Cysteine Redox Potential Determines Pro-Inflammatory IL-1β Levels
BACKGROUND Cysteine (Cys) and its disulfide, cystine (CySS) represent the major extracellular thiol/disulfide redox control system. The redox potential (E(h)) of Cys/CySS is centered at approximately -80 mV in the plasma of healthy adults, and oxidation of E(h) Cys/CySS is implicated in inflammation associated with various diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The purpose of the present st...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes provoke inflammation by inducing the pro-inflammatory genes IL-1β and IL-6.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are largely produced and widely used because of their novel features, and the annual yield is expected to increase dramatically in the near future. Meanwhile, adverse health influences from exposure to CNTs are widely concerned, partially due to their asbestoid characteristics. In the current study, to assess the inflammatory responses and related mechanisms, we establis...
متن کاملElevated levels of anti inflammatory IL-10 and pro inflammatory IL-17 in malignant pleural effusions
BACKGROUND Pleural effusions can be caused by highly different underlying diseases and are characterized by complex interactions of various local and circulating cells as well as numerous soluble parameters like interleukins (IL). Knowledge of this complex network can be helpful in order to make the differential diagnosis in known malignant pleural effusions and understand the underlying immuno...
متن کاملData on pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-17, and IL-6 in the peripheral blood of HIV-infected individuals
Our most recent data indicate differences in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-17, and IL-6) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a stable end-product of lipid peroxidation in the plasma samples between HIV positive individuals with low CD4 T cell counts <200 mm(3) and HIV positive individuals with CD4 T cell counts between 200 and 300 mm(3) (ee). The data lend support and provide valua...
متن کاملMultiple Cathepsins Promote Pro-IL-1β Synthesis and NLRP3-Mediated IL-1β Activation.
Sterile particles induce robust inflammatory responses that underlie the pathogenesis of diseases like silicosis, gout, and atherosclerosis. A key cytokine mediating this response is IL-1β. The generation of bioactive IL-1β by sterile particles is mediated by the NOD-like receptor containing a pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, although exactly how this occurs is incompletely resolved. Prior ...
