Chemokines in the brain: neuroimmunology and beyond.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemokines in the brain have been recognised as essential elements in neurodegenerative diseases and related neuroinflammation. Recent studies suggest that in addition to the orchestration of chemotaxis of immune cells, chemokines are also involved in neurodevelopment and neurophysiological signalling.

Effects of maternal exposure to LPS on the inflammatory response in the offspring.
To investigate the effects of maternal infection on the offspring's inflammatory response, pups born to LPS- or saline-treated dams were stimulated with LPS or saline, and the expression of cytokines and chemokines was examined. We found that at P21, pups born to LPS-treated dams exhibited diminished serum levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6, and inhibited mRNA levels of cytokines, includin...
متن کاملA kinetic study of the cytokine/chemokines levels and disruption of blood-brain barrier in infant rats after pneumococcal meningitis
Bacterial meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges and subarachnoid space that occurs in response of bacteria. Young children are particularly vulnerable to bacterial meningitis, two thirds of meningitis deaths in low-income countries occur among children under the age of fifteen. The main bacterial pathogens causing meningitis beyond the neonatal period are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemo...
متن کاملP 104: Effects of Human Neural Stem Cells in Cure Neuroinflammation of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an external mechanical injury to the brain. Neuroinflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of TBI. Microglia and astrocytes play a central role in the initiation and regulation of inflammation. Numerous pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) released by microglia. In ...
متن کاملP108: Microglia in Traumatic Brain Injury
Microglia is one of the first innate immune components. These cells account about 5 to 10% of the entire adult brain cells and are activated by trauma. Complex-mediated inflammatory responses occur through cellular and molecular events during and after the traumatic brain injury (TBI). In-lesion area astrocytes, microglia, and damaged neurons begin to secrete cytokines and chemokines. Microglia...
متن کاملThe role of chemokines and chemokine receptors in mycosis fungoides
Background: Chemokines are a family of cytokines initially characterized by their capacity to induce chemotaxis, or directed leukocyte migrations. These receptors are activated by chemotactic cytokines called chemokines. Interactions between chemokines and chemokine receptors also are involved in tumorigenesis, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells.Methods: An English literature search...
