Growth arrest–specific gene 6 (GAS6) promotes growth and cell survival during tissue repair development in different organs, including the liver. However, specific role of GAS6 liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has not been previously addressed. Here we report an early increase serum levels after I/R exposure. Moreover, unlike wild-type (WT) mice, Gas6 −/− mice were highly sensitive to partial hepatic I/R, with 90% dying within 12 hours reperfusion because massive hepatocellular...

Endometrial stromal cells acquire a secretory profile associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and unfolded protein response (UPR) related to the onset of sterile inflammatory essential for sustaining embryo implantation. However, exacerbated ERS/UPR is reproductive complications. Given ability dendritic (DCs) sense signals be conditioned by cells, here we investigated transmission ERS (TERS) from monocytes its impact on tolerogenic DCs conditioning. Blood were differentiated into...

Abstract The feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that affects domestic cats all over the world. Its pathogenic effects generally include anemia, immunosuppression or tumors. Dissemination populations linked to cat sociality, because transmitted by direct contact. Although its common host, FeLV infection has also been described in some wild felids. In Iberian lynx Lynx pardinus , sporadic cases have reported since 1994, but an outbreak with involvement of several animals never until...

Drought greatly affects the growth and development of plants. This stressful condition can trigger an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that, turn, induce cellular, anatomical, morphological changes that improve drought tolerance. A strain arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is considered efficient when it colonizes roots quickly extensively, absorbs transfers nutrients to plant host, promotes soil aggregation, protects host against disease. We evaluated effect inoculation...

The decidualization process involves phenotypic and functional changes of endometrial stromal cells to sustain receptivity the participation immunoregulatory factors maintain immune homeostasis. In this context, tolerogenic denditric (DC) can induce regulatory T cells, which are essential manage pro- anti-inflammatory transition during embryo implantation. Recently, Myeloid Regulatory Cells (MRCs) were proposed as immunosuppressant tolerance inducer including DC-10 subset. This novel...

During decidualization, endometrial stromal cells undergo reticular stress (RS) and unfolded protein response (UPR), allowing the endoplasmic reticulum-expansion immunomodulators production. Physiological RS generates activation of sensing proteins, inflammasome mature-IL-1β secretion, associated with pro-implantatory effects. We focus on impact UPR decidualized whether they induce a physiological sterile inflammatory through IL-1β Human cell line (HESC) after decidualization treatment MPA +...

The capacity of roots to sense soil physicochemical parameters plays an essential role in maintaining plant nutritional and developmental functions under abiotic stress. These conditions generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) tissues causing oxidation proteins lipids among others. Some plants have developed adaptive mechanisms counteract such adverse as symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF enhance growth improve transplant survival by protecting host against...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects agronomic practices on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal community in soils from Pampa Ondulada region (Argentina), and compare conclusions reached when using pyrosequencing or a morphological approach. AM diversity 3 agricultural exploitations located (Argentina) assessed by 454 amplicon (based spore traits) approaches. Two kinds soil managements are found these sites: non-agronomic. A total 188 molecular operational taxonomic units 29...

The commercial use of genetically modified (GM) plants has significantly increased worldwide. interactions between GM and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are considerable importance given the agricultural ecological role AM lack knowledge regarding potential effects drought-tolerant corn ( L.) on fungal symbiosis. This work studied colonization in five lines growing under two different irrigation regimes (30 100% soil field capacity [SFC]). Four were corn, these drought tolerant....

Canola (Brassica napus) is an important oleaginous crop in Argentina. Approximately 16,000 ha are grown commercially the southern region of Buenos Aires Province. In 2003, typical symptoms and signs charcoal rot were observed on canola plants experimental plots located at School Agricultural Sciences, University Aires. Average disease incidence across three 5- to 6-month-old (cvs. Monty, Rivette, Trooper) was 12% (range = 7 17%). Affected appeared patches following rows pod-filling stage....

The growth dynamics of extraradical mycelium and spore formation 14 "Rhizophagus" isolates from different sites in Argentina were evaluated under monoxenic conditions. A modified Gompertz model was used to characterize the development spores for each isolate same lag time, maximal rate total quantity both hyphae determined. Wide variability among detected, all parameters significantly altered by fungal isolate. Discriminant analysis differentiated primarily based on extent produced, yet such...
