Abstract More than 150 million humans in tropical countries are infected by filarial nematodes which harbor intracellular bacterial endosymbionts of the genus Wolbachia (Rickettsiales). These bacteria have been implicated adverse effects drug treatment filariasis. The present study provides evidence that purified major surface protein (rWSP) acts as an inducer innate immune system through TLR2 and TLR4: 1) recombinant, stringently rWSP elicited release TNF-α, IL-12, IL-8 from cultured blood...
The aim of this study was to define the microbiota water buffalo milk during sub-clinical and clinical mastitis, as compared healthy status, by using high-throughput sequencing 16S rRNA gene. A total 137 quarter samples were included in experimental design: 27 derived from healthy, culture negative quarters, with a Somatic Cell Count (SCC) less than 200,000 cells/ml; quarters mastitis; 83 collected subclinical SCC number greater cells/ml and/or positive for udder pathogens, without signs...
ABSTRACT The number and disposition of flagella harbored by eubacteria are regulated a specific trait successfully maintained over generations. genes governing the in Bacillus subtilis have never been identified, although ifm locus has long recognized to influence motility phenotype this microorganism. characterization spontaneous mutant B. , displaying diverse degrees cell flagellation both liquid solid media, raised question how governs assembly functional flagella. major finding...
Although the mRNA that encodes progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is present in mammalian oocytes, nothing known about either PGRMC1's expression pattern or function oocytes during maturation, fertilization, and subsequent embryonic development. As PGRMC1 associates with mitotic spindle somatic cells, we hypothesized involved oocyte maturation (meiosis). Western blot analysis confirmed presence of bovine oocytes. This study also shows at germinal vesicle (GV)- MII-stage...
Cloning of the cDNA coding for 270‐residue turtle prion protein is reported. It represents most remote example thus far described. The entire region comprised in a single exon, while large intron interrupts 5′ UTR. common structural features known proteins are all conserved PrP, whose identity degree to mammalian and avian about 40 58%, respectively. intriguing feature, unique prion, presence an EF‐hand Ca 2+ binding motif C‐terminal half protein.
Filarial nematodes harbour intracellular endosymbiotic bacteria, which have been assigned to the genus Wolbachia. These bacteria appear play an important role in pathogenesis of filarial diseases through their lipopolysaccharides. In view presence Wolbachia endosymbionts body nematodes, one might also expect that proteins from these antigenic humans and animals affected by filariases. To test this hypothesis, we produced recombinant form surface protein WSP a portion cell–cycle FTSZ...
The present study aimed to investigate whether acute pain associated with castration and tail docking of male piglets may modulate the expression salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) explore their potential use as biomarkers. Thirty-six healthy 4-d-old (Hermitage × Duroc) were randomly assigned three groups: first group (12 piglets) has been pretreated anesthetic anti-inflammatory drugs (ANA) then castrated docked; second one docked without any (CONV); third only handled (SHAM). Saliva was collected...
Abstract An in vitro trial was carried out to investigate the effects of natural Thymbra capitata essential oil (NEO) and its main compounds [including carvacrol, p -cymene, γ -terpinene given alone or a synthetic combination (SEO)] on ruminal fermentation bacterial community using batch cultures inoculated with digesta incubating two different basal diets [high-forage (F) high-concentrate (C) diet]. After 24 h incubation, primary end-products [gas, methane, volatile fatty acids (VFAs)...
Abstract Early supplementation with oregano essential oil (EO) in milk replacer (MR) may improve growth, immune responses, the microbiota and metabolome dairy calves during pre-weaning adulthood. Sixteen female (3 days of age) were divided two groups ( n = 8/group): control group (no EO) EO (0.23 ml MR 45 days). After weaning, kept a feedlot fed ad libitum . The animals weighed, blood faecal samples collected on 3 (T0), (T1) 370 (T2) to measure biochemical profile characterise peripheral...
