A second-line therapeutic is often added to the treatment regimen in case of intolerable side effects, inefficacy or prolonged use of steroids. Methotrexate is considered by many to be the first choice drug in second-line therapeutics of sarcoidosis. Other often used second-line drugs are azathioprine and leflunomide. No large trials comparing different treatment options have been performed in sarcoidosis. In patients with severe disease who do not respond well to first and second-line therapy, biologicals such as infliximab can be promising. In this review, we provide a complete overview of all currently available therapeutic strategies in sarcoidosis. In addition, the gaps in current literature on sarcoidosis treatment were depicted to underline the importance of research in this mostly empiric field of medicine. Furthermore we highlight future medicine in sarcoidosis with emphasis on the role of personalised medicine. </p>","PeriodicalId":13680,"journal":{"name":"Inflammation & allergy drug targets","volume":" ","pages":"369-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40259430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In modern era, it has been shown to be effective against diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancers, bronchitis, and found to have anti-microbial properties. Several experimental studies have confirmed its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in modulation of both cellular and humeral immunity.

This microorganism has the capacity to initiate severe inflammation in infected lungs resulting in detrimental tissue damage. We have hypothesized that Syk protein tyrosine kinase mediates lung epithelial cellular responses to P. aeruginosa infection, and that a naturally occurring non-toxic Syk inhibitor piceatannol can protect infected human cells against the deleterious effects associated with this infection. We infected Syk-positive H292 or Syk-negative A549 human lung epithelial cell lines with P. aeruginosa and assessed the resulting cellular responses, i.e. production of proinflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecule expression, generation of reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis of infected cells, utilizing a multiplex bead-based immunoassay and flow cytometry. We also studied the internalization of P. aeruginosa using the gentamicin exclusion assay. We found that the piceatannol treatment significantly suppressed inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis in H292, but not in A549 cells implicating Syk participation in the regulation of the pathological processes induced by P. aeruginosa infection. Intriguingly, piceatannol was able to down-regulate the internalization of P. aeruginosa by both Syk-positive and Syk-negative cell lines, implying that the mechanisms of action of this compound extend beyond Syk inhibition. As piceatannol can interfere with several mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis this natural compound deserves further study as a potential therapeutic option in P. aeruginosa infection. </p>","PeriodicalId":13680,"journal":{"name":"Inflammation & allergy drug targets","volume":"12 5","pages":"297-307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31461626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To elucidate its bactericidal mechanisms, we determined whether EGCG affected the fluorescence intensities of bacteria-conjugated Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 dyes. When mixed with unconjugated Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 dyes, EGCG or analogs did not affect the fluorescence intensity of these dyes. In a sharp contrast, EGCG and some analogs (e.g., Catechin Gallate, CG), markedly reduced the fluorescence intensity of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus-conjugated Alexa 594 and Gram-negative Escherichia coli-conjugated Alexa 488. Interestingly, co-treatment with ethanol impaired the EGCG-mediated fluorescence quenching of the G(+) S. aureus, but not of the G(-) E. coli-conjugated Alexa Flour dyes. In light of the notion that Alexa Fluor dyes can be quenched by aromatic amino acids, it is plausible that EGCG exerts antimicrobial activities possibly by altering microbial protein conformations and functions.
