When THP-1 cells are differentiated into adherent macro-phage-like cells, they respond to inflammatory stimuli by changing their phenotypes to an activation state and altering the expression of inflammation-related genes. Nitric oxide (NO) is a diatomic molecule implicating in various pathological conditions including tissue damage, ER stress, obesity, and cancer. The sustained inflammatory microenvironment leads to increased NO release through the activation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene in macrophages. Here, we provide a dataset on the optimized conditions for the THP-1 differentiation and the induction of NO/iNOS signaling under inflammatory stimulus. The human monocytic cells were differentiated into adherent macrophage-like phenotype by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulation under optimized conditions. In this study, NO/iNOS signaling capacity and the regulation of other pro-inflammatory genes including TNF-α, IL-1β, and COX-2 in the LPS-induced THP-1 were examined.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition characterized by excessive immune responses and oxidative stress, leading to significant tissue damage. Given the need for novel therapeutic agents, this study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanisms of biotransformed root extracts (BT-PGR), which were enzymatically processed using rapidsase PL Classic from . The goal was to assess the potential of BT-PGR as a natural treatment for ALI.

Corneal injury leads to impaired normal structure of the cornea. Improving the wound healing process in epithelial cells significantly contributes to ocular damage treatments. Here, we aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of nitric oxide (NO) and its mediator, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), in the process of corneal wound healing.

A large body of evidence has shown a direct link between arsenic exposure and drug resistance to Leishmania parasites against antimonial preparations in visceral leishmaniasis (VL) hyper-endemic regions, especially in India and its sub-continent. However, the implicated roles of arsenic on the VL host, pathophysiological changes, and immune function have not yet been clarified, particularly at the reported concentration of arsenic in the VL hyper-endemic area of Bihar, India. Herein, we exposed the mouse VL model to arsenic (0.
