Antiarthritic effect of VIP in relation to the host resistance against Candida albicans infection.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is one of the prospective candidates for clinical application in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its antiarthritic effect is associated with the suppression of inflammatory and autoimmune responses. The ability of VIP to trigger a shift towards Th2 immunity suggests that anti-infectious host resistance might be affected. In the present study VIP was applied at the...
متن کاملModulating Host Signaling Pathways to Promote Resistance to Infection by Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a common human fungal pathogen capable of causing serious systemic infections that can progress to become lethal. Current therapeutic approaches have limited effectiveness, especially once a systemic infection is established, in part due to the lack of an effective immune response. Boosting the immune response to C. albicans has been the goal of immunotherapy, but it has to ...
متن کاملHost response to Candida albicans bloodstream infection and sepsis
Candida albicans is a major cause of bloodstream infection which may present as sepsis and septic shock - major causes of morbidity and mortality world-wide. After invasion of the pathogen, innate mechanisms govern the early response. Here, we outline the models used to study these mechanisms and summarize our current understanding of innate immune responses during Candida bloodstream infection...
متن کاملAntifungal Effect of Echinophora Platyloba' s Extract against Candida albicans
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of the ethanolic extract of Echinophora platyloba DC. on Candida albicans. Using the agar dilution method, the growth condition of standard Candida albicans ATCC 10231, cultured on the media containing plant extracts at different concentrations (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 and 256 mg/ml) was studied. The results were recorded twenty one...
