  Introduction Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, affects skin, peripheral nerves and upper respiratory tract [1]. Although leprosy has been eradicated from most of the countries, it still affects approximately a quarter of a million people from India [2]. Details of many bacteriol

  2019-08-02

  

  The combination of brequinar and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been evaluated to assess whether brequinar-induced uridine depletion would improve 5-FU activity. In cells, 5-FU is metabolized into FdUMP and inhibits thymidylate synthetase, which catalyzes the formation of thymidine monophosphate from deo

  Experimental All starting materials and reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Merck and Loba Chemie. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel G60 F254 (Merck) plates and eluted with the mobile phase n-hexane: ethyl acetate (70:30%v/v). Melting points were recorded on auto

  2019-08-01

  

  Given that CE plays an essential role in schistosome invasion, its immunoreactivity and protective potential is of significant interest. The native form of SmCE was found to be poorly immunogenic in immunized mice. An earlier study found that sera from S. mansoni patients have shown the presence of

  Materials and methods Results Discussion Macrophages and dendritic cells respond to Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands by upregulating CH25H expression [4], [5]. In the latter cell type TLR-dependent upregulation is mediated via a signalling pathway that involves NFκB and IFNβ secretion and c

  Conclusion Introduction Biological wastewater treatment is targeted towards the removal of phosphorous, nitrogen and organic substances by the metabolic activity of a diverse activated sludge microbial community. More precisely, it is based on the versatile catalytic activity of the microbial

  2019-08-01

  

  All DGKs have at least two cysteine-rich regions homologous to the C1A and C1B motifs of PKCs [26]. In theory, these domains may bind DAG, perhaps localizing DGKs to where DAG accumulates. However, no DGK C1 domain has so far been conclusively shown to bind DAG. In fact, structural predictions sugge

  2019-07-31

  

  Previous studies demonstrated that cPLA2α translocates to the phagosomal membrane during macrophage phagocytosis through mechanisms that, in humans, involve phosphorylation of the enzyme by c-Jun N-terminal kinases and membrane association via the cationic cluster of four lysine residues present at

• Nrf and HO are key factors in the regulation

  2019-07-31

  

  Nrf2 and HO-1 are key factors in the regulation of oxidative stress in the body. Research has shown that KLF2 can activate Nrf2 and HO-1 [14]. To investigate the mechanisms by which KLF2 regulates eNOS uncoupling and oxidative stress, Nrf2 was inhibited or HO-1 was knocked down in KLF2 overexpressin

  Transcription can also be impaired by lesions in the template DNA strand, which may lead to stalling of RNA polymerase (RNAP) or to transcriptional mutagenesis, thus producing mutant RNAs and proteins [[3], [4], [5], [6], [7]]. At the same time, RNAP can act as a sensor for DNA lesions, by attractin

  Data from our in vitro studies using BEAS-2B cells showed a biphasic response of cells to NNK. The initial phase of decrease in CRM1 expression in NNK-exposed cells was observed in our previous study. In this study, we further showed that p-p53 (Thr55) expression was also decreased during this initi
