A key role for leukemia inhibitory factor in C26 cancer cachexia [PDF]
Cachexia is an exacerbating event in many types of cancer that is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. We have identified cytokine, signaling, and transcription factors that are required for cachexia in the mouse C26 colon carcinoma model of cancer.

Interleukin-33 contributes to both M1 and M2 chemokine marker expression in human macrophages [PDF]
Background Interleukin-33 is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family whose functions are mediated and modulated by the ST2 receptor. IL-33-ST2 expression and interactions have been explored in mouse macrophages but little is known about the effect of IL-33 ...

Enrichment of innate lymphoid cell populations in gingival tissue [PDF]
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a population of lymphocytes that act as the first line of immunologic defense at mucosal surfaces. The ILC family in the skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tissues has been investigated, and there are reports of individual

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor αPIX leads to activation of the Rac 1 GTPase/glycogen phosphorylase pathway in interleukin (IL)-2-stimulated T cells [PDF]
Recently, we have reported that the active form of Rac 1 GTPase binds to the glycogen phosphorylase muscle isoform (PYGM) and modulates its enzymatic activity leading to T cell proliferation.

IL-1 Family Members in Health and Disease
PUBLISHED In 1985, two distinct cDNAs encoding proteins sharing human Interleukin-1 (IL-1) activity were described, thus defining the first two members of the IL-1 family – IL-1α and IL-1β. These potent pro-inflammatory cytokines have been the subject of much research in the areas of fever, inflammation as well as their role in a myriad of inflammatory-

Role of Interleukin-1 family in bone metastasis of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most fatal diseases in male patients with high bone metastatic potential. Bone metastasis severely shortens overall survival and brings skeletal-related events (SREs) which reduces the life quality of patients, and ...
