[The β2GPI/aβ2GPI inhibits phagocytosis of oxidized low-density lipoprotein in THP-1 macrophages via activating TLR4].

Xi bao yu fen zi mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of cellular and molecular immunology
Objective To investigate the effects of β2 glycoprotein I/anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibody complex (β2GPI/aβ2GPI) on lipid phagocytosis and class B scavenger receptor CD36 expression of macrophages, and the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) during t...

Immunomodulation of Zerumbone via Decreasing the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species from Immune Cells.

Pakistan journal of biological sciences : PJBS
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Zerumbone has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and anti-hyperglycemic effects but the specific mechanism through which zerumbone exerts its anti-inflammatory action through inhibiting reactive oxygen spec...

Polysaccharides extracted from the roots of Bupleurum chinense DC modulates macrophage functions.

Chinese journal of natural medicines
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of polysaccharides extracted from Bupleurum chinense DC (BCPs) on macrophage functions. In the in vivo experiment, 1 mL of 5% sodium thioglycollate was injected into the abdomen of the mice on Day 0 ...

[Optimization and evaluation of an inflammatory cell model in LPS-stimulated PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells].

Xi bao yu fen zi mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of cellular and molecular immunology
Objective To develop an optimal inflammatory cell model from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated phorbol ester (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 cells, and investigate its response to anti-inflammatory agent phosphodiesterase inhibitor rolipram. Methods THP...

Decreased Uptake and Enhanced Mitochondrial Protection Underlie Reduced Toxicity of Nanoceria in Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages.

Journal of biomedical nanotechnology
Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (nanoceria), currently used as catalysts including additives to diesel fuel, also present potential as a novel therapeutic agent for disorders involving oxidative stress. However, little is known about the effects of nano...

The Effect of Artemisia fragrans Willd: Essential Oil on Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression and Nitric Oxide Production in Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Murine Macrophage Cell Line.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
The genus Artemisia is estimated to comprise over 800 species with anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Artemisia fragrans (A. fragrans), a species that belongs to genus Artemisia, is rich in monoterpenes and sesqu...
