Role of inflammasomes in innate host defense against <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Intestinal amebiasis is the disease caused by the extracellular protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica (Eh) that induces a dynamic and heterogeneous interaction profile with the host immune system during disease pathogenesis. In 90% of asymptomatic infection, Eh resides with indigenous microbiota in the outer mucus layer of the colon without prompting an immune response. However, for reasons that remain unclear, in a minority of the Eh-infected individuals, this fine tolerated relationship is switched to a pathogenic phenotype and advanced to an increasingly complex host-parasite interaction. Eh disease susceptibility depends on parasite virulence factors and their interactions with indigenous bacteria, disruption of the mucus bilayers, and adherence to the epithelium provoking host immune cells to evoke a robust pro-inflammatory response mediated by inflammatory caspases and inflammasome activation. To understand Eh pathogenicity and innate host immune responses, this review highlights recent advances in our understanding of how Eh induces outside-in signaling via Mϕs to activate inflammatory caspases and inflammasome to regulate pro-inflammatory responses.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
