The TvLEGU-1, a Legumain-Like Cysteine Proteinase, Plays a Key Role in Trichomonas vaginalis Cytoadherence
The goal of this paper was to characterize a Trichomonas vaginalis cysteine proteinase (CP) legumain-1 (TvLEGU-1) and determine its potential role as a virulence factor during T. vaginalis infection. A 30-kDa band, which migrates in three protein spots (pI~6.3, ~6.5, and ~6.7) with a different type and level of phosphorylation, was identified as TvLEGU-1 by one- and two-dimensional Western blot...
متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis
We have investigated the effects of a novel neutrophil-activating factor released by Trichomonas vaginalis (TV-NAF) on neutrophil chemotaxis. TV-NAF was present in the supernatant from 107 T. vaginalis (STV) cultured in 1 ml of serum-free Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) at 37°C for 30 min. With a multichamber chemotactic assay, we found that there were 112 + 15 migrated neutrophils (mean ±...
متن کاملASXL1 plays an important role in erythropoiesis
ASXL1 mutations are found in a spectrum of myeloid malignancies with poor prognosis. Recently, we reported that Asxl1(+/-) mice develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) overlapping diseases (MDS/MPN). Although defective erythroid maturation and anemia are associated with the prognosis of patients with MDS or MDS/MPN, the role of ASXL1 in erythropoiesi...
متن کاملPrevalence of Trichomonas Vaginalis in Diabetic Females
Abstract Background and Objective: Trichomonas vaginalis is a pathogenic agent known worldwide and affects about 180 million annually. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis in diabetic patients referred to diabetic research center. Material and Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, 215 women referring to the Diabetic Center in Kermanshah Province were invest...
متن کاملTrichomonas vaginalis in Pregnancy
Pregnancy Trichomonas vaginalis is a common cause of vaginitis in both the pregnant and nonpregnant patient. This protozoan is usually susceptible to metronidazole, but there is reluctance to administer this antibiotic to pregnant patients. The presence of T. vaginalis usually indicates that the vaginal ecosystem has become unbalanced. The microflora tends to shift from a lactobacilli-dominant ...
