In October 2013, the International Life Sciences Institute - Health and Environmental Sciences Institute Immunotoxicology Technical Committee (ILSI-HESI ITC) held a one-day workshop entitled, “Workshop on Cytokine Release: State-of-the-Science, Current Challenges and Future Directions”. The workshop brought together scientists from pharmaceutical, academic, health authority, and contract research...
D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT) is a newly described cytokine and a member of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) protein superfamily. MIF is a broadly expressed pro-inflammatory cytokine that regulates both the innate and the adaptive immune response. MIF activates the MAP kinase cascade, modulates cell migration, and counter-acts the immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids. For...
Colony stimulating factors (CSF) promote leukocyte survival by reducing apoptotic cell death. However, their effects on non-leukocyte cell types are unclear. Reduced apoptosis in colon epithelial cells is thought to contribute to the initiation of cancer. Here, we report diminished spontaneous apoptosis of human colon epithelial HT-29 cells in the presence of macrophage-CSF or granulocyte macrophage-CSF...
