induces Shift in lncRNA Expression Modulating Allergen‐Specific Immune Responses

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
We used PBMC transcriptome from 50 hen's egg‐allergic patients to study the role of lncRNA in OIT. Positive correlation was found between 17 lncRNAs and the IL‐4/IL‐13 pathway in vivo, and the expression of the selected lncRNA aligned with CXCL8 upon PBMC egg‐restimulation.

Effects of cyclic adenosine 3,5-monophosphate on photoreceptor disc shedding and retinomotor movement. Inhibition of rod shedding and stimulation of cone elongation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
As a test of the hypothesis that cyclic nucleotides play a role in the regulation of retinomotor movements and disc shedding in the photoreceptor-pigment epithelial complex, we have used an in vitro eyecup preparation that sustains both disc shedding and

The zipper mechanism in phagocytosis: energetic requirements and variability in phagocytic cup shape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Phagocytosis is the fundamental cellular process by which eukaryotic cells bind and engulf particles by their cell membrane. Particle engulfment involves particle recognition by cell-surface receptors, signaling and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton ...

Modified cytoskeletal and extracellular matrix composition in the canine testis after long‐acting gonadotropin‐releasing hormone agonist deslorelin treatment

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Long‐acting gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are commonly used for fertility control in male dogs. Their effect on testicular histomorphology has not been clarified. Objectives To elucidate the mechanisms underlying androgen withdrawal in response to long‐acting GnRH agonist deslorelin 4.7 mg treatment on testicular ...
