The mucosal cellular response to infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum.
Although hookworms are known to stimulate inflammatory responses in the intestinal mucosa of their hosts, there is little quantitative data on this aspect of infection. Here we report the results of experiments conducted in hamsters infected with Ancylostoma ceylanicum. Infection resulted in a marked increase in goblet cells in the intestinal mucosa, which was dependent on the number of adult w...
متن کاملMucosal Inflammatory Response to Salmonella typhimurium Infection
The human intestinal epithelium consists of a single layer of epithelial cells that forms a barrier against food antigens and the resident microbiota within the lumen. This delicately balanced organ functions in a highly sophisticated manner to uphold the fidelity of the intestinal epithelium and to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms. On the luminal side, this barrier is fortified by a thick m...
متن کاملThe immune response of male DSN hamsters to a primary infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum.
The immune response of hamsters to a chronic hookworm infection has been investigated. Ancylostoma ceylanicum caused long term infections in hamsters which were associated with prominent changes in secondary lymphoid organs. The mesenteric lymph nodes and spleens increased rapidly in size stabilizing at approximately 3-4 times the weight in control animals by weeks 3-7. Cells from both the mese...
متن کاملPrion infection impairs the cellular response to oxidative stress.
The molecular mechanism of neurodegeneration in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies remains uncertain. In this study, it was demonstrated that prion-infected hypothalamic neuronal GT1 cells displayed a higher sensitivity to induced oxidative stress over noninfected cells. In addition, the infected cells presented an increased lipid peroxidation and signs of apoptosis associated with a dra...
متن کاملCellular response to ionizing radiation: A microRNA story
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. They play a crucial role in diverse cellular pathways. Ionizing radiation (IR) is one of the most important treatment protocols for patients that suffer from cancer and affects directly or indirectly cellular integration. Recently it has been discovered that mi...
