The role of Hsp27 (heat shock protein 27) chaperone in regulation of THP-1 tumor cell apoptosis was studied. Realization of tumor cell apoptosis under conditions of in vitro culturing with Hsp27 specific inhibitor (KRIBB3) was evaluated by fluorescent microscopy with FITC-labeled annexin V and propidium iodide. Measurements of Bcl-2 family proteins (Bcl-2, Bax, Bad) in tumor cells incubated with Hsp27 inhibitor were carried out by Western blotting. Chaperone Hsp27 acted as apoptosis inhibitor in THP-1 tumor cells modulating the proportion of antiapoptotic (Bcl-2) and proapoptotic (Bax and Bad) proteins.

Isatin (1-indole-2,3-dione) and its derivatives have been found to exhibit various biological activities, including anticancer and antidiabetic properties. In this study, a series of nine isatin-1,2,3-triazole conjugates were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potential experiments. Their synthesis involved the propargylation of isatin 1 with propargyl bromide to obtain -propargyl isatin 2, which was subjected to click reactions with different aromatic azides to yield isatin--1,2,3-triazoles (3a-i).

Background: High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) plays an essential role in various pathological conditions, including inflammation, fibrosis, autoimmune diseases, and carcinogenesis. The quantification of HMGB1 in body fluids holds promise for clinical applications.
Objectives: This study aimed to isolate high-affinity single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers that target HMGB1.

Background: Postprandial hyperglycemia induces expression of inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which promotes the onset of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated whether a transient high-glucose culture enhanced sustained expression of TNF, or whether the induction is associated with histone acetylation, and bromodomain protein containing protein 4 (BRD4), which binds acetylated histone, in human juvenile macrophage-like THP-1 cells.
Methods: THP-1 cells were cultured in medium with high-glucose in the presence or absence of (+)-JQ1, an inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain family, for 24 h (day 0).
