Differentiation and Apoptosis of U937 Leukemia Cells by an Active Compound from Dendrostellera lessertii
Background: Regarding the strong differentiation and anti-leukemic activity of Dendrostellera lessertii extract, an active agent with similar capabilities was isolated from the crude extract of the plant leaves. The aim of this study was to determine whether the anti-proliferative effect observed for this compound, is differentiation-dependent among the drug-treated cells, using U937 cells. Me...
متن کاملMite-related bacterial antigens stimulate inflammatory cells in rosacea.
BACKGROUND Patients with papulopustular rosacea have a higher density of Demodex folliculorum mites on their faces than normal subjects but the role, if any, of their mites in initiating inflammation is disputed. Selective antibiotics are effective in reducing the inflammatory changes of papulopustular rosacea, but their mode of action is unknown. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether a D. follic...
متن کاملIn vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from HIV- and HIV+ chancroid patients by Haemophilus ducreyi antigens.
The cellular immune responses to fractionated Haemophilus ducreyi antigens, coated on latex beads, were assessed in patients with chancroid and in controls, using an in vitro lymphocyte proliferation assay. Several fractions of H. ducreyi antigen revealed stimulating activity. However, only the molecular size ranges 91-78 kD, 59-29 kD, and 25-21 kD induced proliferation that may be specifically...
متن کاملBarium and calcium stimulate secretion from digitonin-permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells by similar pathways.
We compared the characteristics of secretion stimulated by EGTA-buffered Ba(2+)- and Ca(2+)-containing solutions in digitonin-permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Half-maximal secretion occurred at approximately 100 microM Ba2+ or 1 microM Ca2+. Ba(2+)-stimulated release was not due to release of sequestered intracellular Ca2+ because at a constant free Ba2+ concentration, increasing ...
متن کاملConcerted actions of IL-1β inhibit Na+ absorption and stimulate anion secretion by IMCD cells.
Increasing evidence indicates that factors other than adrenocorticoid hormones can influence long-term regulation of Na+ transport by inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells. We now report that, of 14 interleukins tested, only interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and IL-1β inhibited Na+ transport by primary cultures of rat IMCD. IL-1β reduced both basal and mineralocorticoid (MC)-stimulated Na+ transpor...
