Regulatory Effect of Cinnamaldehyde on Monocyte/Macrophage-Mediated Inflammatory Responses
Cinnamaldehyde (CA) has been known to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Although numerous pharmacological effects have been demonstrated, regulatory effect of CA on the functional activation of monocytes and macrophages has not been fully elucidated yet. To evaluate its monocyte/macrophage-mediated immune responses, macrophages activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and monocyte...
متن کاملHyperhomocysteinemia Potentiates Hyperglycemia-Induced Inflammatory Monocyte Differentiation and Atherosclerosis
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with increased diabetic cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of HHcy in atherogenesis associated with hyperglycemia (HG) remains unknown. To examine the role and mechanisms by which HHcy accelerates HG-induced atherosclerosis, we established an atherosclerosis-susceptible HHcy and HG mouse model. HHcy was established in mice deficient in cystathio...
متن کاملMaggot Secretions Skew Monocyte-Macrophage Differentiation Away from a Pro-Inflammatory to a Pro-Angiogenic Type
BACKGROUND Maggots of the blowfly Lucilia sericata are used for the treatment of chronic wounds. Earlier we reported maggot secretions to inhibit pro-inflammatory responses of human monocytes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of maggot secretions on the differentiation of monocytes into pro-inflammatory (MØ-1) and anti-inflammatory/pro-angiogenic macrophages (MØ-2) as these c...
متن کاملTranscription factors that regulate monocyte/macrophage differentiation.
Although all the cells in an organism contain the same genetic information, differences in the cell phenotype arise from the expression of lineage-specific genes. During myelopoiesis, external differentiating signals regulate the expression of a set of transcription factors. The combined action of these transcription factors subsequently determines the expression of myeloid-specific genes and t...
متن کاملErythromycin promotes monocyte to macrophage differentiation.
Recent reports have suggested that long-term administration of erythromycin (EM) appears to ameliorate some of chronic inflammatory processes where macrophages and lymphocytes play important roles. Our study was initiated to examine the effect of EM on monocyte-macrophage lineage in vitro. EM (1 approximately 100 micrograms/ml) significantly increased the number of adherent monocyte-derived mac...
