| 1 | Acute-on-chronic liver failure:Pathogenesis,prognostic factors and management显示文摘Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF) is increasingly recognized as a complex syndrome that is reversiblein many cases. It is characterized by an acute deterioration of liver function in the background of a pre-existing chronic liver disease often associated with a high short-term mortality rate. Organ failure(OF) is always associated, and plays a key role in determining the course, and the outcome of the disease. The definition of ACLF remains controversial due to its overall ambiguity, with several disparate criteria among various associations dedicated to the study of liver diseases. Although the precise pathogenesis needs to be clarified, it appears that an altered host response to injury might be a contributing factor caused by immune dysfunction, ultimately leading to a pro-inflammatory status, and eventually to OF. The PIRO concept(Predisposition, Insult, Response and Organ Failure) has been proposed to better approach the underlying mechanisms. It is accepted that ACLF is a different and specific form of liver failure, where a precipitating event is always involved, even though it cannot always be ascertained. According to several studies, infections and active alcoholism often trigger ACLF. Viral hepatitis, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, or drug induced liver injury, which can also provoke the syndrome. This review mainly focuses on the physiopathology and prognostic aspects. We believe these features are essential to further understanding and providing the rationale for improveddisease management strategies. | Sara Blasco-Algora José Masegosa-Ataz María Luisa Gutiérrez-García Sonia Alonso-López Conrado M Fernández-Rodríguez | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,42: | 45 |
| 2 | Endocrine impact of Helicobacter pylori:Focus on ghrelin and ghrelin o-acyltransferase显示文摘Ghrelin is predominantly produced by the gastric enteroendocrine cell compartment and is octanoylated by the recently discovered ghrelin o-acyltransferase (GOAT) before secretion into the bloodstream. This octanoylation is essential for many of the biological properties of ghrelin including appetite stimulation and anti-inflammatory properties as only the acylated form of ghrelin binds to the ghrelin receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R). Given the gastric location of ghrelin production, it is perhaps not surprising that insult to the gastric mucosa affects circulating ghrelin levels in humans. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects more than f ifty percent of the world's population and once established within the gastric mucosa, can persist for life. Infection is associated with chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy and ulceration, reduced appetite and a lower body mass index (BMI). The large majority of studies investigating levels of circulating ghrelin and ghrelin expression in the stomach in patients with H. pylori infection indicate that the bacterium has a negative impact on ghrelin production and/or secretion. Eradication of infection restores ghrelin, improves appetite and increases BMI in some studies, however, a causative relationship between H. pylori-associated serum ghrelin decline and food intake and obesity has not been established. Most studies measure total ghrelin in the circulation although the measurement of the ratio of acyl/total ghrelin gives a clearer indication that the ghrelin acylation process is altered during infection and atrophy. GOAT is essential for the production of biologically-active, acyl ghrelin and the impact of H. pylori on GOAT expression and activity will be highly informative in the future. | Penny L Jeffery Michael A McGuckin Sara K Linden | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,10: | 12 |
| 3 | Reversibility of minimal hepatic encephalopathy following liver transplantation in Egyptian cirrhotic patients显示文摘AIM To evaluate the reversibility of minimal hepatic encephalopathy(MHE) following liver transplantation(LT) in Egyptian cirrhotic patients. METHODS This prospective study included twenty patients with biopsy-proven liver cirrhosis listed for LT and twenty ageand sex-matched healthy control subjects. All underwent neuro-psychiatric examination, laboratory investigations, radiological studies and psychometric tests including trail making test A(TMT A), TMT B, digit symbol test and serial dotting test. The psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score(PHES) was calculated for patients to diagnose MHE. Psychometric tests were repeated six months following LT in the cirrhotic patient