In conclusion, the results demonstrated that forsythoside B protects against LPS-induced ALI by attenuating inflammatory cell infiltration and suppressing TLR4/NF-κB-mediated lung inflammation.
Apremilast administration reduced lung inflammation in terms of reduction in myeloperoxidase activity and levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and alveolar infiltrating cells.
<b>Objectives:</b> To test the hypothesis that during acute lung inflammation tissue production of proresolution type 2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13) dampens the proinflammatory effects of hypoxia through suppression of HIF-1α (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α)-mediated neutrophil adaptation, resulting in resolution of lung injury.
Monotherapy of IL-17A mAb partially attenuated lung inflammation in OVA-challenged and ozone-exposed mice, while the combination treatment of Dex and IL-17A mAb effectively reduced lung inflammation, inactivated p38 MAPK and up regulated GR in lung tissue.
IL-17A is a critical proinflammatory cytokine for the pathogenesis of asthma including neutrophilic pulmonary inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness.
Real-time quantitative PCR was used to analyze mRNA of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). hADSC treatment increased survival rate of septic mice with MV. hADSCs attenuated dysfunction of the liver and kidney and decreased lung inflammation and tissue injury of the liver and lung.
In vivo studies revealed that the indicators of pulmonary inflammation (pathology, inflammatory cell numbers) and related cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-33) mRNA expressions in CD11c-Map3k7<sup>-/-</sup> animals were significantly lower than wild-type animals after mice were instilled particles.
Schaftoside, a natural flavonoid compound and a promising treatment for inflammation, has demonstrated potency against LPS-induced lung inflammation in mice; however, its action on TLR4-induced neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dynamics in microglia is still unknown.
Finally, we established that, in HBE cells, andrographolide reversed the CSE-induced EMT via decreasing IL-6 levels and, in an animal model, prevented CS-induced lung inflammation and small airway remodeling, indicating that it has potential clinical application for CS-induced pulmonary dysfunction and COPD.
Induction of I/R led to lung edema, elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, histological evidence of lung inflammation, oxidative stress, and increased levels of TNF-α and CINC-1 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
In this study, we investigated whether picroside II is effective in treating steroid refractory lung inflammation via the inhibition of the SAA-IL-33 axis.
Diffuse alveolar damage score and gene expression of markers associated with lung inflammation (interleukin-6), alveolar-stretch (amphiregulin), epithelial cell damage (club cell protein 16), and fibrogenesis (metalloproteinase-9 and type III procollagen), as well as diaphragm inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-α) and proteolysis (muscle RING-finger-1) were comparable between groups.
Systemic release of high mobility group box 1, a TLR4 agonist, during the pneumonitis phase of the radiation response may act through TLR4 to contribute to fibroblast apoptosis resistance and thus interfere with wound resolution.
In this work, a new, highly sensitive lab on a chip (LOC) immunoassay has been designed, developed, and characterized for tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), a protein biomarker that causes lung inflammation due to RCS exposure.
Genetic ablation of Il-17c resulted in a decreased recruitment of inflammatory cells into the tumor microenvironment, a decreased expression of tumor-promoting cytokines (e.g. interleukin-6 (IL-6)), and a reduced tumor proliferation in the presence of Haemophilus influenzae- (NTHi) induced COPD-like lung inflammation.
