  2. Inflammatory cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_cytokine

    Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α also trigger pathological pain. [1] While IL-1β is released by monocytes and macrophages, it is also present in nociceptive DRG neurons. IL-6 plays a role in neuronal reaction to an injury. TNF-α is a well known proinflammatory cytokine present in neurons and the glia.

CCL4 belongs to a cluster of genes located on 17q11-q21 of the ...

  4. Caspase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caspase

    Caspase-1 is key in activating pro-inflammatory cytokines; these act as signals to immune cells and make the environment favourable for immune cell recruitment to the site of damage. Caspase-1 therefore plays a fundamental role in the innate immune system .

  5. Macrophage inflammatory protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage_inflammatory...

    MIP-1α and MIP-1β are major factors produced by macrophages and monocytes after they are stimulated with bacterial endotoxin [5] or proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β. [4] But it appears that they can be expressed by all hematopoietic cells and some tissue cells such as fibroblasts, epithelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells or ...

  6. Inflammaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammaging

    1] Factors involved in Inflammaging Aging leads to perturbations in cellular homeostasis leading to inflammaging that results in pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Inflammaging (also known as inflamm-aging or inflamm-ageing ) is a chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation that develops with advanced age, in the absence of overt infection, and ...

  7. Systemic inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_inflammation

    Chronic systemic inflammation (SI) is the result of release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from immune-related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system.It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune and neurodegenerative ...

  8. Cytokine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine

    [17] [18] The fact that cytokines themselves trigger the release of other cytokines [19] [20] [21] and also lead to increased oxidative stress makes them important in chronic inflammation, as well as other immunoresponses, such as fever and acute phase proteins of the liver (IL-1,6,12, IFN-a). Cytokines also play a role in anti-inflammatory ...

  9. Pyroptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroptosis

    These caspases contribute to the maturation and activation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, as well as the pore-forming protein gasdermin D. Formation of pores causes cell membrane rupture and release of cytokines, as well as various damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules such as HMGB-1, ATP and DNA, out of the ...
