Dydrogesterone exerts endothelial anti-inflammatory actions decreasing expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules.
Clinical observations and basic studies show that progesterone and progestins have a variable influence on endothelial function. Dydrogesterone (DG) is a widely used progestin, but its endothelial actions have not been thoroughly assessed. In this study, we investigated the effects of DG and its metabolite 20-α-dihydro-dydrogesterone (DHD), natural progesterone as well as medroxyprogesterone ac...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory actions of lipoxin A(4) stable analogs are demonstrable in human whole blood: modulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules and inhibition of neutrophil-endothelial interactions.
We have examined in whole blood the actions of 2 lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)) stable analogs, 15-R/S-methyl-LXA(4) and 16-phenoxy-LXA(4), for their impact on the expression of adhesion molecules on human leukocytes and coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and on neutrophil adhesion to HCAEC in vitro. Both LXA(4) analogs in nanomolar to micromolar concentrations prevented shedding of L-selectin an...
متن کاملLeukocyte adhesion molecules in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease.
The dysregulated recruitment of leukocytes into the intestine is required for the initiation and maintenance of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Several families of molecules regulate the influx of these cells into sites of inflammation. Interference with some of these molecules has already shown efficacy in the clinics and antibodies that target the molecules involved have been approved by th...
متن کاملReview. Leukocyte and endothelial cell adhesion molecules in inflammation focusing on inflammatory heart disease.
In multicellular organisms the development of adhesion bonds, either among cells or among cells and components of the extracellular matrix, is a crucial process. These interactions are mediated by molecules which are named adhesion molecules and play a main role both at the early stages of the development of tissue integrity and later. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have a key role in several p...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide and sphingosine-1-phosphate cooperate to induce inflammatory molecules and leukocyte adhesion in endothelial cells.
Given that TLRs and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) are key players in inflammation, we explored the potential interplay between TLRs and S1P in the adhesion/inflammatory pathways in primary human endothelial cells. As determined by Western blot and flow cytometry, cells treated with LPS (a TLR4 ligand) and S1P showed significantly enhanced expression of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 and E-se...
