Polydatin ameliorates ovalbumin‐induced asthma in a rat model through NCOA4‐mediated ferroautophagy and ferroptosis pathway

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this research, a rat model of asthma was created using OVA, and polydatin served as an intervention. By inhibiting ferroautophagy mediated by NCOA4 and averting ferroptosis, polydatin has been demonstrated to reduce asthma. This work presents new ideas for investigating the mechanism of polydatin's ability to alleviate asthma, in addition to ...

A Gpr120-selective agonist improves insulin resistance and chronic inflammation in obese mice. [PDF]

, 2014
It is well known that the ω-3 fatty acids (ω-3-FAs; also known as n-3 fatty acids) can exert potent anti-inflammatory effects. Commonly consumed as fish products, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, ω-3-FAs have a number of health benefits ascribed ...

Downregulation of sST2, a decoy receptor for interleukin‐33, enhances subcutaneous tumor growth in murine pancreatic cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Subcutaneous implantation of murine Panc02 pancreatic cancer cells depleted of sST2, a soluble decoy receptor for the proinflammatory interleukin‐33 (IL‐33), leads to a decreased number of GLUT4‐positive cancer‐associated adipocytes, reduced levels of the anti‐inflammatory molecule adiponectin, increased phosphorylation of IκBα, elevated Cxcl3 ...

Involvement of the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases

Experimental Gerontology
The kynurenine pathway (KP), a major metabolic pathway for L-tryptophan (Trp) in mammals, plays a multifaceted role in various physiological processes, including neural activity, immune system regulation, and the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis ...

Sinomenine exerts anticonvulsant profile and neuroprotective activity in pentylenetetrazole kindled rats: involvement of inhibition of NLRP1 inflammasome

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder and is not well controlled by available antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Inflammation is considered to be a critical factor in the pathophysiology of epilepsy.

Microbial profile of the appendix niche in acute appendicitis: a novel sampling approach

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study utilized a novel sampling method, ERAT (i.e. endoscopic retrograde appendicitis treatment)‐guided lumen aspiration, to obtain samples from the appendix, and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed for in situ characterization of the appendix microbiome in patients with acute appendicitis.

Absence of Tumor Necrosis Factor Supports Alternative Activation of Macrophages in the Liver after Infection with Leishmania major

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The absence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) causes lethal infection by Leishmania major in normally resistant C57BL/6J (B6.WT) mice. The underlying pathogenic mechanism of this fatal disease has so far remained elusive.

Anti‐inflammatory properties of cryptolepine

Phytotherapy Research, 2009
AbstractCryptolepine is the major alkaloid of the West African shrub, Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. Cryptolepine has been shown to inhibit nitric oxide production, and DNA binding of Nuclear Factor‐kappa B following inflammatory stimuli in vitro. In order to validate the anti‐inflammatory property of this compound in vivo, we investigated its effects on a

Key role for inhibins in effective T cell activation, migration and Th17 differentiation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activins/inhibins modulate immune responses. Here, we show that inhibins can be produced very early after T cell activation and can act in an autocrine way, favoring Th1 versus Th17 differentiation and CCL19/CCL21 mediated migration. Recombinant inhibin A can restore the Th1/Th17 balance, highlighting the role of inhibins as key regulators of T cell ...

Yap methylation‐induced FGL1 expression suppresses anti‐tumor immunity and promotes tumor progression in KRAS‐driven lung adenocarcinoma

Cancer Communications
Background Despite significant strides in lung cancer immunotherapy, the response rates for Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)‐driven lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients remain limited.
