Interleukin-1 Family Cytokines in Liver Diseases
The gene encoding IL-1 was sequenced more than 30 years ago, and many related cytokines, such as IL-18, IL-33, IL-36, IL-37, IL-38, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), and IL-36Ra, have since been identified. IL-1 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine and is involved in various inflammatory diseases. Other IL-1 family ligands are critical for the development of diverse diseases, including inflamm...
متن کاملCytokines in infectious diseases
Interest in cytokines in infection is increasing exponentially both because of the central role these peptide molecules have in immune responses in a wide spectrum of human responses in health and disease1 and because they are likely to be pivotal in the development of new therapies and vaccine strategies. Immunity to infections and attempts by pathogens to avoid the host defence system provide...
متن کاملCytokines, STATs and liver disease.
The Janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway, activated by more than 50 cytokines or growth factors, plays critical roles in a wide variety of cellular functions in the hematopoietic, immune, neuronal and hepatic systems. In the liver, this signaling pathway, activated by more than 20 cytokines, growth factors, hormones, and hepatitis viral pr...
متن کاملFecal Microbiota Transplantation in Liver Diseases and Recent Developments
Introduction: The intestine, as an important part of the human gastrointestinal tract, provides a favorable milieu for the growth and development of a diverse and large population (approximately 1000 species) of bacteria. Currently, the presence of a cohesive relationship between intestinal bacteria and the host is being well studied and identified. According to the available scientific evidenc...
متن کاملCytokines in chronic respiratory diseases
Cytokines are small, secreted proteins that control immune responses. Within the lung, they can control host responses to injuries or infection, resulting in clearance of the insult, repair of lung tissue, and return to homeostasis. Problems can arise when this response is over exuberant and/or cytokine production becomes dysregulated. In such cases, chronic and repeated inflammatory reactions ...
