View SamplesBearing in mind the prevalent occurrence of sulfur deficiency in soils, it is highly essential to comprehend the molecular processes of plant response to the changing conditions of sulfur nutrition. As there is an increasing understanding of ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation system participation in nutrient deficiency response, we could predict its input to the sulfur metabolism as well. Therefore, we decided to investigate the consequences of proteasome malfunction in Arabidopsis in sulfur deficient conditions.

View SamplesObjective Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blocker, and amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, are antihypertensive agents clinically used as monotherapy or in combination. They exert beneficial cardiovascular effects independently of blood pressure lowering and classic mechanisms of action. In this study, we investigate molecular mechanisms responsible for the off-target effects of telmisartan and telmisartan-amlodipine in endothelial cells (EC), using an unbiased approach.
Telmisartan exerts pleiotropic effects in endothelial cells and promotes endothelial cell quiescence and survival.

View SamplesThe goal of this experiment was to examine the innate immune response to helminth infection in the lung. Hookworms (like many other helminths) use an obligate migration pathway through the lung. Their infection has been characterized in the gut in detail, but early immune responses in the lung have not been fully characterized.
Innate immune responses to lung-stage helminth infection induce alternatively activated alveolar macrophages.

Here, we performed comprehensive gene expression profiling of cholangiocarcinoma tumors arising from bile duct inoculation of different grade malignant rat cholangiocytes.

View SamplesInfection with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis results in persistent changes to the lung environment. Cytokine profiling reveals a sustained increase in both Th1 and Th2 transcripts. Cellular populations of macrophages display an alternative phenotype, with upregulation of YM1, Arg1, Mrc1 as well as Class II MHC. These alternatively activated alveolar macrophages (AAAMs) also increase drastically in number. Subsequent challenge with house dust mite (HDM) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus shows a reduced allergic phenotype, with decreased fold changes in effector cell cytokines of both the Th1 and Th2 variety indicative of the new regulatory environment established in the lung by helminth infection. Histological examination of the lung environment reveals a significant decrease in eosinophila and reduced mucous production by bronchial epithelial cells.
