The host cytokine response to Porphyromonas gingivalis is modified by gingipains.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Clinical studies indicate that primary proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) are elevated in the gingival crevice around teeth with periodontitis but the secondary cytokines and chemokines, IL-6 and IL-8, are not. The human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) lining the gingival sulcus respond to perturbation by microbes of dental plaque by releasing a wi...
متن کاملHost-cue information processing by foraging jewel wasps: Response-bias tracking of expected host encounter rates, not modified profitabilities
Three hundred forty female jewel wasps were reared as larvae on blowfly pupae and then separately exposed as adults to varying numbers and combinations of previously parasitized and unparasitized housefly pupae. Each adult was tested with 6 fresh housefly pupae. Only foraging experience on unparasitized housefly pupae increased host acceptance for subsequent housefly pupae, producing curvilinea...
متن کاملInvolvement of the Cytokine MIF in the Snail Host Immune Response to the Parasite Schistosoma mansoni
We have identified and characterized a Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) family member in the Lophotrochozoan invertebrate, Biomphalaria glabrata, the snail intermediate host of the human blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In mammals, MIF is a widely expressed pleiotropic cytokine with potent pro-inflammatory properties that controls cell functions such as gene expression, proliferatio...
متن کاملTranscript analysis of some defense genes of tomato in response to host and non-host bacterial pathogens
The transcript levels of six defense genes including pathogenesis-related gene 1 (PR-1), pathogenesis-related gene 2 (PR-2), pathogenesis-related gene 5 (PR-5), lipoxygenase (LOX), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and catalase (CAT) were investigated in tomato plants inoculated with Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli as a non-host pathogen and X. euvesicatoria as a host pathogen. Activation o...
متن کاملCytokine kinetics and other host factors in response to pneumococcal pulmonary infection in mice.
There is a need for more insight into the pathogenesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, as the fatality rate associated with this disease remains high despite appropriate antibiotherapy. The host response to pneumococci was investigated after intranasal inoculation of CD1 mice with 10(7) log-phase CFU of bacteria. We identified five major pathogenesis steps from initial infection to death...
