Interleukin-17A Exacerbates Ferric Chloride-Induced Arterial Thrombosis in Rat Carotid Artery by Francesco Maione, Antonio Parisi, Elisabetta Caiazzo, Silvana Morello, Fulvio D'Acquisto, Nicola Mascolo, Carla Cicala

“…In this study we expanded our previous observation and we describe for the first time an in vivo prothrombotic effect of the cytokine. Our results show that IL-17A is synergic with a low FeCl3 concentration in inducing carotid thrombus in rats and suggest that the effect is likely related to a downregulation of CD39 vascular expression and hydrolyzing activity. …”

EFFECTS OF MODERATELY VIRULENT AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VIRUS ON INTERLEUKIN-10 PRODUCTION by A. S. Pershin, I. V. Shevchenko, A. S. Igolkin, Ye. V. Aronova, N. N. Vlasova

“…Thus, when comparing in vitro and in vivo cytokine production by macrophages, it was established that infection with low virulent virus isolates leads to an immune response with a predominance of cytokines involved in cellular immunity, such as INF-α and IL-12p40, as compared with infection with highly virulent isolates. …”

Exploring the anti-inflammatory effects of phytochemicals in attenuating interstitial cystitis-a literature review by Irfan Anjum, Ayesha Nasir, Faiza Naseer, Faiza Naseer, Ahsan Ibrahim, Bisma Rehman, Fawad Bashir, Qura Tul Ain

“…However, cyclophosphamide has been employed in developing animal models of interstitial cystitis in in vivo studies. Phytochemicals including quercetin, beta-caryophyllene, curcumol, boswellic acid, caftaric acid, some flavonoids and other secondary metabolites being a consequential component of numerous medicinal plants, have displayed a significant reduction in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, NFĸB, IL-1β, NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-6, IL-2, matrix metalloproteinases etc. …”
