Fetuin (alpha2-HS-glycoprotein) opsonizes cationic macrophagedeactivating moleculesH Wang
Department of Emergency Medicine, North Shore University Hospital New York University School of Medicine, Manhasset, NY 11030, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 95:14429-34. 1998..g., spermine) and pharmacologic (e.g., CNI-1493). This role of fetuin as an opsonic participant in macrophage-deactivating mechanisms has implications for understanding and manipulating the innate immune response...
HMG-1 as a late mediator of endotoxin lethality in miceH Wang
Department of Emergency Medicine and Department of Surgery, North Shore University Hospital New York University School of Medicine, Manhasset, NY 11030, USA
Science 285:248-51. 1999..Septic patients who succumbed to infection had increased serum HMG-1 levels, suggesting that this protein warrants investigation as a therapeutic target...
HMG-1 rediscovered as a cytokineH Yang
Laboratory of Biomedical Science, North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
Shock 15:247-53. 2001..When released by activated monocytes, it participates in the development of lethality and it activates downstream cytokine release. This review covers the general features of HMG-1 and its newly appreciated role as a cytokine...
Spermine inhibition of monocyte activation and inflammationM Zhang
The Picower Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
Mol Med 5:595-605. 1999..Administration of BAP in vivo significantly augmented the development of carrageenan-induced paw edema and nitric oxide release. Thus, endogenous spermine normally inhibits the innate inflammatory response by restraining macrophages...
Fetuin, a negative acute phase protein, attenuates TNF synthesis and the innate inflammatory response to carrageenanM Ombrellino
Department of Surgery, North Shore University Hospital-New York University School of Medicine, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
Shock 15:181-5. 2001..These results now reveal a previously unrecognized anti-inflammatory role of fetuin in counter-regulating the innate immune response, and suggest that it may be possible to use fetuin as an experimental anti-inflammatory agent...
CNI-1493 attenuates hemodynamic and pro-inflammatory responses to LPSP E Molina
Department of Surgery, North Shore University Hospital, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
Shock 10:329-34. 1998..These results suggest diverse effects of CNI-1493 that are tissue specific and that confer protection against the hemodynamic and inflammatory responses to LPS...
Extracellular role of HMGB1 in inflammation and sepsisH Wang
Laboratory of Emergency Medicine, North Shore LIJ Research Institute, Manhasset, NY 11030, USA
J Intern Med 255:320-31. 2004..Strategies to inhibit HMGB1 activity and release are being investigated in these and other preclinical models of acute and chronic inflammation...
Vagus nerve stimulation attenuates the systemic inflammatory response to endotoxinL V Borovikova
The Picower Institute for Medical Research, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
Nature 405:458-62. 2000..Direct electrical stimulation of the peripheral vagus nerve in vivo during lethal endotoxaemia in rats inhibited TNF synthesis in liver, attenuated peak serum TNF amounts, and prevented the development of shock...
Dual roles for HMGB1: DNA binding and cytokineC J Czura
Laboratory of Biomedical Science, North Shore/Long Island Jewish Research Institute, Manhasset, New York 11030, USA
J Endotoxin Res 7:315-21. 2001..The delayed kinetics of HMGB1 release indicate that it may be useful to target this toxic cytokine in the development of future therapies...
The increase in levels of interferon-inducible proteins p202a and p202b and RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) during myoblast differentiation is due to transactivation by MyoD: their tissue distribution in uninfected mice does not depend on interferonsH Wang
Department of Surgery, Northshore University Hospital, Northshore LIJ Research Institute, Manhasset, NY 11030, USA
J Interferon Cytokine Res 22:729-37. 2002..This indicates that the synthesis and distribution of these proteins in uninfected adult mice are not affected by endogenous IFNs...
