Elevated Levels of Interferon-inducible Protein-10 (IP)-10/CXCL10, but not of Interferon-γ, in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Mycobacterial strains are potent inducers of cytokines/chemokines by mononuclear phagocytes, which constitute an important cellular component of the first line of defense in the innate immune system. Interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein (IP-10 or CXCL10) is a potent chemoattractant; however, little is known about the IP-10 profiles attributable to the Th1 regulation associated with active tuber...
متن کاملRole of Interferon-γ-Inducible Protein (IP)-10/ (IP-10/CXCL10) in Ulcerative Colitis; A Review of the Present Status
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the colonic mucosa; it is of unknown etiology (Baumgart & Carding, 2007). UC clinically displays bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and weight loss, and often leads to a severe outcome since the therapeutic approaches, including corticosteroid and 5-aminosalicylic acid, are not always successful in inducing ...
متن کاملInterleukin-10 and Interferon-γ Levels in Patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Treated with Cryotherapy
AbstractPentavalent antimonials, as the 1st choice for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), have various side effects. Also, there are some reports of drug resistance. Due to its safety, cryotherapy can be a good alternative or complementary treatment in CL. The aim of this study was to explore the possible systemic immunological mechanisms of cryotherapy besides its local effects in ...
متن کاملHuman Interferon-γ–inducible Protein 10 (IP-10) Inhibits Constitutive Signaling of Kaposi's Sarcoma–associated Herpesvirus G Protein–coupled Receptor
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is encoded within the genome of Kaposi's sarcoma- associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8, a virus that may be involved in the pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma and primary effusion lymphomas. KSHV-GPCR exhibits constitutive signaling activity that causes oncogenic transformation. We report that human interferon (IFN)-gamma-inducible protein 10 (HuIP...
متن کاملPotential of interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 in improving tuberculosis diagnosis in HIV-infected patients.
In patients latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, immunosuppression significantly augments the risk of progression to active tuberculosis (TB) and TB is still one of the most frequent opportunistic infections worldwide. Prevention of TB in HIV-positive patients using the tuberculin skin testing (TST) followed by targeted preventive treatment is an effective strategy, but has thus f...
