Ultraviolet B radiation generated platelet-activating factor receptor agonist formation involves EGF-R-mediated reactive oxygen species.
Recent studies have implicated the lipid mediator platelet-activating factor (PAF) in UVB-mediated systemic immunosuppression known to be a major cause for skin cancers. Previously, our group has demonstrated that UVB irradiation triggers the production of PAF and oxidized glycerophosphocholines that act as PAF-receptor (PAF-R) agonists. The present studies explored the mechanisms by which UVB ...
متن کاملThe environmental stressor ultraviolet B radiation inhibits murine antitumor immunity through its ability to generate platelet-activating factor agonists.
Ubiquitous pro-oxidative stressor ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) to human or mouse skin generates platelet-activating factor (PAF) and novel oxidatively modified glycerophosphocholines (Ox-GPCs) with PAF-receptor (PAF-R) agonistic activity. These lipids mediate systemic immunosuppression in a process involving IL-10. The current studies sought to determine the functional significance of UVB-medi...

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which its main characteristic is an inflammation and demyelination and subsequent, neural degeneration. Many studies have shown that inflammation causing neuronal demyelination. MS is the most common cause of chronic neurological disability in during youth which the prognosis is that can be death. Platelet activating fact...
متن کاملSystemic Chemotherapy Is Modulated by Platelet-Activating Factor-Receptor Agonists
Chemotherapy is used to treat numerous cancers including melanoma. However, its effectiveness in clinical settings is often hampered by various mechanisms. Previous studies have demonstrated that prooxidative stressor-mediated generation of oxidized lipids with platelet-activating factor-receptor (PAF-R) agonistic activity induces systemic immunosuppression that augments the growth of experimen...
متن کاملEffects of the neutrophil-activating peptide NAP-2, platelet basic protein, connective tissue-activating peptide III and platelet factor 4 on human neutrophils
Platelet basic protein (PBP), connective tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III), and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) were purified from human platelet release supernatants by heparin-Sepharose ion-exchange and reversed-phase HPLC, and their neutrophil-activating effects were compared with those of NAP-2, a peptide of 70 amino acids corresponding to part of the sequence of PBP (1) and with sequence h...
