Parasites are arguably among the strongest drivers of natural selection, constraining hosts to evolve resistance and tolerance mechanisms. Although, the genetic basis of adaptation to parasite infection has been widely studied, little is known about how epigenetic changes contribute to parasite resistance and eventually, adaptation. Here, we investigated the role of host DNA methylation modifications to respond to parasite infections. In a controlled infection experiment, we used the three-spined stickleback fish, a model species for host-parasite studies, and their nematode parasite Camallanus lacustris. We showed that the levels of DNA methylation are higher in infected fish. Results furthermore suggest correlations between DNA methylation and shifts in key fitness and immune traits between infected and control fish, including respiratory burst and functional trans-generational traits such as the concentration of motile sperm. We revealed that genes associated with metabolic, developmental and regulatory processes (cell death and apoptosis) were differentially methylated between infected and control fish. Interestingly, genes such as the neuropeptide FF receptor 2 and the integrin alpha 1 as well as molecular pathways including the Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation were hypermethylated in infected fish, suggesting parasite-mediated repression mechanisms of immune responses. Altogether, we demonstrate that parasite infection contributes to genome-wide DNA methylation modifications. Our study brings novel insights into the evolution of vertebrate immunity and suggests that epigenetic mechanisms are complementary to genetic responses against parasite-mediated selection. © The Author(s) 2020.

Danirixin solubility dmso Early diagnosis and treatment are important to minimize the risk of these complications. We systematically reviewed the accuracy of diagnostic tests for first-episode and recurrent DVT of the lower extremities, including proximal compression ultrasonography (US), whole leg US, serial US, and high-sensitivity quantitative D-dimer assays. We searched Cochrane Central, MEDLINE, and EMBASE for eligible studies, reference lists of relevant reviews, registered trials, and relevant conference proceedings. Two investigators screened and abstracted data. Risk of bias was assessed using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 and certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. We pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity. The review included 43 studies. For any suspected DVT, the pooled estimates for sensitivity and specificity of proximal compression US were 90.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86.5-92.8) and 98.5% (95% CI, 97.6-99.1), respectively. For whole-leg US, pooled estimates were 94.0% (95% CI, 91.3-95.9) and 97.3% (95% CI, 94.8-98.6); for serial US pooled estimates were 97.9% (95% CI, 96.0-98.9) and 99.8% (95% CI, 99.3-99.9). For D-dimer, pooled estimates were 96.1% (95% CI, 92.6-98.0) and 35.7% (95% CI, 29.5-42.4). Recurrent DVT studies were not pooled. Certainty of evidence varied from low to high. This systematic review of current diagnostic tests for DVT of the lower extremities provides accuracy estimates. The tests are evaluated when performed in a stand-alone fashion, and in a diagnostic pathway. The pretest probability of DVT often assessed by a clinical decision rule will influence how, together with sensitivity and specificity estimates, patients will be managed. © 2020 by The American Society of Hematology.The Rose Bengal (RB) dye-based photothrombotic stroke (PTS) model has many methodological advantages including consistent location and size of infarct, low mortality, and relatively simple surgical procedures. However, the standard PTS has the caveat of poor responses to tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)-mediated lytic treatment, likely as a result of the platelet-rich, fibrin-poor content of the blood clots. Here we tested whether the admixture of thrombin (80 U/kg) and RB dye (50 mg/kg) in the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA)-targeted PTS will modify the clot composition and elevate the responsiveness to tPA-lytic treatment (Alteplase, 10 mg/kg). Indeed, intravital imaging, immunostaining, and immunoblot analyses showed less-compacted platelet aggregates with a higher fibrin content in the modified thrombin (T) plus RB photothrombotic stroke (T+RB-PTS) model compared with the standard RB-PTS-induced clots. Both RB-PTS and T+RB-PTS showed steady recovery of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the ischemic border from 1 day after infarction, but without recanalization of the proximal MCA branch. Intravital imaging showed high potency of restoring the blood flow by tPA after single vessel-targeted T+RB-PTS. Further, although intravenous tPA failed to restore CBF or attenuate infarction in RB-PTS, it conferred 25% recovery of CBF and 55% reduction of the infarct size in T+RB-PTS (P less then .05) if tPA was administered within 2 hours postphotoactivation. These results suggest that T+RB-PTS produces mixed plateletfibrin clots closer to the clinical thrombus composition and enhanced the sensitivity to tPA-lytic treatment. As such, the modified photothrombosis may be a useful tool to develop more effective thrombolytic therapies of cerebral ischemia. © 2020 by The American Society of Hematology.Few studies have compared the incidence of infections occurring ≥2 years after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with other cancer patients and the general population. In this study, ≥2-year HCT survivors who were Washington residents treated from 1992 through 2009 (n = 1792; median age, 46 years; 52% allogeneic; 90% hematologic malignancies) were matched to individuals from the state cancer registry (n = 5455, non-HCT) and driver's license files (n = 16 340; Department of Licensing [DOL]). Based on hospital and death registry codes, incidence rate ratios (IRRs; 95% confidence interval [CI]) of infections by organism type and organ system were estimated using Poisson regression. With 7-year median follow-up, the incidence rate (per 1000 person-years) of all infections was 65.4 for HCT survivors vs 39.6 for the non-HCT group (IRR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-1.9) and 7.2 for DOL (IRR, 10.0; 95% CI, 8.3-12.1). Bacterial and fungal infections were each 70% more common in HCT vs non-HCT cancer survivors (IRR, 1.7; P less then .
