TUDCA promotes intracellular clearance of Burkholderia pseudomallei by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in RAW264.7 cells

ZHAO Guangqiang, NAN Dongqi, YUAN Siqi · 2024 · 陆军军医大学学报

Objective To explore the action mechanism of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) promoting intracellular clearance of Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Methods After TUDCA of different concentrations were used to treat RAW264.7 cells pre-infected with B. pseudomallei for 8 h or not, flow cytometry was applied to detect the apoptosis of the infected and control cells. In addition, another endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inhibitor 4-PBA was used to detect the apoptosis and proliferation of host cells after B. pseudomallei infection with Annexin-V/PI double sta

In vitro evaluation of the effect of galectins on Schistosoma mansoni motility

Tomoharu Takeuchi, Risa Nakamura, Megumi Hamasaki et al. · 2023 · BMC Research Notes

Abstract Objective Galectins are sugar-binding proteins that participate in many biological processes, such as immunity, by regulating host immune cells and their direct interaction with pathogens. They are involved in mediating infection by Schistosoma mansoni, a parasitic trematode that causes schistosomiasis. However, their direct effects on schistosomes have not been investigated. Results We found that galectin-2 recognizes S. mansoni glycoconjugates and investigated whether galectin-1, 2, and 3 can directly affect S. mansoni in vitro. Adult S. mansoni were treated with recombinant galecti

Can prompts improve self-explaining an online video lecture? Yes, but do not disturb!

Markus H. Hefter, Veit Kubik, Kirsten Berthold · 2023 · International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education

Abstract In recent years, COVID-19 policy measures massively affected university teaching. Seeking an effective and viable way to transform their lecture material into asynchronous online settings, many lecturers relied on prerecorded video lectures. Whereas researchers in fact recommend implementing prompts to ensure students process those video lectures sufficiently, open questions about the types of prompts and role of students’ engagement remain. We thus conducted an online field experiment with teacher students at a German university (N = 124; 73 female, 49 male). According to the randoml
