Journal, IO biomarker: Free light chains injure proximal tubule cells through STAT1-HMGB1-TLR axis. (Pubmed Central) - May 22, 2021 Countering TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6 through GIT-27 or specific TLR siRNAs reduced downstream cytokine responses...PTCs exposed to FLCs released HMGB1, which induced TLRs 2, 4, 6 expression and downstream inflammation. Blocking FLCs' endocytosis, Stat1 knock-down, HMGB1 inhibition, and TLR knock-down each rescued PTCs from FLC-induced injury.

Preclinical, Journal: Interleukin-1 beta induces autophagy of mouse preimplantation embryos and improves blastocyst quality. (Pubmed Central) - May 11, 2021 Effects of IL-1β on the development of embryo reduced in 20 ng/mL IL-1β supplemented group when 5 mM 3-methyladenine (3-MA) was also added, which used to inhibit autophagy activation in endogenous PtdIns3Ks signal pathway. Our current results show that exogenous IL-1β can effectively induce autophagy in mouse embryos at stages of 2 to 8 cell and blastocyst, that also help to improve the quality of blastocyst.

Journal: Effects of GIT-27NO, a NO-donating compound, on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 24, 2020 GIT-27NO is a NO-derivative of the toll-like receptor 4 antagonist VGX-1027 that has been shown to possess both antineoplastic and immunomodulatory properties in vitro and in vivo...These effects were almost similar to that of the positive control drug dimethyl fumarate. These data suggest that the beneficial effect of GIT-27NO in the hepatic IRI can be secondary to anti-oxidative effects and hepatocyte necrosis reduction probably mediated by NO release.
