- 30 July 2013
This study showed that Sf9 and Spli221 cells undergo low level apoptosis under normal culture conditions, but not Hi5 cells, which suggests that innexon-promoted apoptosis may be involving the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

It is shown that ABs transmitted immunosuppressive signaling, causing recipient cells to undergo apoptosis and dismigration, and suggest that integration-mediated eIF5A hypusination drives extracellular vesicles for continuous immunOSuppression.

Data show that viral IκB-like transcription does not inhibit host NF-κB/IκB expression, suggesting that transcription of these genes might be regulated by different mechanisms.
A Transcriptome Analysis Suggests Apoptosis-Related Signaling Pathways in Hemocytes of Spodoptera litura After Parasitization by Microplitis bicoloratus
- Ming Li, Zunyu Pang, Kaijun Luo
- BiologyPLoS ONE
- 28 October 2014
A new RNAseq-based comparative analysis of the hemocytes transcriptomes of non-parasitized and parasitized S. litura hemocytes suggests that M. bicoloratus parasitism may regulate host mitochondria to trigger internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and facilitates the identification of immunosuppression-related genes.
