Cellular viability and nitric oxide (NO) production by J774 macrophages in the presence of orthodontic archwires
To assess, in vitro, the cellular viability in a murine macrophage cell line J774 with 9 different orthodontic wires and to evaluate the effects of its NO production. To assess cellular viability by MTT: 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay in the cell line J774 with 9 different orthodontic wires and quantify NO production by these macrophages. Cell cultures were ...
متن کاملLactobacillus rhamnosus GG conditioned media modulates acute reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in J774 murine macrophages
Phagocytes such as macrophages are capable of detecting and killing pathogenic bacteria by producing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Formation of free radicals in macrophages may be regulated by probiotics or by factors released by probiotics but yet to be identified. Thus, studies were carried out to determine whether cell-free conditioned medium obtained from cultures of Lactobacillus r...
متن کاملPyrimidinoceptor-mediated potentiation of inducible nitric-oxide synthase induction in J774 macrophages. Role of intracellular calcium.
We have shown that, in murine J774 macrophages, binding of UTP to pyrimidinoceptors stimulates phosphoinositide (PI) breakdown and an increase in [Ca2+]i. In this study, UTP modulation of the expression of inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Although UTP alone had no effect, stimulation of J774 cells with a combination of UTP (10-300 microM) and LPS (0.1-3 microgram/ml) res...
متن کاملPneumococci stimulate the production of the inducible nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide by murine macrophages.
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the pathophysiology of gram-positive sepsis is uncertain. In inflammatory conditions, high-output NO production is catalyzed by the enzyme inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The ability of 2 strains of pneumococci, pneumococcal cell wall preparations, and purified pneumococcal capsule (Pnu-Imune 23) to trigger the production of iNOS protein and NO in RAW 26...
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...
