Inhibitory effect of LY 255283 on the synthesis of leukotriene B4 and thromboxane A2 in human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes by M. Ugur, M. Melli

“…LY 255283 [(1-(5-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-(6-methyl-6-)1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-heptyloxy) phenyl)ethanone], a specific leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist, inhibited the production of LTB4 in human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and in monocytes activated by calcium ionophore A23187. In human monocytes activated by ionophore it inhibited also the production of thromboxane B2 (TXB2). …”

Prognostic Role of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Relation to Different Hematologic Indices by Asmaa M. Zahran, Helal F. Hetta, Zeinab Albadry M. Zahran, Alaa Rashad, Amal Rayan, Dalia O. Mohamed, Zeinab Ahmed Abd Elhameed, Salah M. Khallaf, Gaber El-Saber Batiha, Yasir Waheed, Khalid Muhammad, Hanaa Nafady-Hego

“…Furthermore, these cells accumulated significantly in stage IV compared to stage III (p=0.006) and correlated negatively with overall survival (r=−0.471, p=0.002), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (r=−0.446, p=0.004), and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (MPV/PC) (r=−0.464, p=0.003), patients with Mo‐MDSCs<13% had significantly better survival than those with Mo‐MDSCs≥13% (p=0.041). …”

Siglec-E augments adipose tissue inflammation by modulating TRAF3 signaling and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells during obesity by Ahmed Rakib, Mousumi Mandal, Md Abdullah Al Mamun, Sonia Kiran, Nelufar Yasmen, Lexiao Li, Daniel M. Collier, Jianxiong Jiang, Frank Park, Udai P. Singh

“…This was associated with an increased infiltration of macrophages, CXCR3 expressing CD8 T cells, and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs) with a concomitant decrease in numbers of dendritic cells (DCs), in the AT of siglec-E KO fed HFD versus the WT HFD counterparts. …”

Different Transcriptional Profiles of Human Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Infected with Distinct Strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin by Nunzia Sanarico, Alessia Colone, Manuela Grassi, Viviana Speranza, Daniela Giovannini, Antonio Ciaramella, Vittorio Colizzi, Francesca Mariani

“…In order to analyze dendritic cells (DCs) activation following infection with different mycobacterial strains, we studied the expression profiles of 165 genes of human monocyte-derived DCs infected with H37Rv, a virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) laboratory strain, CMT97, a clinical MTB isolate, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), Aventis Pasteur, and BCG Japan, both employed as vaccine against tuberculosis. …”

Reduced NLRP3 Gene Expression Limits the IL-1β Cleavage via Inflammasome in Monocytes from Severely Injured Trauma Patients by Shinwan Kany, Johann-Philipp Horstmann, Ramona Sturm, Katharina Mörs, Borna Relja

“…Reduced IL-1β secretion was paralleled by significantly lowered gene expression of NLRP3 in monocytes from TP compared to those of HV. Transfection of monocytes with NLRP3-encoding plasmid recovered the functionality of monocytes from TP regarding the IL-1β secretion. …”
