TBX21 and HLX1 Polymorphisms Influence Cytokine Secretion at Birth
BACKGROUND TBX21 (T cell specific T-box transcription factor) and HLX1 (H.20-like homeobox 1) are crucial transcription factors of T(H)1-cells, inducing their differentiation and suppressing T(H)2 commitment, particularly important for early life immune development. This study investigated the influence of TBX21 and HLX1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which have previously been shown t...
متن کاملInfluence of Polymer Chemistry on Cytokine Secretion from Polarized Macrophages
Of central importance to tissue engineering and drug delivery is identifying polymer parameters that increase or decrease specific cytokines in response to biomaterials. In this study, we have interrogated the effects of material descriptors and material characteristics on pro-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and naiv̈e macrophages using polymeric particles (∼600 nm), functionalized with 13 differe...
متن کاملModulation of in vitro proliferation and cytokine secretion of human lymphocytes by Mentha longifolia extracts
Objective: Mentha longifolia L. Hudson has been used in folk medicine for various purposes especially for its anti-inflammatory effects. Lymphocytes play a central role in development of inflammation. In the present study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of different extracts of M. longifolia on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), as main players in development of inflammati...
متن کاملProinflammatory cytokine polymorphisms and the risk of preterm birth and low birthweight in a Japanese population.
Pregnancy and parturition involve a complex and poorly understood molecular and biological interplay between mother and fetus. Inflammatory cytokines have been reported to be associated with fetal growth and parturition. The aim of this study was to examine whether common proinflammatory cytokine polymorphisms are associated with preterm birth (PTB), low birthweight or intrauterine growth restr...
متن کاملCytokine polymorphisms and nephrotic syndrome.
There is strong circumstantial evidence for a link between idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome, a clinical entity synonymous with the renal biopsy appearances of minimal change nephropathy (so-called because histological examination of the kidney in this condition shows no evidence of glomerular inflammation) and a disturbance of the cytokine balance in the immune system. In particular, the...