group. RESULTS Before LT, psychometric tests showed highly significant deficits in cirrhotic patients in comparison to controls(P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant improvement in test values in the patient group after LT; however, their values were still significantly worse than those of the controls(P < 0.001). The PHES detected MHE in 16 patients(80%) before LT with a median value of -7 ± 3.5. The median PHES value was significantly improved following LT, reaching-4.5 ± 5(P < 0.001), and the number of patients with MHE decreased to 11(55%). The pre-transplant model for end-stage liver disease(MELD) score ≥ 15 was significantly related to the presence of post-transplant MHE(P = 0.005). More patients in whom reversal of MHE was observed had a pre-transplant MELD score < 15.CONCLUSION Reversal of MHE in cirrhotic patients could be achieved by LT, especially in those with a MELD score < 15. | Mahmoud A Osman Moataz M Sayed Khaled A Mansour Shereen A Saleh Wesam A Ibrahim Sara M Abdelhakam Mohamed Bahaa Wael A Yousry Hosam S Elbaz Reginia N Mikhail Azza M Hassan Ehab H Elsayed Dalia A Mahmoud | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,30: | 11 |

| 5 | Hepatic abscess induced by foreign body:Case report and literature review显示文摘Hepatic abscess due to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by ingested foreign bodies is uncommon. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult as patients are often unaware of the foreign body ingestion and symptoms and imagiology are usually non-specific. The authors report a case of 62-year-old woman who was admitted with fever and abdominal pain. Further investigation revealed hepatic abscess, without resolution despite antibiotic therapy. A liver abscess resulting from perforation and intra-hepatic migration of a bone coming from the pilorum was diagnosed by surgery. The literature concerning foreign body-induced perforation of the gastrointestinal tract complicated by liver abscess is reviewed. | Sofia A Santos Sara CF Alberto Elsa Cruz Eduardo Pires Tomás Figueira lia Coimbra José Estevez Mário Oliveira Luís Novais Joo R Deus | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,9: | 10 |
| 6 | MoS_2纳米片/CdS纳米线复合光催化剂的制备及其光电化学和光催化活性研究(英文)显示文摘本论文通过两步水热法合成了MoS_2纳米片/CdS纳米线复合光催化剂.采用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线粉末衍射仪、拉曼光谱仪、X射线光电子能谱仪、比表面积分析仪、紫外可见漫反射光谱仪、荧光光谱方法和光电化学测试对复合光催化剂进行了表征.研究表明复合光催化剂的性能和MoS_2负载量的多少密切相关.当MoS_2的负载量为5 mol%时复合光催化剂具有最优的光学、光电化学和光催化产氢活性.与纯的CdS纳米线相比,优化后的复合光催化剂以葡萄糖和乳酸为空穴牺牲剂,光电流提高了5.5倍,光催化产氢活性提高了74倍,这主要归因于MoS_2纳米片和CdS纳米线之间的紧密接触有利于提高电荷的分离效率.为了进一步理解光电化学和光催化活性提高的机理,采用瞬态吸收光谱仪深入探究了电荷分离和转移的动力学过程.该工作不仅涉及了具有优良光电化学和光催化活性的复合光催化剂的制备方法,而且展示了葡萄糖在光解水产氢中的应用. | 王红梅 Sara Bonabi Naghadeh 李春鹤 应露 A’Lester Allen 张金中 | 2018 | Science China Materials2018,61,6: | 9 |
| 7 | Management of occult hepatitis B virus infection:An update for the clinician显示文摘Occult hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection(OBI) is defined by the presence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue of individuals who test negative for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg).Patients who have recovered from acute hepatitis B can carry HBV genomes for a long time and show histological patterns of mild necro-inflammation,even fibrosis,years after the resolution of acute hepatitis,without showing any clinical or biochemical evidence of liver disease.At least in conditions of immunocompetence,OBI is inoffensive itself,but when other relevant causes of liver damage are present it might make the course of the liver disease worse.The risk of HBV transmission through transfusion is related to blood donations negative for HBsAg that have been collected during the pre-seroconversion period or during chronic OBI.Use of HBV nucleic acid amplification testing and multivalent anti-HBs antibodies in the HBsAg assays is recommended for detection of true and false OBI,respectively.It is not known if prior hepatitis B immunization with an optimal anti-HBs response in cases of HBV transmission through organ transplantation can effectively modulate or abort the infection.Use of anti-viral agents as prophylaxis in patients with serological evidence of past HBV infection prevents reactivation of OBI after transplantation in most cases.Reactivation of OBI has been observed in other conditions that cause immunosuppression,in which antiviral therapy could be delayed until the HBV DNA or HBsAg becomes detectable.OBI might contribute to the progression of liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic liver disease. | JoséLuis Lledó Conrado Fernández María Luisa Gutiérrez Sara Ocaa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,12: | 9 |
