The Hierarchy of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Ocular Inflammation [PDF]
Current Eye Research, 2017 The concept of tissue-dependent cytokine hierarchy has been demonstrated in a number of diseases, but it has not been investigated in ophthalmic diseases. Here, we evaluated the functional hierarchy of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-17A, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the induction of ocular inflammation.We delivered adeno-associated virus (AAV ...

Effect of dsRNA on Mesangial Cell Synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 and Tissue Plasminogen Activator [PDF]
, 2009 Background/Aims: Viral infections are a major problem worldwide and many of them are complicated by virally induced glomerulonephritides. Progression of kidney disease to renal failure is mainly attributed to the development of renal fibrosis ...

SNX25 regulates proinflammatory cytokine expression via the NF-κB signal in macrophages.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Innate immunity is the first line of defense against bacterial infection and is initiated by macrophages. Sorting nexin 25 (SNX25) is an SNX family member and is reported to negatively regulate TGF-β signaling by enhancing TGF receptor degradation ...

Otopetrin 1 protects mice from obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction through attenuating adipose tissue inflammation. [PDF]
, 2014 Chronic low-grade inflammation is emerging as a pathogenic link between obesity and metabolic disease. Persistent immune activation in white adipose tissue (WAT) impairs insulin sensitivity and systemic metabolism, in part, through the actions of ...

Central Proinflammatory Cytokines and Pain Enhancement [PDF]
Neurosignals, 2005 Enhanced pain is a component of the 'sickness response' which is an evolutionarily adaptive constellation of responses that enhance the survival of the host. Proinflammatory cytokines mediate these sickness behaviors, and whether proinflammatory cytokines are involved in exaggerated pain has become an intriguing question.

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.
