Journal Article
Role of cytokines as a double-edged sword in sepsis.
Hina Chaudhry,Juhua Zhou,Juhua Zhou,Yin Zhong,Mir Mustafa Ali,Franklin R. McGuire,Prakash S. Nagarkatti,Mitzi Nagarkatti +7 more
TL;DR: A decrease in IL-6 was associated with a better prognosis and overproduction of IL-10 was found to be the main predictor of severity and fatal outcome, indicating pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines constitute a double-edged sword in sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression, Regulation and Function of MicroRNAs in Multiple Sclerosis
Xinting Ma,Juhua Zhou,Yin Zhong,Linlin Jiang,Ping Mu,Yanmin Li,Narendra P. Singh,Mitzi Nagarkatti,Prakash S. Nagarkatti +8 more
TL;DR: Up-regulated miRNAs may be used as a signature for MS and play critical roles in MS pathogenesis and drugs such as interferon-β and glatiramer acetate for MS treatment may regulate miRNA expression and thus have benefits for MS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust antimicrobial compounds and polymers derived from natural resin acids
Jifu Wang,Jifu Wang,Yung Pin Chen,Kejian Yao,Perry A. Wilbon,Wujie Zhang,Lixia Ren,Juhua Zhou,Mitzi Nagarkatti,Chunpeng Wang,Fuxiang Chu,Xiaoming He,Alan W. Decho,Chuanbing Tang +13 more
TL;DR: Novel robust resin acid-derived antimicrobial agents that exhibit excellent antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of bacteria with selective lysis of microbial membranes over mammalian membranes are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dysregulation in microRNA expression is associated with alterations in immune functions in combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Juhua Zhou,Prakash S. Nagarkatti,Yin Zhong,Jay P. Ginsberg,Narendra P. Singh,Jiajia Zhang,Mitzi Nagarkatti +6 more
TL;DR: PTSD was associated with significant alterations in miRNAs, which may promote pro-inflammatory cytokine profile, and such epigenetic events may provide useful tools to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis, and facilitate therapy of PTSD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphipathic antibacterial agents using cationic methacrylic polymers with natural rosin as pendant group
Ying Chen,Ying Chen,Perry A. Wilbon,Yung Pin Chen,Juhua Zhou,Mitzi Nagarkatti,Chunpeng Wang,Fuxiang Chu,Alan W. Decho,Chuanbing Tang +9 more
TL;DR: PDMAEMA-g-rosin copolymers with the amphipathic structure exhibited effective antimicrobial activity against both E. coli and S. aureus and indicated that conformation of hydrophobic group (particularly steric hindrance) played a role in dictating antibacterial efficacy.
