Elevated concentrations of eotaxin and interleukin-5 in human neurocysticercosis.
Symptomatic neurocysticercosis, a major cause of epilepsy worldwide, results from inflammation around Taenia solium larvae, but the mechanisms are unknown. Eotaxin, not previously reported in cases of human infection, and interleukin-5 (IL-5) but not IL-8 concentrations were elevated in patient serum, and IL-5 levels were also elevated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Eosinophil-selective mediator...
متن کاملInterleukin-5 and interleukin-10 are major cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with active neurocysticercosis.
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common neurological disorder especially in developing countries, caused by infection of the brain with encysted larvae of the tapeworm Taenia solium. Seizures are a common finding associated with this disease. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between the levels of various cytokines present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patien...
متن کاملP-77: Follicular Fluid Concentrations of Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, TNF-α and Interleukin 10 in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Women
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:504:"While the etiology of PCOS has continued to remain a mystery, there can be found some evidence in support of the presence of chronic low-grade inflammation in women with this syndrome. One of the most significant manifestations of chronic inflammation is Pro-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the pattern of proinfla...
متن کاملalpha4 integrin-dependent eotaxin induction of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and eosinophil migration in interleukin-5 transgenic mice.
We investigated the roles of eosinophil infiltration and activation induced by the eosinophil-selective chemokine eotaxin, and of the expression of eosinophil alpha4 and beta2 integrins in causing bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) in interleukin (IL)-5 CBA/Ca transgenic mice. These mice did not show BHR, despite the presence of some eosinophils in the lungs. Intratracheal mouse recombinant eo...
متن کاملInterleukin (IL)-5 downregulates tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced eotaxin messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in eosinophils. Induction of eotaxin mRNA by TNF and IL-5 in eosinophils.
An eotaxin is a chemoattractant specific for eosinophils that are known to play a role in helminth infection and allergic responses. Although several cellular sources have been reported to produce eotaxin, it would be interesting to know whether eosinophils are able to produce their own eotaxin and participate in recruitment of themselves in response to inflammation. To this end, a cloned eotax...
