Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExpression of Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) and Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain (NODs) in murine peritoneal macrophages on in vitro treatment with Thymosin α 1Shikha Tarang, Ajit SodhiThymosin α 1 (Tα1) treatment of murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro induces the expression of TLRs and Nod2 proteins. Enhanced expressions of TLR2, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9 and Nod2 were observed by RT-PCR and western blotting. Expression of downstream signaling molecules - MyD88, IRAK1, TRAF6, IRF3 were also up regulated on treatment with Tα1. It was also observed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,150 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOverview of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells, Endothelial Cells, and Macrophages Apoptosis During Atherosclerosis DevelopmentAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Varvara Alexandrovna Orekhova, Vasily Nikolaevich Sukhorukov et al.Atherosclerosis is a complex disease that has garnered significant attention from researchers studying its various aspects. Its pathogenesis involves a wide array of cellular and molecular components, as well as crucial mechanisms and processes crucial for cellular and organismal functioning. Atherosclerosis is considered a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by disrupted lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and immune response. Apoptosis, a fundamental … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2024 · 4,675 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReduced Levels of Testosterone Induce LDL Oxidation and Atherosclerotic Lesions Involving Inflammatory Imbalance and Reduced Macrophage ApoptosisPlacielle Fiorezi Filete, Flávia de Souza Andrade Moraes, Girlandia Alexandre Brasil et al.Atherosclerosis is among the major cardiovascular diseases that cause death in the world. Men who are deficient in androgen hormones are more susceptible to this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reduced levels of testosterone on the lipid profile, pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages and the development of atherosclerosis in LDLr-/-mice, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 6 Dec 2019 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHigh Level of Nicotianamine Synthase (NAS3) and Natural Resistance Associated Macrophage Protein (NRAMP4) Gene Transcription Induced by Potassium Nitrate in Trembling Aspen (Populus tremuloides)Karolina M. Czajka, Kabwe NkongoloChanges in gene transcription in response to excess metal concentrations have been reported in many organisms, including yeast, microorganisms and plants. Most investigations on the effects of nickel toxicity in plants use commercial salts whose effects have not been analyzed in detail. The main objective of the present study was to determine the effects of different doses of nickel nitrate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2018 · 10,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDengue Virus Infection Induced NF-κB-dependent Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor ProductionLien-Cheng Chen, Huey-Wen Shyu, Huan-Yao Lei et al.Dengue virus (DV) infection can cause mild dengue fever or severe dengue hemorrhage fever and dengue shock syndrome. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a cytokine that plays an important role in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses and serum levels of MIF are correlated with disease severity in dengue patients. However, the mechanism that induces MIF production during … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydroxyapatite-induced Phagocytic Activity by Murine Macrophages in vitroV.K. Gopinath, M. Musa, A.R. Samsudin et al.The aim of the present study was to assess phagocytic activities of murine macrophages (RAW264.7 cell line) to hydroxyapatite (HA) particles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to assess localization of HA particles in the cells at 7, 15, 30 and 60 min. The HA particles and latex beads, as a control, were also incubated with the cells pretreated with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReactive Nitrogen Intermediates Production by Macrophages of Mycobacterium bovis-Infected Goats and Supplemented with Dyhidroxyvitamin D3 in vivoAurora Martinez-Romero, Jose Luis Ortega-Sanchez, Jose Ramon Hernandez-Salgado et al.Problem statement: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's major health problems. To evaluate in vivo indices of cellular sensitization, antigen-induced Reactive Nitrogen Intermediates (RNI) responses by blood mononuclear cells from Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected goats supplemented with 1, 25 dyhidroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25-(OH)2D3]. Approach: An experimental, longitudinal and comparative study was planned. Twelve animals of goat cattle 20-to 24-month-old sannen … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Therapeutic Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Knee Osteoarthritis: Possible Role of Inflammatory CytokinesMohammed H. Hassan, Sawsan Abuhamdah et al.Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease that commonly affects the knee. Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) regulates inflammation during OA. Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) may be involved in the pathophysiology of arthritis. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may reduce pain associated with OA. The present study assessed the possible therapeutic effects of PRP in patients with OA of the knee with varying … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2021 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDouble Application of Translocator Protein Ligands and RAW Cells Inflammatory MilieuMaria Staykova, Filomena Mattner, David Linares, Andrew KatsifisLigands targeting the translocator protein exhibit a variety of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. A double application of eight translocator protein ligands to activated murine macrophage-like cells changed to a different extent the levels of secreted reactive nitrogen intermediates, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. To our knowledge this is the first report suggesting that multiple applications of different translocator protein ligands may … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2016 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
