1. Apoptotic-like activity of staurosporine in axenic cultures of Trypanosoma evansi
Trypanosoma evansi is a blood protozoan parasite of the genus Trypanosoma which is responsible for surra (Trypanosomosis) in domestic and wild animals. This study addressed apoptotic-like features in Trypanosoma evansi in vitro. The mechanism of parasite death was investigated using staurosporine as an inducing agent. We evaluated its effects through several

2. Avaliação do papel da galectina-3 sobre funções de neutrófilos durante a infecção por cepa virulenta RH de Toxoplasma gondii em camundongos C57BL/6
Galectins are beta-galactoside-binding animal lectins involved in several biological processes, and Gal-3 has been related to modulation of immune reactions and inflammatory responses. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of Gal-3 in neutrophil viability, early apoptosis and cell death in parallel with its biological functions after in vivo and

3. Apoptotic mimicry in Leishmania spp.: role in host/parasite interaction. / Mimetismo apoptótico em Leishmania spp.: papel na interação parasita/hospedeiro
Promastigotes of Leishmania are found in the midgut environment of the vector insect and can be grown in some culture medium. In culture the genetically regulated differentiation from procyclic to infective metacyclic can be observed. Amastigotes are intracellular parasites and which multiply inside phagolysosomes of macrophages. Metacyclics and amastigotes

4. Location of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine in the human platelet plasma membrane.
The location of phospholipids in the human platelet plasma membrane was probed with 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzenesulfonate (TNBS). TNBS does not penetrate inintact cells and can label phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS). In tact platelets, PE is not accessible to TNBS during the initial 15 min. However, 6.9% PE reacts with TNBS after 30 min a

5. 16α-Bromoepiandrosterone, an Antimalarial Analogue of the Hormone Dehydroepiandrosterone, Enhances Phagocytosis of Ring Stage Parasitized Erythrocytes: a Novel Mechanism for Antimalarial Activity
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-S), which are the most abundant hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex and are present in plasma at approximately 6 μM, as well as their analogue, 16α-bromoepiandrosterone (EPI), exerted antimalarial activities against two chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum strains (Palo Alto, 50% inhibitory co

6. Scott syndrome erythrocytes contain a membrane protein capable of mediating Ca2+-dependent transbilayer migration of membrane phospholipids.
Phospholipid (PL) scramblase is a plasma membrane protein that mediates accelerated transbilayer migration of PLs upon binding Ca2+, facilitating rapid mobilization of phosphatidylserine to the cell surface upon elevation of internal Ca2+. In patients with Scott syndrome, a congenital bleeding disorder related to defective expression of membrane coagulant ac

7. Lung lymphocyte elimination by apoptosis in the murine response to intratracheal particulate antigen.
Pulmonary immune responses are suited to determine mechanisms of lymphocyte elimination, as lung inflammation must be regulated tightly to preserve gas exchange. The self-terminating response of primed C57BL/6 mice to intratracheal challenge with the T cell-dependent Ag sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) was used to test the importance of lung lymphocyte apoptosis in

8. Burkholderia pseudomallei Induces Cell Fusion and Actin-Associated Membrane Protrusion: a Possible Mechanism for Cell-to-Cell Spreading
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a facultative intracellular bacterium, is the causative agent of a broad spectrum of diseases collectively known as melioidosis. Its ability to survive inside phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells and to induce multinucleated giant cell (MNGC) formation has been demonstrated. This study was designed to assess a possible mechanism(s) l

9. Perforin and Fas Act Together in the Induction of Apoptosis, and Both Are Critical in the Clearance of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection
In this report we questioned the current view that the two principal cytotoxic pathways, the exocytosis and the Fas ligand (FasL)/Fas-mediated pathway, have largely nonoverlapping biological roles. For this purpose we have analyzed the response of mice that lack Fas as well as granzyme A (gzmA) and gzmB (FasxgzmAxB−/−) to infection with lymphocytic chori

10. Interaction of Yersinia enterocolitica with macrophages leads to macrophage cell death through apoptosis.
Suppression of the host defense is one of the hallmarks of Yersinia enterocolitica infection. This enteric pathogen resists phagocytosis and interferes with macrophage functions from an extracellular localization (oxidative-burst generation and tumor necrosis factor alpha production). In this study, we investigated the fate of the Y. enterocolitica-infected

11. Shear stress-induced apoptosis of adherent neutrophils: A mechanism for persistence of cardiovascular device infections
The mechanisms underlying problematic cardiovascular device-associated infections are not understood. Because the outcome of the acute response to infection is largely dependent on the function of neutrophils, the persistence of these infections suggests that neutrophil function may be compromised because of cellular responses to shear stress. A rotating dis

12. Activation of S6 kinase activity in 3T3-L1 cells by insulin and phorbol ester.
Treatment of 3T3-L1 cells with 0.1-1.0 nM insulin results in rapid (5-15 min) activation of a soluble protein kinase that phosphorylates serine residues in ribosomal protein S6. The insulin-stimulated kinase activity is detectable in confluent, nongrowing preadipocytes and adipocytes. In the presence of 2 micrograms of cycloheximide per ml, preconfluent 3T3-
