Influence of cytokine and cytokine receptor gene polymorphisms on the degree of liver damage in patients with chronic hepatitis C
(2016-09-01)
Hepatic fibrosis may be the result of repetitive injury to hepatocytes caused by HCV infection and the immune response to it. Cytokines regulate the inflammatory response to injury and modulate hepatic fibrogenesis. Single ...
Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines produced by human monocytes challenged in vitro with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
(2007-04-30)
Monocytes and macrophages play a central role in innate and adaptive immune response against systemic fungal infections. Imbalances in suppressor or stimulatory cytokine secretion caused by these cells may influence disease ...

IL-2, IL-5, TNF-α and IFN-γ mRNA expression in epidermal keratinocytes of systemic lupus erythematosus skin lesions
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2011-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: To analyze cytokine gene expression in keratinocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). INTRODUCTION: Keratinocytes represent 95% of epidermal cells and can secrete several cytokines. METHODS: ...
The Potential Role of Suppressors of Cytokine Signaling in the Attenuation of Inflammatory Reaction and Alveolar Bone Loss Associated with Apical Periodontitis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2008)
Inflammatory cytokines contribute to periapical tissue destruction. Their activity is potentially regulated by suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS), which down-regulate signal transduction as part of an inhibitory ...
Low-level laser therapy suppresses the oxidative stress-induced glucocorticoids resistance in U937 cells: Relevance to cytokine secretion and histone deacetylase in alveolar macrophages
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-05)
Oxidative stress is present in severe asthma and contributes to the low response to corticoids through the downregulation of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and the increase of cytokines. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been ...
