Journal ArticleDOI

MAPKAP kinase 2 is essential for LPS-induced TNF-alpha biosynthesis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MK2 is an essential component in the inflammatory response which regulates biosynthesis of TNF-α at a post-transcriptional level.
Journal ArticleDOI

MK2 targets AU-rich elements and regulates biosynthesis of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6 independently at different post-transcriptional levels.

TL;DR: The data provide in vivo evidence that the AU-rich 3′-UTRs of TNF and IL-6 are downstream to MK2 signaling and make MK2 an essential component of mechanisms that regulate biosynthesis of IL- 6 at the levels of mRNA stability, and of T NF mainly through TNF-ARE-dependent translational control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Splenopentin (DAc-SP-5) accelerates the restoration of myelopoietic and immune systems after sublethal radiation in mice

TL;DR: DAc-SP-5 treated mice showed in the first weeks postexposure a significantly higher number of bone marrow derived cells as well as granulocyte-macrophage and macrophage colony-forming cells and may be a useful substance for treating secondary forms ofBone marrow depression.

Acylated splenopentins, methods for their synthesis and their use

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed new compounds of acylated splenopentins of Formula I R.sup.4 I wherein R 1, R 2, R 3, R 4 are as defined in the specification, methods for their synthesis by acylation of splenopsentins, as well as their use as pharmacologically active peptides which are suitable for normalizing the function of the immunological system in primary and secondary immunological deficiencies.
