Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInhibition of Interleukin-6 Expression by Curcumin in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Explants In VitroYanti, Stephanie, Yuliani et al.In atherosclerotic plaques, infectious agents from microbes may release Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat shock proteins that can stimulate the production of mediators, i.e., pro-inflammatory cytokines, by vascular endothelial cells and Smooth Muscle Cells (SMCs). The elevated level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is strongly associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated whether curcumin isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2014 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvidence of Interleukin Genes in the Sea-Star: Asterias rubens (Echinoderma)Michel Leclerc, Patricia OttenThe axial organ of the sea star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ the sea star T lymphocytes, when stimulated by various lectins, produce lymphokin-like substances with mitogenic properties as shown in earlier studies; they are correlated with Interleukin genes. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2013 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Serum Interleukin-8 (CXCL8) Concentrations in Tumor Bearing DogsMelanie Haas, Franz-Josef Kaup, Stephan NeumannInterleukin-8 (IL-8 or CXCL8) is a pro-inflammatory and angiogenic chemokine involved in tumorigenesis. Serum CXCL8 is elevated in various neoplastic diseases, but its potential value as a tumor marker in veterinary medicine is unknown. Here, we measured serum CXCL8 concentrations in dogs with various neoplastic diseases using a commercially available canine ELISA kit and analyzed its relationship with patient and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2015 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAlterations in Interleukin-1β and Interleukin-6 in Mice Inoculated Through the Oral Routes Using Graded Doses of p. Multocida Type b: 2 and its LipopolysaccharideOmar Suwaidan Ali, Lawan Adamu, Faez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah et al.The gram-negative bacterium Pasteurella multocida serotype B: 2 is an important veterinary and opportunistic human pathogen that causes deplorable welfare problems and colossal economic production losses in bovine and other animal species throughout the world. Pasteurella multocida type B: 2 and its LPS are associated with Haemorrhagic Septicaemia (HS) in mice as animal model. Sixty healthy Balb c mice were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInterleukin-10, Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance in Normal PregnancyAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Reza Farjam, Mohammad Hassan Davami et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether serum of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) Concentration change during normal pregnancy and, if so, to relate these changes corresponding alterations in insulin resistance and blood pressure. Approach: This cross sectional study was carried out on 86 healthy pregnant women including 26, 23 and 37 individuals in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,815 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of a Prophylactic Dose of Ibuprofen on Plasma Level of Interleukin 1, Interleukin 6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in a 1500 m Running PracticeGholamreza Sepehri, Mohammad Pourranjbar, Ghollam-Reza Moshtaghi-Kashanian et al.Problem statement: there are controversies about the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on exercised induced changes on plasma cytokines in untrained male athletes, so the primary purpose of this study was to measure the influence of a prophylactic dose of ibuprofen use on plasma cytokines during a 1500 m running race. Approach: Subjects were 10 untrained male Medical University students who … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProtection against Lipopolysaccharide-induced Death by An Anti-Interleukin-6 Monoclonal AntibodyBailin Liang, Debra Gardner, Don Griswold, Xiao-yu R. SongSepticemia is frequently associated with serious complications and high mortality despite recent advances in treatment with antibacterial agents. Infectious organisms or their soluble products initiate septic shock through a complex cytokine cascade. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced excessive production of inflammatory cytokines is regarded as a model of septic shock. Experiments of LPS-induced excessive cytokine production were conducted in Balb/c mice for … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInterleukin 10 Induces the Maturation of Putative Tolerogenic Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells as Revealed by GeneArray AnalysisMarianne A. Jakobsen, Bjarne K. MØller, Klaus Rieneck et al.IL-10 is a multifunctional cytokine with known inhibitory effect on DC maturation. In the present study, we show that the presence of IL-10 during the first 6 days of maturation of Mo-DC has severe effects on the phenotype with IL-10 treated Mo-DC retaining a high expression of factors involved in antigen uptake and having low expression of costimulatory factors and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalyses of the Interleukin32 Transcript Variants in Breast Cancer Cell LinesKayla Burrell, Audrey PlayerRecent data show the IL32 gene has at least nine transcript variants. The aim of this current study is to characterize the different transcript variants based on the latest sequencing data deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and determine which variants are responsible for the differential pattern of gene expression previously observed in MCF7 compared to MDA … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2016 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,073 accessesView PDFCite
