Synergy Between CD40 Ligation and IL-4 on Fibroblast Proliferation Involves IL-4 Receptor Signaling [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2002
Abstract Fibrosis can be an undesired consequence of activated cellular immune responses. The purpose of this work was to determine whether CD40 ligation and the pro-fibrotic cytokine IL-4 interact in regulating fibroblast proliferation and collagen production, and, if so, the mechanisms used.

Immune and allergic responses to Anisakis pegreffii, with focus on the roles of IL-4, IL-13 and the IL-4 receptor alpha [PDF]

, 2007
Includes bibliographical references (p. 117-127).The fish-parasitizing nematode Anisakis pegreffii induces gastrointestinal disease and allergy when ingested by humans, and can cause occupational allergy in seafood processing workers.

Evidence‐Informed Multidisciplinary Consensus Guidance for the Psychosocial Care of Adolescents With High‐Risk Cancer: Recommendations From the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with high‐risk cancer face complex developmental, psychosocial, and ethical challenges that extend beyond disease‐directed treatment. Although international recommendations exist for communication, psychosocial care, pediatric palliative care, survivorship, and shared decision‐making, these have largely evolved within ...

The effect of exercise on plasma soluble IL-6 receptor concentration: a dichotomous response [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this article is to review current literature on the response of soluble interleukin-6 receptor to exercise and identify a potential role for sIL-6R in skeletal muscle function.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Corticosteroid inhibits IL‐4 signaling through down‐regulation of IL‐4 receptor and STAT6 activity

FEBS Letters, 2002
Corticosteroids are potent anti‐inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents which down‐regulate cytokine production and action. Yet, contradictory results have been reported for their effects on the interleukin (IL)‐4‐mediated response. Using type II Fc receptor for IgE/CD23 as a target gene, here we report that corticosteroids at 10−4–10−6M inhibit the ...

Involvement of IL-4 in human glomerulonephritis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1997
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. However, the expression of IL-4 and IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) in human kidney has not been fully determined. Nonradioactive in situ hybridization was used to examine the expression of IL-4 mRNA and IL-4R mRNA in tissues from normal kidneys and specimens from a ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Mechanisms by which interleukin-4 suppresses inflammatory cytokine production by activated human monocytes [PDF]

, 2011
Improving understanding of how inflammatory responses by monocytes and macrophages are regulated may aid in the development of more targeted therapies for chronic inflammatory disease.

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.
