Excavatolide B Attenuates Rheumatoid Arthritis through the Inhibition of Osteoclastogenesis
Osteoclasts are multinucleated giant cells of macrophage/monocyte lineage, and cell differentiation with the upregulation of osteoclast-related proteins is believed to play a major role in the destruction of the joints in the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), can be overexpressed in...
متن کاملCilostazol Attenuates Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss by Inhibiting Osteoclastogenesis
BACKGROUND Cilostazol has been reported to alleviate the metabolic syndrome induced by increased intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels, which is also associated with osteoclast (OC) differentiation. We hypothesized that bone loss might be attenuated via an action on OC by cilostazol. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To test this idea, we investigated the effect of...
متن کاملFSH LH : FSH ratio
Patient A was a 30-year-old white woman with a longstanding history of primary amenorrhea and infertility. By age 18 the patient had neither menstruated nor demonstrated evidence of normal breast development. At that time she was given oral contraceptives for four cycles and responded with normal vaginal bleeding. Laboratory evaluation at age 18 demonstrated a serum FSH (follicle-stimulating ho...
متن کاملSuppression of Osteoclastogenesis by Melatonin: A Melatonin Receptor-Independent Action
In vertebrates, melatonin is primarily secreted from the pineal gland but it affects various biological processes including the sleep-wake cycle, vasomotor control, immune system and bone homeostasis. Melatonin has been known to promote osteoblast differentiation and bone maturation, but a direct role of melatonin on osteoclast differentiation is still elusive. The present study investigated th...
متن کاملBlocking Fas ligand on leukocytes attenuates kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), and T cells mediate the early phase of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway modulates the balance of T cell subsets in the peripheral circulation as well as multiple inflammatory responses, suggesting that FasL may mediate ischemic AKI. Here, we induced bilateral renal IRI in mice...
