Melatonin facts: Melatonin lacks immuno-inflammation boosting capacities at the molecular and cellular levels
PharmacologyFacial repigmentation is the primary outcome measure for most vitiligo trials. The Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) score is often chosen as the primary outcome measure to assess the efficacy of treatments for facial vitiligo.
Performance and Tolerance of a Protocol for Idiopathic Chronic Greasy Seborrhea in 18 Dogs Using a Shampoo and Mousse Containing Plant Extracts
Médecine vétérinaire, Veterinary medicineThe study aimed to evaluate the tolerance, performance and effect on hair lipids and skin hydration of a protocol combining applications of one shampoo and subsequent mousses containing plant extracts (Ophytrium and Seboliance) in dogs with an undiagnosed chronic greasy keratinisation disorder.
Dermal fibroblasts are the key sensors of aseptic skin inflammation through interleukin 1 release by lesioned keratinocytes
Inflammation, Pharmacologie, PharmacologyIL-1 plays a crucial role in triggering sterile inflammation following tissue injury.
Although most studies associate IL-1 release by injured cells to the recruitment of neutrophils for tissue repair, the inflammatory cascade involves several molecular and cellular actors whose role remains to be specified.
Clinical and Microbiological Performances and Effects on Lipid and Cytokine Production of a Ceruminolytic Ear Cleaner in Canine Erythemato-Ceruminous Otitis Externa
Médecine vétérinaire, Veterinary medicineErythemato-ceruminous otitis externa (ECOE) is the most common type of otitis in dogs and is generally associated with bacterial and/or yeast infections.
Multiplex Cytokine Analyses in Ear Canals of Dogs Suggest Involvement of IL-8 Chemokine in Atopic Otitis and Otodectic Mange—Preliminary Results
Médecine vétérinaire, Veterinary medicineAtopic dermatitis is a form of allergy of genetic origin accompanied by itching, during which the animal more easily develops allergies to environmental factors, usually pollen and dust mites.
Lymphotonic activity of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone and vitamin C in human lymphatic smooth muscle cells
Pharmacologie, PharmacologyBesides actions including their venotonic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects, venoactive drugs are expected to act on edema via their action on lymphatics.
Survey of cytokines on ocular surfaces of atopic dogs by multiplex analysis using two sampling methods – a pilot Study
Médecine vétérinaire, Veterinary medicineConjunctivitis in atopic dogs has already been described yet is rarely observed, and likely underdiagnosed in practice.
Effets sur les signes cliniques, les lipides et les facteurs d’hydratation des applications combinées de shampooing et de mousse contenant de l’Ophytrium et du Seboliance chez les chiens atteints de séborrhée
Médecine vétérinaireLes performances du shampooing et des applications ultérieures de mousse ont été évaluées chez des chiens atteints de séborrhée. Les applications d'un shampooing et de mousses sans rinçage ont permis une amélioration significative...
Évaluation des effets anti-inflammatoires et immunomodulateurs d’un produit sur un modèle in vitro de sang total canin
Médecine vétérinaireÉvaluation de l‘effet d’une molécule de référence sur un modèle d’Épiderme Canin Reconstruit atopique (RCE-AD)
Médecine vétérinaireA prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of the effects of an n-3 essential fatty acids supplement (Agepi® ω3) on clinical signs, and fatty acid concentrations in the erythrocyte membrane, hair shafts and skin surface of dogs with poor quality coats
Médecine vétérinaire, Veterinary medicineRefined Immunochemical Characterization in Healthy Dog Skin of the Epidermal Cornification Proteins, Filaggrin, and Corneodesmosin
Barrière cutanée et hydratation, Médecine vétérinaire, Skin barrier and hydration, Veterinary medicineFilaggrin (FLG) and corneodesmosin (CDSN) are two key proteins of the human epidermis.
Anti-inflammatory activity of CKC-containing cationic emulsion eye drop vehicles
Cosmetique, Inflammation, PharmacologyPreservative-free cationic emulsion-based artificial tears (ATs) or drug vehicles are innovative eye drop formulations with tear film stabilization and drug delivery properties, and valuable in vivo anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.
Cerebrovascular β-amyloid deposition and associated microhemorrhages in a Tg2576 Alzheimer mouse model are reduced with a DHA-enriched diet
Pharmacologie, PharmacologyCerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis.
Increased fatty acid synthesis inhibits nitrogen starvation-induced autophagy in lipid droplet-deficient yeast
Pharmacologie, PharmacologyCerulenin, a potent inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, and exogenous addition of palmitic acid could restore nitrogen-starvation induced autophagy in the absence of lipid droplets.
IL22/IL-22R pathway induces cell survival in human glioblastoma cells
Cancer, Inflammation, Inflammation, PharmacologyInterleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of the IL-10 cytokine family that binds to a heterodimeric receptor consisting of IL-22 receptor 1 (IL-22R1) and IL-10R2. IL-22R expression was initially characterized on epithelial cells, and plays an essential role in a number of inflammatory diseases.
Inhibition of keratinocyte differentiation by the synergistic effect of IL-17A, IL-22, IL-1α, TNFα and oncostatin M
Inflammation, Inflammation, Psoriasis, PsoriasisThis study highlights the precise role of cytokines in the skin inflammatory response (psoriasis). IL-22 and OSM more specifically drive epidermal hyperplasia and differentiation loss while IL-1α, IL-17A and TNFα were more involved in the activation of innate immunity.
Expression patterns of candidate susceptibility genes HNF1β and CtBP2 in prostate cancer: Association with tumor progression
Cancer, PharmacologyGenome-wide association studies have identified variants at multiple loci associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk. Some of these loci include candidate susceptibility genes, such as MSMB, HNF1β, and C-terminal-binding protein (CtBP2). Except for MSMB, the clinicopathological significance of these genes has not been investigated. We therefore aimed to analyze their expression in PCa tissues, in relation with tumor progression and aggressiveness.
Contribution of IL22 to experimental skin inflammation
Inflammation, Inflammation, Psoriasis, PsoriasisFocused on in vitro human models, we present the mechanisms of action of IL22 as well as its involvement in structure, metabolism, differentiation, chemotaxis, antibacterial activity, innate immunity, and tissue remodeling of epidermis.
