Abstract Macrophage plasticity and functional activation are critical to the broad array of macrophage-mediated functions that help determine disease outcomes. galactose-type lectin (MGL), a type-2 C-type receptor (CLR) primarily expressed on myeloid cells, has been shown play an anti-inflammatory role in innate response some infectious agents. Our lab recently demonstrated MGL-1 contributes an...

OBJECTIVES To explore the use of 99technetiumm-hexamethyl propylene amine oxime single photon computed tomography (HMPAO-SPECT) of the brain as a means of detecting nervous tissue damage in divers and to determine if there is any correlation between brain image and a diver's history of diving or decompression illness (DCI). METHODS 28 commercial divers with a history of DCI, 26 divers with no...

Although sialic acid has long been recognized as the primary receptor determinant for attachment of influenza virus to host cells, the specific receptor molecules that mediate viral entry are not known for any cell type. For the infection of murine macrophages by influenza virus, our earlier study indicated involvement of a C-type lectin, the macrophage mannose receptor (MMR), in this process. ...

The body maintains Mg(2+) homeostasis by renal and intestinal (re)absorption. However, the molecular mechanisms that mediate transepithelial Mg(2+) transport are largely unknown. Transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6) was recently identified and shown to function in active epithelial Mg(2+) transport in intestine and kidney. To define the relationship between Mg(2+) status and TRPM6 ...

The endogenous cannabinoids anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamide, AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) are upregulated during liver fibrogenesis and selectively induce cell death in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the major fibrogenic cells in the liver, but not in hepatocytes. In contrast to HSCs, hepatocytes highly express the AEA-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) that pr...

An improved understanding of the endocannabinoid system has provided new avenues of drug discovery and development toward the management of pain and other behavioral maladies. Exogenous cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor agonists such as Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol are increasingly used for their medicinal actions; however, their utility is constrained by concern regarding abuse-related subjective e...

Erymet is a new therapy resulting from the encapsulation of a methionine gamma-lyase (MGL; EC number 4.4.1.11) in red blood cells (RBC). The aim of this study was to evaluate erymet potential efficacy in methionine (Met)-dependent cancers. We produced a highly purified MGL using a cGMP process, determined the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) properties of erymet in mice, and assessed i...
