Camel Whey Protein and Baicalein Suppressed Mast Cell Degranulation in Mice Models of IgE- and Non-IgE-Mediated Anaphylaxes: Potential Mechanisms on Downstream Cell Signaling of Mast Cells.

Introduction: Novel treatments are being researched to develop more safe and effective protective medications for anaphylaxis. Camel whey protein (CWP) and baicalein (BAC, one of the major flavones) have multiple beneficial properties including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Methods: The current study investigated/compared the therapeutic protection of repeated intragastric administration of CWP (100 mg/kg body weight, as an animal extract) and BAC (10 mg/kg body weight, as a plant extract), before the challenge with ovalbumin (OVA) or receiving the compound 48/80 (C48/80), against mice models for IgE-independent and dependent anaphylaxes.

Regulation of miRNA-155-5p ameliorates NETosis in pulmonary fibrosis rat model via inhibiting its target cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α and TGF-β1.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an age-related inflammatory disease with no cure up till now.It is accompanied by neutrophils infiltration as the main responders to inflammation and fibrosis. Importantly, neutrophils release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) through NETosis process.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells suppress IL-9 in adjuvant-induced arthritis.

Interleukin-9 (IL-9) has been shown to be upregulated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The exact role of IL-9 has not yet been effectively studied. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown a promising immunomodulatory role towards repairing cartilage and restoring joint function.

Ameliorative role of camel whey protein and rosuvastatin on induced dyslipidemia in mice.

The incidence of obesity is rapidly increasing throughout the world. Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This work presents a novel approach to study the activity of camel whey protein (WP) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as a cheap dietary protein substance extracted from camel milk to produce satiety and help in building muscles.
