This study confirmed that STK phosphorylated GntR in vivo, and in vitro phosphorylation experiments showed that STK phosphorylated GntR at Ser-41. The phosphomimetic strain (GntR-S41E) had significantly reduced lethality in mice and reduced bacterial load in the blood, lung, liver, spleen, and brain of infected mice compared to wild-type (WT) SS2.

Vimentin affects inflammation and neutrophil recruitment in airway epithelium during Streptococcus suis serotype 2 infection.

Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) frequently colonizes the swine upper respiratory tract and can cause Streptococcal disease in swine with clinical manifestations of pneumonia, meningitis, and septicemia. Previously, we have shown that vimentin, a kind of intermediate filament protein, is involved in the penetration of SS2 through the tracheal epithelial barrier. The initiation of invasive disease is closely related to SS2-induced excessive local inflammation; however, the role of vimentin in airway epithelial inflammation remains unclear.

Coinfection with porcine circovirus type 2 and Glaesserella parasuis serotype 4 enhances pathogenicity in piglets.

Coinfection of Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) and Glaesserella parasuis type 4 (GPS4) is widespread clinically, resulting in high morbidity and mortality, however, interactions between the two pathogens during coinfection and the coinfection pathogenesis are poorly understood. In this study, a piglet model coinfected with PCV2 and GPS4 was established; coinfection of the piglets' group showed more obvious symptoms, such as high fever and emaciation, and more severe histological lesions appeared in various organs. Importantly, piglets in the coinfection group produced lower levels of PCV2 and GPS4 antibodies, and showed high levels of inflammatory cytokines, TLR2, and TLR4, while the levels of CD4, CD8, MHC II, costimulatory molecules, and IL-12p40 were decreased.

Glaesserella parasuis serotype 5 breaches the porcine respiratory epithelial barrier by inducing autophagy and blocking the cell membrane Claudin-1 replenishment.

Parallel Structure Enhanced Polysilylaryl-enyne/CaLaTiO Composites with Ultra-High Dielectric Constant and Thermal Conductivity.

With the rapid development of the microwave communication industry, microwave dielectric materials have been widely studied as the medium of signal transmission. Nowadays, with the increase in communication frequency, devices are miniaturized, and dielectric materials are required to have higher dielectric constants. At the same time, the miniaturization of devices brings about an increase in power density, which puts forward higher requirements for the thermal conductivity of materials.

Streptococcal autolysin promotes dysfunction of swine tracheal epithelium by interacting with vimentin.

Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a major zoonotic pathogen resulting in manifestations as pneumonia and septic shock. The upper respiratory tract is typically thought to be the main colonization and entry site of SS2 in pigs, but the mechanism through which it penetrates the respiratory barrier is still unclear.
