Effect of Pricking-bloodletting Therapy Combined with Zhuang-medicine-thread Moxibustion on TLRs/MyD88 Signal Pathway in a Rat Model of Acute Gouty Arthritis [PDF]
Background With the change of people's environment and diet structure, acute gouty arthritis (AGA) has become a common clinical disease, which is prone to recurrence, causing harm to patients' health. Pricking-bloodletting therapy combined with

Regulation of human formyl peptide receptor 1 synthesis: role of single nucleotide polymorphisms, transcription factors, and inflammatory mediators. [PDF]
The gene encoding the human formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is heterogeneous, containing numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here, we examine the effect of these SNPs on gene transcription and protein translation.

Targeting the Spleen as an Alternative Site for Hematopoiesis [PDF]
Bone marrow is the main site for hematopoiesis in adults. It acts as a niche for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and contains non-hematopoietic cells that contribute to stem cell dormancy, quiescence, self-renewal and differentiation.

Epithelial Myeloid-Differentiation Factor 88 Is Dispensable during Klebsiella Pneumonia
Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common cause of pneumonia. Previous studies have documented an important role for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed by myeloid cells in the recognition of K. pneumoniae and the initiation of a protective immune response. Lung epithelial cells also express TLRs and can participate in innate immune

MyD88-dependent interplay between myeloid and endothelial cells in the initiation and progression of obesity-associated inflammatory diseases. [PDF]
Low-grade systemic inflammation is often associated with metabolic syndrome, which plays a critical role in the development of the obesity-associated inflammatory diseases, including insulin resistance and atherosclerosis.

Prognostic significance of MyD88 expression by human epithelial ovarian carcinoma cells
Background MyD88 is an adaptor protein for TLR-4 signaling known to mediate paclitaxel resistance in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This study examined the clinical significance of MyD88 expression in EOC.

LXR agonist inhibits inflammation through regulating MyD88 mRNA alternative splicing
Liver X receptors (LXRs) are important regulators of cholesterol metabolism and inflammatory responses. LXR agonists exhibit potently anti-inflammatory effects in macrophages, which make them beneficial to anti-atherogenic therapy.

Cytokines of Birds: Conserved Functions [PDF]
Targeted disruptions of the mouse genes for cytokines, cytokine receptors, or components of cytokine signaling cascades convincingly revealed the important roles of these molecules in immunologic processes. Cytokines are used at present as drugs to fight
