Abstract

Resveratrol shows the ability to block prion replication in a scrapie-infected cell line, SMB-S15, and remove the infectivity of the treated cell lysates in an experimental bioassay. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of three stilbene compounds, resveratrol (Res), pterostilbene (Pte), and piceatannol (Pic), on inhibiting prion propagations in the levels of cell culture, PMCA, and RT-QuIC. All three chemicals showed active suppressions on PrPSc replication in SMB-S15 cells, in which Res seemed to be the most active one, followed by Pic and Pte. Mouse PrP-based PMCA tests using the lysates of SMB-S15 cells and brain homogenates of scrapie agents S15-, 139A-, or ME7-infected mice verified that Res, Pte, and Pic inhibited the amplifications of PK-resistant signals. Res was also the most effective one. Mouse PrP-based RT-QuIC using the above seeds demonstrated that three stilbenes efficiently inhibited the fibril formation. However, Pic was the most effective one, followed by Res and Pte. Furthermore, the inhibition activities of the three stilbenes on the brain-derived prion from a 263K-infected hamster were tested with hamster PrP-based PMCA and RT-QuIC. The results indicated that Pic was the most effective one apparent...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.
