The snake venom metalloproteinase BaP1 induces joint hypernociception through TNF-α and PGE2-dependent mechanisms
(2007-08)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in joint tissue destruction in arthritis. However, MMPs have not been assigned a role in joint pain. We investigated the ability of BaP1, a ...
Increments in serum cytokine and nitric oxide levels in mice injected with Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca snake venoms
(2000-09)
Changes in serum levels of several cytokines and nitric oxide were studied in BALB/c mice injected intraperitoneally with one median lethal dose (LD(50)) of the venoms of Bothrops asper and Bothrops jararaca, two of the ...
Systemic cytokine response in children bitten by snakes in Costa Rica
(2001-12)
BACKGROUND:
To characterize the host response to venom from snakes of the family Viperidae in Costa Rica, we investigated the release of cytokines: IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES in pediatric patients ...
Inflammation induced by Bothrops asper venom: release of proinflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids, and role of adhesion molecules in leukocyte infiltration
(2005-12)
Bothrops asper venom (BaV) causes systemic and local effects characterized by an acute inflammatory reaction with accumulation of leukocytes and release of endogenous mediators. In this study, the effects of BaV on the ...
Increments in cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in skeletal muscle after injection of tissue-damaging toxins from the venom of the snake Bothrops asper
(2002)
Envenomations by the snake Bothrops asper are characterized by prominent local tissue damage (i.e. myonecrosis), blistering, hemorrhage and edema. Various phospholipases A2 and metalloproteinases that induce local pathological ...
Inflammatory effects of BaP1 a metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops asper snake venom: leukocyte recruitment and release of cytokines
(2006-04)
The inflammatory events induced by BaP1, a 22.7 kDa metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops asper snake venom, were studied. BaP1 i.p. injection in mice induced a marked inflammatory cell infiltrate into peritoneal cavity ...
