PPAR Regulation of Inflammatory Signaling in CNS Diseases
Central nervous system (CNS) is an immune privileged site, nevertheless inflammation associates with many CNS diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear hormone receptors that regulate immune and inflammatory responses. Specific ligands for PPARalpha, gamma, and delta isoforms have proven effective in the animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzhe...
متن کاملP 96: Role of Thrombin in Inflammatory Central Nervous System (CNS) Diseases
Thrombin is a multifunctional enzyme which has key roles in coagulation cascade and inflammatory events. The pro-inflammatory functions of thrombin occur by different mechanisms including increasing mast cell degranulation, up-regulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and promoting the secretion of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Dysregulated signaling functions of thro...
متن کاملPPAR agonists as therapeutics for CNS trauma and neurological diseases
Traumatic injury or disease of the spinal cord and brain elicits multiple cellular and biochemical reactions that together cause or are associated with neuropathology. Specifically, injury or disease elicits acute infiltration and activation of immune cells, death of neurons and glia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the secretion of substrates that inhibit axon regeneration. In some diseases, in...
متن کاملInflammatory Diseases of the CNS I: Encephalitis
Introduction Intracranial infections involving the bones of the skull or spine (osteomyelitis), the extradural compartments, the pachymeninges (dura), subdural space, leptomeninges and subarachnoid space are mainly caused by bacteria and occasionally by fungi and viruses (leptomeningitis). The organisms that infect the CNS itself (the brain and the spinal cord) are mainly viruses and bacteria, ...
متن کاملThe role of the complement system in CNS inflammatory diseases.
Complement is an important component of both the innate and adaptive immune response that contributes to host defense in a variety of mechanisms, including inflammation, phagocytosis and cell lysis. Complement proteins are produced by all cell types in the CNS, and the same effector functions that protect the host from pathogens can mediate inflammation and tissue destruction in CNS diseases, l...
