Inhibition of lysosomal enzyme release from rat leukocytes by auranofinInflammation - Tập 2 - Trang 131-142 - 1977
M. J. Dimartino, D. T. Walz
Auranofin (SK&F D-39162), a new antiarthritic gold compound reported to be
orally effective in animal (adjuvant rat) and human (rheumatoid) arthritic
conditions, is a potent in vitro inhibitor of the release of lysosomal enzymes
from phagocytizing rat leukocytes. Auranofin, at micromolar concentrations
(1–10μM), produced a dose-dependent reduction in extra-cellular levels of
lysosomal enzyme marke... hiện toàn bộ
Activation of Transcription Factors and IL-8 Expression in Neutrophils Stimulated with Lipopolysaccharide from Porphyromonas gingivalisInflammation - Tập 22 - Trang 253-267 - 1998
Noriko Sugita, Asako Kimura, Yutaka Matsuki, Tadashi Yamamoto, Hiromasa Yoshie, Kohji Hara
DNA binding activity of NF-κB and AP-1 were examined in neutrophils stimulated
with LPS purified from P. gingivalis, a major pathogenic bacteria of
periodontitis lesion. Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS enhanced the activity
reaching a peak at a concentration of 500 ng/ml in the absence of serum. The
NF-κB activation stimulated with 10 ng/ml of P. gingivalis LPS was suppressed
approximately 44% by tre... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of Human Secretory Group IIA Phospholipase A2 is Associated with Reduced Concentrations of Plasma Cholesterol in Transgenic MiceInflammation - Tập 24 - Trang 227-237 - 2000
Mario Menschikowski, Rolf Eckey, Jens Pietzsch, Johannes Aufenanger, Rainer Kumpf, Peter Nelz, Werner Jaross
It is well known that acute and chronic inflammatory reactions are accompanied
by markedly decreased concentrations of plasma total cholesterol. However, the
mechanisms underlying this hypocholesterolemia are not yet completely
understood. To explore the question of whether an increased serum activity of
secretory group IIA phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) may contribute to the development
of hypocholeste... hiện toàn bộ
Role of resident macrophages in canatoxin-induced in vivo neutrophil migrationInflammation - Tập 16 - Trang 1-12 - 1992
C. Barja-Fidalgo, C. R. Carlini, J. A. Guimarães, C. A. Flores, F. Q. Cunha, S. H. Ferreira
Canatoxin (Cntx), a toxic protein purified fromCanavalia ensiformis seeds, was
shown to have lipoxygenase-mediated effects either in vivo or in vitro. Data
here show that Cntx induced a dose-dependent migration of neutrophils and
mononuclear cells when injected into rat peritoneal cavities. Furthermore, Cntx
was able to induce neutrophil migration into pleural cavities and into air
pouches. These ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of leukocyte hydrolases on bacteria xviInflammation - Tập 6 - Trang 269-284 - 1982
Isaac Ginsburg, Meir Lahav, P. Giesbrecht
The mechanisms involved in the activation of autolytic enzymes inStaphylococcus
aureus, by leukocyte extracts, cationic proteins, phospholipase A2, amines, and
membrane-damaging agents was studied in a resting cell system as well as by
growing staphylococci. The bacteria were labeled with [14C]N-acetylglucosamine
and were subjected to a variety of agents either in 0.1 M acetate buffer, pH
5.0, or ... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental Study of the Protective Effect of Simvastatin on Lung Injury in Rats with SepsisInflammation - Tập 41 - Trang 104-113 - 2017
Yu Wang, Wenping Yang, Xin Zhao, Rong Zhang
Simvastatin, which is primarily prescribed to lower cholesterol, may also
mitigate lung injury caused by sepsis, although the mechanisms remain elusive.
This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of simvastatin on acute lung
injury in rats with sepsis and to investigate possible mechanisms. Male Wistar
rats were pretreated with simvastatin (0.2 μg/g) for 1 week before cecal
ligation and pu... hiện toàn bộ
Different Expression of MicroRNA-146a in Peripheral Blood CD4+ T Cells and Lesions of Oral Lichen PlanusInflammation - Tập 39 - Trang 860-866 - 2016
Jian-Guang Yang, Ya-Ru Sun, Guan-Ying Chen, Xue-Yi Liang, Jing Zhang, Gang Zhou
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common T cell-mediated chronic inflammatory
disease of unknown etiology. Recent increasing evidence indicates that
microRNA-146a (miR-146a) plays a vital role in inflammatory diseases and T cell
regulation. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miRNA-146a in
peripheral blood CD4+ T cells and local OLP lesions and to evaluate its
relationship with clinical ... hiện toàn bộ
