THE INFLUENCE OF PATHOGENETIC THERAPY ON THE LEVER OF CYTOKINES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE BRUCELLOSIS

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2017
The purpose of the study was to determine the level of proinflammatory cytokines: IL-12, IL-8 and IFNγ, neopterin and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein in the serum of patients with acute brucellosis before and after antibiotic therapy.

IL-18 and IL-18 binding protein concentration in ovarian follicular fluid of women with “tubal factor” subjected to in vitro fertilization

Postępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2013
Composition of follicular fluid is also regarded to be linked to quality of oocytes, fertilization and quality of the embryo. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of IL-18 and IL18BP in follicular fluid (FF) in a homogeneous group of women with sterility caused by "tubal factor" subjected to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the ...

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

A common variant of the interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6r) gene increases IL-6r and IL-6 levels, without other inflammatory effects.

, 2007
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a key inflammatory cytokine, signalling to most tissues by binding to a soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6r), making a complex with gp130.

Unlocking the potential of cell‐permeable nanobodies for intracellular applications

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines current strategies for delivery of nanobodies into cells and highlights recent examples of functional applications. By addressing and manipulating intracellular targets, these molecules hold great potential for treating cancer, respiratory diseases and neurological disorders, making this a vibrant area of research in the biomedical

Role of Non-Binding T63 Alteration in IL-18 Binding

Engineered interleukin-18 (IL-18) has attracted interest as a cytokine-based treatment. However, knowledge-based mutagenesis of IL-18 has been reported for only a few regions of the protein structures, including binding sites I and II.

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

Mitochondrial translation and coordinated cytosolic translation in metabolic homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial function depends on coordinated protein production from the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. This review highlights how cytosolic and mitochondrial translation, mRNA localization, protein import, and respiratory complex assembly are integrated to maintain mitochondrial proteostasis and function.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
