Abstract

The liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini, is the risk factor of cholangiocarcinoma, which is a major health problem in northeastern Thailand. Production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species during the host's response leads to oxidative and nitrosative stress contributing to carcinogenesis. We investigated the protective effect of melatonin against O. viverrini-induced oxidative and nitrosative stress and liver injury. Hamsters were infected with O. viverrini followed by oral administration of various doses of melatonin (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg body weight) for 30 days. Uninfected hamsters served as controls. Compared to the levels in O. viverrini-infected hamsters without melatonin treatment, the indoleamine decreased the formation of oxidative and nitrosative DNA lesions, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine and 8-nitroguanine, in the nucleus of bile duct epithelium and inflammatory cells, in parallel with a reduction in 3-nitrotyrosine. Melatonin also reduced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 and cytokeratin 19, nitrate/nitrite levels, and bile duct proliferation in the liver. Alanine transaminase activity and the levels of 8-isoprostane and vitamin E were also dose dependently decreased in the plasma of melatonin-treated hamst...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.

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.