| 8 | 中、低收入国家卫生智囊团的实践影响政策变化显示文摘近年来,中、低收入国家独立卫生政策研究机构的数量与日俱增,原因在于政府研究能力有限和民主化进程中的压力。本研究的目标是:(1)调查中﹑低收入国家中卫生政策研究机构对卫生政策的议程设置﹑制定﹑执行、监管和评估所作的贡献;(2)评估包括组织形式和结构在内的哪些因素支持中﹑低收入国家的卫生政策研究机构对卫生政策发挥积极作用。本研究在孟加拉﹑加纳﹑印度﹑南非﹑乌干达和越南选取了6家卫生政策研究机构开展案例研究,研究对象包括两个非政府组织、两所大学和两个政府办政策研究机构。案例研究通过文献查阅、财务信息分析、对工作人员和其他利益相关人员进行半结构式访谈,以及对结论草案进行多次反馈等方式开展。其中有些机构对他们各自国家的政策发展作出了巨大贡献。这些机构都积极建言献策,多数从事与政策相关的研究,而开展政治对话﹑系统评价或委托性研究的机构则相对较少。这些机构所开展的工作大多以政府或出资人的需求为导向,多数机构的主要成果一般为研究报告,经常与面向政府官员的口头汇报相结合。在支持对政策的有效参与方面,有几个关键因素,其中包括支持性的政策环境﹑管理和财务的相对独立性,以及与决策者建立可增进信任和影响的密切关系。当研究机构与政府之间的正式关系未处在重要位置时,政府内部单位则面临相当大的困难。 | Sara Bennett Adrijana Corluka Jane Doherty Viroj Tangcharoensathlen Walaiporn Patcharanarumol Amar Jesani Joseph Kyabaggu Grace Namaganda A M Zakir Hussain Ama de-Graft Aikins | 2012 | 中国卫生政策研究2012,5,8: | 6 |

| 10 | Vascular depression for radiology: A review of the construct,methodology,and diagnosis显示文摘Vascular depression(VD)as defined by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)has been proposed as a unique subtype of late-life depression.The VD hypothesis posits that cerebrovascular disease,as characterized by the presence of MRIdefined white matter hyperintensities,contributes to and increases the risk for depression in older adults.VD is also accompanied by cognitive impairment and poor antidepressant treatment response.The VD diagnosis relies on MRI findings and yet this clinical entity is largely unfamiliar to neuroradiologists and is rarely,if ever,discussed in radiology journals.The primary purpose of this review is to introduce the MRI-defined VD construct to the neuroradiology community.Case reports are highlighted in order to illustrate the profile of VD in terms of radiological,clinical,and neuropsychological findings.A secondary purpose is to elucidate and elaborate on the measurement of cerebrovascular disease through visual rating scales and semi-and fully-automated volumetric methods.These methods are crucial for determining whether lesion burden or lesion severity is the dominant pathological contributor to VD.Additionally,these rating methods have implications for the growing field of computer assisted diagnosis.Since VD has been found to have a profile that is distinct from other types of late-life depression,neuroradiologists,in conjunction with psychiatrists and psychologists,should consider VD in diagnosis and treatment planning. | Sara N Rushia Al Amira Safa Shehab Jeffrey N Motter Dakota A Egglefield Sophie Schiff Joel R Sneed Ernst Garcon | 2020 | World Journal of Radiology2020,12,5: | 5 |
| 11 | Tumor-induced neurogenesis and immune evasion as targets of innovative anti-cancer therapies显示文摘Normal cells are hijacked by cancer cells forming together heterogeneous tumor masses immersed in aberrant communication circuits that facilitate tumor growth and dissemination.Besides the well characterized angiogenic effect of some tumor-derived factors;others,such as BDNF,recruit peripheral nerves and leukocytes.The neurogenic switch,activated by tumor-derived neurotrophins and extracellular vesicles,attracts adjacent peripheral fibers(autonomic/sensorial)and neural progenitor cells.Strikingly,tumor-associated nerve fibers can guide cancer cell dissemination.Moreover,IL-1β,CCL2,PGE2,among other chemotactic factors,attract natural immunosuppressive cells,including T regulatory(Tregs),myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs),and M2 macrophages,to the tumor microenvironment.These leukocytes further exacerbate the aberrant communication circuit releasing factors with neurogenic effect.Furthermore,cancer cells directly evade immune surveillance and the antitumoral actions of natural killer cells by activating immunosuppressive mechanisms elicited by heterophilic complexes,joining cancer and immune cells,formed by PD-L1/PD1 and CD80/CTLA-4 plasma membrane proteins.Altogether,nervous and immune cells,together with fibroblasts,endothelial,and bone-marrow-derived cells,promote tumor growth and enhance the metastatic properties of cancer cells.Inspired by the demonstrated,but restricted,power of anti-angiogenic and immune cell-based therapies,preclinical studies are focusing on strategies aimed to inhibit tumor-induced neurogenesis.Here we discuss the potential of anti-neurogenesis and,considering the interplay between nervous and immune systems,we also focus on anti-immunosuppression-based therapies.Small molecules,antibodies and immune cells are being considered as therapeutic agents,aimed to prevent cancer cell communication with neurons and leukocytes,targeting chemotactic and neurotransmitter signaling pathways linked to perineural invasion and metastasis. | Rodolfo Daniel Cervantes-Villagrana Damaris Albores-García Alberto Rafael Cervantes-Villagrana Sara Judit García-Acevez | 2020 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2020,5,1: | 5 |
