Increased expression of interleukin 6 mRNA in cardiac myxomas.
In three patients with cardiac myxoma increased expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) mRNA was found in the myxoma tissue by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridisation. These cases suggest that IL-6 is overproduced in the myxoma tissue and secreted into the systemic circulatory system. This might contribute to the systemic inflammatory or autoimmune manifestations seen in cardiac my...
متن کاملDetection of Interleukin-19 mRNA in C57BL/6 Mice Astroglial Cells and Brain Cortex
Introduction: Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type. In addition to their neurological roles, astrocytes also have immune functions. They have been involved in antigen presentation in the central nervous system (CNS). Activated astrocytes express adhesion molecules, chemokines and release several inflammatory mediators, pro-inflammatory cytokines, neurotrophic and neuroprotective fac...
متن کاملMolecular Basis of Cardiac Myxomas
Cardiac tumors are rare, and of these, primary cardiac tumors are even rarer. Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 100 times more common than the primary tumors. About 90% of primary cardiac tumors are benign, and of these the most common are cardiac myxomas. Approximately 12% of primary cardiac tumors are completely asymptomatic while others present with one or more signs and symptoms of the cl...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 and interleukin-10 plasma levels and mRNA expression in polytrauma patients
PURPOSE Host response to polytrauma occasionally has unpredictable outcomes. Immune response is a major factor influencing patient's outcome. This study evaluated the interaction of two main cytokines in immune response after major trauma, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Plasma level of these cytokines is determined by mRNA expression of these cytokines genes which...
متن کاملIncreased litter size and suckling intensity inhibit KiSS-1 mRNA expression in rat arcuate nucleus
Objective(s): The effect of litter size and suckling intensity on the expression of KiSS-1 mRNA in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of rats were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Thirty two pregnant and four non-lactating ovariectomized (as control group) rats were used in this experiment. Lactating rats were allotted to eight equal groups. In three groups, litter size was adjusted to 5, 10, or 15 pup...
