Masutaka Furue; Dugarmaa Ulzii; Yen Vu; Gaku Tsuji; Makiko Kido-Nakahara; Takeshi Nakahara

Volume 16, Issue 2 , June 2019, , Pages 97-107

https://doi.org/10.22034/iji.2019.80253

Abstract
  Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin inflammation, barrier dysfunction and chronic pruritus. In this review, recent advances in the pathogenesis of AD are summarized. Clinical efficacy of the anti-IL-4 receptor antibody dupilumab implies that type 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 have pivotal roles ...  Read More

Identification of the Rare, Four Repeat Allele of IL-4 Intron-3 VNTR Polymorphism in Indian Populations

Henu Kumar Verma; Aditya Nath Jha; Prafulla Kumar khodiar; Pradeep Kumar Patra; Lakkakula Venkata Kameswara Subrahmanya Bhaskar

Volume 13, Issue 2 , June 2016, , Pages 124-131

Abstract
  Background: Cytokines are cell signaling molecules which upon release by cells facilitate the recruitment of immune-modulatory cells towards the sites of inflammation. Genetic variations in cytokine genes are shown to regulate their production and affect the risk of infectious as well as autoimmune diseases. ...  Read More

Long Acting Propranolol and HSP-70 Rich Tumor Lysate Reduce Tumor Growth and Enhance Immune Response against Fibrosarcoma in Balb/c Mice

Ahmad Khalili; Zuhair Muhammad Hassan; Shahram Shahabi; Ali Akbar Pourfathollah; Seyed Nasser Ostad; Shokoofe Noori; Mehdi Mahdavi; Habib Haybar; Ladan Langroudi

Volume 10, Issue 2 , June 2013, , Pages 70-82

Abstract
  Background: Noradrenaline (NA), the principal neurotransmitter released from sympathetic nerve terminals, influences T-cell maturation, not only directly in developing T cells, but also indirectly, by acting on the thymic nonlymphoid cells. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the anti-proliferative, ...  Read More

Sclareol Reduces CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ T-reg Cells in a Breast Cancer Model in Vivo

Shokoofe Noori; Zuhair Mohammad Hassan; Omid Salehian

Volume 10, Issue 1 , March 2013, , Pages 10-21

Abstract
  Background: Sclareol is a phytochemical used in people's diet in Southeast Asia. Objective: To investigate the immunotherapeutic effectiveness of Sclareol against breast cancer by direct intraperitoneal injection. Methods: Sclareol was isolated and purified from Salvia sclarea. Effect of Sclareol on ...  Read More

Th1 and Th2 Cytokine Profiles in Malignant Pleural Effusion

Mohammad Ali Ghayumi; Zahra Mojtahedi; Mohammad Javad Fattahi

Volume 8, Issue 4 , December 2011, , Pages 195-200

Abstract
  Background: The alteration of Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels is the subject of controversy in pleural effusions caused by malignancy, a situation that favors a Th2 immune response. Objective: To examine the different levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (Th2 cytokines), and IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) ...  Read More

IL-4 Can Inhibit IL-17 Production in Collagen Induced Arthritis

Siamak Sandoghchian Shotorbani; Yue Zhang; Samuel Essien Baidoo; Huaxi Xu; Mohammad Ahmadi

Volume 8, Issue 4 , December 2011, , Pages 209-217

Abstract
  Background: IL-4 is a cytokine that induces differentiation of naive helper T cells into Th2 cells. Once activated by IL-4, Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4. Objective: To examine the effect of IL-4 on IL-17 production and its effect in Collagen- Induced Arthritis (CIA) mice. Method: In ...  Read More

Detection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis

Maryam Robati; Ardeshir Ranjbari; Mehri Ghafourian Boroujerdnia; Zahra Chinipardaz

Volume 8, Issue 3 , September 2011, , Pages 170-175

Abstract
  Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved ...  Read More

Tehranolide Could Shift the Immune Response towards Th1 and Modulate the Intra-Tumor Infiltrated T Regulatory Cells

Shokoofe Noori; Mohammad Taghikhani; Zuhair M. Hassan; Abdolamir Allameh; Ali Mostafaei

Volume 6, Issue 4 , December 2009, , Pages 216-224

Abstract
  Background: Artemisia diffusa contains a new type of sesquiterpene lactone with an endoperoxide group (Tehranolide). Objective: Due to the existing similarity between the structures of Tehranolide and Artemisinin, it was hypothesized that Tehranolide would have similar effects as Artemisinin. In this ...  Read More

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms

Mojgan Mohammadi; Mohammad Reza Bazrafshani; Philip.J Day; William. E.R. Ollier

Volume 6, Issue 3 , September 2009, , Pages 119-129

Abstract
  Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 ...  Read More
