Hypothesis

How do Mdivi-1 and S1QEL affect OxLDL-induced responses in human monocytes?

Conclusion

Mdivi-1 and S1QEL reduce harmful metabolic and inflammatory responses in monocytes caused by OxLDL.

Supporting Evidence

  • OxLDL treatment increased glycolytic activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.
  • Mdivi-1 and S1QEL reduced glycolytic reprogramming and inflammatory cytokine levels.
  • Both drugs limited foam cell formation and mitochondrial ROS production.

Takeaway

This study shows that two drugs can help stop bad changes in immune cells that happen when they are exposed to a harmful substance in the blood.

Methodology

Healthy monocytes were treated with OxLDL, with or without Mdivi-1 or S1QEL, and assessed for various metabolic and inflammatory responses.

Participant Demographics

Healthy monocytes isolated from participants.
