IL-21 is a type I cytokine produced by T cells and natural killer T cells that has pleiotropic actions on a wide range of immune and non-immune cell types. Since its discovery in 2000, extensive studies on the biological actions of IL-21 have been pe

IL-1β is a proinflammatory cytokine important for local and systemic immunity. However, aberrant production of this cytokine is implicated in pathogenic mechanisms of a number of inflammatory diseases, including Behçet’s disease and age-related m

Significance IL-21 is a type I cytokine important for immune cell differentiation and function. We found that transcription factors STAT1 and STAT3 play partially opposing roles in IL-21 function in CD4 + T cells. Both STAT1 and STAT3 control IL-21

We studied the effects of schisandrol A (SCH) and gomisin A (GOM), two of the main bioactive components of Fructus Schisandrae chinensis, on cytochrome P450-3A4 (CYP3A4) activity and cellular glutathione (GSH) level. In a cell-free system both SCH an

1alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (VD(3)), the biologically active form of vitamin D, may have either pro- or anti-inflammatory activities because of its diverse actions on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). Previous studies indicated that VD(3) can e

Both diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) are important second messengers involved in signal transduction from many immune cell receptors and can be generated and metabolized through multiple mechanisms. Recent studies indicate that diacyl

Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-4, IL-7, IL-15, and IL-21 are members of a family of type I cytokines that share the common cytokine receptor γ chain, γ c , as a critical receptor component. The gene encoding γ c , IL2RG , is mutated in humans with X-lin

In the present work, we have studied the feasibility of a method based on polyallyldiglycol-carbonate (PADC) films to investigate the effects of alpha particles on HeLa cervix cancer cells. Thin PADC films with thickness of about 20 μm were prepared

The mis-regulation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) signal pathway is involved in a variety of inflammatory diseases that leds to the production of inflammatory mediators. Our studies using human U937 promonocytes cells suggested that magnolol,

Recent studies have shown that dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans may reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance (Pgp-MDR) in cancer cells; however, the mechanism of action remains unknown. Through screening of herbs, we found that schisandrol A
