Induction of transforming growth factor-α in activated human alveolar macrophages

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activated human alveolar macrophages express the gene for transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) in an inducible manner and secrete a factor into the culture medium that is functionally and immunologically identical to TGF- α.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nrf2-dependent protection from LPS induced inflammatory response and mortality by CDDO-Imidazolide

TL;DR: The results suggest that Nrf2 is associated with oxidative regulation of LPS induced innate immune response in neutrophils and Activation of NRF2-dependent compensatory antioxidative pathways by CDDO-Im protects from L PS induced inflammatory response and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Inducible Pathway for Degradation of FLIP Protein Sensitizes Tumor Cells to TRAIL-induced Apoptosis *

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that a variety of natural and synthetic ligands of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) sensitize tumor but not normal cells to apoptosis induction by TRAIL, suggesting the existence of a pharmacologically regulated novel target of this class of drugs that controls FLIP protein turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retinoic acid induces transforming growth factor-beta 2 in cultured keratinocytes and mouse epidermis.

TL;DR: The regulation of TGF-beta 2 expression by retinoic acid may have important physiological and pharmacological roles in the maintenance of epidermal homeostasis.
