Inflammation mediators involved,

Glucocorticoids have been shown to inhibit gene transcription of other proteins involved in the inflammatory process, including the key inflammation mediators called cytokines (IL-1, IL3—6, IL8, GM-CSF, TNFa) (10,58,63—65). Steroids have been also shown to suppress the formation of cytokine receptors (10) dexamethasone, in particular, downregulates gene transcription of angiotensin II type 2 receptors (66).

Significantly, inflammation and lipid metabolism exhibit close functional interrelationships and are subject to coordinate, reciprocal regulation. PPARy and LXRs have been reported to reciprocally regulate genes involved in both immunity and lipid metabolism [6,90]. While the primary focus of the action of PPARy in inflammation has focused on receptor-mediated inhibition of inflammatory gene expression, there is a reciprocal effect of inflammation on nuclear hormone expression. Feingold and colleagues have extensively examined the inflammation-mediated suppression of PPARy and RXR expression [91].

Budesonide is a corticosteroid/flucocorticoid/intranasal steroid. It exhibits a wide range of inhibitory activities against multiple cell types and mediators involved in aller-gic-mediated inflammation. Its indications are Intranasal management of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms in adults and children oral inhalation for the maintenance treatment of asthma as prophylactic therapy in adults and children and for patients requiring oral corticosteroid therapy for asthma inhalation suspension maintenance treatment of asthma and prophylactic therapy in children 12 months to 8 years of age oral capsule Crohn s disease. 

Gene knock-out of COX-2 (an isoform of COX) or inhibition of COX has been shown to protect against intestinal polyposis in miee. NO is also known to be involved in inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis. iNOS miee treated with trinitrobenzene show significant resistance to colonie damage. Also, when inoeulated with B16-F1 melanoma cells, these mice develop fewer tumors. ...

Several studies have demonstrated that NSAIDs administered systemically or topically offer protection against continued SM-mediated toxicity. This suggests that inflammation is a key component of SM-induced injury, as it is with other cutaneous injuries, such as those induced by UVA (Yourick et al., 1995). These results suggest that inflammation is involved in the ongoing pathology of SM-induced injury, and that antiinflammatory drugs should be considered as part of a...
