Immunohistochemical detection of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in granulomas in cattle with natural Mycobacterium bovis infection
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
Cellular immune response was evaluated in lymph nodes and lung with different granulomatous lesions from cattle naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis. For this purpose, we assessed pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory ...
Germ cell apoptosis and survival in testicular inflammation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-12)
Male infertility is due to genetics, hormonal or environmental causes, or is idiopathic. Azoospermia is linked to local testicular microenvironment deregulation, with inflammatory cells present in the 15% of testicular ...
Volcanic ash from Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex and Calbuco promote a differential response of pro-inflammatory and oxidative stress mediators on human conjunctival epithelial cells
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Volcanic ash could pose a hazard to the ocular surface as it is constantly exposed to environmental particles. We exposed conjunctival cells to Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex (PCCVC) or Calbuco ash particles and ...
Characteristic pro-inflammatory cytokines and host defence cathelicidin peptide produced by human monocyte-derived macrophages infected with Neospora caninum
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06)
Neospora caninum is a coccidian intracellular protozoan capable of infecting a wide range of mammals, although severe disease is mostly reported in dogs and cattle. Innate defences triggered by monocytes/macrophages are ...
Pro-inflammatory cytokines enhance dilatation of bile canaliculi caused by cholestatic antibiotics
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-08)
Many drugs can induce liver injury, characterized by hepatocellular, cholestatic or mixed hepatocellular-cholestatic lesions. While an inflammatory stress is known to aggravate hepatocellular injury caused by some drugs ...
The neurotoxic effect of cuprizone on oligodendrocytes depends on the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by microglia
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2007-12)
In order to further characterize the still unknown mechanism of cuprizone-induced demyelination, we investigated its effect on rat primary oligodendroglial cell cultures. Cell viability was not significantly affected by ...
Sex-dependent effects of a yoghurt enriched with proteins in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Using a mouse model of diet-induced obesity in males and females C57BL/6 mice, effects of a yoghurt enriched with proteins on pro-inflammatory cytokine and lipid profiles were assessed. A clear sex-dependent behaviour of ...
The implication of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the impaired production of gonadal androgens by patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
(Churchill Livingstone, 2015-12)
Background: The chronic nature of tuberculosis and the protracted immuno-inflammatory reactions are implied in a series of metabolic and immune-endocrine changes accompanying the disease. We explored components from the ...
Short-Term Fever-Range Hyperthermia Accelerates NETosis and Reduces Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Secretion by Human Neutrophils
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-10)
Fever is a hallmark of infections and inflammatory diseases, represented by an increase of 1–4°C in core body temperature. Fever-range hyperthermia (FRH) has been shown to increase neutrophil recruitment to local sites of ...
Lipoproteins, not lipopolysaccharide, are the key mediators of the pro-inflammatory response elicited by heat-killed Brucella abortus.
(American Association of Immunologists, 2004-12)
Inflammation is a hallmark of brucellosis. Although Brucella abortus, one of the disease?s etiologic agents, possesses cytokine-stimulatory properties, the mechanism by which this bacterium triggers a proinflammatory ...
