EspC forms a filamentous structure in the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and impacts ESX-1 secretion

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Jan Lars Rybniker, Ye Lou

Pathogenicity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) is mediated by the ESX-1 secretion system, which exports EsxA and EsxB, the major virulence factors that are co-secreted with EspA and EspC. Functional information about ESX-1 components is scarce. Here, ...

Use of VacA as a Vaccine Antigen

Dominique Velin, Mati André Marie Moyat

One of the major toxins secreted by H. pylori is the Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) named after its ability to induce the formation of "vacuole"-like membrane vesicles in the cytoplasm of gastric cells. VacA has been associated with the disruption of mitoc ...

A novel two-compartment barrier model for investigating nanoparticle transport in fish intestinal epithelial cells

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg

We introduce a novel in vitro rainbow trout intestinal barrier model and demonstrate its suitability for investigating nanoparticle transport across the intestinal epithelium. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) intestinal cells (RTgutGC) were grown as mon ...

Magnetoelectric micromachines with wirelessly controlled navigation and functionality

Mahmut Selman Sakar

The use of a single energy source for both manipulating micromachines and triggering their functionalities will result in highly integrated devices and simplify the design of the controlling platform. Here, we demonstrate this concept employing magnetoelec ...

Bile Acids Trigger GLP-1 Release Predominantly by Accessing Basolaterally Located G Protein-Coupled Bile Acid Receptors

Kristina Schoonjans

Bile acids are well-recognized stimuli of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. This action has been attributed to activation of the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor GPBAR1 (TGR5), although other potential bile acid sensors include the nuclear far ...

Lansoprazole is an antituberculous prodrug targeting cytochrome bc1

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Philippe Busso, Jan Lars Rybniker

Better antibiotics capable of killing multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis are urgently needed. Despite extensive drug discovery efforts, only a few promising candidates are on the horizon and alternative screening protocols are required. Here, ...

Differential stress reaction of human colon cells to oleic-acid-stabilized and unstabilized ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles

Therapeutic engineered nanoparticles (NPs), including ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) NPs, may accumulate in the lower digestive tract following ingestion or injection. In order to evaluate the reaction of human colon cells to USPIO NPs, th ...

Systems Toxicology Approach to Understand the Kinetics of Benzo(a)pyrene Uptake, Biotransformation, and DNA Adduct Formation in a Liver Cell Model

Kristin Schirmer

Cell-based models are important for deriving mechanistic information about stress response pathways that have evolved to protect cells from toxic insult, such as exposure to environmental pollutants. One determinant of the stress response is the amount of ...

Biliverdin Reductase-A correlates with inducible nitric oxide synthasein in atorvastatin treated aged canine brain

Eugenio Barone

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and neuropathology. Recent preclinical and epidemiological studies proposed statins as a possible therapeutic drug for Alzheimer's disease, but the exact ...

Lentiviral vectors express chondroitinase ABC in cortical projections and promote sprouting of injured corticospinal axons

Bernard Schneider, Jean-Charles Bensadoun

Several diseases and injuries of the central nervous system could potentially be treated by delivery of an enzyme, which might most effectively be achieved by gene therapy. In particular, the bacterial enzyme chondroitinase ABC is beneficial in animal mode ...
