Association between NOS3 gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to congenital heart Disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: rs1799983 (G894T) and rs7830 (G10T) polymorphic sites might play a role in the susceptibility of sporadic congenital heart disease and increase the risk of CHD. Yet, it is still necessary to expand the sample size and conduct more prospective/retrospective studies to confirm whether the rs2070744 (T-786C) polymorphism tended to increase the incidence of CHD.PMID:37952311 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156415 (Source: Cytokine)

Non-coding RNAs involved in fibroblast-like synoviocyte functioning in arthritis rheumatoid: From pathogenesis to therapy
Cytokine. 2023 Nov 10;173:156418. doi: 10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156418. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a polygenic autoimmune disorder with an uncertain etiology, primarily impacting the joints. Moreover, the disease may manifest beyond articular involvement, leading to extra-articular manifestations. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are cells of mesenchymal origin that possess crucial physiological significance within the synovium, contributing to the synthesis of specific constituents found in the synovial fluid and articular cartilage. Consequently, there has been a growing focus on FLS as a pot...

An emerging body of evidence suggests that the activities of that neuropeptide are not limited to the GH/IGF-I axis, but they expand towards the mediation of inflammatory processes. GHRHAnt were developed to oppose the activities of GHRH in malignancies, and have been associated with strong anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects in a diverse variety of tissues, including the lungs.

Leishmania antigens activated CD4 < sup > + < /sup > T cells expressing CD200R receptors are the prime IL-10 producing phenotype and an important determinant of visceral leishmaniasis pathogenesis
In this study, we reveal that antigen-activated CD4+ T cells, i.e., CD44+CD4+ T cells expressing CD200R receptors, are the prime IL-10-producing phenotypes in Leishmania donovani infection-induced pathogenesis. These phenotypes are separate from CD25+Foxp3+CD4+ T regulatory cells, which are classical IL-10-producing phenotypes. In order to ascertain the role of CD200R and CD25 receptors in IL-10 overexpression-associated VL pathogenesis, we abrogated CD200R and CD25 receptor-mediated signaling in the infected mice. The splenic load of parasites and the size of the liver and spleen were significantly reduced in CD200-blocke...

Role of cGAS-STING in colorectal cancer: A new window for treatment strategies
Cytokine. 2023 Nov 8;173:156422. doi: 10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156422. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and deadly form of cancer, leading to the need for new therapeutic targets and strategies for treatment. Recent studies have shown the cGAS-STING pathway to be a promising target for cancer therapy. The cGAS-STING pathway is a part of the innate immune system and serves to identify DNA damage and viral infection, promoting an immune response. Activation of this pathway leads to the production of immune mediators, such as type I interferons, that activate immune cells to attack cancer cells. Re...

Hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors in head and neck cancers: Recent advances and therapeutic challenges
This article provides an in-depth review of the role of hematopoietic cytokines such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), and interleukin-3 (IL-3; also known as multi-CSF) in the HNCs tumor microenvironment. We have reviewed current results from clinical trials using CSFs as adjuvant therapy to treat HNCs patients, and also clinical findings reported to date on the therapeutic application of CSFs toxicities arising from chemoradiotherapy.PMID:37944421 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156417 (Source: Cytokine)
