Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disorder in which degeneration of intima and internal elastic lamina of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel. Different molecular mechanisms are involved in sIA formation in patients.

View SamplesToxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite which can cause toxoplasmosis. Surface and secreted proteins of T. gondii play important roles in infection and immunity, and also are antigen targets in immunological diagnosis and vaccine development. However, it is difficult to investigate identities and antigenicities of surface and secreted proteins due to limitation of surface protein extraction methods. In this study, a total of 785 potential surface and secreted proteins of T. gondii RH tachyzoites were identified using a method combination of biotin labeling, avidin chromatography isolation, and high flux proteomics (LC-MS/MS). Among the highly-expressed 65 proteins, 43 proteins (66%) were originally annotated as surface or secreted proteins in the released T. gondii genomes, which proved the method combination to be a credible strategy. Furthermore, the transcriptomic responses and cytokine secretions induced by the isolated proteins, the live T. gondii RH tachyzoites infection, and the live pathogenic E. coli infection, in the human peripheral blood monocyte THP-1 cell lines, were comparatively analyzed to reveal antigenicities and immunobiological properties of T. gondii surface and secreted proteins. The transciptomic profiles induced by the isolated proteins were similar to those induced by the live bacterium infection, but were different from those induced by the live parasite infection. Contrary to the low cytokine secretion induced by the live parasite infection, the isolated proteins induced significant cytokine and chemokines secretion. Especially, the secretions of several chemokines induced by the isolated proteins were even higher than those induced by the live bacterium infection. These data suggested that T. gondii surface and secreted proteins were effective antigens, while the live parasite could evade the host innate immunity. This study comprehensively revealed the identities and antigenicities of T. gondii surface and secreted proteins, which laid foundation for further screening new T. gondii antigens, developing immunological diagnosis methods, and studying host immune response to T. gondii infection.

View SamplesPneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infectious disease prevalent in immunosuppressive host. Corticosteroids treatment is the most significant risk factor for HIV-negative patients with PCP, though little is known about how corticosteroids alters the host defense against Pneumocystis infection.

View SamplesIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lethal interstitial lung disease of unkown etiology with limited effective therapies. The pathogenic mechanisms of IPF remain unkown. Emerging evidences indicate that abnormal behaviors of fibroblasts in IPF are associated with a variety of genetic alterations and aberrant reactivation of developmental signaling pathways.

View SamplesWe identified the spatiotemporal pattern of cascade initiation of additional molars in miniature pig,where second molar (M2) initiated from the posterior-free end of the dental lamina over the first molar (M1) at E60 when M1 progressed to the late bell stage. Similarly, third molar (M3) budded off from the posterior-free end of the dental lamina over M2, which reached bell stage at PN20. However, the molecular mechanisms of the regulatory network during sequential formation of additional molars remain poorly characterized in diphyodont mammals.
