Download or read book Curcumin in Health and Disease written by Beatrice E. Bachmeier and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plant-derived polyphenol curcumin has been used in promoting health and combating disease for thousands of years. Its therapeutic effects have been successfully utilized in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine in order to treat inflammatory diseases. Current results from modern biomolecular research reveal the modulatory effects of curcumin on a variety of signal transduction pathways associated with inflammation and cancer. In this context, curcumin’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic, and even anti-metastatic activities are discussed. On the cellular level, the reduced activity of several transcription factors (such as NFkB or AP-1) and the suppression of inflammatory cytokines, matrix degrading enzymes, metastasis related genes and even microRNAs are reported. On functional levels, these molecular effects translate into reduced proliferative, invasive, and metastatic capacity, as well as induced tumor cell apoptosis. All these effects have been observed not only in vitro but also in animal models. In combination with anti-neoplastic drugs like Taxol, kinase inhibitors, and radiation therapy, curcumin potentiates the drugs’ therapeutic power and can protect against undesired side effects. Natural plant-derived compounds like curcumin have one significant advantage: They do not usually cause side effects. This feature qualifies curcumin for primary prevention in healthy persons with a predisposition to cancer, arteriosclerosis, or chronic inflammatory diseases. Nonetheless, curcumin is considered safe, although potential toxic effects stemming from high dosages, long-term intake, and pharmacological interactions with other compounds have yet to be assessed. This Special Issue examines in detail and updates current research on the molecular targets, protective effects, and modes of action of natural plant-derived compounds and their roles in the prevention and treatment of human diseases.
Download or read book Molecular Basis of Health and Disease written by Undurti N. Das and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-02 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes how the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules is related to health and disease. It is suggested that many diseases are initiated and their progress is influenced by inflammatory molecules and a decrease in the production and/or action of anti-inflammatory molecules and this imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules seems to have been initiated in the perinatal period. This implies that strategies to prevent and manage various adult diseases should start in the perinatal period. An alteration in the metaolism of essential fatty acids and their anti-inflammatory molecules such as lipoxins, resolvins, protecitns, maresins and nitrolipids seems to play a major role in the pathobiology of several adult diseases. Based on these concepts, novel therapeutic approaches in the management of insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune diseases are presented. Based on all these evidences, a unified concept that several adult diseases are due to an alteration in the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules is discussed and novel methods of their management are presented.
Download or read book Inflammation Protocols written by Paul G. Winyard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflammation has been described as the basis of many pathologies of human disease. When one considers the updated signs of inflammation, they would be vasodilation, cell migration, and, in the case of chronic inflam- tion, cell proliferation, often with an underlying autoimmune basis. Gen- ally, inflammation may be divided into acute, chronic, and autoimmune, - though the editors believe that most, if not all, chronic states are often the result of an autoimmune response to an endogenous antigen. Thus, a proper understanding of the inflammatory basis may provide clues to new therap- tic targets not only in classical inflammatory diseases, but atherosclerosis, cancer, and ischemic heart disease as well. The lack of advances in classical inflammatory diseases, such as rh- matoid arthritis, may in part arise from a failure to classify the disease into different forms. That different forms exist is exemplified in patients with d- fering responses to existing antiinflammatory drugs, ranging from nonresponders to very positive responders for a particular nonsteroidal an- inflammatory drug (NSAID). Though researchers have progressively unr- eled the mechanisms, the story is far from complete. It should also be noted that the inflammatory response is part of the innate immune response, or to use John Hunter’s words in 1795, “inflammation is a salutary response.” That may be applied in particular to the defensive response to invading micro- ganisms.

Download or read book 10 Years of Inflammation Pharmacology written by Paola Patrignani and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past and future of inflammatory pharmacology research: a hot topic in health and disease Inflammation is a physiological response to a traumatic injury, bacterial, or viral infection. However, if not appropriately controlled, it contributes to a long list of diseases, including asthma, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and cancer. Different are the types of inflammatory responses. Acute inflammation is an immediate body response to the cellular damage induced by pathogens, noxious stimuli, or physical injury – it is a short-term response resulting in healing via time-dependent changes of leukocyte functions. First, a leukocytes infiltration happens within the damaged region with the purpose of eliminating the stimulus and repairing the tissue. Chronic inflammation, by contrast, is a prolonged and dysregulated response where the active inflammation contributes both to tissue destruction and to the development of many chronic human conditions and diseases. In the context of exaggerated inflammation, which occurs as a consequence of severe burns or trauma, the body response called sepsis can be associated with fatal outcome. Increased knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms taking part in the different types of inflammation is a central requirement to develop more effective and safer treatments. This is a necessary step to prevent potential severe consequences, i.e., organ failure associated with tissue fibrosis. The mission of Inflammation Pharmacology (section of Frontiers in Pharmacology) is to publish scientifically sound studies that advance our knowledge on different aspects of inflammation and contribute to the development of more effective and safer anti-inflammatory agents. Within the present eBook are collected the top articles published in the Inflammation Pharmacology section in the last 10 years. Some articles explored the roles played by different lipid mediators generated from arachidonic acid, including leukotrienes and prostanoids [such as prostacylin and prostaglandin(PG)F2a], in inflammatory conditions. Moreover, the protectin (PD) family of specialized pro-resolving mediators biosynthesized from the two omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and n–3 docosapentaenoic acid (n–3 DPA) were described for their biological effects, the G-coupled protein receptors pharmacology, biosynthesis, and medicinal chemistry. Some other articles focused on the development of novel strategies to counteract inflammation or to induce its resolution. The current concepts and controversies on classification, pathogenesis, and clinical management of cutaneous adverse events induced by biologic agents used in the treatment of rheumatologic conditions were discussed in another article. The whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing data identifying new and old loci associated with atherosclerosis will lead to discovering new molecular targets for blocking atherosclerosis even in its early stages. This critical issue was reviewed in another paper. Numerous information on an individual clinical condition is held in their platelet-derived microparticles (MPs); the assessment of their number and size together with their content can represent the signature to acquire diagnostic information and to monitor the efficacy of therapeutic agents. Some other articles discussed the role of fibroblasts in the development of fibrosis and potential therapies under investigation. It was enlightened the role of the activation and transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into contractile, matrix-producing myofibroblasts (MFBs) as central events in hepatic fibrogenesis, and summarized the current strategies for targeted delivery of drugs to pro-fibrogenic liver cells, including the development of therapeutics specifically targeting HSCs.
