1 Nifedipine inhibits tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 overexpression by blocking NADPH oxidase-mediated reactive oxygen species generation. Nifedipine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we investigated whether nifedipine, one of the most popular DHPs, could inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and subsequent monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Nifedipine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
3 In this study, we investigated whether nifedipine, one of the most popular DHPs, could inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and subsequent monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Nifedipine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, nifedipine was found to significantly inhibit upregulation of MCP-1 messenger RNA levels in TNF-alpha-exposed HUVEC. Nifedipine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
5 The results demonstrate that nifedipine could inhibit TNF-alpha-induced MCP-1 overexpression in HUVEC by suppressing NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS generation. Nifedipine C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 Homo sapiens
