Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Flavonoid, Quercetin, Inhibits HIV-1 Infection in Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Zainulabedin M. Saiyed, Nimisha H. Gandhi, C. N. RamchandProblem statement: Flavonoids and related polyphenols, have been known to possess cardioprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that flavonoid, quercetin significantly downregulates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured cells via modulation of NFκB and p38MAPK signaling pathways. In the current study, we hypothesize that quercetin exerts anti-HIV activity by differential modulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 12,190 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCD2 Shown to Facilitate CD4+ Cell Differentiation during Visceral Leishmaniasis, a Receptor Based StudySukrat Sinha, Shanthy Sundaram, Sanjiva Bimal et al.This study addressed the role of CD2 on CD4+ T helper cells in relation to the TCRVα1 and CD70 in two groups of BALB/c mice viz control and infected (1×107 L. donovani promastigotes). The results showed with the downregulation of CD2 expression there is a pronounced decrease of TCRVα1 and CD70 on CD4+ cells in mice. An insight into the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2015 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene. Genetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2015 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Combined Fenofibrate and Nicotinamide on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Cytokines Involved in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsOmaima M. Abd Allah, Abeer A.I. Sharaf El-Din, Fouad El DebakeyCisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer drug, which is accompanied with major side effects including nephrotoxicity. The current study was performed to assess the possible prophylactic effects of fenofibrate (FEN), Nicotinamide (NAM) and their combination on oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines associated with cisplatin-induced renal damage. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups (8 each) as follows; control group; FEN group … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2015 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDEVELOPMENT OF THE INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE AND INFLUENCE OF COLOSTRUM SUCKLING IN CALVESViviani Gomes, Camila Costa Baccili, Vinicius Alvim Passos Baldacim et al.Bovine colostrum contains immune factors, like leukocytes and cytokines that are absorbed by the intestinal mucosa of the neonate, however, not much is known about the function of some of these components in the active immune response of calves. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of colostrum intake and development of the innate immune response of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOTENTIAL AMELIORATIVE ROLE OF N-ACETYLCYSTEINE AGAINST TESTICULAR DYSFUNCTION INDUCED BY TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN MALE ALBINO RATSAhmed Farag El-Kirdasy, Mohamed Abdo Nassan, Ahmed Abdel Aziz Baiomy et al.In this study, we examined the ameliorative action of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) against Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) induced testicular degeneration in albino rats. Adult male albino rats were given saline as a control group, TiO2 (1200 mg kg-1 BW), NAC (100 mg kg-1 BW) and co-treatment of NAC and TiO2 as a protective group for 3 months. Testicular tissues were extracted for … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2013 · 7,903 accessesView PDFCite
