چکیده مقاله:

Apoptosis is a physiological cell death that occurs under normal conditions in major biological processes, including the removal of old, damaged, extra, or harmful cells. It plays an important role in natural evolution, tissue homeostasis, removal of cells damaged or infected by viruses, and removal of immune cells activated against self-antigens. The purpose of this review was to examine the role of apoptosis in parasites and helminths. In this study, four English databases and three Persian databases were used to investigate the articles published between 1999 and 2018. Findings showed that in the Leishmania parasites, Plasmodium and Toxoplasma gondii mimic apoptosis with the expression of phosphatidylserine on the surface of the infected macrophages and prevent the recognition of the infected cell by the host immune system. Also, excreted/secreted antigens in the helminths, including Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis, and Schistosoma haematobium induce apoptosis in immune cells, especially in lymphocytes. Parasites follow different goals by inducing or preventing apoptosis and current article aimed at reviewing these aspects. Moreover, apoptotic blebs from parasite-infected cell can potentially stimulate the host's immune system, therefore, they could be further investigated in vaccine-related studies.

Heme as a Target for Therapeutic Interventions

Heme is a complex of iron and the tetrapyrrole protoporphyrin IX with essential functions in aerobic organisms. Heme is the prosthetic group of hemoproteins such as hemoglobin and myoglobin, which are crucial for reversible oxygen binding and transport. By contrast, high levels of free heme, which may occur in various pathophysiological conditions, are toxic via pro-oxidant, pro-inflammatory an...

PPARα as Potential Therapeutic Target for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear receptors super family and are ligand-activated transcription factors. They are involved in the regulation of metabolic pathologies such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, lipid disorder, hypertension and diabetes [1]. PPARs exist as three subtypes commonly designated as PPARα, PPARΥ, and PPARβ/δ. All PPAR isoforms,...

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is associated with hospital-acquired infections. Outer membrane protein A of A.baumannii (AbOmpA) is a well-characterized virulence factor which has important roles in pathogenesis of this bacterium. Methods: Based on our PCR-sequencing of ompA gene in the clinical isolates, AbOmpA protein can be categorized into two types, named here type-1 and type-2. We ...
