CHEMOKINES, CYTOKINES, AND INTERLEUKINS Stat1 and SUMOmodification
Manyproteins are known to undergo small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) modification by an E1-, E2-, and E3-dependent ligation process. Recognition that protein inhibitor of activated signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) (PIAS) proteins are SUMO E3 ligases raised the possibility that STATsmay also be regulated by SUMOmodification. Consistent with this possibility, a SUMO...
متن کاملNociceptor Sensitization by Proinflammatory Cytokines And Chemokines
Cytokines are small proteins with a molecular mass lower than 30 kDa. They are produced and secreted on demand, have a short life span and only travel over short distances if not released into the blood circulation. In addition to the classical interleukins and the chemotactic chemokines, growth factors like VEGF or FGF and the colony stimulating factors are also considered cytokines since they...
متن کاملPeripheral cytokines and chemokines in Alzheimer's disease.
A chronic inflammatory process has been implicated in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present review focuses on the current knowledge of circulating serum and plasma biomarkers of AD that are linked to inflammatory reactions. There is abundant evidence that inflammatory mechanisms within the central nervous system contribute to cognitive impairment via cytokine-mediated inte...
متن کاملCytokines and Chemokines in Cerebral Malaria Pathogenesis
Cerebral malaria is among the major causes of malaria-associated mortality and effective adjunctive therapeutic strategies are currently lacking. Central pathophysiological processes involved in the development of cerebral malaria include an imbalance of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses to Plasmodium infection, endothelial cell activation, and loss of blood-brain barrier integrity. However,...
متن کاملImmunologic messenger molecules: cytokines, interferons, and chemokines.
Cytokines and chemokines are secreted proteins involved in numerous aspects of cell growth, differentiation, and activation. A prominent feature of these molecules is their effect on the immune system with regard to cell trafficking and development of immune tissue and organs. The nature of an immune response determines which cytokines are produced and ultimately whether the response is cytotox...
