The alternatively activated43,22,55,59 M2 macrophage is anti-inflammatory44, and is characterised by a circular appearance30, low IL12 and IL23 with high IL10 as well as an increase in the expression of mannose and galactose receptors and the metabolism of arginine through arginase to ornithine and polyamine43,20,27,63,18. Arginase is known to help decrease lymphocyte proliferation1. M2 also have increased urea production, CD180, CD163, TREM2 and stabilin expression and decreased TNF-α, CD40 and CD86 expression27,29,30. M2 macrophages have various subtypes25,27,30,43,55,18,20,18. Subtype M2A is induced by Th2 responses, IL4 and IL13, M2B is induced by immune complexes and TLR and subtype M2C is induced by IL10, TGF-β and glucocorticoids25,30,55,20. …show more content…

As the cytokine binds to the receptor the receptor changes conformation thus bring the JAKs closer together and facilitating transphosphorylation of each other. The JAKs are now able to phosphorylate the tyrosines present on the cytokine receptors to become phosphotyrosines and which allow STATs to attach via their SH2 domain. Once attached, JAKs phosphorylate the STATs which then dissociate from the receptor. The STATs SH2 domain now mediates the binding of phosphotyrosines on two STATs to form a dimer. Once dimerised the STATs translocate to the nucleus through the nuclear pore and stimulates the transcription of the target gene6. Target genes of STATs include suppressors of cytokine signalling molecules (SOCS) which act through negative feedback to supress further signalling60. There are also inhibitors of STATS known as protein inhibitor of activated STATS (PIAS) which prevent the binding of STATS to DNA4. The JAK/STAT pathway is used in the polarisation of M1 and M2 macrophages. IFN-γ which is produced during the TH1 response activates JAK1 or JAK2 to dimerise STAT1 which induces the M1 macrophage phenotype59,66,8. In contrast, IL4 produced during the TH2 response activates JAK1 or JAK3 to dimerise STAT6 which then induces the M2

It binds and stabilizes actin filaments, as well as regulating actin-myosin interaction in a calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)- and/or phosphorylation-dependent manner.(17) The domain of this protein includes binding activities to Ca++-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids. As

In vitro: Treatment of MM cells with SRT1720 inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in MM cells resistant to bortezomib therapy without significantly affecting the viability of normal cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that anti-MM activity of SRT1720 is associated with activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, poly(ADP) ribose

GDSC1027 Diseases and Medicine Term Paper Wong Ka Ho 13205919 Topic: Sjögren's syndrome Introduction: Sjögren's syndrome,which was discovered by an ophthalmologist Henrik Samuel Conrad Sjögren,is an autoimmune disorder. It is also a persistent disease that will have long term effects on the patients and it cannot be cured in a short period of time but fortunately it is non-transmissible. The major group of people having this disease is the 40-60 age and 90% of them are women because of their relatively weak immune system. Because of the weak immune system,the misclassification of good cells by white blood cells makes the white blood cells become the autoantibody,which are called Anti-SSA autoantibodies to attack other good cells.

These three isoforms have a cyclin A binding domain, DNA binding domain, dimerization domain, and a transcriptional activation domain with a pocket protein binding domain. They are also all activators involved in G1/S cell cycle transactions. When these isoforms experience a loss of function it results in cell cycle arrest and when they are over expressed the cell cycle is driven into S phase (Attowooll). E2F4 and E2F5 isoforms have similar characteristics with molecular weights of approximately 44.0 kDa and 37.6 kDa respectively (E2f gene protein coding). These two isoforms have a DNA binding domain, dimerization domain, and a transcriptional activation domain with a pocket protein binding domain.

When Kawasaki disease develops, the walls of these arteries become inflamed. Inside the blood vessels there is a cell layer called endothelium, it protects the vessel and prevents blood cells from leaving. During Kawasaki disease something triggers and causes the endothelial cells to become activated and causes the cells of the immune system to stick to the endothelium and seep through the blood vessel wall. Inflammation is caused by the immune cells gathering in the wall and sending chemical signals that duplicate more cells and damage the vessel wall. Intravenous gamma globulin interacts with the cells to quiet down the immune response.

In this representation, immune complex-created rheumatoid factors (proteins produced by the immune system that can attack healthy tissue in the body) and possibly other autoantibodies (an antibody produced by the immune system that is directed against an individuals own proteins) initiate the complement system to release C5a, which mediates chemotaxis in inflammatory cells (2). It is these inflammatory cells - namely neutrophils - that are recruited and contribute to local degradation of the

Immune checkpoint inhibitors: In order for an immune response to be productive, the approval of multiple immunological checkpoints is required. These checkpoints tend to include inhibitory pathways programmed to minimise autoimmunity (damage to normal cells and tissues via one’s own immune response). Although it is apparent that the functions of immune-checkpoints are necessary, it is known that tumours use such pathways as a mechanism of immune evasion (Korman, Peggs and Allison, 2006). Considering most immune checkpoints involve ligand-receptor relations (Pardoll, 2012), they can easily be blocked by antibodies or replaced by recombinant ligands or receptors. Blockages reduce self-tolerance allowing the identification and destruction of neoplastic cells.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The blood samples were collected from healthy donors without adding anticoagulant and serum was separated by removing blood clot. The serum was treated with research grade (SD Fine Chem) glucose at the concentrations of 100,200,300,400 and 500 gm/dL. Infrared spectrum was recorded in FTIR spectrophotometer (ShimadzuFTIR - 8400S) in the range of 4000 cm-1 to 400 cm-1.

Inflammation may be acute or chronic. It is a result of a response to an injurious agent such as microbes and allergens. Inflammation also repairs or replaces tissue damaged by injurious agent. Signs of inflammation include tumour or swelling.

The other components are antigen-presenting cells, which trap antigens and bring them to the attention of lymphocytes so that thev can mount their attack. How lymphocytes recognize antigens A lymphocyte is different from all other cells in the body because it has about 100,000 identical receptors on its cellular membrane that enable it to recognize one specific antigen. The receptors are proteins containing grooves that fit into patterns forrned by the atoms of the antigen molecule --- somewhat like a key fitting into a lock --- so that the lymphocyte can bind to the antigen. There are more than 10 million different types of grooves in the lymphocytes of the human immune system.

Leukocytes use blood mainly as a transport system to travel to areas of the body where they are needed. There are six families of leukocytes that have distinct roles in the body’s defense. These are the monocyte-macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. All the leukocytes except the lymphocytes are considered part of the innate immune system. Lymphocytes are the only leukocytes associated with

Overview of Immune system The human body provides the ideal environment for the microbes such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi to enter the body. Thus, it is the jobs of the immune system to keep them out by protect the body from the harmful substances. Immune system is when the networks of cells and tissues work together to defend the body against the foreign invaders.(Menche,2012 and National Institute Health,2003). According to the Latin word, immune come from the word immunis which is free or untouched. So it is mean that our body must free from the all pathogens that can lead to the diseases.

The reaction that occurs can be investigated via the adding of the liver extract which contains the arginase to urea concentrations and distilled water. The amount of urea formed is determined via spectrophotometric analysis α-INPP. The urea produced was known via the color reaction with the α-INPP, it is the reagent used for the colorimetric determination of urea. (Barry J, et al. 1984). The red color formed when the α-INPP is reacted with the urea, is sensitive to light thus it is photo labile.
