    Tumor necrosis factor-alpha induced caspase-3 activation-related iNOS gene expression in ADP-activated platelets
    (TUBITAK SCIENTIFIC \& TECHNICAL RESEARCH COUNCIL TURKEY, 2017-01-01) Cevik, Ozge; Adiguzel, Zelal; Baykal, Ahmet Tarik; Sener, Azize
    Platelets are sensitive cells and are easily activated by different stimulants in the circulation system. It is known that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine and plays a role in inflammation. The role of TNF-a in the apoptotic process in blood platelets is unknown. In order to study the formation of apoptosis in platelets after incubation with TNF-alpha and/or ADP, several biomarkers were chosen: phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and P-selectin binding

    Hypoxia Aggravates Inhibition of Alveolar Epithelial Na-Transport by Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulation of Alveolar Macrophages
    (MDPI, 2022-01-01) Baloglu, Emel; Velineni, Kalpana; Ermis-Kaya, Ezgi; Mairbaeurl, Heimo
    Inflammation and hypoxia impair alveolar barrier tightness, inhibit Na- and fluid reabsorption, and cause edema. We tested whether stimulated alveolar macrophages affect alveolar Na-transport and whether hypoxia aggravates the effects of inflammation, and tested for involved signaling pathways. Primary rat alveolar type II cells (rA2) were co-cultured with rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383) or treated with NR8383-conditioned media after stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS
