Application

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are characteristic components of the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS and its lipid A moiety stimulate cells of the innate immune system by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a member of the Toll-like receptor protein family, which recognizes common pathogen-associated molecular-patterns (PAMPs).

Macrophages from certain inbred mouse strains are rapidly killed (< 90 min) by anthrax lethal toxin (LT). LT cleaves cytoplasmic MEK proteins at 20 min and induces caspase-1 activation in sensitive macrophages at 50-60 min, but the mechanism of LT-induced

Recent research indicates that glial cells control complex functions within the nervous system. For example, it has been shown that glial cells contribute to the development of pathological pain, the process of long-term potentiation, and the formation of memories. These

Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the cell surface indicates apoptosis, but has also been related to evasion mechanisms of parasites, a concept known as apoptotic mimicry. Toxoplasma gondii mimics apoptotic cells by exposing PS, inducing secretion of TGF-beta1 by infected activated

Using oligonucleotide microarray, many IFN-inducible genes have been found to be highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from most patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Among these IFN-inducible genes, IFN-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 4 (IFIT4) is a

Although both inflammatory and metabolic complications occur during sepsis and endotoxemia, relatively few studies have examined the molecular mechanism underlying LPS-modulated metabolic changes during sepsis. In this report, we have demonstrated that LPS suppresses free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation, and
