Infection by human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is characterized clinically by cytopenias out of proportion to the number of cells seen to be infected directly. To study the pathogenic role of inflammatory mediators in HGE infection, cytokine prod

The pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encephalopathy has been associated with multiple factors including the neurotoxin quinolinate (an endogenous N-methyl-D-aspartate [NMDA] receptor ligand) and viral proteins. The kappa op

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are known to mediate brain inflammation following hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), but the precise mechanisms leading to PMN recruitment are undefined. The alpha-chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) has

Endogneous delta and kappa opioid peptides possess a variety of immunomodulatory properties, and kappa-opioid receptor ligands recently were shown to suppress the expression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in microglial cells, the resi

Activation of the immune system has been associated with the development of fatigue of unknown cause. We were interested in brain energy stores (e.g., phosphocreatine (PCr) and creatine kinase) after immune activation to investigate whether this syst

Although the precise mechanisms whereby HIV-1 infection induces neurodegeneration have yet to be determined, a great deal of evidence has incriminated glial cells and the production of proinflammatory mediators in this pathologic process. For this re

Opioids have been postulated to play an immunomodulatory role in the pathogenesis of HIV-1. Synthetic kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) ligands have been found to inhibit HIV-1 expression in acutely infected microglial cell cultures. We recently found that

Delta-opioid receptor (DOR) transcripts and binding sites are expressed by lymphocytes and lymphoid cell lines from several species. Direct modulation of lymphocyte function through DORs affects T cell proliferation, interleukin-2 production, chemota

We investigated a potential role for the soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) in modulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) function in the central nervous system by assessing IL-6 and sIL-6R effects on beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta-APP) transcription

Renal cell cytokine production stimulates HIV-1 expression in chronically HIV-1-infected monocytes. Renal infiltration of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected monocytes might play an important role in the development of HIV-associated
