Journal ArticleDOI
Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) triggers inflammatory responses in hemorrhagic shock and sepsis
Xiaoling Qiang,Weng Lang Yang,Rongqian Wu,Mian Zhou,Asha Jacob,Weifeng Dong,Michael Kuncewitch,Youxin Ji,Huan Yang,Haichao Wang,Jun Fujita,Jeffrey Nicastro,Gene F. Coppa,Kevin J. Tracey,Ping Wang +14 more
TL;DR: CIRP is a damage-associated molecular pattern molecule that promotes inflammatory responses in shock and sepsis and is upregulated in the heart and liver and released into the circulation in animal models of hemorrhage andSepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel method to determine the engulfment of apoptotic cells by macrophages using pHrodo succinimidyl ester
Michael Miksa,Hidefumi Komura,Hidefumi Komura,Rongqian Wu,Rongqian Wu,Kavin G. Shah,Kavin G. Shah,Ping Wang,Ping Wang +8 more
TL;DR: This novel assay is a quick and reliable method to evaluate the internalization of apoptotic cells, and used MFGE8(-/-) macrophages, known to have impaired phagocytic ability, to demonstrate its validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of the Anti-inflammatory Effect of Curcumin: PPAR-γ Activation
TL;DR: The present review highlights the importance of curcumin as an anti-inflammatory agent and suggests that the beneficial effect ofCurcumin is mediated by the upregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ghrelin attenuates sepsis-induced acute lung injury and mortality in rats.
Rongqian Wu,Weifeng Dong,Mian Zhou,Fangming Zhang,Corrado P. Marini,Thanjavur S. Ravikumar,Ping Wang +6 more
TL;DR: Ghrelin can be developed as a novel treatment for severe sepsis-induced ALI and the protective effect of ghrelin is mediated through inhibition of NF-kappaB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ghrelin Down-regulates Proinflammatory Cytokines in Sepsis Through Activation of the Vagus Nerve
Rongqian Wu,Weifeng Dong,Xiaoxuan Cui,Mian Zhou,H. Hank Simms,Thanjavur S. Ravikumar,Ping Wang +6 more
TL;DR: Ghrelin down-regulates proinflammatory cytokines in sepsis through activation of the vagus nerve and may offer a novel approach of anti-sepsis therapy.
