Divergent roles of nitrergic and prostanoid pathways in chronic joint inflammation.
BACKGROUND Nitrergic and prostanoid pathways have both been implicated in inflammatory processes. OBJECTIVE To investigate their respective contributions in a rat model of chronic arthritis. METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 4-6/group) received either an intra-articular injection of 2% carrageenan/4% kaolin (C/K) or intra- and periarticular injections of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA; 10 mg/m...
متن کاملCombined inhibition of nitrergic and prostanoid pathways in J774 macrophages.
OBJECTIVES Nitric oxide and prostaglandins are both implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The hypothesis that simultaneous inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) was more effective than inhibition of either enzyme alone was tested. METHODS J774 macrophages were pre-incubated with L-NAME and/or indomethacin, pri...
متن کاملDivergent Pro- and Antiinflammatory Roles for IL-23 and IL-12 in Joint Autoimmune Inflammation
Interleukin (IL) 23 is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of a p19 subunit and the p40 subunit of IL-12. IL-23 affects memory T cell and inflammatory macrophage function through engagement of a novel receptor (IL-23R) on these cells. Recent analysis of the contribution of IL-12 and IL-23 to central nervous system autoimmune inflammation demonstrated that IL-23 rather than IL-12 was the essential...
متن کاملThe Effect of Chronic Inflammation on Knee Joint Vascular β-adrenoceptors in Rabbit
It has been shown that inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow, and the joint vascular- ß adrenoceptors are changed due to acute inflammation from a majority of ß-1 to an equality of ß-1 and ß-2 receptors.. To investigate the role of sympathetic nerves in nerve induced vasoconstriction and changes in joint vascular ß-adrenoceptors ...
متن کاملMolecular pathways: the complex roles of inflammation pathways in the development and treatment of liver cancer.
Inflammatory signals from the surrounding microenvironment play important roles in tumor promotion. Key inflammatory mediators and pathways that induce and sustain tumorigenesis have recently been identified in many different cancers. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a paradigm for inflammation-induced cancer, as it most frequently develops in the setting of chronic hepatitis, consecutive cellular d...
