CP-25 exerts a protective effect against ConA-induced hepatitis via regulating inflammation and immune response

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Hepatitis is a complex multifactorial pathological disorder, which can eventually lead to liver failure and even potentially be life threatening. Paeoniflorin-6′-O-benzene sulfonate (CP-25) has proven to have critical anti-inflammatory effects in ...

sTNFRII-Fc modification protects human UC-MSCs against apoptosis/autophagy induced by TNF-α and enhances their efficacy in alleviating inflammatory arthritis

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors represented by Etanercept (a fusion protein containing soluble TNF receptor II (sTNFRII) and the Fc segment of human IgG1) play a pivotal role in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment.

CP-25 inhibits the hyperactivation of rheumatic synoviocytes by suppressing the switch in Gαs-Gαi coupling to the β2-adrenergic receptor

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2023
In essence, the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) plays an antiproliferative role by increasing the intracellular cyclic 3’,5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration through Gαs coupling, but interestingly, β2AR antagonists are able to effectively ...

GRK2 Mediates Macrophage Polarization by Regulating EP4-cAMP-pCREB Signaling in Ulcerative Colitis and the Therapeutic Effect of Paroxetine on Mice with DSS-Induced Colitis

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2023
G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is one of the cytosolic enzymes, and GRK2 translocation induces prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) over-desensitization and reduces the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to regulate macrophage ...

Combination therapy of ginsenoside compound K and methotrexate was efficient in elimination of anaemia and reduction of disease activity in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats

open access: yesPharmaceutical Biology, 2020
Context Ginsenoside compound K (CK) has anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, and myelosuppressive protective effects. Methotrexate (MTX) is widely used in combination therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Objective To evaluate the effects of combination

Synovial Macrophages in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Past, Present, and Future

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2020
The ontogeny of macrophages in most organs has already been established. Owing to the limited number and inaccessibility of synovial macrophages (SMs), the origin of SMs has not been fully elucidated.

Molecular Mechanisms of T Cells Activation by Dendritic Cells in Autoimmune Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
The interaction between T cell and dendritic cells (DCs) that leads to T cell activation affects the progression of the immune response including autoimmune diseases. Antigen presentation on immune cell surface, formation of an immunological synapse (IS),

New insights into the Lck-NF-κB signaling pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Lck is essential for the development, activity, and proliferation of T cells, which may contribute to pathological progression and development of human diseases, such as autoimmune disorders and cancers when functioning aberrantly.
