Effect of tumour necrosis factor-alpha on estrogen metabolic pathways in breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been linked to breast cancer development. Estrogen metabolic pathway is also involved in breast carcinogenesis and DNA adducts formation. In this study we investigated the effect of TNF-α on the estrogen metabolic pathway in

ROS-driven and preferential killing of HepG2 over L-02 cells by a short-term cooperation of Cu(II) and a catechol-type resveratrol analog.

This study was aimed at understanding why dietary polyphenols with a catechol skeleton tend to exhibit cancer chemopreventive activity by using a catechol-type stilbene (3,4-DHS) as a model molecule. Only a short-term cooperation of 3,4-DHS and exogenous Cu(II) exhibited a strong preferential

4-(Hydroxymethyl)catechol Extracted From Fungi in Marine Sponges Attenuates Rheumatoid Arthritis by Inhibiting PI3K/Akt/NF-κB Signaling.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive autoimmune disease specific to synovial joints; it causes joint damage and other systemic abnormalities, thereby leading to physical disability and early mortality. Marine sponge-derived fungi, Pestalotiopsis sp., secrete immunosuppressive compounds in the

Characterization of NF-kB-mediated inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase.

BACKGROUND Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme that metabolizes catecholamines, has recently been implicated in the modulation of pain. Specifically, low COMT activity is associated with heightened pain perception and development of musculoskeletal pain in humans as well as increased

Oxidation of N-methyl(R)salsolinol: involvement to neurotoxicity and neuroprotection by endogenous catechol isoquinolines.

1(R), 2(N)-Dimethyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, N-methyl(R)salsolinol, is a potent dopaminergic neurotoxin to induce parkinsonism in rats. The cytotoxicity of N-methyl(R)salsolinol proved to be ascribed to its oxidation into cytotoxic 1,2-dimethyl-6,7-dihydroxyisoquinolinium ion

Regulation of catechol-O-methyltransferase expression in human myometrial cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The catechol-O-methyltransferase enzyme catalyzes the methylation of the catechol estrogens, 2- or 4-hydroxyestrogen, to 2- or 4-methoxyestrogen. Both the hydroxy estrogens and methoxy estrogens were shown to modulate the effects of estrogen. Because catechol-O-methyltransferase activity

DNA integrity of onion root cells under catechol influence.

Only registered users can translate articles

Catechol is a highly toxic organic pollutant, usually abundant in the waste effluents of industrial processes and agricultural activities. The environmental sources of catechol include pesticides, wood preservatives, tanning lotion, cosmetic creams, dyes, and synthetic intermediates. Genotoxicity of

Inhibition of NF-kappa B transcription factor by catechol derivatives.

Only registered users can translate articles

Therapeutic agents which target NF-kappa B transcription factor may be useful in the management of AIDS, cancer and inflammation. Since oxidative stress has been implicated in the signaling pathway, the use of antioxidants to inhibit NF-kappa B activation has gained attention. In the present study,

Anti-inflammatory effects of catechols in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglia cells: inhibition of microglial neurotoxicity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Microglial activation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases by producing various proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide (NO). In the present study, the anti-inflammatory and subsequent neuroprotective effects of catechol and its derivatives including

The catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors tolcapone and entacapone uncouple and inhibit the mitochondrial respiratory chain in HepaRG cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor tolcapone causes hepatotoxicity and mitochondrial damage in animal models. We studied the interaction of tolcapone with mitochondrial respiration in comparison to entacapone in different experimental models. In HepaRG cells (human cell-line), tolcapone

Anti-inflammatory activity of iridoid and catechol derivatives from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neuroinflammation and pro-inflammatory mediators play key roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including stroke, which account for a significant burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recently, the unsatisfactory pharmacotherapy and side effects of the drugs led to the

Effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha on estrogen metabolism and endometrial cells: potential physiological and pathological relevance.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Estrogen and its metabolites play a critical role in the pathophysiology of the endometrium. The bioavailability of estrogen and estrogen metabolites in endometrial tissues depends on the expression of enzymes involved in estrogen biosynthesis and metabolism. Substantial evidence

Induction of apoptosis by benzene metabolites in HL60 and CD34+ human bone marrow progenitor cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Two cell types, HL60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and CD34+ human bone marrow progenitor cells, were used as model systems to explore a possible role for apoptosis in the myelotoxicity of the phenolic metabolites of benzene. HL60 cells were treated with either phenol, catechol, hydroquinone,

Characterization of glutathione conjugates of the remoxipride hydroquinone metabolite NCQ-344 formed in vitro and detection following oxidation by human neutrophils.

Only registered users can translate articles

Remoxipride is an atypical antipsychotic displaying selective binding to the dopamine D2 receptor. Several cases of aplastic anemia led to the withdrawal of remoxipride from the market in December 1993. The remoxipride metabolite NCQ-344 is a hydroquinone while the structural isomer NCQ-436 is a

A targeted multiplexed proteomic investigation identifies ketamine-induced changes in immune markers in rat serum and expression changes in protein kinases/phosphatases in rat brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

There is substantial interest in the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine in psychiatric research because it exerts acute psychotomimetic and rapid antidepressant effects in rodents and humans. Here, we investigated proteomic changes in brain and serum after acute treatment of
