Differential Gene-Expression of Metallothionein 1M and 1G in Response to Zinc in Sertoli TM4 Cells
Background: Zinc (Zn) as an important trace element is essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. Molecular mechanism of Zn action in the reproductive system may be related to metal binding low-molecular weight proteins, metallothioneins (MT). Our objective was to determine the effect of Zn on two important isoforms of MT, MT1M and MT1G genes expression on testicular sertoli cell...
متن کاملGut Immunity: A NOD to the Commensals
The gut microbiota play critical roles in intestinal function, but the mechanisms involved remain obscure. Recent studies suggest that commensal bacteria promote immune homeostasis via the innate immune receptor Nod1.
متن کاملYeasts in the gut: from commensals to infectious agents.
BACKGROUND Controversy still surrounds the question whether yeasts found in the gut are causally related to disease, constitute a health hazard, or require treatment. METHODS The authors present the state of knowledge in this area on the basis of a selective review of articles retrieved by a PubMed search from 2005 onward. The therapeutic recommendations follow the current national and intern...
متن کاملPaneth cells directly sense gut commensals and maintain homeostasis at the intestinal host-microbial interface.
The intestinal epithelium is in direct contact with a vast microbiota, yet little is known about how epithelial cells defend the host against the heavy bacterial load. To address this question we studied Paneth cells, a key small intestinal epithelial lineage. We found that Paneth cells directly sense enteric bacteria through cell-autonomous MyD88-dependent toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, ...
متن کاملAre Human Intestinal Eukaryotes Beneficial or Commensals?
Since the advent of microbiology, it has been well known that each human body hosts a multitude of microbes. The magnitude of our microbial system is best reflected by the widely discussed ratio of one human cell to ten microbes. Indeed, humans and other mammals live in a consortium composed of vast arrays of viruses (these are typically called the virome), archaea and bacteria (i.e., the micro...
