Absence of macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha prevents the development of blinding herpes stromal keratitis.
Prior studies in our laboratory have suggested that the CC chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) may be an important mediator in the blinding ocular inflammation which develops following herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection of the murine cornea. To directly test this hypothesis, MIP-1alpha-deficient (-/-) mice and their wild-type (+/+) counterparts were infected...
متن کاملHeme Cytotoxicity and the Pathogenesis of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases
Heme, iron (Fe) protoporphyrin IX, functions as a prosthetic group in a range of hemoproteins essential to support life under aerobic conditions. The Fe contained within the prosthetic heme groups of these hemoproteins can catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species. Presumably for this reason, heme must be sequestered within those hemoproteins, thereby shielding the reactivity of its Fe...
متن کاملActivated inflammatory infiltrate in HSV-1-infected corneas without herpes stromal keratitis.
PURPOSE To investigate herpes stromal keratitis (HSK) immunopathology by studying HSV-1-infected corneas that fail to develop HSK. METHODS Plaque assay quantified HSV-1 in the tear film of infected mice. FACS analysis enumerated corneal leukocytic infiltrate and characterized infiltrate phenotypically after staining for activation and regulatory T cell (Treg) markers and for markers of antige...
متن کاملInflammatory Bowel Disease: Autoimmune or Immune-mediated Pathogenesis?
The pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is still unclear, but both autoimmune and immune-mediated phenomena are involved. Autoimmune phenomena include the presence of serum and mucosal autoantibodies against intestinal epithelial cells in either form of IBD, and against human tropomyosin fraction five selectiv...
متن کاملSystemic inflammatory response reactivates immune-mediated lesions in rat brain.
The potential association between microbial infection and reactivation of a multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion is an important issue that remains unresolved, primarily because of the absence of suitable animal models and imaging techniques. Here, we have evaluated this question in an empirical manner using immunohistochemistry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), before and after the induction of ...
