The association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and chronic osteomyelitis was investigated in order to determine whether genetic variability in cytokine genes predisposes to osteomyelitis susceptibility. Significant genotypic and allelic associations were observed between interleukin 1alpha (IL-1alpha) -889-C/T, IL-4 -1098-G/T and -590-C/T, and IL-6 -174-G/C polymorphisms and osteomyelitis in the Greek population, pointing towards their potential involvement in osteomyelitis pathogenesis.

MiR-128-3p promotes hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and psoriasis-like inflammation by targeting SIRT1/HIF-1α.
Arch Dermatol Res
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Dermatology, Huzhou, 313200, China.
Psoriasis is a long-lasting inflammatory skin condition characterized by excessive keratinocyte growth. Recent studies have confirmed abnormal regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in individuals with psoriasis. This study aimed to investigate the function and specific mechanism of action of miR-128a-3p in interleukin-22 (IL-22)-stimulated HaCaT cells.

Aims: Angiogenesis is tightly controlled by growth factors and cytokines in pathophysiological settings. Despite the importance of Interleukin 29 (IL-29), a newly identified cytokine of type III interferon family, its role in angiogenesis remains unknown. We aimed to elucidate IL-29's impact on angiogenesis under both and physiological and pathological conditions.

One of the primary reasons for the failure of therapy in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is radio resistance-related localized one, which may lead to tumor residuals or recurrences. Several studies have linked interleukin-10 (IL-10) to crucial functions in cancer development and response to therapy. Its function in NPC's radio resistance is, however, not well understood.

Background: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is associated with hypertension and vascular remodeling. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and the Hippo-YAP pathway are implicated in these processes, but their specific roles remain unclear. This study investigated the HIF-1α/Hippo-YAP pathway in SAS-related hypertension.

Background: In neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD), myocardial remodelling involves activation of inflammatory pathways. The role of hypoxemia related pathways is however unknown. This study was therefore designed to investigate myocardial mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in neonates with CHD and analyse its influence on post-operative outcome.
