Progressive Insight into Tumor Promotion with Proinflammatory Cytokines

Progressive Insight into Tumor Promotion with Pro-inflammatory Cytokines

IL-1β on mouse skin [2,3]; The study of tumor promotion by both okadaic acid and TPA revealed that TNF-α is an essential tumor promoter in TNF-α-deficient mouse skin initiated with DMBA [3]; Inhibitors of PP1 and PP2A induced tumor promotion on mouse skin, in rat glandular stomach and rat liver initiated with carcinogens [4]; TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-1β induced clonal growth of v-Ha-ras-transfected ...

Proinflammatory Cytokines in Peritonitis

RATIONALE We performed this study with the purpose of revealing different aspects of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in peritonitis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the presentation was to make a research on some of the immune response mediators in secondary peritonitis and to observe their capacity to anticipate the evolution towards septic complications. METHODS AND RESULTS We have unde...

Role of cytokines and chemokines in alcohol-induced tumor promotion

Excessive chronic alcohol consumption has become a worldwide health problem. The oncogenic effect of chronic alcohol consumption is one of the leading concerns. The mechanisms of alcohol-induced tumorigenesis and tumor progression are largely unknown, although many factors have been implicated in the process. This review discusses the recent progress in this research area with concentration on ...

Mitophagy: New Insight into the Cardiovascular Aging  

Proinflammatory cytokines in patients with neuropathic pain treated with Tramadol.

BACKGROUND AND METHODS Proinflammatory cytokines play an important role in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain syndromes. The objective of this study was to evaluate plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines before and after treatment with tramadol in patients with herniated intervertebral disks and carpal tunnel syndrome, and to compare them with normal individuals. METHODS Thirty-eight...
