Vitamin C prevents S. aureus infections of endothelial cells through its interaction with specific residues in the active site of gC1qR/p33 involved in direct entry, notably SER230, ASN345, ILE348, TYR224, ASN346, SER347, and GLU438, and its potential inhibitory effects on FnBPs, α5β1, and Protein A molecules

Combination therapy of metformin with sodium selenite reverses effects of monotherapy on nitric oxide production, IL-1β and TNF-α release, and upregulates relative expression of Bcl-2 by LPS-activated human primary monocytes in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

This study shows that combining metformin and sodium selenite reduces NO, IL-1β, and TNF-α release while increasing Bcl-2 expression in T-ALL monocytes.

Phenotypic functional activities of monocyte change during crosstalk with breast cancer cell and enhancing effect of metformin of IFN-γ-associated antitumor cytokine production.

This study examines how metformin affects monocyte function during interaction with breast cancer cells, showing increased IFN-γ production and reduced tumor cell proliferation.
