IL-13 induces disease-promoting type 2 cytokines, alternatively activated macrophages and allergic inflammation during pulmonary infection of mice with Cryptococcus neoformans.

TL;DR: IL-13 contributes to fatal allergic inflammation during C. neoformans infection and was found to induce formation of alternatively activated macrophages expressing arginase-1, macrophage mannose receptor (CD206), and YM1, which led to lung eosinophilia, goblet cell metaplasia and elevated mucus production, and enhanced airway hyperreactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heme oxygenase-1 is a cGMP-inducible endothelial protein and mediates the cytoprotective action of nitric oxide.

TL;DR: The results show for the first time that HO-1 is a cGMP-sensitive endothelial gene and establish conclusively a causal relationship betweenHO-1 induction and endothelial protection by the NO/cGMP system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspirin protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress – possible synergism with vitamin E

TL;DR: Results show that aspirin protects endothelial cells from oxidative stress possibly via binding or chelation of free cytosolic iron, and a combination of aspirin and vitamin E might be useful for the prevention of endothelial injury in cardiovascular disease, e.g. during atherogenesis.
