Background & AimsEpidemiological and animal studies have indicated an inverse correlation between the rising prevalence of obesity metabolic syndrome exposure to helminths. Whether helminth-induced immune response contributes microbiota remodeling in remains unknown. The aim this study is explore immune-regulatory role helminth prevention HFD-induced through gut microbiome.MethodsC57BL/6J WT STAT6-/- mice were infected with Heligmosomoides polygyrus followed by high fat diet (HFD) feeding...

Regulation of microbially induced cytokine secretion is critical in intestinal immune homeostasis. NOD2, the Crohn's disease-associated bacterial peptidoglycan sensor, activates NF-κB pathway. After chronic NOD2 stimulation human macrophages, significantly attenuated, similar to situation environment. We find that NF-κB1 (p105/p50) expression upregulated with and required for attenuation vitro macrophages vivo mice. Upon stimulation, regulation both activating (H3K4Me2 H4Ac) inhibitory...

Echinacea purpurea is an indigenous North American purple cone flower used by Americans for treatment of various infectious diseases and wounds. This study investigated the effect polysaccharide enriched extract (EE) on polarization macrophages. The results showed that 100 µg/mL EE could markedly activate macrophage increasing expression CD80, CD86, MHCII molecules. Meanwhile, upregulated markers classically activated macrophages (M1) such as CCR7 production IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p70, TNF-αand...

Proper regulation of microbial-induced cytokines is critical to intestinal immune homeostasis. Acute stimulation nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2), the Crohn's disease-associated sensor bacterial peptidoglycan, induces cytokines. However, chronic NOD2 in macrophages decreases upon pattern recognition receptor (PRR) restimulation; cytokine attenuation PRR similarly observed macrophages. The role for transcriptional repressors Twist1 and Twist2 regulating PRR-induced outcomes...

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein I (HNRNP I) is an RNA-binding protein essential for neonatal immune adaptation by downregulating interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK1) in toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated NF-κB signaling pathways. TLR-mediated associated with chronic inflammation, including the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. Therefore, dietary intake one major concerns individuals The present study aims to investigate effects a protein-enriched diet on...

Antioxidants are well known for possessing anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce the risk of chronic disease and obesity. However, very little research has been done to examine antioxidant intake among adolescent minority populations such as Native American adolescents.

Abstract Objectives To study the effect of selenocystine (Selenocystine, SeC) on radiosensitivity human cervical cancer Hela cells, and to provide a new target for cancer. Methods SeC were added then irradiate with 200 cGy/min X‐rays. The radiosensitization cells confirmed experiments cell growth inhibition, clone formation, flow cytometry Western blotting detect apoptosis. Results at different doses 0, 5, 10, 20 μmol/L incubating 24 hours, inhibition rates were: 0%, 22.68%, 41.71%, 74.19%,...

Obesity is becoming increasingly prevalent among US adolescents due to various factors such as food preference, availability, and social condition: however, rates of obesity in Native American are comparatively much higher than their counterparts differences 7.2% have been reported between white adolescents. Given extensive study highlighting the highly harmful effects overall health that consuming trans fats has linked to, this investigated dietary intake levels by explored implications...
