Alcohol-Induced Interactive Phosphorylation of Src and Toll-like Receptor Regulates the Secretion of Inflammatory Mediators by Human AstrocytesJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology - Tập 5 - Trang 533-545 - 2010

Secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules by astrocytes after alcohol treatment was shown to be associated with neuroinflammation. We hypothesized that activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) by ethanol in astrocytes enhanced the secretion of inflammatory agents via the interactive tyrosine phosphorylation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and Src kinase. To test thi...... hiện toàn bộ
STING/NF-κB/IL-6-Mediated Inflammation in Microglia Contributes to Spared Nerve Injury (SNI)-Induced Pain InitiationJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology - Tập 17 - Trang 453-469 - 2021

Innate immune response acts as the first line of host defense against damage and is initiated following the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). For double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensing, interferon gene stimulator (STING) was discovered to be an integral sensor and could mediate the immune and inflammatory response. Selective STING antagonist C-176 was administered and pai...... hiện toàn bộ
Endocytic Trafficking of HIV gp120 is Mediated by Dynamin and Plays a Role in gp120 NeurotoxicityJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology - Tập 12 - Trang 492-503 - 2017

Neurons that endocytose the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) protein gp120 exhibit neurite retraction and activation of caspase-3, suggesting that the endocytic process may be crucial for gp120-mediated neuronal injury. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that internalization and accumulation of gp120 play a role in its neurotoxic effects. In mammalian cells, endocytosis is primarily a dy...... hiện toàn bộ
Advances in Targeted Drug Delivery Approaches for the Central Nervous System Tumors: The Inspiration of NanobiotechnologyJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology - Tập 12 - Trang 84-98 - 2016

At present, brain tumor is among the most challenging diseases to treat and the therapy is limited by the lack of effective methods to deliver anticancer agents across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). BBB is a selective barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain extracellular fluid. In its neuroprotective function, BBB prevents the entry of toxins, as well as most of anticancer agen...... hiện toàn bộ
Intrathecal Administration of an Anti‐nociceptive Non-CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide Reduces Glial Activation and Central SensitizationJournal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology - Tập 16 - Trang 818-834 - 2021

Inflammatory pain associates with spinal glial activation and central sensitization. Systemic administration of IMT504, a non-CpG oligodeoxynucleotide originally designed as an immunomodulator, exerts remarkable anti-allodynic effects in rats with complete Freund´s adjuvant (CFA)-induced hindpaw inflammation. However, the anti-nociceptive mechanisms of IMT504 remain unknown. Here we evaluated whet...... hiện toàn bộ
