TLR Polymorphisms in FMF: Association of TLR-2 (Arg753Gln) and TLR-4 (Asp299Gly, Thre399Ile) Polymorphisms and Myeloid Cell TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression with the Development of Secondary Amyloidosis in FMFInflammation - Tập 34 - Trang 379-387 - 2010

Amyloidosis is the major complication of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Toll-like receptors (TLR) are involved in the activation of an innate immune system TLR-2 and TLR-4 recognize lipoteichoic acid and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), respectively. While TLR-2 Arg753Gln polymorphism upregulates, TLR-4 Asp299Gly and Thre399Ile polymorphisms downregulate inflammation. We investigated the effect of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of IL-1β on MMP-9 Expression in Cementoblast-Derived Cell Line and MMP-Mediated Degradation of Type I CollagenInflammation - Tập 42 - Trang 413-425 - 2019

It has been reported that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are induced by many cytokines, and they are involved in various inflammatory processes, including periodontitis. However, the effects of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on MMP-9 expression in cementoblasts, the cells responsible for cementum production, remain largely unknown. In this study, we used qPCR and gelatin zymogram analysis to show that I...... hiện toàn bộ
Distinct Regulation of CXCL10 Production by Cytokines in Human Salivary Gland Ductal and Acinar CellsInflammation - Tập 41 - Trang 1172-1181 - 2018

CXCL10, a CXC chemokine induced by interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], has been observed in a wide variety of chronic inflammatory disorders and autoimmune conditions. Although CXCL10 is known to be overexpressed in the salivary glands of individuals with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), it is unclear which cells produce CXCL10 under what types of stimulations. Here, we investigated the precise molecular m...... hiện toàn bộ
IL-21 Is Increased in Peripheral Blood of Emphysema Mice and Promotes Th1/Tc1 Cell Generation In VitroInflammation - Tập 37 - Trang 745-755 - 2013
Minchao Duan, Ying Huang, Xiaoning Zhong, Haijuan Tang
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) has been reported to be involved in many Th1-associated diseases. However, the alteration and immune regulation of IL-21 in emphysema remains unknown. In this study, we tested the levels of IFN-γ and IL-21 and the frequencies of Th1 and Tc1 in peripheral blood from cigarette smoke (CS)-exposed mice and air-exposed mice and explored the effect of IL-21 on generation of Th1 an...... hiện toàn bộ
Some copper coordination compounds and their antiinflammatory and antiulcer activitiesInflammation - Tập 1 - Trang 317-331 - 1976
John R. J. Sorenson
The anti-inflammatory and antiulcer activities of some copper complexes are presented. Data are provided to show that copper complexes of the clinically used antiarthritic drugs are more potent as antiinflammatory agents, less toxic than the parent compounds, and have potent antiulcer activity. Mechanistic aspects of their biological activities are also discussed in support of their clinical utili...... hiện toàn bộ
Bufalin, a Bioactive Component of the Chinese Medicine Chansu, Inhibits Inflammation and Invasion of Human Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast-Like SynoviocytesInflammation - Tập 37 - Trang 1050-1058 - 2014
Xiaofeng Rong, Weidong Ni, Yongguang Liu, Jun Wen, Chunyan Qian, Linke Sun, Jiajia Wang
Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RAFLSs) contribute to the destruction of cartilage and bone by production of metalloproteinases (MMPs) into the synovial fluid and by direct invasion into extracellular matrix (ECM). Bufalin, a major component of Venenum Bufonis, can attenuate the invasion of various cancer cells. Here, we investigated the effects of bufalin on tumor necrosis fact...... hiện toàn bộ

Protein O Glycosylation Regulates Activation of Hepatic Stellate CellsInflammation - Tập 36 Số 6 - Trang 1248-1252 - 2013
Fan, Xiao, Chuan, Song, Hongshan, Wei
It was reported that O glycosylation is associated with hepatic stellate cell activation and regulates collagen expression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of O glycosylation on the activation of human hepatic stellate cells. We found that the inhibitor of O glycosylation, benzyl-α-GalNAc (2 and 4 mM), could significantly inhibit cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manne...... hiện toàn bộ
Anti-Asthmatic Effects of Ginsenoside Rb1 in a Mouse Model of Allergic Asthma Through Relegating Th1/Th2Inflammation - Tập 38 - Trang 1814-1822 - 2015

The aim of the study was to investigate the anti-asthma effects of ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) and its possible mechanisms. A total of 50 mice were randomly assigned to five experimental groups: control, model, dexamethasone (2 mg/kg), and Rb1 (10 and 20 mg/kg). Airway resistance (RI) was measured; histological studies were evaluated by the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; Th1/Th2, ovalbumin (OVA)-s...... hiện toàn bộ
The involvement of nitric oxide in a mouse model of adult respiratory distress syndromeInflammation - Tập 19 - Trang 599-610 - 1995
Leng Hong Pheng, Caroline Francoeur, Michel Denis
The release of free radicals and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is commonly observed in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following infection or exposure to microbial products. The aim of this study was to scrutinize the involvement of NO in ARDS in a mouse model determined by the sequential exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ...... hiện toàn bộ
