In the human promonocytic U937 cell line, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) was a potent inhibitor of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signalling pathway induced by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). However, PDTC did not inhibit tumour necrosis factor-alpha
Ionizing radiation (IR) is a pro-oxidant that kills cells by both apoptotic and necrotic mechanisms. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a thiol-containing compound that may act either as a pro- or anti-oxidant depending on the experimental conditions. This study was designed to determine whether
Exposure to mercury can lead to several injuries in mammals, including immune system dysfunction, and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), as a metal chelator and antioxidant, has been indicated to increase the cytotoxic effects of toxic metals. However, the toxicological effects and possible
The effects of irniine, a pyrrolidine alkaloid extracted from the tubers of Arisarum vulgare, on rat hepatocyte primary cultures and rat liver epithelial cell line (RLEC) were studied. Cytotoxicity was first evaluated by LDH release, MTT and NR tests and MDA production, while cellular alterations
The nuclear transcription factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and free radicals are known to be involved in apoptosis. We studied the effects of a series of di-aryl-substituted pyrazole NF-kappaB inhibitors including tepoxalin on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced apoptosis in murine fibrosarcoma
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the involvement of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha gene expression, apoptosis induction and virus replication in cultured human fetal membrane chorion cells infected with influenza virus.
METHODS
Influenza virus-infected
BACKGROUND
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) represents a class of antioxidants and is a potent inducer of the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene and an inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B). We examined the impact of PDTC preconditioning against cold ischemia and reperfusion injury in the rat
UNASSIGNED
To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) on the apoptosis of human degenerated nucleus pulposus (NP) cells induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and explore its possible molecular mechanism.
UNASSIGNED
The intervertebral disc tissues were derived from patients with
UNASSIGNED
Mast cells (MCs) play a key role in immune process response to invading pathogens.
UNASSIGNED
This study assessed the involvement of MCs in controlling Staphylococcus aureus infection in a cutaneous infection model of MC-deficient (KitW-sh/W-sh) mice.
UNASSIGNED
KitW-sh/W-sh mice
BACKGROUND
The primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of astrocytic tumor with an average survival of approximately 12-14 months. The search for novel and more efficient chemo-agents against this disease is urgent. Salinomycin induces broad anti-cancer effects; however, its
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is an important component of the inflammatory response of the vessel wall and has been shown to be regulated by cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). However, the precise signaling pathways leading to MCP-1 induction have not been
Tumor necrosis factor activates nuclear transcription factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) by inducing serine phosphorylation of the inhibitory subunit of NF-kappaB (IkappaBalpha), which leads to its ubiquitination and degradation. In contrast, pervanadate (PV) activates NF-kappaB and induces tyrosine
BACKGROUND
Human periodontal ligament (HPDL) cells may support osteoclastogenesis by expressing receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) in response to periopathogenic factors and inflammatory cytokines. Because osteoclastogenesis requires the presence of macrophage
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB inhibitor, on cytokine expression and suppression of anterior chamber inflammation in experimental autoimmune anterior uveitis. Uveitis was induced in the Lewis rats
Renal mesangial cells express group II phospholipase A2 in response to two principal classes of activating signals that may interact in a synergistic fashion. These two groups of activators comprise inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF
