Hemophagocytosis causes a consumptive anemia of inflammation
Cytopenias of uncertain etiology are commonly observed in patients during severe inflammation. Hemophagocytosis, the histological appearance of blood-eating macrophages, is seen in the disorder hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and other inflammatory contexts. Although it is hypothesized that these phenomena are linked, the mechanisms facilitating acute inflammation-associated cytopenias are u...
متن کاملHigh levels of interferon-gamma (IFNγ) in macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and CXCL9 levels as a biomarker for IFNγ production in MAS
Objectives Given the similarities between primary and secondary HLH (sec-HLH), including MAS, we measured levels of IFNg, IFNg-related chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXLC11), and IL-6 in patients with sec-HLH, and in patients with systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) with or without MAS at sampling and evaluated their relation to disease activity. In addition, we evaluated the correlation ...
متن کاملCo-infection of macrophages modulates interferon gamma and tumor necrosis factor-induced activation against intracellular pathogens
Co-infection of macrophages (M phi) with Toxoplasma gondii and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) has been observed in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this study we have demonstrated that co-infected murine M phi respond differently to cytokine stimulation than M phi infected with either of the microorganisms alone. Whereas treatment with interferon gam...
متن کاملInterferon and alternative activation of monocyte/macrophages in systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between biomarkers of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), interferon (IFN)-regulated gene expression, and the alternative activation pathway in systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified from healthy controls, patients with idiopathic PAH, and SSc patients (classified as having diffuse cutaneous SSc, limi...
متن کاملSalicylate-enhanced activation of transcription factors induced by interferon-gamma.
Salicylate enhanced the interferon-gamma-dependent activation of two transcription factors in a murine macrophage cell line: signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 and interferon-gamma-responsive factor 1. Salicylate alone did not activate these transcription factors. This enhancement was reflected by increased DNA-binding activities and was the consequence of prolonged tyrosi...
