Variation of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) Receptor Gene Based on Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) in Indonesian Friesian Holstein Dairy Cattle [PDF]
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptor gene is response to bacterial invasion, endothelial and epithelial cells by release the chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). IL-8 mediates neutrophil function, allowing neutrophils to resolve bacterial infections by migrating ...

Reigniting hope in cancer treatment: the promise and pitfalls of IL-2 and IL-2R targeting strategies
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and its receptor (IL-2R) are essential in orchestrating immune responses. Their function and expression in the tumor microenvironment make them attractive targets for immunotherapy, leading to the development of IL-2/IL-2R-targeted ...

Identification of a cytotoxic form of dimeric interleukin-2 in murine tissues. [PDF]
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a multi-faceted cytokine, known for promoting proliferation, survival, and cell death depending on the cell type and state. For example, IL-2 facilitates cell death only in activated T cells when antigen and IL-2 are abundant. The

Interleukins 4 and 13 in Asthma: Key Pathophysiologic Cytokines and Druggable Molecular Targets
Interleukins (IL)-4 and -13 play a pivotal role in the pathobiology of type-2 asthma. Indeed, IL-4 is crucially involved in Th2 cell differentiation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching and eosinophil trafficking.

P2Y2 Receptor and EGFR Cooperate to Promote Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion via ERK1/2 Pathway. [PDF]
As one member of G protein-coupled P2Y receptors, P2Y2 receptor can be equally activated by extracellular ATP and UTP. Our previous studies have proved that activation of P2Y2 receptor by extracellular ATP could promote prostate cancer cell invasion and ...

The IL-2 – IL-2 receptor pathway in health and disease: The role of the soluble IL-2 receptor
The interleukin (IL)-2 - IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) pathway is important in immunity, but is also involved in maintenance of self-tolerance. This paradox is further complicated by shedding of the IL-2Rα chain, revealing soluble (s)IL-2R. Binding of IL-2 to sIL-2R may either reduce or enhance responses depending on the target cell being involved in immunity ...

Recent Advances in IL-13Rα2-Directed Cancer Immunotherapy
Interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2 (IL-13Rα2, CD213A), a high-affinity membrane receptor of the anti-inflammatory Th2 cytokine IL-13, is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors and is correlated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma, colorectal ...

IL-1α and TNF-α Down-Regulate CRH Receptor-2 mRNA Expression in the Mouse Heart [PDF]
Two receptors (CRH receptor type 1 and CRH receptor type 2) have been identified for the stress-induced neuropeptide, CRH and related peptides, urocortin, and urocortin II.
