Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) Family Members in Helminth Infections
Helminth parasites are a diverse group of multicellular organisms. Despite their heterogeneity, helminths share many common characteristics, such as the modulation of the immune system of their hosts towards a permissive state that favors their development. They induce strong Th2-like responses with high levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, and decreased production of proinflammatory cytok...
متن کاملAn orphan receptor tyrosine kinase family whose members serve as nonintegrin collagen receptors.
Mammalian cells constantly monitor and respond to a myriad of extracellular signals, often by using cell surface receptors. Two important classes of cell surface receptors include the receptor tyrosine kinases, which recognize peptide growth factors such as insulin, and the integrins, which most often mediate binding to components of the extracellular matrix. We report that the collagens serve ...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide is involved in collagen-induced platelet activation.
In this study, we investigated whether (1) collagen-induced platelet aggregation is associated with a burst of H2O2, (2) this oxidant species is involved in the activation of platelets, and (3) the pathways of platelet activation are stimulated by H2O2. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation was associated with production of H2O2, which was abolished by catalase, an enzyme that destroys H2O2. H2...
متن کاملHyperglycemia potentiates collagen-induced platelet activation through mitochondrial superoxide overproduction.
Alteration of platelet function contributes to microthrombus formation and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic micro- and macroangiopathies. However, the molecular mechanism for platelet dysfunction observed in patients with diabetes has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the direct effects of hyperglycemia on platelet function in vitro were investigated. Hyperglyc...
متن کاملIFN regulatory factor-1-mediated transcriptional activation of mouse STAT-induced STAT inhibitor-1 gene promoter by IFN-gamma.
STAT-induced STAT inhibitor-1 (SSI-1), also referred to as suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 and JAK-binding protein, is a member of a new family, the members of which are negative regulators of cytokine signals. SSI-1 is induced by various cytokines; however, the transcriptional mechanism of the SSI-1 gene is not fully understood. Here, we showed that transcription of the mouse SSI-1 gene was...
