Genetic and Chemical Genetic Approaches to Shiga Toxin Inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Infection with Shiga toxin-producing bacteria can place patients at risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome, a toxemic condition characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure.

A new branch of mammalian vitamin B6 metabolism: AKR1C‐mediated conversion of pyridoxal to pyridoxine and 4‐pyridoxolactone

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pyridoxal 5′‐phosphate (PLP) homeostasis relies on salvage enzymes, yet key metabolic branches remain undefined. We identify AKR1C isozymes as previously undescribed contributors that convert pyridoxal into pyridoxine or 4‐pyridoxolactone through reductase and dehydrogenase activities.

Prevalence and serotypes of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in dairy cattle from Northern Portugal.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The prevalence of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) was determined by evaluating its presence in faecal samples from 155 heifers, and 254 dairy cows in 21 farms at North of Portugal sampled between December 2017 and June 2019.

GA enhances Shiga toxin localization to the Golgi. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
(A) HEp-2 cells were treated with 10 μM GA for 30 min before ~100 ng/ml Shiga toxin 1 mutant was added and the incubation continued for 30 min. Subsequently, cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with antibodies against Shiga toxin (magenta) and ...

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Approaches to treatment of emerging Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections highlighting the O104:H4 serotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a group of diarrheagenic bacteria associated with foodborne outbreaks. Infection with these agents may result in grave sequelae that include fatality.

Ligand binding represses bacterial histidine kinase activity by inhibiting its dimerization

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PdtaS is a kinase in the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that senses copper and nitric oxide and controls virulence gene expression, but how the kinase senses these compounds was unclear. We show that PdtaS is active as a dimer with each monomer phosphorylating the other in trans.

Investigation of an outbreak of bloody diarrhea complicated with hemolytic uremic syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Epidemiology and Global Health, 2019
In July–August 2009, eight patients with bloody diarrhea complicated by hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) were admitted to hospitals in Tbilisi, Georgia. We started active surveillance in two regions for bloody diarrhea and post-diarrheal HUS.

The Interplay of M1 Macrophages and Dental Pulp Stem Cells Promotes Angiogenesis Through IL‐8‐Dependent VEGF Regulation: An In Vitro Study

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp inflammation triggers immune responses involving macrophages and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which interact to regulate angiogenesis essential for tissue repair. M1 pro‐inflammatory macrophages predominate early in pulpitis, and clarifying their angiogenic role is vital in identifying inflammatory regenerative ...

Identification of Novel Therapeutic Agent Candidates Through High Throughput Screening With Chemical Library Based on Molecular Subclassification in Canine Histiocytic Sarcoma Cell Lines

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective chemotherapy for canine histiocytic sarcoma (CHS) has yet to be established. In our previous study, CHS cell lines were subclassified into two groups based on their gene expression profiles: Group A and Group B. This study aimed to identify novel therapeutic agents that are effective against each CHS subgroup, and we performed high ...
