Induction of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 by Helicobacter pylori Involves NF-κB

Induction of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 by Helicobacter pylori involves NF-kappaB.

Helicobacter pylori stimulates secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) from gastric epithelial cells. Secretion of this chemokine may be instrumental in monocyte infiltration of the gastric epithelium that characterizes H. pylori gastritis. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanism by which H. pylori induces MCP-1 production. Induction of MCP-1 mRNA was assessed by rev...

Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Synthesis

Homocysteine induces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression by activating NF-kappaB in THP-1 macrophages.

Homocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. The recruitment of monocytes is an important event in atherogenesis. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a potent chemokine that stimulates monocyte migration into the intima of arterial walls. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of homocysteine on MCP-1 expression in macrophages a...

Serum Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Correlate with Poor Clinical Grades in Cerebral Aneurysms

Background : Ruptured cerebral aneurysms (ICAs) are the most common non-traumatic cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that is associated with life threatening complications such as Vasospasm, Infarction, and Hydrocephalus (HCP). The active participation of macrophage/monocyte-mediated inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm as labeled with Monocyte ChemoattractantProte...
