Nociceptor Sensitization by Proinflammatory Cytokines And Chemokines
Cytokines are small proteins with a molecular mass lower than 30 kDa. They are produced and secreted on demand, have a short life span and only travel over short distances if not released into the blood circulation. In addition to the classical interleukins and the chemotactic chemokines, growth factors like VEGF or FGF and the colony stimulating factors are also considered cytokines since they...
متن کاملEpac and nociceptor sensitization
Abstract Primary sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the peripheral to the central nervous system. Their responses to incoming stimulation become greatly enhanced and prolonged following inflammation, giving rise to exaggerated nociceptive responses and chronic pain. The inflammatory mediator, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), released from the inflamed tissue surro...
متن کاملFollicular Proinflammatory Cytokines and Chemokines as Markers of IVF Success
Cytokines are key modulators of the immune system and also contribute to regulation of the ovarian cycle. In this study, Bender MedSystems FlowCytomix technology was used to analyze follicular cytokines (proinflammatory: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, IFN-γ, IFN-α, TNF-α, IL-12, and IL-23;, and anti-inflammatory: G-CSF), chemokines (MIP-1α, MIP-1β, MCP-1, RANTES, and IL-8), and other biomarkers (sAPO-1/Fa...
متن کاملNociceptor sensitization by extracellular signal-regulated kinases.
Inflammatory pain, characterized by a decrease in mechanical nociceptive threshold (hyperalgesia), arises through actions of inflammatory mediators, many of which sensitize primary afferent nociceptors via G-protein-coupled receptors. Two signaling pathways, one involving protein kinase A (PKA) and one involving the epsilon isozyme of protein kinase C (PKCepsilon), have been implicated in prima...
متن کاملInhibition of Nitric Oxide Production and Proinflammatory Cytokines by Several Medicinal Plants
Background: A number of medicinal plants have been used to treat various immunological diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) has an important regulatory role in the various types of inflammatory processes. Objective: To investigate the NO modulatory activity of the extracts of several medicinal plants native to Iran including Dracocephalum kotschyi, Linum persicum, Dionysia termeana, Salvia mirzayanii, F...
