Allergies affect a significant proportion of the world's population, and existing vaccination strategies to restrict their adverse pathologies often render side-effects. The aim of this study was to design a new vaccine for allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT), and to investigate its preventive
Celastrol has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities, but its anti-allergic effects remain poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the ability of celastrol to inhibit asthmatic reactions in a mouse allergic asthma model. BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged with
OBJECTIVE
This study investigates the capacity of a potent anti-inflammatory nanomedicine, celastrol, incorporated into poly(amidoamine) dendrimers, to inhibit endotoxin-mediated signaling in microglia.
METHODS
Celastrol was incorporated into amino (Cel/G4-NH(2)) and hydroxyl (Cel/G4-OH) terminus
The present study aimed to explore the possible radioprotective effects of celastrol and relevant molecular mechanisms in an in vitro cell and in vivo mouse models exposed to gamma radiation. Human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and foreskin fibroblast (BJ) cells were exposed to gamma radiation of 20Gy,
BACKGROUND
Photoreceptor death leads to vision impairment in several retinal degenerative disorders. Therapies protecting photoreceptor from degeneration remain to be developed. Anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, and neuroprotective effects of celastrol have been demonstrated in a variety of
The dysferlin-deficient A/J mouse strain represents a homologous model for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B. We evaluated the disease phenotype in 10 month old A/J mice compared to two dysferlin-sufficient, C57BL/6 and A/JOlaHsd, mouse lines to determine which functional end-points are sufficiently
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like structures released by activated neutrophils. Recent studies suggest that NETs play an active role in driving autoimmunity and tissue injury in diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of this
OBJECTIVE
High-fat diet (HFD) increases the risk of
inflammatory reaction and acute arterial thrombosis.
Celastrol has been confirmed to regulate inflammatory cytokine levels in atherosclerotic animal models. However, the anti-thrombotic effects of
celastrol have remained to be
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential beneficial effects of celastrol, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) under hypertensive conditions.
METHODS
Hypertension was induced in rats by fructose feeding.
Celastrol, a natural triterpene, has been shown to treat obesity and its related metabolic disorders. In this study, we first assessed the relationship between the antiobesity effects of celastrol and its antiinflammatory activities. Our results showed that celastrol can reduce weight gain,
Celastrol, also named as tripterine, is a pharmacologically active ingredient extracted from the root of traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of celastrol on ulcerative
Toll‑like receptor 4 (TLR4)‑mediated immune and inflammatory signaling serves a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Our previous study demonstrated that celastrol treatment was able to improve hepatic steatosis and inhibit the TLR4 signaling cascade pathway
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the synovial joints, deformities, and disability. The prolonged use of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs is associated with severe adverse effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for safer and less
BACKGROUND
Celastrol, a quinone methide triterpenoid isolated from the Celastraceae family, exhibits various biological properties, including chemopreventive, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. In this study, we showed that celastrol inhibits inflammatory reactions in macrophages and protects
Celastrol, a triterpene isolated from the root of traditional Chinese medicine Thunder of God Vine, possesses anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity to treat rheumatoid disease or as health product. Necroptosis is considered as a new approach to overcome chemotherapeutics resistance.
