Amino acid utilization of mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells was investigated. During the logarithmic growth stage, RAW264.7 cells grew very fast, with an approximate doubling time of 11 hours, in DMEM supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum. RAW264.7 cells consumed glutamine at the fastest rate, followed by serine, leucine, isoleucine, arginine, lysine, valine and other amino acids. When the cell density reached a critical threshold level, cells began to suffer non-apoptotic cell death characterized by mitochondrial damage (revealed by transmission electron microscopy) and a smear pattern of DNA fragmentation (revealed by agarose gel electrophoresis). At this point, glutamine, serine and glucose in the medium were almost completely exhausted, whereas other amino acids remained at more than 40% of their initial concentrations. Based on these data, it is recommended that glutamine, serine and glucose should be supplemented for the long culture of RAW264.7 cells.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and severe clinical condition characterized by inflammatory damage to the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers, resulting in high incidence and mortality rates. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective drugs for the treatment of ALI. In a previous clinical study, we observed that Jinyinqingre oral liquid (JYQR), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation prepared by the Taihe Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine, exhibited notable efficacy in treating inflammation-related hepatitis and cholecystitis in clinical settings.

Fasting protects liver from ischemic injury through Sirt1-mediated downregulation of circulating HMGB1 in mice.

J Hepatol

Swiss Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary Center, Department of Surgery, University Hospital Zürich, CH-8091 Zürich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Background & Aims: Fasting and calorie restriction are associated with a prolonged life span and an increased resistance to stress. The protective effects of fasting have been exploited for the mitigation of ischemic organ injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether fasting protects liver against ischemia reperfusion (IR) through energy-preserving or anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Objective: To investigate the effect of RNA interfering TLR4 signal pathway on phagocytosis of Kupffer cells.

Methods: RAW2647 mice mononuclear macrophage leukemia cells were observed. The tested group was interfered by Tlr4-mus-1567 RNA which had the best result confirmed by QPCR, cells interfered by Negative Control RNA as NC group, and normal cell as control.

Coordinate regulation of TLR-mediated arachidonic acid mobilization in macrophages by group IVA and group V phospholipase A2s.

Macrophages can be activated through TLRs for a variety of innate immune responses. In contrast with the wealth of data existing on TLR-dependent gene expression and resultant cytokine production, very little is known on the mechanisms governing TLR-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization and subsequent eicosanoid production. We have previously reported the involvement of both cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and secreted group V phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-V) in regulating the AA mobilization response of macrophages exposed to bacterial LPS, a TLR4 agonist.
