The immuno-neuroendocrine interface
The CNS and the various endocrine organs are linked in a dynamic manner through networks of reciprocal interactions that allow for both long-term adaptation and short-term shifts in environmental conditions. These regulatory systems embrace the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and any of several target glands, including the adrenal gland and the thyroid. Because the anterior pituitary gland s...
متن کاملThe neuroendocrine-immune interface gone awry in aldosteronism.
Congestive heart failure (CHF), a clinical syndrome with characteristic signs and symptoms, is a salt-avid state whose origins are rooted in neurohormonal activation, including the circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). A systemic illness accompanies CHF and contributes to a progressive downhill clinical course and poor prognosis. Features include: (a) oxi/nitrosative stress i...
متن کاملVascular tone in heart failure: the neuroendocrine-therapeutic interface.
Impaired cardiac function is of course the primary problem in heart failure, but it is also the stimulus to activation of several integrated neuroendocrine systems. Activation of these neuroendocrine systems at first seems to have important beneficial effects for the failing circulation-maintaining cardiac output, blood pressure, blood flow to essential organs, and the glomerular filtration rat...
متن کاملDirect regulation of pituitary proopiomelanocortin by STAT3 provides a novel mechanism for immuno-neuroendocrine interfacing.
Neuroendocrine ACTH secretion responds to peripheral inflammatory and stress signals. We previously demonstrated that the proinflammatory cytokine, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), affects the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) by stimulating in vitro and in vivo pituitary proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene expression and ACTH secretion and by potentiating the action of hypothalamic cortico...
متن کاملAlterations in the immuno-skeletal interface drive bone destruction in HIV-1 transgenic rats.
Osteoporosis and bone fractures are increasingly recognized complications of HIV-1 infection. Although antiretroviral therapy itself has complex effects on bone turnover, it is now evident that the majority of HIV-infected individuals already exhibit reduced bone mineral density before therapy. The mechanisms responsible are likely multifactorial and have been difficult to delineate in humans. ...
