The state of apoptosis factor system in mitochondria of skin and tumor cells in standard and stimulated growth of B16/F10 melanoma in female C57BL/6 mice by E. M. Frantsiyants, I. V. Neskubina, E. I. Surikova, A. I. Shikhlyarova, I. V. Kaplieva, L. A. Nemashkalova, L. K. Trepitaki

“…In mitochondria of the tumor cells within 1–3 weeks, levels of Са2+ decreased over time by 37.2–96.1 times, respectively, AIF by 49.4–2.0 times, Bcl‑2 by 3.0–1.5 times, cytochrome C by 15.3–8.8 times, and caspase‑9 increased by 1.7–4.4 times compared with the level in animals with pain. Conclusions. In general, the growth of melanoma stimulated by chronic pain and the standard melanoma growth were characterized by the opposite dynamics of levels of apoptosis factor both in mitochondria of skin cells and in mitochondria of tumor cells, with the exception of cytochrome C. …”

A Ferritin-Based Eg95 Nanoparticle Vaccine Adjuvanted with pCpG Eliciting Robust Immune Responses Against Cystic Echinococcosis in Mice Model by Gao X, Zhu X, Liu X, Zhou C, Shang Y, Wu T, Jia H, Zhang Z, Li Y, Xin T

“…The safety and efficacy of the vaccine were evaluated in vitro and in vivo.Results: The nanovaccine induced potent and enduring Eg95-specific humoral and cellular immune responses, as well as protective immunity-associated Th1 polarization supported by the higher ratios of IgG2a/IgG1 and IFN-γ/IL-4. Meanwhile, this nanovaccines exhibited favorable safety and economic profiles.Conclusion: Our data demonstrated that the ferritin-CpG hybrid is a promising combination adjuvant to upgrade the traditional Quil-A and this combination adjuvant-based nanovaccine presents good potential as an alternative to the commercial one for practical CE control. …”

Wnt/β-catenin signalling underpins juvenile Fasciola hepatica growth and development. by Rebecca Armstrong, Nikki J Marks, Timothy G Geary, John Harrington, Paul M Selzer, Aaron G Maule

“…Wnt signalling pathways govern a myriad of stem cell processes during embryogenesis and drive tumorigenesis in adult tissues in animals. Here, we identify five putative Wnt ligands and five Frizzled receptors in liver fluke transcriptomic datasets and find that Wnt/β-catenin signalling is most active in juveniles, the most pathogenic life stage. …”
