Mycobacterium leprae binds to a 25-kDa phosphorylated glycoprotein of human peripheral nerve.

Abstract:

:Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, specifically invades and destroys the peripheral nerve, which results in the main clinical manifestation of the disease. Little is known about the bacteria-nerve protein interaction. We show in the present work that M leprae binds to a 25 kDa glycoprotein from human peripheral nerve. This protein is phosphorylatable and it binds to lectins which have alpha-mannose specificity. This M leprae-protein interaction could be of importance in the pathogenesis of leprosy.

  • Inhibition of MicroRNA-195 Alleviates Neuropathic Pain by Targeting Patched1 and Inhibiting SHH Signaling Pathway Activation.

    abstract::Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a type of chronic neuropathic pain that is caused by peripheral nerve lesions that result from various conditions, including the compression of vessels, tumors and viral infections. MicroRNAs (miRs) are increasingly recognized as potential regulators of neuropathic pain. Previous evidence ...
