Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macrophages secrete interferons (IFNs), as well as other inflammatory cytokines, following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the outer membrane component of Gram negative bacteria that has been implicated as the initiator of the sepsis-associated Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). The interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) comprise a family of DNA binding proteins that positively and negtively regulate transcription of IFN and certain IFN-inducible genes. Basal and LPS-inducible levels of mRNA expressed by three IRF family member genes, i.e., IRF-1, IRF-2, and ICSBP, as well as a panel of other well characterized, SIRS-associated, inflammatory genes, were analyzed in macrophages derived from fully LPS-responsive mouse strains (Lps(n)), genetically LPS-hyporesponsive (Lps(d)) mice, IRF-1 and IRF-2 'knockout' mice, as well as from Lpsn macrophages rendered 'endotoxin tolerant' in vitro. Our results suggest that the IRF nuclear binding proteins, as well as serine/threonine phosphatases, play important roles in LPS-induced gene expression and may provide novel targets for therapeutic intervention, not only in Gram negative sepsis, but also in other syndromes characterized by inflammatory mediator excess.

Download or read book Characterizing Type I Interferon Mediated Inflammatory Response During Acute and Chronic Infections written by Shankar Subramanian Iyer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the course of infectious disease, the immune system generates a robust inflammatory response in order to eradicate the invading pathogen and restore tissue homeostasis. An essential feature of this process is the ability of the host to provide an anti-microbial response while preventing unnecessary collateral tissue damage. Many pro-inflammatory pathways, which contribute to host defense against infectious disease have been identified; however, the pathways that regulate and resolve the pro-inflammatory response preventing tissue injury are not well understood. To study the mechanisms by which the acute inflammatory response is resolved, we studied the Type I Interferon (IFN) pathway, a hallmark feature of acute phase immune response to viral infection, where induction of interferon stimulatory genes (ISGs) is required for host defense. In contrast, a strong type I IFN response often correlates with higher bacterial virulence and absence of a type I IFN response can enhance host-mediated clearance of many bacterial species. Therefore, it remains unknown whether the type I IFN response to bacterial infection is of benefit to the host and what the functional role might be. To elucidate the key regulatory pathways involved, we utilized RNA sequencing to identify a network of pro-inflammatory molecules that are transiently up-regulated but rapidly down-regulated in Toll like receptor (TLR) 4 stimulated mouse macrophages. Further studies in transgenic knockout animals revealed that the resolution of this pro-inflammatory network was dependent on type I IFN signaling as well as signaling of two type I IFN downstream targets, interleukin 27 (IL-27) and interleukin 10 IIL-10). Importantly in a model of acute systemic bacterial infection, abrogating the function of these molecules enhanced the host anti-microbial response, but concomitantly augmented inflammation including immune mediated organ damage resulting in increased mortality. Thus we have defined a type I IFN, IL-27 and IL-10 gene program, which is required for resolving acute inflammatory response to protect against tissue injury. Conversely we hypothesized that prolonged signaling by this pathway could create an immunosuppressive state conducive to the establishment or persistence of chronic infection. Utilizing a murine model of herpesgammavirus we demonstrate that defects in IL-27 or IL-10 signaling had little effect on active, lytic viral replication but prevented the establishment of viral latency. Thus we demonstrate how a single pathway can provide both beneficial and detrimental features in response to infectious disease.

Book excerpt: This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is also considerable demand for progress in drug research, new surgical procedures, and new clinical devices and equipment. While the original research target may be rare diseases, it is also important to apply those findings more broadly to common diseases. The book covers a wide range of topics and is organized into three complementary parts. The first part is basic research for innovative medicine, the second is translational research for innovative medicine, and the third is new technology for innovative medicine. This book helps to understand innovative medicine and to make progress in its realization.

This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Immunopharmacology provides a unique source of essential knowledge on the immune response, its diagnosis and its modification by drugs and chemicals. The 4th edition of this internationally recognized textbook has been revised to include recent developments, but continues the established format, dealing with four related fields in a single volume, thus obviating the need to refer to several different textbooks. The first section of the book, providing a basic introduction to immunology and its relevance for human disease, has been updated to accommodate new immunological concepts, particularly the role of epigenetics and the latest understanding of cancer immunology. The second section on immunodiagnostics offers a topical description of widely used molecular techniques and a new chapter on imaging techniques. This is followed by a systematic coverage of drugs affecting the immune system, including natural products. This third section contains 15 updated chapters, covering classical immunopharmacological topics such as anti-asthmatic, anti-rheumatic and immunosuppressive drugs, but also deals with antibiotics, plant-derived and dietary agents, with new chapters on monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy in sepsis and infection, drugs for soft-tissue autoimmunity and cell therapy. The book concludes with a chapter on immunotoxicology and drug safety tests. Aids to the reader include a two-column format, glossaries of technical terms and appendix reference tables. The emphasis on illustrations is maintained from the first three editions. The book is a valuable single reference for undergraduate and graduate medical and biomedical students, postgraduate chemistry and pharmacy students, researchers in chemistry, biochemistry and the pharmaceutical industry and researchers lacking basic immunological knowledge, who want to understand the actions of drugs on the immune system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunoregulation is one of the areas which has witnessed the most explosive advances of immunology during the past decade. It is in this area that the current view of the immune system has arisen and developed. There is indeed little doubt that immune reactions are primarily determined by messages which are genera ted within the immune system and passed among different types of immunologie cells. This cell communication not only determines the type, intensity and duration of the response after perturbation of the immune system by exogenous antigens, but it is also essential for preventing autoimmune reactions and their clinical conse quences. In order to assure aperfect balance within the enormous com plexity of the immune system, it is not surprising that multiple self-regulatory mechanisms are organized at different levels, such as antibody feedback, idiotypic-anti-idiotypic responses, suppres sor and helper T cells, lymphokine signals and genetic require ments. A nu mb er of observations in recent years have, however, demonstrated that consistent contributions to the immunological homeostasis are given also by signals generated outside of the immune system, namely,in the central and autonomous nervous system as weIl as in the endocrine apparatus. Furthermore, the interactions between the immune system and the other body homestatic mechanisms seem to be bidirectional: if immunological cells may be targets of neuroendocrinological factors, immunological products seem in turn to contribute to the neuro endocrine homeostasis.
