PE/PPE family proteins are mycobacteria unique molecules, named after their N-terminal conserved PE (Pro-Glu) and PPE (Pro-Pro-Glu) domains. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) PE family gene encoded cell surface proteins are previously reported to be involved in virulence and interaction with host. To explore the role of a novel PE member (PE13, Rv1195), M. smegmatis was used as surrogate host. The...
To discover a role of glucocorticoid on interleukin-6 (IL-6)-induced responses of a macrophage, we investigated the effect of IL-6 and/or dexamethasone (Dex) on cellular functions of a mouse macrophage cell line (Mm1 cells). The results obtained were as follows. (1) Dex decreased the accumulation of tumor necrosis factor-α induced by IL-6, whereas nitric oxide production was enhanced by Dex. Moreover,...
