Background. Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPBS) is associated with an increased risk for infections or with subsequent organ dysfunction. As T cell activation is a central mechanism during inflammatory processes, we developed an assay to evaluate T cell activation pathways in patients undergoing CPBS. Methods. Blood was obtained from eleven patients undergoing CPBS preoperatively, on postoper...
The role of calcium in the control of respiration by the mitogen concanavalin A (ConA) was investigated in rat thymocytes. ConA induced an increase in both mitochondrial respiration and the mitochondrial calcium pool. The stimulation of respiration was shown to be independent of the increase in mitochondrial calcium: the calcium pool declined after 3 min, whereas the respiration increase was pe...
A novel approach was used to assess the role of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the mitogenic action of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or concanavalin A (ConA). The treatment of human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) with monospecific antibodies against phospholipase C (PLC) produced a dose-dependent inhibition (up to 100%) of PHA (10 micrograms/ml) or ConA (25 micrograms/ml) proliferative effects. T...
A biospecific lectin-affinity-based isolation process for a novel glycoprotein (ClGp1) from the venom of the pelagic jellyfish Cyanea lamarckii, is described and the isolated glycoprotein is chemically and biologically characterized according to size, molecular interaction and toxicity. The molecular mass of the isolated protein is 25.7 kDa as determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ioni...
BACKGROUND A novel in vitro system was employed to investigate liver tissue respiration (mitochondrial O2 consumption) in mice treated with concanavalin A (Con A). This study aimed to investigate hepatocyte bioenergetics in this well-studied hepatitis model. METHODS C57Bl/6 and C57Bl/6 IFN-γ-/- mice were injected intravenously with 12 mg ConA/kg. Liver specimens were collected at various time...
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes AIDS-like symptoms in infected cats. Concanavalin A (ConA)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from chronically FIV strain PPR-infected cats readily expressed FIV. In contrast, when PBMC from these animals were stimulated with irradiated, autologous antigen-presenting cells (APC), at least a 10-fold drop in viral production was observe...
The aim of the this study was to evaluate the effects of cloricrome, a new coumarin derivative, on dry eye model. Lacrimal gland inflammation-induced dry eye was performed by Concanavalin A (ConA) injection in rabbit, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), TNFα, IL-1β and IL-8 were evaluated. Tear film integrity was investigated by measuring tear volume and tear breakup time. Elevated levels o...
Due to the biological significance of the carbohydrate component of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) glycoproteins in viral pathogenesis, the glycosylation step constitutes an attractive target for anti-HIV therapy. Cyanovirin N (CV-N), which specifically targets the high-mannose (HM) glycans on gp120, has been identified as a potent HIV-1 entry inhibitor. Concanavalin A (ConA) r...
BACKGROUND Concanavalin A (ConA)-induced hepatitis is an experimental murine model mirroring the pathology of human autoimmune hepatitis. AIM To investigate the effects of intrasplenically transplanted fetal hepatocytes (BNL.CL2) transfected with recombinant adenovirus vector expressing the IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) and IL-4 fusion protein on ConA-induced hepatitis in mice. METHODS Ad...
The aims of this study were to elucidate the immunomodulatory effects of glycyrrhizin (GL) on CD4(+)T cell responses during liver fibrogenesis. To obtain in vivo evidence about the effects of GL on CD4(+)T cells in livers and spleens of concanavalin A (ConA)-induced mouse model, mice were administrated with ConA together with or without GL for 8 weeks. Mice treated with GL dramatically prevente...
