Campylobacter jejuni regulates cell cycle progression to potentiate host cell invasion by Prabhat K. Talukdar, Megan C. Dines, Eric A. Shelden, Brandon A. Toy, Amruta Suresh Kale, Ryan R. Driskell, Lisa M. Gloss, Michael E. Konkel

“…Acute C. jejuni-mediated enteritis requires bacterial invasion of intestinal cells with an ensuing host inflammatory response. Known is that C. jejuni invasion of human epithelial cells is dependent on host cell-focal adhesion components, which link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton of a cell. …”

The Role of Toll-Like Receptors in Skin Host Defense, Psoriasis, and Atopic Dermatitis by Lixiang Sun, Wenjie Liu, Ling-juan Zhang

“…At the first line of defense, the skin is constantly exposed to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and TLRs, expressed in a cell type-specific manner by various skin cells, serve as key molecules to recognize PAMPs and DAMPs and to initiate downstream innate immune host responses. While TLR-initiated inflammatory responses are necessary for pathogen clearance and tissue repair, aberrant activation of TLRs will exaggerate T cell-mediated autoimmune activation, leading to unwanted inflammation, and the development of several skin diseases, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetic foot ulcers, fibrotic skin diseases, and skin cancers. …”

Comparative meta-analysis of barely transcriptome: Pathogen type determines host preference. by Zahra Soltani, Ali Moghadam, Mohammadreza Shamekh

“…Gene network analysis identified key hub genes, including SSI2, PAD2, RPS1, RPS17, SHM1, CYP5, and RPL21C, which influence plant host preference in response to pathogens. Moreover, we identified novel hub genes with unknown functions that potentially interact with the genes involved in defense responses and host preference. …”

Tartrolon E rapidly blocks Toxoplasma gondii capacity to invade host cells by Fernanda G. Fumuso, Jason A. Clement, Matthew J. Todd, Roberta M. O'Connor

“…We evaluated the effect of the compound on extracellular tachyzoite viability, morphology, membrane permeability and its ability to block host cell attachment and/or invasion. While 80 % of T. gondii infective capacity is blocked after only 30 min of compound treatment, parasite viability, morphology, membrane integrity and host cell attachment were unaffected until after 4 h of treatment. …”

Host-Tree Monoterpenes and Biosynthesis of Aggregation Pheromones in the Bark Beetle Ips paraconfusus by John A. Byers, Göran Birgersson

“…A paradigm developed in the 1970s that Ips bark beetles biosynthesize their aggregation pheromone components ipsenol and ipsdienol by hydroxylating myrcene, a host tree monoterpene. Similarly, host α-pinene was hydroxylated to a third pheromone component cis-verbenol. …”
