Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Disease—A Double-Edged Sword
Inflammation is a defense reaction against diverse insults, designed to remove noxious agents and to inhibit their detrimental effects. It consists of a dazzling array of molecular and cellular mechanisms and an intricate network of controls to keep them in check. In neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation may be triggered by the accumulation of proteins with abnormal conformations or by signa...
متن کاملInflammation-associated lymphangiogenesis: a double-edged sword?
Lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel remodeling are complex biological processes frequently observed during inflammation. Accumulating evidence indicates that inflammation-associated lymphangiogenesis (IAL) is not merely an endpoint event, but actually a phenomenon actively involved in the pathophysiology of various inflammatory disorders. The VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 and VEGF-A/VEGF-R2 signaling pathw...
متن کاملGangliosides as a Double-Edged Sword in Neurodegenerative Disease
Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycolipids that are mainly localized in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of vertebrate cells and are involved in diverse physiological functions such as cell growth, differentiation, and cell-cell recognition(Hakomori, 1990). In the nervous system, gangliosides are highly expressed in neurons and are implicated in neurite outgrowth, synaptogenesi...
متن کاملA Double-Edged Sword?
The enormous benefits of inhibition of ACE demonstrate that manipulation of the metabolism of peptide hormones is a valuable therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease. Recent attempts to expand these benefits have combined ACE inhibition with inhibition of other peptidases such as neutral endopeptidase (NEP) in a single molecule, a strategy known as vasopeptidase inhibition. NEP metaboliz...
متن کاملThe double-edged sword of neutrophilic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that is increasingly acquiring a greater epidemiological importance [1]. Its pathogenesis has two main characteristics: bronchial infection and bronchial inflammation. Although bronchial inflammation is mostly (but not always) caused by the bronchial infection, bronchial inflammation is an essential precondition for the development of bron...
