Conditioned Medium from Cultured Colorectal Cancer Cells Affects Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Inflammatory Phenotype in Vitro

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Studies have indicated that immune cells and soluble factors play a key role in maintaining the balance between tumor-promoting inflammation and anti-tumor immunity. It has been shown that secreted cytokines from CRC cell lines could affect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), monocytes, and macrophages phenot...

Differential cell analysis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from pulmonary lesions of patients with tuberculosis.

To obtain information on the cellular reactions to Mycobacterium (M) tuberculosis in the lung, we analyzed the cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from pulmonary lesions in comparison with those in BAL fluid from nonaffected regions of the lungs, and control lungs, and in peripheral blood of patients with tuberculosis. Neutrophils and lymphocytes were increased in number in BAL fluid fr...

Inhibitory effect of Cinnamon on prevention of foam cell formation in platelet and monocytes co-culture

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Following endothelial damage and platelet aggregation in that area and the recruitment of monocytes and their conversion to macrophages, LDL gradually accumulates under the endothelial artery wall and gradually oxidized and convert to oxi-LDL. By swallowing it, the macrophages turn into foam cell and then athe...
