Newest firstLenabasum, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid type-2 receptor (CB2R) agonist, has shown promise in reducing cutaneous disease in Dermatomyositis (DM) patients. Lenabasum activates two distinct receptors: CB2R and the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). Our goal was to investigate the dominant mechanism of action leading to pathogenic IFNβ reduction by lenabasum (through CB2R or PPARγ) across…
Open article record in new tab ↗Acute inflammation is elicited by lipid and protein mediators in defense of the host following sterile or pathogen-driven injury. A common refrain is that chronic inflammation is a result of incomplete resolution of acute inflammation and behind the etiology of all chronic diseases, including cancer. However, mediators that participate in inflammation are also essential in homeostasis and developmental biology but…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of pathologies like neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer, since tumor development and chronic inflammation are linked, sharing common signaling pathways. At least 20% of breast and colorectal cancers are associated with chronic inflammation triggered by infections, irritants, or autoimmune diseases. Obesity, chron…
BackgroundTo evaluate drug use (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis and other drugs) and its association with mean CD4/CD8 T cell count ratio, a marker of chronic inflammation, in virally suppressed people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) in Nouvelle Aquitaine, France.MethodsA multi-centric, cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 2018–19 in the QuAliV study—ANRS CO3 AQUIVIH-NA cohort. Tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and other drug…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chronic inflammation is considered to be a silent killer because it is the underlying cause of a wide range of clinical disorders, from cardiovascular to neurological diseases, and from cancer to obesity. In addition, there are over 80 different types of debilitating autoimmune diseases for which there are no cure. Currently, the drugs that are available to suppress chronic inflammation are either ineffective or o…
The neurohypophysial hormone oxytocin (OXT) is synthesized in the hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei. Recently, some studies have considered OXT to be important in sensory modulation and that the OXT protein is upregulated by acute and chronic nociception. However, the mechanism by which OXT is upregulated in neurons is unknown. In this study, we examined the resting membrane potentials and excitat…
Cannabis and analogs of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol have been used for therapeutic purposes, but their therapeutic use remains limited because of various adverse effects. Endogenous cannabinoids have been discovered, and dysregulation of endocannabinoid signaling is implicated in the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). Recently, endocannabinoid hydrolytic enzymes such as fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAA…
