MicroRNAs and other mechanisms regulate interleukin-17 cytokines and receptors.
Interleukin-17 cytokines are a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our current studies found: i) IL-17 cytokines are not ubiquitously expressed, but several receptors and TRAF3IP2 are ubiquitously expressed in tissues with a few exceptions; ii) heart and vascular tissue are in the second tier of readiness to respond to IL-17 cytokine stimulation; iii) alternative transcription starting sites ...
متن کاملInterleukin-17 family and IL-17 receptors.
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-cells. Recently discovered related molecules are forming a family of cytokines, the IL-17 family. The prototype member of the family has been designated IL-17A. Due to recent advances in the human genome sequencing and proteomics five additional members have been identified and cloned: IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E a...
متن کاملTargeting interleukin-17 receptors
During the last decade, increasing evidence suggests a strong association between chronic inflammation and cancer development among different types of cancer. The dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines or their receptors is a common feature observed in many cancers [1]. Cancer cells take advantage of cytokine or cytokine receptor overexpression to benefit their own growth or invasive capac...
متن کاملExploring the role of Th1 cytokines: interleukin-17 and interleukin-18 in periodontal health and disease.
There are conflicting data regarding the role of interleukin (IL)-17 in periodontal health and disease. However, IL-18 levels are known to increase with the severity of periodontal disease. The present study was performed to explore the role of these proinflammatory cytokines in periodontal disease progression, and also to clarify the effect of periodontal treatment on their concentration. Sixt...
متن کاملMicroRNAs regulate neuronal plasticity and are involved in pain mechanisms
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as master regulators of gene expression in the nervous system where they contribute not only to brain development but also to neuronal network homeostasis and plasticity. Their function is the result of a cascade of events including miRNA biogenesis, target recognition, and translation inhibition. It has been suggested that miRNAs are major switches of the genome...
