Macrophage Derived Platelet Activating Factor Implicated in the Resolution Phase of Gouty Inflammation
Human blood derived in vitro differentiated monocytes or macrophages are a population of cells which have been investigated over the years to determine the role these cells play in the resolution phase of gout. Macrophages are able to phagocytose monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals without releasing inflammatory factors. This study analysed macrophage platelet activating factor secretio...
متن کاملProstaglandins, Histamine and Platelet Activating Factor: Different Mediators in Dithranol-Induced Skin Damage
Dithranol is a potent agent in treating psoriasis but its adverse effects on intact skin have limited its usage. There are many proposed mediators for its adverse effects including prostaglandins, histamine, platelet activating factor and free radicals. In this study we examined the effect of different agents (diazepam, terfenadine, indomethacin and garlic extract) on dithranol-induced skin dam...
متن کاملEffects of the tat and nef gene products of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on transcription controlled by the HIV-1 long terminal repeat and on cell growth in macrophages.
The RAW264 murine macrophage cell line was used as a model to examine the role of the tat and nef gene products in the transcription regulation of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) in macrophages. Contrary to claims that the activity of the HIV-1 LTR responds poorly in rodent cells to trans activation by the viral tat gene product, cotransfection of RAW2...

متن کاملLipopolysaccharide induces anandamide synthesis in macrophages via CD14/MAPK/phosphoinositide 3-kinase/NF-kappaB independently of platelet-activating factor.
Macrophage-derived endocannabinoids have been implicated in endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide (LPS))-induced hypotension, but the endocannabinoid involved and the mechanism of its regulation by LPS are unknown. In RAW264.7 mouse macrophages, LPS (10 ng/ml) increases anandamide (AEA) levels >10-fold via CD14-, NF-kappaB-, and p44/42-dependent, platelet-activating factor-independent activation of the...
