Disease relevance of Granuloma

 

Psychiatry related information on Granuloma

 

High impact information on Granuloma

  • Moreover, culture supernatants from activated gamma delta T lymphocytes induce adhesion and aggregation of bone-marrow monocytes in the presence of granulocyte monocyte-colony stimulating factor (CSF), suggesting that products of gamma delta-bearing T cells may play a role in the immune response, possibly by stimulating granuloma formation [8].
  • In humans, interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) receptor deficiency leads to a predisposition to mycobacterial infections and impairs the formation of mature granulomas [9].
  • Thus, IL-12-dependent IFN-gamma secretion in humans seems essential in the control of mycobacterial infections, despite the formation of mature granulomas due to IL-12-independent IFN-gamma secretion [9].
  • When two new steroids, methyl prednisolonate and methyl 20-dihydroprednisolonate, were applied locally their anti-inflammatory activities were nearly equivalent to those of the parent compound prednisolone in the cotton pellet granuloma bioassay [10].
  • Using intestinal parasite infection and a pulmonary granuloma model, we demonstrate cryptic roles for IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13 in these responses [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Granuloma

  • WSX-1(-/-) mice also showed poorly differentiated granulomas with dispersed accumulations of mononuclear cells when infected with bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) [12].
  • At 10 1/2 months, polytef granulomas were found at all injection sites and some sites of distant migration [13].
  • To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with liver and bone marrow inflammation characterized by granulomas with eosinophilic infiltration following intake of chlorpropamide [4].
  • Daily subcutaneous treatment of mice with 0.5 mg of hydrocortisone beginning simultaneously with pristane injection prevents the increase in the peritoneal cell population, granuloma formation, d the production of a conditoned environment [14].
  • Supernates from the cultured granuloma cells contain factor(s) which induce the proliferation of thymocytes; the release of such factors by the cells is stimulated by lipopolysaccharide [15].

Gene context of Granuloma

  • In parallel, the livers of IFN-gamma R0/0 mice showed a reduction in the formation of characteristic granulomas at 2 wk after inoculation [24].
  • Using a pulmonary granuloma model, induced with Schistosoma mansoni eggs, we demonstrate that although eosinophil infiltration, immunoglobulin E, and IL-5 production are reduced in the IL-4-deficient mice and IL-13-deficient mice, they are abolished only in the combined absence of both cytokines [25].
  • IL-1 beta and IL-1ra were produced by submucosal granulomas and correlated with inflammation [26].
  • Remarkably, CSD granulomas in vivo contain CXCL13-producing DCs [27].
  • Inflammation, as measured by granuloma size, also increased significantly in the absence of P-selectin [28].
  • Collectively, our data provide what we believe are novel insights into the involvement of F4/80+ DC-like cells in intestinal granuloma formation and demonstrate the role of host (IL-4 and IgG) and environmental (enteric flora) factors that regulate this function [29].
  • We conclude that IFN-gamma causes a dysbalance between angiostatic and angiogenic mediators and a concomitant reduction in granuloma vascularization, but that CXCR3-targeted chemokines are not sufficient to induce granuloma necrosis in a mouse model of mycobacteria-induced immunopathology [30].
