Activation of adenosine A2A receptors inhibits neutrophil transuroepithelial migration.
Adenosine has been identified as a significant inhibitor of inflammation by acting on adenosine A(2A) receptors. In this study, we examined the role of adenosine and A(2A) receptors in the transmigration of human neutrophils across an in vitro model of the transitional bladder urothelium. Human uroepithelial cells (UROtsa) were grown on transwell inserts; uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) a...
متن کاملBaicalein inhibits melanogenesis through activation of the ERK signaling pathway.
Baicalein is one of the major flavonoids in Scutellaria baicalensis. However, the effects of baicalein on melanogenesis are unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the depigmenting capacity of baicalein and to elucidate its mechanism of action. B16F10 mouse melanoma cells were used to examine the effect of baicalein on melanogenesis by measurement of melanin content and tyrosinase ...
متن کاملMFG-E8 inhibits neutrophil migration through αvβ3-integrin-dependent MAP kinase activation
We have previously demonstrated the involvement of milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor-factor 8 (MFG‑E8) in reducing neutrophil infiltration in a murine model of acute lung injury (ALI). In the present study, we aimed to delineate the mechanisms through which MFG‑E8 attenuates neutrophil migration. Recombinant human MFG‑E8 (rhMFG‑E8) was expressed and purified in our facility. The human di...
متن کاملMelatonin Suppresses Hypoxia-Induced Migration of HUVECs via Inhibition of ERK/Rac1 Activation
Melatonin, a naturally-occurring hormone, possesses antioxidant properties and ameliorates vascular endothelial dysfunction. In this study, we evaluate the impact of melatonin on the migratory capability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to hypoxia and further investigate whether ERK/Rac1 signaling is involved in this process. Here, we found that melatonin inhibited hypoxia-sti...
متن کاملRapamycin inhibits GM-CSF-induced neutrophil migration.
The molecular mechanisms that govern cell movement are the subject of intense study, as they impact biologically and medically important processes such as leukocyte chemotaxis and angiogenesis, among others. We demonstrate that leukocyte chemotaxis is prevented by the macrolide immunosuppressant rapamycin, a specific inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal p70-S6 kinase ...
