The pervasive use of antibiotics in agriculture and animal husbandry has raised a significant concern—residual antibiotic contamination food, which contributes to the natural evolution resistance pathogenic microbial strains. emergence communities poses global threat food safety security. Recently, situation been exacerbated by discovery novel strains resistant bacteria (ARB) plant- animal-derived foods. These microbes can enter human body through direct contact with affected animals or...

The ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) are six proteins within the larger Arf family and Ras superfamily that regulate membrane traffic. Arfs all share numerous biochemical activities have very similar specific activities. use of dominant mutants brefeldin A has been important to discovery cellular functions but lack specificity between isoforms. We developed small interference RNA constructs capable depletion each cytoplasmic human examine in live cells. No single was required for any step...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is an autoimmune disease, and the gut microbiota has become a new therapeutic target. Herbal medicine (HM) shown good efficacy in clinical treatment of IBD; however, synergistic actions dominant chemicals HM decoctions are unclear.In this study, we explored whether complicated interconnections between could allow crosstalk ingredients. Saponins polysaccharides, i.e., Codonopsis pilosula Nannf (CPN) decoction, were investigated dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-)...

Abstract This study examined the relationship between high‐fat, high‐sugar diet (HFHSD) and trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) induced mouse colitis, therapeutic effect of alpha‐linolenic (ALA) on HFHSD hyperlipidemia. We also possible underlying mechanisms behind their interactions. Female BABL/c mice were fed with for 9 weeks. At same time, ALA treatment (150 or 300 mg/kg) was administered a daily basis. end weeks, experimental colitis by intra‐colonic administration TNBS. Body weight,...

Probiotics are natural microbial agents with beneficial properties such as bacteriostatic and anti-infective properties. Lactobacillus plantarum Q21, Q25 QA85, were isolated from the Chinese specialty fermented food “Jiangshui” proved to be highly resistant Helicobacter pylori (p < 0.0001). In vitro results showed that QA85 strongly inhibited H. could specifically co-aggregate in (more than 56%). Strains have potential adhere cells hinder colonization To assess anti-H. efficacy of strains...

Abstract To examine the functions of Arf‐like protein, Arl1p, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , a null allele, arl1 Δ ::HIS3 was constructed two strains. In one background only, loss ARL1 resulted temperature‐sensitive (ts) growth (suppressed on high‐osmolarity media). Allelic variation at SSD1 locus accounted for differences between Strains lacking exhibited several defects membrane traffic. First, strains secreted less protein as measured by TCA‐precipitable radioactivity found media [ 35 S...
