The early changes of electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of murine T lymphocytes induced by structural analogues of amixine-dihydrochloryde 4,4'-bis-[2(diethylamino)ethoxy]diphenyl (compound 1) and dihydrochloryde 2-methoxycarbonil-4,4'-bis-[2(diethylamino)ethoxy]diphenyl (compound 2) were studied by electrophoresis technique. During the interval 0-2 hours all compounds increased the absolute values of EPM in comparison with control. These changes were of the same kind--distinctions were quantitative. Amixine and compound 1 during the interval 2-4 hours additionally increased the EPM. The compound 2, on the contrary, decreased the EPM. It was shown that the opposite effects of the aforementioned compounds were caused by the fact that amixine and compound 1 induce, and compound 2 does not induce IFN production in T lymphocytes in vitro. The results of our experiments are important for understanding of the mechanisms of immunomodulating effect of amixine and its structural analogues.

Glycans are known to be fundamental for many cellular and physiological functions. Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) currently encompassing over 160 subtypes, are characterized by glycan synthesis and/or processing defects. Despite the increasing number of CDG patients, therapeutic options remain very limited as our knowledge on glycan synthesis is fragmented.

The bHLH (basic Helix-Loop-Helix) transcription factor serves as pivotal controller in plant growth and development. In a previous study, the overexpression of in L. Ailsa Craig (AC) altered the JA (Jasmonic acid) response and endogenous GA (Gibberellic acid) content.

Background: Tacrolimus is widely used as a first-line immunosuppressant in transplant immunology; however, its clinical application is constrained by the narrow therapeutic index and considerable interindividual variability. In this study, we identified the potential regulatory role of a novel promoter polymorphism, rs4519508 C > T, in the tacrolimus pharmacodynamic pathway.
Methods: Dual-luciferase reporter assays and bioinformatic analysis were applied to assess the impact of allelic variation.

The peritrophic matrix (PM) acts as a physical barrier that influences the vector competence of mosquitoes. We have previously shown that gut microbiota promotes PM formation in Anopheles stephensi, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identify that the cell wall components of gut commensal bacteria contribute to PM formation.
