Innate Immunity in Coronary Disease. The Role of Interleukin-12 Cytokine Family in Atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive, and multifactorial disease modulated by genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, the paradigm that explained atherosclerosis as resulting from a complex interaction between factors not accessible to medical intervention, and modifiable risk factors has changed. In this paradigm, alterations in lipid metabolism were the pivotal concept of ath...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 and protective immunity to schistosomes.
The attenuated vaccine against Schistosoma mansoni induces Th1-mediated protective immunity and we have sought to identify a role for IL-12 in this model. Elevated levels of IL-12 (p40 mRNA) were detected in the lymph nodes (LN) and the lungs of vaccinated mice, whilst treatment of vaccinated mice with anti-IL-12 antibodies decreased the ratio of IFN gamma:IL-4 secreted by in vitro-cultured LN ...
متن کاملInterleukin-12-mediated induction of systemic immunity in the perihpery
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) stimulates the type 1 helper T (Th1) cell responses and augments antitumor immunity. We examined possible antitumor effects of IL-12 secreted intracerebrally (i.c.) and/or subcutaneously (s.c.) in an experimental glioblastoma model and compared the effects with those of IL-2. Rat 9L gliosarcoma cells retrovirally transduced with the IL-12 or IL-2 gene (9L/IL-12 and 9L/IL-...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 family cytokines and sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease predominantly affecting the lungs. It is believed to be caused by exposure to pathogenic antigens in genetically susceptible individuals but the causative antigen has not been identified. The formation of non-caseating granulomas at sites of ongoing inflammation is the key feature of the disease. Other aspects of the pathogenesis are peripheral T-...
