The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 4 in Infectious and Noninfectious Inflammation by Monica Molteni, Sabrina Gemma, Carlo Rossetti

“…TLR4-mediated inflammation, triggered by exogenous or endogenous ligands, is also involved in several acute and chronic diseases, having a pivotal role as amplifier of the inflammatory response. This review focuses on the research progress about the role of TLR4 activation in infectious and noninfectious (e.g., sterile) inflammation and the effects of TLR4 signaling in some pathological conditions.…”

Cytokine and Growth Factor Activation In Vivo and In Vitro after Spinal Cord Injury by Elisa Garcia, Jorge Aguilar-Cevallos, Raul Silva-Garcia, Antonio Ibarra

“…These mechanisms include the disruption of the spinal cord blood barrier, edema and ion imbalance, in particular intracellular calcium and sodium concentrations, glutamate excitotoxicity, free radicals, and the inflammatory response contributing to the neurodegenerative process which is characterized by demyelination and apoptosis of neuronal tissue.…”

Systemic and Local CC Chemokines Production in a Murine Model of Listeria monocytogenes Infection by Marina Bubonja, Branka Wraber, Gordana Brumini, Ivana Gobin, Danijela Veljkovic, Maja Abram

“…The liver-to-serum ratio was more pronounced in the case of macrophage inflammatory protein 1α (MIP-1α), suggesting its role in the inflammatory response in the liver. The ratio of brain-to-serum concentration of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) remained the same as in the control animals, while it was lower in the infected mice, both in the case MIP-1α and in the case of regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). …”

Role of Helicobacter pylori in the Pathogenesis of Gastric Carcinoma and Progression of Lymphoid Nodules to Lymphoma by M Guindi

“…The potential mechanisms of gastric carcinogenesis include transformation of the gastric mucosa by metabolic products of H pylori, transformation of the host cell by incorporation of H pylori DNA and genotoxic effects of the inflammatory response to the organism. A model for gastric carcinogenesis is proposed in which H pylori causes cell proliferation, and the risk of DNA damage is increased, leading to inadequate repair and malignant transformation. …”

Cytokines and Myelination in the Central Nervous System by Thomas Schmitz, Li-Jin Chew

“…Many cytokines are virtually undetectable in the uninflamed central nervous system (CNS), so that their rapid induction and sustained elevation in immune and glial cells contributes to dysregulation of the inflammatory response and neural cell homeostasis. This results in aberrant neural cell development, cytotoxicity, and loss of the primary myelin-producing cells of the CNS, the oligodendrocytes. …”

NF-κB Inhibitory Activity of the Di-Hydroxy Derivative of Piperlongumine (PL-18) by Yael Schlichter Kadosh, Subramani Muthuraman, Ariel Kushmaro, Rajendran Saravana Kumar, Jacob Gopas

“…We found that piperlongumine (PL)-18, a di-hydroxy derivative of PL from long pepper, inhibits the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), a master transcription factor of numerous components of the inflammatory response. NF-kB was inhibited by PL-18 in two human cell-lines, L428 and A549, by preventing the nuclear translocation of p65 NF-kB. …”
