Lipocalin 2 Upregulation Protects Hepatocytes from IL1-β-Induced Stress.
BACKGROUND Lipocalin 2 (LCN2), a protein primarily produced by hepatocytes, is highly upregulated under various conditions that induce cellular stress, such as intoxication, infection or inflammation. However, the precise biological functions and underlying mechanisms of LCN2 in hepatocytes remains unknown. METHODS Hepatocyte stress was successfully induced by treating Huh7 cells with interle...
متن کاملRole of Lipocalin-2 in Thrombin-Induced Brain Injury.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thrombin and lipocalin-2 (LCN2) contribute to intracerebral hemorrhage-induced brain injury. Thrombin-induced brain damage is partially through a thrombin receptor, protease-activated receptor-1. LCN2 is involved in cellular iron transport and neuroinflammation. This study investigated the role of LCN2 in thrombin-induced brain injury. METHODS There were 3 parts in this...
متن کاملRole of lipocalin 2 in intraventricular haemoglobin-induced brain injury
OBJECTIVE Our recent studies have shown that blood components, including haemoglobin and iron, contribute to hydrocephalus development and brain injury after intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). The current study investigated the role of lipocalin 2 (LCN2), a protein involved in iron handling, in the ventricular dilation and neuroinflammation caused by brain injury in a mouse model of IVH. DES...
متن کاملLipocalin 2 Regulates Inflammation during Pulmonary Mycobacterial Infections
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by the intracellular bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a worldwide disease that continues to kill more than 1.5 million people every year worldwide. The accumulation of lymphocytes mediates the formation of the tubercle granuloma in the lung and is crucial for host protection against M.tuberculosis infection. However, paradoxically the tubercle granulom...
متن کاملLactoferrin during lactation protects the immature hypoxic-ischemic rat brain
OBJECTIVE Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein secreted in maternal milk presenting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows efficient absorption into the brain from nutritional source. Brain injury frequently resulting from cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI) has a high incidence in premature infants with ensuing neurodevelopmental disabilities. We investigated the neuropr...
