Inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms and increased risk of Parkinson disease.
BACKGROUND The proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and IL-1beta (interleukin 1beta) have a role in neuroinflammation, and functional polymorphisms in the TNF-alpha and IL-1beta genes may affect susceptibility to Parkinson disease (PD). OBJECTIVE To investigate whether functional DNA polymorphisms of the TNF-alpha and IL-1beta genes affect the risk of PD. DESIGN...
متن کاملInflammatory bowel disease: the role of inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms.
The mechanisms responsible for development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have not been fully elucidated, although the main cause of disease pathology is attributed to up-regulated inflammatory processes. The aim of this study was to investigate frequencies of polymorphisms in genes encoding pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers in IBD patients and controls. We determined genotype...
متن کاملEffect of Cyperus Rotundus on Cytokine Gene Expression in Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background: The protective effect of the chloroform extract of Cyperus rotundus (CHCR) is attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Cytokines, important regulators of inflammation and repair, play a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Targeting these cytokines can effectively ameliorate the symptoms of IBD. The aim of the present study was to ...
متن کاملProinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms in hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically-mediated lung disease caused by repeated inhalation of dispersed antigen. Various cytokines have been reported to be involved in the immunopathogenesis of HP Recently, some reports suggested an association between the genetic control of cytokine production and disease susceptibility. To evaluate whether cytokine gene polymorphisms are asso...
متن کاملCytokine gene polymorphisms in autoimmune thyroid disease.
Susceptibility to the autoimmune thyroid diseases, Graves' disease (GD) and autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIH), depends on a complex interaction between environmental and genetic factors. The human leukocyte antigen and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated-4 regions appear to influence susceptibility to disease, but the effect is not major, and the other genes remain unknown. Cytokines are crucial in...
