    • Exposure of primary rat glial cells, mostly astrocytes, to heat-inactivated Mycoplasma fermentans triggers the production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). To attenuate the production of these proinflammatory mediators, four agents: aminoguanidine, pentoxifylline, thalidomide and IL-10 were added to astrocyte cultures. Aminoguanidine (1 and 3 mM), an inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), suppressed the production of the three… CONTINUE READING
