Methylene Blue incorporated into colloidal oxidized polypyrrole was investigated by absorption spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis. The absorption spectra of Methylene Blue and polypyrrole were unaffected by incorporation. Flash photolysis transients of Methylene Blue and triplet Methylene Blue in ethanol were affected by 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-benzoquinol but not by the long-chain naphthoquinone Vitamin K1. Incorporation of Methylene Blue in polypyrrole produced distinct changes in the flash photolysis transients of Methylene Blue and triplet Methylene Blue. Very long-lived transients, with lifetimes of the order of 10 ms, were observed. These effects were accompanied by long-lived changes in the absorption spectrum of Methylene Blue. The transients were modified by the addition of 1,4-benzoquinone but not 1,4-benzoquinol. The results indicate photochemical reduction of oxidized polypyrrole by triplet Methylene Blue with the production of stable long-lived species capable of reducing 1,4-benzoquinone.

Saturated fatty acid (SFA) induces proinflammatory response through a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated mechanism, which is associated with cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction. Consistent with this notion, TLR2 or TLR4 knockout mice are protected from obesity-induced proinflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction. Although SFA causes endothelial dysfunction through TLR-mediated signaling pathways, the mechanisms underlying SFA-stimulated inflammatory response are not completely understood. To understand the proinflammatory response in vascular endothelial cells in high-lipid conditions, we compared the proinflammatory responses stimulated by palmitic acid (PA) and other canonical TLR agonists [lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Pam3-Cys-Ser-Lys4 (Pam3CSK4), or macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2)] in human aortic endothelial cells. The expression profiles of E-selectin and the signal transduction pathways stimulated by PA were distinct from those stimulated by canonical TLR agonists. Inhibition of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) by a pharmacological inhibitor or knockdown of ACSL1 blunted the PA-stimulated, but not the LPS- or Pam3CSK4-stimulated proinflammatory responses. Furthermore, triacsin C restored the insulin-stimulated vasodilation, which was impaired by PA. From the results, we concluded that PA stimulates the proinflammatory response in the vascular endothelium through an ACSL1-mediated mechanism, which is distinct from LPS- or Pam3CSK4-stimulated responses. The results suggest that endothelial dysfunction caused by PA may require to undergo intracellular metabolism. This expands the understanding of the mechanisms by which TLRs mediate inflammatory responses in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.

AbstractNeonatal immune response is characterized by an uncompensated pro-inflammatory response that can lead to inflammation-related morbidity and increased susceptibility to infection. We investigated the effects of long-chain
