Geldanamycin Enhances Retrograde Transport of Shiga Toxin in HEp-2 Cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) has been shown to alter endosomal sorting, diverting cargo destined for the recycling pathway into the lysosomal pathway. Here we investigated whether GA also affects the sorting of cargo into

Escherichia coli Shiga Toxin Mechanisms of Action in Renal Disease

open access: yesToxins, 2010
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is a contaminant of food and water that in humans causes a diarrheal prodrome followed by more severe disease of the kidneys and an array of symptoms of the central nervous system.

A method for detecting Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxin-l in pure and mixed culture [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 1990
Shiga toxin and Shiga-like toxins (SLTs, syn. Verotoxins) are currently detected by tissue culture assays that are expensive, time-consuming and require specialised facilities and experienced personnel. We have developed a rapid method to detect Shiga toxin and SLT-I (Verotoxin 1) based on their binding to globotriosyl ceramide (Gb3).

Shiga Toxin—A Model for Glycolipid-Dependent and Lectin-Driven Endocytosis

open access: yesToxins, 2017
The cellular entry of the bacterial Shiga toxin and the related verotoxins has been scrutinized in quite some detail. This is due to their importance as a threat to human health.

A brief overview of emergencies and dissemination of Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 in humans and food producing animals

open access: yesArchives of Veterinary Medicine, 2020
Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (STDT104) are foodborne pathogens of public health significance.

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment

open access: yes, 2013
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Public health implications of a case of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome associated with a concomitant outbreak of mild gastroenteritis in a small rural community. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The concomitant occurrence of a case of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) and 62 cases of mild gastroenteritis in schools of a small rural community in southern Italy induced the health authorities to suspect a foodborne outbreak of shiga-toxin-producing

Nitric oxide‐enhanced Shiga toxin production was regulated by Fur and RecA in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2017
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) produces Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2). Nitric oxide (NO), which acts as an antimicrobial defense molecule, was found to enhance the production of Stx1 and Stx2 in EHEC under anaerobic conditions.

Targeting ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 Ameliorates Diabetic Kidney Disease by Reducing Lipotoxicity, Alleviating Inflammation and Inhibiting Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual targeting of ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 attenuates diabetic kidney disease by reprogramming lipid–inflammatory crosstalk. This strategy reduces renal lipotoxicity, suppresses inflammatory activation, and limits fibrotic remodeling, thereby preserving kidney structure and function and highlighting a mechanism‐guided therapeutic approach for metabolic ...

Characterization of Shiga Toxin Subtypes and Virulence Genes in Porcine Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Similar to ruminants, swine have been shown to be a reservoir for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), and pork products have been linked with outbreaks associated with STEC O157 and O111:H-. STEC strains, isolated in a previous study from fecal samples of late-finisher pigs, belonged to a total of 56 serotypes, including O15:H27, O91:H14 ...
