Increase of gingival matured dendritic cells number in elderly patients with chronic periodontitis
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory cell subset proportions in the upper gingival connective tissue, including mature dendritic cells (DC) in elderly and younger patients with generalized ...
Sublethal doses of dinophysistoxin-1 and okadaic acid stimulate secretion of inflammatory factors on innate immune cells: Negative health consequences
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
© 2016 Elsevier LtdOne of the proposed mechanisms to explain why Diarrhetic Shellfish Poison (DSP) toxins are tumor promoters is founded on the capacity of these toxins to increase TNF-α secretion. Although macrophages are ...
Role of cyclooxygenase-2 in Trypanosoma cruzi survival in the early stages of parasite host-cell interaction
(Fundaco Oswaldo Cruz, 2015-04-01)
Chagas disease, caused by the intracellular protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a serious health problem in Latin America. During this parasitic infection, the heart is one of the major organs affected. The pathogenesis of ...
Diazepam, em dose única, inibe a migração celular, a estimulação macrofágica e a atividade de TNF-α na reação inflamatória aguda induzida por LPS em camundongos
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Conjunto Quimicas, 2008-10-01)
Benzodiazepines are one of the most frequently prescribed drugs due to their anxiolytic properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diazepam on lipopolysaccharide-induced peritoneal acute inflammatory ...
Increased circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and imbalanced regulatory T-cell cytokines production in chronic idiopathic urticaria
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
The immunologic characterization of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), mainly regarding cytokine profile needs more investigation. We examined circulating inflammatory cytokine levels, T-cell induced secretion, and cytokine ...
Inflammatory Th1 and Th17 in the Intestine Are Each Driven by Functionally Specialized Dendritic Cells with Distinct Requirements for MyD88
(Cell Press, 2016-10-25)
Normal dynamics between microbiota and dendritic cells (DCs) support modest numbers of T cells, yet these do not cause inflammation. The DCs that induce inflammatory T cells and the signals that drive this process remain ...
Purinergic Signaling as a Regulator of Th17 Cell Plasticity
(Public Library Science, 2016)
T helper type 17 (Th17) lymphocytes, characterized by the production of interleukin-17 and other pro-inflammatory cytokines, are present in intestinal lamina propria and have been described as important players driving ...
Exploring the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiallergic potential of Brazilian propolis in monocytes
(2022-05-01)
Background: Propolis is a bee product used since ancient times due to its diverse biological applications. We aimed to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of Brazilian propolis in THP-1 cells stimulated ...
A novel biological activity for galectin-1: Inhibition of leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in experimental inflammation
(2003-10-01)
Galectin-1 (Gal-1), the prototype of a family of β -galactoside-binding proteins, has been shown to attenuate experimental acute and chronic inflammation. In view of the fact that endothelial cells (ECs), but not human ...
