Phorbal-12-mysristate-13-acetate-induced inflammation is restored by protectin DX through PPARγ in human promonocytic U937 cells.

Aims: Protectin DX (PDX), a specialized pro-resolving mediator, is an important pharmaceutical compound with potential antioxidant and inflammation-resolving effects. However, the fundamental mechanism by which PDX's ameliorate chronic inflammatory diseases has not yet been elucidated. This study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties and PPARγ-mediated mechanisms of PDX in phorbal-12-mysristate-13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated human promonocytic U937 cells.

Establishment and Characterization of Immortalized Human Dermal Papilla Cells Expressing Human Papillomavirus 16 E6/E7.

Primary human dermal papilla cells (HDPCs) are often preferred in studies on hair growth and regeneration. However, primary HDPCs are limited by their reduced proliferative capacity, decreased hair induction potential, and extended doubling times at higher passages. To overcome these limitations, pTARGET vectors containing human papillomavirus16 (HPV16) E6/E7 oncogenes were transfected into HDPCs and selected using G-148 to generate immortalized cells here.

Human IL-32θA94V mutant attenuates monocyte-endothelial adhesion by suppressing the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 via binding to cell surface receptor integrin αVβ3 and αVβ6 in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs.

Interleukin-32 (IL-32), first reported in 2005, and its isoforms have been the subject of numerous studies investigating their functions in virus infection, cancer, and inflammation. IL-32θ, one of the IL-32 isoforms, has been shown to modulate cancer development and inflammatory responses. A recent study identified an IL-32θ mutant with a cytosine to thymine replacement at position 281 in breast cancer tissues.

Unsaturated oxidated fatty acid 12(S)-HETE attenuates TNF-α expression in TNF-α/IFN-γ-stimulated human keratinocytes.

Chronic skin inflammatory diseases are associated with abnormal immune responses characterized by skin barrier dysfunction. Keratinocytes participate in immune homeostasis regulated by immune cells. Immune homeostasis dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of skin diseases mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which are produced by activated keratinocytes.

Cinnamomum verum extract inhibits NOX2/ROS and PKCδ/JNK/AP-1/NF-κB pathway-mediated inflammatory response in PMA-stimulated THP-1 monocytes.

Background: Cinnamomum verum J. Presl (Cinnamon) is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. C.
