Collagenase gene regulation by pro-inflammatory cytokines in cartilage.
The essentially irreversible degradation of articular cartilage collagen represents a key, rate-limiting process in arthritic diseases. This process is typically initiated as a consequence of an inflammatory response, and if left unchecked ultimately leads to loss of joint function, pain, disability and a need for joint replacement surgery. Although we have identified the enzymes capable of eff...
متن کاملNitric oxide-dependent regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines in group B streptococcal inflammation of rat lung.
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection leading to sepsis and lung injury is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Lung injury may result from overproduction of pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines), caused by nitric oxide (NO). Our objective was to characterize the molecular signaling events involving the pro-inflammatory mediators interleukin-6 (IL-6) and macrophage inflammatory p...
متن کاملThe Effect of MS14 on Production of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines by Macrophages
Objective(s) Using herbal medicines as a complementary treatment method is increasing in wide variety of diseases. MS14-an herbal-marine preparation-is reported to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities; however, the mechanism underlying its therapeutic effect is not known. Macrophages play an important role in host defense mechanisms and carry out their role by producing vario...
متن کاملInteraction between nutrients, pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammation.
An invasion of the body by micro-organisms and injury activates the immune system and brings about widespread metabolic changes. Both phenomena are closely interrelated and form part of a complex and co-ordinated response.The objectives of the response are to disadvantage and destroy the invading organism, repair damaged tissue and restore tissue function to normal. Activation of the immune sys...
متن کاملThe antidepressant venlafaxine ameliorates murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Antidepressants are known to impact on the immune system. In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory properties of venlafaxine, a selective serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a T-cell-mediated CNS demyelinating disease model of multiple sclerosis. EAE was induced in SJL/J mice by adoptive transfer of myelin-specifi...
