Journal ArticleDOI
Avenanthramides, polyphenols from oats, exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-itch activity.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that avenanthramides are potent anti-inflammatory agents that appear to mediate the anti-irritant effects of oats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hsp27 Regulates Pro-Inflammatory Mediator Release in Keratinocytes by Modulating NF-κB Signaling
TL;DR: Downregulation of HSp27 using Hsp27-specific small interfering RNA increased prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in both unstimulated and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-stimulated keratinocytes and resulted in induction of NF-kappaB reporter activity in Keratinocytes, indicating a protective role in regulating inflammatory responses in skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of cyclooxygenase-2 by heat shock protein 60 in macrophages and endothelial cells.
Blase Billack,Diane E. Heck,Thomas M. Mariano,Carol R. Gardner,Runa Sur,Debra L. Laskin,Jeffrey D. Laskin +6 more
TL;DR: HSP60 is an effective inducer of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in macrophages, as well as endothelial cells and Mobility shift assays revealed that NF-kappaB and CRE binding activity was induced, while CCAAT/enhancer binding protein, which binds to NF-IL-6, was constitutively active in the cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affected energy metabolism under manganese stress governs cellular toxicity.
Gursharan Kaur,Gursharan Kaur,Vineet Kumar,Amit Arora,Ajay Tomar,Ashish,Runa Sur,Dipak Kumar Dutta +7 more
TL;DR: Combining microarray, proteomics, and biochemical analyses, it is shown that the chronic manganese exposure rewires diverse regulatory and metabolic pathways and hypothesize that affected energy metabolism is the primal cause of manganes toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat‐killed Propionibacterium acnes is capable of inducing inflammatory responses in skin
TL;DR: Killed P. acnes is capable of inducing inflammation in skin suggesting that therapies that have both bactericidal and anti‐inflammatory effects may result in a more effective treatment of patients with acne than treatments that are bactericidal alone.
