Influence of the polysaccharide capsule on virulence and fitness of Klebsiella pneumoniae by Lisa Zierke, Rodi Mourad, Thomas P. Kohler, Mathias Müsken, Sven Hammerschmidt

“…The CPS is therefore crucial for both escaping detection by the immune system and enhancing the virulence potential.MethodsIn this study, we generated a non-encapsulated mutant (Kpn2146∆wza) to observe how the CPS interferes with K. pneumoniae adhesion, survival in blood, and invasiveness in an experimental infection model.ResultsInfection of A549 lung epithelial cells showed similar adherence levels for the wild-type and non-capsulated strain, while our data showed a moderately higher internalization of Kpn2146Δwza when compared to the wild-type. …”

Connexin 37 Regulates the Kv1.3 Pathway and Promotes the Development of Atherosclerosis by Minqi Liao, Lihua Chen, Jiongbin Lu, Guangzhu Liang, Yongzhao Yao, Shumin Ouyang, Yanhua Yang, Zhengwei Jian, Suxia Guo

“…Cx37 and Kv1.3 were highly expressed in macrophages of AS mice, and the expression of Kv1.3 and CCL7 decreased after Cx37 was silenced, and the proliferation of macrophages was also decreased. Wild-type mice and AS model mice were treated with Cx37 overexpression vectors and Kv1.3 pathway blocking, and it was found that Cx37 overexpression could improve the blood lipid and blood glucose levels and increase the area of AS in AS mice. …”
