Immunological Role of Lung Epithelial CellsCélulas Epiteliales en la inmunidad del pulmón
(Universidad del Zulia, 2006)
Contribution of TLR2 pathway in the pathogenesis of vulvovaginal candidiasis
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Candida albicans is the prevalent etiological agent in acute vulvovaginal infection and the most severe chronic condition known as recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). A critical role of local innate immunity in defense ...
Isolation and characterization of the tissue and development-specific potato snakin-1 promoter inducible by temperature and wounding
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, 2010-09)
Snakin-1 (StSN1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide isolated from Solanum tuberosum. Homologous proteins have been identified in a wide range of species but there is no apparent consensus in the roles they play. A ...
Potato Snakin-1 Gene Silencing Affects Cell Division, Primary Metabolism, and Cell Wall Composition
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2012-01)
Snakin-1 (SN1) is an antimicrobial cysteine-rich peptide isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) that was classified as a member of the Snakin/Gibberellic Acid Stimulated in Arabidopsis protein family. In this work, a ...
Evaluation of in vitro cytotoxic activity of mono-PEGylated StAP3 (Solanum tuberosum Aspartic Protease 3) forms
(Elsevier, 2014-05-27)
StAP3 is a plant aspartic protease with cytotoxic activity toward a broad spectrum of pathogens, including potato and human pathogen microorganisms, and cancer cells, but not against human T cells, human red blood cells ...
Molecular basis of a bacterial-amphibian symbiosis revealed by comparative genomics, modeling, and functional testing
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-10)
The molecular bases for the symbiosis of the amphibian skin microbiome with its host are poorly understood. Here, we used the odor-producer Pseudomonas sp. MPFS and the treefrog Boana prasina as a model to explore bacterial ...
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of a naturally occurring peptide isolated from Boana pulchella (Anura: Hylidae) and its analogs
(Springer, 2020-03)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is a growing problem worldwide, with 10 million incident cases registered every year. The complex etiology of AD has not been clarified yet and represents an ...
Oral administration of probiotics increases paneth cells and intestinal antimicrobial activity
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04-16)
The huge amount of intestinal bacteria represents a continuing threat to the intestinal barrier. To meet this challenge, gut epithelial cells produce antimicrobial peptides (AMP) that act at the forefront of innate immunity. ...
