Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence on O2- generation by xanthine oxidase of pathogenesis of influenza virus infection in mice.
TL;DR: Results indicate that generation of oxygen-free radicals by XO, coupled with catabolic supply of hypoxanthine from adenosine catabolism, is a pathogenic principle in influenza virus infection in mice and that a therapeutic approach by elimination of oxygen radicals thus seems possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic effect of erythromycin on influenza virus-induced lung injury in mice
Keizo Sato,Moritaka Suga,Takaaki Akaike,Shigemoto Fujii,Hiroyuki Muranaka,T Doi,Hiroshi Maeda,Masayuki Ando +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that EM may have substantial therapeutic value for various acute inflammatory disorders such as influenza-virus-induced pneumonia, by inhibiting inflammatory-cell responses and suppressing NO overproduction in the lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to nitric oxide in Mycobacterium avium complex and its implication in pathogenesis.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the intracellular growth of MAC is not always inhibited by NO generated by immunologically activated M phi; rather, NO generation induced by infection with an NO-resistant MAC strain suppresses phagocytosis of the Mphi, which may allow extracellular spreading of such NO- resistant mycobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pronounced enhancement of .NO-dependent antimicrobial action by an .NO-oxidizing agent, imidazolineoxyl N-oxide.
K Yoshida,Takaaki Akaike,T Doi,Keizo Sato,Sumiko Ijiri,Moritaka Suga,Masayuki Ando,Hiroshi Maeda +7 more
TL;DR: The antimicrobial action of .NO against Cryptococcus neoformans was investigated by using imidazolineoxyl N-oxide, which recently reported removes .NO via oxidation, providing convincing evidence that .NO is not a microbicidal molecular species.
Journal Article
Intracellular killing mechanisms of alveolar macrophages against Mycobacterium avium complex
TL;DR: To clarify the intracellular killing mechanisms of alveolar macrophages against Mycobacterium avium complex, effects of cytokines on O2- and NO2- production from normal and BCG-inducedAlveolar Macrophages were studied.
