Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene expression profiling within the context of protein networks

Microbes and Infection

Abstract

As one of the world's most successful intracellular pathogens, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis, is responsible for two to three million deaths annually. The pathogenicity of M. tuberculosis relies on its ability to survive and persist within host macrophage cells during infection. It is of central importance, therefore, to identify genes and pathways that are involved in the survival and persistence of M. tuberculosis within these cells. Utilizing genome-wide DNA arrays we have identified M. tuberculosis genes that are specifically induced during macrophage infection. To better understand the cellular context of these differentially expressed genes, we have also combined our array analyses with computational methods of protein network identification. Our combined approach reveals certain signatures of M. tuberculosis residing within macrophage cells, including the induction of genes involved in DNA damage repair, fatty acid degradation, iron metabolism, and cell wall metabolism.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
