objective(s) recombinant adenoviruses are currently used for a variety of purposes, including in vitro gene transfer, in vivo vaccination, and gene therapy. ability to infect many cell types, high efficiency in gene transfer, entering both dividing and non dividing cells, and growing to high titers make this virus a good choice for using in various experiments. in the present experiment, a reco...

gene polymorphism of cytokines influencing their function has been known as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases of the tooth and implant supporting tissues. the aim of this study was to investigate the association of il-17r gene polymorphism (rs879576) with chronic periodontitis and periimplantitis in an iranian population. 73 patients with chronic periodontitis, ...

Sleep plays a vital role in regulating physiological mechanisms in the human body. Nowadays, by the change of lifestyle and as a consequence of longer work hours and increased accessibility to media, sleep disturbance becomes a common problem in modern society. Many studies demonstrated that sleep disturbance triggers a systemic low-grade inflammation by increasing the level of several cytokine...

Objective(s): Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra) is a new member of the IL-1 family that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases. Our purpose was to determine the effect of IL-36Ra on liver injury in a mouse hepatitis model induced by concanavalin A (ConA). Materials and Methods: Mic...

Background: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial disease, those mechanisms are not fully understood. A significant role of cytokines, e.g., interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α, IL-10, IL-17А, IL-4, and their genes, in the pathogenesis predisposition to CRSwNP treatment efficacy established. Aim: investigate IL-1β (Т-31С), TNF-α (G-308A), IL-10 (G-...

objective: autoimmune diseases precede a complex dysregulation of the immune system. t helper17 (th17) and interleukin (il)-17 have central roles in initiation of inflammation and subsequent autoimmune diseases. il-27 significantly controls autoimmune diseases by th17 and il-17 suppression. in the present study we have created genetic engineered mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that mediate with l...

To investigate candidate genes that influence the risk of HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), we analyzed 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the interleukin-10 (IL-10) promoter region. METHODS: 280 cases of HAM/TSP patients and 255 HTLV-I seropositive asymptomatic carriers (HCs) from Kagoshima, Japan were studied. All subjects gave written informed conse...
