α-Synuclein Activates Microglia by Inducing the Expressions of Matrix Metalloproteinases and the Subsequent Activation of Protease-Activated Receptor-1
The mutation or overexpression of α-synuclein protein plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. In our preliminary experiments, we found that α-synuclein induced the expression… Expand

Advanced glycation end products increases matrix metalloproteinase‐1, ‐3, and ‐13, and TNF‐α in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes
We investigated the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGE) which accumulate in articular cartilage with age in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. We found AGE‐BSA significantly increased… Expand

Activation of cannabinoid CB2 receptor-mediated AMPK/CREB pathway reduces cerebral ischemic injury.
The type 2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) was recently shown to mediate neuroprotection in ischemic injury. However, the role of CB2Rs in the central nervous system, especially neuronal and glial CB2Rs… Expand

Activated Microglia Are Less Vulnerable to Hemin Toxicity due to Nitric Oxide-Dependent Inhibition of JNK and p38 MAPK Activation
In intracerebral hemorrhage, microglia become rapidly activated and remove the deposited blood and cellular debris. To survive in a harmful hemorrhagic or posthemorrhagic condition, activated… Expand

A3 adenosine receptor agonist reduces brain ischemic injury and inhibits inflammatory cell migration in rats.
A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) is recognized as a novel therapeutic target for ischemic injury; however, the mechanism underlying anti-ischemic protection by the A3AR agonist remains unclear. Here, we… Expand
