Humoral Immune

Evidence of immune memory in invertebrates (immune priming) has accumulated in various organisms, and both cellular and humoral immune reactions are speculated to be involved in immune priming. However, there is a lack of understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved. In the present study, the protective effect of primed haemolymph was further validated by the increased survival rate of naïve crabs receiving a transfusion of primed haemolymph. By proteomic analysis, there were 474 proteins identified from the primed haemolymph, and most of them were functionally annotated in transport and metabolism classes. A total of 70 proteins were found to be differentially expressed in haemolymph at 12 hours and 7 days after priming stimulation with Aeromonas hydrophila, among which anti-lipopolysaccharide factor 1 (EsALF-1) and 3 (EsALF-3) were identified as the most significant (p < 0.05). After being challenged with A. hydrophila, EsALF-1 and EsALF-3 were highly expressed at both mRNA (in haemocytes) and protein (in haemolymph) levels compared with blank crabs, and the mRNA expressions of components in the EsTLR1-EsMyd88-EsPelle-EsALF pathway also increased significantly (p < 0.05). The EsALF-3 and EsMyd88 were even significantly higher expressed in response to the second A. hydrophila challenge, but their expressions all decreased (p < 0.05) when EsTLR1 was knocked down by RNAi. After the naïve crabs received an injection with the recombinant protein of EsALF-1 (rEsALF-1) or EsALF-3 (rEsALF-3), their survival rate increased significantly (p < 0.05) upon A. hydrophila stimulation. In contrast, the survival rate of the primed crabs reduced significantly (p < 0.05) after they received an injection with the antibody of EsALF-1 or EsALF-3. The enhanced expressions of EsALF-1 and EsALF-3 after A. hydrophilap riming stimulation could sustain for four weeks. All the results suggested that the EsTLR1-mediated productions of EsALF-1 and EsALF-3 in haemolymph played an indispensable role in the month-long humoral immune protection induced by A. hydrophila, which provides solid evidence of immune priming in crabs and a valuable reference for further understanding immune memory in invertebrates.

This study aims to apply vaccination against bacterial disease. The purpose of vaccination is to trigger the immune respone both non-specific and specific of fish against bacteria Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia (MAS) caused by Aeromonas hydrophila. The vaccination for fish with different ages: 2-3 weeks and 5 weeks were done using immersion method. The fish were re-vaccinated (booster) after two weeks of the first vaccination. The survival rate was < 50 % for juveniles 2-3 weeks and > 50% for juveniles 5 weeks. Survival rate for juveniles 5 weeks was higher than juveniles of 2-3 weeks. This shows that organs of juveniles of 5 weeks were more complete than the 2-3 weeks juveniles. The age of fish is one of the important factors for successfully vaccination. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan penerapan vaksinasi terhadap penyakit bakterial. Vaksinasi ditujukan untuk merangsang respon kekebalan non- spesifik dan spesifik pada tubuh ikan terhadap penyakit Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia (MAS) yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Aeromonas hydrophila. Vaksin diberikan pada benih ikan nila yang berbeda umur yaitu 2-3 minggu dan 5 minggu dengan menggunakan metode perendaman. Ikan divaksinasi ulang (booster) setelah 2 (dua) minggu dari vaksinasi yang pertama. Prosentase kelangsungan hidup < 50 % untuk benih umur 2-3 minggu dan > 50% untuk benih umur 5 minggu. Jumlah kematian benih umur 2-3 minggu lebih tinggi dari 5 minggu. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa fungsi organ benih umur 5 minggu telah lebih lengkap dari pada benih umur 2-3 minggu. Umur ikan merupakan salah satu faktor penting penentu keberhasilan suatu kegiatan vaksinasi.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the second leading extracranial solid tumors of early childhood and clinically characterized by the presence of round, small, monomorphic cells with excess nuclear pigmentation (hyperchromasia).Owing to a lack of definitive treatment against NB and less survival rate in high-risk patients, there is an urgent requirement to understand molecular mechanisms associated with NB in a better way, which in turn can be utilized for developing drugs towards the treatment of NB in human. Objectives: In this review, an approach was adopted to understand major risk factors, pathophysiology, the molecular mechanism associated with NB, and various therapeutic agents that can serve as drugs towards the treatment of NB in humans. Conclusions: Numerous genetic (e.g., MYCN amplification), perinatal, and gestational factors are responsible for developing NB. However, no definite environmental or parental exposures responsible for causing NB have been confirmed to date. Though intensive multimodal treatment approaches, namely, chemotherapy, surgery &radiation, may help in improving the survival rate in children, these approaches have several side effects and do not work efficiently in high-risk patients. However, recent studies suggested that numerous phytochemicals, namely, vincristine, and matrine have a minimal side effect in the human body and may serve as a therapeutic drug during the treatment of NB. Most of these phytochemicals work in a dose-dependent manner and hence must be prescribed very cautiously. The information discussed in the present review will be useful in the drug discovery process as well as treatment and prevention on NB in humans.

Resistance To Therapy

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (eSCC) accounts for more than 85% cases of esophageal cancer worldwide and the 5-year survival rate associated with metastatic eSCC is poor. This low survival rate is the consequence of a complex mechanism of resistance to therapy and tumor relapse. To effectively reduce the mortality rate of this disease, we need to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of resistance to therapy and translate that knowledge into novel approaches for cancer treatment. The circadian clock orchestrates several physiological processes through the establishment and synchronization of circadian rhythms. Since cancer cells need to fuel rapid proliferation and increased metabolic demands, the escape from circadian rhythm is relevant in tumorigenesis. Although clock related genes may be globally repressed in human eSCC samples, PER2 expression still oscillates in some human eSCC cell lines. However, the consequences of this circadian rhythm are still unclear. In the present study, we confirm that PER2 oscillations still occur in human cancer cells in vitro in spite of a deregulated circadian clock gene expression. Profiling of eSCC cells by RNAseq reveals that when PER2 expression is low, several transcripts related to apoptosis are upregulated. Consistently, treating eSCC cells with cisplatin when PER2 expression is low enhances DNA damage and leads to a higher apoptosis rate. Interestingly, this process is conserved in a mouse model of chemically-induced eSCC ex vivo. These results therefore suggest that response to therapy might be enhanced in esophageal cancers using chronotherapy.

Formulations with lactate as an antimicrobial and high-pressure processing (HPP) as a lethal treatment are combined strategies used to control L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products. Previous studies have shown that when HPP is applied in products with lactate, the inactivation of L. monocytogenes is lower than that without lactate. The purpose of the present work was to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the piezo-protection effect of lactate. Two L. monocytogenes strains (CTC1034 and EGDe) were independently inoculated in a cooked ham model medium without and with 2.8% potassium lactate. Samples were pressurized at 400 MPa for 10 min at 10 °C. Samples were subjected to RNA extraction, and a shotgun transcriptome sequencing was performed. The short exposure of L. monocytogenes cells to lactate through its inoculation in a cooked ham model with lactate 1h before HPP promoted a shift in the pathogen’s central metabolism, favoring the metabolism of propanediol and ethanolamine together with the synthesis of the B12 cofactor. Moreover, the results suggest an activated methyl cycle that would promote modifications in membrane properties resulting in an enhanced resistance of the pathogen to HPP. This study provides insights on the mechanisms developed by L. monocytogenes in response to lactate and/or HPP and sheds light on the understanding of the piezo-protective effect of lactate.
