In-depth proteomic profiling identifies potentiation of the LPS response by 7-ketocholesterol by Iain R. Phair, Magdalena Sovakova, Noor Alqurashi, Raid B. Nisr, Alison D. McNeilly, Douglas Lamont, Graham Rena

“…Rather, they prime the macrophage, potentiating LPS-stimulated TNF alpha secretion and key pro-inflammatory enzymes. Our results indicate that 7-KC has independent metabolic effects on the macrophage; however, effects on the immune system are primarily due to the changes in metabolism priming the response to an inflammatory stimulus. …”

Sophocarpine Attenuates LPS-Induced Liver Injury and Improves Survival of Mice through Suppressing Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis by Zhengyu Jiang, Yan Meng, Lulong Bo, Changli Wang, Jinjun Bian, Xiaoming Deng

“…We found that sophocarpine increases the survival rate of mice and attenuates the LPS-induced liver injury, which is indicated by pathology and serum liver enzymes. Further research found that sophocarpine ameliorated hepatic oxidative stress indicators (H2O2, O2∙−, and NO) and enhanced the expression of antioxidant molecules such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). …”

Exposure of Mesenchymal Stem Cells to an Alzheimer’s Disease Environment Enhances Therapeutic Effects by Sang Eon Park, Hyeong Seop Kim, Soo Jin Kwon, Min-Jeong Kim, Suk-joo Choi, Soo-young Oh, Gyu Ha Ryu, Hong Bae Jeon, Duk L. Na, Jong Wook Chang

“…Previous studies suggested that the coculture of human MSCs with AD in an in vitro model reduced the expression of amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) in the medium as well as the overexpression of amyloid-beta- (Aβ-) degrading enzymes such as neprilysin (NEP). We focused on the role of primed MSCs (human Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) exposed to an AD cell line via a coculture system) in reducing the levels of Aβ and inhibiting cell death. …”
