Glibenclamide reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production by neutrophils of diabetes patients in response to bacterial infection
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for melioidosis, which is caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Our previous study has shown that polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) from diabetic subjects exhibited decreased functions in response to B. pseudomallei. Here we investigated the mechanisms regulating cytokine secretion of PMNs from diabetic patients which might contribute to patient...
متن کاملEffects of Silymarin Fractions on Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Secretion from Macrophage and Colonic Epithelial Cell Lines
Silymarin is an extract of milk thistle seeds, consisting of four major classes of flavonoligans: silybinin, silychristin, silydianin and isosilyibinin. These compounds are known for their anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The goal of this study was to determine if different fractions of the crude extract of silymarin inhibited proinflammatory cytokine secretion from macrophage and...
متن کاملBacterial sex in dental plaque
Genes are transferred between bacteria in dental plaque by transduction, conjugation, and transformation. Membrane vesicles can also provide a mechanism for horizontal gene transfer. DNA transfer is considered bacterial sex, but the transfer is not parallel to processes that we associate with sex in higher organisms. Several examples of bacterial gene transfer in the oral cavity are given in th...
متن کاملSusceptibility of brown adipocytes to pro-inflammatory cytokine toxicity and reactive oxygen species
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) cells have a very high oxidative capacity. On the other hand, in obesity and obesity-related diabetes, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are elevated, which might promote BAT dysfunction and consequently impair carbohydrate metabolism and thereby exacerbate cellular dysfunction and promote diabetes progression. Therefore, the antioxidative enzyme status of a brown ...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Mitochondrial Mutation Differs across Species
Mutations are ubiquitous, and many arise during the very process of replicating and transmitting genomes. This process is the source of the genetic variation that provides the raw material for both evolutionary novelty and human disease. Mutation rates are known to vary among nucleotides, across genomic regions, and between taxa. It is conventional wisdom that animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) i...
