Cystatins in Immune System
Cystatins comprise a large superfamily of related proteins with diverse biological activities. They were initially characterised as inhibitors of lysosomal cysteine proteases, however, in recent years some alternative functions for cystatins have been proposed. Cystatins possessing inhibitory function are members of three families, family I (stefins), family II (cystatins) and family III (kinin...
متن کاملEffects of Maternal Immune System Status on Neonate’s Immune System
Background: This study evaluated the effects of the maternal immune system stimulation or suppression during the pregnancy on the development of the neonate’s immune system.Methods: A total of 20 female rats were divided into four groups. The groups were treated using Leishmania major, Salmonella typhimurium, Tacrolimus, and sterilized normal saline. The animals were mated after 3-time tr...
متن کاملNutrition and Immune System
تداوم سلامتی انسان با سیستم ایمنی بدن مرتبط است. این سیستم از بافتهای متنوع، سلولها و عواملی تشکیل شده است که از بدن در مقابل آنتی ژنهای مضر و پاتوژنها حفاظت می کند. سلولهای ایمنی در زمان وجود عفونت جهت محدود کردن ضایعات سلولی و بافتی، تجمع می یابند. یک شبکه نظارت متشکل از سلولهای ایمنی در تشخیص سلولهای غیر طبیعی عمل می کنند. توانایی بدن در محافظت از خود در برابر عوامل خارجی، بخصوص باکتریها، و...
متن کاملInnate Immune Response in Brain, NF-Kappa B Signaling and Cystatins
Recently several reports have demonstrated that innate immune response and inflammation have an important role in major neurodegenerative diseases. The activation of the NF-κB family of transcription factors is a key step in the regulation of pro inflammatory cytokine expression. Microglia and other cell types in the brain can be activated in response to endogenous danger molecules as well as a...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of cystatins in cancer.
Cystatins function as cysteine protease inhibitors, are expressed in numerous cell types, and regulate a number of physiological processes. Four cystatins have been extensively studied: cystatin A, cystatin B, cystatin C, and cystatin M. Aberrant regulation of cystatins occurs in a number of diseases, including cancer and certain neurodegenerative disorders. Recent advances in the understanding...
