Elevated Levels of Interferon-inducible Protein-10 (IP)-10/CXCL10, but not of Interferon-γ, in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Mycobacterial strains are potent inducers of cytokines/chemokines by mononuclear phagocytes, which constitute an important cellular component of the first line of defense in the innate immune system. Interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein (IP-10 or CXCL10) is a potent chemoattractant; however, little is known about the IP-10 profiles attributable to the Th1 regulation associated with active tuber...
متن کاملHuman Interferon-γ–inducible Protein 10 (IP-10) Inhibits Constitutive Signaling of Kaposi's Sarcoma–associated Herpesvirus G Protein–coupled Receptor
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is encoded within the genome of Kaposi's sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8, a virus that may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphomas. KSHV-GPCR exhibits constitutive signaling activity that causes oncogenic transformation. We report that human interferon (IFN)-gamma-inducible protein 10 (HuIP...
متن کاملSecretion of biologically active interferon-gamma inducible protein-10 (IP-10) by Lactococcus lactis
BACKGROUND Chemokines are a large group of chemotactic cytokines that regulate and direct migration of leukocytes, activate inflammatory responses, and are involved in many other functions including regulation of tumor development. Interferon-gamma inducible-protein-10 (IP-10) is a member of the C-X-C subfamily of the chemokine family of cytokines. IP-10 specifically chemoattracts activated T l...
متن کاملRole of Interferon-γ-Inducible Protein (IP)-10/ (IP-10/CXCL10) in Ulcerative Colitis; A Review of the Present Status
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the colonic mucosa; it is of unknown etiology (Baumgart & Carding, 2007). UC clinically displays bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss, and often leads to a severe outcome since the therapeutic approaches, including corticosteroid and 5-aminosalicylic acid, are not always successful in inducing ...
متن کاملBIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A y INTERFERON-INDUCIBLE CYTOKINE (IP-10)
The cellular immune response is characterized by the complex interaction of many different cells responding to multiple extracellular signals. Activation, proliferation, and directed migration of both local and blood-borne cells is partly regulated by soluble mediators released by cells, referred to collectively as cytokines. IFN-y, a glycoprotein secreted from activated T cells, has potent imm...
