Article Title: Hypercholesterolemia aggravates in-stent restenosis in rabbits: a mitigating effect of stent surface modification with CD47-derived peptide

doi: 10.1101/2023.02.27.530304

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A-P) Representative microscopic images (100x magnification) of iliac arteries stented with BMS (A, B, E, F, I, J, M, N) and pepCD47-functionalized stents (C, G, K, O) and immunostained for TNFα (A-C), IL1β (E-G), IL6 (I-K) and CD68-positive macrophages (M-O). Quantification of TNFα (D), IL1β (H), and IL6 (L) expression was based on a semi-quantitative (0-4) scale. Macrophage infiltration around the struts (P) was calculated as a percentage of a strut circumference occupied with the CD68-positive cells (n=4 for each marker/treatment group combination).

Article Snippet: Primary antibodies to rabbit CD68, TNFα, IL1β, and IL6 were from ProSci (Poway, CA, USA), MyBioSource (San Diego, CAS, USA), Bioss (Woburn, MA, USA), and Abbexa (Cambridge, UK), respectively.

Article Title: Quercetin can reduce viral RNA level of O’nyong-nyong virus and resulting innate immune cytokine responses in cultured human synovial fibroblasts

doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-85840-z

Figure Lengend Snippet: Concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects of phenolics or ONNV on cultured HSF cells. Cells were infected by ONNV (MOI 10 –3 to 1) or phenolics (1 to 100 µM) for 24 h. Released LDH in culture medium was measured using a colorimetric-based method (CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay) and expressed relative to the maximum release by application of a lysis buffer (Triton 1%). Reported values are means ± SEM of three independent experiments and p value was calculated using the Bonferroni multiple comparison test (** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001) with untreated cells (CTRL).

Article Snippet: HSF cells were obtained from ScienCell research laboratory (ScienCell, 4700 Clinisciences) and were grown in Modified Eagle's Medium (MEM, PAN Biotech P0408500) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; PAN Biotech, 3302 P290907), 2 mM of L-glutamine (Biochrom AG, K0282), 0.1 mg/mL penicillin–streptomycin (PAN Biotech, P0607100), 1 mM of sodium pyruvate (PAN Biotech, P0443100) and 0,5 μg/mL of amphotericin B (PAN Biotech, P0601001).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Quercetin impairs ONNV replication in HSF cells. HSF cells were infected by ONNV (MOI 1) co-treated or not with phenolic compounds (10 µM) for 24 h. Then, RNA was collected and E1, E2, nsP1 and nsP2 gene expression levels were determined by qRT-PCR.
