Recombinant cytokines have limited anticancer efficacy mostly due to a narrow therapeutic window and systemic adverse effects. IL18 is an inflammasome-induced proinflammatory cytokine, which enhances T- NK-cell activity stimulates IFNγ production. The of naturally blocked by high-affinity endogenous binding protein (IL18BP). IL18BP induced in the tumor microenvironment (TME) response upregulation negative feedback mechanism. In this study, we found that upregulated TME compared with...

Anaplastic Thyroid carcinoma is an extremely aggressive solid tumor that resists most treatments and almost always fatal. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) important marker for thyroid carcinomas a scaffold of the K-Ras protein. S-trans, transfarnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS; Salirasib) Ras inhibitor inhibits active forms proteins. Modified citrus pectin (MCP) water-soluble citrus-fruit-derived polysaccharide fiber specifically Gal-3. The aim this study was to develop novel drug combination designed treat...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multisystem disorder characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, neuropsychiatric manifestations. IgG injected intracerebro‐ventricularly (ICV) cause behavioral hyperactivity in mice. In the present study we investigated effects of APS whole‐serum ICV administration female Balb/C Control mice were with serum derived from healthy subjects or saline solution. Behavior was assessed staircase apparatus which combines locomotor...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by thromboses and neuropsychiatric manifestations possibly linked to brain inflammation. In order examine the levels of proinflammatory anti-inflammatory cytokines in experimental APS (eAPS) mice brains, we measured TNF- α , IFN- γ IL-10 homogenates (cytosolic fractions) slices (secreted level) at 6, 15, 24 weeks after immunization. We induced eAPS immunization Balb/c with β 2 -glycoprotein I ( GPI), major autoantigen disease controls adjuvant...

Abstract IL-18 is an inflammasome induced proinflammatory cytokine that augments T and NK cell activity stimulates IFNγ production. The of naturally blocked by a high affinity endogenous binding protein (IL-18BP). IL-18BP in the tumor microenvironment (TME) response to upregulation negative feedback mechanism. By evaluating 88 human specimens serum samples we were able show upregulated TME (median 11.2ng/gr) compared 0.3ng/ml). Moreover, showed most bound IL-18BP. IL-18BP-bound levels...
