The influence of protein malnutrition on the production of GM-CSF and M-CSF by macrophages

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
It is well established that protein malnutrition (PM) impairs immune defenses and increases susceptibility to infection. Macrophages are cells that play a central role in innate immunity, constituting one of the first barriers against infections ...

Interleukin (IL)–12 and IL-23 Are Key Cytokines for Immunity against Salmonella in Humans [PDF]

, 2004
Patients with inherited deficiency of the interleukin (IL)–12/IL-23–interferon (IFN)–g axis show increased susceptibility to invasive disease caused by the intramacrophage pathogens salmonellae and mycobacteria. We analyzed data on 154 patients with such

Long‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure May Increase Risk of Chronic Rhinosinusitis WIth Nasal Polyposis: Results from an Exposure‐Matched Study

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis have gained heightened attention. We previously demonstrated that PM2.5 exposure may bias the nasal mucosa in CRS toward a Type 2 inflammatory pathway.

CLINICAL USE OF GRANULOCYTE-MACROPHAGE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR AND GRANULOCYTE COLONY-STIMULATING FACTOR IN NEUTROPENIA ASSOCIATED WITH MALIGNANCY

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1996
G-CSF and GM-CSF have been shown in each clinical setting to reduce the duration of neutropenia, with the exception of the scant data available in the unrelated bone marrow transplant setting. These growth factors also have been shown to have no leukemogenic effect during the observation periods of the trials discussed.

Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide alters atherosclerotic-related gene expression in oxidized low-density-lipoprotein-induced macrophages and foam cells [PDF]

, 2011
The molecular mechanism between atherosclerosis formation and periodontal pathogens is not clear although positive correlation between periodontal infections and cardiovascular diseases has been reported.

New Horizons for Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: 2025 and Beyond

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
The advances achieved against multiple sclerosis (MS) represent one of the great success stories of modern molecular medicine. The development of therapies with increasing selectivity and safety, guided by gains in understanding the fundamental immunology, neurobiology, genetics, and triggers of this disease, have broadened the traditional focus on ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

The Role of Granulocyte-macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor in Recurrent Pregnancy Losses

Bagcilar Medical Bulletin, 2019
Objective:A specific factor cannot be detected in approximately half of recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL). The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of a cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in the etiology ...

Immunostimulation using granulocyte- and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock [PDF]

, 2011
Sepsis is associated with failure of multiple organs, including failure of the immune system. The resulting 'sepsis-associated immunosuppression' resembles a state of immunological anergy that is characterized by repeated 'infectious hits', prolonged ...
