Results The review underscores key features of listeriosis, including its historical development, epidemiological trends, notable outbreaks and their public health implications, Listeria pathogenesis, and virulence attributes, recent advancements in detection and prevention, and the economic and social consequences of the disease
Key virulence factors include internalin-mediated host cell adhesion and invasion, flagella-driven motility, the positive regulatory factor A (PrfA)-regulated transcriptional control of major virulence genes, the listeriolysin O-induced disruption of phagosomal membranes, the phospholipase-mediated evasion of host defense mechanisms, actin polymerization-dependent intracellular and intercellular spread, sigma factor-driven stress responses, biofilm formation and the development of resistance to antimicrobial agents
Furthermore, persistent activation of the TCR and the type I IFN- signalling triggered mitochondrial changes via increasing NAD + consumption due to both CD38 overexpression and PARP activation in CD8 + T cells, resulting in lower spare respiratory capacity, decreased bioenergetic fitness and thus increased tendency to die
Meanwhile, immunofluorescence (IF) assay was used to investigate the degree of myotube hypertrophy
