The inhibition of periodontal ligament stem cells osteogenic differentiation by IL-17 is mediated via MAPKs
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
Periodontal disease (PD), a degenerative bacterially induced disease of periodontium, can lead to bone resorption and teeth loss. Development of PD includes a strong inflammatory reaction, which involves multiple immune ...
Doxycycline Inhibits IL-17-Stimulated MMP-9 Expression by Downregulating ERK1/2 Activation: Implications in Myogenic Differentiation
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2016)
Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a cytokine with pleiotropic effects associated with several inflammatory diseases. Although elevated levels of IL-17 have been described in inflammatory myopathies, its role in muscle remodeling ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is an endogenous regulator of stress-induced extramedullary erythropoiesis
(Springer, New York, 2016)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a well-known proinflammatory cytokine that is released during systemic stress response. Although MIF can affect erythrocyte production, the role of this cytokine in stress-induced ...
The Roles of Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells in Tumor Microenvironment Associated with Inflammation
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2016)
State of tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely linked to regulation of tumor growth and progression affecting the final outcome, refractoriness, and relapse of disease. Interactions of tumor, immune, and mesenchymal ...
