  • In wild-type (WT) mouse chondrocytes, baseline receptor expression levels and gp130 cytokine-induced JAK/STAT signaling were determined by flow cytometry, and expression of SOCS-3 was assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (nih.gov)
  • The goal of the current study was to evaluate the potential for the -adrenergic receptor inhibitor and anti-inflammatory drug, propranolol, to treat neuroinflammation in a novel long-term mouse model of GWI. (cdc.gov)
  • Within the gp130 cytokine family, OSM is a potent stimulus of chondrocyte responses, while IL-6 probably signals via trans-signaling. (nih.gov)
  • To examine the impact of the gp130 cytokine family on murine articular cartilage and to explore a potential regulatory role of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS-3) in murine chondrocytes. (nih.gov)
  • Human and rat dental pulp under normal and inflammatory conditions were analyzed using toluidine blue histochemistry and immunohistochemistry techniques. (bvsalud.org)
  • In response to mito- pendence between the key mecha- gens, cell proliferation is triggered by nistic characteristics. (who.int)
  • Senescent cell populations increase with age and secrete a pro-inflammatory cocktail of chemicals, a condition known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). (wikipedia.org)
  • What is the therapeutic implication if two responses, acting at different times, are required to act in concert to produce a product, particularly if one response results from a chemical-cell interaction (i.e., ozone -epithelium) and the other represents an inflammatory mediator? (cdc.gov)
  • Treatment of Socs3(Δ/Δcol2) mouse cartilage explants and chondrocytes with gp130 cytokines prolonged JAK/STAT signaling, enhanced cartilage degradation, increased the expression of Adamts4, Adamts5, and RANKL, and elevated the production of IL-6, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, CXCL1, and CCL2. (nih.gov)
  • The gp130 cytokine-driven production of RANKL in chondrocytes may link chondrocyte activation and bone remodeling during inflammatory arthritis. (nih.gov)
  • Increases in the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) are a key signal for hepcidin production ( Nemeth, Rivera et al. (humankinetics.com)
  • Many of these effects are secondary to the production of cytokines. (jneurosci.org)
  • The present work seeks to establish two points: (1) an important target of the action of LPS is the peripheral terminal of sensory afferents, and (2) this action may be secondary to the production of cytokines. (jneurosci.org)
  • The effects of LPS appear to be secondary to the production of cytokines ( Morrison, 1987 ). (jneurosci.org)
  • Sepsis-3 was born, defined as "life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. (medscape.com)
  • This may be protective in the short term, providing a form of 'nutritional immunity' against invading microbes by diminishing access to free iron in response to infection. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Compared to other gp130 cytokines, OSM was the most potent activator of the JAK/STAT pathway and of SOCS-3 induction. (nih.gov)
  • Previous research, including important discoveries by G khan Hotamisligil, chair of the HSPH Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases, has shown that as they become enlarged with fat, adipocytes produce pro-inflammatory stimuli, such as free fatty acids. (webwire.com)
  • Another type of macrophage, known as M2, has the opposite effect, quelling the inflammatory response to free fatty acids. (webwire.com)
  • The initial dose should be maintained or adjusted until the clinical response is satisfactory and, if no suitable clinical response is obtained after a reasonable period of time, [CV004 trade name] should be stopped and the patient's treatment changed. (who.int)
  • Once an initial favourable response has been obtained, the initial dose should be reduced in small amounts until the lowest dose that maintains a suitable clinical response is obtained. (who.int)
  • Failure to achieve adequate response with traditional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and increasing evidence of ongoing radiographic deterioration of the affected joints despite seemingly clinical response were essential stimuli for the development of biologics. (dovepress.com)

  • Reduced levels of TNF- α and IL-1 β and decreased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule- (ICAM-) 1, resulting in diminished interactions between the leukocyte and endothelium and reduced migration of phagocytes to inflammatory sites, have been suggested as possible causes for this increased susceptibility [ 19 - 21 ].
