bacterial and viral triggers are suspected agents in the initial etiology of autoimmune diseases. there are some studies on the etiology of autoimmune disorders which have focused on streptococcal infection and a possible relation with microbial heat shock proteins (hsp) which show significant homology with human heat shock proteins. in addition, some serotypes of streptococci cross-react with ...

Heat shock proteins assist in folding that is a basic cellular constituent responsible for various crucial functions including protein assembly, transportation, normal conditions and denaturation of stress other function. Abiotic factors like increased temperature, drought salinity negatively affect reproduction survival plants. Plants (HSPs), as chaperones, have part conversing biotic abiotic ...

the indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. these variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. this study was conducted to evaluate variations in the indian bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2d-page) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation with...

Heat stress and reduced feed intake negatively affect intestinal integrity and barrier function. Our objective was to compare ileum protein profiles of pigs subjected to 12 hours of HS, thermal neutral ad libitum feed intake, or pair-fed to heat stress feed intake under thermal neutral conditions (pair-fed thermal neutral). 2D-Differential In Gel Electrophoresis and gene expression were perform...

Living organisms are known to react to a heat stress by the selective induction in the synthesis of several polypeptides. In this review we list the major stress proteins of mammalian cells that are induced by heat shock and other environments and categorize these proteins into specific subgroups: the major heat shock proteins, the glucose-regulated proteins, and the low-molecular-weight heat s...

Nuclear domains called ND10 or PML bodies might function as nuclear depots by recruiting or releasing certain proteins. Although recruitment of proteins through interferon-induced upregulation and SUMO-1 modification level of PML had been defined, it is not known whether release of proteins is regulated and has physiological consequences. Exposure to sublethal environmental stress revealed a se...

Human matrix metalloproteinase-26 (MMP-26/endometase/matrilysin-2) is a putative biomarker for carcinomas of breast, prostate, and other cancers of epithelial origin. MMP-26 expression was silenced using small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Immunological and proteomics approaches, including two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix assisted laser d...

Pinellia ternata is an important traditional Chinese medicinal plant. The growth of P. ternata is sensitive to high temperatures. To gain a better understanding of heat stress responses in P. ternata, we performed a comparative proteomic analysis. P. ternata seedlings were subjected to a temperature of 38 °C and samples were collected 24 h after treatment. Increased relative ion leakage and lip...
