Curdione combined with borneol treats bacterial mixed HPV infection by regulating the crosstalk among immune cells by Jingwei Liu, Jingwei Liu, Tong Shu, Yiheng Mu, Wanlin Zheng, Xiaohuan Lu, Xiaohuan Lu, Hong Tao, Hong Tao

“…Furthermore, curdione and borneol enhance the expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and caspase 1 (CASP1) in macrophages, as well as the expression of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and interleukin 23 (IL-23) in dendritic cells (DCs). The expression of these inflammatory factors effectively promotes the migration and differentiation of T cells to the site of infection, completing the clearance of infected epithelial cells.ConclusionThe main components of Baofukang suppository, curdione and borneol, inhibit the progression of HPV infection and the occurrence of cervical cancer by modulating the communication between innate and adaptive immunity, promoting the recruitment and recognition of CD8+ T cells to eliminate HPV-infected epithelial cells.…”
