Sustained mitogenic effect on K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells by dietary lectin, jacalin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dietary lectins have been shown to affect the proliferation of human cancer cell lines. The anti-proliferative effects of lectins from varied sources have been extensively studied and in some cases, the underlying mechanism has been explored. Except for peanut agglutinin (PNA), the mitogenic effects

Purification and primary structure of a mannose/glucose-binding lectin from Parkia biglobosa Jacq. seeds with antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties.

Only registered users can translate articles

Parkia biglobosa (subfamily Mimosoideae), a typical tree from African savannas, possess a seed lectin that was purified by combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography on a Sephadex G-100 column. The P. biglobosa lectin (PBL) strongly agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes, an

Jacalin-Activated Macrophages Exhibit an Antitumor Phenotype.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have an ambiguous and complex role in the carcinogenic process, since these cells can be polarized into different phenotypes (proinflammatory, antitumor cells or anti-inflammatory, protumor cells) by the tumor microenvironment. Given that the interactions between

Enzymatically deglycosylated human IgA1 molecules accumulate and induce inflammatory cell reaction in rat glomeruli.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Previously, we have been able to isolate IgA1 from IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients, that could accumulate in rat glomeruli (glomerulophilic IgA1). The 'glomerulophilic IgA1' was determined to be under-O-glycosylated in its hinge region, suggesting that under-O-glycosylation in the IgA1

Antibodies to pyruvate dehydrogenase in primary biliary cirrhosis: correlation with histology.

Only registered users can translate articles

Antimitochondrial antibodies to pyruvate dehydrogenase are the hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis. Their pathogenic role has not been proven, although antibodies to pyruvate dehydrogenase are bound to biliary epithelium. The aim of this study was to characterize serum IgA antibodies to pyruvate

Rapid isolation of homogeneous murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophils by differential lectin affinity interaction and negative selection.

Only registered users can translate articles

Murine models have advanced our understanding of the immune regulation of eosinophilic inflammation but there are few methods for the reliable isolation of viable populations of eosinophils from the inflamed lung. Here we describe a method to isolate murine eosinophils in high yield and purity from

Proteomic identification of host and parasite biomarkers in saliva from patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Malaria cases attributed to Plasmodium falciparum account for approximately 600,000 deaths yearly, mainly in African children. The gold standard method to diagnose malaria requires the visualization of the parasite in blood. The role of non-invasive diagnostic methods to diagnose malaria

LC-MS/MS Identification of a Bromelain Peptide Biomarker from Ananas comosus Merr.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bromelain (Br) is a cysteine peptidase (GenBank AEH26024.1) from pineapple, with over 40 years of clinical use. The constituents mediating its anti-inflammatory activity are not thoroughly characterized and no peptide biomarker exists. Our objective is to characterize Br raw material and identify

Acquired and congenital ocular toxoplasmosis experimentally induced in Calomys callosus (Rodentia, Cricetidae).

Only registered users can translate articles

An experimental model for acquired and congenital ocular toxoplasmosis as well as a model to induce experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) was investigated in Calomys callosus. Toxoplasma gondii, ME-49 strain, was used to infect males and pregnant- and not pregnant-females while S-antigen, a major

O-glycosylation of α-1-acid glycoprotein of human milk is lactation stage related.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Human milk provides a multitude of glycoproteins, including highly glycosylated α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), which elicits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The milk AGP glycoforms may provide the breastfed infant with a wide range of biological benefits. Here, we

Neuroinflammation induced by amyloid β25-35 modifies mucin-type O-glycosylation in the rat's hippocampus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Amyloid-β (Aβ) plays a relevant role in the neurodegenerative process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The 25-35 peptide of amyloid-β (Aβ25-35) induces the inflammatory response in brain experimental models. Mucin-type O-glycosylation has been associated with inflammation of brain tissues in AD, thus in

ArtinM, a D-mannose-binding lectin from Artocarpus integrifolia, plays a potent adjuvant and immunostimulatory role in immunization against Neospora caninum.

Only registered users can translate articles

ArtinM and Jacalin (JAC) are lectins from the jackfruit (Artocarpus integrifolia) that have important role in modulation of immune responses to pathogens. Neospora caninum is an Apicomplexa parasite that causes neuromuscular disease in dogs and reproductive disorders in cattle, with economic impact

Levels of immunoglobulin A1 and messenger RNA for interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha in total saliva from patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 with chronic periodontal disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease have high incidence in the general population and are associated with various degrees of dysfunction in the immune system. It has been shown that diabetic patients with severe periodontal disease have more complications of diabetes and less

Artocarpus: a review of its traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology.

Only registered users can translate articles

The genus Artocarpus (Moraceae) comprises about 50 species of evergreen and deciduous trees. Economically, the genus is of appreciable importance as a source of edible fruit, yield fairly good timber and is widely used in folk medicines. The aim of the present review is to present comprehensive

Hydrogel and membrane scaffold formulations of Frutalin (breadfruit lectin) within a polysaccharide galactomannan matrix have potential for wound healing.

Only registered users can translate articles

Plant lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, which can interact with cell surfaces to initiate anti-inflammatory pathways, as well as immunomodulatory functions. Here, we have extracted, purified and part-characterized the bioactivity of Jacalin, Frutalin, DAL and PNA, before evaluating their
