Disease relevance of Inflammation

 

High impact information on Inflammation

  • These results show that the production of plasminogen activatory by PMNs is controlled by agents that affect inflammations, and that this control is not shared by other lytic enzymes known to be associated with these cells [6].
  • The relatively abundant expression of MIF in lens may have clinical significance, with the possibility of involvement in ocular inflammations that may follow damage to the lens [7].
  • The only significant difference between Dfy(-/-) and Dfy(+/+) mice that we found was in neutrophil migration in peritoneal inflammations induced by lipopolysaccharide and thioglycolate [8].
  • Medications targeting the somatostatin type 2 receptor (SSTR2) have been employed for pancreatic inflammations and cancers, possibly via the regulation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) [9].
  • Overall, these results suggest that IFN-alpha is a relevant in vivo regulator of CD73 in the endothelial-leukocyte microenvironment in infections/inflammations, and thus has a fundamental role in controlling the extent of inflammation via CD73-dependent adenosine production [10].

Gene context of Inflammation

  • A specific depletion of CCR5(+) cells could therefore be a useful strategy to reduce the cellular infiltrate in chronic inflammations [21].
  • CONCLUSION: These results suggest that a co-stimulus like LPS is necessary for IL-4 to make a strong induction of eotaxin in eosinophilic inflammations such as nasal polyposis [22].
  • Because chemokines are of vital importance in directing inflammatory leukocytes to the sites of inflammations, we have investigated the expression and function of CC-chemokine receptor (CCR) on human MCs [23].
  • Recently, HO-1 has been found to be upregulated after allergic inflammations of the lower airway [24].
  • In cutaneous inflammations, a large amount of nitric oxide (NO) is produced through induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) under the influence of proinflammatory cytokines, resulting in tissue damages in skin, as clarified in other organs [25].
