The immune cytokine interleukin (IL)-7 and the β-chain of hepatocyte progress issue (HGF) mixture to type a naturally occurring heterodimer that stimulates the expansion of frequent lymphoid progenitors and immature B and T lymphoid cells. We’ve got cloned and expressed the heterodimer as a single-chain hybrid cytokine [recombinant (r) IL-7/HGFβ], which stimulates short-term hematopoietic stem…

Recombinant human proteoglycan-4 reduces phagocytosis of urate crystals and downstream nuclear factor kappa B and inflammasome activation and production of cytokines and chemokines in human and murine macrophages.
Gout is an inflammatory arthritis brought on by monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) crystals’ joint deposition. MSU phagocytosis by resident macrophages is a key step in gout pathogenesis. MSU phagocytosis triggers nuclear issue kappa B (NFκB) activation and manufacturing of cytokines and chemokines. Proteoglycan-4 (PRG4) is a glycoprotein produced by synovial fibroblasts and exerts an anti-inflammatory…
Recombinant Adiponectin Induces the Production of Pro-Inflammatory Chemokines and Cytokines in Circulating Mononuclear Cells and Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes From Non-Inflamed Subjects
Adiponectin is an adipokine with a modulatory function in metabolism and exerting each anti- and pro-inflammatory results. Ranges of adiponectin are elevated in serum and synovial fluid from sufferers with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Adiponectin is ready to stimulate the manufacturing of various pro-inflammatory elements from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from…
