Structure-Function Analysis of CD14 as a Soluble Receptor for Lipopolysaccharide [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
CD14 is a glycophosphatidylinositol-linked protein expressed by myeloid cells and also circulates as a plasma protein lacking the glycophosphatidylinositol anchor. Both membrane and soluble CD14 function to enhance activation of cells by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which we refer to as receptor function.

Propofol exerts anti-inflammatory effects in rats with lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury by inhibition of CD14 and TLR4 expression

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013
We investigated the effect of propofol (Prop) administration (10 mg kg-1 h-1, intravenously) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury and its effect on cluster of differentiation (CD) 14 and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ...

Effects of Lipopolysaccharides from Shigella Strains on Innate Immunity Stimulation in vitro [PDF]

open access: yesMajallah-i dānishgāh-i ̒ulūm-i pizishkī-i Arāk, 2015
Background: Shigella is the causative agent of human shigellosis and its lipopolysaccharide is detected by TLR4. TLR4 belongs to Toll-like receptors family and many immunological pathways are triggered when these receptors are stimulated. Many researches

Role of Lipopolysaccharide, Derived from Various Bacterial Species, in Pulpitis—A Systematic Review

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is widely used for induction of inflammation in various human tissues, including dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to summarize current medical literature focusing on (1) cell types used by researchers to simulate dental

Properties of Phage-receptor Lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas morsprunorum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1976
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Pseudomonas morsprunorum was extracted with hot phenol and purified by repeated centrifuging followed by either block electrophoresis or gel filtration. LPS from a virulent isolate exhibited specific phage inactivation (PI50 = 0.05 mug LPS ml-1), whereas LPS from an avirulent phage-resistant mutant did not.

The Role of Selected Flavonols in Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptor–1 (TRAIL-R1) Expression on Activated RAW 264.7 Macrophages

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptors (TRAIL-R) are an important factor of apoptosis in cancer cells. There are no data about the effect of flavonols on the receptor expression on a surface of macrophage like cells.

Blocking P2Y2 purinergic receptor prevents the development of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality resulting from a direct or indirect injury of the lung. It is characterized by a rapid alveolar injury, lung inflammation with neutrophil accumulation, elevated ...

Blockade of the N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Glutamate Receptor Ameliorates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Renal Insufficiency.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation in rat kidney reduces renal perfusion and ultrafiltration. Hypoperfusion-induced ischemia is the most frequent cause of functional insufficiency in the endotoxemic kidney.

Role of CD14 in host protection against infections and in metabolism regulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
CD14 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptor known to serve as a co-receptor for several Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) both at the cell surface and in the endosomal compartment.

Determining the metabolic impact of postbiotics in mice

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: Postbiotics cooperate to influence immune and metabolic outcomes in the host. Here we describe a protocol for in vivo assessment of blood glucose control following acute administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN) in mice.
