Interferon-γ Inhibits Ebola Virus Infection
Ebola virus outbreaks, such as the 2014 Makona epidemic in West Africa, are episodic and deadly. Filovirus antivirals are currently not clinically available. Our findings suggest interferon gamma, an FDA-approved drug, may serve as a novel and effective prophylactic or treatment option. Using mouse-adapted Ebola virus, we found that murine interferon gamma administered 24 hours before or after ...
متن کاملCurcumin inhibits interferon-γ signaling in colonic epithelial cells.
Curcumin (diferulolylmethane) is an anti-inflammatory phenolic compound found effective in preclinical models of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and in ulcerative colitis patients. Pharmacokinetics of curcumin and its poor systemic bioavailability suggest that it targets preferentially intestinal epithelial cells. The intestinal epithelium, an essential component of the gut innate defense mec...
متن کاملEndogenous blood maximal interferon-γ production may predict response to interferon-γ 1β treatment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an untreatable lung disorder with a mean survival of 3 years after diagnosis. Treatment with interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) 1β has been reported to significantly improve lung function and arterial oxygen saturation in a first randomized controlled trial; unexpectedly, these findings have not been confirmed in a subsequent large placebo-controlled ran...
متن کاملDevelopment of interferon γ-based immunocytokines targeting renal cancer
Advanced renal cancer is an incurable malignancy in need of novel therapeutic avenues. We have generated interferon γ (IFNγ)-based fusion antibodies (immunocytokines) that target CD70, a putative biomarker of renal cancer. These immunocytokines efficiently labeled renal cancer cells, and, when combined with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, killed them by activating a RIP1-dependent necrotic...
متن کاملSuramin inhibits renal fibrosis in chronic kidney disease.
The activation of cytokine and growth factor receptors associates with the development and progression of renal fibrosis. Suramin is a compound that inhibits the interaction of several cytokines and growth factors with their receptors, but whether suramin inhibits the progression of renal fibrosis is unknown. Here, treatment of cultured renal interstitial fibroblasts with suramin inhibited thei...
