چکیده
background chemokines play important roles in immune system activation against microbial infections. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate seminal levels of cxc chemokines cxcl1, cxcl9, cxcl10 and cxcl12 in chlamydia trachomatis infected patients. materials and methods the c. trachomatis infection was determined employing polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-based methods. seminal concentrations of cxcl1, cxcl9, cxcl10 and cxcl12 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). results the current study results demonstrated that the semen levels of cxcl1 and cxcl9, but not cxcl10 and cxcl12, significantly increased in c. trachomatis infected patients compared to the healthy controls. conclusions based on the current study results, it may be concluded that both cxcl1 and cxcl9 play more important roles than cxcl10 and cxcl12 in induction of immune responses against c. trachomatis and could possibly be considered as future targets for immunotherapy of c. trachomatis infection.

متن کاملDifferential Expression of CXCL1, CXCL9 CXCL10 and CXCL12 Chemokines in Alopecia Areata
Background: Alopecia Areata (AA) is a non-scarring, autoimmune disorder which causes hair loss. Inflammatory reactions are involved in hair loss of the scalp and/or body. The involvement of chemokine receptors in the pathogenesis of AA is well defined among which, CXCL1 acts on neutrophils and CXCL9, CXCL10 and CXCL12 and serve as T lymphocytes recruiters. Objective: To study the serum levels o...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common causes of genital infection in men and women. Genital chlamydial infections in women are clinically asymptomatic in 70-80% of the cases; therefore, the lack of timely diagnosis and treatment leads to complications such as infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The aim of this study...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis(CT) is an obligate intracellular bacteria, requires living cells to replicate itself. CT infection can remain up to 4 years in the couple and affect their fertility. The relationship between CT and infertility is very important because most patients are asymptomatic and untreated. After infection with CT, NK activation signals begin through interactions of its ...
