The role of bacterial adhesion to epithelial cells in pathogenesis
Colonizing host epithelia represents a formidable challenge to bacterial pathogens. To a large extent, epithelial surfaces are designed to shield the multicellular organism from the environment and to protect the body interior from potentially harmful microbes. Where epithelial surfaces permit exchange of molecular components with the external world, a multitude of innate and acquired host defe...
متن کاملIn vitro assay of bacterial adhesion onto mammalian epithelial cells.
To cause infections, bacteria must colonize their host. Bacterial pathogens express various molecules or structures able to promote attachment to host cells(1). These adhesins rely on interactions with host cell surface receptors or soluble proteins acting as a bridge between bacteria and host. Adhesion is a critical first step prior to invasion and/or secretion of toxins, thus it is a key even...
متن کاملPathogenic interactions between Helicobacter pylori adhesion protein HopQ and human cell surface adhesion molecules CEACAMs in gastric epithelial cells
Objective(s): The present paper aims to review the studies describing the interactions between HopQ and CEACAMs along with possible mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori.Materials and Methods: The literature was searched on “PubMed” using different key words including Helicobacter pylori, CEACAM and gastric.<br ...
متن کاملRole of pH on Adhesion of Trichomonas Vaginalis Isolated from Symptomatic & Asymptomatic Women to Vaginal Epithelial Cells in Vitro
Background: Vaginal epithelium is the most important site for initial contact of the parasite infection in humans. Objective: To investigate the effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) and pH on attachment of T. vaginalis isolated from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients to vaginal epithelial cells (VECs). Methods: Following 1-4 hrs contact of parasite with VECs, wet mounts were prepared and...
متن کاملAdhesion between dendritic cells and epithelial cells maintains the gut barrier during bacterial sampling.
The intimate nature of the cellular interactions that occur in the gut epithelium where the mucosal immune system interfaces with the external environment is the subject of this fascinating paper by Rescigno et al. Dendritic cells (DCs ) are arguably the most important cell type in the immune system. Although bewilderingly heterogeneous in phenotype and function, they are the only antigen prese...
