T Cell Immunosenescence, Hypertension, and Arterial Stiffness
Immunosenescence is a concept used to describe the age-associated deterioration of immune function, characterized by functional and phenotypic changes on both cellular and systemic levels [1,2]. Immunosenescence in elderly people is associated with an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, impaired response to vaccinations, and increased incidence of cancer and autoimmunity [3-5]. Dur...
متن کاملChronic vitamin C deficiency does not accelerate oxidative stress in ageing brains of guinea pigs.
Increased oxidative stress in the brain has consistently been implied in ageing and in several degenerative brain disorders. Acting as a pivotal antioxidant in the brain, vitamin C is preferentially retained during deficiency and may play an essential role in neuroprotection during ageing. Thus, a lack of vitamin C could be associated with an increase in redox imbalance in the ageing brain. The...
متن کاملT-cell immunosenescence and inflammatory response in atomic bomb survivors.
In this paper we summarize the long-term effects of A-bomb radiation on the T-cell system and discuss the possible involvement of attenuated T-cell immunity in the disease development observed in A-bomb survivors. Our previous observations on such effects include impaired mitogen-dependent proliferation and IL-2 production, decreases in naive T-cell populations, and increased proportions of ane...
متن کاملMechanisms Underlying T Cell Immunosenescence: Aging and Cytomegalovirus Infection
The ability of the human immune system to protect against infectious disease declines with age and efficacy of vaccination reduces significantly in the elderly. Aging of the immune system, also termed as immunosenescence, involves many changes in human T cell immunity that is characterized by a loss in naïve T cell population and an increase in highly differentiated CD28- memory T cell subset. ...
متن کاملT‐cell Immunoglobulin and ITIM Domain Contributes to CD8+ T‐cell Immunosenescence
Aging is associated with immune dysfunction, especially T-cell defects, which result in increased susceptibility to various diseases. Previous studies showed that T cells from aged mice express multiple inhibitory receptors, providing evidence of the relationship between T-cell exhaustion and T-cell senescence. In this study, we showed that T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-base...
