Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrotyrosine‐modified proteins and oxidative stress induced by diesel exhaust particles

TL;DR: It is shown that the induction of oxidative stress is accompanied by 53 newly expressed proteins which are suppressed by a thiol antioxidant, N‐acetylcysteine, and these include antioxidant enzymes, pro‐inflammatory components, and products of intermediary metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the Human RANTES Gene Promoter in a Macrophage Cell Line by Lipopolysaccharide Is Dependent on Stress-Activated Protein Kinases and the IκB Kinase Cascade: Implications for Exacerbation of Allergic Inflammation by Environmental Pollutants

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that transcriptional activation of the human RANTES promoter by LPS is dependent on specific AP-1 andNF-kappaB response elements, which are regulated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and NF- kappaB kinase cascades, respectively.
Journal Article

CD-3-mediated activation of MAP-2 kinase can be modified by ligation of the CD4 receptor. Evidence for tyrosine phosphorylation during activation of this kinase.

TL;DR: It is suggested that coaggregation of CD4 and CD3 with cross-linking antibodies and avidin may create the conditions whereby MAP-2K may be activated by dual phosphorylation, and that independent aggregation of these receptors may lead to physical separation and breakdown of this interactive mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian Cells Exhibit a Range of Sensitivities to Silver Nanoparticles that are Partially Explicable by Variations in Antioxidant Defense and Metallothionein Expression.

TL;DR: Differences in anti-oxidant defense and metallothionein expression among different cell types are observed, which can partially explain differential Ag NP sensitivity, and are important to consider in understanding the potential heterogeneous effects of nano Ag on mammalian biological systems.
