Cyclic di-IMP (sodium salt) (c-di-IMP) is a synthetic second messenger structurally related to the bacterial second messengers cyclic di-GMP and cyclic di-AMP . C-di-IMP has adjuvant properties when co-administered with antigens in vitro and by mucosal routes in vivo. C-di-IMP enriches the population of MHC class I and II, CD80, CD86, CD40, and CD54 positive dendritic cells derived from murine bone marrow. It also stimulates macrophages at 500 ng ml. Mice immunized with β-galactosidase (β-gal) plus c-di-IMP through the intranasal route show a humoral immune response, evidenced by an increase in IgG titers up to 2-fold compared to mice immunized with β-gal alone. Mice immunized with β-gal plus c-di-IMP also exhibit a Th1 Th2 response, indicating that the adjuvant activity of c-di-IMP leads to a cellular immune response as well.
NFAT inhibitor. Inhibits LPS or LPS plus IFN-γ-induced IL-12 p40, IL-12 p70, IL-23 and TNF secretion from bone marrow-derivedmacrophages (BMDMs). Also attenuates NO production and Nos2 mRNA expression in LPS-stimulated BMDMs. Improves symptoms in a mouse
Potent and selective p38α and p38β degrader (DC50 < 50 nM). Displays no significant degradation of p38γ, p38δ, JNK1/2 or ERK1/2. Inhibits phosphorylation of MK2 in UV-treated cancer cells and LPS-stimulated bone marrow-derivedmacrophages (BMDM). Exhibits similar effect to p38α gene knockout in BBL358 cells. Active in vivo.
Potent and selective GPR84 biased agonist (EC50 = 33 nM). Exhibits no significant activity in a panel of 168 other GPCRs. Exhibits bias for G protein signaling pathways. Induces morphological changes in primary murine bone marrow-derivedmacrophages (BMDMs) in a cellular impedance assay, and promotes phagocytosis by M1 polarized U937 cells. Induces migration of primary human monocytes, but has no effect on macrophage chemotaxis.
Cheilanthifoline has anti-osteoclastogenic property, it gives significant inhibitions on receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand-induced differentiation of mouse bone marrow-derivedmacrophages into multinucleated osteoclasts.
LL-37 is a cationic and α-helical antimicrobial peptide expressed in human bone marrow, testis, granulocytes, and gingival epithelium and is upregulated in psoriatic lesions. It inhibits growth of Gram-positive E. coli D21 and Gram-negative B. megatarium in a concentration-dependent manner and LL-37 expression is induced in A549 epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages, neutrophils, and monocyte-derivedmacrophages following M. tuberculosis infection. LL-37 binds sheep erythrocytes coated with S. minnesota Re-LPS and induces agglutination with a minimal agglutinating concentration (MAC) of 12.1 μg/ml. It is a chemoattractant for, and can induce calcium mobilization in, human monocytes, neutrophils, and T cells that naturally express formyl peptide receptor-like 1 (FPRL1) and FPRL1-transfected HEK293 cells. LL-37 (10-15 μM) pretreatment of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) reduces its infectivity as well as levels of viral genomic RNA and NS1 antigen. In vivo, LL-37 inhibits cecal ligation and puncture-induced caspase-1 activation and pyroptosis of peritoneal macrophages, reduces levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and improves survival in polybacterial septic mice.
Resolvin conjugate in tissue regeneration 1 (RCTR1) is a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) biosynthesized from docosahexaenoic acid by isolated human macrophages and apoptotic polymorphonuclear (PMN) neutrophils.1It has been found in human spleen and bone marrow.2RCTR1 is produced via lipoxygenase-mediated oxidation of DHA to 7(S)-8-epoxy-17(S)-HDHA, which is conjugated to glutathione.1,2,3RCTR1 (10 nM) increases phagocytosis ofE. colior apoptotic neutrophils in isolated human monocyte-derivedmacrophages.2It decreases chemotaxis induced by leukotriene B4in isolated human neutrophils when used at a concentration of 10 nM. RCTR1 (1 and 10 nM) accelerates tissue regeneration in planaria. Intraperitoneal administration of RCTR1 (100 ng/animal) shortens the inflammatory resolution period and decreases inflammatory exudate neutrophil infiltration in a mouse model ofE. coli-induced peritonitis. 1.Dalli, J., Ramon, S., Norris, P.C., et al.Novel proresolving and tissue-regenerative resolvin and protectin sulfido-conjugated pathwaysFASEB J.29(5)2120-2136(2015) 2.de la Rosa, X., Norris, P.C., Chiang, N., et al.Identification and complete stereochemical assignments of the new resolvin conjugates in tissue regeneration in human tissues that stimulate proresolving phagocyte functions and tissue regenerationAm.
