Bacterial endotoxin-induced sepsis causes 30-40% of the deaths in the intensive care unit (ICU) globally, for which there is no pharmacotherapy. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, stimulates the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 signalling pathways to upregulate the expression of various inflammatory mediators. Here, we show that the TIRAP and c-Jun protein signalling complex forms in macrophages in response to LPS stimulation, which increases the AP1 transcriptional activity, thereby amplifying the expression of inflammatory mediators. Using a computer-aided molecular docking platform, we identified gefitinib as a putative inhibitor of the TIRAP-c-Jun signalling complex.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides enhance neonatal resistance to Listeria infection. Ito, S; Ishii, KJ; Gürsel, Mayda; Shirotra, H; Ihata, A; Klinman, DM (The American Association of Immunologists, 2005-01-15) Infection by Listeria monocytogenes causes serious morbidity and mortality during the neonatal period. Previous studies established that immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) can increased the resistance of adult mice to many infectious pathogens, including Listeria. This work examines the capacity of CpG ODN to stimulate a protective immune response in newborns. Results indicate that dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells from 3-day-old mice respond to CpG stimulation by secreting IFN- , IL-...
Suppressive oligodeoxynucleotides protect mice from lethal endotoxic shock. Shirota, H; Gursel, I; Gürsel, Mayda; Klinman, DM (The American Association of Immunologists, 2005-04-15) Endotoxic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by exposure to bacterial LPS. LPS triggers the release of acute phase, proinflammatory, and Th1 cytokines that facilitate the development of endotoxic shock. Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing suppressive TTAGGG motifs effectively down-regulate the production of proinflammatory and Th1 cytokines elicited by a variety of immune stimuli. The current results demonstrate that suppressive ODN protect mice from LPS-induced endotoxic shock. Under...
Autophagy, Apoptosis, Mitoptosis and Necrosis: Interdependence Between Those Pathways and Effects on Cancer Chaabane, Wiem; User, Sirma D.; El-Gazzah, Mohamed; Jaksik, Roman; Sajjadi, Elaheh; Rzeszowska-Wolny, Joanna; Los, Marek J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-02-01) Cell death is a fundamental ingredient of life. Thus, not surprisingly more than one form of cell death exists. Several excellent reviews on various forms of cell death have already been published but manuscripts describing interconnection and interdependence between such processes are uncommon. Here, what follows is a brief introduction on all three classical forms of cell death, followed by a more detailed insight into the role of p53, the master regulator of apoptosis, and other forms of cell death. Whil...
Repetitive elements in mammalian telomeres suppress bacterial DNA-induced immune activation. Gursel, I; Gürsel, Mayda; Yamada, H; Ishii, KJ; Takeshita, F; Klinman, DM (The American Association of Immunologists, 2003-08-01) Bacterial DNA contains immunostimulatory CpG motifs that trigger an innate immune response capable of promoting host survival following infectious challenge. Yet CpG-driven immune activation may also have deleterious consequences, ranging from autoimmune disease to death. We find that repetitive elements present at high frequency in mammalian telomeres, but rare in bacteria, down-regulate CpG-induced immune activation. Suppressive activity correlates with the ability of telomeric TTAGGG repeats to form G-te...
IN-VIVO EFFECTS OF THE ANESTHETIC, BENZOCAINE, ON LIVER MICROSOMAL CYTOCHROME-P450 AND MIXED-FUNCTION OXIDASE ACTIVITIES OF GILTHEAD SEABREAM (SPARUS-AURATA) ARINC, E; SEN, A (Elsevier BV, 1994-03-01) Gilthead seabreams were exposed to benzocaine, 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, 57 mg/l in sea water for 3 min, daily, for 2 or 3 consecutive days. The fish were killed 20 hr after the last treatment. Benzocaine treatment for 2 or 3 days resulted in 57% and 67% inhibition of liver microsomal aniline 4-hydroxylase and ethylmorphine N-demethylase activities, respectively. The total cytochrome P450 content of fish liver microsomes was unaltered following the 2-day benzocaine treatment. However, additional 3 mi...
