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...

TNF-α increases in the CSF of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before CNS relapse.

Blood cells, molecules & diseases
There is scarce information regarding the concentration of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their clinical association with CNS status. A prospective analysis of 40 patients <18years with ...

INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF MANGIFERIN ON PYLORI-INDUCED INFLAMMATION IN HUMAN GASTRIC CARCINOMA AGS CELLS.

African journal of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicines : AJTCAM
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is a serious health issue caused by and claims more lives in developing and undeveloped countries. Hence, the need for a natural drug with several pharmacological activities with no adverse effect are highly recommended. T...

Histone deacetylase 2 is decreased in peripheral blood pro-inflammatory CD8+ T and NKT-like lymphocytes following lung transplant.

Respirology (Carlton, Vic.)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Immunosuppression therapy following lung transplantation fails to prevent chronic rejection in many patients, which is associated with lack of suppression of cytotoxic mediators and pro-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral b...

Modelling with ANIMO: between fuzzy logic and differential equations.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Computational support is essential in order to reason on the dynamics of biological systems. We have developed the software tool ANIMO (Analysis of Networks with Interactive MOdeling) to provide such computational support and allow insigh...

Drug target identification using network analysis: Taking active components in Sini decoction as an example.

Scientific reports
Identifying the molecular targets for the beneficial effects of active small-molecule compounds simultaneously is an important and currently unmet challenge. In this study, we firstly proposed network analysis by integrating data from network pharmac...
