Interleukin Expression after Injury and the Effects of Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist
Ligament healing follows a series of complex coordinated events involving various cell types, cytokines, as well as other factors, producing a mechanically inferior tissue more scar-like than native tissue. Macrophages provide an ongoing source of cytokines to modulate inflammatory cell adhesion and migration as well as fibroblast proliferation. Studying interleukins inherent to ligament healin...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist.
IL-1ra is the first described naturally occurring receptor antagonist of any cytokine or hormone-like molecule. IL-1ra is a member of the IL-1 family by three criteria: amino acid sequence homology of 26 to 30% to IL-1 beta and 19% to IL-1 alpha; similarities in gene structure; and common gene localization to human chromosome 2q14. Two structural variants of IL-1ra exist: sIL-1ra, a secretory m...
متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...
متن کاملCytotoxic and apoptotic effects of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) antagonist on multiple myeloma cells
Background and Aim: Despite therapeutic improvements in recent decades, multiple myeloma (MM) still remains as one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Previous studies have indicated role of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) in the pathogenesis of cancer. Therefore, we decided to evaluate cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of aprepitant (NK1R antagonist) on MM-derived KMM-1 cell line. Ma...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist prevents murine bronchopulmonary dysplasia induced by perinatal inflammation and hyperoxia.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common lung disease of premature infants, with devastating short- and long-term consequences. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial, but all triggers cause pulmonary inflammation. No therapy exists; therefore, we investigated whether the anti-inflammatory interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) prevents murine BPD. We precipitated BPD by perinatal in...
