- Systemic inflammation
Orphan date February 2009 Chronic systemic inflammation SI is the result of release of pro inflammatory cytokine s from immune related cells and the chronic activation of the innate immune system. It can contribute to the development or progression of certain conditions. ref name pmid14676136 Cite journal author Sattar N, McCarey DW, Capell H, McInnes IB title Explaining how high grade systemic inflammation accelerates vascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis journal Circulation volume 108 issue 24 pages 2957 63 year 2003 month December pmid 14676136 doi 10.1161 01.CIR.0000099844.31524.05 url http circ.ahajournals.org cgi pmidlookup?view long&pmid 14676136 ref Mechanisms Inducing SI Release of pro inflammatory cytokine s and activation of the innate immune system may be the result of either external biological or chemical agents or internal genetic mutations variations factors. Lack of Control by Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells and T regulatory Cells While SI may be induced by multiple external factors, research suggests that a lack of control by tolerogenic dendritic cell s and T regulatory cell s Treg is possibly the primary risk factor for the development of SI. In functioning immune responses, T helper and T cytotoxic cells are activated by presentation of antigens by antigen presenting cell s APCs . Chief among these are dendritic cell s DCs . When a DC presents an antigen to a Treg cell, a signal is then sent to the nucleus of the DC, resulting in the production of Indoleamine 2,3 Dioxygenase IDO . IDO inhibits T cell responses by depleting tryptophan and producing kynurenine , which is toxic to the cell. Individuals susceptible to developing chronic systemic inflammation appear to lack proper functioning of Treg cells and TDCs. In these individuals, a lack of control of inflammatory processes results in multiple chemical and food intolerances, autoimmune diseases and many other symptoms and diseases.
