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.
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
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
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
