Sentence examples for antimicrobial gene expression from inspiring English sources

A ligand and G protein coupled receptor activate antimicrobial gene expression in the Caenorhabditis elegans epidermis, in response to wounding and to infection with a fungal pathogen.

A few recent in vitro studies have shown that differences in the cytokine environment could be responsible for the observed differences in antimicrobial gene expression, as it was shown that IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10 downregulate defensin expression[7], [8].

The transcription analyses indicated the cardia as a major site of antimicrobial gene expression.

In Drosophila, the metabolic and immune consequences of aging are tightly correlated, as individuals that show increased antimicrobial gene expression also show systemic metabolic dysfunction [ 4].

Several SFPs analysed in D. melanogaster seem to have direct antimicrobial activity, protecting the male and subsequently the female reproductive tracts and even eggs against bacterial infection [ 59, 60] and/or stimulation of antimicrobial gene expression levels [ 61].

Although this is the first study, to our knowledge, to implicate IL-22 in the host immune response against anthrax, recent analysis of the role of IL-22 in Th17 mediated host immunity to bacteria at barrier surfaces [ 32], demonstrates the importance of this cytokine in facilitating antimicrobial gene expression.

Activation of cell signaling pathways is crucial for the induction of antimicrobial genes expression upon pathogen exposure.

Apidianakis, Y. et al. Profiling early infection responses: Pseudomonas aeruginosa eludes host defenses by suppressing antimicrobial peptide gene expression.

Labed, S.A., Omi, S., Gut, M., Ewbank, J.J. & Pujol, N. The pseudokinase NIPI-4 is a novel regulator of antimicrobial peptide gene expression.

The activation of antimicrobial peptides gene expression in particular, and the non-specific immune system in general, by feeding sulphated polysaccharides (FRSE) is thought to be mediated primarily through their recognition by specific receptors.

The induction of SMG expression in response to infection is coupled to antimicrobial peptide gene expression through a common upstream signaling pathway [17], [18].
