Placental CD4 T cells isolated from preeclamptic women cause preeclampsia-like symptoms in pregnant nude-athymic rats.

Pregnancy hypertension
Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension during pregnancy, is associated with a proinflammatory profile compared to normal pregnancy (NP). We hypothesize that CD4 T cells from PE patient placentas cause PE symptoms during pregnancy compared to those...

In vitro intestinal epithelium responses to titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Titanium dioxide (TiO) is enclosed in many consumer products including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods. TiO (E171) is daily ingested as mixed nano- and submicron-sized particles since it is approved as a white colorant in Europe in a wide varie...

The comparison of pleural fluid TNF-α levels in tuberculous and nontuberculous pleural effusion.

The Indian journal of tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Tuberculous pleural effusion is the manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in pleura. With existing means, it is difficult to establish the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and non-TB pleural effusions; thus, establishing the...

Mixed Th2 and non-Th2 inflammatory pattern in the asthma-COPD overlap: a network approach.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
INTRODUCTION: The asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is a clinical condition that combines features of those two diseases, and that is difficult to define due to the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms. D...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines after an episode of acute pancreatitis: associations with fasting gut hormone profile.

Inflammation research : official journal of the European Histamine Research Society ... [et al.]
INTRODUCTION: Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, are often elevated in individuals after acute pancreatitis but what determines their levels is poorly u...

Jobelyn attenuates inflammatory responses and neurobehavioural deficits associated with complete Freund-adjuvant-induced arthritis in mice.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of the patients and a major cause of work disability. Current drugs for its treatment only provide palliative effect, as cure for the dis...

Candida albicans-derived mannoproteins activate NF-κB in reporter cells expressing TLR4, MD2 and CD14.

PloS one
The ability of soluble C. albicans 20A (serotype A) mannoprotein (CMP) to serve as a ligand for toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its co-receptors was examined using commercially available and stably-transfected HEK293 cells that express human TLR4, MD...

Kaempferol modulates Angiopoietin-like protein 2 expression to lessen the mastitis in mice.

Pharmacological reports : PR
BACKGROUND: Mastitis is inflammation of a breast (or udder). Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) has been found as a key inflammatory mediator in mastitis. Purpose of this research was to investigate the mechanisms about repressing effect of kaempf...
