Imidazoline Compounds Protect Against Interleukin 1 –Induced -Cell Apoptosis
Imidazoline compounds have been considered for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We have now investigated the effects of imidazolines on interleukin (IL)-1 –induced -cell apoptosis and the signal transduction pathways involved. Inhibition of Ca influx into -cells by D-600, a blocker of voltage-gated L-type Ca channels, suppressed IL-1 –induced apoptosis. Our data show that calcineurin, Ca/calmo...
متن کاملClotting factors and eicosanoids protect against nematode infections.
We show that hemolymph clotting protects Drosophila melanogaster against infections with an entomopathogenic nematode and its symbiotic bacterium. We also provide biochemical and genetic evidence for an involvement of eicosanoids in the same infection model. Taken together, our results confirm the conserved nature of the immune function of clot formation.
متن کاملHigh cholesterol may protect against infections and atherosclerosis.
Many researchers have suggested that the blood lipids play a key role in the immune defence system. There is also a growing understanding that an inflammatory response of the arterial intima to injury is a crucial step in the genesis of atherosclerosis. and that infections may be one type of such injury. These two concepts are difficult to harmonize with the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) recept...
متن کاملLow dosages of interleukin 1 protect mice against lethal cerebral malaria
In cerebral malaria, pathological changes can be found in the brain of infected people and in the brain of Plasmodium berghei-infected mice. The pathogenesis of cerebral malaria in mice is believed to be due to an immunopathological reaction giving rise to an excessive production of cytokines such as interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). We find that low doses of interle...
متن کاملEstrogen and tamoxifen metabolites protect smooth muscle cell membrane phospholipids against peroxidation and inhibit cell growth.
The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that antioxidant estrogens, by a mechanism independent of the estrogen receptor, protect phospholipids residing in the plasma membrane of vascular smooth muscle cells from peroxidation and peroxidation-induced cell growth and migration. Peroxidation of membrane phospholipids was assessed by HPLC analysis of phospholipids extracted from rat aorti...
