## Abstract Inflammatory cytokines are well known to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Among them, interleukin (IL)‐17 is a cytokine that is mainly synthesized by activated T cells and its receptors are present in osteoblasts. The synthesis of IL‐6, known to stimulate
A mutant Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) lacking myristoyl fatty acid markedly stimulates the activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) without inducing tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF␣) production by human monocytes (Tian et al., 1998, Am J Physiol 275:C740.), suggesting that induct
## Abstract This study describes the involvement of the p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) during interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) signaling in fetal brain astrocytes. In some pathological conditions of brain, p38 MAPK transduces stress‐related signals, increases expression of proinflammatory cytokine
