Abstract:
... Environmental exposure to crystalline silica particles can lead to silicosis, which is one of the most serious pulmonary interstitial fibrosis around the world. Unfortunately, the exact mechanism on silicosis is unclear, and the effective treatments are lacking to date. In this study, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism by which interleukin-11 (IL-11) affects silica particles-induced lung in ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of three dietary flavonoids (apigenin-7-O-glucoside (A7G), isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (I3R), and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G)) on advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced inflammation and vascular endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore, the potential mechanisms of varied effects of those three dietary flavonoids were analyzed by mole ...

Abstract:
... Galactomannan (GM) is widely recognized as an immune enhancer; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is still unknown. Herein, four products with molecular weights in descending order, namely GM40, GM50, GM65, and GMOS, were separated from incomplete degradation products of Sesbania cannabina GM by ethanol precipitation, followed by their immunomodulatory activity. Through FTIR and XPS spect ...

Abstract:
... In this work, a novel methodology to design bifunctional ECL-luminophores with self-enhanced and TSA-amplified characteristics was proposed for improving the sensing performance of ECL-immunosensor toward trace cytokine analysis. Thanks to the qualitative- and quantitative- dual signal amplification technique, the as-prepared ECL biosensor demonstrated excellent detection performance. By analyzing ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Frailty may in most cases result from two main causes: the aging process (age-related frailty) and diseases (evolving chronic conditions or acute medical illnesses — disease-related frailty). The biological determinants characterizing these two main causes of frailty may be different. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to compare the biological and neuroimaging profile of people with ...

Abstract:
... High-quality affinity probes are critical for sensitive and specific protein detection, in particular for detection of protein biomarkers in the early phases of disease development. Proximity extension assays (PEAs) have been used for high-throughput multiplexed protein detection of up to a few thousand different proteins in one or a few microliters of plasma. Clonal affinity reagents can offer ad ...
interleukin-6, etc ; dimerization; hepatocytes; immune system; inflammation; loci; mice; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is an inflammatory cytokine, the level of which is highly elevated in most, if not all, inflammatory states. IL‐6 triggers cell type‐specific responses and acts on target cells via a specific interleukin‐6 receptor (IL‐6R), which, together with IL‐6, binds to and induces the dimerization of a second receptor subunit, gp130. IL‐6 also binds to soluble IL‐6R, and this complex in ...

Abstract:
... Persistent infections of the skin with the human papillomavirus of genus beta (β-HPV) in immunocompetent individuals are asymptomatic, but in immunosuppressed patients, β-HPV infections exhibit much higher viral loads on the skin and are associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. Unlike with HPV16, a high-risk α-HPV, the impact of β-HPV early genes on the innate immune sensing of viral nucl ...

Abstract:
... Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, which is characterized by inflammation of the axial skeleton and the peripheral arthritis. An increase in the number of Th17 cells in patients with AS has been reported. Although Th17 cells have been involved in the induction of inflammation, recent data suggest that not all Th17 cells are pathogenic, showing regulatory funct ...

Abstract:
... Experimental studies have implicated the involvement of interleukin 6 (IL6) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), supporting the possible association between genetic alterations in IL6 gene and risk of COPD. We aimed to examine the association of three polymorphisms in IL6 gene with COPD by integrating the summary results of available reports, and summarize the changes circulating IL6 c ...

Abstract:
... Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with nearly 1.6 billion patients worldwide and an incidence of 0.5–1%. In recent years, basic and clinical studies have revealed that immune cell responses and corresponding secretion of inflammatory factors are important in the control of RA development. Our study found that a natural plant ingredient, menthone, could be used as a potential antir ...

Abstract:
... Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is a very frequently acquired cardiac disease in dog breeds and is responsible for congestive heart failure (CHF). The involvement of the immune system and pro-inflammatory cytokines in dogs with CHF due to mitral valve disease has not yet been extensively investigated. Here, we investigate the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the dysfunction of the imm ...

Abstract:
... A novel polysaccharide (MSP-1) was isolated from the fruiting body of Morchella sextelata and purified using DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-75. The molecular weight of MSP-1 was 1.17 × 10⁴ Da, as detected by HPLC analysis. The monosaccharide composition of MSP-1 was mannose and glucose at a ratio of 1.00: 1.25. Methylation and NMR results revealed that the backbone of MSP-1 was composed of →4)-β-D-Manp-(1 ...
interleukin-6, etc ; exercise; inflammation; lifestyle; necrosis; neoplasms; obesity; secretion; t-test; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Obesity is strongly associated with the degree of inflammation characterised by proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Lifestyle modification with exercise is the right strategy because it can stimulate interleukin 6 (IL-6) secretion which acts as an anti-inflammatory. This study aimed to analyse the response of interval and continuous exercise to inflammatory markers ...

Abstract:
... Hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from buds of P. nigra, P. deltoides and P. trichocarpa were characterized by HPLC-DAD-MS analysis and subsequently evaluated in vitro for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. ABTS and DPPH assays evidenced that P. nigra showed the best antioxidant activity in line with its highest total phenolic content. The analysis of the anti-inflammatory activity ...

Abstract:
... Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the vascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Pericyte loss is an early characteristic phenomenon in DR. However, the mechanism by which pericyte apoptosis occurs in DR is not fully understood. We have focused on the increased STAT3 activation in diabetic retinas because STAT3 activation is associated with inflammation, and persistent chronic inf ...
