G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor activation upregulates interleukin-1 receptor antagonist in the hippocampus after global cerebral ischemia: implications for neuronal self-defense

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER/GPR30) is a novel membrane-associated estrogen receptor that can induce rapid kinase signaling in various cells.

A Superhydrophobic 3D Cell Culture System Reveals the Mechanobiological Role of Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in Prostate Cancer Metastasis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A superhydrophobic 3D cell culture platform enables rapid and consistent formation of heterotypic tumor–stroma clusters, and reveals how physiological shear conditions influence metastatic signaling. Mechanical stimulation of cancer‐associated fibroblasts promotes sustained cytokine secretion and survival‐promoting pathways, showing how multicellular ...

Selective delivery of interleukine-1 receptor antagonist to inflamed joint by albumin fusion

BMC Biotechnology, 2012
Background Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, a cytokine that is highly therapeutic to rheumatoid arthritis and several other inflammatory diseases, exhibits rapid blood clearance and poor retention time on the target in clinical application due to its ...

ADAMTS -1 and -4 are up-regulated following transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rat and their expression is modulated by TNF in cultured astrocytes [PDF]

, 2006
ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are a recently described group of metalloproteinases. The substrates degraded by ADAMTS-1, -4 and -5 suggests that they play a role in turnover of extracellular matrix in the

Purification and characterization of interleukin 1 receptor level antagonist proteins from THP-1 cells.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990
Culture medium conditioned by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-differentiated THP-1 cells contained interleukin 1 (IL-1) antagonist activity as measured by inhibition of both IL-1 beta binding to receptors on YT cells and inhibition of IL-1/phytohemagglutinin-stimulated IL-2 synthesis by LBRM-33-1A5 T cells. Based on their ability to compete for 125I-IL-

Simultaneous Electrochemical Detection of NGF and proNGF Under Native Conditions Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers: Toward Point‐of‐Care Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study relies on the development of a new sensor that can detect two closely related proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease at the same time. Unlike traditional methods, it works in natural conditions and does not require sample pretreatment. The device is highly sensitive and was successfully tested on patient samples, offering promises for ...

Cannabinoid Receptor CB2 Is Involved in Tetrahydrocannabinol-Induced Anti-Inflammation against Lipopolysaccharide in MG-63 Cells

Mediators of Inflammation, 2015
Cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is effective in treating osteoarthritis (OA), and the mechanism, however, is still elusive. Activation of cannabinoid receptor CB2 reduces inflammation; whether the activation CB2 is involved in THC-induced ...

Clinical management and therapy of idiopathic recurrent pericarditis

Clinical Management Issues, 2018
Recurrent pericarditis is defined when pericarditic chest pain reappears after a symptom-free period of at least 4 to 6 weeks and after completion of full-dose anti-inflammatory therapy. Idiopathic pericarditis is the commonest etiology. The diagnosis of
