A20 protects mice from lethal radical hepatectomy by promoting hepatocyte proliferation via a p21waf1-dependent mechanism.
The liver has a remarkable regenerative capacity, allowing recovery following injury. Regeneration after injury is contingent on maintenance of healthy residual liver mass, otherwise fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) may arise. Understanding the protective mechanisms safeguarding hepatocytes and promoting their proliferation is critical for devising therapeutic strategies for FHF. We demonstrate ...
متن کاملAgonistic antibody to TLR4/MD-2 protects mice from acute lethal hepatitis induced by TNF-alpha.
LPS is recognized by a heterodimer consisting of TLR4 and its coreceptor MD-2. LPS signal causes excessive inflammation and tissue damage. In this study, we show that a mAb to TLR4/MD-2 protected mice from acute lethal hepatitis caused by LPS/d-galactosamine. The protective effect of the mAb was not due to inhibition of LPS response, because serum TNF-alpha, which was induced by LPS and caused ...
متن کاملInterleukin 10 protects mice from lethal endotoxemia
Interleukin 10 (IL-10) decreases production of IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in vitro, and neutralization of IL-10 in mice leads to elevation of the same monokines. We test here whether this monokine-suppressing property of IL-10 confers on it the capacity to protect mice from lipopolysaccharide-induced shock, a monokine-mediated inflammatory reaction. A single injecti...
متن کاملBaicalin Protects Mice from Lethal Infection by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 poses grave challenges to public health by its ability to cause severe colonic diseases and renal failure in both human and animals. Shiga-like toxins are the major pathogenic factor for some highly virulent E. coli expecially Shiga-like toxin 2. Conventional treatments such as antibiotics can facilitate the release of the toxin thus po...
متن کاملInhibition of Retrograde Transport Protects Mice from Lethal Ricin Challenge
Bacterial Shiga-like toxins are virulence factors that constitute a significant public health threat worldwide, and the plant toxin ricin is a potential bioterror weapon. To gain access to their cytosolic target, ribosomal RNA, these toxins follow the retrograde transport route from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum, via endosomes and the Golgi apparatus. Here, we used high-throu...
