We have shown that aldehydes impact the bronchial airway gene expression associated with inflammatory responses. In this study, we sought to determine whether microRNA (miRNA) plays a role in regulating the airway gene expression response to aldehyde exposure. We analyzed the whole genome miRNA and

Developing novel anti-inflammatory drugs is increasingly important in modern pharmaceutical industry. In this work, the reactions of both amino acids and their methylesters with 3-(5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-2-yl)propanal (2) were performed to either directly provide the goal products

Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 and Vanilloid 1 (TRPA1, TRPV1) ion channels expressed on nociceptive primary sensory neurons are important regulators of pain and inflammation. TRPA1 is activated by several inflammatory mediators including formaldehyde and methylglyoxal that are products of

Isobutyraldehyde, a branched alkyl aldehyde, is used as a chemical intermediate and flavoring agent. It was nominated by the National Cancer Institute for toxicity and carcinogenicity studies by the NTP. Reasons for nomination and selection of isobutyraldehyde for study included its high potential

Human recombinant carbonyl reductase 1 (E.C. 1.1.1.184, hCBR1) is shown to efficiently act as aldehyde reductase on glutathionylated alkanals, namely 3-glutathionyl-4-hydroxynonanal (GSHNE), 3-glutathionyl-nonanal, 3-glutathionyl-hexanal and 3-glutathionyl-propanal. The presence of the glutathionyl

Oxidation of unsaturated lipids generates reactive aldehydes that accumulate in tissues during inflammation, ischemia, or aging. These aldehydes form covalent adducts with histidine-containing dipeptides such as carnosine and anserine, which are present in high concentration in skeletal muscle,

E-cigarette use has become increasingly popular, especially among the young. Its long-term influence upon health is unknown. Aim of this review has been to present the current state of knowledge about the impact of e-cigarette use on health, with an emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe. During the
