Analysis of miR‐10a and IFNG Expression Before and After Treatment for Chronic Schistosomiasis mansoni [PDF]

Parasite Immunol
ABSTRACT Mir‐10a acts in signalling pathways regulating transcription, translation, and RNA‐mediated gene silencing, while IFNG acts in the T‐cell receptor signalling pathway. Thus, both can be considered potential targets for understanding regulatory processes in chronic inflammation in patients with schistosomiasis.

Pharmacological Inhibition of c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Activity Exacerbates Liver Damage in Schistosoma mansoni Infected Mice. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting more than 250 million people worldwide. Eggs of the parasitic helminth S. mansoni cause major morbidity in the liver, spleen and intestine. Of note, egg‐released soluble antigens (SEA) induce the transcription factor c‐Jun in hepatocytes, promoting hepatocellular ...
