Glucose, but not glutamine, protects against spontaneous and anti-Fas antibody-induced apoptosis in human neutrophils.
Neutrophils are phagocytic cells of the innate immune system that use a combination of reactive oxygen species and anti-microbial toxins to kill and destroy ingested micro-organisms. Once they have performed their function, neutrophils die by apoptosis, which is important for the effective resolution of the inflammatory response. Both glucose and glutamine are important fuels for neutrophils, y...
متن کاملGeranylgeranylacetone protects membranes against nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Direct gastric mucosal cell damage mediated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is involved in the formation of NSAID-induced gastric lesions. We recently suggested that this direct cytotoxicity of NSAIDs is caused by their membrane-permeabilization activity. Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), a clinically used antiulcer drug, can protect gastric mucosa against lesion formation mediated ...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory treatment in AD mice protects against neuronal pathology.
Prior studies suggest that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may lower the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and delay onset or slow progression of symptoms in mouse models of AD. We examined the effects of chronic NSAID treatment in order to determine which elements of the pathological features might be ameliorated. We compared the effects of the NSAIDs ibuprofen and celecoxib...
متن کاملRecombinant Thrombomodulin Protects Mice against Histone-Induced Lethal Thromboembolism
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have shown that histones, the chief protein component of chromatin, are released into the extracellular space during sepsis, trauma, and ischemia-reperfusion injury, and act as major mediators of the death of an organism. This study was designed to elucidate the cellular and molecular basis of histone-induced lethality and to assess the protective effects of recombin...
متن کاملYeast Protects Against Bacterial Infection
Since 1940 when we began a study of sensitization in laboratory animals treated with pertussis vaccine we have emphasized the role of the bacterial protein in this phenomenon. Considerable information has been accumulated which indicates that vaccination with Hemnophilus pertussis, while increasing resistance against infection by the same organism will, at the same time, produce hypersensitivit...
