Abstract

This experiment was carried out in order to prove the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and the nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse macrophage cells (RAW264) which were stimulated by vesicles released from Porphyromonas gingivalis, and discussed about the role of vesicles in advance periodontal diseases. Production of NO(2) (-) in RAW264 cells was investigated after 0, 1, 3, 6 and 12h of stimulation with P. gingivalis vesicles. NO was analyzed by HPLC-based flow reactor system with Griess reagent. The cells stained by the enzyme-labeled antibody method, after being stimulated with vesicles for 12h. The iNOS proteins, which were expressed in RAW264 cells after 12h of stimulation with vesicles, were detected by western blot. When stimulated with vesicles from W83 and from ATCC33277, the RAW264 cells produced NO, but cell proteins that came in contact with the vesicles were degraded by protease activities in vesicles. When stimulated with vesicles from gingipain-deficient mutant strain KDP136, the RAW264 cells produced NO, but the quality was about 60%, compared with the vesicles from ATCC33277. The results suggest that vesicles are not only just a part of bacterial component, but also are a toxic complex of lipo...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.
