课程内容简介(英文) KCJJY"Cellular Microbiology introduce the intersection of microbial and host-cell biology, emphasizing most recent researches that probes pathogen-host interactions, which start at the point of microbial adhesion to cellular receptors and include the variety of interactions that occur inside the cell, such as how cells alter signaling pathways and gene regulation. Knowledge of cellular microbiology will provide a deeper understanding of the evolution of pathogenicity and host-parasite relationships. To draw students into this field and create opportunities for them to get more training and be capable of a high level of competence and professionalism in their postgraduate careers, we offer the interdepartmental graduate course called ""Cellular Microbiology"". Course content includes 5 special topics (20 semester hours): 1.Introduction to cellular microbiology, emphasizing on microbial pathogenecity: microbe adherence; mechanisms of bacterial internalization; protein secretion of extracellular bacterial pathogens; hijacking of eukaryotic functions by bacterial pathogens, including targeting of the cytoskeleton during infection, disrupting the balance between apoptosis and proliferation, induction of immune response and bacterial strategies for overcoming host innate and adaptive immune responses; bacterial responses to host environment, helping the bacteria survive the unfavorable environment.2.Overview of cell biology that provides fundamental knowledge for the study of cellular microbiology.3.Bacterial secretion system; pathogenicity or virulence island.4.Cell-Mediated Immunity: induction and regulation by pathogenic agents. 5.Methods for study of cellular microbiology, which provides potent technological backup for the seeking of new microbial virulence factors and the research on pathogen-host interactions, for example, signature tagged mutagenesis (STM), in vivo expression technology (IVET), in vivo induced antigen technology (IVIAT), microarray technology, subtractive hybridisation (SH), suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH), yeast two-hybrid, phage display, etc." |
