Chemokines and cardiac fibrosis.
Several members of the chemokine family play an important role in reparative fibrosis and are involved in the pathogenesis of remodeling following myocardial infarction. Chemokines may regulate the fibrotic process through recruitment and activation of mononuclear cell subsets and fibroblast progenitors (fibrocytes), by exerting direct effects on resident fibroblasts, and by modulating angiogen...
متن کاملChemokines in liver inflammation and fibrosis.
Chemokines may be involved in the tissue response to injury regulating the influx of leukocytes, and modulating a number of other critical biologic actions, including angiogenesis, neoplastic growth, myo-fibroblast activation, and the response to viral infections. In the liver, up-regulated expression of different members of the chemokine system may be induced by almost all types of injury, and...
متن کاملThe role of chemokines and cytokines in lung fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) exhibits a complex and poorly understood pathogenesis. Overt inflammation in the lungs of patients with established IPF is absent, and classic anti-inflammatory therapies are inefficacious; however, inflammation may contribute to the disruption of the normal alveolar architecture, allowing interaction between fibroblasts and the epithelium. The polarisation o...
متن کاملCardiac Fibrosis
Heart failure, the clinical manifestation of numerous forms of cardiovascular disease, is a devastating disorder characterized by interstitial fibrosis, chamber remodeling, and reduced ventricular compliance. Heart disease remains the predominant cause of mortality in the United States, accounting for nearly 800 000 deaths per year. Furthermore, it presents a considerable economic burden, with ...
متن کاملCardiac Involvement in Mild Cystic Fibrosis Lung Involvement Assessed by Tissue‐Doppler Echocardiography
Background:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a systemic disease affecting extra pulmonary dysfunction as a result of CF-related lung disease. Because of lack of enough studies in this field and utilization of TDE in this field, we aimed to evaluate t...
