- T-2毒素是一种常见于谷物和谷物食品中的高度有毒的真菌毒素.
- 通过饮食接触T-2毒素对一般人群构成风险.
- 了解T-2毒素的细胞机制对于评估其对健康的影响至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究T-2毒素对HepG2细胞的影响,重点关注形态变化,氧化应激和炎症反应.
- 在暴露于T-2毒素时分析关键的炎症性细胞因子 (IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α) 和参与氧化应激的蛋白质 (Nrf2,HO-1).
主要方法:
- 暴露于不同度的T-2毒素 (7. 5, 15 和 30 nM).
- 使用间接免疫光检测评估了形态变化.
- 通过 qPCR 和 Western blot 试验量化了mRNA和蛋白质表达水平.
主要成果:
- 暴露于T-2毒素导致HepG2细胞的度依赖性形态变化,从圆形转变为延长形状.

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway
7.8K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Liver Regeneration

The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...
