Oral administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus stain SW1 suppresses tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and increases transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta in mice
In the present study, the effect of the L. acidophilus strain SW1 on the systemic immune response was evaluated in BALB/c mice. Upon oral administration of SW1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production was strongly inhibited compared to the control group, whereas transforming growth factor (TGF)-β was significantly increased. Changes in the relative abundance of serum immunoglobulin isotypes we...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملSoluble Endoglin, Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 and Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Receptors in Different Clinical Manifestations of Preeclampsia
BACKGROUND Despite intensive research, the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia (PE) remains uncertain. Inflammatory and angiogenic factors are thought to play considerable roles in this disease. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between soluble endoglin (sEng), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha soluble receptors (sTNF-Rs) and th...
متن کاملTransforming growth factor beta enhances respiratory syncytial virus replication and tumor necrosis factor alpha induction in human epithelial cells.
Asthma is characterized as a chronic inflammatory disease associated with significant tissue remodeling. Patients with asthma are more susceptible to virus-induced exacerbation, which subsequently can lead to increased rates of hospitalization and mortality. While the most common cause of asthma-related deaths is respiratory viral infections, the underlying factors in the lung environment which...
متن کاملTUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA (TNF-a)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF, TNFSF2) is an important multifunctional cytokine that regulates inflammation, host defense, immune responses, and apoptosis. TNF exists as a membrane-bound 26kDa, type II integral membrane protein, and a 17kDa soluble homotrimeric TNF that is generated via proteolytic cleavage by TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE, ADAM17). Both the membrane-bound and soluble forms ...
