Cell-in-cell structures are created by one living cell entering another homotypic or heterotypic cell, which usually leads to the death of internalized specifically through caspase-dependent (emperitosis) lysosome-dependent (entosis). Although entosis has attracted great attention, its occurrence is controversial, because line used in study (MCF-7) deficient caspase-3. We investigated this issue using MCF-7 and A431 lines, often display cell-in-cell invasion, have different levels caspase-3...

Abstract Multiple studies have addressed the vital role of Nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/caspase-1/IL-1β signaling in asthma. Yet, NLRP3/caspase-1 toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced asthma is still obscure. The aim this study to investigate axis TDI-induced Using an established murine model as described previously, we gave asthmatic mice a highly selective NLRP3 inhibitor, MCC950, well specific caspase-1 inhibitors VX-765 and Ac-YVAD-CHO for therapeutic purposes. Airway resistance was...

Abstract Asthma is a common allergic disease characterized by airway hypersensitivity and remodeling. Ferroptosis regulated death marked iron accumulation lipid peroxidation. Several environmental pollutants allergens have been shown to cause ferroptosis in epithelial cells, but the relationship between birch pollinosis asthma poorly defined. Here, for first time, we identified of type II alveolar cells mice with Bet v 1-induced asthma. Further analysis revealed that treatment ferrostatin-1...

Abstract Summary: SORTALLER is an online allergen classifier based on family featured peptide (AFFP) dataset and normalized BLAST E-values, which establish the vectors for support vector machine (SVM). AFFPs are allergen-specific peptides panned from irredundant allergens harbor perfect information with noise fragments eliminated because of their similarity to non-allergens. performed significantly better than other existing software reached a balance high specificity (98.4%) sensitivity...

The association of colitis with colorectal cancer has become increasingly clear mast cells being identified as important inflammatory in the process. In view relationship between and cancer, we studied effect mechanisms development colon cancer. Functional mechanistic insights were gained from ex vivo studies cell interactions CT26 cells. Further evidence was reversely obtained targeted Fcε-PE40 chimeric toxin. Experiments revealed could induce tumor proliferation invasion. Cancer...

Accumulating evidence has suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is critically involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. The aim this study was to investigate role TLR4 toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-induced allergic airway inflammation.TLR4-/- and wild-type (WT) C57BL/10J mice were sensitized challenged with TDI generate a TDI-induced asthma model.

Vast amounts of allergen sequence data have been accumulated, thus complicating the identification specific allergenic proteins when performing diagnostic allergy tests and immunotherapy. This study aims to rank importance/potency allergens so as logically reduce number and/or sources.
