Differential replicative fitness of the four dengue virus serotypes circulating in Colombia in human liver Huh7 cells

Braz. j. infect. dis; 24 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Dengue has been a significant public health problem in Colombia since the simultaneous circulation of the four dengue virus serotypes. The replicative fitness of dengue is a biological feature important for virus evolution and contributes to elucidating the behavior of virus populations and vira...

Preparation of Zoledronate liposome and its impact on apoptosis of Kupffer cells in rat liver

Acta cir. bras; 33 (12), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To establish a method for the preparation of zoledronate liposome and to observe its effect on inducing the apoptosis of rat liver Kupffer cells. Methods: Zoledronate was encapsulated in liposomes, and then the entrapment rate was detected on a spectrophotometer. The prepared Zoledro...

Hallmarks of liver lesions in pigs naturally infected by hepatitis E virus genotype 3

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (1), 2018
Histopathological evaluation of liver from 33 pigs slaughtered for human consumption in Amazon region, previously tested by serology and molecular techniques for hepatitis E virus infection (HEV), was analysed in three groups: Group 1, negative for both HEV-RNA and anti-HEV IgG (n=10); Group 2, positive ...

Gastrodin induced HO-1 and Nrf2 up-regulation to alleviate H2O2-induced oxidative stress in mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells through p38 MAPK phosphorylation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (10), 2018
Nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been implicated in several detoxifying and antioxidant defense processes. Nrf2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression was demonstrated to play a key role against oxidative stress. Gastrodin (GSTD) is a well-known active compound isolated from the ...

Distribution and morphology of ghrelin-immunopositive cells in the liver of the African ostrich

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Ghrelin is the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, and has been found in the liver of multiple vertebrates.

Cancer Stem Cells are Depolarized Relative to Normal Stem Cells Derived from Human Livers

Ann. hepatol; 16 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction and aim. The inability to distinguish cancer (CSCs) from normal stem cells (NSCs) has hindered attempts to identify safer, more effective therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to document and compare cell membrane potential differences (PDs) of CS...
