Epigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection
Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...
متن کاملThe Bacterial Factor in Traumatic Shock
THE BACTERIAL FACTOR IN TRAUMATIC SHOCK. By Jacob Fine. Springfield, Ill., Charles C Thomas, 1954. 82 pp. $2.75. This short monograph presents the point of view of a group of investigators at Harvard who have been conducting animal experiments on the problem of shock during the past decade. The initial chapters review and reject various theories which have been offered to explain the phenomenon...
متن کاملTNF in host resistance to tuberculosis infection.
TNF is essential to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and cannot be replaced by other proinflammatory cytokines. Overproduction of TNF may cause immunopathology, while defective TNF production results in uncontrolled infection. The critical role of TNF in the control of tuberculosis has been illustrated recently by primary and reactivation of latent infection in some patients under p...
متن کاملHormones and host resistance to infection.
As biologic organization became increasingly complex during the evolutionary process, evidently survival value became attached to the development of hormonally mediated regulatory mechanisms. It would not be surprising to find that as mechanisms of resistance to infection also became more complex, these also came under hormonal influence to some degree. Thus, the study of the influence of hormo...
متن کاملDendritic cells and host resistance to infection.
Host defence against infection requires an integrated response of both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Emerging data indicate that dendritic cells contribute an essential part to the initiation and regulation of adaptive immunity. Dendritic cells guard the sites of pathogen entry to the host and are uniquely suited to detect and capture invading microbes. Upon recognition of ...
