Sensitization of sensory neurons is a critical component of hypersensitivity that occurs during chronic pain and inflammation. Questions remain, however, whether this sensitization depends on the continuous activation of signal transduction pathways in sensory neurons, whether the sensitization
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of forskolin on retinal inflammation under diabetic conditions. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control, diabetic control and forskolin treatment groups. The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of
The principal active component of isoforskolin (ISOF) is from the plant Coleus forskohlii, native to China, which has attracted much attention for its biological effects. We hypothesize that ISOF and forskolin (FSK) pretreatment attenuates inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) related to
Adipose tissue plays an important role in energy reservation, also be considered as vital immunological organ in animals. Adipocytes are the basic unit of adipose tissue, while little is known about the relationship between lipid metabolism and inflammatory response in fish adipocytes so far. In
BACKGROUND
The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) drives pain by inducing the expression of inflammatory mediators; however, its ability to regulate sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7), a key driver of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hypernociception, remains unknown. IL-1β induces
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we examined the possibility that 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) acting as a ligand for the HCA2 receptor (GPR109A) elicits both anti-inflammatory and cell death responses.
METHODS
Agonistic activity of 4-HNE was determined by observing the inhibition of cAMP generation in
Selective and timely induction of apoptosis is an effective means of resolving inflammation. The effects and putative mechanisms by which cyclic AMP (cAMP) modulates leukocyte apoptosis in vivo are still unclear. The present study aims at identifying intracellular pathways underlying the ability of
OBJECTIVE
Exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, is reported to have modest anti-inflammatory effects in addition to that of improving beta cell survival. We therefore sought to determine whether exendin-4 decreases expression of the gene encoding chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand
Protein phosphatase 2Cβ (PP2Cβ) was found to act as a negative regulator of NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling; however, its regulatory mechanism has not been examined. Here, we show that protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylates the PP2Cβ, which was inhibited by PKA-specific inhibitor, H89. Mutation
Possible role of phosphodiesterase 7A (PDE7A) in skin inflammation was examined using ASB16165, a specific inhibitor for PDE7A. Epicutaneous application of phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse ear resulted in induction of skin edema, and topical treatment with ASB16165
Inhalation of JMF2-1, an analog of lidocaine with reduced anesthetic activity, prevents airway contraction and lung inflammation in experimental asthma models. We sought to test if the JMF2-1 effects are a consequence of increased intracellular cAMP levels in asthma cell targets, such as smooth
OBJECTIVE
Activation of cannabinoid CB(2) receptors protects against various forms of ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Δ(8) -Tetrahydrocannabivarin (Δ(8) -THCV) is a synthetic analogue of the plant cannabinoid Δ(9) -tetrahydrocannabivarin, which exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in rodents
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) experience elevated inflammation in multiple organs, but whether this reflects an inherent feature of CF cells or is a consequence of a pro-inflammatory environment is not clear.METHOD
Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effects of colforsin daropate hydrochloride (colforsin), a water-soluble forskolin derivative, on hemodynamics and systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass, we conducted a prospective randomized study.
METHODS
Twenty-nine patients undergoing coronary
The expression of 14 kDa group II phospholipase A2 [also referred to as secretory PLA2 (sPLA2)] is induced in rat glomerular mesangial cells by exposure to inflammatory cytokines and forskolin, a cAMP elevating agent. Previously we have shown that dexamethasone and transforming growth factor-beta 2
