CD4+  Foxp3+ Regulatory T-cells in Modulating Inflammatory Microenvironment in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: Progress and Future Prospect
Cytokine. 2024 Mar 6;178:156557. doi: 10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156557. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) characterized by the presence of nasal polyps (NP) in the paranasal mucosa. Despite the complex etiology, NP is believed to result from chronic inflammation. The long-term aftermath of the type 2 response is responsible for symptoms seen in NP patients, i.e. rhinorrhea, hyposmia, and nasal obstruction. Immune cellular tolerogenic mechanisms, particularly CD4 + Foxp3 + regulatory T cells (Tregs), are crucial to curtail inflammatory resp...

Cytokine storm in human monkeypox: A possible involvement of purinergic signaling
Cytokine. 2024 Mar 5;177:156560. doi: 10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156560. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSome evidence has indicated that monkeypox can induce a cytokine storm. Purinergic signaling is a cell pathway related to the cytokine storm. However, the precise mechanisms that lead to cytokine storms in monkeypox infections and the possible involvement of purinergic signaling in the immune response to this virus remain unknown. In this review article, we aimed to highlight a body of scientific evidence that consolidates the role of the cytokine storm in monkeypox infection and proposes a new hypothesis regarding the roles of ...

Plasmatic profiles of cytokines/chemokines, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and MRI brain damage in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)
CONCLUSION: In a small number of infants with worse brain MRI, we found higher levels of GFAP and of IL-10 at T4 and a trend toward low IL-18 levels than in infants with normal MRI, considered early biomarker of brain damage and a predictor of adverse outcome, respectively. The greatest, although not significant, difference between the levels of molecules was found in cases and controls at time points T2 and T3, during TH.PMID:38442443 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156565 (Source: Cytokine)

Investigation of IL-6 serum level in COVID-19 patients with positive COVID-19 IgG/IgM antibody titers to check inflammation and disease progression
CONCLUSION: As a result, the relationship between different serum levels of cytokine IL-6 with different titers of IgM and IgG antibodies was observed in both male and female populations. In general, it can be concluded that the correlation between different concentrations of IL-6 with different IgM titers was similar in both men and women, but in the case of different IgG titers, this correlation was higher in women than men.PMID:38432065 | DOI:10.1016/j.cyto.2024.156564 (Source: Cytokine)

Hookworm infection as a model for deepen knowledge of iron metabolism and erythropoiesis in anemia
In this study we investigated the effects of hookworm infection on iron metabolism and how the hosts response to anemia is affected using hamsters infected with Ancylostoma ceylanicum as a model. Our data revealed interesting relationships between infection-induced anemia, erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, and immune modulation, such that the elevated production of erythropoietin (EPO) in renal tissue indicated intensified erythropoiesis in response to anemia. Additionally, the increased expression of the erythroferrone (ERFE) gene in the spleen suggested its involvement in iron regulation and erythropoiesis. Gene expressio...
