  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.

    Cytokines also play a role in anti-inflammatory pathways and are a possible therapeutic treatment for pathological pain from inflammation or peripheral nerve injury. [22] There are both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines that regulate this [clarification needed] pathway.

  4. Alloimmunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloimmunity

    This is influenced by cytokine microenvironment, as mentioned before, where CD4 + T-lymphocytes are activated and also by inflammation level (because pathogens invading organism activate the immune system to various degrees and causing proinflammatory cytokine secretion, therefore they support the rejection). [24]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Autoinflammatory diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoinflammatory_diseases

    Their mutations induce increased and/or prolonged secretion of IL-1β, a pro-inflammatory and pyrogenic cytokine. [4] Patients with AIDs often suffer from non-infectious fever and systemic and/or disease-specific organ inflammation. The over-secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines leads to organ damage and can be life-threatening.

  7. Interleukin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin

    Interleukin 3 (IL3) is a cytokine that regulates hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation and function of granulocytes and macrophages. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The protein, which exists in vivo as a monomer, is produced in activated T cells and mast cells, [ 15 ] [ 16 ] and is activated by the cleavage of an N-terminal signal sequence.

  8. Interleukin 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleukin_6

    Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an interleukin that acts as both a pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory myokine. In humans, it is encoded by the IL6 gene. [5] In addition, osteoblasts secrete IL-6 to stimulate osteoclast formation. Smooth muscle cells in the tunica media of many blood vessels also produce IL-6 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine.

  9. 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 ...
