Background & Aims: It has been shown that some drugs such as Pentoxifylline (PTX) have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity that might represent a potential preventive therapy for autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of pentoxifylline on the treatment of autoimmune diabetes in mice and its effects on expressions of peroxisome proli...
متن کاملIs there any association between a vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (FokI) and pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease of the skin and mucous membranes caused by activation and proliferation of T cells, production of Th2 cytokine profile and pathogenic antibodies. Vitamin D is a probable immunodeviator to Th2, which its actions are mediated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). FokI is the only single nucleot...
متن کاملAnti-interleukin-6 therapy through application of a monogenic protein inhibitor via gene delivery
Anti-cytokine therapies have substantially improved the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Cytokine-targeting drugs are usually biologics such as antibodies or other engineered proteins. Production of biologics, however, is complex and intricate and therefore expensive which might limit therapeutic application. To overcome this limitation we developed a strategy that involves th...
