Abstract Background Interleukin-4 (IL-4), a pleiotropic anti-inflammatory cytokine, is produced mainly by activated T helper 2 (Th2). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) typical inflammation-related cancer. Alterations influencing IL-4 expression may disturb immune response and be associated with HCC risk. We aimed to verify role of IL4 gene polymorphism ( IL-4-589C/T (rs2243250 )) in HCV-related he...

Abstract Virtual memory CD8 +T (CD8 VM) cells, a unique subset of cells bearing phenotypes, exist in naïve and even germ-free mice. Distinct from the conventional T VMcells are antigen-inexperienced but able to respond quickly cognate antigen-independent manner, thus could provide broad range innate-like protective effects. Our previous study showed that be expanded by type 2/interleukin-4 (IL-...

Inflammatory responses are strictly regulated by coordination of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) have typically the biologic anti-inflammatory effects on monocytes, but uncertain effects on polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). The PMNs are the first line of cellular response for host defense during acute inflammation. To modify h...

Objective: In this study, expression of Interleukin-2, Interleukin-4, Interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor beta in diffuse and intestinal type gastric cancers from Mexican patients was assessed for use as markers of malignancy. Methods: A total of 30 biopsies from gastric adenocarcinomas, 60% diffuse, 20% intestinal and 20% mixed in type, were studied by immunohistochemistry. Results: ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from patients with chronic beryllium disease (CBD) have been used to evaluate the beryllium-specific immune response and potential immunotherapeutics. Beryllium induces interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) from BAL cells. An antibody to IL-2 and recombinant...

ABSTRACTAim: To evaluate the effect of intra-canal cryotherapy on interleukin-1βand interleukin-10 expression in teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis.Methodology: Forty-eight single rooted patients periodontitiswere randomly divided into 4 groups according to irrigation protocol.Group I (control); 5% sodium hypochlorite at room temperature. Group II; coldsodium (2-5°C). III; final rinse ...
