Up-regulation of TLR2 and TLR4 in high mobility group Box1-stimulated macrophages in pulpitis patients
Objective(s): High Mobility Group Box1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone, DNA-binding protein that serves a crucial role in regulating gene transcription and is involved in a variety of proinflammatory, extracellular activities. The aim of this study was to explore whether HMGB1 stimulation can up-regulate the expression of Toll-like Receptor 2 (TLR2) and Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) on macrophages from p...

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1933–H1940, 2000.—Thrombin stimulation of rabbit ventricular myocytes activates a membraneassociated, Ca21-independent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) capable of hydrolyzing plasmenylcholine (choline plasmalogen), plasmanyl...
متن کاملProbiotic treatment differentially affects the behavioral and electrophysiological aspects in ethanol exposed animals
Objective(s): Harmful effects of alcohol on brain function including cognitive phenomena are well known. Damage to gut microbiota is linked to neurological disorders. Evidence indicates that intestinal flora can be strengthened by probiotic bacteria. In this study, we evaluated the effect of probiotics administration on LTP induction in rats receiving ethanol.<em...
متن کاملEffect of Neutrophils on Nitric Oxide Production from Stimulated Macrophages
Background: During the initial phase of an infection, there is an upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase in the macrophages for the production of nitric oxide. This is followed by the recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) which release arginase. Arginase competes with inducible nitric oxide synthase for a common substrate L-arginine. Objective: To investigate whethe...
متن کاملInhibition of Rho-kinase differentially affects axon regeneration of peripheral motor and sensory nerves.
The small GTPase RhoA and its down-stream effector Rho-kinase (ROCK) are important effector molecules of the neuronal cytoskeleton. Modulation of the RhoA/ROCK pathway has been shown to promote axonal regeneration, however in vitro and animal studies are inconsistent regarding the extent of axonal outgrowth induced by pharmacological inhibition of ROCK. We hypothesized that injury to sensory an...
