Open AccessA novel in vitro model of metastasis supporting passive shedding hypothesis from murine pancreatic cancer Panc-02
Cancer metastasis is believed to happen through active intravasation but there might be also another way to metastasize. According to passive shedding hypothesis, proposed by Munn et al., tumor cells detach fr...

Open AccessExpression and activity of hydrogen sulfide generating enzymes in murine macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ
Murine macrophages of the J774A.1 line are hydrogen sulphide-producing cells with the primary role of γ-cystathionase (CTH) and secondary role of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (limited by cysteine avail...

Comparative Analysis of Microbicidal and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Novel Taurine Bromamine Derivatives and Bromamine T
Taurine, the most abundant free amino acid in leukocyte cytosol traps hypohalous acids (HOCl and HOBr) to produce N-chlorotaurine (taurine chloramine, NCT and N-bromotaurine (taurine bromamine, Tau-NHBr,) resp...

The role of heme oxygenase-1 in down regulation of PGE2 production by taurine chloramine and taurine bromamine in J774.2 macrophages
Taurine chloramine (TauCl) and taurine bromamine (TauBr), products of myeloperoxidase halide system, exert anti-inflammatory properties. TauCl was demonstrated to inhibit the production of a variety of pro-inf...

Heme oxygenase-1 participates in the anti-inflammatory activity of taurine chloramine
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) are implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases. In affected joints fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are the major source of these pro-inflammatory cyto...

Comparison of taurine chloramine and taurine bromamine effects on rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) participate in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) chronic synovitis by producing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8), growth factors (VEGF) and other inflammatory mediators (PGE2, NO...

Taurine chloramine inhibits proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes by triggering a p53-dependent pathway
Taurine chloramine (Tau-Cl), originating from activated neutrophils, possesses antiinflammatory activities. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) participate in the chronic synovitis and synovial membrane hyperpl...

Is there a role of taurine bromamine in inflammation? Interactive effects with nitrite and hydrogen peroxide
Objective and Design: The myeloperoxidase system of neutrophils generates chlorinating and brominating oxidants in vivo. The major haloamines of the system are taurine chloramine (TauCl) and taurine bromamine (Ta...

Taurine chloramine modulates cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
The effect of taurine (Tau) and taurine chloramine (Tau-Cl) on the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy volunteers was examined. Cells were stimulated with bacter...

Effect of taurine chloramine, the product of activated neutrophils, on the development of collagen-induced arthritis in DBA 1/J mice
Taurine chloramine (TauCl), a product of neutrophil myeloperoxidase – halide system, formed by a reaction of taurine with HOCl, is known as an anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory long-lived oxidant. We previ...

Antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of hypochlorous acid: interactions with taurine and nitrite
Objective. HOCl, a major bactericidal product of neutrophil MPO - halide system reacts with taurine to form taurine chloramine (TauCl), a less toxic anti-inflammatory mediator. Recently, it has b...
