Giant cell arteritis: pathogenic mechanisms and new potential therapeutic targets
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common idiopathic systemic vasculitis in persons aged 50 years or greater. Treatment options for GCA, to-date, have been limited and have consisted primarily of glucocorticoids. Significant advances in the understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms in GCA are leading to identification of potential pathogenic targets. The recent success of interle...
متن کاملMolecular pathogenesis of myocardial remodeling and new potential therapeutic targets in chronic heart failure
It is well known that the natural history of chronic heart failure (CHF),regardless of age and aetiology,is characterized by progressive cardiac dysfunction refractory to conventional cardiokinetic, diuretic and peripheral vasodilator therapy. Several previous studies, both in animals and humans, showed that the key pathogenetic element of CHF negative clinical evolution is constituted by myoca...
متن کاملCurrent paradigms about chemokines as therapeutic targets.
After the recognition of chemotactic cytokines as mediators of inflammation about a decade ago, specific chemokine antagonists are now approaching first clinical trials for non-renal indications [1]. In the field of nephrology, the potential of targeting the chemokine system has also gained much interest. In general, cytokines orchestrate cell–cell communication in order either to maintain tiss...
متن کاملChemokines in Chronic Liver Allograft Dysfunction Pathogenesis and Potential Therapeutic Targets
Despite advances in immunosuppressive drugs, long-term success of liver transplantation is still limited by the development of chronic liver allograft dysfunction. Although the exact pathogenesis of chronic liver allograft dysfunction remains to be established, there is strong evidence that chemokines are involved in organ damage induced by inflammatory and immune responses after liver surgery....
متن کاملChemokines and chemokine receptors as therapeutic targets in lupus nephritis.
Recruitment of leukocytes is a characteristic feature of tissue injury in systemic lupus erythematosus, including lupus nephritis. Locally secreted chemokines and their receptors are important mediators of leukocyte recruitment to the specific sites of immune complex injury, and contribute to renal inflammatory disease in the initiation and progression phase. Therefore, chemokines and chemokine...
