Human alveolar epithelial type II cells in primary culture
Alveolar epithelial type II (AEII) cells are a key structure and defender in the lung but also are the targets in many lung diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, ventilator-induced lung injury, and pulmonary fibrosis. We sought to establish an optimized method for high yielding and long maintenance of characteristics of primary human AEII cells to facilitate the investigation...
متن کاملNuclear factor-κB1 expression levels in human gastric adenocarcinoma
NF-κB pathway is a link between inflammation and cancer and is involved in cellular responses to different stimuli. Gastrointestinal lumen is exposed to many inflammatory agents such as foods, free radicals and bacterial or viral antigens. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible role of NF-κB1in gastric adenocarcinoma. To detect the relative level of NF-κB1transcript, total RN...
متن کاملMetabolism of 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in primary cultures of rat alveolar type II cells.
The tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) induces primarily lung tumors, which are assumed to derive from malignant transformation of alveolar type II (AII) cells within the lung. To elicit its carcinogenic effects, NNK requires metabolic activation by cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-mediated alpha-hydroxylation. Therefore, in this study the metabolism of NNK ...
متن کاملModulation of Lipopolysaccharide Stimulated Nuclear Factor kappa B Mediated iNOS/NO Production by Bromelain in Rat Primary Microglial Cells
Background: Microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .They are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. When over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Thi...
متن کاملDJ-1 promotes the proteasomal degradation of Fis1: implications of DJ-1 in neuronal protection.
Mutations in DJ-1/PARK7 (Parkinson protein 7) have been identified as a cause of autosomal-recessive PD (Parkinson's disease) and the antioxidant property of DJ-1 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function and neuronal cell survival. In the present study, we first found that the DJ-1 transgene mitigated MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-induced D...
