Bromelain treatment decreases neutrophil migration to sites of inflammation.
Bromelain, a mixture of proteases derived from pineapple stem, has been reported to have therapeutic benefits in a variety of inflammatory diseases, including murine inflammatory bowel disease. The purpose of this work was to understand potential mechanisms for this anti-inflammatory activity. Exposure to bromelain in vitro has been shown to remove a number of cell surface molecules that are vi...
متن کاملHydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 decreases inflammation, neutrophil recruitment, and neutrophil extracellular trap formation.
BACKGROUND During systemic inflammation, leucocytes are activated and extravasate into damaged tissue. Activation and recruitment are influenced by different mechanisms, including the interaction of leucocytes with platelets and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4) dampens systemic inflammation i...
متن کاملPhosphatase Wip1 negatively regulates neutrophil migration and inflammation.
Neutrophils are critically involved in host defense and tissue damage. Intrinsic signal mechanisms controlling neutrophil activities are poorly defined. We found that the expression of wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1) in mouse and human neutrophils was downregulated quickly after neutrophil activation through JNK-microRNA-16 pathway. Importantly, the Wip1 expression level was negative...
متن کاملBromelain treatment decreases secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by colon biopsies in vitro.
Oral bromelain has been anecdotally reported to decrease inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). Proteolytically active bromelain is known to decrease expression of mRNAs encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines by human leukocytes in vitro. To assess the effect of bromelain on mucosal secretion of cytokines in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), endoscopic colon biopsies from patients with UC, Crohn...
متن کاملα1-Acid Glycoprotein Decreases Neutrophil Migration and Increases Susceptibility to Sepsis in Diabetic Mice
The mechanisms underlying immune deficiency in diabetes are largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that diabetic mice are highly susceptible to polymicrobial sepsis due to reduction in rolling, adhesion, and migration of leukocytes to the focus of infection. In addition, after sepsis induction, CXCR2 was strongly downregulated in neutrophils from diabetic mice compared with nondi...
