Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Represses GnRH Gene Expression via cFOS during Inflammation in Male Mice. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundThe mechanisms whereby neuroinflammation negatively affects neuronal function in the hypothalamus are not clear. Our previous study determined that obesity-mediated chronic inflammation elicits sex-specific impairment in reproductive function ...

Distinctive growth requirements and gene expression patterns distinguish progenitor B cells from pre-B cells. [PDF]

, 1993
Long-term bone marrow cultures have been useful in determining gene expression patterns in pre-B cells and in the identification of cytokines such as interleukin 7 (IL-7).

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.

A new theory of depression based on the serotonin/kynurenine relationship and the hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal axis

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2018
The serotonergic and immunological hypothesis of depression proposes that certain types of excessive stress distort the relationship between the activities of the innate immune and central nervous systems, so that the stress caused by an infection, or ...

Seminal fluid and cytokine control of regulatory T-cells in murine pregnancy. [PDF]

, 2010
For successful pregnancy, the maternal immune system must tolerate the presence of a fetus that expresses alloantigens. The appropriate and timely acquisition of this state of tolerance is critical and emerging evidence suggests that it needs to be ...

The Effect of Carbimazole Therapy on Interleukin 2, Interleukin 2 Receptors and Free Radicals

Autoimmunity, 1990
Levels of Interleukin 2 (IL2), IL2 receptors (IL2R) and free radical scavengers were measured in 25 Graves' disease patients prior to and following an 8 week course of Carbimazole therapy in an attempt to understand the mechanism by which the drug acts on the immune system. In untreated Graves' patients IL2R levels were elevated and IL2 levels reduced.

The Influence of IL-11 on Cardiac Fibrosis in Experimental Models: A Systematic Review

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Fibrosis is one of the main factors that impair the function of many organs. In the heart, fibrosis leads to contractile dysfunction and arrhythmias, which are important in the development of heart failure.

Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Induces Single Immunoglobulin Interleukin-1 Related Receptor (SIGIRR) Downregulation to Promote Interleukin-1β Upregulation in Porcine Alveolar Macrophage

Viruses, 2019
Multisystemic inflammation in pigs affected by porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) indicates the disordered expression of inflammatory cytokines. However, the PCV2-induced expression profile of inflammation cytokines and its regulating mechanism remain ...

The Immune System [PDF]

, 1995
Modern biotherapy has been in use for some 30 years. The first types of biotherapy were nonspecific stimulators of the immune response, but advances in genetic engineering are allowing the mass production of pure biological products which are now being ...

Interleukin-2 and its receptors: Implications and therapeutic prospects in immune-mediated disorders of central nervous system

Pharmacological Research
Interleukin-2 (IL-2), the first cloned cytokine, is a multifunctional molecule with diverse cellular origins. As a pivotal T-cell growth factor, IL-2 is crucial for T-cell proliferation and the generation of effector and memory cells.
