Chemokines and their role in airway hyper-reactivity
Airway hyper-reactivity is a characteristic feature of many inflammatory lung diseases and is defined as an exaggerated degree of airway narrowing. Chemokines and their receptors are involved in several pathological processes that are believed to contribute to airway hyper-responsiveness, including recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells, collagen deposition and airway wall remodeling....
متن کاملRole of chemokines in asthmatic airway inflammation.
The incidence of asthma worldwide has increased significantly over the past two decades, especially in young children and in inner cities. Although there are several contributing factors that promote severe asthmatic responses, uncontrolled inflammation leads to the most severe consequences. Chemokines are an interesting target for decreasing the inflammatory response and therefore altering the...
متن کاملChemokines and Their Role in Dopaminergic Development
The main pathological hallmark in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), affecting movements such as walking, talking and writing. Today, there is no cure available for PD and existing treatments only provide symptomatic relief, but the prospect of using stem cell based cell replacement therapies for patients with PD have prov...
متن کاملRole of Airway Epithelium-Origin Chemokines and their Receptors in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized with the chronic airway inflammation associated with progressive obstruction of airflow. Airway epithelial cells play an essential role of development in COPD. Chemokines as extracellular signaling proteins have been suggested to be involved in the inflammatory process of COPD. The present review summarized the variation of chemokine...
متن کاملThe role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in mycosis fungoides
Background: Chemokines are a family of cytokines initially characterized by their capacity to induce chemotaxis, or directed leukocyte migrations. These receptors are activated by chemotactic cytokines called chemokines. Interactions between chemokines and chemokine receptors also are involved in tumorigenesis, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells.Methods: An English literature search...