| 12 | Mesenchymal stem cell therapy in retinal and optic nerve diseases: An update of clinical trials显示文摘Retinal and optic nerve diseases are degenerative ocular pathologies which lead to irreversible visual loss. Since the advanced therapies availability, cell-based therapies offer a new all-encompassing approach. Advances in the knowledge of neuroprotection, immunomodulation and regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have been obtained by several preclinical studies of various neurodegenerative diseases. It has provided the opportunity to perform the translation of this knowledge to prospective treatment approaches for clinical practice. Since 2008, several first steps projecting new treatment approaches, have been taken regarding the use of cell therapy in patients with neurodegenerative pathologies of optic nerve and retina. Most of the clinical trials using MSCs are in Ⅰ/Ⅱ phase, recruiting patients or ongoing, and they have as main objective the safety assessment of MSCs using various routes of administration. However, it is important to recognize that, there is still a long way to go to reach clinical trials phase Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Hence, it is necessary to continue preclinical and clinical studies to improve this new therapeutic tool. This paper reviews the latest progress of MSCs in human clinical trials for retinal and optic nerve diseases. | Sonia Labrador-Velandia María Luz Alonso-Alonso Sara Alvarez-Sanchez Jorge González-Zamora Irene Carretero-Barrio José Carlos Pastor Iván Fernandez-Bueno Girish Kumar Srivastava | 2016 | World Journal of Stem Cells2016,8,11: | 5 |
| 13 | Organosolv Lignin for Non-Isocyanate Based Polyurethanes (NIPU) as Wood Adhesive显示文摘A non-isocyanate-based polyurethane(NIPU)wood adhesive was produced from organosolv lignin,which is a bio-sourced raw material,available in large quantities and produced as a by-product of the paper industry.The formulation of this new lignin-based NIPU adhesive,which is presented,was chemically characterised by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight(MALDI ToF)mass spectrometry and by Fourier Transform Infra-Red(FTIR)spectrometry analyses.The oligomers formed were determined and showed that the three species involved in the NIPU adhesive preparation were formed by the co-reaction of the three reagents used:lignin,dimethyl carbonate,and hexamethylene diamine.Linear and branched structures were both identi-fied.Mechanical properties of the adhesive were determined using the Automated Bonding Evaluation System(ABES)and internal bond(IB)strength test of the laboratory particleboard bonded with it.The adhesive has shown satisfactory mechanical properties after hot pressing at 230℃.Such a temperature is used industrially in the most modern particleboard factories,but since it is hardly feasible for more conventional wood bonding equipment,the reactivity of the NIPU adhesive was successfully increased with the addition of a small percentage of a silane coupling agent.With the addition of the silane,the proposed NIPU adhesive could also be used at a hot-pressing temperature lower than 200℃. | Jaša Saražin Antonio Pizzi Siham Amirou Detlef Schmiedl MilanŠernek | 2021 | Journal of Renewable Materials2021,9,5: | 4 |

| 15 | A high-density, multi-parental SNP genetic map on apple validates a new mapping approach for outcrossing species显示文摘Quantitative trait loci(QTL)mapping approaches rely on the correct ordering of molecular markers along the chromosomes,which can be obtained from genetic linkage maps or a reference genome sequence.For apple(Malus domestica Borkh),the genome sequence v1 and v2 could not meet this need;therefore,a novel approach was devised to develop a dense genetic linkage map,providing the most reliable marker-loci order for the highest possible number of markers.The approach was based on four strategies:(i)the use of multiple full-sib families,(ii)the reduction of missing information through the use of HaploBlocks and alternative calling procedures for single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)markers,(iii)the construction of a single backcross-type data set including all families,and(iv)a two-step map generation procedure based on the sequential inclusion of markers.The map comprises 15417 SNP markers,clustered in 3 K HaploBlock markers spanning 1267 cM,with an average distance between adjacent markers of 0.37 cM and a maximum distance of 3.29 cM.Moreover,chromosome 5 was oriented according to its homoeologous chromosome 10.This