The reverse transsulfuration pathway is the major route for the metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. The role of this metabolic pathway in macrophage response and function is unknown. We show that the enzyme cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) is induced in macrophages infected with pathogenic ba...

Inflammation is thought to be a key cause of many chronic diseases and cancer. However, current therapeutic agents to control inflammation have limited long-term use potential due to various side-effects. This study aimed to examine norbergenin, a constituent of traditional anti-inflammatory reci...

OGT suppresses macrophage proinflammatory activation
Shiga toxins (Stxs) are bacterial cytotoxins produced by the enteric pathogens Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and some serotypes of Escherichia coli that cause bacillary dysentery and hemorrhagic colitis, respectively. To date, approaches to studying the capacity of Stxs to alter gene expression in...

Purpose: Investigate effects of high salt on human macrophage activation Methods: Human monocytes-derived macrophages were treated by additional 51mM NaCl for 24 hours (NaCl groups) or not (Control groups). mRNA profiles were generated by RNA-Seq, in triplicate, using Ion proton(Life tech). qRT–PCR ...

Francisella are pathogenic bacteria whose virulence is linked to their ability to replicate within the host cell cytosol. Entry into the macrophage cytosol activates a host protective multimolecular complex called the inflammasome to release the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-18 and trigger c...

Macrophages are major effector cells and antigen presenting cells of the innate immune system and classical activation of macrophage function requires interferon–γ (IFN-γ) pretreatment (priming) and TLR stimuli, which promotes inflammatory responses though high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines a...

The mechanisms by which macrophage metabolism is regulated and the effects of metabolism on diseases remain largely unknown. We show here that TGF-β regulates the glycolysis of macrophages independently of inflammatory cytokine production, and thus affects the survival in experimental sepsis. Spe...

Macrophage-mediated inflammation is a major contributor to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The corepressor NCoR interacts with inflammatory pathway genes in macrophages, suggesting that its removal would result in increased activity of inflammatory responses. Surprisingly, we find that macrop...

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Lesion progression is primarily mediated by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Interleukin-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which modulates immune cell trafficking and is involved inflammation in (auto)immune and infectious diseases. But t...
