Castleman’s disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by atypical hyperplasia of the lymph nodes and systemic symptoms; can also affect the skin and the blood is important.
This condition is categorized by the level of engagement (unicentric or multicentric) and lymph node pathology observed (hyaline-vascular, plasma cell or mixed cellularity). Pathogenesis also has a role in the classification and treatment of multicentric Castleman’s disease; This variant can either be associated with the presence of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection or associated with POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes) syndrome, or idiopathic.
The main cytokines that are responsible for causing idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (IMCD) is interleukin-6 (IL-6). Therefore, treatment with agents that bind to IL-6 (as siltuximab) or blocking IL-6 receptor (such as tocilizumab) have been used. We report a woman with IMCD were successfully treated with siltuximab; and his skin manifestations of systemic disease (lung and lymph nodes) improved within three months. However, nine months after the start siltuximab, he developed a cough worsened and new infiltrates in the right lung on positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET / CT) scans; no other constitutional symptoms such as fever, night sweats and fatigue. Diagnosis including Castleman disease recurrence, lung neoplasm and infection.
Symptoms of pulmonary infiltrates on scanning resolved after treatment with systemic levofloxacin, showed that he had a fever pneumonia antibiotic sensitive. We found her therapy siltuximab blocked fever and constitutional symptoms associated IL-6 which is usually the hallmark of pneumonia. Therefore, patients who received the drug as siltuximab and tocilizumab that blocks IL-6 pathway and damage the acute phase inflammatory response may fail for real constitutional symptoms such as fever when infected.
Afebrile Pneumonia in a Patient With Multicentric Castleman Disease on Siltuximab: Infection Without Fever on Anti-Interleukin-6 Therapy
Anti-infective drugs furazolidone inhibits NF-kB signaling and induces apoptosis of cancer cells small cell lung
Targeting the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) signaling pathway has been a promising strategy for the development of new antitumor drugs. In this paper, we found that anti-infective drug furazolidone (FZD) could significantly inhibit NF-kB-driven luciferase activity, and real FZD could inhibit both the constitutive and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF) -triggered phosphorylation of NF kB p65 cancer small cell lung (SCLC). Further research revealed that FZD inhibitor inhibits the expression of kappa B kinase β (IKKβ) in SCLC cells.
In addition, we found that the FZD has significant antitumor activity in SCLC cells. Real FZD can suppress cell viability SCLC cells dose dependence, and FZD could significantly induce cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and Caspase3, biomarkers of apoptosis, in SCLC cells. Flow cytometry was also revealed that the FZD induced apoptosis in SCLC cells.
Finally, we also found that overexpression of constitutively activated IKKβ can significantly eliminate the FZD-induced inhibition of cell growth in SCLC cells, which further confirms that the FZD shown anticancer activity of SCLC via regulate NF-kB signaling pathway

Description: IL-17 Antibody: Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by activated T cells and is thought to have a major role in the initiation and perpetuation of rheumatoid arthritis. IL-17 regulates the activities of NF-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinases such as ERK and JNK. In addition, IL-17 stimulates the expression of IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 and enhances the production of nitric oxide. IL-17-producing T helper cells (TH-17 cells) have been the subject of much attention due to the importance of IL-17 in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation. Because of its role in autoimmune diseases, it is thought that targeting the production and action of IL-17 would be beneficial therapeutically in these diseases.

Description: The originally described IL-17 protein, now known as IL-17A, is a homodimer of two 136 amino acid chains, secreted by activated T-cells that act on stromal cells to induce production of proinflammatory and hematopoietic bioactive molecules. Today, IL-17 represents a family of structurally-related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. The six known members of this family, IL-17A through IL-17F, are secreted as homodimers. IL-17A exhibits cross-species bioactivity between human and murine cells. Recombinant human IL-17A is a 31.3 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two 137 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Description: Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice. As IL-17 shares properties with IL-1 and TNF-alpha, it may induce joint inflammation and bone and cartilage destruction. This cytokine is found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and produced by rheumatoid arthritis synovium. It increases IL-6 production, induces collagen degradation and decreases collagen synthesis by synovium and cartilage and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage. IL-17 is also able to increase bone destruction and reduce its formation. Blocking of interleukin-17 with specific inhibitors provides a protective inhibition of cartilage and bone degradation.
