Inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha enhances nerve growth factor production in human keratinocytes, HaCaT cells.
The skin lesions of inflammatory skin diseases (e.g., atopic dermatitis or psoriasis) accompany infiltration of inflammatory cells like macrophages, where abnormal sensory innervations and elevation of nerve growth factor (NGF) level are observed. It is thought that increased NGF mediates the abnormal innervations and this may cause the hypersensitivity of the skin. However, the mechanism of th...
متن کاملNerve growth factor in human semen: Effect of nerve growth factor on the normozoospermic men during cryopreservation process
Objective(s):Althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. Adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm DNA fragmentation and infertility. The post-thaw survival of sperm...
متن کاملNerve growth factor inhibits sympathetic neurons' response to an injury cytokine.
Axonal damage to adult peripheral neurons causes changes in neuronal gene expression. For example, axotomized sympathetic, sensory, and motor neurons begin to express galanin mRNA and protein, and recent evidence suggests that galanin plays a role in peripheral nerve regeneration. Previous studies in sympathetic and sensory neurons have established that galanin expression is triggered by two co...

متن کاملLeukemia inhibitory factor is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic cytokine.
The mRNA for leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), a neuroimmune signaling molecule, is elevated during skin inflammation produced by intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). Moreover, although LIF knock-out mice display normal sensitivity to cutaneous mechanical and thermal stimulation compared with wild-type mice, the degree of CFA-induced inflammation in mice lacking LIF is en...
