Contribution of activated platelets to plasma IL-27 levels
a r ecent issue of Critical Care, Wong and colleagues [1] demonstrated that the serum concentration of IL-27 in critically ill children was a predictor of infection. Our study aims at determining whether platelet activation contributes to the elevated plasma IL-27 concentration. Here we demonstrate that activation of platelets with thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP) significantly incre...
متن کاملPlasma Interleukin-27 (IL-27) Levels Are Not Modulated in Patients with Chronic HIV-1 Infection
OBJECTIVE IL-27 is an immunomodulatory cytokine with potent anti-HIV properties in PBMCs, CD4+ T cells, macrophages and immature dendritic cells. Previous smaller studies have suggested that HIV-1 infection may alter IL-27 and influence HIV-1 pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between plasma IL-27 levels in a well-characterised cohort of HIV-1 infected patients....
متن کاملIncreased IL-17A but Decreased IL-27 Serum Levels in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Effector CD4+ T cell subsets play an important role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Interleukin-27 (IL-27) suppresses Th (Th1, Th2 and Th17) cells and dampens autoimmunity and tissue inflammation by promoting the generation of Type 1 regulatory T cells (Tr1). Objective: To identify the relative levels of IL-27 and IL-17A in MS disease. Method: In a case-control study, venous blood was c...
متن کاملContribution of Chondroitin Sulfate A to the Binding of Complement Proteins to Activated Platelets
BACKGROUND Exposure of chondroitin sulfate A (CS-A) on the surface of activated platelets is well established. The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent CS-A contributes to the binding of the complement recognition molecule C1q and the complement regulators C1 inhibitor (C1INH), C4b-binding protein (C4BP), and factor H to platelets. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Human blood serum wa...
متن کاملInteraction of platelet plasma membranes with thrombin-activated platelets.
This study described the binding of platelet plasma membranes to either control or thrombin-activated platelets. Glycoproteins in plasma membranes isolated from human platelets were labeled by oxidation with periodate followed by reduction with [3H]NaBH4. Labeled membranes were incubated with either control or thrombin-activated platelets. The amount of membranes bound was measured by separatin...
