Elevation of serum epidermal growth factor and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist in active psoriasis vulgaris.
BACKGROUND Psoriatic plaques present a complex expression profile, including high levels of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. Circulating cytokines have been suggested to reflect the activation status of the inflammatory process. OBJECTIVES To analyse 20 cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in 14 patients with psoriasis vulgaris at the start and during the course of ultraviolet B ...
متن کاملCHEMOKINES, CYTOKINES, AND INTERLEUKINS FGF2 posttranscriptionally down-regulates expression of SDF1 in bone marrow stromal cells through FGFR1 IIIc
The chemokine stromal cell–derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is constitutively expressed by bone marrow stromal cells and plays key roles in hematopoiesis. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), a member of the FGF family that plays important roles in developmental morphogenic processes, is abnormally elevated in the bone marrow from patients with clonal myeloid disorders and other disorders where normal he...
متن کاملCytokines link osteoblasts and inflammation: microarray analysis of interleukin-17- and TNF-alpha-induced genes in bone cells.
The novel cytokine interleukin (IL)-17 has been implicated in many infectious and autoimmune settings, especially rheumatoid arthritis. Consistent with its proinflammatory effects on bone, osteoblast cells are highly responsive to IL-17, particularly in combination with other inflammatory cytokines. To better understand the spectrum of activities controlled by IL-17, we globally profiled genes ...
متن کاملThe agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis induces the production of myelosuppressing chemokines without induction of proinflammatory cytokines.
Infection by human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is characterized clinically by cytopenias out of proportion to the number of cells seen to be infected directly. To study the pathogenic role of inflammatory mediators in HGE infection, cytokine production by untreated and dimethyl sulfoxide-treated HL-60 cells, which demonstrate enhanced infection because of granulocytic differentiation, and b...
متن کاملModern Interpretation of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: Predominantly Osteoclastogenic Stromal Tumor
Owing to striking features of numerous multinucleated cells and bone destruction, giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone, often called as osteoclastoma, has drawn major attractions from orthopaedic surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists. The name GCT or osteoclastoma gives a false impression of a tumor comprising of proliferating osteoclasts or osteoclast precursors. The underlying mechanisms for exc...
