CXCL-16, IL-17, and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) are associated with ov...
Ribeiro, Silvana Mara Luz Turbino; Lopes, Laís Roquete; Costa, Guilherme de Paula; Figueiredo, Vivian Paulino; Bajracharya, Deena ShresthaThe current concept of overweight/obesity is most likely related to a combination of increased caloric intake and decreased energy expenditure. Widespread inflammation, associated with both conditions, appears to contribute to the development of some obesity-related comorbidities. Interventions that directly or indirectly target individuals at high risk of developing obesity have been largely proposed because o...
Expression and production of cardiac angiogenic mediators depend on the Trypano...
Bajracharya, Deena Shrestha; Bajracharya, Bijay; Costa, Guilherme de Paula; Salles, Beatriz Cristina Silveira; Leite, Ana Luísa JunqueiraMammalian cardiac cells are important targets to the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The inflammatory reaction in the host aims at eliminating this parasite, can lead to cell destruction, fibrosis and hypoxia. Local hypoxia iswelldefined stimulus to the production of angiogenesis mediators. Assuming that different genetic T. cruzi populations induce distinct inflammation and disease patterns, the current study aim...
Trypanosoma cruzi antigens induce inflammatory angiogenesis in a mouse subcutan...
Silva, Francisca Hildemagna Guedes da; Bajracharya, Deena Shrestha; Salles, Beatriz Cristina Silveira; Figueiredo, Vivian Paulino; Lopes, Laís RoqueteAcute inflammation and angiogenesis are persistent features of several pathological conditions induced by biological agents leading to the resolution of local and systemic events. Glycoproteins derived from the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi are suggested to mediate angiogenesis induced by inflammatory cells with still undescribed mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of total antigen from trypoma...
Production and expression of inflammation and angiogenic parameters triggered b...
Bajracharya, Deena ShresthaPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Biológicas. Núcleo de Pesquisas em Ciências Biológicas, Pró-Reitoria de Pesquisa e Pós Graduação, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.; A cardiopatia induzida pela infecção pelo Trypanosoma cruzi aprensenta a inflamação como sua principal característica imunopatológica. Differente células inflamatórias contribuem para a produção de mediatores inflamatorios e regulatórios pro...
Short-term therapy with simvastatin reduces inflammatory mediators and heart in...
Silva, Rafael Rodrigues; Bajracharya, Deena Shrestha; Leite, Camila Megale Almeida; Leite, Romulo; Bahia, Maria TerezinhaTrypanosoma cruzi infection induces progressive cardiac inflammation that leads to fibrosis and modifications in the heart architecture and functionality. Statins, such as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors, have been studied due to their pleiotropic roles in modulating the inflammatory response. Our goal was to evaluate the effects of simvastatin on the cardiac inflammatory pr...
