OBJECTIVE
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammatory disorder characterized by autodigestion of pancreatic tissue resulting in local pancreatic injury or systemic inflammatory response. Castanospermine (CAST) is an alkaloid from the Castanospermum australe, known as an anti-inflammatory agent
Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks have been reported worldwide, including a recent occurrence in Brazil where it spread rapidly, and an association with increased cases of microcephaly was observed in addition to neurological issues such as GBS that were reported during previous outbreaks. Following
Recent studies suggest that heparin, mannose-6-phosphate (M6P), and castanospermine (CS) may mediate their anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the passage of leukocytes through the subendothelial basement membrane (BM). In order to test this hypothesis, heparin, M6P, and CS were examined for
The glycoprotein processing inhibitor castanospermine (CS) and the monosaccharide mannose-6-phosphate (M6P), as well as some sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), have been shown to inhibit inflammation in rat models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and adjuvant-induced arthritis. Here, the
The intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1, CD54) and its counter receptor, the integrin leukocyte function associated antigen 1 (LFA-1, CD11a/CD18), have important roles in the immune response. These include guiding leukocytes to sites of inflammation (Issekutz and Issekutz, 1992), enhancement of
In this study, we explored the therapeutic targets of the glycosylation processing inhibitor, castanospermine (CAST), in murine passive transfer experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model disease of multiple sclerosis. By using lymphocytic-endothelial adhesion and transmigration
The development of joint inflammation of adoptively transferred arthritis in rats was inhibited by treatment with the simple sugar mannose-6-phosphate or the alkaloid inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase, castanospermine. Mannose-6-phosphate was effective at a dose of 25 mg/kg per day delivered via
Currently available anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other inflammatory diseases are generally inadequate, with disease progression not being arrested by the treatments and undesirable side effects posing problems. In response to these deficiencies our
In this study, we investigated the effect of tunicamycin on the production of pro-inflammatory molecules in RAW264.7 macrophage cells in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists. Tunicamycin caused a reduction in LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and
Dengue fever is an emerging arboviral disease for which no vaccine or antiviral treatment exists and that causes thousands of fatalities each year. To develop an in vivo test system for antidengue drugs, AG129 mice, which are deficient for the interferon- alpha / beta and - gamma receptors, were
A potential role for the macrophage mannose receptor in human monocyte-derived macrophage fusion was explored by testing the effects of previously described inhibitors of its activity on the formation of interleukin-4-induced foreign body giant cells in vitro Giant cell formation was prevented or
We previously reported that the topical application of ascorbic acid 2-O-alpha-glucoside (AA-2G) suppressed the cutaneous inflammation by ultraviolet irradiation in human and guinea pigs (Miyai et al., Nishinihon J. Dermatol., 58, 439-443 (1996)). In this paper, the effect of AA-2G on the lethal
BACKGROUND
Donor leucocytes (DL) play an important role in rat liver transplant tolerance and their postoperative administration can convert rejection to tolerance. They appear to induce early activation, altered patterns of infiltration and death of recipient alloreactive T cells. The ability of
The inducible, higher eukaryotic transcription factor NF-kappa B is activated by a variety of external stimuli including inflammatory cytokines, viral and bacterial infection and UV irradiation. Here we show that internal stress, caused by the accumulation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum
