Alternatively activated macrophages promote pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis. [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and irreversible inflammatory and fibrotic disease with no cure. Unlike acute pancreatitis (AP), we find that alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) are dominant in mouse and human CP.

The kinases MSK1 and MSK2 act as negative regulators of Toll-like receptor signaling [PDF]
, 2008 The kinases MSK1 and MSK2 are activated 'downstream' of the p38 and Erk1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinases. Here we found that MSK1 and MSK2 were needed to limit the production of proinflammatory cytokines in response to stimulation of primary ...

Mutants of Interleukin 13 with Altered Reactivity toward Interleukin 13 Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Interleukin 13 (IL13) belongs to a family of cytokines whose members exhibit structural homology, despite amino acid sequence dissimilarity. For example, while of limited sequence homology, IL13 and IL4 share a signaling receptor, IL13/4 receptor, on a variety of human normal cells. However, a subclass of IL4-independent IL13 receptors is overexpressed

Contrasting effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics on the expression of the collagenases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -13, in human tendon-derived cells [PDF]
, 2005 Fluoroquinolone antibiotics may cause tendon pain and rupture. We reported previously that the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin potentiated interleukin (IL)-1ß-stimulated expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3 and MMP-1 in human tendon-derived ...

Interaction of Interleukin-17A with a Th2 Response in a Mouse Model of Allergic Airway Inflammation
Cells, 2023 Background: A total of 262 million people worldwide suffer from asthma and 461000 people died from it in 2019. Asthma is a disease with different endotypes defined by the granulocytes found in the asthmatic lung.

Neuroimmunology of the Interleukins 13 and 4 [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2016 The cytokines interleukin 13 and 4 share a common heterodimeric receptor and are important modulators of peripheral allergic reactions. Produced primarily by T-helper type 2 lymphocytes, they are typically considered as anti-inflammatory cytokines because they can downregulate the synthesis of T-helper type 1 pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Cytokine profile associated with human chronic schistosomiasis mansoni
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004 This study objective was to evaluate the cytokines associated with early events of hepatic fibrosis in schistosomiasis mansoni. Hepatic fibrosis was classified by ultrasonography in 94 patients.

Tissue Cytokine Responses in Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]
, 2001 To elucidate the local tissue cytokine response of dogs infected with Leishmania chagasi, cytokine mRNA levels were measured in bone marrow aspirates from 27 naturally infected dogs from Brazil and were compared with those from 5 uninfected control ...
