Abstract

Induction of the heme-containing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by IFN-gamma is implicated in anti-microbial and pro-inflammatory activities of human macrophages. Antioxidants can modulate the expression of immune and inflammatory genes, and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a frequently used antioxidant to inhibit the transcription factor NF-kappaB. Here we show that IFN-gamma treatment of human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs) increased the proportion of oxidized glutathione. PDTC attenuated this increase and inhibited IDO activity, although it increased IDO protein expression and did not affect IDO mRNA expression and enzyme activity directly. Other antioxidants, 2-ME, ebselen, and t-butyl hydroquinone, inhibited IDO protein expression. Similar to PDTC, the heme biosynthesis inhibitor succinylacetone (SA) and the iron-chelator pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone inhibited cellular IDO activity without affecting protein expression, whereas addition of hemin or the heme precursor delta-aminolevulinic acid increased IDO activity. Also, incubation of IFN-gamma-activated hMDM with delta-[(14)C]-aminolevulinic acid resulted in the incorporation of label into immunoprecipitated IDO, a process inhibited by PDTC and SA.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
