Anti-Inflammatory Preconditioning by Agonists of Adenosine A1 Receptor
BACKGROUND Adenosine levels rise during inflammation and modulate inflammatory responses by engaging with four different G protein-coupled receptors. It is suggested that adenosine exhibits pro-inflammatory effects through its A(1) receptor (A(1)R), and anti-inflammatory effects through A(2A) receptor (A(2A)R). Therefore, understanding of the mechanisms that govern adenosine receptor regulation...
متن کاملAmorfrutins Are Natural PPARγ Agonists with Potent Anti-inflammatory Properties.
Amorfrutins are isoprenoid-substituted benzoic acid derivatives, which were found in Amorpha fruticosa L. (bastard indigo) and in Glycyrrhiza foetida Desf. (licorice). Recently, amorfrutins were shown to be selective activators of the nuclear receptor PPARγ. Here, we investigated the effects and PPARγ-based mechanisms of reducing inflammation in colon cells by treatment with amorfrutins. In TNF...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory activity of beta2-agonists in primary lung epithelial cells is independent of glucocorticoid receptor.
In patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the addition of long-acting beta(2)-agonists (LABA) to glucocorticosteroids (GCS) results in better control than increasing the dose of GCS alone. In smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, one apparent underlying mechanism involves the ability of LABAs to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The present study investigates th...
متن کاملThe unexpected science of estrogen receptor-β selective agonists: a new class of anti-inflammatory agents?
In the nine years since the unexpected discovery of a second form of the estrogen receptor (ER), ERbeta has been mentioned in about 2,800 literature citations. Such prolific research is testimony to interest in explaining its role in estrogen physiology as well as investigating its potential as a drug target. Our current understanding is that ERalpha, not ERbeta is responsible for mediating the...
متن کاملAnti-Nociceptive and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Araucaria bidwillii Hook
The effect of alcoholic extracts of leaf from Araucaria bidwillii Hook. [ABH] (Family: Araucariaceae) was evaluated in experimental models of pain and inflammation. Oral administration of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of leaf extracts of ABH were used for the above study. The leaf extract at 300 and 200 mg/kg showed significant reduction in acetic acid induced writhings in mice with a maximum effect o...
