Studies on nuclear receptors of thyroid receptor beta and retinoid X receptors (1 and 2) in Schistosoma japonicum

Abstract

摘要 血吸虫病是血吸虫感染引起的一种世界性分布、危害严重的人畜共患寄生虫病。吡喹酮是目前唯一一种大规模使用的治疗血吸虫病的药物,但由于其不能阻止重复感染或对现有的损伤起修复作用;同时已有血吸虫对吡喹酮产生耐药性的报道。因而研制有效的疫苗和加强新药物靶标的筛选是当前血吸虫病防治的重大需求。血吸虫寄生于宿主的血液循环系统,为了能维持正常发育以宿主的血液成分为食,并对宿主体内的分子信号做出反应。血吸虫基因组研究表明,血吸虫可以利用宿主提供的一些激素、生长因子等促进自身的生长。这些激素、生长因子很可能通过核受体起作用。配体与核受体的特异性结合的存在,为我们提供了精确地干扰寄生虫生化途径的可能,并预示...Schistosomiasis caused by parasitic blood flukes is one of the worldwide-spread zoonotic parasitic diseases. Even though praziquantel is highly effective in curing schistosomiasis, it still has its limitations that can not prevent high frequency of re-infection and remedy the existing impairment. Moreover, it is reported that praziquantel-resistant parasites have already emerged as a result of the...学位:理学博士院系专业:生命科学学院生物学系_动物学学号:2172009015353
