Overexpression of pEGF improved the gut protective function of Clostridium butyricum partly through STAT3 signal pathway
Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) is a probiotic that could promote animal growth and protect gut health. So far, current studies mainly keep up with the basic biological functions of C. butyricum, missing the...

Protective effects of Clostridium butyricum against oxidative stress induced by food processing and lipid-derived aldehydes in Caco-2 cells
The human body is almost always facing the oxidative stress caused by foodborne aldehydes such as glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), 4-hydroxyhexenal (HHE), and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE). When these aldehydes ...

Open AccessCo-expressing GroEL–GroES, Ssa1–Sis1 and Bip–PDI chaperones for enhanced intracellular production and partial-wall breaking improved stability of porcine growth hormone
Porcine growth hormone (pGH) is a class of peptide hormones secreted from the pituitary gland, which can significantly improve growth and feed utilization of pigs. However, it is unstable and volatile in vitro...

Recombinant Sj16 from Schistosoma japonicum contains a functional N-terminal nuclear localization signal necessary for nuclear translocation in dendritic cells and interleukin-10 production
Sj16 is a Schistosoma japonicum-derived protein (16 kDa in molecular weight) that has been identified as an immune modulation molecule, but the mechanisms of modulation of immune responses are not known. In this ...

Exosome-like vesicles derived by Schistosoma japonicum adult worms mediates M1 type immune- activity of macrophage
Exosomes are 30–100-nm membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that are released into the extracellular space upon fusion of the multi-vesicular bodies (MVB) with the plasma membrane, while initial studies descr...

Serum aca-mir-146a is a potential biomarker for early diagnosis of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection
Infection with Angiostrongylus cantonensis can cause eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, but it lacks an effective early diagnostic tool for the disease. Recently, growing number of serum microRNAs (miRNAs) were in...

MicroRNA expression profile in the third- and fourth-stage larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonensis
The pathogenesis of angiostrongyliasis, resulting from the third-stage and the fourth-stage Angiostrongylus cantonensis larvae invasion of the human central nervous system, remains elusive. MicroRNAs are importan...

Effects of a recombinant schistosomal-derived anti-inflammatory molecular (rSj16) on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced activated RAW264.7
Macrophages as a principal component of immune system play an important role in the initiation, modulation, and final activation of immune response against pathogens including schistosomes. Classical (M1) or a...