map was useful to improve the apple genome sequence,design the Axiom Apple 480 K SNP array and perform multifamily-based QTL studies.Its collinearity with the genome sequences v1 and v3 are reported.To our knowledge,this is the shortest published SNP map in apple,while including the largest number of markers,families and individuals.This result validates our methodology,proving its value for the construction of integrated linkage maps for any outbreeding species. | Erica A Di Pierro Luca Gianfranceschi Mario Di Guardo Herma JJ Koehorst-van Putten Johannes W Kruisselbrink Sara Longhi Michela Troggio Luca Bianco Hélène Muranty Giulia Pagliarani Stefano Tartarini Thomas Letschka Lidia Lozano Luis Larisa Garkava-Gustavsson Diego Micheletti Marco CAM Bink Roeland E Voorrips Ebrahimi Aziz Riccardo Velasco François Laurens W Eric van de Weg | 2016 | Horticulture Research2016,3,1: | 3 |
| 16 | N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate and hypertonic glucose with 72% chromated glycerin in gastric varices显示文摘AIM: To compare n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate and a mixture of 72% chromated glycerin with hypertonic glucose solution in management of gastric varices. METHODS: Ninety patients with gastric varices presented to Endoscopy Unit of Ain Shams University Hospital were included. They were randomly allocated into three groups; each group included 30 patients treated with intravariceal sclerosant injections in biweekly sessions till complete obturation of gastric varices; Group I(n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Histoacryl), Group II(iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Amcrylate) and Group III(mixture of 72% chromated glycerin; Scleremo with glucose solution 25%). All the procedures were performed electively without active bleeding. Recruited patients were followed up for 3 mo. RESULTS: 26% of Scleremo group had bleeding during puncture vs 3.3% in each of the other two groups with significant difference,(P < 0.05). None of Scleremo group had needle obstruction vs 13.3% in each of the other two groups with no significant difference,(P > 0.05). Rebleeding occurred in 13.3% of Histoacryl and Amcrylate groups vs 0% in Scleremo group with no significant difference. The in hospital mortality was 6.6% in both Histoacryl and Amcrylate groups, while it was 0% in Scleremo group with no significant difference. In the first and second sessions, the amount of Scleremo needed for obturation was significantly high, while the amount of Histoacryl was significantly low. Scleremo was the less costly of the two treatments. CONCLUSION: All used sclerosant substances showed efficacy and success in management of gastric varices with no significant differences except in total amount, cost and bleeding during puncture. | Reda Elwakil Mohamed Fawzy Montasser Sara M Abdelhakam Wesam A Ibrahim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,4: | 3 |
| 17 | Predicting lower limb periprosthetic joint infections: A review of risk factors and their classification显示文摘AIM To undertook a systematic review to determine factors that increase a patient's risk of developing lower limb periprosthetic joint infections(PJI).METHODS This systematic review included full-text studies that reviewed risk factors of developing either a hip or knee PJI following a primary arthroplasty published from January 1998 to November 2016. A variety of keywords were used to identify studies through international databases referencing hip arthroplasty, knee arthroplasty, infection, and risk factors. Studies were only included if they included greater than 20 patients in their study cohort, and there was clear documentation of the statistical parameter used; specifically P-value, hazard ratio, relative risk, or/and odds ratio(OR). Furthermore a quality assessment criteria for the individual studies was undertaken to evaluate the presence of record and reporting bias. RESULTS Twenty-seven original studies reviewing risk factors relating to primary total hip and knee arthroplasty infections were included. Four studies(14.8%) reviewed PJI of the hip, 3(11.21%) of the knee, and 20(74.1%) reviewed both joints. Nineteen studies(70.4%) were retrospective and 8(29.6%) prospective. Record bias was identified in the majority of studies(66.7%). The definition of PJI varied amongst the studies but there was a general consensus to define infection by previously validated methods. The most significant risks were the use of preoperative high dose steroids(OR = 21.0, 95%CI: 3.5-127.2, P < 0.001), a BMI above 50(OR = 18.3, P < 0.001), tobacco use(OR = 12.76, 95%CI: 2.47-66.16, P= 0.017), body mass index below 20(OR = 6.00, 95%CI: 1.2-30.9, P = 0.033), diabetes(OR = 5.47, 95%CI: 1.77-16.97, P = 0.003), and coronary artery disease(OR = 5.10, 95%CI: 1.3-19.8, P = 0.017).CONCLUSION We have highlighted the need for the provider to optimise modifiable risk factors, and develop strategies to limit the impact of non-modifiable factors. | David A George Lorenzo Drago Sara Scarponi Enrico Gallazzi Fares S Haddad Carlo L Romano | 2017 | World Journal of Orthopedics2017,8,5: | 3 |
