Insulin-like growth factor-I stimulates IL-10 production in human T cellsJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 76 Số 4 - Trang 862-867 - 2004
Ron Kooijman, Astrid Coppens
AbstractThere is vast body of evidence that the insulin-like growth factor
(IGF)-I exerts immunomodulatory effects in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies
indicate that stimulatory effects of IGF-I may be exerted through augmentation
of inflammatory cytokine production. To further explore the immunomodulatory
effects of IGF-I through regulation of cytokine production, we tested the in
vitro effects... hiện toàn bộ
A leading role for the immune system in the pathophysiology of preeclampsiaJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 94 Số 2 - Trang 247-257 - 2013
Estibalitz Laresgoiti‐Servitje
ABSTRACTPreeclampsia syndrome is characterized by inadequate placentation,
because of deficient trophoblastic invasion of the uterine spiral arteries,
leading to placental hypoxia, secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, the
release of angiogenic and antiangiogenic factors and miRNAs. Although
immune-system alterations are associated with the origin of preeclampsia, other
factors, including proinf... hiện toàn bộ
Requirement for STAT1 in LPS-induced gene expression in macrophagesJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 69 Số 4 - Trang 598-604 - 2001
Yoshihiro Ohmori, Thomas A. Hamilton
AbstractThis study examines the role of the signal transducer and activator of
transcription 1 (STAT1) in induction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated gene
expression both in vitro and in vivo. LPS-induced expression of an interferon
(IFN)-inducible 10-kDa protein (IP-10), IFN regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), and
inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNAs was severely impaired in
macrophages pre... hiện toàn bộ
Adiponectin is produced by lymphocytes and is a negative regulator of granulopoiesisJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 88 Số 4 - Trang 807-811 - 2010
Lisa Crawford, Roy W A Peake, Susan Price, T. C. M. Morris, Alexandra E. Irvine
Abstract Transcription, translation, and secretion of adiponectin by lymphocytes
is shown with receptors for adiponectin expressed on bone marrow mononuclear
cells. Lymphocytes have long been established to play an important role in the
regulation of hematopoiesis and produce many cytokines that act on hematopoietic
progenitor cells. Previous studies by our group have shown that normal,
unstimulat... hiện toàn bộ
Accelerated wound closure in neutrophil-depleted miceJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 73 Số 4 - Trang 448-455 - 2003
Julia V. Dovi, Li‐Ke He, Luisa A. DiPietro
Abstract The infiltration of neutrophils into injured tissue is known to protect
wounds from invading pathogens. However, more recent studies suggest that
neutrophils might inhibit the wound repair process. To investigate the role of
neutrophils in wounds, mice were neutrophil-depleted by injection with rabbit
anti-mouse neutrophil serum. Remarkably, epidermal healing, measured by wound
closure, p... hiện toàn bộ
Monocyte heterogeneity and functions in cancerJournal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 106 Số 2 - Trang 309-322 - 2019
Claire Olingy, Huy Q. Dinh, Catherine C. Hedrick
Abstract Monocytes are innate immune cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system
that have emerged as important regulators of cancer development and progression.
Our understanding of monocytes has advanced from viewing these cells as a
homogenous population to a heterogeneous system of cells that display diverse
responses to different stimuli. During cancer, different monocyte subsets
perform functi... hiện toàn bộ
Endothelins modulate inflammatory reaction in zymosan-induced arthritis: participation of LTB4, TNF-α, and CXCL-1Journal of Leukocyte Biology - Tập 84 Số 3 - Trang 652-660 - 2008
Fernando Conte, Christina Barja‐Fidalgo, Waldiceu A. Verri, Fernando Q. Cunha, Giles A. Rae, Carmen Penido, Maria das Graças
AbstractEndothelins (ETs) are involved in inflammatory events, including pain,
fever, edema, and cell migration. ET-1 levels are increased in plasma and
synovial membrane of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, but the evidence that
ETs participate in RA physiopathology is limited. The present study investigated
the involvement of ETs in neutrophil accumulation and edema formation in the
murine mod... hiện toàn bộ
