Abstract

Oral infection is inflammatory disease caused by bacteria. A major component of gram negative bacteria membrane associated with inflammation is lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Currently, evidence presenting the combined effect of LPS and hypoxia to inflammatory response in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLs) was yet lacking. Here, we studied whether the influence of oxygen on LPS-stimulated inflammatory cytokines in HPDLs. HPDLs were stimulated with LPS in normoxia and hypoxia for 24 h. The mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory cytokines were examined by polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The intracellular mechanisms of these effects were investigated by chemical inhibitors and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The results showed that LPS-stimulated IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 in HPDLs in both hypoxia and normoxia. Hypoxia condition enhanced the effect of LPS-stimulated cytokines expression. Apigenin, the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1α inhibitor, totally prevented LPS-stimulated IL-1β expression in both normoxia and hypoxia. Similar to knockout HIF-1α gene expression by siRNA did \not prevent LPS-stimulated IL-1β expression. These data concluded that hypoxia increased virulence of LPS-sti...Continue Reading

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. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
