Associations between BODE Index and Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers in COPD
(2011)Background: COPD is a multicomponent disease and systemic inflammation represents one of the possible mechanisms responsible for its systemic manifestations, including skeletal muscle weakness and cachexia. Fat-free mass ... -
Baseline Values and Kinetics of IL-6, Procalcitonin, and TNF- α in Landrace-Large White Swine Anesthetized with Propofol-Based Total Intravenous Anesthesia
(2021)The baseline levels of various inflammatory mediators and their changes during anesthesia in swine are not known. The aim of this animal study was to measure the baseline values and kinetics of interleukin-6, procalcitonin, ... -
Blocking of interleukin-10 receptor - A novel approach to stimulate T-helper cell type 1 responses to hepatitis C virus
(2005)Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with weak CD4+ T-helper type 1 reactivity and enhanced interleukin-10 production to HCV antigens. Here we demonstrate in vitro that monoclonal antibody-induced blockade ... -
Cytokine effects on cell survival and death of A549 lung carcinoma cells
(2013)Purpose: IL-13, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta have various effects on lung cancer growth and death, but the signaling pathways mediating these effects have not been extensively analyzed. Therefore, the effects of IL-13, TNF-alpha ... -
Cytokines and pathological sleep
(2008)Cytokines are proteins produced by leukocytes and other cells that function as intercellular mediators acting on several target tissues, resulting in multiple biologic actions. Over the last decade, medical research has ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
Hepatitis D virus-specific cytokine responses in patients with chronic hepatitis delta before and during interferon alfa-treatment
(2011)Background: Hepatitis delta is caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV) and is considered the most severe form of viral hepatitis. Treatment options for hepatitis delta are limited, with only 25% of patients ... -
High serum levels of HIF-1 alpha in psoriatic patients correlate with an over-expression of IL-6
(2013)Angiogenesis has been considered to be an important step in the initiation and progression of chronic diseases such as psoriasis. The hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), a critical hypoxia-induced factor that ... -
IL-33/ST2 axis in organ fibrosis
(2018)Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is highly expressed in barrier sites, acting via the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 receptor (ST2). IL-33/ST2 axis has long been known to play a pivotal role in immunity and cell homeostasis by ... -
In Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction, the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl-Hydroxylase Inhibitor Roxadustat Suppresses Cellular and Humoral Alloimmunity
(2020)Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl-hydroxylase inhibitors are currently used for the treatment of renal anemia. Since HIF affects immune cells, we evaluated the effect of such a drug, the roxadustat, on adaptive immunity. ... -
MECHANISMS OF METAL FUME FEVER AND ITS PROVOCATION BY SELECTED METALS
(2012)Metal Fume Fever (MFF) is a constellation of influenza-like signs and symptoms, commonly occurring in workers operating galvanizing processes and welders. Its mechanism probably involves cytokine-driven activation of white ... -
Neurodegeneration and inflammation—an interesting interplay in parkinson’s disease
(2020)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, caused by, so far, unknown pathogenetic mechanisms. There is no doubt that pro-inflammatory immune-mediated mechanisms are pivotal to the pathogenicity and progression ... -
p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase impairment of innate immune cells is a characteristic feature of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B
(2020)The mitogen-activated protein kinase p38 (MAPK) is implicated in the induction of immune responses by regulating the differentiation of T lymphocytes and production of cytokines. Our aim was to investigate p38MAPK ... -
The role of B cells in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis
(2016)Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by extensive collagen deposition, microvasculopathy and autoantibodies. All three features can be promoted by activation of T cells and B cells. T cells are of Th2 type producing ... -

A sharp decrease of Th17, CXCR3+-Th17, and Th17.1 in peripheral blood is associated with an early anti-IL-17-mediated clinical remission in psoriasis
(2022)Psoriasis-an immune-mediated skin disease-implicates in its pathophysiology by circulating pro-inflammatory cell populations, cytokines, and their interactions with the epidermis. The direct effect of approved anti-interleukin- ... -
A single bout of downhill running transiently increases HOMA-IR without altering adipokine response in healthy adult women
(2013)Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage may cause marked alterations in insulin sensitivity. However, it is not entirely known whether such alterations are also related to changes in adipokine levels. The aim of this study ... -
The synergistic function of miR-140–5p and miR-146a on TLR4-mediated cytokine secretion in osteoarthritic chondrocytes
(2020)ΜiR-140–5p and miR-146a regulate inflammatory pathways including TLR4/NF-κB signaling and have been found to be involved in OA pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the effect of the synergistic function of miR-140–5p ... -
Th1/Th2 cytokine pattern in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and induced sputum in pulmonary sarcoidosis
(2005)Background: Sarcoidosis is thought to be a T-helper type 1 cytokine (Th2 cytokine) mediated disorder. Induced sputum (IS) has been proposed as a useful non-invasive method, mainly for the assessment of the airway diseases. ...
