Hepatic inflammatory mediators contribute to intestinal damage in necrotizing enterocolitis.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common and devastating gastrointestinal disease of premature infants. Along with pathological effects in the ileum, severe NEC is often accompanied by multisystem organ failure, including liver failure. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in hepatic cytokines and inflammatory mediators in experimental NEC. The well-established neonatal rat mod...
متن کاملSecretory versus degradative autophagy: unconventional secretion of inflammatory mediators.
Autophagy (macroautophagy) is often defined as a degradative process and a tributary of the lysosomal pathway. In this context, autophagy carries out cytoplasmic quality control and nutritional functions by removing defunct or disused organelles, particulate targets and invading microbes, and by bulk digestion of the cytoplasm. However, recent studies indicate that autophagy surprisingly affect...
متن کاملNerves and Intestinal Mast Cells Modulate Responses to Enterotoxins.
Experiments in intact animals exposed to enterotoxins demonstrate that neurons and immune cells of the lamina propria regulate toxin-induced diarrhea and tissue damage. Clostridium difficile toxins cause profound diarrhea and acute inflammation by activating a complex cascade initiated by toxin binding to enterocyte receptors.
متن کاملInflammatory mediators modulate thrombin and cathepsin-G signaling in human bronchial fibroblasts by inducing expression of proteinase-activated receptor-4.
Human lung fibroblasts express proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR1), PAR2 and PAR3, but not PAR4. Because PAR2 has inflammatory effects on human primary bronchial fibroblasts (HPBF), we asked 1) whether the inflammatory mediators TNF-alpha and LPS could modify HPBF PAR expression and 2) whether modified PAR expression altered HPBF responsiveness to PAR agonists in terms of calcium signaling a...
متن کاملDietary polyphenols can modulate the intestinal inflammatory response.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) arise from multiple causes, including environmental factors, gut microflora, immunity, and genetic predispositions. In the course of IBD, immune homeostasis and intestinal mucosa barrier integrity are impaired. Among natural preventive treatments that have been identified to date, polyphenols appear as promising candidates. They have been shown to protect again...
