Lisääntyvätkö lonkkamurtumat?
No full text• Lonkkamurtuma on osteoporoosin merkittävin päätetapahtuma. Se kasvattaa terveydenhuollon kustannuksia ja lisää ylikuolleisuutta.
• Murtumien määrä suurenee väestön ikääntyessä, joskin ilmaantuvuuden kasvun on todettu tasaantuvan.
• Murtumien ehkäisyssä osteoporoosin hoito ja kaatumisten välttäminen ovat avainasemassa
Mechanism of biomimetic virus-like nanoparticles in triggering immune response elucidated by proteomics
No full textThe use of biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) with virus-like morphology have recently attracted research interest as novel delivery platforms and immune adjuvants. However, the exact interactions between the nanoparticles and immune cells as well as the mechanism involved are not known in detail. This motivated us to develop virus-like mesoporous silica nanoparticles (VLP) to characterize their physicochemical properties, and to determine the immune pathways induced by the particles in mouse macrophages. The results showed inclusion of spikes mimicking viral structures on the surface increased cellular uptake and enhanced immune response as compared to spherical NPs. Proteomic analysis revealed that the pathways of RIG-I-like receptor signaling, MAPK, NF-κB, and Toll-like receptor signaling were involved in regulating the immune response when macrophages interacted with VLP. When the spikes increased from 5 to 30 nm, the expression of immune-related proteins including TRAF6 and PIAS4 proteins was upregulated. This study revealed the interaction pathways and key proteins in the activation of immune response with VLP, which may provide insights to develop novel immunotherapy for enhanced efficacy
