Application of Peptides Containing the Cleavage Sequence of Pro-TNFα in Assessing TACE Activity of Whole Cells [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is presumably shed from cell membranes by TNFα-cleaving enzyme (TACE). The peptides SPLAQAVRSSSR and Dabcyl-LAQAVRSSSR-Edans, each encompassing the cleavage sequence of pro-TNFα recognized by TACE, were applied to intact ...

Neurotropin suppresses inflammatory cytokine expression and cell death through suppression of NF-κB and JNK in hepatocytes. [PDF]
Inflammatory response and cell death in hepatocytes are hallmarks of chronic liver disease, and, therefore, can be effective therapeutic targets. Neurotropin® (NTP) is a drug widely used in Japan and China to treat chronic pain.

Renoprotective Potential of the Ultra-Pure Lipopolysaccharide from Rhodobacter Sphaeroides on Acutely Injured Kidneys in an Animal Model [PDF]
One of the main causes of acute kidney injury is ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI). Inflammatory response, apoptotic damages, and oxidative stress-related injuries are all involved in the pathogenesis of IRI.

Ankylosing spondylitis and multiple sclerosis: a surprising parallel [PDF]
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are two different chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, one rheumatic and the other one neurological, apparently without any connection between them.

Amyloid Beta, TNFα and FAIM-L; Approaching New Therapeutic Strategies for AD [PDF]
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND AMYLOID BETA Defining characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are memory defects, synaptic alterations, presence of neuroinflammatory mediators, and a progressive neurodegeneration. One of the histopathological hallmarks of the disease is the presence of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques; however, it seems that soluble oligomers ...

Effect of Lipopolysaccharide from Rhodobacter sphaeroides on Inflammatory Pathway and Oxidative Stress in Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Male Rats [PDF]
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is caused by a sudden temporary impairment of the blood flow to the particular organ. The IRI of the kidneys is one of the main causes of acute kidney injury.

Regulation of myogenic activation of p38 MAPK by TACE-mediated TNFα release [PDF]
The activation of p38 MAPK in myogenic precursor cells (MPCs) is a key signal for their exit of cell cycle and entry of the myogenic differentiation program. Therefore, identification of the signaling mechanism that activates p38 MAPK during this process is important for the understanding of the regulatory mechanism of muscle regeneration. This article
