Enterocolitis induced by autoimmune targeting of enteric glial cells: a possible mechanism in Crohn's disease?
Early pathological manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD) include vascular disruption, T cell infiltration of nerve plexi, neuronal degeneration, and induction of T helper 1 cytokine responses. This study demonstrates that disruption of the enteric glial cell network in CD patients represents another early pathological feature that may be modeled after CD8(+) T cell-mediated autoimmune targetin...
متن کاملschwann cells preserve vision in retinal degenerative disease by reducing oxidative stress: a possible mechanism
after central nervous system (cns) injuries, the regeneration process does not work out well except for remyelination process. this remyelination capacity in cns can be mentioned as a worthy example of stem/precursor cell-mediated renewal process. remyelination in cns is mediated by schwann cells which act mainly as remyelinating agents in peripheral nervous system (pns) but several studies hav...
متن کاملCancer virotherapy: Targeting cancer cells by microRNA mechanism for selective replication of oncolytic viruses in these cells
Cancer, as one of the most serious public health problems, is the second-leading cause of death in the world after cardiovascular disease. The number of patients and the resulting mortality are increasing worldwide; therefore, early diagnosis, prevention, and effective treatment of cancer are very important. Current treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often non-selective a...
متن کاملInterstitial cells of Cajal, enteric nerves, and glial cells in colonic diverticular disease.
BACKGROUND Colonic diverticular disease (diverticulosis) is a common disorder in Western countries. Although its pathogenesis is probably multifactorial, motor abnormalities of the large bowel are thought to play an important role. However, little is known about the basic mechanism that may underlie abnormal colon motility in diverticulosis. AIMS To investigate the interstitial cells of Cajal...
متن کاملSpermatogonia apoptosis induction as a possible mechanism of Toxoplasma gondii induced male infertility
Objective(s): The protozoan Toxoplasma gondii as an intracellular protozoan is widely prevalent in humans and animals. Infection generally occurs through consuming food contaminated with oocysts and tissue cysts from undercooked meat. The parasite is carried in sexual fluids like semen but there is little information about the effect of T. gondii on the male reproducti...
