symptomatic reactivation of hsv infection correlates with decreased serum levels of tnf-α
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: herpes simplex viruses (hsv) are human pathogens that establish lytic and latent infections. reactivation from latency occurs intermittently, which represents a life-long source for recurrent infection. the role of immune factors in the control of recurrent symptomatic hsv lesions is complex and the exact role of cytokines remains unclear. objective: to assess the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (tnf-α) and interleukin-10 (il-10) along with anti-herpetic igg and igm, in the symptomatic reactivation of hsv infection. methods: thirty-six patients with recurrent symptomatic herpes infection were selected as the study group and thirty-two healthy individuals with no history of symptomatic labial herpes infection enrolled as the control group. skin swabs were obtained from lip and skin lesions for viral culture. confirmation of hsv cytopathic effect was carried out using pcr assay. the levels of tnf-α, il-10, igg and igm were measured using elisa. results: the level of tnf-α was significantly lower in individuals with recurrent symptomatic herpes infection in comparison with the controls (p=0.04). also a significant elevation was observed in the levels of specific igg in patients compared to controls (p

Symptomatic Reactivation of HSV Infection Correlates with Decreased Serum Levels of TNF-α
Background: Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are human pathogens that establish lytic and latent infections. Reactivation from latency occurs intermittently, which represents a life-long source for recurrent infection. The role of immune factors in the control of recurrent symptomatic HSV lesions is complex and the exact role of cytokines remains unclear. Objective: To assess the levels of tumor ne...
متن کاملElevated Serum Levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is accompanied by abdominal pain and intestinal discomforts. A line of evidence shows that the immune system plays important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. Two main cytokines directing the immune system are IL-6 and TNF-α which may play a role in the immunopathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed at investigating the serum lev...
متن کاملThe Effect of Ginger Supplementation and EnduranceTraining on Serum Levels of IL-1α and TNF-α
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Exercise training and supplementation have different effects on the immune system. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ginger supplementation and endurance training on serum levels of Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1α) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) in untrained young women. ...
متن کاملSerum Levels of TNF-α, TNF-αRI, TNF-αRII and IL-12 in Treated Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease common in all races and ethnics. Cytokines and cytokines receptors play an important role in RA pathogenesis and clinical presentation. Objective: To investigate the serum levels of TNF-α, TNF-α RI, TNF-α RII and IL-12 in RA patients and healthy control group. Methods: In this study 43 patients fulfilling the revi...
متن کاملDecreased expression of microRNA-130a correlates with TNF-α in the development of osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE Increased expression of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α) has emerged as an important inflammatory factor in osteoarthritis (OA) and other joint diseases. The study was performed to investigate whether the expression of TNF-α in human chondrocytes was regulated by miRNAs. METHODS MiRNA-130a and TNF-α expression in cartilage specimens was examined in patients with knee osteoarthritis, ...
متن کاملDecreased Expression Levels of S100A12 and RAGE May Be Associated with Chronic HBV Infection
Background and Aims: Engagement of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its ligand “S100A12 protein” induce a cascade of reactions that eventually might lead to develop an inflammatory response dependent on NF-κB. Although involvement of S100A12 and RAGE in some autoimmune disease have proved, in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection functions of the prote...
