Suppression of interleukin-1 beta and LDL scavenger receptor expression in macrophages by a selective protein kinase C inhibitor.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
A human monocytic cell line, THP-1, stimulated with 40 nM phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), differentiated to macrophage-like cells, and exhibited increased expression and release of interleukin-1 beta and expression of acetylated low density lipoprotein (

A computational analysis of transcriptional profiles from CD8(+) T lymphocytes reveals potential mechanisms of HIV/AIDS control and progression

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Cytotoxic and noncytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocyte responses are essential for the control of HIV infection. Understanding the mechanisms underlying HIV control in elite controllers (ECs), which maintain undetectable viral load in the absence of antiretroviral

Toll-Interleukin 1 Receptor Domain-Containing Adaptor Protein 180L Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Is Associated With Susceptibility to Recurrent Pneumococcal Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in Children

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are often caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and can be recurrent in 8% of children older than 2 years of age.

Nicotinamide inhibits melanoma in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2020
Background Even though new therapies are available against melanoma, novel approaches are needed to overcome resistance and high-toxicity issues. In the present study the anti-melanoma activity of Nicotinamide (NAM), the amide form of Niacin, was ...

Expression of serotonin 2A, 2C, 6 and 7 receptor and IL-6 mRNA in experimental toxoplasmic encephalitis in mice

Heliyon, 2019
The neurotropic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii infects about one-third of the human population. Both acute and chronic (latent or life-long) forms of toxoplasmosis are associated with specific neurologic and neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Novel Biological Therapies for Severe Asthma Endotypes

Biomedicines, 2022
Severe asthma comprises several heterogeneous phenotypes, underpinned by complex pathomechanisms known as endotypes. The latter are driven by intercellular networks mediated by molecular components which can be targeted by specific monoclonal antibodies.

Puerarin Acts Through Brain Serotonergic Mechanisms to Induce Thermal Effects

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
The present study was attempted to investigate the effect of puerarin, an isoflavone compound isolated from Pueraria lobata, on both the basal body temperature and pyrogenic fever in unanesthetized, restrained rats.

Receptor Epitope Usage by an Interleukin-5 Mimetic Peptide [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The cyclic peptide AF17121 is a library-derived antagonist for human interleukin-5 (IL5) receptor alpha (IL5Ralpha) and inhibits IL5 activity. Our previous results have demonstrated that the sixth arginine residue of the peptide is crucial for the inhibitory effect and that several acidic residues in the N- and C-terminal regions also make a ...

Molecular cloning and expression of the murine interleukin‐5 receptor. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1990
Murine interleukin-5 (IL-5) is known to play an essential role in Ig production of B cells and proliferation and differentiation of eosinophils. Here, we have isolated cDNA clones encoding a murine IL-5 receptor by expression screening of a library prepared from a murine IL-5 dependent early B cell line.

Characterization of high-affinity receptors for interleukin 5 on interleukin 5-dependent cell lines. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1989
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a glycosylated polypeptide that acts as a key factor for B-cell growth and differentiation. We demonstrated previously that there are two classes (high and low affinity) of IL-5 receptors on murine chronic B-cell leukemic cells (BCL1-B20).
