COVID-19: combining antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatments
The high affinity of baricitinib for the numb-associated kinase (NAK) family, its anti-inflammatory properties, with its advantageous pharmacokinetic properties, appear to make it a special case among the approved drugs. In addition, the potential for combination therapy with baracitinib is high, because of its low plasma protein binding and minimal interaction with CYP enzymes and drug transp...
متن کاملTargeting the "cytokine storm" for therapeutic benefit.
Inflammation is the body's first line of defense against infection or injury, responding to challenges by activating innate and adaptive responses. Microbes have evolved a diverse range of strategies to avoid triggering inflammatory responses. However, some pathogens, such as the influenza virus and the Gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis, do trigger life-threatening "cytokine storms...
متن کاملMicroRNA-132 potentiates cholinergic anti-inflammatory signaling by targeting acetylcholinesterase.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to both neuronal and immune cell fate, but their involvement in intertissue communication remained unexplored. The brain, via vagal secretion of acetylcholine (ACh), suppresses peripheral inflammation by intercepting cytokine production; therefore, we predicted that microRNAs targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) can attenuate inflammation. Here, we report that inf...
متن کاملCholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway Dysfunction of the Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway Mediates Organ Damage in Hypertension
Inflammatory responses are associated with the genesis and progression of end-organ damage (EOD) in hypertension. A role for the 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ( 7nAChR) in inflammation has recently been identified. We tested the hypothesis that 7nAChR dysfunction contributes to hypertensive EOD. In both spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and rats with abdominal aorta coarctation–induce...
متن کاملControlling inflammation: the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
Innate immune responses and inflammation are regulated in part by neural mechanisms. In the present paper, we summarize experimental evidence that reveals that innate immunity and inflammation are controlled by the vagus nerve, previously known as a regulator of other vital physiological functions. Activation of vagus nerve cholinergic signalling inhibits TNF (tumour necrosis factor) and other ...
