This study aimed to explore the effects of ceramide (Cer) on NLRP3 inflammasome activation and their underlying mechanisms. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774A.1 cells and THP-1 macrophages was used as an in vitro model of inflammation.
The "free radical theory of aging" suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are responsible for age-related loss of cellular functions and, therefore, represent the main cause of aging. Redox regulation by thioredoxin-1 (TRX) plays a crucial role in responses to
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) plays a critical role in oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, the role of TXNIP in high glucose-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction is still unknown. Here, we show that high
Exploring the molecular mechanisms that prevent inflammation during caloric restriction may yield promising therapeutic targets. During fasting, activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) promotes the utilization of lipids as an energy source. Herein, we show that
Ischemic stroke is a life-threatening cerebrovascular thrombotic disease, oxidative stress is considered to be a critical factor to stroke pathophysiology. This study aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism and propose the potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. Bioinformatics analysis
