OBJECTIVE
Vascular inflammation, including the expression of inflammatory cytokines in endothelial cells, plays a critical role in hyperhomocysteinaemia-associated vascular diseases. Cathepsin V, specifically expressed in humans, is involved in vascular diseases through its elastolytic and
The histiophagous scuticociliate Philasterides dicentrarchi is the aetiological agent of scuticociliatosis, a parasitic disease of farmed turbot. Curcumin, a polyphenol from Curcuma longa (turmeric), is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We investigated the in vitro effects
Systemic sclerosis is a multisystem inflammatory and vascular lesion leading to extensive tissue fibrosis. A reversible S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) inhibitor, DZ2002, modulates the pathologic processes of various inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. This study Reactive oxygen species have been demonstrated to involve in homocysteine-induced Ly-6Chi monocytes differentiation. Probucol is an anti-oxidant agent that has been used to treat atherosclerosis. We sought to evaluate the effect and potential mechanism of probucol on homocysteine-induced
We analyzed the connections between recipient genetic features and 12-month graft function. The gene polymorphisms of myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), fetuin A, and homocysteine and their gene product concentrations were correlated with 12-month kidney
Our study aims to investigate the roles of microRNA-130a (miR-130a) in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) injury and inflammatory responses by targeting PTEN through the PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway. HCAECs were treated with 1.0 mmol/L homocysteine (HCY) and assigned into eight
BACKGROUND
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Monocytes display inflammatory and resident subsets and commit to specific functions in atherogenesis. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that HHcy modulates monocyte heterogeneity and leads to
The reversible S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase inhibitor DZ2002 [methyl 4-(adenin-9-yl)-2-hydroxybutanoate] suppresses antigen-induced-specific immune responses, particularly type 1 helper T cell (Th1)-type responses. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is thought to be a Th1
A specific and potent inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolase, 9-[(1'R,2'S,3'R)-2', 3'-dihydroxycyclopentanyl]adenine (DHCaA), was evaluated for its immunosuppressive efficacy on murine T-cell proliferation in vitro and in several animal models, including delayed type
Recent studies have demonstrated that l-homocysteine (Hcys)-induced podocyte injury leading to glomerular damage or sclerosis is attributable to the activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Given the demonstrated
DZ2002, a reversible S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) inhibitor with immunosuppressive properties and potent therapeutic activity against various autoimmune diseases in mice. The present study was designed to characterize the potential therapeutic effects of DZ2002 on murine model of
3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) is an inhibitor of S-Adenosyl-L-Homocysteine Hydrolase (SAHH) known to inhibit EZH2, a histone methylase upregulated during osteoarthritis. In this study, we assessed its effects in human articular chondrocytes. Anti-inflammatory effects were assessed by Nitric Oxide
Whole-blood free amino acids were measured in a control group made up of eight healthy women fasted for 12 h and also in eight patients with acute pancreatitis, five patients with acute cholecystitis and seven patients with acute appendicitis. Blood was withdrawn immediately on admission to hospital
Injury to the vascular endothelium and the subsequent inflammatory response are considered prerequisites for the development of atherosclerosis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) production by and monocyte adhesion to aortic endothelial cells (EC) may participate in this inflammatory process and
Treatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVE) with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) increases their capacity to adhere human neutrophils. We have found that 3-deazaadenosine (c3Ado), when added in conjunction with TNF-alpha, inhibited this increase in neutrophil