| 18 | Capsule endoscopy capture rate: Has 4 frames-per-second any impact over 2frames-per-second?显示文摘AIM: To compare the current capsule and a new prototype at 2 and 4 frames-per-second, respectively, in terms of clinical and therapeutic impact. METHODS: One hundred patients with an indication for capsule endoscopy were included in the study. All procedures were performed with the new device(SB24). After an exhaustive evaluation of the SB24 videos, they were then converted to 'SB2-like' videos for their evaluation. Findings, frames per finding, and clinical and therapeutic impact derived from video visualization were analyzed. Kappa index for interobserver agreement and χ2 and Student's t tests for qualitative/quantitative variables, respectively, were used. Values of P under 0.05 were considered statistically significant.RESULTS: Eighty-nine out of 100 cases included in the study were ultimately included in the analysis. The SB24 videos detected the anatomical landmarks(Zline and duodenal papilla) and lesions in more patients than the 'SB2-like' videos. On the other hand, the SB24 videos detected more frames per landmark/lesion than the 'SB2-like' videos. However, these differences were not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Both clinical and therapeutic impacts were similar between SB24 and 'SB2-like' videos(K = 0.954). The time spent by readers was significantly higher for SB24 videos visualization(P < 0.05) than for 'SB2-like' videos when all images captured by the capsule were considered. However, these differences become non-significant if we only take into account small bowel images(P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: More frames-per-second detect more landmarks, lesions, and frames per landmark/lesion, but is time consuming and has a very low impact on clinical and therapeutic management. | Ignacio Fernandez-Urien Cristina Carretero Erika Borobio Ana Borda Emilio Estevez Sara Galter Begoa Gonzalez-Suarez Benito Gonzalez Marisol Lujan Jose Luis Martinez Vanessa Martínez Pedro Menchén Javier Navajas Vicente Pons Cesar Prieto Julio Valle | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,39: | 2 |
| 19 | Interferon-β induced in female genital epithelium by HIV-1 glycoprotein 120 via Toll-like-receptor 2 pathway acts to protect the mucosal barrier显示文摘More than 40%of HIV infections occur via female reproductive tract(FRT)through heterosexual transmission.Epithelial cells that line the female genital mucosa are the first line of defense against HIV-1 and other sexually transmitted pathogens.These sentient cells recognize and respond to external stimuli by induction of a range of carefully balanced innate immune responses.Previously,we have shown that in response to HIV-1 gp120,the genital epithelial cells(GECs)from upper reproductive tract induce an inflammatory response that may facilitate HIV-1 translocation and infection.In this study,we report that the endometrial and endocervical GECs simultaneously induce biologically active interferon-β(IFNβ)antiviral responses following exposure to HIV-1 that act to protect the epithelial tight junction barrier.The innate antiviral response was directly induced by HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 and addition of gp120 neutralizing antibody inhibited IFNβproduction.Interferon-βwas induced by gp120 in upper GECs through Toll-like receptor 2 signaling and required presence of heparan sulfate on epithelial cell surface.The induction of IFNβwas dependent upon activation of transcription factor IRF3(interferon regulatory factor 3).The IFNβwas biologically active,had a protective effect on epithelial tight junction barrier and was able to inhibit HIV-1 infection in TZM-bl indicator cells and HIV-1 replication in T cells.This is the first report that recognition of HIV-1 by upper GECs leads to induction of innate antiviral pathways.This could explain the overall low infectivity of HIV-1 in the FRT and could be exploited for HIV-1 prophylaxis. | Aisha Nazli Sara Dizzell Muhammad Atif Zahoor Victor H Ferreira Jessica Kafka Matthew William Woods Michel Ouellet Ali A Ashkar Michel J Tremblay Dawn ME Bowdish Charu Kaushic | 2019 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2019,16,2: | 2 |
