The sulfonylurea drug gliquidone is FDA approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Binding of gliquidone to ATP-sensitive potassium channels (SUR1, Kir6 subunit) in pancreatic β-cells increases insulin release to regulate blood glucose levels ...

Proinflammatory Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Bullous Pemphigoid
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmune skin blistering disease, characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal autoantigens. Cytokine expression is altered in BP patients, and several of these differently expressed cytokines,

Necroptosis promotes cell-autonomous activation of proinflammatory cytokine gene expression
Necroptosis, a form of regulated necrotic cell death, is mediated by receptor interacting protein 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL).

Crohn's disease: Th1, Th17 or both? The change of a paradigm: new immunological and genetic insights implicate Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease [PDF]
Traditionally, Crohn's disease has been associated with a Th1 cytokine profile, while Th2 cytokines are modulators of ulcerative colitis. This concept has been challenged by the description of tolerising regulatory T cells (Treg) and by proinflammatory ...

Proinflammatory Cytokines and Periodontal Disease [PDF]
Review Numerous biological procedures are strictly controlled by cell-cell interactions, which are categorized into two forms: cognate (adhesive) interactions, attained by mutual recognition between membrane-bound cell-surface molecules; and cytokine-mediated interactions [1].

Btp Proteins from Brucella abortus Modulate the Lung Innate Immune Response to Infection by the Respiratory Route [PDF]
Although inhalation of infected aerosols is a frequent route for Brucella infection in humans, it rarely causes pulmonary clinical manifestations, suggesting a mild or nearly absent local inflammatory response.

Proinflammatory Cytokines and Potassium Channels in the Kidney [PDF]
Proinflammatory cytokines affect several cell functions via receptor‐mediated processes. In the kidney, functions of transporters and ion channels along the nephron are also affected by some cytokines. Among these, alteration of activity of potassium ion (K+) channels induces changes in transepithelial transport of solutes and water in the kidney ...

The Crohn’s Disease and Proinflammatory Cytokines [PDF]
Abstract The aim of the study was to examine the profile of the main proinflammatory cytokines in the serum of patients with Crohn's disease and establish their association with the severity and activity of the disease. A total of 61 patients (29 women (47.5%), 32 men (52.5%) aged from 18 to 40 years (mean age (30.42 ± 2.51) years) with the ...

Altered expression of cytokines in mice infected intranasally with two syncytial variants of Herpes simplex virus type 1 [PDF]
Immune evasion strategies are important for the onset and the maintenance of viral infections. Many viruses have evolved mechanisms to counteract or suppress the host immune response.
