چکیده

pathogens infecting mammalian cells have developed various strategies to suppress and evade their hosts’ defensive mechanisms. in this line, the intracellular bacteria that are able to survive and propagate within their host cells must have developed strategies to avert their host’s killing attitude. studying the interface of host-pathogen confrontation can provide valuable information for defining therapeutic approaches. brucellosis, caused by the brucella strains, is a zoonotic bacterial disease that affects thousands of humansand animals around the world inflicting discomfort and huge economic losses. similar to many other intracellular dwelling bacteria, infections caused by brucella are difficult to treat, and hence any attempt at identifying new and common therapeutic targets would prove beneficial for the purpose of curing infections caused by the intracellular bacteria. in thp-1 macrophage infected with brucella melitensis we studied the expression levels of four host’s genes, i.e. emp2, st8sia4, hcp5 and frmd5 known to be involved in pathogenesis of mycobacterium tuberculosis. our data showed that at this molecular level, except for frmd5 that was downregulated, the other three genes were upregulated by b. melitensis. brucella melitensis and m. tuberculosis go through similar intracellular processes and interestingly two of the investigated genes, i.e. emp2 and st4sia8 were upregulated in thp-1 cell infected with b. melitensis similar to that reported for thp-1 cells infected with m. tuberculosis. at the host-pathogen interaction interface, this study depicts overlapping changes for different bacteria with common survival strategies; a fact that implies designingtherapeutic approaches based on common targets may be possible.

Isolation, cloning and expression of the Brucella melitensis Omp31 gene

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease transmitted to humans either from animals or from their products.Although brucellosis can be found worldwide, the Mediterranean Basin, South and Central America, EasternEurope, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East have currently been listed as high-risk regions. Thegenus Brucella is classified in at least nine species. Brucella melitensis is the glo...

Cross-immunity between Brucella Melitensis and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

A non-specific element has been demonstrated in the resistance of monocytes derived from immunized rabbits. Vaccination by BCG or by an effective anti-brucellosis reagent induces protection in either case against both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Brucella melitensis when studied by the monocyte culture method. The activity of the antiserum required to demonstrate the resistance of the monocyt...

Host gene expression for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in human THP-1 macrophages.

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease, which causes considerable economic loss in the dairy industry and has a possible relationship to Crohn's disease (CD) in humans. As MAP has been detected in retail pasteurized milk samples, its transmission via milk is of concern. Despite its possible role in the etiology of CD, there have been few stud...

Analysis of Differentially Expressed Proteins in Mycobacterium avium-Infected Macrophages Comparing with Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Infected Macrophages

Mycobacterium avium (MA) belongs to the intracellular parasitic bacteria. To better understand how MA survives within macrophages and the different pathogenic mechanisms of MA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), tandem mass tag (TMT) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis have been used to determine the proteins which are differentially expressed in MA-infected...
