ACN9 Regulates the Inflammatory Responses in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
BACKGROUND Airway epithelial cells are the first line of defense, against pathogens and environmental pollutants, in the lungs. Cellular stress by cadmium (Cd), resulting in airway inflammation, is assumed to be directly involved in tissue injury, linked to the development of lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We had earlier shown that ACN9 (chromosome 7q21), is a po...
متن کاملPAR2-induced inflammatory responses in human kidney tubular epithelial cells.
Protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) is a G protein-coupled receptor abundantly expressed in the kidney. The aim of this study was to profile inflammatory gene and protein expression induced by PAR2 activation in human kidney tubular epithelial cells (HTEC). A novel PAR2 antagonist, GB88, was used to confirm agonist specificity. Intracellular Ca(2+) (iCa(2+)) mobilization, confocal microscopy, ...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 5-mediated corneal epithelial inflammatory responses to Pseudomonas aeruginosa flagellin.
PURPOSE Flagellin is the major structural protein of the flagella of Gram-negative bacteria and is a potent trigger of innate immune responses in a number of eukaryotic cells and organisms. In this study, we sought to determine whether flagellin induces an inflammation response in cultured human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells and to determine the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Flagellin was p...
متن کاملHuman corneal epithelial cell functional responses to inflammatory agents and their antagonists.
PURPOSE To investigate the epithelial nature of primary and SV40 virus-immortalized human corneal epithelial (CEPI) cells and to study a variety of functional responses to some key inflammatory agents (bradykinin [BK], histamine, and platelet-activating factor [PAF]) and their antagonists in these cells. METHODS Primary CEPI (P-CEPI) and clone 4 of the SV40 virus-immortalized (CEPI-17-CL4) ce...
متن کاملP163: The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Human Amniotic Membrane Epithelial Cells-Derived Condition Media
The human amniotic membrane known as the innermost single epithelial-covered layer provides many applications such as applicable anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. These immunomodulatory effects belongs to the epithelial cells, a type of epiblast-derived fetal stem cells which currently used for regenerative medicine and transplantation. These cells are collected by author-prepared faci...
