Review article: helminths as therapeutic agents for inflammatory bowel disease.
Over the last decade major advances have been made in our understanding of the mechanisms and mediators of inflammation that hold the promise of the development of new therapies for inflammatory disease. While much is to be gleaned from the application of new technologies, assessment of the age-old host-parasite relationship may also provide insights on how to counter pathological inflammatory ...
متن کاملSpecial Issue: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Intestinal Epithelial Stem Cells Brief Review Inflammatory bowel diseases and intestinal epithelial stem cells
Recent studies on human inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have brought our attention to continued epithelial injury and impaired epithelial regeneration as their key pathophysiological features. In order to develop a novel approach for the treatment of IBD, it is important to understand the ordered process of epithelial repair and the pivotal roles for the epithelial stem cells in this process....
متن کاملProstanoid synthesis by cultured intestinal epithelial and mononuclear cells in inflammatory bowel disease.
Intestinal epithelial and mononuclear cells were isolated from normal colonic mucosa and from intestinal mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease patients. Prostanoid synthesis by primary cultures of intestinal mononuclear cells were four to six fold higher than its synthesis by primary cultures of epithelial cells. Prostaglandin E2, prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 synthesis by cultured mononuclear...
متن کاملTnf-α: a Potential Therapeutic Target for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represents a group of chronic disorders characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, typically with a relapsing and remitting clinical course. Cytokines play a key role in the development, recurrence and exacerbation of the inflammatory process in IBD. Advances in the knowledge of ...
متن کاملReview Article Matrix Metalloproteinases in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Update
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to be upregulated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory conditions, but while their involvement is clear, their role in many settings has yet to be determined. Studies of the involvement of MMPs in IBD since 2006 have revealed an array of immune and stromal cells which release the proteases in response to inflammatory cytokines and...
