A recent study from the Key Laboratory of Infection and Immunity, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China shows that “Sox2 functions as a sequence-specific DNA sensor in neutrophils to initiate innate immunity against microbial infection.” This study was published in the 2 March 2015 issue of the Journal “Nature Immunology” [I.F: 24.973] by Drs. Zusen Fan, Xia and others.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Natural product-based Immune enhancement therapy: Thermostable extract of fenugreek seeds (TEFS) increases SOX2 expression and promotes innate immunity against bacterial infection via down regulation of its target gene. This study suggests, for the first time, fenugreek seeds, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may : (1) increase the expression of Sox2; (2) increase the ability of Sox2 to recognize bacterial DNA in cytoplasm; and (3) promote innate immunity against bacterial infection. Together, pharmacological formulations encompassing ” fenugreek seed extracts or small molecule compounds isolated from fenugreek seed extracts” may be used to (1) enhance innate immunity against bacterial infection; and (2) promote bacterial resistance.
