Cytokines: Shared receptors, distinct functions
That the signal transduction pathways used by the cytokines IL-2 and IL-15 are identical would suggest that these cytokines have redundant roles in lymphoid development; instead, IL-2 is the guardian of thymus-derived T-cell homeostasis, while interleukin-15 promotes extrathymic development of T and NK cells.
متن کاملCytokines, Chemokines, and Chemokine Receptors Quantitative Expressions in Patients with Ovarian Cancer
Background: Cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors regulate the proliferation and survival of tumor cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis to other organs. This network of ligands and receptors has been used in molecular targeting of cancer. Methods: We compared the mRNA expression of CXCR3, CXCL-10, CXCR4, CXCL-12, IL-4, and IL-10 in tissues of benign and malignant ovarian tumors by qRT-P...
متن کاملGerman-austrian recommendations for HIV1-therapy in pregnancy and in HIV1-exposed newborn - update 2008
In Germany during the last years about 200-250 HIV1-infected pregnant women delivered a baby each year, a number that is currently increasing. To determine the HIV-status early in pregnancy voluntary HIV-testing of all pregnant women is recommended in Germany and Austria as part of prenatal care. In those cases, where HIV1-infection was known during pregnancy, since 1995 the rate of vertical tr...
متن کاملRegulation of mu-opioid receptors by cytokines.
Opioids are the most potent analgesics. However, their clinical use is limited by side effects like respiratory depression and their high potential for abuse. In addition, they modulate immune functions and cause immunosuppression. Effects of clinically important opioids like morphine are mediated by the mu-opioid receptor. Knowledge about the mechanisms controling the expression of the mu-opio...
متن کاملMicroRNAs and other mechanisms regulate interleukin-17 cytokines and receptors.
Interleukin-17 cytokines are a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Our current studies found: i) IL-17 cytokines are not ubiquitously expressed, but several receptors and TRAF3IP2 are ubiquitously expressed in tissues with a few exceptions; ii) heart and vascular tissue are in the second tier of readiness to respond to IL-17 cytokine stimulation; iii) alternative transcription starting sites ...
