Journal ArticleDOI

Differential expression and regulation of protease-activated receptors in human peripheral monocytes and monocyte-derived antigen-presenting cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that differentiation of human monocytes is associated with differential expression of functionally active PARs that mediate distinct regulatory functions in inflammation and atherogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino-Functionalized Polystyrene Nanoparticles Activate the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Human Macrophages

TL;DR: The molecular mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by amino-functionalized nanoparticles is revealed and a strategy as to how such adverse effects could be antagonized is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

PKM2 promotes tumor angiogenesis by regulating HIF-1α through NF-κB activation.

TL;DR: This study suggests that in hypoxic pancreatic tumors PKM2 interferes both with NF-κB/p65 and HIF-1α activation that ultimately triggers VEGF-A secretion and subsequent blood vessel formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skin Levels of Arachidonic Acid-Derived Inflammatory Mediators and Histamine in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

TL;DR: The elevated levels of the potent proinflammatory and immunomodulating mediator LTB4 could be involved in the pathogenesis of cutaneous inflammation in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis and might explain the therapeutic efficiency of glucocorticosteroids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetyl-boswellic acids are novel catalytic inhibitors of human topoisomerases I and IIalpha.

TL;DR: This work proposes that acetyl-BA inhibit topoisomerases I and IIalpha through competition with DNA for binding to the enzyme, and demonstrates that these compounds are a unique class of dual catalytic inhibitors of human topoisomersases I or IIalpha.
