A procedure for incorporation of isolated cattle brain Na,K-ATPase into erythrocyte membranes by proteoliposomes has been elaborated. The Na,K-ATPase activity of proteoliposome-treated human erythrocytes containing incorporated Na,K-ATPase does not exceed that of control erythrocytes. In the erythrocyte membrane the incorporated enzyme exists in a functionally active state and retains the vector properties of the Na+-pump. Exogenous ATP stimulates 22Na influx and 86Rb efflux in and from the erythrocytes.

Oxidative stress is widely recognized as a key mechanism in the development of hypertension. Under pathological conditions, such as in hypertension, oxidative stress leads to irreversible posttranslational modifications of proteins, which result in loss of protein function and cellular damage. We have previously documented physiological and morphological changes across various blood and bone marrow cell lineages, all of which exhibit elevated oxidative stress.

Immediately after invading their chosen host cell, the mature human erythrocyte, malaria parasites begin to export an array of proteins to this compartment, where they initiate processes that are prerequisite for parasite survival and propagation, including nutrient import and immune evasion. One consequence of these activities is the emergence of novel adhesive phenotypes that can lead directly to pathology in the human host. To identify parasite proteins involved in this process, we used modern genetic tools to target genes encoding 15 exported parasite proteins, selected by an in silico workflow.

Background: The recently identified swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome (SINS) affects tail, ears, teats, coronary bands, claws and heels of affected individuals. The primarily endogenous syndrome is based on vasculitis, thrombosis, and intimal proliferation, involving defence cells, interleukins, chemokines, and acute phase proteins and accompanied by alterations in clinical chemistry, metabolome, and liver transcriptome. The complexity of metabolic alterations and the influence of the boar led to hypothesize a polygenic architecture of SINS.
