The Pathophysiological Role of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Inflammatory Diseases.
Neutrophil pathogen-killing mechanism termed neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been recently identified. NETs consist of chromatin and histones along with serine proteases and myeloperoxidase and are induced by a great variety of infectious and non-infectious stimuli. NETosis is a kind of programmed neutrophil death characterized by chromatin decondensation and release of nuclear granul...
متن کاملInflammatory responses and inflammation-associated diseases in organs
Inflammation is a biological response of the immune system that can be triggered by a variety of factors, including pathogens, damaged cells and toxic compounds. These factors may induce acute and/or chronic inflammatory responses in the heart, pancreas, liver, kidney, lung, brain, intestinal tract and reproductive system, potentially leading to tissue damage or disease. Both infectious and non...
متن کاملPeripheral blood smear in infection and inflammatory diseases
Peripheral blood smear study is very useful tool in early diagnosis of some infection and inflammatory diseases. In present article morphological changes of blood cells will be discussed in general infection and in viral infection such as HIV, H1N1 influenza and parvovirus B19. Physiologic and emergency granulopoesis will also be discussed.
متن کاملChemokine regulation of neutrophil function in surgical inflammation.
BACKGROUND Morbidity and even mortality correlate closely with major injury that causes a systemic inflammatory response. Cytokines and bioactive molecules present at the inflammatory site induce this response and regulate neutrophil proinflammatory responses. The CXC chemokines, important for neutrophil recruitment and activation, include interleukin 8 (IL-8), granulocyte chemotactic protein 2...
متن کاملRole of Interleukin-37 in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases
Interleukin-1 family 7 (IL-1F7) is a novel member of IL-1F cytokines. IL-1F7 is more commonly known as IL-37. IL-37 join the α-subunit of the IL-18 receptor, or IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), and binding of these proteins can enhance the IL-18 suppression. IL-37 also translocates to the cell nucleus and affects gene transcription. IL-37 inhibits the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated pr...
