Experiments using specific inhibitors of the ATP-gated channel receptor P2X7 or its functional ligand ATP, suggest that the enhanced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines seems to be mediated b
The human and pig origin of strains does not seem to affect the intensity of the response; indeed, a very heterogeneous pattern of cytokine and chemokine production was observed for the different strains tested in this study. In situ production of cytokines and chemokines by BMEC may be the ...
Interferon gamma plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or tumor necrosis factor α alone are known to induce classical macrophage activation that is characterized by an increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (such as interleukin (IL)-1β), an augmented production of inducible nitric ...
What are Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines? Cytokine is a general term used for small secreted proteins that are key modulators of inflammation. Cytokines are produced in response to invading pathogens to stimulate, recruit, and proliferate immune cells. Cytokines includes inte...
Cytokines are produced in response to invading pathogens to stimulate, recruit, and proliferate immune cells. Cytokines includes interleukins (IL), chemokines, interferons, and tumor necrosis factors (TNF). Cytokines are subdivided based on the nature of the immune respo...
Although Stat4 has been most extensively investigated as a critical mediator for several pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-12 and type I interferon in T lymphocytes, it was unknown whether it had any role in vasculogenesis. Several studies have provided clues that the Stat4-...
TLRs are highly conserved proteins and have leucine-rich repeats (LRR) in the extracellular part and Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) within cytoplasm, which is capable of initiating the innate immune response (Taverna et al.2022). Interaction between TLRs and HMGB1 triggers cytokines and chemokines sec...
IgG and IgM against parasite lysate, merozoite antigens and P. falciparum antigens on the surface of IEs, as well as plasma cytokines and chemokines, were compared between children with different clinical presentations of SM and children with UM, matched by sex and age....
B cells can be activated by products of altered lipolysis in the expanding adipose tissue to release pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, thus contributing to local and systemic inflammation and to the recruitment of immune cells to the VAT (Nikolajczyk, 2010, Nikolajczyk et al., 2011)....
