Published: October 2004

Bacterial endotoxin was detected in menstrual effluent from infertile women. Endometrial endotoxin appears to influence reproductive process because the pregnancy rate after IVF-ET was significantly associated with an endotoxin level.

The Effect of Clostridium butyricum-Derived Lipoteichoic Acid on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells.

Vet Med Sci

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Managing Biotic and Chemical Threats to the Quality and Safety of Agro-Products, Institute of Agro-Product Safety and Nutrition, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Hangzhou, China.

Background: Clostridium butyricum is a probiotic widely used in animal husbandry, and there is evidence to suggest that it can alleviate intestinal inflammation in pigs and may be related to its lipoteichoic acid (LTA), but the mechanism is still unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the regulatory effect and potential mechanism of C. butyricum LTA on LPS-stimulated inflammation in intestinal porcine epithelial line-J2 (IPEC-J2).

A monoamine oxidase B inhibitor altered gene expression of catalytically active dual-specificity phosphatases in human oral gingival keratinocytes.

Department of Oral Biological and Medical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Objective: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors reduce inflammation in a number of in vitro and in vivo models. This finding led to the development of a novel MAO-B selective inhibitor (RG0216) designed to reduce blood-brain barrier penetration. To elucidate RG0216's regulatory role in inflammation-relevant signaling pathways, we employed a transcriptome analytic approach to identify genes that are differentially regulated by RG0216 and then globally identified which inflammation-relevant biological signaling pathways were altered by this drug.

Toll-like receptor 4 inhibition by pyridostigmine is associated with a reduction in hypertension and inflammation in rat models of preeclampsia.

Key Laboratory of Shaanxi Province for Craniofacial Precision Medicine Research, College of Stomatology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, People's Republic of China.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is marked by hypertension and detrimental sterile inflammatory response. Despite the reported anti-inflammatory effect of pyridostigmine bromide (PYR) in different models, its anti-inflammatory mechanism in PE is unclear. This study assessed whether such an anti-inflammatory effect involves inhibition of placental Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling.

Sepsis is characterised by dysregulated immune responses to infection, leading to multi-organ dysfunction and high rates of mortality. With increasing survival rates in recent years long-term neurological and psychiatric consequences have become more apparent in survivors. Many patients develop sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) which encompasses the profound but usually transient neuropsychiatric syndrome delirium but also new brain injury that emerges in the months and years post-sepsis.
