Piperine inhibits cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Piperine, an amide isolated from Piper species (Piperaceae), has been reported to exhibit central nervous system depression, anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory activity. Immunomodulatory and anti-tumor activity of piperine has been demonstrated in mouse carcinomas. However, there is little information available concerning the effect of piperine on humans. We evaluated the immunopharmacolog...
متن کاملOptimization of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the method of choice for long term storage of human PBMCs. This study was designed to compare the different combinations of variables affecting the cryopreservation of PBMCs samples. The viability of PBMCs separated from 2×5 ml peripheral blood samples obtained from 16 healthy adult volunteers, were measured using trypan blue dye exclusion method just before freezing with ...
متن کاملExpression of Th1 and Th2 Cytokine and Associated Transcription Factors in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Correlation with Disease Severity
Background: Psoriasis is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease with elevated level of pro-inflammatory cytokines belonging mainly to Th1 pathway. We investigated whether treatment with micronutrients along with methotrexate (MTX) is able to modulate mRNA expression of Th1 and Th2 patterns and its correlation with disease severity. Methods: Thirty plaque type psoriasis patients with Psoriasis ...
متن کاملNitric oxide production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
INTRODUCTION There are conflicting data on the ability of human mononuclear cells to produce nitric oxide (NO). We investigated nitric oxide production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMs) by using a new sensitive fluorescent indicator. MATERIALS AND METHODS PBMs from healthy volunteers were collected, plated in 96-well microplates, and loaded with the fluorescent nitric oxide probe...
متن کاملEvaluation of proliferation and cytokines production by mitogen-stimulated bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
This in vitro study was conducted to evaluate lymphocyte blastogenic and cytokine production by bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and concanavalin A (Con A) mitogens, by using tetrazolium salt and ELISA tests, respectively. The results presented that Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-17 and IFN-...
