Metallothionein as an Anti-Inflammatory Mediator
The integration of knowledge concerning the regulation of MT, a highly conserved, low molecular weight, cystein-rich metalloprotein, on its proposed functions is necessary to clarify how MT affects cellular processes. MT expression is induced/enhanced in various tissues by a number of physiological mediators. The cellular accumulation of MT depends on the availability of cellular zinc derived f...
متن کاملComments to Metallothionein as an Anti-Inflammatory Mediator
Dear Editor, This paper introduces MTs as metalloproteins and their role in various inflammatory diseases. In the conclusion section, the authors state that MT-induction/enhancement and/or zinc supplementation to induce/enhance MT might be possible therapeutic options for inflammatory diseases [1]. To be an appropriate therapy on the level of genetics or molecule, the option should be well medi...
متن کاملA role for lipoxin A4 as an anti-inflammatory mediator in the human endometrium
Lipoxin A(4) is a lipid mediator that elicits anti-inflammatory and pro-resolution actions via its receptor, formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2/ALX). In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression and potential role of lipoxin A(4) and FPR2/ALX in the regulation of inflammation associated with cyclical remodeling of the human endometrium across the menstrual cycle and during early pregnancy...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA as an inflammatory mediator in cardiovascular diseases
Mitochondria play a central role in multiple cellular functions, including energy production, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. Currently, growing evidence indicates the vital roles of mitochondria in triggering and maintaining inflammation. Chronic inflammation without microbial infection - termed sterile inflammation - is strongly involved in the development of heart failure. Sterile infla...
متن کاملP 101: Ginger and Honey Mixture as an Anti-Inflammatory Drug in Neuroinflammation:Alzheimer Disease
Nowadays, many people prefer to use herbal remedies instead of chemical treatments, because of a fewer side effects. It seems that herbal drugs can be useful to neuroinflammation diseases like Alzheimer. Alzheimer Disease (AD) is caused by the oxidative stress and inflammatory compounds such as cytokine and beta-amyloid. It causes learning problems due to damage in cells in the hippocampus area...
