Electrospun Microfiber Scaffolds with Anti-Inflammatory Tributanoylated N-Acetyl-d-Glucosamine Promote Cartilage Regeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tissue-engineering strategies offer promising tools for repairing cartilage damage; however, these strategies suffer from limitations under pathological conditions. As a model disease for these types of nonideal systems, the inflammatory environment in an osteoarthritic (OA) joint limits the

A novel N-acetyl-glucosamine lectin of Lonchocarpus araripensis attenuates acute cellular inflammation in mice.

OBJECTIVE This study had investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of a seed lectin (LAL) isolated from Lonchocarpus araripensis. METHODS LAL was purified by affinity chromatography (chitin column) and ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-Sephacel). In vitro LAL was tested for hemagglutinating

Dioclea violacea lectin ameliorates inflammation in the temporomandibular joint of rats by suppressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression.

Only registered users can translate articles

Inflammation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) tissues are the most common cause of pain conditions associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). After a tissue and/or neural damage, the inflammatory response is characterized by plasma extravasation and leukocytes infiltration in the TMJ

Ectodomain interactions of leukocyte integrins and pro-inflammatory GPI-linked membrane proteins.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) linked membrane proteins do not possess transmembrane or cytosolic sequences they elicit transmembrane signals. Using microscopic fluorescence imaging and resonance energy transfer (RET) techniques we have shown that certain pro-inflammatory GPI-linked

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

The gut in the acute phase response: changes in colonic and hepatic enzyme activity in response to dermal inflammation in the rat.

1. Transient mild dermal inflammation was produced in rats by the subcutaneous injection of either carageenan or monosodium urate crystals. The activities of enzymes of the sialic acid metabolic pathway were measured in liver and colon at 8 h, 3 days and 7 days. 2. In both liver and colon the

Effects of hyaluronan alone or in combination with chondroitin sulfate and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine on lipopolysaccharide challenge-exposed equine fibroblast-like synovial cells.

OBJECTIVE To investigate effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) or HA combined with chondroitin sulfate (CS) and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (NAG) by use of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro method. SAMPLE Monolayer cultures of synovial cells from 4 adult horses. PROCEDURES Synovial cell cultures were

Hyaluronan is high-molecular-weight biopolymer. Its linear structure is created by repeating disaccharide units. A single unit is composed of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid. Hyaluronan is the main component of the extracellular matrix. Apart from its structural role, hyaluronan can

Chitosan induces different L-arginine metabolic pathways in resting and inflammatory macrophages.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chitosan is a linear polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and deacetylated glucosamine widely used as a wound-healing accelerator in clinical and veterinary medicine. Chitosan enhances the functions of inflammatory cells such as macrophages (Mphi), inducing the production of cytokines as well as the

Anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties of chitin and chitosan oligosaccharides.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous reports indicate that N-acetyl-d-glucosamine oligomers (chitin oligosaccharide; NACOS) and d-glucosamine oligomers (chitosan oligosaccharide; COS) have various biological activities, especially against cancer and inflammation. In this review, we have summarized the findings of previous

Soluble Fcgamma receptor type III (FcgammaRIII, CD16) triggers cell activation through interaction with complement receptors.

Only registered users can translate articles

The type III-B Fcgamma receptor (FcgammaRIII-B) is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-linked receptor found on human neutrophils. A soluble form of FcgammaRIII-B (sCD16) corresponding to the extracellular region of the receptor circulates in plasma. In the present work, we have identified membrane

N-acetyl-D-galactosamine inhibits TNF-alpha gene expression induced in mouse peritoneal macrophages by fimbriae of Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis, an oral anaerobe.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adherence to host cells is an essential step in the initiation of most infectious diseases. It is well known that bacterial fimbriae may be involved in the adherence. Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis is a pathogenic organism of adult periodontitis which is a chronic inflammatory disease. Using

A complete set of hyaluronan fragments obtained from hydrolysis catalyzed by hyaluronidase: Application to studies of hyaluronan mass distribution by simple HPLC devices.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hyaluronan (HA) has different biological functions according to its molar mass; short HA fragments are involved in inflammation processes and angiogenesis, whereas native HA is not. Physicochemically, studies of native HA hydrolysis catalyzed by bovine testicular hyaluronidase (HAase) have suggested

Characterization of hyaluronan-binding proteins on guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes: possible involvement of complement receptor type 3 (CR3, CD11b/CD18) in the hyaluronan-leukocyte interaction.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hyaluronan (HA), a high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan ubiquitously present in the extracellular matrices (ECMs) of animals, plays important roles in ECM organization and cell behavior through binding to hyaluronan-binding proteins (HABPs). We previously reported that HA has anti-inflammatory

Alterations in human lung parenchyma after cytostatic therapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chemotherapy does not only affect the viability of the tumor cell. It may also cause alterations in normal organs. Thus, tumor-free areas within human lung parenchyma of 63 surgical specimens of intrapulmonary metastases were analyzed to assess the extent of morphologic changes in response to
