Abstract

Two rare strains of Proteus mirabilis with swarming migration deficiency were isolated from urine samples of two patients with urinary tract infections and were named as G121 and G137. Migration experiments showed that P. mirabilis HI4320 had typical migration on blood agar, while G121 and G137 had significantly weakened migration ability. Results of adhesion tests showed that the adhesion ability of G121 and G137 to the bladder epithelial cell line 5637 was significantly reduced. High-throughput sequencing and alignment analysis of the transcriptomes of the three P. mirabilis strains were conducted, with P. mirabilis HI4320 as the reference strain. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to verify differentially expressed genes. Results of transcriptome analysis and RT-qPCR showed that, compared to the HI4320 strain, genes related to flagellum and fimbria formation, dicarboxylate transport, and cystathionine and anthranilate metabolism were down-regulated in G121 and G137, while genes related to iron transport, molybdenum metabolism, and metalloprotease were up-regulated, suggesting that these genes may be involved in the migration ability and epithelial cell adhesion ability of P. mirabilis. These results pr...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Biophysics of Adhesion

Alterations in cell adhesion can disrupt important cellular processes and lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and arthritis. It is also essential for infectious organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to cause diseases. Understanding the biophysics of cell adhesion can help understand these diseases. Discover the latest research on the biophysics of adhesion here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
