To the Penn scientists, the findings indicate that blocking the CCL2 - CCR2
inflammatory pathway in pancreatic cancer is worth investigating
as an add - on to radiation therapy, not just to chemotherapy.
They found that the compound reduces levels of a key protein — known
as IkappaBzeta — in the IL - 17
inflammatory pathway.
On the flip side, turning up expression of these genes or their
pathways could help researchers grow new intestinal tissue to replace tissue destroyed by diseases such
as inflammatory bowel disease or radiation treatment for cancer.
The compound suppresses an
inflammatory pathway that is overactive in many autoimmune diseases, suggesting that it may be effective against multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and other autoimmune diseases
as well
as psoriasis.
Strikingly, diseases such
as rheumatoid arthritis all feature
inflammatory processes driven by JAK / STAT activity and the effectiveness of MTX in these
inflammatory diseases may well be a consequence of its ability to dampen the JAK / STAT
pathway.
As an Associate Professor at OSU, my research has been concentrated in the areas of aging, neuroimmunology, and neurotrauma.Overall, my research aim is to determine the degree to which the bi-directional communication between the brain and the immune system is affected by age, stress, and traumatic CNS injury and to delineate the mechanism by which
inflammatory cytokine
pathways cause long - lasting complications (e.g., cognitive decline and depression).
Development of inhibitors of metabolic
pathways to block oncogenes or signalling molecules in malignant processes and specific
inflammatory processes, such
as pulmonary artery hypertension or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
New biological treatments using antibodies or antagonists against receptors or
inflammatory enzyme inhibitors (e.g. CXCR2 antagonists, phosphodiesterase - 4 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists and kinase inhibitors) to suppress
inflammatory pathways in diseases such
as asthma, COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension.
Certain metabolites, such
as fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol crystals, elicit
inflammatory responses through pathogen - sensing signalling
pathways, implicating a maladaptation of macrophages and the innate immune system to elevated metabolic stress associated with overnutrition in modern societies.
Peroxisome proliferator - activated receptors (PPAR) are a family of transcription factors induced by various ligands that act
as anti-
inflammatory agents by interfering with
inflammatory signaling cascades, including the NFκB
pathway.
Removing the
inflammatory foods will then help your body to heal
as the reactants will no longer be able to activate immune
pathways.
In today's high - stress, high -
inflammatory world, I see this frequently and it's usually
as a result of a suppressed HPG (hypothalamus, pituitary, gonadal) communication
pathway.
As anticipated, since we are working with blood samples, the inflammatory and immune response categories with specific signaling pathway such as cytokines signaling between immune cells, IL - 6 and IL - 10 signaling were identified in our analysi
