Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (LGMD2B) is a mild form of dysferlinopathy, characterized by limb weakness and wasting. It is an autosomal recessive disease, with currently 140 mutations in the LGMD2B gene identified. Lack of functional dysferlin inhibits muscle fiber regeneration in voluntary muscles, the main pathological finding in LGMD2B patients. However, the immune system has been s...
متن کاملAnalysis of Serum Cytokine Profile in Pemphigus
BACKGROUND Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering diseases affecting skin and mucous membranes. While pemphigus is an autoantibody mediated disease, the role of T cells and cytokines in the pathogenesis is being increasingly recognized. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to observe alterations in the serum cytokine levels of patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus foliaceous (...
متن کاملCytokine serum profile in a group of Sicilian nonagenarians.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the possibility of using multiplex analysis of the cytokine profile as a marker for successful aging by comparing cytokine plasmatic levels of a group of Sicilian nonagenarians with those of young controls. We analyzed a panel of 17 cytokines, comprehensive of haematopoietic factors T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, inflammation regulatory cytokines, and chemokines. Th...
متن کاملSerum cytokine profile in pediatric Sweet’s syndrome: a case report
BACKGROUND Sweet's syndrome is characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and tender erythematous papules or nodules. It is a rare condition, particularly in the pediatric population, and has recently been proposed to be an autoinflammatory disease that occurs due to innate immune system dysfunction, involving several cytokines, which causes abnormally increased inflammation. To the best of our know...
متن کاملSerum cytokine profile in leprosy and its correlation with clinico-histopathological profile.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the serum levels of cytokines in leprosy patients, to correlate them with clinico-histopathological profile, and to study the effect of standard multidrug therapy on serum cytokine levels. DESIGN Serum immunoassays of TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-1 beta and IL-10 were performed by ELISA in 61 newly diagnosed cases of leprosy before starting therapy and during reactional epis...
