Effects of intrathecal and intracerebroventricular microinjection of kaempferol on pain: possible mechanisms of action

open access: yesResearch in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021
Background and purpose: Kaempferol (KM), a flavonoid, has an anti-inflammatory and anticancer effect and prevents many metabolic diseases. Nonetheless, very few studies have been done on the antinociceptive effects of KM. This research aimed at assessing

Synergy between sphingosine 1-phosphate and lipopolysaccharide signaling promotes an inflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic response in human aortic valve interstitial cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Given that the bioactive lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate is involved in cardiovascular pathophysiology, and since lipid accumulation and inflammation are hallmarks of calcific aortic stenosis, the role of sphingosine 1-phosphate on the pro-inflammatory/pro-

Novel mutations in the toll like receptor genes cause hyporesponsiveness to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Toll like receptors play a central role in the recognition of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Mutations in TLR1, TLR2 and TLR4 genes may change the PAMP reorganization ability which causes altered responsiveness to the bacterial pathogens.

Dupilumab: Basic aspects and applications to allergic diseases

open access: yesAllergology International, 2020
Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, signature type 2 cytokines, exert their actions by binding to two types of receptors sharing the IL-4R α chain (IL-4Rα).

A novel lipidic peptide with potential to promote balanced effector-regulatory T cell responses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
T cell-dendritic cell (DC) interactions contribute to reciprocal stimulation leading to DC maturation that results in production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ).

Understanding the role of P2X7 in affective disorders—are glial cells the major players? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Pathophysiology associated with several psychiatric disorders has been linked to inflammatory biomarkers. This has generated a theory of major depressive disorders as an inflammatory disease.

Interleukin-2 signalling is modulated by a labile disulfide bond in the CD132 chain of its receptor [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2012
Certain disulfide bonds present in leucocyte membrane proteins are labile and can be reduced in inflammation. This can cause structural changes that result in downstream functional effects, for example, in integrin activation.

Interleukin 2 receptor-targeted cytotoxicity. Interleukin 2 receptor-mediated action of a diphtheria toxin-related interleukin 2 fusion protein. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of experimental medicine, 1988
The IL-2 toxin-mediated inhibition of protein synthesis in high affinity IL-2-R-positive murine and human T cell lines has been examined. Both excess free IL-2 and mAb to the Tac epitope of the p55 subunit of IL-2-R are shown to block the action of IL-2 toxin; whereas, agents that interact with other receptors or antigens on the T cell surface have no ...

Neopterin, soluble receptors for interleukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor in viral cirrhosis and alcoholic cirrhosis

open access: yesPteridines, 2000
Alcoholic cirrhosis and viral cirrhosis are associated with alterations of immune system function and cytokine production. Our aim was to investigate whether serum concentrations of soluble receptors for interleukin-2 (sIL- 2 R) and tumor necrosis factor
