Cortistatin, a new antiinflammatory peptide with therapeutic effect on lethal endotoxemia
Cortistatin is a recently discovered cyclic neuropeptide related to somatostatin that has emerged as a potential endogenous antiinflammatory factor based on its production by and binding to immune cells. Because human septic shock involves excessive inflammatory cytokine production, we investigated the effect of cortistatin on the production of inflammatory mediators and its therapeutic action ...

Cortistatin is a recently discovered cyclic neuropeptide related to somatostatin that has emerged as a potential endogenous antiinflammatory factor based on its production by, and binding to, immune cells. Crohn's disease is a chronic debilitating disease characterized by severe T helper 1 (Th1)-driven inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study is to investigate the thera...
متن کاملSplenectomy inactivates the cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway during lethal endotoxemia and polymicrobial sepsis
The innate immune system protects against infection and tissue injury through the specialized organs of the reticuloendothelial system, including the lungs, liver, and spleen. The central nervous system regulates innate immune responses via the vagus nerve, a mechanism termed the cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway. Vagus nerve stimulation inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production by signal...
متن کاملP 99: Self-Assembling Peptide Scaffolds as New Therapeutic Method in TBI: Focused on Bioactive Motifs
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common reason of brain tissue loss as a result of tumors, accidents, and surgeries. Renewal of the brain parenchyma is restricted by many reasons such as inimical substances produced as the result of trauma and also inflammatory responses. A strong cascade of inflammatory responses begins as a result of TBI which include recalling peripheral leukocytes into the...
متن کاملEffect of plasma phospholipid transfer protein deficiency on lethal endotoxemia in mice.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are components of Gram-negative bacteria. The cellular response from the host to LPS is mediated through stepwise interactions involving the lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), CD14, and MD-2, which produces the rearrangement of TLR4. In addition to LBP, the lipid transfer/lipopolysaccharide-binding protein gene family includes the phospholipid transfer protein (...
