Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular prokaryotic human pathogen that causes community-acquired respiratory infection and has been associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Unexpected results from genomic sequencing indicate that significant intrastrain polymorphism exists for some C. pneumoniae isolates. These polymorphisms could reflect genotypes with differing disease-causing characteristics. A definitive means to test this hypothesis is to obtain genetically homogeneous clonal populations of the pathogen and test them in models of infection and disease. To date, methods for cloning C. pneumoniae have not been reported. In this study, we describe the isolation of clonal variants with genetic differences in the tyrP locus from a polymorphic respiratory isolate, using a novel focus-forming assay. These results now allow investigations on the biology and pathogenesis of C. pneumoniae clonal genovars that could lead to new insights into the pathogenesis of this important human pathogen.

Identification of the Staphylococcus aureus etd pathogenicity island which encodes a novel exfoliative toxin, ETD, and EDIN-B.

We identified a novel pathogenicity island in Staphylococcus aureus which contains open reading frames (ORFs) similar to the exfoliative toxin (ET) gene, glutamyl endopeptidase gene, and edin-B gene in tandem and the phage resistance gene, flanked by hsdM, hsdS (restriction and modification system), and IS256. The protein encoded by the ET-like gene showed 40, 59, and 68% amino acid sequence identities with exfoliative toxin A (ETA), exfoliative toxin B (ETB), and Staphylococcus hyicus ETB (ShETB), respectively. When injected into neonatal mice, the recombinant protein derived from the ET-like gene induced exfoliation of the skin with loss of cell-to-cell adhesion in the upper part of the epidermis as observed in histological examinations, just as was found in neonatal mice injected with ETA or ETB. Western blot analysis indicated that the recombinant protein is serologically distinct from ETA and ETB. Therefore, the product encoded by this new ORF is a new ET member produced by S. aureus and is termed ETD. ETD did not induce blisters in 1-day-old chickens. In the skins of mice injected with ETD, cell surface staining of desmoglein 1 (Dsg1), a cadherin type cell-to-cell adhesion molecule in desmosomes, was abolished without affecting that of desmoglein 3 (Dsg3). Furthermore, in vitro incubation of the recombinant extracellular domains of Dsg1 and Dsg3 with the recombinant protein demonstrated that both mouse and human Dsg1, but not Dsg3, were directly cleaved in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that ETD and ETA induce blister formation by identical pathophysiological mechanisms. Clinical strains positive for edin-B were suggested to be clonally associated, and all edin-B-positive strains tested were positive for etd. Among 18 etd-positive strains, 12 produced ETD extracellularly. Interestingly, these strains are mainly isolated from other sources of infections and not from patients with bullous impetigo or staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome. This strongly suggests that ETD might play a pathogenic role in a broader spectrum of bacterial infections than previously considered.

Discrete proteolysis of focal contact and adherens junction components in Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected oral keratinocytes: a strategy for cell adhesion and migration disabling.

Adhesive interactions of cells are critical to tissue integrity. We show that infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major pathogen in the periodontal disease periodontitis, interferes with both cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion in the oral keratinocyte cell line HOK-16. Thus, infected cells showed reduced adhesion to extracellular matrix, changes in morphology from spread to rounded, and impaired motility on purified matrices in Transwell migration assays and scratch assays. Western blot analysis of P. gingivalis-challenged HOK-16 cells revealed proteolysis of focal contact components (e.g., focal adhesion kinase), adherens junction proteins (e.g., catenins), and adhesion signaling molecules (e.g., the tyrosine kinase SRC). Proteolysis was selective, since important components of adherens junctions (E-cadherin) or signaling molecules (extracellular signal-regulated kinases ERK1/2) were not degraded. The virulence factors gingipains, cysteine proteinases expressed by P. gingivalis, are likely responsible for this proteolytic attack, since they directly digested specific proteins in pull-down experiments, and their proteolytic activity was blocked by the cysteine proteinase inhibitor N-alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone and also by a caspase inhibitor. Proteolysis was strain dependent, such that ATCC 33277 and 381 had high proteolytic potential, whereas W50 showed almost no proteolytic activity. These findings may help explain the formation of gingival pockets between cementum and periodontal epithelium, a hallmark of periodontitis. Furthermore, they illustrate a new pathogenetic paradigm of infection whereby bacteria may disrupt the integrity of epithelia.

A uropathogenicity island contributes to the pathogenicity of Escherichia coli strains that cause neonatal meningitis.

We report that the archetypal Escherichia coli strain C5 causing neonatal meningitis harbors a pathogenicity island (PAI) designated PAI I(C5) that is similar to the PAI II(J96) of uropathogenic E. coli J96 inserted in the leuX-tRNA gene. PAI-negative C5 mutants had a lower capacity than C5 to induce high-level bacteremia in a neonatal rat model. However, no change in their resistance to the bactericidal effect of serum and their capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier was observed.

TE7, An Inefficient Symbiotic Mutant of Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv Jemalong.

Laboratoire de Biologie Moleculaire des Relations Plantes-Microorganismes, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, BP27 Auzeville, 31326 Castanet-Tolosan Cedex, France, (V.B., V.L., T.H.).

A mutagenesis program using ethylmethane sulfonate on Medicago truncatula Gaertn cv Jemalong, an annual, autogamous and diploid lucerne, permitted the isolation of a mutant (TE7) unable to establish an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, [Nod+Fix-], with Rhizobium meliloti wild-type strains. The mutant phenotype is characterized by an altered infection process that leads to the formation of two kinds of inefficient nodules on the same root system. A certain proportion of the nodules are small, round, and uninfected, with infection threads limited to the outer root cortical cells. Others develop to a normal elongated shape and are infected; bacterial release occurs but the bacteria do not differentiate into bacteroids. The ratio of invaded to uninvaded nodules depends on the bacterial strain used. Throughout the infection process, certain events correlated with the plant defense response against pathogens can be observed: (a) the presence of polyphenolic compounds associated with the walls of infected cells and also with some parts of infection threads in the root cortex; (b) appositions on infection thread walls during the early stage of infection and also within the central tissue of infected nodules; and (c) autophagy of the plant cells that contain released bacteria. Genetic data suggest that the phenotype of TE7 is under monogenic and recessive control; this gene has been designated Mtsym1.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and baldness is a problem in many ways. Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context. Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world. Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to DHT.

There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss and promotes hair growth. Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
