Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and Aquatic Environment: An Overview of Principles and Criteria of Fundamental Processes

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the abilities of microorganisms and plants in terms of tolerance and degradation of heavy metals is presented, with special reference to the genomics of heavy metal accumulator plants and the identification of functional genes involved in tolerance and detoxification.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PPE18 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Interacts with TLR2 and Activates IL-10 Induction in Macrophage

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one of the PPE proteins, PPE18 can stimulate macrophages to secrete IL-10, known to favor a Th2 type response, and may trigger an anti-inflammatory response by inducing IL- 10 production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early secreted antigen esat-6 of mycobacterium tuberculosis promotes protective t helper 17 cell responses in a toll-like receptor-2-dependent manner

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that early secreted antigenic target protein 6 (ESAT-6), expressed by the virulent M. tb strain H37Rv but not by BCG, promotes vaccine-enhancing Th17 cell responses, which indicates that, in addition to Th1 immunity induced byBCG, RD1/ESAT 6-induced Th17 immune responses are essential for optimal vaccine efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a novel role of ESAT-6-dependent miR-155 induction during infection of macrophages with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is observed that the virulence‐associated secreted protein ESAT‐6 plays a key role in miR‐155 induction and its subsequent effects on Bach1 and SHIP1 repression, and the results offer new insights into the role of miRNAs in modulation of the host innate immune response by M.tb.
