Differential proteomic profiling towards elucidation of TB-IRIS pathogenesis by Peyper, Janique Michelle

“…Reactivation of Mtb lymphocyte memory responses likely only produces clinically-apparent inflammation (TB-IRIS) when multiple simultaneous but incompatible immune programmes (e.g. overzealous myeloid activity, Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg) coexist. Based on this model, existing compounds with the potential for rational, safe, effective TB-IRIS prophylaxis/therapy are identified (e.g. glutathione, vitamins B-complex and A/D/E, rapamycin, and metformin) which may assist in restoring system homeostasis.…”

Modulation of the progesterone receptor by progestogens, antiretroviral drugs and the glucocorticoid receptor by Enfield, Kim

“…The extent to which the presence of the GR affected the determination of progestogen-, model system-, promoter- and isoform-specific responses of progestogens via the PR in this study was not investigated for all models and genes, but is likely to be an unavoidable confounding factor. …”
