Hypericum triquetrifolium—Derived Factors Downregulate the Production Levels of LPS-Induced Nitric Oxide and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in THP-1 Cells
Based on knowledge from traditional Arab herbal medicine, this in vitro study aims to examine the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Hypericum triquetrifolium by measuring the expression and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukine-6 (IL-6), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in human monocytic cells, THP-1. The effects were assessed by measuri...
متن کاملHypertonic saline downregulate the production level of lipopolysaccharide-induced migration inhibitory factor in THP-1 cells
PURPOSE Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) may serve as a general marker for systemic inflammation in septic and nonseptic acute critical illness. Additionally, our previous experiment has demonstrated that immunosuppressant Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) lowered MIF levels and inhibited T-cells proliferation when compared to control levels. The addition of hypertonic saline (HTS) increa...
متن کاملNF-κB and its upstream protein caspase-3, and reduced the LPS-induced production of nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor
Heat shock protein (HSP)60 is primarily a mitochondrial protein. Previous experiments have found that changes in the location of intracellular HSP60 have been associated with apoptosis. Extracellular HSP60 mediates apoptosis via its ligand, Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4. TLR-4 is an important factor expressed on microglia, with a central role in generating neuroimmune responses in the pathogenesis...
متن کاملTetracyclines downregulate the production of LPS-induced cytokines and chemokines in THP-1 cells via ERK, p38, and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways
Recent reports have shown that antibiotics such as macrolide, aminoglycoside, and tetracyclines have immunomodulatory effects in addition to essential antibiotic effects. These agents may have important effects on the regulation of cytokine and chemokine production. However, the precise mechanism is unknown. This time, we used Multi Plex to measure the production of cytokines and chemokines fol...
