Curcumin Alleviates Ochratoxin A-Induced Oxidative Injury in Porcine Kidney Epithelial Cells in Association with Restored Nrf2/NQO1/HO-1-Related Antioxidant Expression

Ochratoxin A (OTA) damages renal epithelial cells and disrupts redox homeostasis. We examined whether curcumin (Cur) reduces OTA-induced injury in porcine kidney epithelial PK-15 cells and whether protection accompanies changes in antioxidant expression. Preliminary concentration screening gave an OTA half-maximal inhi...

Acetylharpagide mitigates the detrimental impact of the duck tembusu virus on BHK-21 cells through the inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum apoptosis pathway.

These findings firstly demonstrate the antiviral activities of AHPG against DTMUV, suggesting AHPG possesses mild anti-DTMUV activity and prominent cytoprotective effects against DTMUV-induced cell injury, which renders it a promising cytoprotective candidate for alleviating DTMUV-triggered cellular damage.
