Inflammation-induced expression of the alarmin interleukin 33 can be suppressed by galacto-oligosaccharides.
BACKGROUND The alarmin interleukin 33 (IL-33) and its receptor ST2 play an important role in mucosal barrier tissues, and seem to be crucial for Th2-cell mediated host defense. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), used in infant formulas, exhibit gut and immune modulatory effects. To enhance our understanding of the immunomodulatory capacity of GOS, this study investigated the impact of dietary GOS ...
متن کاملNELL-1, an Osteoinductive Factor, Is a Direct Transcriptional Target of Osterix
NELL-1 is a novel secreted protein associated with premature fusion of cranial sutures in craniosynostosis that has been found to promote osteoblast cell differentiation and mineralization. Our previous study showed that Runx2, the key transcription factor in osteoblast differentiation, transactivates the NELL-1 promoter. In this study, we evaluated the regulatory involvement and mechanisms of ...
متن کاملXBP1S, a BMP2-inducible transcription factor, accelerates endochondral bone growth by activating GEP growth factor
We previously reported that transcription factor XBP1S binds to RUNX2 and enhances chondrocyte hypertrophy through acting as a cofactor of RUNX2. Herein, we report that XBP1S is a key downstream molecule of BMP2 and is required for BMP2-mediated chondrocyte differentiation. XBP1S is up-regulated during chondrocyte differentiation and demonstrates the temporal and spatial expression pattern duri...
متن کاملDoes Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?
Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...
متن کاملNfatc1 Is a Functional Transcriptional Factor Mediating Nell-1-Induced Runx3 Upregulation in Chondrocytes
Neural EGFL like 1 (Nell-1) is essential for chondrogenic differentiation, maturation, and regeneration. Our previous studies have demonstrated that Nell-1's pro-chondrogenic activities are predominantly reliant upon runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3)-mediated Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling. Here, we identify the nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 (Nfatc1) as the key transcriptiona...
