RNase Y mediates posttranscriptional control of the virulence-associated CncR1 small-RNA in Helicobacter pylori by Federico D’Agostino, Eva Pinatel, Alexandra Meynhardt, Vincenzo Scarlato, Andrea Vannini, Davide Roncarati

“…Interestingly, we found that RNase Y is involved in the metabolism of CncR1, a virulence-associated sRNA oppositely modulating bacterial motility and adhesion to host cells. Indeed, RNase Y inactivation led to the accumulation of a 3′-extended CncR1 isoform, which appeared unable to interact in vitro with a known target mRNA. …”

Gastric Cytoprotection as Basis of Gastrointestinal Mucosa Protection and Repair in Erosive Ulcerative Lesions of Various Aetiologies by K. V. Ivashkin, E. A. Izatullaev, V. R. Korneeva

“…SH-containing endogenous substances (L-cysteine, D,L-methionine, GSH) and exogenous molecules (methylmethionine-sulfonium chloride (MMSC), N-acetylcysteine) prevent damage due to the ability to absorb/neutralise free radicals released in xenobiotic-triggered cell damage, inhibit TNF-α expression, reduce the aspirin-induced leukocyte-endothelium adhesion and stimulate mucin release. In experiment, MMSC prevented the ethanol-induced GM damage, stimulated mucin release and its redistribution on the GM surface; in clinical trials, MMSC effectively facilitated remission in duodenal ulcer.Conclusion. …”

Isoferulic acid facilitates effective clearance of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae through targeting capsule. by Tingting Wang, Huaizhi Yang, Qiushuang Sheng, Ying Ding, Jian Zhang, Feng Chen, Jianfeng Wang, Lei Song, Xuming Deng

“…In this way, IFA remarkably reduced capsule thickness and impaired hypercapsule-associated hypermucoviscosity phenotype (HMV), thereby significantly sensitizing hvKP to complement-mediated bacterial killing and accelerating host cell adhesion and phagocytosis. Consequently, IFA facilitated effective bacterial clearance and thus remarkably protected mice from lethal hvKP infection, as evidenced by limited bacterial dissemination and a significant improvement in survival rate. …”
