Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and carbon monoxide were shown to normalize oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions induced by neuropathic pain in the central nervous system, but their effects in the locus coeruleus (LC) of animals with peripheral inflammation and their interaction with nitric oxide are
This study investigated the effect of haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in nociception induced by formalin injection in the mice hind paw. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP, an HO-1 inducer, 5mg/kg) 24h before the test, inhibited the nociceptive response during the second
Reactive oxygen species, suggested to be involved in inflammatory bowel disease, may be modulated by endogenous anti-oxidant products of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). In the present work, HO-1 expression in trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in the rat and the effects of HO-1
We have studied the influence of ovariectomy on the inflammatory response and bone metabolism on CIA as a model of postmenopausal arthritis as well as the effects of tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP), a heme oxygenase inhibitor. Ovariectomy in non-arthritic mice produced increased serum PGD2 levels and
Propionibacterium acnes: (P. acnes) produce Porphyrins; however, fluorescence measurement of Porphyrins from Ultraviolet-A (UVA) images has failed to establish a correlation. Acne clinical research and imaging has ignored the spectral excitation-emission characteristics and the exact pattern of the
The purpose of this study was to investigate several inflammatory mediators and cartilage degradation molecules as possible biomarkers of joint lesion in the anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) model of osteoarthritis in rats. We also assessed whether the treatment with the
Anti-inflammatory properties of zinc protoporphyrin disodium (Zn-PP-2Na) were studied. Zn-PP-2Na exhibits anti-allergic action against type III and IV reactions (passive Arthus reaction in rats and tuberculin-induced footpad reaction in mice), but does not affect type I and II reactions (homologous
The effects of cilostazol on stimulating heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression including signal pathways and suppression of inflammatory cytokines and molecules were studied. Cilostazol stimulation time (1-8 h)- and concentration (1-30 μM)-dependently increased the HO-1 mRNA and protein expression
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) is a key enzyme for cholesteryl ester biosynthesis. The objective of the present study is to investigate the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of SOAT1 in atherosclerosis. Our results indicated that SOAT1 was highly expressed in endothelial cells of
Generally accepted, inflammation and neuron apoptosis are two characterized pathological features of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Ginsenoside Rg1 was reported showing distinct neuroprotective effect in cerebral IR injury but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. PPARγ/Heme
Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Leguminosae) grows in Central and South America, Africa, Madagascar, and Southern Asia. D. odorifera possesses many useful pharmacological properties, such as antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities in various cell types. 4-Methoxydalbergione (MTD) and
Epidemiological findings support the hypothesis that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). Moreover, OA cartilage from patients with T2DM exhibits a greater response to inflammatory stress, but the molecular mechanism is unclear. To investigate whether the
It has been previously verified that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have a good therapeutic effect on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and the potential for regeneration of damaged pancreatic tissue, but the exact molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated the OBJECTIVE
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key proinflammatory cytokine that has been considered to be important in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. Therefore, host-modulatory agents directed at inhibiting IL-6 appear to be beneficial in terms of attenuating periodontal disease progression and
We prospectively studied 45 anaemic patients (37 women, 8 men) with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The combination of serum ferritin and CRP (as well as ESR) in its predictive capacity for bone marrow iron stores was examined. The relationship between other iron-related measurements
