The Role of Macrophages in the Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease by A. I. Khavkin, E. V. Loshkova, E. I. Kondratieva, N. S. Shapovalova, I. R. Grishkevich, I. V. Doroshenko, G. N. Yankina

“…Therapeutic tactics for celiac disease today include a gluten-free diet, which is not so easy to follow. Of interest is the study of the possibility of using polyphenols in celiac disease, which are capable of precipitating gliadins and inhibiting the polarization of macrophages towards a proinflammatory phenotype, while simultaneously stimulating an increase in the population of macrophages of an anti-inflammatory phenotype associated with a decrease in tissue damage.Conclusion. …”

Smad4 deficiency in hepatocytes attenuates NAFLD progression via inhibition of lipogenesis and macrophage polarization by Wei Yang, Xuanxuan Yan, Rui Chen, Xin Xin, Shuang Ge, Yongxiang Zhao, Xinlong Yan, Jinhua Zhang

“…Hepatocyte-specific knockout Smad4 mice (AlbSmad4−/−) were first constructed using the Cre-Loxp recombinant system to establish a high-fat diet induced NAFLD model. The role of Smad4 in the occurrence and development of NAFLD was determined by monitoring the body weight of mice, detecting triglycerides and free fatty acids in serum and liver tissue homogenates, staining the tissue sections to observe the accumulation of liver fat, and RT-qPCR detecting the expression of genes related to lipogenesis, fatty acid intake, and fatty acid β oxidation. …”

Quercetin attenuates cisplatin-induced fatigue through mechanisms associated with the regulation of the HPA axis and MCP-1 signaling by Cheng-Hung Chuang, Yu-An Tai, Ting-Jing Wu, Ying-Jui Ho, Shu-Lan Yeh, Shu-Lan Yeh

“…The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether quercetin regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) signaling, two factors contributing to CRF in mice exposed to cisplatin.MethodsMale BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to the following five groups for 15 weeks: Control, CDDP, CDDP+TAK779 (an antagonist of MCP-1 receptor, human CC chemokine receptor R2 (CCR2)), CDDP+OQ (a diet containing 1% quercetin) and CDDP+IQ (quercetin given by ip, 10 mg/kg, 3 times/week).ResultsThe results first showed that OQ and IQ significantly increased grip strength and locomotor activity, decreased plasma cortisol/corticosterone levels, and decreased the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA level in the brain tissues in mice exposed to CDDP. …”
