We found that pathogens activate only CG45045, while the transcription levels of CR30055 and CG44404 remain unchanged. No activation of Cecropin C and some Bomanin family genes was observed, suggesting differing patterns of immune response gene activation in S2 cells and adult flies. The highest activation of CG45045 was observed between 6 and 12 hours of cell incubation with pathogens. The activation patterns of CG45045 after exposure to E. coli and M. luteus were similar, suggesting common mechanisms of transcriptional activation of this gene.

These enzymes are widely present in various organs and tissues, and the HETEs they synthesize perform an important function in the regulation of immune reactions and haemostasis processes under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. More researchers confirm the role of these oxidized metabolites in modulating inflammation in asthma. The high production of HETEs in allergic and severe asthma indicates their involvement in the processes of an acute inflammatory response. On the other hand, disturbance of the metabolic transformation of arachidonic acid contributes to the development of chronic inflammation due to insufficient synthesis of mediators that resolve inflammatory processes. Several HETEs have both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, which underscores the ongoing interest in their involvement in the pathogenesis of asthma. At the same time, research results are scarce. Based on an analysis of the literature, the pathways of metabolic transformation of 5-HETE, 12-HETE, and 15-HETE with the participation of cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P-450, as well as their role in asthma pathogenesis, were discussed.

A promising candidate for the role of a universal immunohistochemical marker of resident macrophages is the calcium-binding protein Iba-1, a well-known marker of brain microglia. The purpose of this work was to study the possibility of using one variant of antibodies to the Iba-1 protein for the immunohistochemical detection of resident macrophages in the liver, myocardium, lung, and choroid plexus of the rat brain. The study was performed on male Wistar rats (<i>n</i> = 15). It was shown that the use of rabbit monoclonal antibodies against Iba-1 allows highly effective detection of Kupffer cells in the liver, resident macrophages in the myocardium, alveolar and interstitial macrophages in the lung, and Kolmer cells in the choroid plexus of the rat brain. In all cases, the reaction is characterized by a high specificity and the absence of background staining. In contrast to the classical marker of macrophages, the CD68 molecule, the Iba-1 protein is evenly distributed in the cytoplasm of cell bodies and processes. This makes it possible to more fully identify cells using immunostaining for Iba-1, carry out their three-dimensional reconstructions, and study their structural and functional organization. Immunohistochemical reaction against Iba-1 can be successfully used as a universal alternative to other common methods for identifying resident macrophages.</p>","PeriodicalId":529,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
