Focusing at the double-edged sword of redox imbalance: signals for cell survival or for cell death?

Pietraforte D1, Malorni W.
Antioxidants & redox signaling.Antioxid Redox Signal.2014 Jul 1;21(1):52-5. doi: 10.1089/ars.2014.5914. Epub 2014 Apr 22.
Redox signaling plays a fundamental role in tissue physiological metabolism. A fine balance between reactive oxidizing species (ROS) generation and antioxidant levels allows either the cross talk between cells or the control of fundamental intracellular functions, such as cell-cell interactions, cel

Mitochondrial metabolism, reactive oxygen species, and macrophage function-fishing for insights.

Hall CJ1, Sanderson LE, Crosier KE, Crosier PS.
Journal of molecular medicine (Berlin, Germany).J Mol Med (Berl).2014 Jun 25. [Epub ahead of print]
Metabolism and defense mechanisms that protect against pathogens are two fundamental requirements for the survival of multicellular organisms. Research into metabolic disease has revealed these core mechanisms are highly co-dependent. This emerging field of research, termed immunometabolism, focuses

Testicular defense systems: immune privilege and innate immunity.

Zhao S, Zhu W, Xue S, Han D.
Cellular & molecular immunology.Cell Mol Immunol.2014 Jun 23. doi: 10.1038/cmi.2014.38. [Epub ahead of print]
The mammalian testis possesses a special immunological environment because of its properties of remarkable immune privilege and effective local innate immunity. Testicular immune privilege protects immunogenic germ cells from systemic immune attack, and local innate immunity is important in preventi

Effect of the smell of Seirogan, a wood creosote, on dermal and intestinal mucosal immunity and allergic inflammation

, , , , , ,
Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition 51(2), 91-95, 2012
… The strong smell of the uncoated form of Seirogan may modulate the defense systems of animals because the sense of smell is important for the detection of toxic metabolites in foods contaminated with pathogens. … This study examined the effect of the sugar-coated and uncoated forms of this antidiarrhetic on the immunological response and inflammatory reactions in mice that had been sensitized with either fluorescein isothiocyanate or oxazolone. …

静磁場がヒト歯根膜細胞の免疫応答に及ぼす影響

村上修一
日本再生歯科医学会誌 9(1), 10-18, 2011
本研究は静磁場を作用させた際のヒト歯根膜細胞の免疫学的反応について研究した．静磁場のヒト歯根膜細胞に対する影響をManganase-superoxide dismutase（Mn-SOD）量とInterleukin-1β（IL-1β）をもとに検討した．測定は電子スピン共鳴を用いたスピントラッピング法とRadical酵素免疫測定法を用いて行った．磁場を歯根膜細胞に作用させると Mn-SOD活性は増加 …

乾癬および他のTh17細胞が介在する皮膚疾患

戸倉新樹,森智子,日野亮介
産業医科大学雑誌 32(4), 317-328, 2010-12-01
T helper 17(Th17)細胞は生体防御において重要な役割を果たし,その機能が過剰に発揮された場合,自己免疫疾患を誘導し,様々な炎症状態を惹起させる.Th17細胞はinterleukin(IL)-17のみならずIL-22を産生し,皮膚においてはIL-22受容体が表皮ケラチノサイトに存在する.IL-17とIL-22が協調的に作用して,サイトカイン,ケモカイン,抗菌ペプチドなどがケラチノサイト …
